(a) Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of
Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice must be in
writing and must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00
a.m. (New York City time) (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested
date of any Borrowing of, conversion of Base Rate Loans to, or continuation of,
Eurodollar Rate Loans, or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base

three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest
Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) five (5) Business Days prior to the
requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such
request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all
of them and not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) three Business Days
before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower whether or not the requested
Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each notice by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) shall be delivered by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent in the form of a written Committed Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
Each Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each

Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest
Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in
a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans or
Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any
such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last
day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to,
or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but
fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an

promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its ratable share of the
applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a
conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Term Borrowing or a
Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its
Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (or
1:00 p.m. (New York City time) in the case of Base Rate Loans) on the Business
Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the
initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the
books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire
transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to
the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the
date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the
Borrower, there are Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the
proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of
any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line
Loans, and third, to the Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued
or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due under Section 3.05 in connection
therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, at the election of the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, no Loans may be requested as,
converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders
of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans
upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar
Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the
Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings,
all conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same
Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any
Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by
such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of
the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower (provided that the
Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees to be bound jointly and severally to
reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn on any Letters of Credit
issued for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries) and to amend or renew Letters
of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and
(2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit
Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the
account of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that no L/C
Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any
Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter
of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Total
Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans
would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, or (z) the Outstanding
Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within
the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and
accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of
Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn
upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been
issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to
and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing
such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request
or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that
such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or
such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect
on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss,
cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which, in each
case, such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of
Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or
last renewal, unless the Required Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry
date;

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders have
approved such expiry date;

 

   67    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies in
place at the time of such request of such L/C Issuer;

(E) such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount of less than $100,000
(or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer in its
sole discretion, but in no event less than $50,000), or such Letter of Credit is
to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

(F) any Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the
applicable L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including reallocation of
the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding L/C Obligations
pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(iv) or the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory
to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to
eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving
effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising
from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of
Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or
potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit
if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to
such Letter of Credit.

(iv) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities
(A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts
taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents
pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent” as used in Article IX included each L/C Issuer with respect to such acts
or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C
Issuer.

(v) It is agreed that, in the case of a commercial letter of credit, such
commercial letter of credit shall in no event provide for time drafts or
bankers’ acceptances.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal
Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon
the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer
and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at
least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as such L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole
discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the
case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of
Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and

 

   68    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed
issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);
(B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of
the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary
in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such
other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case
of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter
of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory
to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the
proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the
nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the applicable
L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable
L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative
Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower
and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
thereof. Upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative
Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with
the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C
Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of
the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of
Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times
the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each,
an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter
of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once
in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter
of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a
day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter
of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the
Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for
any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the
Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable
L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an
expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if such L/C
Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue
such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of
the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise).

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a
Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary
thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also (A) deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment, and (B) notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such issuance or
amendment and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share
therein.

 

   69    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, the issuance of
any Letters of Credit by Credit Suisse under this Agreement shall be subject to
such additional letter of credit issuance procedures and requirements as may be
required by Credit Suisse’s internal letter of credit issuance policies and
procedures, in its sole discretion, as in effect at the time of such issuance,
including without limitation, requirements with respect to the prior receipt by
Credit Suisse of customary “know your customer” information regarding a
prospective account party or applicant that is not the Borrower hereunder, as
well as regarding any beneficiaries of a requested Letter of Credit.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. If such L/C Issuer notifies the
Borrower of such payment prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of
any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an
“Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided
that if such notice is not provided to the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the Honor Date, then the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C
Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit. If the
Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the
amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount
of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the
Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the
amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed
Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation
shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including each Lender acting as an L/C
Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds
available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for
this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed
Amount not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day
specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes
funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in
such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth
in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have incurred from

 

   70    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed
Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable
on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate
then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans. In such event, each Revolving Credit
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of
its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from
such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this
Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C
Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer
for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such
L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or
L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under
Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including
(A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for
any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or
(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation
to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of
a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C
Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount
required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without
limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be
entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate from time to time in effect and a rate reasonably determined by such L/C
Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus
any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by
such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such
amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance
in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of
the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

   71    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of
Credit issued by it and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such
Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with
Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such
L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest
thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during
which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those
received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any
of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving
Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C
Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent (which
the Administrative Agent agrees that it will make at the request of any L/C
Issuer), plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under
this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay
each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall
be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee
of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any
such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby
or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or
any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required
in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable
L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee
in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of

 

   72    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other
guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of such
Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable L/C
Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable to any
Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request
or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving
Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness,
validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter
of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks
of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its
use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and
remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under
any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related
Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of
such L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described
in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything
in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim
against such L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to
the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to indirect,
special, punitive, consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower
which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable
judgment were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence
or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight
draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a
Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the
applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights
or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove
to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

   73    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued
(including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit),
(i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the
Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof
as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter
of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of
Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial letter of
credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata
Share, a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable
Rate then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Revolving
Credit Facility times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under
such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect
under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically
pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided, however, that any
Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender
with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not
provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to
this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments
in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant
to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and/or to the Borrower in proportion to any Cash
Collateral it has provided to cover such Defaulting Lender’s exposure, with the
balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own
account. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in
arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any
change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of
each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in
effect.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to an L/C
Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own
account a fronting fee at a rate equal to 0.125%, in each case computed on the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly
basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the
quarterly period then ending (or portion thereof, in the case of the first
payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under
any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to
the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time
in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and
payable within five (5) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict
between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the
terms hereof shall control.

(k) Reporting. To the extent that any Letters of Credit are issued by an L/C
Issuer other than the Administrative Agent, each such L/C Issuer shall furnish
to the Administrative Agent a

 

   74    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

report detailing the daily L/C Obligations outstanding under all Letters of
Credit issued by it, such report to be in a form and at reporting intervals as
shall be agreed between the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer; provided
that in no event shall such reports be furnished at intervals greater than 31
days.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set
forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such
loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day
until the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that
such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing
Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender,
plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of
all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not
exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided,
further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to
refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under
this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this
Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on
the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving
Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent. Each such notice shall be in writing and must be received by the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to
be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall
be a Business Day. The Borrower shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by
the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will
confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has also
received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will
notify the Administrative Agent of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line
Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent (including at the
request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line
Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth
in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one
or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line
Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the borrowing date
specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan
available to the Borrower.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit
Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made
in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice
for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the
Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The
Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the
Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to
its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the
Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the
applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available
shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.
The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line
Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request
for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall
be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving
Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and
each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount
required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line
Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate
reasonably determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in
connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest
and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
committed Loan included in the relevant committed Borrowing or funded
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate
of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

   76    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or
to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as
provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a
risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will
distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during
which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those
received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its
Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a
rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will
make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of
the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.
Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall
be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments
of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the
Swing Line Lender.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or
from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium
or penalty, except as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iv) below; provided that
(1) such notice must be received by the

 

   77    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) (A) three
(3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and
(B) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans;
(2) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any
prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall
specify, in the case of any prepayment of Term Loans, the applicable Tranche
being repaid, and if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to
each, the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be
prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s)
of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its
receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion
of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s ratable share of the relevant
Facility or Tranche, as the case may be). If such notice is given by the
Borrower and not rescinded, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied
by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required
pursuant to Sections 2.05(a)(iv) and Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.18, each
prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be
applied on a pro rata basis to each Tranche of Term Loans and shall be applied
within each Tranche of Term Loans to the principal repayment installments
thereof in the manner directed by the Borrower (or, if no such direction is
given, in direct order of maturities to the principal repayment installments (or
proportional fractions thereof) applicable to such Tranche pursuant to
Section 2.07(a)); and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Appropriate
Lenders on a pro rata basis; provided that, at the request of the Borrower, in
lieu of such application on a pro rata basis among all Tranches of Term Loans,
such prepayment may be applied to any Tranche of Term Loans so long as the
maturity date of such Tranche of Term Loans precedes the maturity date of each
other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding or, in the event more than one
Tranche of Term Loans shall have an identical maturity date that precedes the
maturity date of each other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding, to such
Tranches on a pro rata basis.

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the
prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount
of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify
the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower,
the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or
(a)(ii) if the notice for such prepayment is for the entire amount of Loans then
outstanding under any or all of the Tranches and states that such notice was
conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein
(including the effectiveness of other credit facilities).

 

   78    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv) If the Borrower (A) makes a voluntary prepayment of any Initial Term Loans
pursuant to Section 2.05(a), (B) makes a prepayment of Initial Term Loans with
the proceeds of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(iii), or (C) replaces a Lender pursuant to Section 3.07(a)
hereof for failing to consent to a Repricing Transaction, in each case within
one (1) year after the Closing Date in connection with any Repricing
Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
account of the applicable Term Lenders, a prepayment premium in an amount equal
to 1.0% of the principal amount prepaid (or, in the case of clause (C) above, an
amount equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of Initial Term Loans repaid in
connection with such replacement).

(v) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may
prepay the outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:

(A) The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term
Loans at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment”) pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, a
Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers, or a Borrower
Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance
with this Section 2.05(a)(v); provided that (x) the Borrower shall not initiate
any action under this Section 2.05(a)(v) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment unless (1) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since
the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment as a result
of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date or (2) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since
the date the Borrower was notified that no Lender was willing to accept any
prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range
or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower
Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s
election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers made by a
Lender and (y) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of the Revolving Credit
Facility (whether or not the Revolving Credit Facility has been increased
pursuant to Section 2.14 or refinanced pursuant to Section 2.19) to acquire such
Term Loans (it being understood that cash from other sources, including
operations, may be used to fund such assignments, and this clause (y) shall not
require the specific tracing of cash used to fund such assignments). Any Term
Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v) shall be immediately and
automatically cancelled.

(B) Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment by providing the Administrative Agent with three (3) Business Days’
notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that
(I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the
Borrower, to each Lender or to each Lender with respect to any Tranche on an
individual Tranche basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate
Outstanding Amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment
Amount”), the Tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific
percentage discount to par value (the “Specified Discount”) of the Outstanding
Amount of such Term Loans to be prepaid, (III) the

 

   79    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less
than $10.0 million and whole increments of $1.0 million, and (IV) each such
offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment
Response Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly provide each relevant
Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of
the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each
such Lender to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00
P.M., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of
such notice to the relevant Lenders (or such later date designated by the
Administrative Agent and approved by the Borrower) (the “Specified Discount
Prepayment Response Date”).

(b) Each relevant Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Administrative
Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date
whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then
outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting
Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount of such Lender’s
Outstanding Amount and Tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered
discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount
Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Lender whose Specified
Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Administrative Agent by the
Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to
accept such Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.

(c) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower
will make prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05(a)(v)(B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance
with the respective Outstanding Amount and Tranches of Term Loans specified in
such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to the
foregoing clause (2); provided that, if the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Term
Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders
exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made
pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the
respective Outstanding Amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount
Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with
the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent
made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified
Discount Proration”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any case
within three Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response
Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such
offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranches to be prepaid,
(II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate
Outstanding Amount and the Tranches of all Term Loans to be prepaid at the
Specified Discount on such date, and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the
Outstanding Amount, Tranche and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid
at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Administrative
Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The
payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable
by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with
Section 2.05(a)(v)(F) below (subject to Section 2.05(a)(v)(J) below).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(C) Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers
by providing the Administrative Agent with three Business Days’ notice in the
form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such
solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each
Lender or to each Lender with respect to any Tranche on an individual Tranche
basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the relevant Term Loans that the Borrower is willing to prepay at a
discount (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the Tranches of Term Loans
subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par
(the “Discount Range”) of the Outstanding Amount of such Term Loans willing to
be prepaid by the Borrower, (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be
in an aggregate amount not less than $10.0 million and whole increments of
$1.0 million, and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain
outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The
Administrative Agent will promptly provide each relevant Lender with a copy of
such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range
Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding relevant Lender to the
Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York
time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the
relevant Lenders (or such later date as may be designated by the Administrative
Agent and approved by the Borrower) (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date”). Each relevant Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be
irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the
“Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any
or all of its then outstanding Term Loans and the maximum aggregate Outstanding
Amount and Tranches of such Term Loans such Lender is willing to have prepaid at
the Submitted Discount (the “Submitted Amount”). Any Lender whose Discount Range
Prepayment Offer is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to
their par value within the Discount Range.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers
received by it by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and will determine
(in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the
Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount
and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this
Section 2.05(a)(v)(C). The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range
Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by
Administrative Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the
order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the
Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the
Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount
Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par being
referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment in an aggregate Outstanding Amount equal to the lesser of (I) the
Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each
Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment
at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount
shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal
to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the
following Section 2.05(a)(v)(C)(c)) at the Applicable Discount (each such
Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

 

   81    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the
respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate
Outstanding Amount and of the Tranches specified in such Lender’s Discount Range
Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted
Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than
the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment
of the Outstanding Amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating
Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to
the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made
pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the
Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the
Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will
calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Administrative
Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following
the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (w) the Borrower of the
respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate Outstanding Amount of
the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranches to be prepaid, (x) each
Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and
the aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of all Term Loans to be prepaid at
the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each Participating Lender of the
aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at the
Applicable Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified
Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the
Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower
shall be due and payable by such Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(v)(F) below (subject to
Section 2.05(a)(v)(J) below).

(D) Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers by providing the Administrative Agent with three Business Days’ notice in
the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such
solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each
Lender or to each Lender with respect to any Tranche on an individual Tranche
basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Term Loans and the Tranches of Term Loans the Borrower is willing
to prepay at a discount (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”), (III)
the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not
less than $10.0 million and whole increments of $1.0 million, and (IV) each such
solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly
provide each relevant Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted
by a responding Lender to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later
than 5:00 P.M., New York time on the third Business Day after the date of
delivery of such notice to the relevant Lenders (or such later date as may be
designated by the Administrative Agent and approved by Borrower) (the “Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Lender’s Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the
Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”)
at which such Lender is

 

   82    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loans and the maximum
aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered
Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any
Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the
Administrative Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall
be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount
to their par value.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of
all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by it by the Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select, at its sole discretion, the
smallest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Lenders
in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that the Borrower is willing to
accept (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any, provided that the Acceptable
Discount shall not be an Offered Discount that is larger than the smallest
Offered Discount for which the sum of all Offered Amounts affiliated with
Offered Discounts that are larger than or equal to such smallest Offered
Discount would, if purchased at such smallest Offered Discount, yield an amount
at least equal to the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount. If the Borrower
elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon
as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no
event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the
Borrower from the Administrative Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (2) (the
“Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment
Notice to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the
Administrative Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice
from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(c) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers received by Administrative Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Response Date, within three Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and
Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the
Administrative Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and
subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its
reasonable discretion) the aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Tranches of Term
Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the
Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(v)(D). If the
Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to
accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by the Administrative
Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from
largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the
Acceptable Discount. Each Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at an Offered Discount that is greater
than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably
consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to
any required proration pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable
Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower will prepay
outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v)(D) to each Qualifying
Lender in the aggregate Outstanding Amount and of the Tranches specified in such
Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount;
provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose
Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the

 

   83    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered
Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified
Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying
Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying
Lender and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and
subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its
reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount
Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (w) the Borrower of the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranches to be prepaid, (x) each Lender
of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the
Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Tranches to be prepaid at
the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each Qualifying Lender of the
aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at
the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified
Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the
Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower
shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(v)(F) below (subject to
Section 2.05(a)(v)(J) below).

(E) Expenses. In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the
Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may
require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from the Borrower in connection
therewith.

(F) Payment. If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with
Section 2.05(a)(v)(B) through (D) above, the Borrower shall prepay such Term
Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such
prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount
Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as
applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds
not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal
installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity. The Term Loans so
prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par
principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05(a)(v) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders,
Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Tranches of the Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed
reduced by the full par value of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Tranches of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in
any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment. The Lenders hereby agree that, in
connection with a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v)
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
(i) interest in respect of the Term Loans may be made on a non-pro rata basis
among the Lenders holding such Term Loans to reflect the payment of accrued
interest to certain Lenders as provided in this Section 2.05(a)(v)(F) and
(B) all subsequent prepayments and repayments of the Term Loans (except as
otherwise contemplated by this Agreement) shall

 

   84    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be made on a pro rata basis among the respective Lenders based upon the then
outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the respective
Lenders after giving effect to any prepayment pursuant to this
Section 2.05(a)(v) as if made at par. It is also understood and agreed that
prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v) shall not be subject to
Section 2.05(a)(i).

(G) Other Procedures. To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures
consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.05(a)(v), established by the
Administrative Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably
agreed by the Borrower.

(H) Notice. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for
purposes of this Section 2.05(a)(v), each notice or other communication required
to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Administrative Agent (or its
delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon the Administrative Agent’s (or
its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or
communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received
outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the
opening of business on the next Business Day.

(I) Actions of Administrative Agent. Each of the Borrower and the Lenders
acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its
duties under this Section 2.05(a)(v) by itself or through any Affiliate of the
Administrative Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by
the Administrative Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated
duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions in this Agreement shall
apply to each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent and its respective
activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for
in this Section 2.05(a)(v) as well as to activities of the Administrative Agent
in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this
Section 2.05(a)(v).

(J) Revocation. The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount
Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the
applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is so
revoked, any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Lender pursuant
to this Section 2.05(a)(v) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default
under Section 8.1 or otherwise).

(K) No Obligation. This Section 2.05(a)(v) shall not (i) require the Borrower to
undertake any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v) or (ii) limit or
restrict the Borrower from making voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans in
accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Mandatory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) Within ten (10) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered
pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been
delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(b) (such date, the “ECF Payment Date”), the
Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount equal
to (A) 50% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso below) of Excess Cash
Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements commencing with
the fiscal year ended on or about December 31, 2013 minus (B) the sum of the
aggregate amount of voluntary principal prepayments of the Loans (except
prepayments of (x) Swing Line Loans and (y) Revolving Credit Loans unless
accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction of the Revolving
Credit Facility and excluding amounts repaid pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(v))
(1) during such fiscal year (which, in any event, shall not include any
designated prepayment pursuant to clause (2) below) and (2) during the period
beginning with the day following the last day of such fiscal year and ending on
the ECF Payment Date and stated by the Borrower to be prepaid pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b)(i)(B)(2), in each case other than to the extent that any such
prepayment is funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness, or the
proceeds of any Asset Sale or other disposition of assets to the extent that,
under clause (ii) below, the applicable Loan Party would otherwise have been
required to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale or disposition or
to apply such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of Loans; provided that such
percentage shall be reduced to 0% if the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio
as of the last day of the fiscal year most recently ended prior to the
applicable ECF Payment Date was less than 2.75:1.00.

(ii) The Borrower shall, in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vii), 2.05(c) and
2.05(d), prepay the Term Loans to the extent required by Section 7.09(c).

(iii) Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Term Loans
or any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to
Section 7.03, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom
immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary.

(iv) [Reserved].

(v) If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed
the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (including after
giving effect to any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to
Section 2.06), the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans
and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to
such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(v) unless
after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans
the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect.

(vi) Subject to Section 2.18, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to each Tranche of Term
Loans, ratably among the Term Lenders under each such Tranche, and to the
principal repayment installments of the Term Loans subject to prepayment in the
manner directed by the Borrower; provided that if no such direction is given,
each prepayment of Term Loans of the applicable Tranche shall be applied in

 

   86    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

direct order of maturity, to the next succeeding four (4) quarterly principal
repayment installments of the applicable Term Facility that are due pursuant to
Sections 2.07(a) (excluding the installment due on the Maturity Date); provided
that, at the request of the Borrower, in lieu of such application on a pro rata
basis among all Tranches of Term Loans, such prepayment may be applied to any
Tranche of Term Loans so long as the maturity date of such Tranche of Term Loans
precedes the maturity date of each other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding
or, in the event more than one Tranche of Term Loans shall have an identical
maturity date that precedes the maturity date of each other Tranche of Term
Loans then outstanding, to such Tranches on a pro rata basis.

(vii) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be made
together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a
date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing
in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05 and, to the
extent applicable, any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 2.05(a)(iv).

(c) Term Lender Opt-Out. With respect to any prepayment of the Term Facility
pursuant to Section 2.05(b), any Term Lender, at its option, may elect not to
accept such prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
any event giving rise to such mandatory prepayment at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the
date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the
amount of such prepayment (the “Prepayment Amount”). The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify each appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s
prepayment notice, including the date on which such prepayment is to be made
(the “Prepayment Date”). Any Lender may decline to accept such payment (such
Lender, a “Declining Lender”) by providing written notice of its election to the
Administrative Agent no later five (5) Business Days after the date of such
Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such
prepayment. If any Lender does not give a notice to the Administrative Agent by
such date informing the Administrative Agent that it is a Declining Lender, then
it will be deemed to be an Accepting Lender (as defined below). On the
Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the Prepayment Amount
accepted by the Term Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such Lenders
being the “Accepting Lenders”) to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting
Lenders shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by Borrower and applied by the
Administrative Agent ratably to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting
Lenders in the manner described in Section 2.05(b) for such prepayment. Any
amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans owing to
Declining Lenders shall instead be retained by the Borrower (such amounts,
“Declined Amounts”).

(d) Foreign Asset Sales. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Section 2.05, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from a
Casualty Event of, or any Asset Sale by a Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a mandatory prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) are prohibited or delayed by
applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, such portion
of the Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay
Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05 or 7.09(c) but may be
retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the
applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the
Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly
take all actions required by the applicable local law to permit such
repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash
Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be
immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly

 

   87    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result
thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans as required pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(ii) and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in
good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any
Foreign Asset Sale would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to
such Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii),
on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise
have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to
Sections 7.09(b) or (c), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net
Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds
had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the
amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if
such Net Cash Proceeds had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds
that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net
Cash Proceeds are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate
the unused portions of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or
the unused Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce
the unused portions of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or
the unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall
be received by the Administrative Agent five (5) Business Days prior to the date
of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an
aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess
thereof, or, if less, the entire amount of the unused portions of the Term
Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the unused Revolving Credit
Commitments in excess of the Outstanding Amount of all Term Loans, Revolving
Credit Loans, L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized or Swing Line Loans,
as applicable, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the
Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent
prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the
Revolving Credit Facility, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving
effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash
Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (C) the
Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent
prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed
the Swing Line Sublimit.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Borrower may rescind any notice of termination or reduction of commitments under
Section 2.06(a)(i) if the notice for such termination or reduction of
commitments is for the entire amount of commitments then outstanding under any
or all of the Tranches and states that such notice was conditioned upon the
occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the
effectiveness of other credit facilities).

(b) Mandatory.

(i) [Reserved].

 

   88    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) Upon the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Revolving Credit
Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically permanently
reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
commitments under such Permitted Refinancing Obligations and any outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans in respect of such terminated Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be repaid in full.

(iii) If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of unused Revolving
Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the
Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at such
time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may
be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(iv) The aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically and
permanently be reduced to zero on the earlier to occur of (A) the Termination
Date and (B) the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused
portions of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the unused
Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of
unused Commitments under a Tranche, the Commitment of each Lender under such
Tranche shall be reduced by such Lender’s ratable share of the amount by which
such Facility is reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any
Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the
effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on
the effective date of such termination.

2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable account of the Term Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all
Initial Term Loans outstanding in consecutive quarterly installments in amounts
equal to the following percentages of the amount of the Initial Term Loans made
on the Closing Date (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be
reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the
order of priority set forth in Section 2.05, or be increased as a result of any
increase in the amount of Term Loans pursuant to Supplemental Term Loan
Commitments (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same
manner (and on the same basis) as the schedule set forth below for the Initial
Term Loans made as of the Closing Date)):

provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the Initial

event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all
Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date.

for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date for
the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving
Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

(c) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the
earlier to occur of (i) the date five (5) Business Days after such Loan is made

there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Swing
Line Lender, the Borrower shall repay the Swing Line Loans in an amount
sufficient to eliminate any Fronting Exposure in respect to the Swing Line
Loans.

2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan
under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Rate for
Eurodollar Rate Loans under such Facility; (ii) each Base Rate Loan under a
Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
the applicable borrowing date at a rate per

 

   90    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, plus (B) the Applicable Rate for
Base Rate Loans under such Facility; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate plus
(B) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility.

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on all overdue Obligations hereunder, which
shall include all Obligations following an acceleration pursuant to Section 8.02
(including without limitation, an automatic acceleration) at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due
amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon
demand.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein; provided that in the event of any repayment or prepayment of
any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be
payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment,
and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law.

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and (i):

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a
commitment fee equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee times the actual daily
amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of
(A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding
Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.18.
The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the
Maturity Date, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for
the applicable Facility.

(b) Other Fees.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees
in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been
separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable
Rate.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (except for Base Rate
computations in respect of clauses (a) and (c) of the definition thereof) shall
be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three
hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.
All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a
three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis
of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year). Interest shall accrue on each
Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or
any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided that any Loan that

 

   91    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a),
bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of
an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial
statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders
determine that (i) the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio as calculated by
the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper
calculation of the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio would have resulted in
higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent
(or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief
with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States,
automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the applicable L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of
interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of
interest and fees actually paid for such period. This Section 2.10(b) shall not
limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the applicable L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h) or (i) or
2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this
Section 2.10(b) shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02 and the repayment of all
other Obligations after an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Sections 8.02.
Any additional interest under this clause (b) shall not be due and payable until
demand is made for such payment pursuant to clause (ii) above and accordingly,
any nonpayment of such interest as result of any such inaccuracy shall not
constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts
shall be deemed overdue (and no amounts shall accrue interest at the Default
Rate), at any time prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days following
such demand.

2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more
entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely
for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as an agent for the
Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima
facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made
by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any
failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit the
obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any
Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such
Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or
records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each
Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent,
entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any
conflict

 

   92    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the
accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register
pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or
accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of
the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and
payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in
the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an
entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit
the obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share in respect of the relevant
Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like
funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments
received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall
be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the
Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be
made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however,
that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of
Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the
time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of
a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a
rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on

 

   93    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with
the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to the Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender
shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If
such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative
Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders or an L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C
Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect
to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as
provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not
made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to
such Lender on demand, without interest.

(d) Obligations of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters
of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.07 are
several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any
such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.07 on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or, to purchase its
participation or to make its payment under Section 9.07.

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute
a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

   94    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C
Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees
then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C
Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such
parties.

(g) Unallocated Funds. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for
application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the
Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify
the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the
Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s ratable share of the sum of (a) the
Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or
prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to
such Lender.

2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein
(including pursuant to Sections 2.05(a)(i), 2.05(a)(v), 2.05(b)(vii), 2.05(c),
2.09(b), 2.17, 2.18(a)(iv), 2.19, 2.20, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06,
3.07, 7.10(a), 7.11 and 10.05), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans
made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held
by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the
participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case
may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may
be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of
such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any
of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such
purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to
the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount
equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of
(i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount
paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender
so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount
of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall
be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations
purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders
following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a
participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase
have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the
Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were
the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

2.14 Incremental Facilities

 

   95    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom,
the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the
Closing Date, (i) to request new term loan commitments under one or more new
term loan credit facilities to be included in this Agreement (the commitments
thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments” and each a “New Term
Facility”), (ii) to increase the existing Term Loans by requesting new term loan
commitments to be added to an existing Tranche of Term Loans (the “Supplemental
Term Loan Commitments”), (iii) to request new commitments under one or more new
revolving facilities to be included in this Agreement (the “Incremental
Revolving Commitments”); provided that in no event shall there be more than
three (3) revolving facilities outstanding under this Agreement at any one time
and (iv) to increase the existing Revolving Credit Facility by requesting new
revolving credit commitments to be added to an existing Tranche of Revolving
Credit Loans (the “Supplemental Revolving Commitments” and together with the
Incremental Term Loan Commitments, Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and the
Incremental Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), provided
that, (i) the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments permitted pursuant to
this Section 2.14 shall not exceed, at the time the respective Incremental
Commitment becomes effective, the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount and
(ii) if the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11 would be required to be
tested on the date of Incurrence of any Incremental Commitment (in the case of
any Incremental Revolving Commitments and Supplemental Revolving Commitments
being initially provided on any date of determination, as if Incurred in full on
such date) if it were the last day of a fiscal quarter, the Borrower shall be in
compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11 on a Pro Forma
Basis after giving effect to the Incurrence of any such Incremental Commitments
for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available (or, if earlier, were required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) or (b)). Any loans made in respect of any
such Incremental Commitment (other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and
Supplemental Revolving Commitments) shall be made by creating a new Tranche.
Each Incremental Commitment made available pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall
be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amounts as the
Administrative Agent may agree).

(b) Each request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall set forth
the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitments.
The Incremental Commitments (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing
Lender or by any other bank or financial institution (any such bank or other
financial institution, an “Additional Lender”), provided that, if such
Additional Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender
hereunder, to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the consent of any Swing Line Lender or
the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, that may be required pursuant to
Section 10.07 (it being understood that any such Additional Lender that is an
Affiliated Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.07(i),
mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if such Incremental Commitments and
related Obligations had been obtained by such Lender by way of assignment).

(c) Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Supplemental Revolving Commitments
shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a supplement
specifying the Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Credit Loan Tranche, as
applicable, to be increased, executed by the Borrower and each increasing Lender
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K-1 (the “Increase
Supplement”) or by each Additional Lender substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit K-2 (the “Lender Joinder Agreement”), as the case may be,
which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording in the
Register pursuant to which such Lender or Additional Lender agrees to commit to
all or a portion of such Incremental Facility, and in the case of an Additional
Lender,

 

   96    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender. Borrower may agree to
accept a lesser amount of any Incremental Facility than originally requested. In
the event there are Lenders and Additional Lenders that have committed to an
Incremental Facility in excess of the maximum amount requested (or permitted),
then Borrower shall have the right to allocate such commitments on whatever
basis Borrower determines is appropriate. Upon effectiveness of the Lender
Joinder Agreement each Additional Lender shall be a Lender for all intents and
purposes of this Agreement and the term loan made pursuant to such Supplemental
Term Loan Commitment shall be a Term Loan and the Supplemental Revolving
Commitment shall be an Initial Revolving Credit Commitment, an Incremental
Revolving Commitment or Extended Revolving Commitments of a particular Extension
Series, as applicable.

(d) Incremental Commitments (other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and
Supplemental Revolving Commitments) shall become commitments under this
Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Commitment Amendment”) to
this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the
Borrower and each Additional Lender. An Incremental Commitment Amendment may,
without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14
(including, without limitation, with respect to any Incremental Commitments to
be secured on a junior basis by the Collateral, appropriate modifications, if
any, to Sections 2.05(b)(vi), 8.02 and 8.04 of this Agreement and to the
Security Agreement), provided, however, that (i) (A) the Incremental Commitments
will not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the
Subsidiary Guarantors, and will be secured on a pari passu or (at the Borrower’s
option) junior basis by the same Collateral securing the Loans (so long as any
such Incremental Commitments (and related Obligations) are subject to an
Intercreditor Agreement or an Other Intercreditor Agreement), (B) the
Incremental Commitments and any incremental loans drawn thereunder (the
“Incremental Loans”) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with or (at the
Borrower’s option) junior to the Loans (so long as any such Incremental
Commitments (and related Obligations) are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement
or an Other Intercreditor Agreement) and (C) no Incremental Commitment Amendment
may provide for any Incremental Commitment or any Incremental Loans to be
secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also
secure the Loans; (ii) no Lender will be required to provide any such
Incremental Commitment unless it so agrees; (iii) (a) in the case of a New Term
Facility, the maturity date and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such
Incremental Commitments shall be no earlier than or shorter than, as the case
may be, the maturity date or the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term
Loans, as applicable and (b) in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments,
the termination date of such Incremental Commitments shall be no earlier than
the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Commitments; (iv) the interest rate
margins and (subject to Section 2.14(d)(iii)(a)) amortization schedule
applicable to the loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments shall be
determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders; provided that
in the event that the applicable interest rate margins for any term loans
incurred by the Borrower under any New Term Facilities are higher than the
applicable interest rate margin for the Initial Term Loans by more than 50 basis
points, then the Applicable Rate for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased
to the extent necessary so that the applicable interest rate margin for the
Initial Term Loans is equal to the applicable interest rate margins for such New
Term Facilities minus 50 basis points; provided, further, that in determining
the applicable interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loans and the New Term
Facilities, (A) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees payable
generally to all participating Additional Lenders in lieu of OID (which shall be
deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders
under the Initial Term Loans or any New Term Facilities in the initial primary
syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based
on an assumed

 

   97    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

four-year life to maturity); (B) any arrangement, structuring or other fees
payable in connection with the New Term Facilities that are not shared with all
Additional Lenders providing such New Term Facilities shall be excluded; (C) any
amendments to the Applicable Rate on the Initial Term Loans that became
effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of such New Term
Facilities shall also be included in such calculations and (D) if the New Term
Facilities include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor
applicable to the Initial Term Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to
the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an
increase to the Applicable Rate for the Initial Term Loans shall be required, to
the extent an increase in the interest rate floor for the Initial Term Loans
would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in
such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Rate) applicable to
the Initial Term Loans set forth in the last sentence of the definition of
Eurodollar Rate and Base Rate, respectively, shall be increased by such amount;
(v) such Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide (1) for the inclusion, as
appropriate, of Additional Lenders in any required vote or action of the
Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Tranche hereunder and (2) class
voting and other class protections for any additional credit facilities, and
(vi) the other terms and documentation in respect thereof, to the extent not
consistent with this Agreement as in effect prior to giving effect to the
Incremental Commitment Amendment, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to
the Borrower, provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not
consistent with, the terms and documentation governing the existing Loans
(except to the extent permitted by clause (iii), (iv) or (v) above), they shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

2.15 [Reserved]

2.16 [Reserved]

2.17 Cash Collateral.

(a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer
(i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request
under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or
(ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any
reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time
that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount
sufficient to cover 103% of all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds
subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit
accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided
by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of)
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and
agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit
accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as
collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17, and in all proceeds of the foregoing,
all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied
pursuant to Section 2.17(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines
that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than
the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such
Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other
obligations secured thereby (after giving

 

   98    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting
Lender), the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon
demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent
additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash
Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.17 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06,
2.18 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held
and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line
Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash
Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such
obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided,
prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce
Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following
(i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations
giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of
the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance
with Section 10.07(b)(viii))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith
determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however,
(x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be
released during the continuance of a Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or
(g) or an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this
Section 2.17 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and
(y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released
but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other
obligations.

2.18 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set
forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and
including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09), shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing
by that Defaulting Lender to the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender
hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or
reasonably requested by the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be
held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender
of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the
Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the
funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to
fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as

 

   99    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing
deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting
Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders, the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the
applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a
result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting
Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a
payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of
which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and
(y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied
solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments
or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or
held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral
pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by
that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment
fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee
that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees
as provided in Section 2.03(h).

(iv) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of
computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans
pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting
Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that
Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given
effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each
non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of
Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of
(1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Loans of that Lender.

(b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and each L/C
Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should
no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so
notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such
notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include
arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the
extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other
Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro
rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their ratable shares (without
giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a

 

   100    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with
respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while
that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

2.19 Extension of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Borrower may
at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the (i) Term
Loans of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an
“Existing Term Tranche”, and the Term Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Term
Loans”) or (ii) Revolving Credit Commitments of one or more Tranches existing at
the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and together
with the Existing Term Tranches, each an “Existing Tranche”, and the Revolving
Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Revolving
Loans”, and together with the Existing Term Loans, the “Existing Loans”), in
each case, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment
of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any
Existing Tranche (any such Existing Tranche which has been so extended, an
“Extended Term Tranche” or “Extended Revolving Tranche”, as applicable, and each
an “Extended Tranche”, and the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as
applicable, of such Extended Tranches, the “Extended Term Loans” or “Extended
Revolving Commitments”, as applicable, and collectively, the “Extended Loans”)
and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19; provided that
(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the
time of such extension or would exist after giving effect to such extension,
(ii) any such request shall be made by Borrower to all Lenders with Term Loans
or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, with a like maturity date
(whether under one or more Tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loans or on the aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments) and (iii) any applicable Minimum Extension
Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower in its sole
discretion. In order to establish any Extended Tranche, Borrower shall provide a
notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to
each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”)
setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Tranche to be established,
which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing
Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Tranche”),
except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Tranches may
be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified
Existing Tranche, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended
Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified
Existing Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders
providing such Extended Tranche in addition to or in lieu of any increased
margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (z) in the case of an
Extended Term Tranche, so long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such
Extended Tranche would be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of the Specified Existing Tranche, amortization rates with respect to
the Extended Term Tranche may be higher or lower than the amortization rates for
the Specified Existing Tranche, in each case to the extent provided in the
applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 2.19 or otherwise, assignments and participations of
Extended Tranches shall be governed by the same or, at Borrower’s discretion,
more restrictive assignment and participation provisions applicable to Initial
Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, set forth in
Section 10.07. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its
Existing Loans converted into an Extended Tranche pursuant to any Extension
Request. Any Extended Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans from
the Specified Existing Tranches and from any other Existing Tranches (together
with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).

 

   101    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten
(10) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable
Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an
“Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing
Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent
(each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such
Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Tranche that it has
elected to convert into an Extended Tranche. In the event that the aggregate
amount of the Specified Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds
the amount of Extended Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the
Specified Existing Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to
Extended Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing
Tranches included in each such Extension Election. In connection with any
extension of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.19 (each, an “Extension”),
Borrower shall agree to such procedures regarding timing, rounding and other
administrative adjustments to ensure reasonable administrative management of the
credit facilities hereunder after such Extension, as may be established by, or
acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to
accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19.

(c) Extended Tranches shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an
“Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to
provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in clauses
(x) and (y) of Section 2.19(a), or, in the case of Extended Term Tranches,
amortization rates referenced in clause (z) of Section 2.19(a), and which, in
each case, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of
this Section 2.19(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 10.01, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the
Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby)
executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending
Lenders. Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.19 and without limiting
the generality or applicability of Section 10.01 to any Section 2.19 Additional
Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or
additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any
such additional amendment, a “Section 2.19 Additional Amendment”) to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.19
Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such
Section 2.19 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without
limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Tranches
provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties
and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.19
Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 10.01;
provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for (i) any Extended
Tranche to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that
does not also secure the Existing Tranches or be guaranteed by any Person other
than the Guarantors and (ii) so long as any Existing Term Tranches are
outstanding, any mandatory or voluntary prepayment provisions that do not also
apply to the Existing Term Tranches (other than Existing Term Tranches secured
on a junior basis by the Collateral or ranking junior in right of payment, which
shall be subject to junior prepayment provisions) on a pro rata basis (or
otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for Existing Term
Tranches than such Extended Term Tranches as contemplated by Section 2.05(b)).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, any such Extension
Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments
to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable
judgment of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions
of this Section 2.19; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent
on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.19 Additional Amendment.

 

   102    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any
date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled
maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in
the case of the Specified Existing Tranche of each Extending Lender, the
aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Tranche shall be deemed
reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Tranche
so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Tranches shall be
established as a separate Tranche from the Specified Existing Tranche and from
any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so
established on such date).

(e) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines
to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set
forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a
“Non-Extending Lender”) then Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent
and the Non-Extending Lender, replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such
Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to
Section 10.07 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be
paid by Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to Borrower to find a replacement
Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to
provide Extended Loans on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment;
provided, further, that all obligations of Borrower owing to the Non-Extending
Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the
assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment
and Assumption. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.19,
if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption by the later of (A) the date on
which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and
Assumption and (B) the date as of which all obligations of Borrower owing to the
Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in
full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such
Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such
Assignment and Assumption as of such date and Borrower shall be entitled (but
not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption on behalf
of such Non-Extending Lender.

(f) Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of Borrower, any
Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Existing Loans
deemed to be an Extended Loan under the applicable Extended Tranche on any date
(each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date of such Extended
Tranche; provided that such Lender shall have provided written notice to
Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to
such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may
agree in its reasonable discretion); provided, further, that no greater amount
shall be paid by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Affiliates to any such
Non-Extending Lender as consideration for its extension into such Extended
Tranche than was paid to any Extended Lender as consideration for its Extension
into such Extended Tranche. Following a Designation Date, the Existing Loans
held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended
Loans of the applicable Extended Tranche, and any Existing Loans held by such
Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be “Existing Loans”
of the applicable Tranche.

(g) With respect to all Extensions consummated by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.19, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory
payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.05(a) and (b) and (ii) no
Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum
increment, provided that Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a

 

   103    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum
amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in
Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by Borrower) of Existing Loans of
any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium
in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the
relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision
of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05(a) and (b) and
2.07) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension
or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19.

2.20 Permitted Debt Exchanges.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made
from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders (other than any Lender that, if
requested by the Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified
institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an
institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities
Act)) with outstanding Term Loans of a particular Tranche, as selected by the
Borrower, the Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date
consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans of such Tranche for Additional
Permitted Obligations in the form of notes (such notes, “Permitted Debt Exchange
Notes,” and each such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing at the time the relevant offering document in
respect of a Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is delivered to the relevant Lenders,
(ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of
Term Loans exchanged shall equal the aggregate principal amount (calculated on
the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for
such Term Loans, (iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face
amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to any
Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the
Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the
Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as
may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof
pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans
being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for
immediate cancellation), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term
Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of
the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to
tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount of
the applicable Tranche actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate
principal amount of Term Loans offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant
to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term
Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders
ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so
tendered, (v) each such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made on a pro
rata basis to the Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the
Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified institutional
buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional
“accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) based
on their respective aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans of the
applicable Tranche, (vi) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt
Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications
generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and
substance consistent with the

 

   104    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

foregoing and made in consultation with the Administrative Agent, and (vii) any
applicable Minimum Exchange Tender Condition shall be satisfied.

(b) With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.20, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the
cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not
constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of
Section 2.05 and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not
less than $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, provided
that, subject to the foregoing clause (ii), the Borrower may at its election
specify as a condition (a “Minimum Exchange Tender Condition”) to consummating
any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and
specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s
discretion) of Term Loans be tendered.

(c) In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower shall provide
the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter
period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice
thereof, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, shall
mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish
the purposes of this Section 2.20 and without conflict with Section 2.20(d);
provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that
the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election
to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five
(5) Business Days following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer
is made.

(d) The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to
comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each
Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection
with the Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted
Debt Exchange (other than the Borrower’s reliance on any certificate delivered
by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(a) above for which such Lender shall bear
sole responsibility) and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its
compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which
such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01 or as required by applicable Laws
(which for purposes of this Section 3.01, includes any agreement entered into
under FATCA), any and all payments by the Borrower and any other Loan Party to
or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be
made without deduction for any Taxes, excluding, in the case of each Agent and
each Lender, any (v) Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, branch
profits Taxes, franchise Taxes and similar Taxes (including minimum Taxes)
imposed on it, in each case, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,
is organized, in which its principal office is located or in which it maintains
its Lending Office, (w) Taxes imposed by reason of a present or former
connection between an Agent or Lender and such jurisdiction (other than a
connection arising solely from such Agent or such Lender (or its applicable
Lending Office) as the case may be, having executed, delivered or performed its
obligations under any

 

   105    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loan Document, received a payment under a Loan Document or enforced its rights
under a Loan Document), (x) United States Federal withholding Taxes, other than
United States Federal withholding Taxes imposed on or with respect to any
payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or Agent
as a result of a U.S. Tax Law Change, (y) Taxes attributable to any Lender’s or
Agent’s failure to comply with Section 10.15 and (z) Taxes imposed pursuant to
FATCA or an agreement entered into pursuant to FATCA (all such non-excluded
Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”); provided, however,
that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender
becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments
of additional amounts under this clause (a) in respect of United States Federal
withholding Tax with respect to payments at such date, then, to such extent, the
term Non-Excluded Taxes shall include (in addition to United States Federal
withholding Taxes otherwise includable in Non-Excluded Taxes) United States
Federal withholding Tax, if any, imposed under applicable law with respect to
the Lender assignee on such date. If any Loan Party or Agent shall be required
by any Laws to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect
of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender,
(i) the amount payable by the relevant Loan Party shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all such deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 3.01), each of such
Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the amount it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Loan Party or Agent shall
make such deductions, (iii) the Loan Party or Agent shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date
of such payment, the Loan Party or Agent shall furnish to such Agent or Lender
(as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other
written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition but without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all
present or future stamp, court or documentary or mortgage recording taxes,
charges or similar levies which arise from the execution, delivery, enforcement
or registration of, or from the receipt or perfection of a security interest
under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, except any Taxes imposed
with respect to an assignment or transfer of any Loan Document or any interest
in any Loan Document (other than pursuant to the initial syndication of the
Loans) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full
amount of Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on amounts payable by any Loan Party or
Agent to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document
and Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this
Section 3.01), in each case paid by such Agent and such Lender, and (ii) any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case
whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and other than any
amounts described in clause (i) or (ii) arising as a result of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any such Agent or Lender; provided such
Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written
statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation
of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within thirty
(30) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a written demand
therefor.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be
required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to
indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as

 

   106    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to
Taxes as a result of a change in the place of organization of such Lender or
Agent, a change in the Lending Office of such Lender, or a change in the
principal office of such Lender or Agent, in each case where such change occurs
after the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a
party to this Agreement), except to the extent that any such change is requested
or required by the Borrower or to the extent that such Lender or Agent was
entitled, at the time of the change in place of organization or the change in
Lending Office, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower pursuant to
Section 3.01(a) and (c) with respect to such Taxes.

(e) If any Lender or Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith that it has received a refund in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to
it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such
refund (including any interest included in such refund paid by the relevant
taxation authority) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Lender or Agent, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon
the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to
return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to such party in the event such party is
required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or
Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the
Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the
requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority
(provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such
Lender or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere
with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever
manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or
to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in
respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would
prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs,
remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. For purposes of this
Section 3.01(e), the term “refund” shall include any credit in lieu of refund
granted by the taxing authorities imposing the relevant Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes, but only if and when such Lender or Agent realizes the credit as a
monetary benefit.

(f) Each Agent and Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving
rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a), (b) or (c) with respect to such Agent
or Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable
efforts (subject to such Agent or Lender’s overall internal policies of general
application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or reduce to the
greatest extent possible any indemnification or additional amounts being due
under this Section 3.01, including to designate another Lending Office for any
Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are
made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Agent or Lender, cause
such Agent or such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing
in this Section 3.01(f) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the
Borrower or the rights of such Agent or Lender pursuant to Sections 3.01(a),
(b) and (c). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Agent or Lender as a result of a request by the Borrower under
this Section 3.01(f).

(g) Upon the request of the Borrower, each Agent or Lender to which the Borrower
may be required to pay any additional amount or indemnity pursuant to this
Section 3.01 shall contest the imposition of any Tax giving rise to such
payment; provided that the Borrower shall reimburse such party promptly for its
reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements
incurred in so contesting the imposition of such Tax; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, no

 

   107    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

party shall be required to take any action to contest the imposition of any Tax
if such party determines, in its good faith judgment, that it would be
materially disadvantaged as a result of such action.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans
whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of
such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such
Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is
determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the
interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to
avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until
such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of
such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar
Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base
Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be
determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate
component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate
Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the
illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such
suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to
the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised
in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will
not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to
such Lender in any legal, economic or regulatory aspect.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for
any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in
connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar
Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a
determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar
Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate
component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until
the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of,

 

   108    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be
deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of
or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the
date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase
in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate
or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a
reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with
any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such
increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes and (ii) reserve
requirements reflected in the Eurodollar Rate), then from time to time within
fifteen (15) days after demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail
such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent
given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost
or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital
adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case
after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office)
therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such
Lender or any corporation Controlling such Lender as a consequence of such
Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then
from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand of such Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate
of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in
accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within ten
(10) days after receipt of demand therefor.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such
Lender will, if requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense, use
commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan
or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts would
not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, be inconsistent with the

3.05 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for calculating such compensation, the Borrower shall promptly compensate
such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense
actually incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a
Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any mandatory assignment of such Lender’s Loans (other than Base Rate Loans)
pursuant to Section 3.07 on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loans;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of
funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any such loss for
which no reasonable means of calculation exist, as set forth in Section 3.03.

3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.02, 3.03
or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any
amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date
that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such
claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is
retroactive, then such 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests
compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of
such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurodollar
Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the
event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which
case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such
suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation
so requested.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period
to another any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof,
such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base
Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such
Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by
Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until
such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer
exist:

 

   110    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that
the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise
to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this
Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such
circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by
other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be
automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest
Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so
that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding
Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal
amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitments.

3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts
or indemnity payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 or any Lender ceases to
make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in
Section 3.02 or 3.03, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any
Lender becomes a “Non-Consenting Lender” (as defined below in this
Section 3.07), then the Borrower may on one (1) Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, either (i) replace such
Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign
pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower
in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one
or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement
Lender or other such Person or (ii) terminate the applicable Commitment of such
Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other
than each L/C Issuer), repay all applicable obligations of the Borrower owing to
such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such
Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of an L/C Issuer, repay
all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such L/C Issuer relating to the Loans
and participations held by the L/C Issuers as of such termination date and
cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such L/C Issuer any Letters of
Credit issued by it.

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall
(i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations
and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the
Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption,
(A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of
the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in
L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) all Obligations relating to the Loans
and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to
such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and
(C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to
the assignee Lender of the appropriate

 

   111    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a
Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender
hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations,
except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which
shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with any such
replacement, if any such Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) does
not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment
and Assumption reflecting such replacement within one (1) Business Days of the
date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and
Assumption to such Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a), then such
Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the
part of such Lender. In connection with the replacement of any Lender pursuant
to Section 3.07(a) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts as
may be required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (i) any Lender
that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has
any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to
such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit
in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such
L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account
in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C
Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and
(ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced
hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested
the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan
Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or
amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in
accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a
certain class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such
consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such
consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall
survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

(b) None of the Borrower, or any Restricted Subsidiary is or is required to be
registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

exhibits and schedules furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders on or prior to the Closing

or delivered pursuant thereto, taken as a whole, did not contain as of the
Closing Date any material misstatement of fact and did not omit to state as of
the Closing Date any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially
misleading in their presentation of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
taken as a whole. It is understood that (a) no representation or warranty is
made concerning the forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and
statements as to anticipated future performance or conditions, and the
assumptions on which they were based or concerning any information of a general
economic nature or general information about Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’
industry, contained in any such information, reports, financial statements,
exhibits or schedules, except that, in the case of such forecasts, estimates,
pro forma information, projections and statements, as of the date such

that any particular forecast, estimate, pro forma information, projection or

covered by any such forecast, estimate, pro forma information, projection or
statement may differ significantly from the projected results and such
differences may be material.

5.15 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries is in
compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all
orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties,
except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ,

Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing
is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing, which,
either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

basis, are Solvent.

of the Borrower may be present during any such visits, discussions and
inspections.

such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale
or Casualty Event, at its option:

(i) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such
investment is in the form of the acquisition of Equity Interests of a Person,
such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Borrower), assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case used or
useful in a Similar Business;

(ii) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such
Investment is in the form of the acquisition of Equity Interests of a Person,

Proceeds in Cash Equivalents. Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or

Subsidiary elects, or is required by the terms thereof), purchase, redeem or
repay any Additional Permitted Obligations (or any Permitted Refinancing
Obligations or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of either of the
foregoing) of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary having Pari Passu Lien
Priority, or any other Indebtedness having Pari Passu Lien Priority, pursuant to

the Senior Notes or any Subordinated Indebtedness then outstanding pursuant to
the Senior Notes Indenture or any indenture, instrument, or agreements governing
the Subordinated Indebtedness or any portion thereof, unless the Borrower shall
have (i) made payment in full of the Term Loans and the Revolving

amounts then due and owing to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder
or (ii) made an offer to pay the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans (and to
terminate the related Revolving Credit Commitments and cancel, backstop or Cash
Collateralize on terms satisfactory to each L/C Issuer any Letters of Credit
issued by it) and any amounts then due and owing to each Lender and the
Administrative Agent hereunder and shall have made payment in full thereof to
(and terminated any related applicable commitment of) each such Lender or the
Administrative Agent which has accepted such offer (and to the extent the
Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and all L/C Obligations would
exceed the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments (such excess amount, the
“Overdrawn Amount”), provide to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
applicable L/C Issuers Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 103% of such
Overdrawn Amount). Upon the Borrower having made all payments of Term Loans and
Revolving Loans (and having terminated the related Revolving Credit Commitments)
and any other amounts then due and owing to any Lender required by the preceding
sentence, any Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(k) by reason of such
Change of Control shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing.

(b) (1) Amend, supplement, waive or otherwise modify any of the provisions of
the Senior Notes Indenture or any indenture, instrument or agreement evidencing
any Additional Permitted Obligations, in each case in a manner that shortens the
maturity of such Indebtedness to a date prior to the Maturity Date of the
Initial Term Loans or provides for a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity
than the Initial Term Loans and (2) if an Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) is continuing, amend, supplement, waive or otherwise
modify any of the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement
evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness in a manner that (i) changes the
subordination provisions of such Indebtedness or (ii) shortens the maturity date
of such Indebtedness to a date prior to the Maturity Date of the Initial Term
Loans or provides for a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the
Initial Term Loans; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions

(a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of
the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such
commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest

8.03 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 8.01 or 8.02, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the
requirements of the covenant set forth in Section 7.11, then (A) until the
expiration of the 10th Business Day subsequent to the date the relevant
financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.01(a)
and (b), the Borrower shall have the right to issue common equity for cash (the
“Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Cure
Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right, the
calculation of EBITDA as used in the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 shall be
recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(i) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring the covenants
set forth in Section 7.11 and not for any other purpose under this Agreement
(including but not limited to determining the availability or amount of any
covenant baskets or carve-outs or determining the Applicable Commitment Fee or
the Applicable Rate), by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; provided that
(1) the receipt by the Borrower of the Cure Amount pursuant to the Cure Right
shall be deemed to have no other effect whatsoever under this Agreement
(including but not limited to determining the availability or amount of any
covenant baskets or carve-outs or determining the Applicable Commitment Fee or
the Applicable Rate) and (2) no Cure Amount shall reduce Indebtedness on a Pro
Forma Basis for the applicable period for purposes of calculating the covenant
set forth in Section 7.11 or calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, nor
shall any Cure Amount held by any Borrower Party qualify as “unrestricted cash
or Cash Equivalents of the Borrower Parties on hand” for the purposes of
calculating any net obligations or liabilities under the terms of this
Agreement; and

(ii) If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall
then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant set forth in
Section 7.11, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of
the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 as of the relevant date of determination
with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at
such date, and the applicable breach or default of the covenant set forth in
Section 7.11 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this
Agreement; and

(B) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice, prior to the
expiration of the 10th Business Day subsequent to the date the relevant
financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 (the
“Anticipated Cure Deadline”), that the Borrower intends to exercise the Cure
Right in respect of a fiscal quarter, the Lenders shall not be permitted to
accelerate Loans held by them or to exercise remedies against the Collateral on
the basis of a failure to comply with the requirements of the covenant set forth
in Section 7.11 until such failure is not cured pursuant to the exercise of the
Cure Right on or prior to the Anticipated Cure Deadline.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four consecutive
fiscal-quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in respect of
which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) there can be no more than five
fiscal quarters in respect of which the Cure Right is exercised during the term
of the Term Facility, and (iii) for purposes of this Section 8.03, the Cure
Amount utilized shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of
complying with the covenant set forth in Section 7.11.

8.04 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in
Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and
payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash
Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions
of Sections 2.17 and 2.18, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Other
Intercreditor Agreement, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following
order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, disbursements and other
charges of counsel payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article
III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of
Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 10.05) arising
under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among
them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second
payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and
unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings,
ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, (i) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans, the L/C Borrowings and Obligations then owing under
Secured Hedge Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements and (ii) to
Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprising the aggregate
undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash
Collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.17, ratably among
the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by
them; provided that (x) any such amounts applied pursuant to the foregoing
clause (ii) shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of
the applicable L/C Issuers to Cash Collateralize such L/C Obligations,
(y) subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.17, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause Fourth
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur
and (z) upon the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the pro rata share of Cash
Collateral attributable to such expired Letter of Credit shall be distributed in
accordance with this clause Fourth;

Fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under
or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based
upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit
have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management
Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application
described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice
thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent
may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank,
as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the
Credit Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding
sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the
appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX
hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS

9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and
perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have
any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor
shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in
the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of
market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such
L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the
Agents in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered
by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed
to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit
pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in
this Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such
L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally
provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the
Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a
potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such
Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on
Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured
Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral
agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies

 

   162    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to
the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including, without
limitation, Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if
set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes
of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)
granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact
that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection
with its duties expressly set forth herein, to the extent determined in a final,
nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (b) be
responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer
thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection
or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created
under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any
other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender
or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of
any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan
Party or any Affiliate thereof.

9.04 Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or
telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and
other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such
greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance)
as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with
a request or consent of the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as
applicable, (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required
hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

 

   163    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Sections 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to
have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document
or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or
acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date
specifying its objection thereto.

9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to
defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that
such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the
Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the
Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, in accordance
with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative
Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best
interest of the Lenders.

9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender
acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or
warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any
consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan
Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation
or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter,
including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in
their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties
and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory
Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision
to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other
Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by
any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective
Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each
Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan
Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata,
and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall
be liable for the payment to any Agent-

 

   164    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent
determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in
accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or Required Revolving
Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or
willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07; provided, further, that to
the extent any L/C Issuer is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.07
solely in its capacity and role as L/C Issuer, only the Revolving Credit Lenders
shall be required to indemnify such L/C Issuer in accordance with this
Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving
rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other
Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of
counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein,
to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses
by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall
survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other
Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

9.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Any Agent and its Affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties
and their respective Affiliates as though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer
hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, an Agent or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including
information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such
Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, such
Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other
Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent or
an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include such Agent in its
individual capacity.

9.09 Successor Agents.

(a) Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, (i) upon ten
(10) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent may be removed by the Required Lenders or the Borrower if the
Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender (solely pursuant to clause (d) of
the definition thereof) and (ii) the Administrative Agent may resign as the
Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders. If the
Administrative Agent resigns or is removed under this Agreement, the Required
Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders,
which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower (which consent of
the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such successor is
a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or
any political subdivision thereof which has combined capital and reserves in
excess of $5,000,000,000) at all times other than if an Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a), (f), or (g) is continuing. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor
agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent,” shall mean such
successor administrative

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the
retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the
Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of
this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has been appointed and
accepted such appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is sixty
(60) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation,
the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon
become effective. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of
such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or
supplements to any Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to
continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the
Collateral Documents, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor or upon the expiration of the
sixty-day period following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of
resignation without a successor agent having been appointed, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

(a) Any resignation by Barclays as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 9.09 shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and as Swing
Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder or upon the expiration of the sixty-day period following the
retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation without a successor agent
having been appointed, (i) such successor (if any) shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C
Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender
shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer
(if any) shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make (or the
Borrower shall enter into) other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C
Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of
any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal

the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents
and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into
(i) the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Other
Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured

Secured Parties against any of the following:

by this Agreement) other than an Asset Sale to a Loan Party or, if not pursuant
to such sale or disposition, if such release is consented to by the Lenders
required to consent thereto under Section 10.01; and

 

   167    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii) if any Subsidiary Guarantor is designated as an Excluded Subsidiary, all
of the Collateral owned by such Subsidiary and the Equity Interests of any
Excluded Subsidiary that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(c) Each of the Lenders hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall upon the request of
the Borrower, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the
applicable Guaranty (i) if the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor are
being sold or disposed of, if such sale or disposition is permitted by this
Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction
otherwise prohibited by this Agreement), other than an Asset Sale to a Loan
Party, (ii) upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Excluded
Subsidiary or (iii) if not pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, if such release
is consented to by the Lenders required to consent thereto under Section 10.01
(including its designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary).

Without limiting the foregoing, upon request by the Administrative Agent at any
time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or
to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to
this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the
Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the
applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request
to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and
security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such
Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11; provided that the
Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that any such transaction has
been consummated in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.12 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. No Cash

consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or
impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in
such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that
other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations
arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements
unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations,
together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may
request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may
be.

9.13 Other Agents; Arranger and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons
identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a
“syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “joint lead arranger,” or “joint

or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.
Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so
identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on
any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this

9.14 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there
shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the
right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or
trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of
the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative
Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it
may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any
of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or
necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized
to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee,
administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or
administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being
referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and
collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental
Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right,
power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the
Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and
vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the
extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise
such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to
perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and
obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or
performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and
be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental
Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections
10.04 and 10.05 (obligating the Borrower to pay the Administrative Agent’s
expenses and to indemnify the Administrative Agent) that refer to the
Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental
Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent
shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such
Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower, Holdings or any other
Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by
the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or
Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by
the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a
successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed,
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental
Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be
exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new
Supplemental Administrative Agent.

signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower, and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,
however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender, or reinstate the Commitment
of any Lender after the termination of such Commitment pursuant to Section 8.02,
in each case without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood
that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver
of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction
of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any
Commitment of any Lender);

(b) postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal of, or interest on,
any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected

Loans under the Term Facility shall not constitute a postponement of any date
scheduled for the payment of principal or interest;

Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this
Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other
Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby, it being understood that any change to the definition of
Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio or in the component definitions thereof
shall not constitute a reduction in the rate; provided, however, that only the
consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of
“Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the
Default Rate;

(d) modify Section 2.13 without the written consent of each Lender directly and
adversely affected thereby;

(e) change (i) any provision of this Section 10.01, Section 2.06(c) or the

than the definitions specified in clause (ii) of this Section 10.01(e)), without
the written consent of each Lender, or (ii) the definition of “Required
Revolving Lenders,” without the written consent of each Lender under the
Revolving Credit Facility;

(f) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.09, release all or
substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related
transactions, without the written consent of each Lender;

(g) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or 7.09, release
all or substantially all of the value of the aggregate Guaranty, without the
written consent of each Lender;

(h) with respect to any Credit Extension after the Closing Date, waive any of
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 without the consent of the

   170    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lenders (it being understood and agreed that the waiver of any Default or Event
of Default effected with the requisite percentage of Lenders under the other
provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be effective to waive such Default or
Event of Default, despite the provisions of this clause (h) and following such
waiver such Default or Event of Default shall be treated as cured for all
purposes hereunder, including under Section 4.02 and this clause (h));

and provided, further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by an L/C Issuer in addition to the Borrower and the Lenders
required above, affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer, in its capacity
as such, under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to
any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition
to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line
Lender, in its capacity as such, under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent, in its capacity as such, in addition to the Lenders required above,
affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iv) Section 10.07(g) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without
the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being
funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification;
and (v) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder
waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto; provided, further,
that no amendment, modification, waiver of or consent with respect to any of the
terms and provisions (and related definitions) of Sections 7.11 shall be
effective without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders and any
such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall be effective and
binding on all Lenders with the written consent of only the Required Revolving
Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the prior written consent thereof), on
the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand. Notwithstanding anything in
Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for
purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented (or not
consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with
respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan
Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document,
(C) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent any Lender
or any Loan Party to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action)
with respect to or under any Loan Document or (D) voted on any plan of
reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code, that in each case
does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not
adversely affect such Affiliate Lender disproportionately in any material
respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliate Lenders (other than Debt Fund
Affiliates) will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as Lenders that
are not Affiliate Lenders voting on such matter. Furthermore, each Affiliate
Lender (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) hereby acknowledges, agrees and
consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant
to Title 11 of the United States Code is not deemed to have been voted as set
above, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and
(y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of Title 11 of the United States
Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable
class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of
Title 11 of the United States Code.

This Section 10.01 shall be subject to any contrary provision of Sections 2.14,
2.19 or 6.18. In addition, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
contained in this Section 10.01, (a) if the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, mistake, error, defect or
inconsistency, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision
and (b) the Administrative Agent and the

 

   171    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Borrower shall be permitted to amend any provision of any Collateral Document to
better implement the intentions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and in each case, such amendments shall become effective without any further
action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not
objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within ten (10) Business Days
following receipt of notice thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with
any “Required Lender” votes, Lenders that are Debt Fund Affiliates shall not be
permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 49.9% of the amounts
includable in determining whether the “Required Lenders” have consented to any
amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that is subject to such
vote. The voting power of each Lender that is a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be
reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the
immediately preceding sentence.

10.02 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.

II if such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving, or is unwilling to

ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY

damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of the Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Agent-Related Person have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender,
any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address,
telecopier, telephone number or electronic mail address for notices and other

or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures
and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws,

terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer,
each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs,

L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such
Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under
any other Loan Document 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, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the
Lenders and the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the

Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) each L/C
Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that

Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, shall have the
rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02
and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the

disbursements, and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and
expenses (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of
(i) one counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole, (ii) in the case of an
actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such
conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own
counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected indemnified person,
and (iii) if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which
may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and
special counsel for each relevant specialty) of any kind or nature whatsoever
which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against

reason of any of the following, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any
pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) relating
to or arising out of: (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or
administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument
delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or (b) any Commitment,
Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or any of its affiliates or Controlling persons or any of the
officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, or members of any of the
foregoing (B) the material breach of its express obligations under the Loan
Documents by such Indemnitee or its Affiliates, or (C) any dispute that is
between or among Indemnitees (other than any dispute involving claims against
the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Agent, the Swing Line Lender
or any L/C Issuer, in each case in their respective capacities as such) that a
court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final and nonappealable
judgment did not involve actions or omissions of any direct or indirect parent
or Controlling person of the Borrower, the Borrower or its subsidiaries; or
(y) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from
any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any
Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, ((x) and (y),
collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) in all cases, whether or not caused
by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the simple negligence of the
Indemnitee and regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto, and
whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders,
its affiliates, creditors or any other third person. No Indemnitee shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or
other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other information transmission
systems (including electronic telecommunications) in connection with this
Agreement unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan
Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential
damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any Letter of
Credit, or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith
(whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that such waiver of
special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages shall not limit the
indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties to the extent such special,
punitive, indirect or consequential damages are included in any third party
claim with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Section 10.05. In the case of an investigation,
litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05
applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors,
shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not
any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto. Should any investigation,
litigation or proceeding be settled, or if there is a judgment against an
Indemnitee in any such investigation, litigation or proceeding, the Borrower
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee in the manner set forth above.
The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (unless
the Borrower shall have declined to assume the defense of such proceeding), but
if settled with such consent, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each

 

   176    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indemnitee from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement.
The Borrower shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnitee is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnitee, unless such settlement (x) includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnitee, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnitee, from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to
or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of
any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable within
thirty (30) days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05
shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of
any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall
not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses,
claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

10.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the
Borrower is made to any Agent, to any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or any Agent,
any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or
the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, such L/C Issuer or such
Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication)
of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding
sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

10.07 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that, except in accordance with Section 7.04, the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each

security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f) or (iv) to an
SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment(s) and the

 

   177    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C
Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing
to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum
amount shall need be assigned, and (B) in any case not described in clause
(b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable
Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered
to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment
and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the
case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, or
$1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Facility,
unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default
under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an
Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a
single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee
Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining
whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) 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
with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause
(ii) shall not (x) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in
respect of Swing Line Loans or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a
portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro
rata basis;

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent
required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition (A) the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a),
(f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or
(2) solely in the case of an assignment of Term Loans, such assignment is to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the Borrower
shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of Term Loans unless it
shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten
(10) Business Days after having received notice thereof from the Administrative
Agent; (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to
a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (provided that the
Administrative Agent shall acknowledge any such assignment); and (C) the consent
of each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in
respect of the Revolving Credit Facility;

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500 (except, (x) in the case of contemporaneous
assignments by any Lender to one or more Approved

 

   178    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Funds, only a single processing and recording fee shall be payable for such
assignments and (y) the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect
to waive such processing and recording fee in the case of any assignment);

(v) no such assignment shall be made to (A) any Defaulting Lender or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would
constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (A), (B) a
natural person or (C) a Disqualified Lender;

(vi) no Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans may be assigned
to any Affiliate Lender and Term Loans may not be assigned to Affiliate Lenders
(other than Other Affiliates, as provided in Section 10.07(i) below); provided
that nothing in this clause (vi) shall prevent or otherwise limit the Borrower’s
rights under Section 2.05(a)(v);

(vii) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes or, in lieu thereof, a lost
note affidavit reasonably acceptable to Borrower evidencing such Loans to the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and

(viii) 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 and participations in Letters
of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided
that 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
Section 10.07(b)(viii), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be
a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment, and subject to the obligations set forth in Section 10.08).
Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the
Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this

 

   179    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) 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 Section 10.07(d).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the
Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered
to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest
amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts),
L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Agents 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. In addition, the
Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the
designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as Defaulting Lender.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and
any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other
than a natural person, an Affiliate Lender or a Person that the Administrative
Agent has identified in a notice to the Lenders as a Defaulting Lender) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing
Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such
Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05
(subject to the obligations and the limitations of such Sections and
Section 10.15) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b), provided that each
Participant shall deliver any forms and certifications required to be delivered
by it under Section 10.15 to the relevant Lender. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as
though it were a Lender, provided, such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Loan Party
shall be required to make any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05
than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of the sale of a
participation to any Participant.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if
any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to
secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any

 

   180    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge
or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as
such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any
Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to
this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment
by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting
Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if
it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is
required under Section 2.12(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that an SPC
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the
obligations and the limitations of such Sections and the obligations to provide
the forms and certifications pursuant to Section 10.15 as if it were a Lender,
to the Granting Lender); provided that neither the grant to any SPC nor the
exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or
otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05). Each
party hereto further agrees that the Granting Lender shall for all purposes,
including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any
provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. Other
than as expressly provided in this Section 10.07(g), (A) such Granting Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Granting
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Granting Lender in
connection with such Granting Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment
of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by
such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that,
prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not, other
than in respect of matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or
liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with
notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any
portion of its rights hereunder with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender
and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to
its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider
of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that
is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans
owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of
obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such
obligations or securities; provided that, unless and until such trustee actually
becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07,
(i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations
under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to
exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such
trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest
through foreclosure or otherwise.

 

   181    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may
assign all or any portion of its Term Loans, New Term Loans and Extended Term
Loans hereunder to any Other Affiliate (including any Debt Fund Affiliate), but
only if:

(i) such assignment is made pursuant to an open market purchase;

(ii) Other Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) will not receive advice
of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than Affiliated
Lenders;

(iii) the assigning Lender and Other Affiliate purchasing such Lender’s Term
Loans, New Term Loans and Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the
form of Exhibit E-2 hereto (an “Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption”) in
lieu of an Assignment and Assumption;

(iv) after giving effect to such assignment, Other Affiliates (other than Debt
Fund Affiliates) shall not, in the aggregate, own or hold Term Loans, New Term
Loans and Extended Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of
20% of the principal amount of all Loans then outstanding.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Affiliate
Lender (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall have any right to (i) attend
(including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower
are not then present or (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among
Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such
information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its
representatives.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time an
L/C Issuer assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to
Section 10.07(b), such L/C Issuer may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the
Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender, provided that,
on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such
resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall
have identified a successor L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable,
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, willing to accept its appointment as
successor L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, and the effectiveness
of such resignation shall be conditioned upon such successor assuming the rights
and duties of the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event
of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall
be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that, subject to the preceding
sentence, no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect
the resignation of such L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If
an L/C Issuer resigns, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C
Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with
respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)). If Barclays resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all
the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing
Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the

 

   182    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations
in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the
appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (A) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the
case may be, and (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer
to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letters of Credit.

(l) The applicable Lender, acting for itself and solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register on
which it enters the name and address of (i) each SPC (other than any SPC that is
treated as a disregarded entity of the Granting Lender for U.S. federal income
tax purposes) that has exercised its option pursuant to Section 10.07(g) and
(ii) each Participant, and the amount of each such SPC’s and Participant’s
interest in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (the
“Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable
rights and/or obligations of such Lender under this Agreement.

10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors, and other Affiliates (and to such Affiliates’
respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors), it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance
with the terms of this Section 10.08; (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Agent, Lender or its
respective Affiliates or in connection with any pledge or assignment permitted
under Section 10.07(f); (c) in any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or
other compulsory process or otherwise as required by applicable Laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party
to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same (or at least as restrictive) as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may
otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of
or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in,
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (g) with the written
consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (i) to any
state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization)
regulating any Lender; (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being
understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall
undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the
Loan Parties received by it from such Lender) or (k) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as
those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower), to any actual or prospective party (or its Affiliates) to any swap,
derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference
to the Borrower and the Obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder. In
addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this
Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents
and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions.
For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information
received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or its business,
other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any
Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach
of this Section 10.08 by such Lender or Agent; provided that, in the case of
information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information
is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or is delivered
pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02, or 6.03 hereof and is not publically available.
Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any Assignment and Acceptance, the provisions of this Section 10.08 shall
survive with respect to the Administrative Agent, each Co-Syndication Agent, the
Documentation Agent, each Arranger and each Lender until the second anniversary
of such Administrative Agent, Co-Syndication Agent, Arranger or Lender ceasing
to be an Administrative Agent, Co-Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent,
Arranger or Lender, respectively.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer acknowledges
that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning
the Borrower, Holdings or a Subsidiary of either, as the case may be, (ii) it
has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws.

10.09 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by
Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
each Secured Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without
prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being
waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to
the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), other than deposits
in fiduciary accounts as to which a Loan Party is acting as fiduciary for
another Person who is not a Loan Party, at any time held by, and other
Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the
account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to
such Secured Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or other Secured
Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement)), now or hereafter existing,
irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or other Secured Agreement (as
defined in the Security Agreement)) and although such Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the
applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so
set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 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 setoff.
Each Secured Party agrees promptly

 

   184    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Secured Party; provided, however, that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party under this
Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such
Secured Party may have. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan
Document to the contrary, in no event shall the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary
constitute security, or shall the proceeds of such assets be available for,
payment of the Obligations of the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary, it being
understood that (a) the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary that is
directly owned by a Domestic Subsidiary does not constitute such an asset (and
may be pledged to the extent set forth in Section 6.12) and (b) the provisions
hereof shall not limit, reduce or otherwise diminish in any respect the
Borrower’s obligations to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(ii).

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

10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed
in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or
other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document.
The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by
telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed
original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall
not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier
or other electronic transmission.

10.12 Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document,
the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of
supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any
other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each
Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties
thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but
rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01 this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures
of each of the other parties hereto.

 

   185    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and
shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Lender shall have any
Commitment hereunder, any Loan or other Obligation (other than contingent
indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and
obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured
Hedge Agreements) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, or any Letter of
Credit shall remain outstanding (other than Letters of Credit which have been
Cash Collateralized).

10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting
the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting
Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by
the Administrative Agent, the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as
applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the
extent not so limited

10.15 Tax Forms.

(a) Each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
such properly completed executed documentation and information as will permit
payments hereunder to be made without withholding, or as will permit the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the applicable rate of
withholding.

(b) (i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender and Agent
that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, prior to becoming a Lender or Agent hereunder, (x) two
duly signed, properly completed, original copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or
any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an
exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on all payments
to be made to such Foreign Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments
to be made to such Foreign Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document) or (y) two duly signed, properly completed, original copies of IRS
Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto and a certificate that establishes in
writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is
not (i) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a
10-percent shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of
Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation
related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code.
Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall promptly submit
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly signed,
properly completed, original copies of one or more of such forms and/or
certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from
time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or such other
evidence as is

 

   186    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in either case, in
its sole discretion)) as may then be presented by then current United States
laws and regulations to avoid or reduce, United States withholding taxes in
respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date
that the most recent form, certificate or other evidence previously delivered by
it to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, upon due designation of a new Lending Office) expires or becomes
obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent form, certificate or other evidence previously delivered by it to the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, due
to a designation of a new Lending Office) and (3) from time to time thereafter
if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its
own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such
Foreign Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (for
example, in the case of a typical participation by such Foreign Lender), shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such
Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or ceases to act for its own
account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at
such other times as prescribed by the last sentence of Section 10.15(b)(i) or as
may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two
duly signed, properly completed, original copies of the forms and/or
certificates required to be provided by such Foreign Lender as set forth above,
to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which
such Foreign Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United
States withholding tax or that is subject to a reduced rate of United States
withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed, properly completed, original copies of
IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such
Foreign Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or
statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Foreign
Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such
sums payable to such Foreign Lender, together with (with respect to each person
for whom the Foreign Lender is acting) two duly signed, properly completed,
original copies of the forms and/or certificates that would be required to be
provided by each such person if it were a Lender hereunder.

(iii) Barclays shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it
becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower): (i) two duly signed,
properly completed, original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, and (ii) two
duly signed, properly completed, original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect
to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others,
certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the
account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or
business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of
its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to
such payments (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat
the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person with respect to such payments as
contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury
Regulations).

 

   187    Syniverse Credit Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv) Each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any
Taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under
any of the Loan Documents.

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.15(b), a Foreign
Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
Section 10.15(b) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(c) Each Lender and Agent that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or in the case of a Participant or SPC,
to the relevant Lender) two duly signed, properly completed, original copies of
IRS Form W-9 on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it
becomes a party to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by
means of an assignment), certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an
exemption from United States backup withholding, or any successor form. If such
U.S. Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent and/or
the Borrower may withhold from any payment to such U.S. Lender an amount
equivalent to the applicable backup withholding imposed by the Code.

(d) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case
may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any
Foreign Lender or U.S. Lender (other than Non-Excluded Taxes for which the
Borrower is responsible under Section 3.01), such Foreign Lender or U.S. Lender
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower therefor. The
obligations of the Foreign Lenders or U.S. Lenders, severally, under this
Section 10.15 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent.

(e) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation and information prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation and information reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to
determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under
FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments
thereto.

HOLDINGS GUARANTY

HOLDINGS GUARANTY dated as of April 23, 2012 (this “Guaranty”) made by BUCCANEER
HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of the
Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

Syniverse Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), and the
Guarantor are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of April 23,
2012 (as may be amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented
or otherwise modified in writing from time to time in accordance with its terms,
the “Credit Agreement;” the capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise
defined herein being used herein as therein defined), among the Borrower,
Buccaneer Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Lenders from time to time
party thereto, and Barclays Bank PLC, as the Swing Line Lender, an L/C Issuer
and the Administrative Agent, and the other Agents named therein. The Guarantor
may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the Loans
under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect
benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. It is a
condition precedent to the making of Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of
Letters of Credit by the L/C Issuers under the Credit Agreement, the entry by
the Hedge Banks into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time and the entry by
the Cash Management Banks into Secured Cash Management Agreements from time to
time, that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the
Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit under the
Credit Agreement, the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements from
time to time and the Cash Management Banks to enter into Secured Cash Management
Agreements from time to time, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty. (a) The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled
maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or
otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing
under or in respect of the Loan Documents, any Secured Cash Management Agreement
or any Secured Hedge Agreement (the Loan Documents, Secured Cash Management
Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, collectively, the “Secured Documents”)
(including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions,
amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest,
premium, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or
otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to
pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of
counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in
enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Secured Document, to the
extent reimbursable under Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend
to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be
owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured

 

Buccaneer Holdings Guaranty

F-1-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Party under or in respect of the Secured Documents but for the fact that they
are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

(b) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative
Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of
all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any
Debtor Relief Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or
state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative
Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that
the Obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be
limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of the Guarantor
under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(c) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the
event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this
Guaranty or the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other guaranty with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, such amounts to each other guarantor so as to
maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of
the Secured Documents.

Section 2. Guaranty Absolute. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
the Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of the Secured Documents, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any
of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The
Obligations of the Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are
independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other
Loan Party under or in respect of the Secured Documents, and a separate action
or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this
Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or
any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined
in any such action or actions. The liability of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and
the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, any defenses (other than a defense of payment in full in cash of
the Guaranteed Obligations) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way
relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Document or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any
other Loan Party under or in respect of the Secured Documents, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Secured Document,
including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations
resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of
its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

 

Buccaneer Holdings Guaranty

F-1-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any
other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent
to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or
other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the
Secured Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or
existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any
information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or
hereafter known to such Secured Party (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the
part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any other guaranty or
agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or
surety, in each case, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of
limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any
Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for
performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or
dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations
and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure,
perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right
or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

(b) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, any right to revoke this Guaranty and
acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature (in accordance with the
terms hereof) and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or
in the future.

(c) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any defense (other than a defense of
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations) arising by reason of any
claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in
any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights
of the Guarantor or other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against any of the
other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral
and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in
respect of the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

(d) The Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, in accordance
with the Loan Documents, without notice to or demand upon the Guarantor and
without affecting the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose
under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and the Guarantor hereby waives, to the
maximum extent provided by applicable law, any defense (other than a defense of
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations) to the recovery by the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against the Guarantor of any
deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense (other than a defense of
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations) or benefits that may be
afforded by applicable law.

(e) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the
part of any Secured Party to disclose to the Guarantor any matter, fact or thing
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

(f) The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Secured
Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 4. Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire
against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that
arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s
Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Secured Document,
including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law,
including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in
cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security
on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the

recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the
transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from such payment made by the Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty.

Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made, to the extent provided in the

present or future Taxes.

warrants to the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party as follows:

(a) The representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit
Agreement as they relate to the Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which the
Guarantor is a party, each of which representations and warranties is hereby
incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects,
and the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall be entitled to
rely on each of such representations and warranties as if fully set forth
herein; provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to
the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 6, be deemed to
be a reference to the Guarantor’s knowledge; and

(b) The Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon any Secured Party
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty and each other
Secured Document to which it is or is to be a party, and the Guarantor has
established adequate means of obtaining

is now and on a continuing basis will be familiar with, the business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of
such other Loan Party in all material respects.

Section 7. Covenants. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that unless and until

Guaranty shall have been paid in full (other than (A) contingent indemnification
obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and
liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge
Agreements), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than

termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the Guarantor shall take, or shall
refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be
taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default
is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such
action by the Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Section 8. Amendments, Etc. Subject to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, no
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any
departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the

Lenders and the Guarantor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for

number or electronic mail address, as the case may be, if to the Guarantor,
addressed to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address specified in
Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, if to any Agent or any Lender, at its

shall be set forth in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 10. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.

Section 11. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the

Loans due and payable pursuant to the provisions of said Section 8.02, each
Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent or such Lender,
other than deposits held in “Exempt Deposit Accounts” (as such term is defined
in the Security Agreement), to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor
against any and all of the Obligations of the Guarantor now or hereafter
existing under the Secured Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Secured
Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or
denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or
Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender under this Section 11 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Administrative
Agent and such Lender may have.

Section 12. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect
until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts (other than (A) contingent indemnification
obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and
liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge
Agreements) payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the expiration or termination of
the Aggregate Commitments and (iii) the expiration or termination of all Letters
of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized),
(b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the
immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise
transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments,
the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and
such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect
thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and
to the extent provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor
shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Secured Parties.

Section 13. Indemnification. Without limitation of any other Obligations of the
Guarantor or remedies of the Secured Parties under this Guaranty, the Guarantor
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against (and will
reimburse each Indemnitee as the same are incurred for) any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments,
suits, costs (including settlement costs), disbursements, and reasonable and
documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of (i) one counsel to the Indemnitees
taken as a whole, (ii) in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of
interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of
such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel
for each such affected indemnified person, and (iii) if necessary, one

local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special
counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and special counsel for each relevant
specialty) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnitee in any way
relating to or arising out of or in connection with or by reason of any failure
of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid, binding obligations of any
Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.

Section 14. Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts,
liabilities and other Obligations owed to the Guarantor by each other Loan Party
(the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and
in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 14:

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Section 14(a), the Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any
other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Sections
8.01(a), (f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and
continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other
Loan Party) or the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02 of the
Credit Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, the
Guarantors shall not demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on
account of the Subordinated Obligations until all of the Guaranteed Obligations
and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full
in cash (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no
claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash
Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) or this Guaranty is
terminated and of no further force or effect.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party, the Guarantor agrees that the
Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all
Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the
commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not
constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”))
before the Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement (including
the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
relating to any other Loan Party) or the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor shall, if the Administrative
Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the
Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such
payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations
(including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements
or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any
manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guaranty, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash (other than
(A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been
asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management
Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) or this Guaranty is terminated and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of no further force or effect.

(d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) of the
Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) or the
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement, in
its discretion, the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but
without any obligation to so do), (i) in the name of the Guarantor, to collect
and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to
apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any
and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require the Guarantor (A) to
collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated
Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the
Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including
any and all Post Petition Interest), in each case, until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been
paid in full in cash (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as
to which no claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under
Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) or this
Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect.

Section 15. Execution in Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in one or
more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other
electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Guaranty shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of
this Guaranty. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents
and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be
confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, that the failure to
request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or
signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

Section 16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) THIS
GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER
APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

(b) THE GUARANTOR, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AND EACH SECURED PARTY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS FOR ITSELF
AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY TO
THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY dated as of April 23, 2012 (this “Guaranty”) made by the
Persons listed on the signature pages hereof and the Additional Guarantors (as
defined in Section 8(b)) (such Persons so listed and the Additional Guarantors
being, collectively, the “Guarantors” and, individually, each a “Guarantor”) in
favor of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to
below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

Syniverse Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) and Buccaneer
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, are parties to that certain Credit
Agreement dated as of April 23, 2012 (as may be amended, restated, amended and
restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”; the capitalized terms defined therein and not
otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined), among the
Borrower, Buccaneer Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Lenders from time
to time party thereto, and Barclays Bank PLC, as the Swing Line Lender, an L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent, and the other Agents named therein. Each
Guarantor may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the
Loans under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect
benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. It is a
condition precedent to the making of Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of
Letters of Credit by the L/C Issuers under the Credit Agreement, the entry by
the Hedge Banks into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time and the entry by
the Cash Management Banks into Secured Cash Management Agreements from time to
time, that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the
Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit under the
Credit Agreement, the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements from
time to time and the Cash Management Banks to enter into Secured Cash Management
Agreements from time to time, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each
other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled
maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or
otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing
under or in respect of the Loan Documents, any Secured Cash Management Agreement
or any Secured Hedge Agreement (the Loan Documents, Secured Cash Management
Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, collectively, the “Secured Documents”)
(including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions,
amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest,
premium, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or
otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to
pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of
counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in
enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Secured Document, to the

 

F-2-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

extent reimbursable under Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall
extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and
would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect
of the Secured Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative
Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of
all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any
Debtor Relief Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or
state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative
Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be
limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such
Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the
event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this
Guaranty or the Holdings Guaranty or any other guaranty with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and Holdings
and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the
Secured Parties under or in respect of the Secured Documents.

Section 2. Guaranty Absolute. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of the Secured Documents, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any
of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The
Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are
independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other
Loan Party under or in respect of the Secured Documents, and a separate action
or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this
Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or
any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined
in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and
each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, any defenses (other than a defense of payment in full in cash of
the Guaranteed Obligations) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way
relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Document or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any
other Loan Party under or in respect of the Secured Documents, or any other
amendment or

 

F-2-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

waiver of or any consent to departure from any Secured Document, including,
without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from
the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any
other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent
to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or
other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the
Secured Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or
existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any
information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or
hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the
part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any
Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement
or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or
surety, in each case, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of
limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any
Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance,
presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default,
acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of
the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any
Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property
subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party
or any other Person or any Collateral.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, any right to revoke this Guaranty and
acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature (in accordance with the
terms hereof) and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or
in the future.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any defense (other than a defense of
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations) arising by reason of any
claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in
any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights
of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of
the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any
Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim
against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, in accordance
with the Loan Documents, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and
without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose
under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any defense (other than a defense of
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations) to the recovery by the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any
deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense (other than a defense of
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations) or benefits that may be
afforded by applicable law.

in cash (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no
claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash
Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) or this Guaranty is

Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed

of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not constituting an
allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such
Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement (including
the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
relating to any other Loan Party) or the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor shall, if the
Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on
account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and
deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed
Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary
endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting
in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guaranty, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash (other than
(A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been
asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management
Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) or this Guaranty is terminated and of
no further force or effect.

(d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the

Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) or the
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement, in
its discretion, the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but
without any obligation to so do), (i) in the name of any Guarantor, to collect
and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to
apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any
and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require such Guarantor (A) to
collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated
Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the

Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been
paid in full in cash (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as

Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) or this
Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect.

(a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a
portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall exceed the greater of (i) the
amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor from the
Facilities and (ii) the amount which such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if
such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations
(excluding any amount thereof repaid by Borrower or any other Guarantor) in the
same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth at the date enforcement hereunder
is sought bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors at the date
enforcement hereunder is sought, then, such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by
such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the
respective net worths of such other Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder
is sought. For purposes of determining the net worth of any Guarantor in
connection with the foregoing, all guarantees of such Guarantor other than the
Guaranty and any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations will be deemed to
be enforceable and payable after the Guaranty and any other guarantee of the
Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Each Guarantor’s right of contribution under this Section 15 shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4. The provisions of this
Section 15 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Guarantor to the Agents and the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain
liable to the Agents and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by
such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor agrees to contribute, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and
each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured
Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

Section 16. Execution in Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in one or
more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other
electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Guaranty shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of
this Guaranty. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents
and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be
confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, that the failure to
request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or
signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

Section 17. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc.

(a) THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN
UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

AGENT AND EACH SECURED PARTY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS FOR ITSELF
AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY TO

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not themselves constitute Collateral and (6) uncertificated securities (clauses

Section 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, in the case of each
Grantor, the payment of all Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter
existing under the Loan Documents, any Secured Cash Management Agreement or any
Secured Hedge Agreement (the Loan Documents, Secured Cash Management Agreements
and Secured Hedge Agreements, collectively, the “Secured Documents”) (as such

the principal amount outstanding thereunder)), whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations,
interest, fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of
action, costs, expenses or otherwise (all such Obligations being the “Secured
Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement
secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of
the Secured Obligations that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party
under the Secured Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, or reorganization or similar
proceeding involving a Loan Party.

Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and
agreements included in such Grantor’s Collateral to the extent set forth therein
to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if
this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Administrative
Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of
its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the
Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under
the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this
Agreement or any other Secured Document, nor shall any Secured Party be
obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder
or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned
hereunder.

Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral.

(a) (i) All certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Interests and
(ii) all instruments representing or evidencing indebtedness from time to time
owed to any Grantor by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in an
aggregate principal amount in excess of $7,500,000 (the “Pledged Debt” and,
together with the Pledged Interests, the “Security Collateral”) shall be
delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant
hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
During the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall
have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor,
to (i) transfer to or to register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any
of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only to the
revocable rights specified in Section 11(a), (ii) exchange certificates or
instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or
instruments of smaller or larger denominations, and (iii) convert Financial
Assets credited to any Securities Account to Security Collateral consisting of
Financial Assets held directly by the Administrative Agent, and to convert
Financial

 

   G-7    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assets held directly by the Administrative Agent to Security Collateral
consisting of Financial Assets credited to any Securities Account.

(b) Promptly upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, with
respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security of a Subsidiary, such
Grantor will cause the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Administrative
Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an
authenticated record with such Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such
issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by
the Administrative Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such
authenticated record to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. During the continuation of an Event of Default, with
respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or
interest and that is not an uncertificated security, promptly upon the request
of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of
Pledged Interests that such Pledged Interests is subject to the security
interest granted hereunder.

(c) During the continuation of an Event of Default, promptly upon the request of
the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of Pledged
Debt that such Pledged Debt is subject to the security interest granted
hereunder.

Section 5. Maintaining Collateral Accounts, Electronic Chattel Paper,
Transferable Records and Letter-of-Credit Rights; Giving Notice of Commercial
Tort Claims; Letter of Credit Rights. So long as any Loan or any other
Obligation of any Loan Party under any Secured Document shall remain unpaid
(other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been
asserted and obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management
Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements), any Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized):

(a) During the continuation of an Event of Default, promptly upon the request of
the Administrative Agent, each Grantor will maintain all (i) Electronic Chattel
Paper so that the Administrative Agent has control of the Electronic Chattel
Paper in the manner specified in Section 9-105 of the UCC and (ii) all
transferable records so that the Administrative Agent has control of the
transferable records in the manner specified in Section 16 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in the jurisdiction governing such
transferable record (“UETA”);

(b) Each Grantor will give prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of any
individual Commercial Tort Claim with a claimed amount in excess of $7,500,000
that may arise after the date hereof and will promptly execute or otherwise
authenticate a supplement to this Agreement and otherwise take all necessary
action, to subject such Commercial Tort Claim to the security interest created
under this Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in Letter of Credit Rights
with a stated amount in excess of $7,500,000 to the Administrative Agent,
intends to (and hereby does) assign to the Administrative Agent its rights
(including its contingent rights) to the proceeds of all such Letter of Credit
Rights of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or assignee.

 

   G-8    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Grantor will promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
issuer of each applicable letter of credit and each nominated person (if any)
with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the proceeds thereof
pursuant to a consent agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and deliver written evidence of such consent to the
Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default, each Grantor will, promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent,
(i) notify (and such Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to
notify, upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so) the
issuer and each nominated person with respect to each of the letters of credit
that the Letter of Credit Rights have been assigned to the Administrative Agent
hereunder and any payments due or to become due in respect thereof are to be
made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee and (ii) arrange for
the Administrative Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of
credit.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents and warrants
as follows (it being understood that none of the foregoing applies to the
Excluded Property):

(a) As of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, except as otherwise
notified to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9(a), (i) such

the Intellectual Property Security Agreements with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, all actions necessary to perfect the
security interest in the Collateral of such Grantor created under this Agreement
with respect to which a Lien may be perfected by filing and recordation pursuant
to the UCC or 35 U.S.C. §261, 15 U.S.C. §1060 or 17 U.S.C. §205 shall have been

similar effect) of such Grantor, in each case without the signature of such
Grantor, and regardless of whether any particular asset described in such
financing statements falls within the scope of the UCC or the granting clause of
this Agreement. Each Grantor ratifies its authorization for the Administrative
Agent to have filed such financing statements, continuation statements or
amendments filed prior to the date hereof.

efforts to ensure that each insurance policy of such Grantor shall name the
Administrative Agent as loss payee and additional insured thereunder, in each
case in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and shall
in addition (i) provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of the
Administrative Agent and such Grantor as their interests may appear, (ii) name
such Grantor and the Administrative Agent as insured parties thereunder (without

   G-12    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

event no later than 30 days following such change and (ii) no Grantor will
change its jurisdiction of organization from that set forth in Schedule I
without (1) first giving at least 10 days (or such lesser period of time as the

notice if the Administrative Agent agrees in its reasonable discretion) to the
Administrative Agent or (2) delivery to the Administrative Agent, concurrently
with such change, a UCC financing statement or financing statement amendment
prepared for filing in order to maintain the perfection of the Liens against
such Grantor and, in each case, shall take all action required by the
Administrative Agent for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security
interest granted by this Agreement.

(b) During the continuation of an Event of Default, if Collateral of any Grantor
with an aggregate value in excess of $7,500,000 is at any time in the possession
or control of a warehouseman, bailee or agent, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent such Grantor will (i) notify such warehouseman, bailee or
agent of the security interest created hereunder, (ii) instruct such
warehouseman, bailee or agent to hold all such Collateral solely for the
Administrative Agent’s account subject only to the Administrative Agent’s
instructions, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such

possession of such Collateral for the Administrative Agent’s benefit and shall
act solely on the instructions of the Administrative Agent without the further
consent of the Grantor or any other Person, and (iv) if obtained, make such
authenticated record available to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9(c), each Grantor will
continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to

Grantor may take (and, at the Administrative Agent’s direction during the
continuation of an Event of Default, shall take) such commercially reasonable
action as such Grantor (or during the continuation of an Event of Default the
Administrative Agent) may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection
thereof; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have the right
at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to
notify the Obligors under any Accounts, of the assignment of such Accounts to
the Administrative Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all
amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the
Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such
Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Accounts, to adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as such Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights
with respect to such Accounts, including, without limitation, those set forth
set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the
notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding
sentence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor
in respect of the Accounts of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other
funds of such Grantor and shall be either (A) released to such Grantor to the
extent permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 8.04 of
the Credit Agreement and (ii) except with the consent of the Administrative
Agent, such consent

 

   G-13    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not to be unreasonably withheld, such Grantor will not adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment of any Account, release wholly or partly any
Obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon. No Grantor will permit
or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the
Accounts to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Obligor thereof except
with the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.

Section 10. As to Intellectual Property Collateral.

(a) With respect to each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, each
Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all commercially reasonable steps in the
United States, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other domestic governmental authority,
to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property
Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and
effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent,
trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included
in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without
limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to
office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office or other domestic governmental authorities, the filing of
applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8
and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation,
continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the
payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference,
reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation
proceedings, except, in each case, (A) permitted by the Loan Documents or (B) to
the extent failure to act could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect.

(b) Such Grantor shall use proper statutory notice to the extent required by
applicable Laws and commercially practical in connection with its use of its
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights that are material to the business of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Except as could not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any
act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property
Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public
domain.

(c) Except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Effect, but subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, each
Grantor shall take all commercially reasonable steps in the United States which
it or the Administrative Agent (during the continuation of an Event of Default)
deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect
each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without
limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or
provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality
of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps
necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such
consistent standards of quality, except as permitted by the Loan Documents.

(d) With respect to its United States Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights that
are issued, registered or the subject of an application, each Grantor agrees to
execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit B-1, B-2 or B-3 hereto, as applicable, or otherwise in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the

 

   G-14    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Intellectual Property Security Agreements”), for recording the security
interest granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent in such Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office and any other domestic governmental authorities necessary to
perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property
Collateral.

(e) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any
United States patent or patent application, registered trademark or service mark
or trademark or service mark application (other than “intent to use” trademark
or service mark applications) or registered copyright or copyright application
that is not, as of the Initial Borrowing Date, a part of the Intellectual
Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions
of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such
After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks and service
marks, the goodwill of the business connected therewith and symbolized thereby,
shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. Each Grantor
shall, concurrently with the delivery of financial statements under
Section 6.01(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement, execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in
the form of the relevant Intellectual Property Security Agreement, covering such
After-Acquired Intellectual Property, which shall be recorded with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other domestic
governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in
such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.

Section 11. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other
consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any
part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Grantor will not
exercise or refrain from exercising any such right in a manner prohibited by the
Credit Agreement.

(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of
such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise
prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that with
respect to any and all

(A) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in
cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or
otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security
Collateral,

(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any
Security Collateral in connection with a partial or total

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital
surplus or paid-in-surplus, and

(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or
in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,

(x) in the case of the foregoing clause (A), to the extent that any such
property is distributed in respect of any Security Collateral, such property
shall be deemed to constitute acquired property and shall be forthwith delivered
to the Administrative Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so
received (with any necessary indorsement) to the extent required by, and in
accordance with, the provisions of Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement and
(y) in the case of the foregoing clauses (B) and (C), to the extent that any
such cash is distributed in respect of any Security Collateral, such cash shall
be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to the proceeds
of an Asset Sale or other disposition of property.

(iii) The Administrative Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed
and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such
Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to
exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) Upon notice to the applicable Grantor, all rights of such Grantor (x) to
exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that
it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) shall,
upon notice to such Grantor by the Administrative Agent, cease and (y) to
receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise
be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) shall
automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Administrative Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or
refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive
and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other
distributions.

(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any
Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 11(b) shall
be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be
segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to
the Administrative Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received
(with any necessary indorsement).

Section 12. Administrative Agent as Bailee for the Grantors. In the event that
at any time, any Equity Interests owned by any Grantor and held by the
Administrative Agent constitute Excluded Property (including any such Equity
Interests constituting Pledged Interests

 

   G-16    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at the time of delivery to the Administrative Agent that later become Excluded
Property), and for so long as they constitute Excluded Property, any such Equity
Interests in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall be held by the
Administrative Agent solely as gratuitous bailee for the applicable Grantor and
such Pledged Interests will not be subject to Section 1 or any Lien or security
interest created pursuant thereto. The Administrative Agent, at the request of
the applicable Grantor, shall promptly return to such Grantor any Equity
Interests held by the Administrative Agent constituting Excluded Property.

Section 13. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact,
with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to
take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation:

(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Administrative
Agent,

(b) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of
any of the Collateral,

(c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents
and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and

(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any
of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance with the terms and
conditions of any Subject Agreement or the rights of the Administrative Agent
with respect to any of the Collateral.

Section 14. Administrative Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform
any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, after providing
notice to such Grantor of its intent to do so, but without any obligation to do
so, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of
the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by
such Grantor under Section 17.

Section 15. The Administrative Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the
Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any
such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and
the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking
action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has
or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in
its possession if

 

   G-17    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it
accords its own property.

Section 16. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:

(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available
to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC
(whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may:
(i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its
expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or
part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it
available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by
the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(ii) without notice except as specified below, but subject to pre-existing
rights and licenses, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices
or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other
terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy
any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any
part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to
effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to
such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of
the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect
of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such
Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or
performance of any provision of, the Subject Agreements, the Accounts and the
other Collateral and (B) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to
the Subject Agreements, the Accounts and the other Collateral, including,
without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor
agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to
such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which
any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall not
be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.

(b) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Subject
Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other
funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative
Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(c) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as
required by law, at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise
apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with
respect to any Deposit Account that is not an Exempt Deposit Account. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Exempt Deposit

 

   G-18    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Account” shall mean any Deposit Account owned by or in the name of a Loan Party
with respect to which such Loan Party is acting as a fiduciary for another
Person who is not a Loan Party.

(d) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and all cash
proceeds received by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in respect of any
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter
applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 17) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against,
all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the manner set forth in
Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Trademarks of
any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or
other disposition shall be included therein as may be required by applicable
Laws so that the transfer of such Trademarks could not reasonably be expected to
be determined by a Governmental Authority to be an “assignment in gross.” To
enable the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this
Section 16, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, a non-exclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such
Grantor) during the period when the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, subject, in the case of
Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of
such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use or
sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, and in
connection with such license, such Grantor shall, subject to pre-existing rights
and licenses (including confidentiality requirements), provide the
Administrative Agent or its designee with access to such Grantor’s know how and
expertise, and tangible embodiments of any such licensed Intellectual Property
Collateral.

(f) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell
all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this
Section 16, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Administrative Agent,
such Grantor will, subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, at its own
expense, use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done all such
other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Security
Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with
applicable Laws.

(g) Subject to compliance with applicable law, including the Securities Act of
1933 and the Securities Exchange Act and all rules and regulations thereunder,
the Administrative Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the
Security Collateral pursuant to this Section 16, to deliver or otherwise
disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Security Collateral: (i) any
registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments
thereto; (ii) any information and projections; and (iii) any other information
in its possession relating to such Security Collateral.

(h) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of
damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of the failure
by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in Section 16(f) above
and, consequently, agrees that Section 16(f) shall be specifically enforceable
against such Grantor.

 

   G-19    Syniverse Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 17. Expenses. Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Administrative
Agent the amount of any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket fees and expenses of its counsel that the Administrative Agent may
incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the
custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or
other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the
other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform
or observe any of the provisions hereof, in each case, in the manner and solely
to the extent set forth in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 18. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc.

(a) Subject to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, no amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor
herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, and then such
amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any

ARTICLE 2

GRANT[INSERT ONLY IF MORTGAGE IS CAPPED: ; REVOLVING LOAN]

Section 2.1 Grant. To secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness and
the full and timely performance of the Obligations, Mortgagor MORTGAGES, GRANTS,
BARGAINS, ASSIGNS, SELLS, CONVEYS and CONFIRMS, to Mortgagee the Mortgaged
Property, subject, however, only to the matters that are set forth on Exhibit B
attached hereto (the “Permitted Encumbrances”) and to Permitted Liens, TO HAVE

itself, its successors and assigns to WARRANT AND FOREVER DEFEND the title to
the Mortgaged Property unto Mortgagee.

Section 2.2 Treatment of Borrowings and Repayments. [insert only if mortgage is
capped: Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the amount of the Indebtedness may
increase and decrease from time to time as the Secured Parties advance, Borrower
repays, and the Secured Parties re-advance sums pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. For purposes of this Mortgage, so long as the balance of the
Indebtedness equals or exceeds the Secured Amount, the amount of the
Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage shall at all times equal only the Secured
Amount. Such Secured Amount represents only a portion of the first sums advanced
by the Secured Parties in respect of the Indebtedness.

Section 2.3 Reduction of Secured Amount. [insert only if mortgage is capped: The
Secured Amount shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that Borrower
repays with respect to the Indebtedness and shall not be reduced by any
intervening repayments of the Indebtedness. So long as the balance of the
Indebtedness exceeds the Secured Amount, any payments and repayments of the
Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be applied against, or to reduce, the
portion of the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage. Such payments shall
instead be deemed to reduce only such portions of the Indebtedness as are
secured by other collateral located outside of the State of [STATE].

ARTICLE 3

WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

Mortgagor warrants, represents and covenants to Mortgagee as follows:

Section 3.1 Title to Mortgaged Property and Lien of this Instrument. Mortgagor
owns the Mortgaged Property free and clear of any liens, claims or interests,
except the Permitted Encumbrances, Permitted Liens and minor defects in title
that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to
utilize such assets for their intended purposes. This Mortgage creates valid,
enforceable first priority liens and security interests against the portions of
the Mortgaged Property that may be perfected by the filing of a mortgage,
assignment of leases and rents or fixture filing in the state of [STATE], except
for Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Liens.

Section 3.2 First Lien Status. Mortgagor shall preserve the first lien and
security interest status of this Mortgage; provided that the incurrence of
Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Liens shall not be considered a failure to
preserve such first lien and security interest status. If any lien or security
interest other than a Permitted Encumbrance or a Permitted Lien is asserted
against the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall promptly take such actions
required by required by and in compliance with the Credit Agreement.

DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE

Section 5.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee’s election, exercise any or all of the
following rights, remedies and recourses:

(a) Intentionally Omitted

(b) Entry on Mortgaged Property. Enter the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive
possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto or
located thereon. If Mortgagor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and
without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, Mortgagee may invoke any legal
remedies to dispossess Mortgagor.

(c) Operation of Mortgaged Property. Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or
otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee
may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations,
additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as
Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts
collected by Mortgagee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5.7.

(d) Foreclosure and Sale. Institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of
this Mortgage by judicial action or by power of sale, in which case the
Mortgaged Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels. With
respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Mortgagor agrees
that ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be deemed commercially
reasonable. At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of
sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of
possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably
divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of
redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the
property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity
against Mortgagor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the
property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagee or
any of the Secured Parties may be a purchaser at such sale. If Mortgagee or such
other Secured Party is the highest bidder, Mortgagee or such other Secured Party
may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to
Mortgagee or such other Secured Party against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying
cash. In the event this Mortgage is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement
of the Mortgaged Property is waived.

(e) Receiver. Provided that the Loans shall have been accelerated, make
application to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such
appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of
receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and
otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by
the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.7.

rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise
available at law or in equity.

Section 5.2 Separate Sales. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more
parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may
elect. The right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be
exhausted by any one or more sales.

Section 5.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Mortgagee shall
have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and
available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be
cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or
concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the Loan Documents, or
against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole
discretion of Mortgagee, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor
shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be
construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or
recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by
Mortgagee in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan
Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of
Default.

Section 5.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Mortgagee may release,
regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or
consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any
part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way
impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest
created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their status as a first and
prior lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment
of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order
and manner as Mortgagee may elect.

Section 5.5 Waiver of Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
releases (a) all notices of any Event of Default other than any notices
specifically required to be given under any Loan Document, (b) all notices of
Mortgagee’s election to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or
recourse provided for under any Loan Document, other than any notices
specifically required to be given under any Loan Document, and (c) any right to
a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

Section 5.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Mortgagee or any other Secured
Party shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted
under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it
for any reason, Mortgagee or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, shall
have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor, Mortgagee
and the other Secured Parties shall be restored to their former positions with
respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged
Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of
Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if the right, remedy
or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment
shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Mortgagee
or any other Secured Party thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse
under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

Section 5.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents
and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or
other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the
receiver, if one is appointed) in the manner and order of preference provided
under Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.

and will, if Mortgagor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject
to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.

Section 5.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Mortgagee and each of the other Secured Parties shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of
Mortgagor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee or
any other Secured Party under this Section 5.9, or otherwise under this Mortgage
or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall, subject to any
limitations thereon contained in any Loan Document, be payable on demand and
shall bear interest from and including the date that such sum is advanced or
expense incurred, to and excluding the date of reimbursement, at the interest
rate applicable to Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) of the Credit
Agreement (provided that following an acceleration pursuant to Section 8.02 of
the Credit Agreement (including without limitation, an automatic acceleration),
interest shall accrue on such sums at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(b) of the Credit Agreement), and all such sums,
together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage.

(b) Mortgagor shall pay all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and
enforcement of this Mortgage, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of
the Indebtedness or any claim under this Mortgage, and for the curing thereof,
or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect
thereof, by litigation or otherwise.

Section 5.10 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the
remedies under this Article 5, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under
Article 6, the security interests under Article 7, nor any other remedies
afforded to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause
Mortgagee or any other Secured Party to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee
in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee or any other
Secured Party to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take
any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or
liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

ARTICLE 6

ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES

Section 6.1 Assignment. In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made
by Mortgagor in Section 2.1 of this Mortgage, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and
unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Mortgagee all of its
right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or
hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all
Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for
additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Mortgagor shall have a revocable license from Mortgagee to
exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the
right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in
the payment and performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same.
The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, and upon delivery of a notice to
Mortgagor of Mortgagee’s election to exercise its rights under this Section 6.1,
whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and without regard to waste,
adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of Mortgagor, the license
herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate; provided, however, in
the event Mortgagor, Borrower or any Loan Party is the subject of any insolvency
proceeding set forth in Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement, the expiration
and termination of the license herein granted shall be self-operative without
the need for notice or election of any kind whatsoever.

Section 6.2 Perfection Upon Recordation. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee
has taken all actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this
Mortgage Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a
valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents
arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases. Mortgagor
acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee’s
interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be present and fully perfected,
“choate” and enforced as to Mortgagor and to the extent permitted under
applicable law, all third parties, including, without limitation, any
subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States
Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure
action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the Rents,
obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.

Section 6.3 Bankruptcy Provisions. Without limitation of the absolute nature of
the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that
(a) this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of
Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this
Mortgage extends to property of Mortgagor that comprises the Mortgaged Property
and was acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all
amounts paid as Rents and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents
acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

Section 6.4 No Merger of Estates. So long as part of the Indebtedness and the
Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged, the fee and leasehold
estates to the Mortgaged Property shall not merge, but shall remain separate and
distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in Mortgagor,
Mortgagee, any tenant or any third party by purchase or otherwise.

ARTICLE 7

SECURITY AGREEMENT

Section 7.1 Security Interest. This Mortgage constitutes a “security agreement”
on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and
with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts,
Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards.
To this end, Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee a first and prior security interest
in the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property
Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance, Condemnation Awards and all other
Mortgaged Property which is personal property to secure the payment of the
Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, and agrees that Mortgagee shall
have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect
to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by
Mortgagee with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit
Accounts, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation
Awards sent to Mortgagor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the
UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor. In the event of any

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

[         ], 201[ ]

This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is furnished to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ix) of the
Credit Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2012 (as may be amended, restated,
amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing
from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Credit Agreement;” the
terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), among Syniverse
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Buccaneer Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and
Barclays Bank PLC, as the Swing Line Lender, an L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent.

I, [            ], the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower (after giving
effect to the Transaction), in that capacity only and not in my individual
capacity (and without personal liability), DO HEREBY CERTIFY on behalf of the
Borrower that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of
the Transaction (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement,
the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date
hereof):

1. The fair value of the property of the Borrower is greater than the total
amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities, of
the Borrower.

2. The present fair salable value of the assets of the Borrower is not less than
the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower
on its debts as they become absolute and matured.

3. The Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur
debts or liabilities beyond the Borrower’s ability to pay such debts and
liabilities as they mature.

4. The Borrower is not engaged in a business or a transaction, and is not about
to engage in a business or a transaction, for which the Borrower’s property
would constitute an unreasonably small capital.

5. For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability has
been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances
existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be
expected to become an actual or matured liability.

6. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, the undersigned
has (i) reviewed the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents referred to
therein and such other documents deemed relevant, (ii) reviewed the financial
statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in
Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement (the “Financial Statements”) and (iii) made
such other investigations and inquiries as the undersigned has

 

   I-1

deemed appropriate. The undersigned is familiar with the financial performance
and prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

7. The assumptions which underlie and form the basis for the representations
made in this Certificate were fair and reasonable when made and were made in
good faith and continue to be fair and reasonable as of the date hereof.

8. The undersigned confirms and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of this Certificate in
connection with the Commitments and Loans under the Credit Agreement.

Creditors represented thereby, agrees that such Junior Priority Agent and such
Junior Priority Creditors will not Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with
respect to any of the Collateral without the written consent of the Junior
Priority Representative and will not take, receive or accept any Proceeds of
Collateral (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and
between or among all Junior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself
and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby), it being understood and
agreed that the temporary deposit of Proceeds of Collateral in a Deposit Account
(as defined in Article 9 of the UCC) controlled by such Junior Priority Agent

promptly remitted to the Junior Priority Representative; provided that nothing
in this sentence shall prohibit any Junior Priority Agent from taking such

under the Senior Priority Collateral Documents of each Series of Senior Priority
Debt and in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral the
Senior Priority Representative may release the security interest of any other
Senior Priority Agent so long as the lien of each Senior Priority Agent is

Parties, solely as among such Parties and the Creditors represented thereby);
provided, however, that each Agent agrees to provide to each other such Party
copies of any notices that it is required under applicable law to deliver to any
Credit Party; provided, further, however, that any Senior Priority Agent’s
failure to provide any such copies to any other such Party shall not impair any
Senior Priority Agent’s rights hereunder or under any of the applicable Senior
Priority Documents, and any Junior Priority Agent’s failure to provide any such
copies to any other such Party shall not impair any Junior Priority Agent’s
rights hereunder or under any of the applicable Junior Priority Documents.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Agent and each Creditor
shall have any and all rights and remedies it may have as a creditor under
applicable law, (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and

each Creditor represented thereby that such Agent and each such Creditor will

Secured Party, seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific

Senior Priority Agents, each Senior Priority Agent agrees for and on behalf of
any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby that such Agent and each such

damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or
otherwise, with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by such
Person with respect to the Collateral that is consistent with the terms of this
Agreement, and none of such Persons shall be liable for any such action taken or
omitted to be taken. Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by
and between or among any Junior Priority Agents, each Junior Priority Agent
agrees for and on behalf of any Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby
that such Agent and each such Creditor will not institute any suit or other
proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any
claim against any other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor
represented thereby seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific
performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to any action taken or
omitted to be taken by such Person with respect to the Collateral that is
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and none of such Persons shall be
liable for any such action taken or omitted to be taken.

(b) Release of Liens by Junior Secured Parties. In the event of (A) any private
or public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with any
Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by or with the consent of each Senior
Priority Agent, (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any
portion of the Collateral permitted by the Senior Priority Documents, or (C) the
release of the Senior Priority Secured Parties’ Liens on all or any portion of
the Collateral, so long as such release under this clause (C) shall have been
approved by all of the requisite Senior Priority Secured Parties, in the case of
clause (C) only to the extent occurring prior to the Discharge of Senior
Priority Obligations and not in connection with a Discharge of Senior Priority
Obligations (and irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred), each
Junior Priority Agent agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior
Priority Creditors represented thereby, that (x) so long as the net cash
proceeds of any such sale, if any, described in clause (A) above are applied as
provided in Section 4.1, such sale or release will be

 

J-27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

free and clear of the Liens on such Collateral securing the Junior Priority
Obligations and (y) such Junior Priority Secured Parties’ Liens with respect to
the Collateral so sold, transferred, disposed or released shall terminate and be
automatically released without further action. In furtherance of, and subject
to, the foregoing, each Junior Priority Agent agrees that it will execute any
and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by any Senior
Priority Agent in connection therewith, so long as the net cash proceeds, if
any, from such sale described in clause (A) above of such Collateral are applied
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Agent
hereby appoints the Senior Priority Representative and any officer or duly
authorized person of the Senior Priority Representative, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power of attorney in the place and stead of such Junior Priority Agent and in

Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the Senior Priority
Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of
this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and
deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable
to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including, without limitation, any
financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or
instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable).

hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any
Junior Priority Obligation, which assets are not also subject to the Lien of
each Senior Priority Agent under the Senior Priority Documents, subject to the
Lien Priority set forth herein, then such Junior Priority Agent (or the relevant
Junior Priority Creditor) shall, without the need for any further consent of any
other Junior Priority Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in any other Junior Priority Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such
lien for the benefit of the Senior Priority Agents as security for the Senior
Priority Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and
shall promptly notify each Senior Priority Agent in writing of the existence of
such Lien.

(b) Until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, except as may be
separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable
Senior Priority Agents, each Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself
and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, hereby agrees that:

Senior Priority Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein; and

(ii) if any such Senior Priority Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach
hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any
Senior Priority Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of each

other Senior Priority Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in any other Senior Priority Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such
lien for the benefit of each other Senior Priority Agent as security for the
other Senior Priority Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms
hereof) and shall promptly notify each Senior Priority Agent in writing of the
existence of such Lien.

(c) Until the Discharge of Junior Priority Obligations, except as may be

(i) no such Junior Priority Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any
assets of any Credit Party securing any Junior Priority Obligation which assets
are not also subject to the Lien of each other Junior Priority Agent under the
Junior Priority Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein; and

(ii) if any such Junior Priority Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach
hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any
Junior Priority Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of each

Lien Priority set forth herein, then such Junior Priority Agent (or the relevant
Junior Priority Creditor) shall, without the need for any further consent of any
other Junior Priority Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in any other Junior Priority Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such
lien for the benefit of each other Junior Priority Agent as security for the
other Junior Priority Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms
hereof) and shall promptly notify each Junior Priority Agent in writing of the
existence of such Lien.

Section 2.6 Waiver of Marshalling. Until the Discharge of Senior Priority
Obligations, each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior
Priority Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees not to assert and hereby
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request,
plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling,
appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available
under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights
a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

possession, custody, or control (or in the possession, custody, or control of

held by the Secured Parties. Such Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a

pertaining to the Collateral, such Junior Priority Agent shall, upon request
from any other Agent, and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make
available to such Party such books and records for inspection and duplication or
provide to such Party copies thereof. In the event that any Senior Priority
Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the applicable Senior Priority
Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books
and records of any Senior Priority Credit Party that contain information
identifying or pertaining to the Senior Priority Collateral, such Senior
Priority Agent shall, upon request from any other Senior Priority Agent, and as
promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to such Party such
books and records for inspection and duplication or provide to such Party copies
thereof.

Section 3.4 Insurance. Proceeds of Collateral include insurance proceeds and,
therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty
insurance proceeds. The Senior Priority Representative shall be named as
additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance
policies relating to Collateral. The Senior Priority Representative shall have
the sole and exclusive right, as against any Secured Party, to adjust settlement

recoupment against any Secured Party.

Section 3.6 Actions upon Breach. If any Junior Priority Secured Party, contrary
to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against
the Credit Parties or the Collateral, the Credit Parties, with the prior written

J-31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Representative, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this
Agreement, and any Senior Priority Secured Party may intervene and interpose
such defense or plea in its own name or in the name of the Credit Parties.
Should any Junior Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way
take, or attempt or threaten to take, any action with respect to the Collateral
(including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any
remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by
this Agreement, any Senior Priority Agent (in its own name or in the name of the
Credit Parties) may obtain relief against such Junior Priority Secured Party by
injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it
being understood and agreed by each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of
itself and each Junior Priority Creditor represented thereby, that the Senior
Priority Secured Parties’ damages from such actions may be difficult to
ascertain and may be irreparable, and each Junior Priority Agent on behalf of
itself and each Junior Priority Creditor represented thereby, waives any defense
that the Senior Priority Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made
whole by the awarding of damages.

J-33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties represented thereby, hereby
agrees that all Collateral, and all Proceeds thereof, received by any Agent in
connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be applied
subject to clause (e) of this Section 4.1,

first, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of costs and expenses of each Agent,
as applicable, in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies
(other than any costs and expenses of any Junior Priority Agent in connection
with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by it in willful violation of
this Agreement),

second, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of the Senior Priority Obligations
in accordance with the Senior Priority Documents until the Discharge of Senior
Priority Obligations shall have occurred,

third, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of the Junior Priority Obligations
in accordance with the Junior Priority Documents until the Discharge of Junior
Priority Obligations shall have occurred; and

fourth, the balance, if any, to the Credit Parties or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct.

(c) Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a
secured creditor or otherwise, no Senior Priority Agent shall have any
obligation or liability to any Junior Priority Secured Party, or (except as may
be separately agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior
Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority
Creditors represented thereby) to any other Senior Priority Secured Party, in
each case regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission,
save and except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express
obligations undertaken by such Senior Priority Agent under the terms of this
Agreement. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise,
no Junior Priority Agent shall have any obligation or liability (except as may
be separately agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Junior
Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority
Creditors represented thereby) to any other Junior Priority Secured Party, in
each case regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission,
save and except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express
obligations undertaken by such Junior Priority Agent under the terms of this
Agreement.

(d) Turnover of Cash Collateral After Discharge. Upon the Discharge of Senior
Priority Obligations, each Senior Priority Agent shall deliver to the Junior
Priority Representative or shall execute such documents as the April 2012 First
Lien Borrower[, the [            ] First Lien Borrower]9 or as the Junior
Priority Representative may reasonably request to enable it to have control over
any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral still in such Senior Priority Agent’s
possession, custody or control in the same form as received with any necessary
endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. As
between any Junior Priority Agent and any other Junior Priority Agent, any such
Cash Collateral or Control Collateral held by any such Party shall be held by it
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.2.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Senior
Priority Creditors hereby agree that solely as among the Senior Priority
Creditors, (i) with respect to any Collateral for which a third party (other
than a Senior Priority Creditor) has a lien or security interest that is junior
in priority to the security interest of any Series of Senior Priority Debt but
senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any
dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Senior Priority Debt
(such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Collateral or
Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a
ratable basis solely from the Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in
respect of the Series of Senior Priority Debt with respect to which such
Impairment (as defined below) exists and (ii) the holders of each Series of
Senior Priority Debt (and not any other Series of Senior Priority Debt) shall
bear the risk of (A) any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that
(x) such Series of Senior Priority Debt is unenforceable under applicable law or
is subordinated to any other obligations (other than another Series of Senior
Priority Debt), (y) such Series of Senior Priority Debt does not have an
enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral securing any other Series
of Senior Priority Debt and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists
securing any other obligations (other than another Series of Senior Priority
Debt) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Series of Senior
Priority Debt but junior to the security interest of any other Series of Senior
Priority Debt or (B) the existence at any time of any Collateral for any other
Series of Senior Priority Debt with respect to which the holders of such Series
of Senior Priority Debt do not hold a valid and perfected security interest or
Lien at such time (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses
(A) or (B) with respect to any Series of Senior Priority Debt, an “Impairment”
of such Series of Senior Priority Debt); provided that the existence of a
maximum claim with respect to any real property subject to a mortgage which
applies to all Senior Priority Obligations shall not be deemed to be an
Impairment of any Series of Senior Priority Debt. In the event of any Impairment
with respect to any Series of Senior Priority Debt, the results of such
Impairment shall be borne solely by the holders of such Series of Senior
Priority Debt, and the rights of the holders of such Series of Senior Priority
Debt (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in
respect of such Series of Senior Priority Debt pursuant to Section 4.01(b) on a
pari passu basis with the other Series of Senior Priority Debt) set forth herein
shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment
are borne solely by the holders of the Series of Senior Priority Debt subject to
such Impairment.

Section 4.2 Specific Performance. Each Agent is hereby authorized to demand
specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not any Credit Party shall
have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, at any
time when any other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions
of this Agreement applicable to it. Each Agent, for and on behalf of itself and
the Secured Parties represented thereby, hereby irrevocably waives any defense
based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such
remedy of specific performance.

Party shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this
Agreement, and each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the
Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, hereby waives notice of
acceptance of, or proof of reliance by any Senior Priority Agent or any Senior
Priority Creditors on, this Agreement, and notice of the existence, increase,
renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or nonpayment of all or any part of the

for an extension of credit pursuant to any Senior Priority Credit Agreement or
any other Senior Priority Document, whether or not such Senior Priority Agent or
Senior Priority Creditor has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to
honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of any Junior
Priority Credit Agreement or any other Junior Priority Document (but not a
default under this Agreement) or would constitute an act, condition, or event
that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would
constitute such a default, or if any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority
Creditor otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies
under any Senior Priority Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions
hereof), no Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor shall have any
liability whatsoever to any Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor as
a result of such action, omission, or exercise, in each case so long as any such
exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Each Senior Priority Secured Party shall be entitled to manage and supervise its
loans and extensions of credit under the relevant Senior Priority Credit
Agreement and other Senior Priority Documents as it may, in its sole discretion,
deem appropriate, and may manage its loans and extensions of credit without
regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Priority Agents or Junior
Priority Creditors have in the Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set
forth in this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that no Senior Priority
Agent or Senior Priority Creditor shall incur any liability as a result of a
sale, lease, license, application, or other disposition of all or any portion of
the Collateral or Proceeds thereof pursuant to the Senior Priority Documents, in
each case so long as such disposition is conducted in accordance with provisions
of applicable law and does not breach the provisions of this Agreement.

Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

In addition, each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the
Junior Priority Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees that each Junior
Priority Collateral Document consisting of a mortgage covering any Collateral
consisting of real estate shall contain language appropriate to reflect the
subordination of such Junior Priority Collateral Documents to the Senior
Priority Documents covering such Collateral.

(d) Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or
among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, each Senior Priority Agent, for and
on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby,

Agent and any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby may, at any time and
from time to time, in their sole discretion without the consent of or notice to
any such Senior Priority Secured Party (except to the extent such notice or
consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and
without incurring any liability to any such Senior Priority Secured Party,

restructure, or otherwise modify any of the Senior Priority Documents to which
such other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented
thereby is party or beneficiary in any manner whatsoever, including, to:

(i) change the manner, place, time, or terms of payment or renew, alter or

Secured Parties hereunder, any other Junior Priority Agent and any Junior
Priority Creditors represented thereby may, at any time and from time to time,
in their sole discretion without the consent of or notice to any such Junior
Priority Secured Party (except to the extent such notice or consent is required
pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any
liability to any such Junior Priority Secured Party, amend, restate, supplement,
replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify any of
the Junior Priority Documents to which such other Junior Priority Agent or any
Junior Priority Creditor represented thereby is party or beneficiary in any
manner whatsoever, including, to:

 

J-38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) change the manner, place, time, or terms of payment or renew, alter or
increase, all or any of the Junior Priority Obligations or otherwise amend,
restate, supplement, or otherwise modify in any manner, or grant any waiver or
release with respect to, all or any part of the Junior Priority Obligations or

the refunding, replacement or refinancing transaction under any Senior Priority
Document or any Junior Priority Document) of any Senior Priority Agent, Senior
Priority Creditors, Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditors, as the
case may be, all without affecting the Lien Priorities provided for herein or
the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that (x) if the indebtedness
refunding, replacing or refinancing any such Senior Priority Obligations or
Junior Priority Obligations is to constitute Senior Priority Obligations or
Junior Priority Obligations hereunder (as designated by the April 2012 First
Lien Borrower[or the [            ] First Lien Borrower]9), as the case may be,
the holders of such indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their
behalf) shall bind themselves in writing to the terms of this Agreement pursuant
to an Additional Indebtedness Joinder and any such refunding, replacement or
refinancing transaction shall be in accordance with any applicable provisions of
the Senior Priority Documents and the Junior Priority Documents and (y) for the
avoidance of doubt, the Senior Priority Obligations and Junior Priority
Obligations may be refunded, replaced or refinanced, in whole or in part, in
each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is
required to permit the refunding, replacement or refinancing transaction under
any Senior Priority Document or any Junior Priority Document) of any Senior
Priority Agent, Senior Priority Creditors, Junior Priority Agent or Junior
Priority Creditors, as the case may be, through the incurrence of Additional
Indebtedness, subject to Section 7.11.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement. If any Senior Priority Agent or
Senior Priority Creditor is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise
to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Credit Party or any other
Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Senior
Priority Obligations (a “Senior Priority Recovery”), then the Senior Priority
Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Senior Priority Recovery.
If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Senior Priority
Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the
event of such Senior Priority Recovery, and such prior termination shall not
diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and
obligations of each Agent, each Senior Priority Creditor, and each Junior
Priority Creditor under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge,
confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or
against any Credit Party or any other circumstance which otherwise might
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in
respect of the Senior Priority Obligations or the Junior Priority Obligations.
No priority or right of any Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority
Creditor shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or
failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the
noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of
the Senior Priority Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any
Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor may have.

ARTICLE VI

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

Section 6.1 DIP Financing.

(a) If any Credit Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the
United States at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations,
and any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditors shall seek to provide
any Credit Party with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing
under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of
cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (“DIP Financing”), with
such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral
(including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy
Code would be Collateral), then each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of
itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that
(subject to the provisions of Section 6.9 hereof) it will raise no objection and
will not directly or indirectly support any objection to such DIP Financing or
to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate
protection” for the Liens of such Junior Priority Agent securing the applicable
Junior Priority Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any
adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing, except as
otherwise set forth herein), and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior
Priority Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing,
will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to (i) such DIP Financing (and all
Obligations relating thereto), (ii) any adequate protection liens provided to
the Senior Priority Creditors, and (iii) any “carve-out” for professional or
United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Priority Agent, so long as
(i) such Junior Priority Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the
applicable Junior Priority Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof
arising after the commencement of

 

J-40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the case under the Bankruptcy Code), (ii) all Liens on Collateral securing any
such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the
Senior Priority Agents and the Senior Priority Creditors securing the Senior
Priority Obligations on the Collateral and (iii) if any Senior Priority Agent
receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to
secure the Senior Priority Obligations, each Junior Priority Agent also receives
an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure
the Junior Priority Obligations (which Lien shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 6.1(b)), provided that the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent any Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority
Creditor from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any
provision or content of a plan of reorganization.

(b) All Liens granted to any Senior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Agent in
any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are
intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien
Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Relief from Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Priority
Obligations, each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the
Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees not to (i) seek relief
from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in
respect of any portion of the Collateral without each Senior Priority Agent’s
express written consent, or (ii) raise any objection and or directly or
indirectly support any objection to any motion for relief from the automatic
stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of
claims made by any Senior Priority Agent or any holder of Senior Priority
Obligations; provided, however, that no Senior Priority Agent shall seek any
relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Collateral without providing
30 days’ prior written notice to each other Party, unless such period is agreed
by each Senior Priority Agent to be modified.

Section 6.3 No Contest. Each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself
and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the
Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest (or
directly or indirectly support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by
any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor for adequate protection of
its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a)), or
(ii) any objection by any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor to
any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by such Senior
Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor that its interests in the Collateral
(unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a)) are not adequately protected (or any
other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so
long as any Liens granted to such Senior Priority Agent as adequate protection
of its interests are subject to this Agreement. Except as may be separately
otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior
Priority Agents, any Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and any
Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the
applicable Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest
(or directly or indirectly support any other Person contesting) (a) any request
by any other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented
by such other Senior Priority Agent for adequate protection of its interest in
the Collateral, or (b) any objection by such other Senior Priority Agent or any
Senior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a
claim by such other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor
represented by

 

J-41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such other Senior Priority Agent that its interests in the Collateral are not
adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to
an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such other Senior
Priority Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this
Agreement. Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and
between or among any applicable Junior Priority Agents, any Junior Priority
Agent, for and on behalf of itself and any Junior Priority Creditors represented
thereby, agrees that, prior to the applicable Discharge of Junior Priority
Obligations, none of them shall contest (or directly or indirectly support any
other Person contesting) (a) any request by any other Junior Priority Agent or
any Junior Priority Creditor represented by such other Junior Priority Agent for
adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral, or (b) any objection by
such other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor to any motion,
relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by such other Junior Priority
Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor represented by such other Junior Priority
Agent that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any
other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so
long as any Liens granted to such other Junior Priority Agent as adequate
protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Asset Sales. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.4, each
Junior Priority Agent agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior
Priority Creditors represented thereby, that it will not oppose any sale
consented to or not otherwise opposed by the Senior Priority Agents of any
Collateral pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar
provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as
(i) the Senior Priority Agent or the Senior Priority Creditors do not request in
the applicable motion to approve such sale a waiver of the rights of the Junior
Priority Creditors under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to
the Collateral and (ii) the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with
this Agreement, or if not so applied, the Liens of the Junior Priority Agent in
such Collateral shall attach to the proceeds of such disposition relative to the
Liens of the Senior Priority Creditors as its Liens in such Collateral.

Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each
Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to
the Senior Priority Collateral Documents and the Junior Priority Collateral
Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of,
among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Senior
Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from the Junior Priority
Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization
proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the
intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it
is held that the claims of the Senior Priority Secured Parties, on the one hand,
and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand, in respect of the
Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of
senior and junior secured claims), then the Secured Parties hereby acknowledge
and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes
of Senior Priority Obligation claims and Junior Priority Obligation claims
against the Credit Parties, with the effect being that, to the extent that the
aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all
claims held by the Junior Priority Secured Parties), the Senior Priority Secured
Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them
in respect of principal, prepetition interest and other claims, all amounts
owing in respect of postpetition interest, fees, and expenses, that is available

 

J-42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from the Collateral for each of the Senior Priority Secured Parties
(irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in
such Insolvency Proceeding), before any distribution is made in respect of the
claims held by the Junior Priority Secured Parties, with the Junior Priority
Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior
Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the
extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such
turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries. The foregoing
sentence is subject to any separate agreement by and between any Additional
Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional Credit Facility Creditors
represented thereby, and any other Agent, on behalf of itself and the Creditors
represented thereby, with respect to the Obligations owing to any such
Additional Agent and Additional Credit Facility Creditors.

Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be
and shall be enforceable as “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 6.7 Senior Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights of any Senior
Priority Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the other Senior
Priority Agents, the Junior Priority Agents and the Credit Parties (to the
extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective
of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Priority Document;

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any portion of the Senior Priority Obligations, or any amendment,
waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any
refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Senior Priority
Document;

(c) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security
interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment,
waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any
refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any
portion of the Senior Priority Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or
any other Credit Party; or

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Senior Priority
Obligations, or of any of the Junior Priority Agent or any Credit Party, to the
extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

Section 6.8 Junior Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights of any Junior
Priority Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Senior
Priority Agents, the other Junior Priority Agents and the Credit Parties (to the
extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective
of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Junior Priority Document;

 

J-43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any portion of the Junior Priority Obligations, or any amendment,
waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any
refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Junior Priority
Document;

(c) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security
interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or any release, amendment,
waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any
refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any
portion of the Junior Priority Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Credit
Party; or

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Junior Priority
Obligations, or of any of the Senior Priority Agent or any Credit Party, to the
extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

Section 6.9 Adequate Protection. Except to the extent expressly provided in
Section 6.1 and this Section 6.9, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the
rights of any Agent and the Secured Parties represented thereby from seeking or
requesting adequate protection with respect to their interests in the applicable
Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, including adequate protection in the
form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest, fees,
or expenses, or additional or replacement collateral, claims, or otherwise;
provided that (a) in the event that any Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of
itself or any of the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, seeks or
requests adequate protection in respect of the Junior Priority Obligations and
such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or replacement
collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute Collateral,
then each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority
Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each Senior Priority Agent shall also
be granted a senior Lien on such collateral as security for the Senior Priority
Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing the Junior Priority
Obligations shall be subordinate to any Lien on such collateral securing the
Senior Priority Obligations; (b) in the event that any Senior Priority Agent,
for or on behalf of itself or any Senior Priority Creditor represented thereby,
seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Senior Priority
Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or
replacement collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute
Collateral, then such Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the
Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each other Senior
Priority Agent shall also be granted a pari passu Lien on such collateral as
security for the Senior Priority Obligations owing to such other Senior Priority
Agent and the Senior Priority Secured Parties represented thereby, and that any
such Lien on such collateral securing such Senior Priority Obligations shall be
pari passu to each such other Lien on such collateral securing such other Senior
Priority Obligations; and (c) in the event that any Junior Priority Agent, on
behalf of itself or any of the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby,
seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Junior Priority
Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a
superpriority administrative expense claim, including a claim arising under
Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy

 

J-44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code, then each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior
Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that that each Senior Priority
Agent shall also be granted a superpriority administrative expense claim, which
shall be senior in all respects to any such superpriority administrative expense
claim granted to the Junior Priority Agent with respect to the Collateral. Each
Senior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors
represented thereby, agrees that it will not raise or directly or indirectly
support any objection to the granting of any adequate protection to any Junior
Priority Agent in the form of a junior Lien or superiority administrative
expense claim that is consistent with the terms of this Section 6.9.

Section 6.10 Reorganization Securities and Other Plan-Related Issues.

(a) If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor
secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed
pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan,
on account of claims of the Senior Priority Creditors and/or on account of
claims of the Junior Priority Creditors, then, to the extent the debt
obligations distributed on account of claims of the Senior Priority Creditors
and/or on account of claims of the Junior Priority Creditors are secured by
Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the
distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with
like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b) Each Junior Priority Agent and the other Junior Priority Creditors (whether
in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall not
propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan
of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions
of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of the Senior
Priority Agent or to the extent any such plan is proposed or supported by the
number of Senior Priority Creditors required under Section 1126(d) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

(c) Each Senior Priority Agent and the other Senior Priority Creditors (whether
in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall not
propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan
of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions
of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of each other
Senior Priority Agent.

Section 6.11 Certain Waivers.

(a) The Junior Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior
Priority Creditors, waives any claim any Junior Priority Creditor may hereafter
have against any Senior Priority Creditor arising out of the election by any
Senior Priority Creditor of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

(b) The Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Priority
Creditors, agrees that none of them shall (i) object, contest, or directly or
indirectly support any other Person objecting to or contesting, any request by
the Senior Priority Agent or any of the other Senior Priority Creditors for the
payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the Senior Priority
Agent or any other Senior Priority Creditor under Section 506(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, or (ii) assert or directly or indirectly support
any claim against

 

J-45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any Senior Priority Creditor for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of
any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar
provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

(c) So long as the Senior Priority Agent and holders of the Senior Priority
Obligations shall have received and continue to receive all accrued
post-petition Interest, default interest, premiums, fees or expenses with
respect to the Senior Priority Obligations, neither the Senior Priority Agent
nor any other holder of Senior Priority Obligations shall object to, oppose, or
challenge any claim by the Junior Priority Agent or any holder of Junior
Priority Obligations for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Junior
Priority Obligations consisting of postpetition interest, default interest,
premiums, fees, or expenses.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Rights of Subrogation. Each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf
of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that no
payment by such Junior Priority Agent or any such Junior Priority Creditor to
any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement shall entitle such Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority
Creditor to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the
Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations shall have occurred. Following the
Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, each Senior Priority Agent agrees to
execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as any Junior Priority Agent
or Junior Priority Creditor may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by
subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Senior Priority Obligations
resulting from payments to such Senior Priority Agent by such Person, so long as
all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements)
incurred in connection therewith by such Senior Priority Agent are paid by such
Person upon request for payment thereof.

Section 7.2 Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at
any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or
desirable, or that any Party may reasonably request, in order to protect any
right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable such
Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided,
however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or
distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action
referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene
any law, order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of
this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may
interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction,
without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under
this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3 Representations. The April 2012 First Lien Agent represents and
warrants to each other Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under
the April 2012 First Lien Facility Documentation to enter into, execute,
deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the
April 2012 First Lien Creditors. The [            ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent

authority

Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Party hereto, shall be
effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by each Party (except as
provided in Section 7.11 with respect to any Additional Indebtedness Joinder);
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any Senior Agents may
separately agree in writing so long as such separate agreement does not
adversely affect the rights of any other Senior Agent not party thereto. No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any
departure by any Party hereto, that changes, alters, modifies or otherwise
affects any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or obligation of, or
otherwise adversely affects in any manner, any Additional Agent that is not then
a Party, or any Additional Creditor not then represented by an Additional Agent
that is then a Party (including but not limited to any change, alteration,
modification or other effect upon any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability
or obligation of or other adverse effect upon any such Additional Agent or
Additional Creditor that may at any subsequent time become a Party or
beneficiary hereof) shall be effective unless it is consented to in writing by
the Borrower (regardless of whether any such Additional Agent or Additional
Creditor ever becomes a Party or beneficiary hereof). Any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement that would have the
effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference in any Credit Document to
this Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise
modifying such Credit Document, or any term or provision thereof, or any right
or obligation of any Credit Party thereunder or in respect thereof, in each case
in a manner adverse to such Credit Party, shall not be given such effect except
pursuant to a written instrument executed by each affected Credit Party. Any
amendment, modification or waiver of clause (b) in any of the definitions of the

and “[            ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Credit Agreement” shall not be given
effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Borrower.

of this Agreement, upon complying with the following conditions:

(i) one or more Additional Agents for one or more Additional Creditors in
respect of such Additional Indebtedness shall have executed the Additional

J-49

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) at least five Business Days (unless a shorter period is agreed in writing
by the Parties and the April 2012 First Lien Borrower) prior to delivery of the
Additional Indebtedness Joinder, the April 2012 First Lien Borrower shall have
delivered to the April 2012 First Lien Agent, the [            ]1
[First/Second]2 Lien Agent and any other Additional Agent then party to this
Agreement complete and correct copies of any Additional Credit Facility,
Additional Guaranties and Additional Collateral Documents that will govern such
Additional Indebtedness upon giving effect to such designation (which may be
unexecuted copies of Additional Documents to be executed and delivered
concurrently with the effectiveness of such designation);

(iii) the April 2012 First Lien Borrower shall have executed and delivered to
the April 2012 First Lien Agent, the [            ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent
and any other Additional Agent then party to this Agreement the Additional
Indebtedness Designation (including whether such Additional Indebtedness is
designated Senior Priority Debt or Junior Priority Debt) with respect to such
Additional Indebtedness;

(iv) all state and local stamp, recording, filing, intangible and similar taxes
or fees (if any) that are payable in connection with the inclusion of such
Additional Indebtedness under this Agreement shall have been paid and reasonable

[            ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and any other Additional Agent then

No Additional Indebtedness may be designated both Senior Priority Debt and
Junior Priority Debt.

(b) Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the preceding
Section 7.11(a), the designated Additional Indebtedness shall constitute
“Additional Indebtedness”, any Additional Credit Facility under which such
Additional Indebtedness is or may be incurred shall constitute an “Additional
Credit Facility”, any holder of such Additional Indebtedness or other applicable
Additional Creditor shall constitute an “Additional Creditor”, and any
Additional Agent for any such Additional Creditor shall constitute an
“Additional Agent” for all purposes under this Agreement. The date on which such
conditions specified in clause (a) shall have been satisfied with respect to any
Additional Indebtedness is herein called the “Additional Effective Date” with
respect to such Additional Indebtedness. Prior to the Additional Effective Date
with respect to any Additional Indebtedness, all references herein to Additional
Indebtedness shall be deemed not to take into account such Additional
Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of the April 2012 First Lien Agent,
the [            ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and each other Additional Agent
then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the basis that such
Additional Indebtedness is not then designated. On and after the Additional
Effective Date with respect to such Additional Indebtedness, all references
herein to Additional Indebtedness shall be deemed to take into account such
Additional Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of the April 2012 First
Lien Agent, the [            ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and each other
Additional Agent then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the basis
that such Additional Indebtedness is then designated.

agreements relating to any security interest in Control Collateral, Cash
Collateral, Senior Priority Common Mortgaged Collateral and Junior Priority
Common Mortgaged Collateral, and to make or consent to any filings or take any
other actions, as may be reasonably deemed by the Borrower to be necessary or
reasonably desirable for any Lien on any Collateral to secure such Additional
Indebtedness to become a valid and perfected Lien (with the priority
contemplated by the applicable Additional Indebtedness Designation delivered
pursuant to this Section 7.11 and by this Agreement), and (y) otherwise to
reasonably cooperate to effectuate a designation of Additional Indebtedness
pursuant to this Section 7.11 (including, without limitation, if requested, by
executing an acknowledgment of any Additional Indebtedness Joinder or of the
occurrence of any Additional Effective Date).

Section 7.12 Headings. The headings of the articles and sections of this
Agreement are inserted for purposes of convenience only and shall not be
construed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement and shall not invalidate the Lien Priority or the application
of Proceeds and other priorities set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.14 Attorneys’ Fees. The Parties agree that if any dispute,
arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding is brought with respect to the
enforcement of this Agreement or any provision hereof, the prevailing party in

THE OBLIGATIONS (IN WHICH CASE ANY PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM

any such circumstances. In the event any Party, in its sole discretion,
undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any
other Party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide
any such information to such other Party or any other Party on any subsequent
occasion, (b) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business
