Total Indebtedness as of the date of calculation (the “Calculation Date”) to (ii) Adjusted EBITDA of such person for the four consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding such Calculation Date for which internal financial

average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period) or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is being calculated but
prior to the Calculation Date, then the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the
same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. 
 For purposes of making the computation referred to
above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers or consolidations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such

Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation that would have required adjustment
pursuant to this 

  
 - 19 -

 
definition, then the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation had
occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation (including the Transactions) and the
amount of income or earnings relating thereto, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Borrower and shall comply with the requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X
promulgated by the Commission, except that such pro forma calculations may include operating expense reductions for such period resulting from the transaction which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized or for which substantially
all the steps necessary for realization have been taken or are reasonably expected to be taken within six months following any such transaction, including, but not limited to, the execution or termination of any contracts, the reduction of costs
related to administrative functions or the termination of any personnel, as applicable; provided that, in either case, such adjustments are set forth in an Officers’ Certificate signed by the Borrower’s chief financial officer and another
Officer which states (i) the amount of such adjustment or adjustments, (ii) that such adjustment or adjustments are based on the reasonable good faith beliefs of the Officers executing such Officers’ Certificate at the time of such
execution and (iii) that any related incurrence of Indebtedness is permitted pursuant to the Agreement. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be
calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if the related hedge has a remaining term in excess of twelve
months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease
Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such
Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have
been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate. 

“Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Maintenance Ratio” means, with respect to any person for any period, the ratio of
(i) Consolidated Total Indebtedness, minus any Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to paragraph (b)(xviii) of Clause 18.1 (Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock

internal financial statements are available.

 “Designated Preferred
Stock” means Preferred Stock of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock), that is issued for cash (other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or an employee stock ownership plan or trust

is so redeemable at the option of the holder thereof prior to such date shall be deemed to be Disqualified Stock; provided, further, however, that (x) if such Capital Stock is issued to any employee or to any plan for the benefit of employees
of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or by any such plan to such employees, such Capital Stock shall not constitute Disqualified Stock solely because it may be required to be repurchased by the Borrower in order to satisfy applicable statutory or
regulatory obligations or as a result of such employee’s termination, death or disability and (y) such Capital Stock shall 

  
 - 21 -

 
not constitute Disqualified Stock if such Capital Stock matures or is mandatorily redeemable or is redeemable at the option of the holders thereof as a result of a change of control or asset sale
so long as the relevant asset sale or change of control provisions, taken as a whole, are no more favourable in any material respect to holders of such Capital Stock than the asset sale and change of control provisions applicable to the Senior Notes
and any purchase requirement triggered thereby may not become operative until compliance with the asset sale and change of control provisions applicable to the Senior Notes (including the purchase of any Senior Notes tendered pursuant thereto);

 In
the event that the Facility (or any part thereof) is repaid other than in accordance with Clause 6.1 (Repayment), whether by voluntary prepayment, mandatory prepayment or by 

  
 - 69 -

 
acceleration, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation pursuant to Clauses 6.2 (Illegality), 6.3 (Mandatory Prepayments), 6.4 (Voluntary
Prepayments) or 21 (Events of Default)), then the Borrower shall simultaneously with such prepayment pay accrued, but unpaid, interest thereon (including interest for late payments) and all other amounts payable under this Agreement,
including but not limited to, all costs, fees, charges, indemnities and expenses and the indemnities specified in Clause 6.8 (Breakage Costs) and Clause 6.9 (Costs Incurred by and Indemnity to the Lenders and/or the French Authorities)
by the Borrower to the Finance Parties.

 Any notice of payment or prepayment given by the Borrower pursuant to this Clause 6 (Repayment and Prepayment of Principal) shall be irrevocable, shall specify the date upon which such payment or

	6.7	No other Repayments and no Reborrowing 

 The Borrower shall not repay all or any part of the Facility except at the times and in the manner expressly provided for in this Agreement and shall not be entitled to reborrow any amount repaid.

 The
Borrower shall reimburse to the Facility Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), upon demand, all costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders in relation to their funding procedures pursuant to any repayment or prepayment of the Facility (or any part

(Illegality), 6.3 (Mandatory Prepayments), 6.4 (Voluntary Prepayments) or 21 (Events of Default)), including those losses, costs and expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or reemploying deposits from
third parties in respect of funds borrowed, contracted for or utilized to fund the amount so repaid or paid, arising directly from such payment by the Borrower; provided that such demand of the Facility Agent shall be supported by a statement
certifying in reasonable detail the amount of such costs or expenses, which statement shall constitute evidence thereof and shall be conclusive and binding save for manifest error proved by the Borrower. 

 

	6.9	Costs Incurred by and Indemnity to the Lenders and/or the French Authorities 

 

	 	(a)	The Borrower acknowledges that: 

  

	 	(i)	in order to make the Facility available to the Borrower at the fixed rate, the Lenders and the French Authorities have entered into an interest make-up arrangement;

  

	 	(ii)	 in connection with such interest make-up arrangement, it is the policy of the French Authorities to enter into hedging arrangements or to cause

  
 - 70 -

	 	 
hedging arrangements to be entered into with third parties, in order to protect themselves from adverse movements in interest and exchange rates; and 

 

	 	(iii)	it is accordingly reasonable for the Lenders and the French Authorities to rely upon the continuance of the Facility made available hereunder according to its original
profile when such hedging procedure was implemented, on the assumption that all amounts of principal and interest payable by the Borrower under the Facility will be received on their due dates. 

 

	 	(b)	Accordingly, the Borrower irrevocably agrees that: 

  

	 	(i)	the Borrower shall (to the extent paid or payable by the Facility Agent or any Lender) reimburse to the Facility Agent, upon demand, all costs, expenses and indemnities
which any Lender may incur under applicable interest make-up arrangements with the French Authorities in connection with any partial or total prepayment of the Facility of whatever nature, whether voluntary or mandatory or by acceleration; pursuant
to any of the provisions of this Agreement (including Clauses 6.2 (Illegality), 6.3 (Mandatory Prepayments), 6.4 (Voluntary Prepayments) or 21 (Events of Default)); and 

 

	 	(ii)	under such arrangements, the amount of any indemnity so payable is to be determined in agreement with the French Authorities and will be calculated as specified
hereafter. 

  

	 	(c)	The amount of the indemnity payable by the Borrower under paragraph (b) of this Clause 6.9 is to be determined by taking into account the differential between the
contractual interest rate applicable to the Facility and the prevailing Market Replacement Rate for the amount of each instalment of principal to be prepaid. It will be calculated as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	each of those rate differentials will be applied to the amount of the corresponding instalment of principal to be prepaid for the period from the date of such
prepayment until the originally scheduled Repayment Date, which would have applied in the absence of such prepayment; 

  

	 	(ii)	the net present value of each corresponding amount resulting from the above calculation will be determined at the corresponding Market Replacement Rate, where:

 “Market Replacement Rate” means the average of the Quotations made by the Quoting Banks upon
demand by the French Authorities, after disregarding the highest and lowest of those quotations; 

  
 - 71 -

 “Quotation” means the fixed rate of interest quoted by one of the Quoting
Banks to enter in an interest rate swap with the French Authorities, by which such Quoting Bank would receive interest payments calculated at a floating rate based on 6-month USD LIBOR on an amount equal to one specified instalment of principal and
interest under the Facility and maturing on the Repayment Date relating thereto, and would in exchange pay the quoted fixed interest rate; 
 “Quoting Banks” means five reference banks in the relevant market, selected in agreement with the French Authorities; and 

“USD LIBOR” means, on any date on which interest shall be calculated, the annual offered rate for deposits in Dollars
for a period equal to or nearest the number of days of such Disbursement period which appears on the Reuters page LIBOR 01 as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the date 2 (two) Business Days prior to the first day of such
period; 
  

	 	(iii)	in the event the cumulative amount of such present values produces: 

  

	 	(A)	a negative number, no indemnity shall be due from the Borrower nor shall any amount be due to the Borrower; or 

 

	 	(B)	a positive number, the Facility Agent will notify the Borrower in writing the amount of the indemnity due by the Borrower before the date of the prepayment.

  

	 	(d)	The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the amounts payable under this Clause 6.9 are in addition to all amounts payable by it under Clause 6.8 (Breakage
Costs) with respect to any prepayment or any other amount payable under this Agreement. 

  
 - 72 -

	6.10	Voluntary Cancellation 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower may, at any time prior to the date of the request for the first Disbursement and upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Facility Agent, cancel the whole or part (being an integral multiple of USD 1,000,000) of the Facility. 

  

	 	(b)	The Borrower may, at any time after the date of the request for the first Disbursement cancel the whole or part (being an integral multiple of USD 1,000,000) of
the Facility with the prior written consent of the Facility Agent and of the Supplier. If such prior written consents are obtained, the cancellation will take place upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility
Agent by the Borrower. 

  

	 	(c)	The Borrower acknowledges that, in the event of a cancellation of any portion of the Facility, the arrangement fee payable pursuant to Clause 8.2 (Arrangement
fee) shall be calculated by reference to the amount of the Facility as at the Signing Date, notwithstanding such cancellation. 

  

	6.11	Closing Date 

 If the
Closing Date has not occurred on or before December 31, 2010, then all of the commitments of the Finance Parties shall be immediately and automatically cancelled and the Borrower shall ensure that all amounts outstanding under the Finance
Documents are immediately paid in full.

	 	(a)	The Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Facility at a rate equal to the sum of: 

 

	 	(i)	CIRR and the Margin and the Risk Mitigation Fee per annum (the “Interest Rate”); and 

 

	 	(ii)	Mandatory Cost, if any. 

  

	 	(b)	Interest shall: 

  

	 	(i)	accrue daily and be payable from and including the first day of each Interest Period related to each Disbursement by reference to each Interest Period related to each
Disbursement of the Facility from the date of the first Disbursement under this Agreement until repayment of the Facility in full; 

  

	 	(ii)	be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; 

  

	 	(iii)	 be calculated on the basis of amounts of principal outstanding at the beginning of each Interest Period, together with, from their respective dates,
the amount of principal outstanding of any and all Disbursements of 

  
 - 73 -

	 	 
the Facility under this Agreement made during such Interest Period, provided that interest in respect of Disbursements made 5 (five) Business Days or less before an Interest Payment Date shall be
payable on the next following Interest Payment Date. 

  

	 	(c)	Interest shall be calculated on the actual number of days elapsed and on the basis of a year of 360 days. 

 

	 	(d)	The Borrower acknowledges that the obligation to pay interest is absolute and unconditional. Interest shall be paid by the Borrower to the Facility Agent, in accordance
with this Clause 7.1 and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	7.2	Default Interest 

  

	 	(a)	If, for any reason, any sums owed by the Borrower under this Agreement, including in particular but without limitation, those concerning any payment of principal,
interest, fees or other costs or expenses, shall not have been paid on the due date, the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (on behalf of the relevant Finance Party), interest on such sum, from and including the due date up to the date of
actual payment at a rate calculated from day to day and to be determined by the Facility Agent as being (i) the Interest Rate plus (ii) two per cent (2%) and Mandatory Cost, if any. 

 

	 	(b)	Any interest accruing under this Clause 7.2 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower. 

 

	 	(c)	Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue
amount but will remain immediately due and payable. 

  

	 	(d)	Default interest shall accrue automatically without need of notification to the Borrower and is in addition, and without prejudice, to the other rights of the Finance
Parties. Neither a demand by the Facility Agent under this Clause 7.2 nor the payment by the Borrower of default interest shall constitute the grant of an extension of the due date for the overdue amount or any waiver of any Finance Party’s
rights under the Finance Documents in relation to such overdue amount. 

  

	7.3	No Waiver 

 The provisions
of Clause 7.2 (Default Interest) shall in no way constitute a waiver of any terms of payment and shall in no way prejudice or prevent any Finance Party from making any further claims or pursuing any rights or remedies provided by, or arising
out of, operation of law. 
  

	7.4	Interest Statements 

 A
statement of interest related to each Interest Period shall be dispatched by the Facility Agent promptly to the Borrower no later than 10 (ten) Business Days prior to the last day of that Interest Period. 

  
 - 74 -

	7.5	Market Disruption 

 If, at
any time before the close of business in London on a Quotation Date, one or more Lenders together representing at least 40% of the Facility determine that LIBOR does not accurately reflect their cost of funding their participation in the Facility
and so notify the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower of such event and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Clause 7.6 (Substitute Interest Period and Interest Rate) shall
apply to the Facility. 
  

	7.6	Substitute Interest Period and Interest Rate 

 If the provisions of Clause 7.5 (Market Disruption) apply to the Facility, the rate of interest applicable to each Lender’s share of the Facility during the relevant Interest Period shall
(subject to any agreement reached pursuant to Clause 7.7 (Alternative Rate)) be the rate per annum which is the higher of: 
  

	 	(a)	the sum of the Margin and the Risk Mitigation Fee and Mandatory Cost, if any and the rate per annum notified by such Lender before the last day of such Interest Period
to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to such Lender of funding, from whatever sources it may select, its share of the Facility during that Interest Period; and 

 

	 	(b)	the sum of the Interest Rate (as defined above) and Mandatory Cost, if any. 

 

	7.7	Alternative Rate 

 If:

  

	 	(a)	the provisions of Clause 7.5 (Market Disruption) apply to the Facility; or 

 

	 	(b)	by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market during any period of 3 (three) consecutive Business Days LIBOR is not available for Dollars to prime
banks in the London interbank market, 

 then if the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent
and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations with a view to agreeing a substitute basis (i) for determining the rates of interest from time to time applicable to the Facility and/or (ii) upon which the Facility may be maintained (whether
in Dollars or some other currency) thereafter and any such substitute basis that is agreed shall take effect in accordance with its terms and be binding on each party hereto. 

 

	8.	FEES 

  

	8.1	Commitment fee 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of the Lenders) a fee computed at the rate of 0.75% per annum on the undrawn portion of the Facility
for the period between the date of this Agreement and the last day of the Availability Period. 

  

	 	(b)	 The accrued commitment fee is payable on the last day of each successive period of six months which ends during the Availability Period, on the last
day of the 

  
 - 75 -

	 	 
Availability Period and, if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount of the undrawn portion of the Facility at the time the cancellation is effective. 

 

	8.2	Arrangement fee 

 The
Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of each Mandated Lead Arranger) an arrangement fee in the amount and at the times agreed in the relevant Fee Letter. 

 

	8.3	Agency fees 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) an agency fee in the amount and at the times agreed in the relevant Fee Letter.

	9.	COFACE PREMIA 

  

	9.1	Payment by the Borrower 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower shall (i) bear the cost of the COFACE Premia due to COFACE payable in respect of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the COFACE Policy in
connection with this Agreement and (ii) reimburse all such amounts to the Facility Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders. 

  

	 	(b)	The Borrower will pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of each Lender) on or before the due date for payment to COFACE thereof, as notified to the Borrower by the
Facility Agent, the COFACE Premia which is payable to COFACE. 

  

	9.2	Calculation of Premia 

  

	 	(a)	The estimated percentage rate of the COFACE Premia, as at the date of this Agreement, is set out in the COFACE Premia Letter. The Facility Agent will be notified of the
exact percentage rate used for the calculation of the COFACE Premia to be charged for the COFACE Policy at the time of the issuance of the COFACE Policy. Upon receipt of the COFACE Policy, the Facility Agent will notify the Borrower of the exact
percentage rate to be used for the calculation of the COFACE Premia. The Borrower undertakes to pay the amount of all COFACE Premia calculated by applying the percentage rate used for the calculation of the COFACE Premia to be charged for the COFACE
Policy on each Disbursement Date, it being agreed that the rate specified will be applied to the amount of any Disbursement made under Clause 3.1(a). 

  
 - 76 -

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding the above, a minimum premium of approximately EUR 1,515 or its equivalent in Dollars as at the date of this Agreement shall be paid to COFACE upon
signature of the COFACE Policy which shall remain the property of COFACE and is therefore payable in any event. 

  

	9.3	Borrower’s Payment Obligations Absolute 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower acknowledges that the obligation to pay 100% of the COFACE Premia as and when it arises is absolute and unconditional. 

 

	 	(b)	If any COFACE Premia due and payable are not financed and paid out of a particular Disbursement or in the event that the undrawn amount under the Facility is not
sufficient to finance one hundred percent (100%) of the COFACE Premia due under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay directly to the Facility Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of any such COFACE Premia not so financed.

  

	 	(c)	The COFACE Premia will not be reimbursed to the Borrower or give rise to a credit in any event, including in the event of an acceleration or a prepayment of the
Facility under this Agreement. 

  

	10.	TAX GROSS-UP AND INDEMNITIES 

 

	10.1	Tax Gross-up 

  

	 	(a)	Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. 

 

	 	(b)	The Borrower shall, promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction)
notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify
the Borrower. 

  

	 	(c)	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from such Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any
Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. 

  

	 	(d)	If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time
allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. 

  

	 	(e)	 Within 30 (thirty) calendar days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making
that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax 

  
 - 77 -

	 	 
Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority. 

 

	10.2	Tax Indemnity 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower shall (within 3 (three) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which
that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document. 

 

	 	(b)	Paragraph (a) above shall not apply with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party: 

 

	 	(i)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is
treated as resident for tax purposes; or 

  

	 	(ii)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s facility office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

 if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum
deemed to be received or receivable including for these purposes amounts paid to or on behalf of such Finance Parties pursuant to Clause 10.1 (Tax Gross-up) or this Clause 10.2) by that Finance Party or to the extent a loss, liability or cost
is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 10.1 (Tax Gross-up). 
  

	 	(c)	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has
given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to indemnify the Protected Party with respect to such claim.

  

	 	(d)	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from the Borrower under this Clause 10.2, notify the Facility Agent. 

 

	10.3	Tax Credit 

 If an Obligor
makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that: 
  

	 	(a)	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and 

 

	 	(b)	that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit with respect to such increased payment, 

  
 - 78 -

 the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines
will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor provided that, 

 

	 	(i)	any Finance Party may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Finance Party, whether to seek a Tax Credit; and 

 

	 	(ii)	if such Tax Credit is subsequently disallowed or reduced, the Obligor shall indemnify the Finance Party for such amount. 

 

	10.4	Stamp Taxes 

 The Borrower
shall pay and, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any
Finance Document. 
  

	10.5	Value Added Tax 

  

	 	(a)	All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for
VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance
Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

  

	 	(b)	Where any Party is required by any of the Finance Documents to reimburse a Finance Party in respect of any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay
and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of the group of which it is a member
for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT. 

  

	10.6	Tax and other affairs 

 No
provision of this Agreement shall interfere with the rights of any Finance Party to arrange its tax or any other affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit, nor oblige any Finance Party to disclose to Borrower or any other person any information
relating to its tax or other affairs or any computations in respect thereof. 
  

	11.	INCREASED COSTS 

  

	11.1	Increased costs 

  

	 	(a)	 Subject to Clause 11.3 (Exceptions), the Borrower shall, within 3 (three) Business Days of a demand by the Facility Agent, pay for the account

interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement.

	 	(ii)	an additional or increased cost; or 

  

	 	(iii)	a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document, 

 which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its Commitment or funding or performing its
obligations under any Finance Document. 
  

	11.2	Increased cost claims 

  

	 	(a)	A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 11.1 (Increased costs) shall notify the Facility Agent of the event giving rise to the claim,
following which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

  

	11.3	Exceptions 

 Clause 11.1
(Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is: 
  

	 	(a)	attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor and which is compensated by the Obligor in accordance with Clause 10.1 (Tax Gross-up);

  

	 	(b)	compensated for by Clause 10.2 (Tax Indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 10.2 (Tax Indemnity) but was not so compensated solely
because any of the exclusions in paragraph 10.2(b) of Clause 10.2 (Tax Indemnity) applied); 

  

	 	(c)	compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost; or 

  

	 	(d)	attributable to the willful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation. 

 

	12.	OTHER INDEMNITIES 

  

	12.1	Currency indemnity 

  

	 	(a)	If any sum due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be
converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose of: 

 

	 	(i)	making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor; 

  
 - 80 -

	 	(ii)	obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings, 

that Obligor shall as an independent obligation, within 3 (three) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that Sum
is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the
rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

	15.	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY 

 

	15.1	Guarantee and indemnity 

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally: 

 

	 	(a)	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by the Borrower of all the Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 

 

	 	(b)	undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever the Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall
immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and 

  

	 	(c)	agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary
obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of the Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by
it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 15 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the
basis of a guarantee. 

  

	15.2	Limitation on Guarantor Liability 

  

	 	(a)	Each Guarantor and each Finance Party hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee of such Guarantor shall not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the U.S. Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the U.S. Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. federal or state law to the extent applicable to any guarantee.

  

	 	(b)	Accordingly, the Finance Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will,
after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by
or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Clause 15, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

  

	15.3	Continuing guarantee 

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance
Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 
  

	15.4	Reinstatement 

 If any
discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in 

  
 - 83 -

 
whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then
the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 15 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 
  

	15.5	Waiver of defences 

 The
obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 15 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 15 (without limitation and whether
or not known to it or any Finance Party) including: 
  

	 	(a)	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person; 

 

	 	(b)	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

  

	 	(c)	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets
of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realize the full value of any security; 

 

	 	(d)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

  

	 	(e)	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other
document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security; 

 

	 	(f)	any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or

  

	 	(g)	any insolvency or similar proceedings. 

  

	15.6	Immediate recourse 

 Each
Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under
this Clause 15. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 

  
 - 84 -

	15.7	Appropriations 

 Until all
amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may: 

 

	 	(a)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of
those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and 

 

	 	(b)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 15.

  

	15.8	Deferral of Guarantors’ rights 

  

	 	(a)	Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the
Facility Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause
15: 

  

	 	(i)	to be indemnified by an Obligor; 

  

	 	(ii)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 

 

	 	(iii)	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any
other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;

of Indebtedness Incurred under this paragraph, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this paragraph, does not exceed USD 25.0 million; 

 

	 	(xix)	Indebtedness of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the Equipment Financing Agreements; 

 

	 	(xx)	Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under Capitalized Lease Obligations with respect to no more than three Satellites at any
time; and 

  

	 	(xxi)	Subordinated Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors to finance the purchase, design, lease, construction, launch, launch insurance, in orbit
insurance or improvement of one or more Satellites (other than the Spaceway 4 Satellite) following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Subordinated Indebtedness Incurred under this paragraph (xxi), when aggregated with
the principal amount of all other Subordinated Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this paragraph (xxi), does not exceed USD 200.0 million. 

 

	 	(c)	 For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the
criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in paragraphs (b)(i) through (b)(xxi) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this
covenant, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in any

  
 - 122 -

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

  

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

  

	18.2	Limitation on Restricted Payments 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower covenants and agrees with each Finance Party that, so long as the Agreement shall remain in effect (except contingent indemnification obligations) and
until the outstanding principal amount of the Facility and interest thereon, all fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Finance Document have been paid in full, unless the Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower
will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

  

	 	(i)	 declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of the Borrower’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests,

(other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower or 

  
 - 123 -

	 	 
(B) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a
Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of
securities); 

  

	 	(ii)	purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower, including in connection with any merger or
consolidation; 

  

	 	(iii)	make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment or scheduled
maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement of (A) Subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking
fund obligation, principal instalment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement and (B) Indebtedness permitted under paragraphs
18.1(b)(vii) and 18.1(b)(ix) of the second paragraph of the covenant in Clause 18.1 (Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock)); or 

 

	 	(iv)	make any Restricted Investment,

	 	(B)	immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Borrower would be permitted to Incur at least USD 1.00 of additional Indebtedness
pursuant to the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio test in the first paragraph of the covenant in Clause 18.1 (Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock); and 

 

	 	(C)	 such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries after
the Signing Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by paragraphs (b)(i), (b)(iv), (b)(vi) and (b)(vii) of the next succeeding paragraph, but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by the next succeeding paragraph), is
less than

	 	(1)	the maximum amount that the Borrower shall be entitled to distribute in any fiscal year shall be equal to the amount by which the cash in hand of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) on December 31 of the previous fiscal year exceeds the Base Amount for such previous fiscal year, where the Base Amount is equal to: 

 

	 	(I)	USD 85,000,000 for 2010; 

  

	 	(II)	USD 99,000,000 for 2011; and 

  

	 	(III)	USD 222,000,000 for 2012 and any other complete fiscal year prior to the In-Orbit Delivery of the Spaceway 4 Satellite; and 

 

	 	(2)	the Borrower has previously submitted to the Facility Agent an Officer’s Certificate confirming that, immediately after giving effect to the relevant Restricted
Payment, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) would have sufficient cash in hand in order to be able to make all future payments in connection with the acquisition and launch (including all insurance requirements)
of the Spaceway 4 Satellite. 

  

	 	(b)	Paragraphs (a)(iv)(A), (a)(iv)(B) and (a)(iv)(C) above will not prohibit: 

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	 the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests (“Retired Capital Stock”) of the Borrower or Subordinated

Borrower (collectively, including any such contributions, “Refunding Capital

Stock”) and (b) the declaration and payment of accrued dividends on the Retired Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary
of the Borrower or to an employee stock ownership plan or any trust established by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) of Refunding Capital Stock; 

 

	 	(iii)	the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds

covenant in Clause 18.1 (Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock) so long as (a) the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the
Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased,
acquired or retired plus any fees incurred in connection therewith), (b) such Indebtedness is Incurred by the Borrower or by a Guarantor in respect of refinanced Indebtedness of a Guarantor and, in each case, is fully subordinated to the COFACE
Facility Obligations, or the related guarantee, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value to the satisfaction of the Lenders,

any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or other agreement or arrangement made after June 30, 2010; provided, however, that the aggregate amounts paid under this paragraph (iv) do
not exceed USD 7.5 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a

acquisition or dividend will not increase the amount available for Restricted Payments under paragraph (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph); plus (b) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Borrower,
any Parent of the Borrower (to the extent contributed to the Borrower) or the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower after June 30, 2010; less (c) the amount of any Restricted Payments previously made pursuant to subparagraphs

increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of senior management or the Board of Directors of the Borrower, no more restrictive as a whole with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than
those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 

  

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

results in such person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower), properties or assets that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss; 

provided that in the case of paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application
of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment and, in the event such binding commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another
binding commitment within nine months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further, that any such binding commitment to invest shall be subject to only customary conditions (other than financing).

 Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds (or Event of Loss Proceeds other than Loss Proceeds referred to in
Clause 6.3 of the Agreement), the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds (or Event of Loss Proceeds other than Loss
Proceeds referred to in Clause 6.3 of the Agreement) in Cash Equivalents or Investment Grade Securities. 
 Any Net Proceeds from
any Asset Sale (or Event of Loss Proceeds other than Loss Proceeds referred to in Clause 6.3 (Mandatory Prepayments)) that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Clause 18.4(b) will be
deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds USD 15.0 million, the Borrower shall make an Asset Sale Offer (and, at the option of the Borrower, to holders of any Pari Passu
Indebtedness) to repay the maximum outstanding principal amount of the Facility (and repay or purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness) that is an integral multiple of USD 2,000 that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at par (or, in the
event such Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may
be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Agreement. The Borrower will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess
Proceeds within 10 (ten) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed USD 15.0 million as provided in Clause 18.4(c). To the extent that the aggregate principal amount outstanding in respect of the Facility (and such Pari Passu
Indebtedness) tendered for prepayment pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess 

  
 - 134 -

 
Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by the Agreement. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 

 

	 	(c)	In the event that, pursuant to this Clause 18.4, the Borrower is required to offer to each Lender to prepay its participation in the outstanding principal amount of the
Facility (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below. 

  

	 	(i)	The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Lenders and, at the option of the Borrower, to all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Asset Sale Offer will remain
open for a period of at least 20 (twenty) Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 (thirty) Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later
than 3 (three) Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Borrower will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of
the Facility and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable and practicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered for prepayment, the portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Facility and
other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. 

  

	 	(ii)	Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Borrower will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Facility Agent, who will deliver such notice to the Lenders.
The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable each Lender to tender its participation in the outstanding principal amount of the Facility for prepayment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the
terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state: 

  

	 	(A)	that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Clause 18.4 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open; 

 

	 	(B)	the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

  

	 	(C)	a statement that any Lender wishing to have its participation in the outstanding principal amount of the Facility repaid pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer must comply
with this Clause 18.4(c). 

  

	 	(iii)	 In order to accept any Asset Sale Offer, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent in writing at its address for notices contained in the Agreement
prior to noon on the Business Day prior to the last day of the Offer Period of such Lender’s election to require the Borrower to prepay all or a portion of such Lender’s participation in the outstanding principal amount of the Facility
pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer (which, in the case of any election to require less than all of such Lender’s participation in the 

  
 - 135 -

 
outstanding principal amount of the Facility to be prepaid in such Asset Sale Offer, shall be in a minimum principal amount of USD 2,000 or an integral multiple thereof) and shall specify
the amount of such Lender’s participation in the outstanding principal amount of the Facility which such Lender requests be prepaid in such Asset Sale Offer. In order to validly withdraw any election with respect to its participation in the
outstanding principal amount of the Facility (or any part thereof) in any Asset Sale Offer, the Lender holding such participation shall notify the Facility Agent in writing at its address for notices contained in the Agreement prior to noon on the
Business Day prior to the last day of the Offer Period of such Lender’s election to withdraw such participation from such Asset Sale Offer, which notification shall include a copy of such Lender’s previous notification electing to have its
participation prepaid in such Asset Sale Offer and shall state that such election is withdrawn. The Facility Agent shall from time to time, upon request by the Borrower, advise the Borrower of the amount of the outstanding principal amount of the
Facility to be prepaid pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer. 
  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower will not sell, transfer, swap or otherwise dispose any of the Satellite known as “Spaceway
3” or the Spaceway 4 Satellite (or of any other Satellite acquired in replacement of such Satellites) without the prior written consent of the Lenders, provided that: 

 

	 	(i)	in determining whether or not to give such consent, the Lenders shall, in good faith and acting reasonably, consider the impact of the proposed transaction on the
creditworthiness and business prospects of the Borrower; and 

  

	 	(ii)	should the Lenders not consent to the proposed transaction and the Borrower nonetheless wishes to consummate the proposed transaction, the Borrower shall be entitled,
prior to consummation of the proposed transaction, to voluntarily prepay all amounts owing to the Lenders under this Agreement in accordance with Clause 6.4 (Voluntary Prepayments).

or any transaction contemplated thereby; 

  

	 	(ix)	transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in

Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Facility Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency. 

 

	25.4	Distributions to the Borrower 

 The Facility Agent and the Security Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 26 (Set Off) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on

	25.5	Clawback 

  

	 	(a)	Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent or the Security Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum

	 	(b)	If the Facility Agent or the Security Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Facility Agent had not actually received that amount,
then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Facility Agent or the Security Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of
payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent or the Security Agent, calculated by it to reflect its cost of funds. 

  

	25.6	Partial Payments 

  

	 	(a)	If the Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Facility

 - 158 -

	 	(i)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Intercreditor Agent, the Documentation

	 	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due to the Finance Parties but unpaid under this Agreement;

  

	 	(iii)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and 

 

	 	(iv)	fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents. 

 

	 	(b)	The Facility Agent shall, if so directed by the Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (a)(iv) above. 

 

	 	(c)	Paragraphs (a) and (b) above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor. 

 

	25.7	No set-off by the Borrower 

All payments to be made by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any
deduction for) set-off or counterclaim. 
  

	25.8	Business Days 

  

	 	(a)	Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the
preceding Business Day (if there is not). 

  

	 	(b)	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate
payable on the original due date. 

  

	25.9	Currency of Account 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, Dollars is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from the Borrower under any Finance Document.

  

	 	(b)	Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred. 

 

	 	(c)	Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than Dollars shall be paid in that other currency. 

 

	25.10	Change of Currency 

  

	 	(a)	Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency
of that country, then: 

  
 - 159 -

	 	(i)	any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid
in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Facility Agent (after consultation with the Borrower); and 

  

	 	(ii)	any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that
currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). 

  

	 	(b)	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Facility Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Borrower)
specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the London interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency. 

 

	25.11	Disruption to Payment Systems etc. 

 If either the Facility Agent determines (in its discretion) that a Disruption Event has occurred or the Facility Agent is notified by the Borrower that a Disruption Event has occurred: 

 

	 	(a)	the Facility Agent may, and shall if requested to do so by the Borrower, consult with the Borrower with a view to agreeing with the Borrower such changes to the
operation or administration of the Facility as the Facility Agent may deem necessary in the circumstances; 

  

	 	(b)	the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to consult with the Borrower in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (a) if, in its opinion, it is not
practicable to do so in the circumstances and, in any event, shall have no obligation to agree to such changes; 

  

	 	(c)	the Facility Agent may consult with the Finance Parties in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (a) but shall not be obliged to do so if, in its opinion,
it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances; 

  

	 	(d)	any such changes agreed upon by the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon
the Parties as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 34 (Amendments and Waivers); 

 

	 	(e)	 the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or
any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of 

  
 - 160 -

 
the Facility Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Clause 25.11; and 

 

	 	(f)	the Facility Agent shall notify the Finance Parties of all changes agreed pursuant to paragraph (d) above. 

 

	25.12	Payments to the Security Agent 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document, after a notice has been given to the Borrower under Clause 21.2 (Acceleration), and at any time after any Liens created by or pursuant
to any Security Document becomes enforceable, the Security Agent may require the Borrower to pay all sums due under any Finance Document as the Security Agent or the Intercreditor Agent may direct for application in accordance with the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement. 
  

	26.	SET OFF 

 A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor regardless of the place of
payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

  

	27.	CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS 

 

	27.1	Assignments and transfer by the Obligors 

 The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents. 
  

	27.2	Additional Guarantors

shall, upon completion of all required “know your customer” (or similar) formalities in accordance with Clause 17.14 (“Know your customer” checks), deliver to the Facility Agent: 

 

	 	(a)	a duly completed and executed Accession Letter; and 

  

	 	(b)	all of the documents and other evidence listed in Clause 4.1 (Conditions Precedent to the First Disbursement) in relation to that Restricted Subsidiary that such
Restricted Subsidiary would have been required to submit had it been an Original Guarantor, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent. 

 The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders promptly upon being satisfied that it has received (in form and substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other evidence listed in
Clause 4.1 (Conditions Precedent to the First Disbursement).

 - 161 -

	28.	CHANGE TO THE LENDERS 

 

	28.1	Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to this Clause 28, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may: 

 

	 	(i)	assign any of its rights; or 

  

	 	(ii)	transfer any of its rights and obligations, 

 at any time under the Finance Documents to any other bank or financial institution with a principal branch office located within the Republic of France and eligible to the benefit of the interest make-up
mechanisms applicable to the Facility (the “New Lender”). 
  

	28.2	Conditions of Assignment or Transfer 

  

	 	(a)	The consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless: 

 

	 	(i)	the assignee or transferee is another Lender, or an Affiliate of a Lender or COFACE; or 

 

	 	(ii)	a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

  

	 	(b)	The Borrower may not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. The Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Existing Lender has
requested it, unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower within such five Business Day period. 

  

	 	(c)	If: 

  

	 	(i)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Lending Office; and 

 

	 	(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender
acting through its new Lending Office under Clause 10 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities) or Clause 11 (Increased Costs), 

 then the Borrower will be obliged to make payments to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Lending Office only to the extent it would have been obligated to make payments to the Existing Lender
or Lender acting through its previous Lending Office if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. 
  

	 	(d)	 The assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be effective until such time as
the assignment is recorded in the Register. The Facility Agent shall record an assignment or transfer of all or part of an Existing Lender’s rights and obligations

under this Agreement in the Register on behalf of the Borrower and is hereby irrevocably appointed by the Borrower for such purpose. 

 

	 	(e)	Any Lender may transfer or assign all or any part of its rights under the Finance Documents to COFACE in accordance with the COFACE Policy. 

 

	 	(f)	No such transfer or assignment shall be effective unless and until the Facility Agent’s consent has been provided in writing. 

 

	 	(g)	For the avoidance of doubt, it is specified and acknowledged by the Borrower that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict the ability for a Lender to invite
sub-participants or grant sub-participations to any entity. 

  

	28.3	Assignment or Transfer Fee 

Unless it is a Subsidiary of an Existing Lender, the New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay
to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of 4,000 US Dollars. 
  

	28.4	Limitation of Responsibility of the Finance Parties 

  

	 	(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, none of the Finance Parties makes any representation or warranty or assumes any responsibility to a New Lender for:

  

	 	(i)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any of the Finance Documents, the Security or any other documents; 

 

	 	(ii)	the financial condition of any of the Borrower or of any of the Guarantors; 

 

	 	(iii)	the performance and observance by any of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

  

	 	(iv)	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document, 

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 

 

	 	(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Finance Parties that it: 

  

	 	(i)	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each of the Borrower and of the
Guarantors and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and 

 

	 	(ii)	 will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of the Borrower and of the Guarantors and its related entities
whilst 

  
 - 163 -

	 	 
any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any commitment is in force. 

  

	 	(c)	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to: 

  

	 	(i)	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 28; or 

 

	 	(ii)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any of the Borrower or of the Guarantors of its obligations
under the Finance Documents or otherwise. 

  

	28.5	Procedure for Transfer 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 28.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer), a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below
when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after
receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate. 

 

	 	(b)	The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has
complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender. 

 

	 	(c)	On the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the
Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged
Rights and Obligations”); 

  

	 	(ii)	each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights
and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender; 

  

	 	(iii)	 the Facility Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as
they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender 

  
 - 164 -

	 	 
been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Facility Agent, the Arranger and the Existing Lender shall
each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”. 

  

	28.6	Procedure for Assignment 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 28.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer), an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph
(c) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably
practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.

  

	 	(b)	The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has
complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender. 

 

	 	(c)	On the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender the rights under the Finance Documents expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment
Agreement; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Existing Lender will be released by each Obligor and the other Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it (the “Relevant Obligations”) and
expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations. 

 

	 	(d)	Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 28.6 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the
relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 28.5 (Procedure for Transfer), to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender)
provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 28.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer). 

  
 - 165 -

	30.	CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES 

 

	30.1	Accounts 

 In any
litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in connection with a Finance Document, the entries made in the accounts maintained by a Finance Party are prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate. 

 

	30.2	Certificates and Determinations 

 Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount under any Finance Document is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

  

	30.3	Day Count Convention 

 Any
interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document will accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days or, in any case where the practice in
the London interbank market differs, in accordance with that market practice. 

  
 - 169 -

	31.	WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND DEFENCES 

 

	31.1	Independence 

 The
Borrower hereby acknowledges that its liability to pay in full any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Finance Document on the due date for payment thereof is totally independent from, and is in no way conditional upon performance by the
Launch Supplier of any of its obligations under the Launch Contract, or under any other agreement and shall not be affected in any way by reason of any claim or defence which the Borrower may have or may consider that it has against the Launch
Supplier or any other third party. 
  

	31.2	Refusal 

 The Borrower
shall not be entitled to refuse or to postpone performance of any payment and repayment or other obligation under this Agreement or any other Finance Document by reason of any claim or defence which it may have or may consider that it has against

	32.	PARTIAL INVALIDITY 

 If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability
of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired. 

 

	33.	REMEDIES AND WAIVERS 

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents
shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

	 	(ix)	the release of any Lien granted in accordance with the Security Documents or the granting of any Lien required under the terms of this Agreement,

 shall not be made without the prior consent of all the Lenders. 

 

	 	(b)	An amendment or waiver which relates to the rights or obligations of the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Intercreditor Agent, the Documentation Bank, the
Structuring Bank and/or a Mandated Lead Arranger may not be effected without the consent of the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Documentation Bank, the Structuring Bank, the Intercreditor Agent and/or the Mandated Lead Arranger (as the case

	 	(b)	The Parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

  

	 	(c)	This Clause 37 is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any
other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Finance Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions. 

  

	37.2	Service of process 

Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Obligor (other than an Obligor incorporated in England
and Wales): 
  

	 	(a)	irrevocably appoints the Process Agent as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance
Document; and 

  

	 	(b)	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. 

 

	37.3	Waiver of Immunity 

 To
the extent that the Borrower may be entitled in any jurisdiction to claim for itself or its assets immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement or any other Finance Document to which it is a party from any suit, execution,
attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process or to the extent that in any jurisdiction that immunity (whether or not claimed), may be attributed to it or its assets, the Borrower
irrevocably agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent now or in the future permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

 Exhibit 10.29 
 AMENDMENT TO 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of April 23,
2005, by and between Pradman P. Kaul (“Executive”) and Hughes Communications, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” together with Executive, the “Parties”), dated as of December 23, 2010.

 WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions of the continued employment
relationship of the Executive with the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of
Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to increase the cash severance amount payable to Executive under the Agreement upon certain severance eligible terminations and to make certain amendments required to comply
with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the conditions and mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties agree, effective as of December 23, 2010, as follows: 
 FIRST: Section 4.4(a) is amended as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	Section 4.4(a)(ii) is amended in its entirety to read as follows: the payment of a lump sum amount equal to three (3) times the sum of (x) and (y), where
(x) is the Executive’s annual Base Salary (as in effect as of the date of termination) and (y) is 100% of Base Salary, which percentage of Base Salary represents the Executive’s target bonus amount; and 

 

	 	(b)	Section 4.4(a)(iv) is amended in its entirety to read as follows: notwithstanding any payment timing provision in this Section 4.4 to the contrary, the
payment on the last day of the month following each month for which the Executive is eligible to elect COBRA continuation coverage, has elected COBRA continuation coverage and has fully paid the COBRA premium for such month, a cash amount equal to
1.5 times the COBRA premium for such month paid by the Executive; and 

  

	 	(c)	 The clause “on the
60th day following Executive’s termination”
shall be added at the end of the sentence that reads “All payments pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be made in a lump sum” and 

  

	 	(d)	The second to last clause of Section 4.4(a), beginning “PROVIDED, HOWEVER,” shall be deleted in its entirety. 

SECOND: A new Section 4.11 is added to the Agreement, as follows: 

 

	 	4.11	 Section 280G. (a) If any payment or benefit the Executive would receive under this Agreement, when combined with any other payment or
benefit the Executive 

	 	 
receives (“Payment”), would (A) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (B) but for this sentence, be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be either (1) the full amount of such Payment or (2) such lesser amount (with cash payments being reduced
before stock option compensation) as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the
Excise Tax, results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. For these purposes, the amount of federal and
state income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing shall be calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to the Executive (based upon the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the
Code at the time of termination of the Executive’s employment). 

  

	 	(b)	All determinations required to be made under this Section 4.11(b), including whether and to what extent the Payments shall be reduced and the assumptions to be
utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the nationally recognized certified public accounting firm used by the Company immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control or, if such firm declines to serve, such
other nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Executive and the Company at such
time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Executive and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations
required by this Section 4.11(b), the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good-faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and
4999 of the Code. 

 THIRD: The following amendments to the Agreement are adopted in respect of Code
Section 409A: 
  

	 	(a)	 A sentence shall be added at the end of Section 2.1(b), which reads: “In no event will Executive’s annual bonus be paid later than
March 15th of the calendar year following the
calendar year to which such annual bonus relates.” 

  

	 	(b)	 Section 4.7 shall be revised in its entirety to read: “As a condition to receiving any payments set forth in Section 4.2 through 4.5,
the Executive (or his executor) shall be required to execute and not revoke a waiver and release of claims in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B, no later than the 60th day following Executive’s termination, and, to the extent
reasonably necessary, for a 180-day period following such employment termination, shall make himself reasonably available to provide transition services and consultation to the Company, subject to his other business and personal commitments;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the level of such services 

	 	 
and consultation does not exceed 20 percent of the level of the average level services Executive provided to the Company and its Affiliates in the 36-month period preceding such termination so as
not to lose the presumption that such termination constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h).” 

 

	 	(c)	A new Section 7.15 is added, which reads as follows: “This Agreement and the payments hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to satisfy the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code, including published guidance and regulations interpreting such Section, and should be interpreted accordingly. In particular, and without limiting the preceding sentence, if the Company determines Executive is a
“specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i) and the Company’s specified employee identification policy, if any, in effect on
the date of Executive’s termination) as of date of Executive’s termination, then any payment under this Agreement that is treated as deferred compensation payable on account of Executive’s separation from service under
Section 409A of the Code shall be accumulated and paid on the date that is six months after the date of separation from service (or Executive’s death, if occurring earlier) (without interest or earnings). Further, any reference to
“termination of employment” shall mean, where applicable, a “separation from service” as set forth under Section 409A of the Code and Final Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h). In no event may Executive, directly or
indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement or otherwise which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. To the extent that any reimbursements made
pursuant to this Agreement are taxable to Executive, any such reimbursement payment due to Executive shall be paid to Executive as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the expense was incurred. The reimbursements made pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that Executive receives in one taxable year shall
not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that Executive receives in any other taxable year. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with Code Section 409A or such guidance, then the applicable
provisions of Code Section 409A shall supersede such inconsistent provision. In accordance with the foregoing, Executive shall not have a legally binding right to any distribution made to Executive in error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event will any of the Company, its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents have any liability for failure of the Agreement to satisfy Code Section 409A and none of the foregoing guarantees that the Agreement
complies with Code Section 409A.” 

 FOURTH: Section 5.2 is amended as follows: the clause
“The Executive agrees that, during his employment with the Company and for one (1) year thereafter” shall be replaced with “The Executive agrees that, during his employment with the Company and for three (3) years

 
thereafter or such lesser period of time for which payments are actually made pursuant to Section 4.4(a)” 
 FIFTH: Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all other terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified in all respects. 

[SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS] 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment to the Agreement has been executed by the Parties
as of the date first set forth above.
