     (vi) (x) except as to interest rates, amortization and final maturity date
(which shall, subject to subclauses (y) and (z) below, be determined by the Borrower
and the Incremental Term Lenders in their sole discretion, with, in the case of the

- 21 -

Tranche 2 Term Loans, (y) the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loan
shall be no earlier that the Tranche 2 Term Loan Maturity Date and (z) the weighted
average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loan shall be no shorter than the
remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche 2 Term Loans;
provided that if any Incremental Term Loan shall have the same interest
rate, amortization and final maturity date as the existing Tranche 2 Term Loans at
the time such Incremental Term Loan is made, such Incremental Term Loan shall be
treated as a Tranche 2 Term Loan for all purposes of this Agreement.

     Each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (and the increase of, or the undertaking
of, any Revolving Credit Sub-Commitment of each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender
resulting therefrom) or each Incremental Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, shall
become effective as of the relevant Incremental Loan Effective Date upon receipt by the
Administrative Agent, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Incremental
Loan Effective Date, of (A) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower
stating that the conditions with respect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or
Incremental Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, under this paragraph have been satisfied
and (B) an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, which shall provide for such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment
and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Incremental Lender and the other relevant
terms relating thereto, duly executed by each Incremental Lender and the Borrower and
acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and customary legal opinions or other documents
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.

     With respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Incremental Term Loan
Commitment, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such agreement executed by such
parties, together with the other documentation contemplated above, and subject to the
foregoing terms and conditions, on the relevant Loan Effective Date each Incremental Lender
shall become a Lender hereunder with an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or
Incremental Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall record
the information contained in such agreement in the Register and give prompt notice thereof
to the Borrower and the Lenders.

     On the Incremental Loan Effective Date for an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment,
(i) in the event Syndicated Revolving Credit Loans are then outstanding under the Revolving
Credit Sub-Commitment of any Tranche that is being increased, (x) each relevant Incremental
Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in
immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of
the other relevant Revolving Credit Lenders under such Revolving Credit Sub-Commitment of
such Tranche, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and
the application of such amounts to make payments to such other Revolving Credit Lenders, the
Syndicated Revolving Credit Loans to be held ratably by all Revolving Credit Lenders under
such Revolving Credit Sub-Commitment of such Tranche in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Sub-Commitments of such Tranche, (y) the Borrower shall be deemed to have
prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Syndicated Revolving Credit Loans under such
Revolving Credit Sub-Commitment of such Tranche as of such Incremental Loan Effective Date
(with such borrowing to consist of the Type of Revolving Credit Loans, with related Interest
Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with
the requirements of Section 2.03) and (z) the Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Credit
Lenders under such Revolving Credit Sub-Commitment of such Tranche the amounts, if any,
payable under Section 2.14 as a result of such prepayment; and (ii) the

 

- 22 -

participations hereunder in Swingline Loans and/or Letters of Credit then outstanding
held by the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the addition
of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment.

     On the Incremental Loan Effective Date (or such other date provided above for in the
relevant agreement referred to above) for an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, each relevant
Incremental Term Lender shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in the amount of
such Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section and otherwise in accordance
with this Agreement; provided that, if such Incremental Term Loan shall be treated
as a Tranche 2 Term Loan pursuant to clause (vi) above, such Incremental Term Loan shall
consist proportionately of the same Type of Term Loans as the then outstanding Tranche 2
Term Loans and, in the case of Eurocurrency Term Loans, having an Interest Period or
Interest Periods ending on the last day(s) of the Interest Period(s) for such outstanding
Tranche 2 Term Loans.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Lender be
obligated to increase its Commitment hereunder.”

Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     “SECTION 5.08. Use of Loan Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of

Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, in the case of Borrowings as of the Amendment No.
3 Effective Date, to pay fees, expenses and other amounts owing by the Borrower in respect
of Amendment No. 3 and the transactions contemplated thereby occurring as of the Amendment

Lenders party to this Amendment hereby agree that, effective upon the Amendment No. 3 Effective
Date (and notwithstanding that the Released Subsidiaries shall have executed this Amendment in
connection with the Convertible Notes Amendments Effective Date), (a) each Released Subsidiary
shall be irrevocably released from any and all of its obligations under the Credit Agreement, the
Security Documents and any other Loan Documents theretofore executed by such Released Subsidiary in
connection with the Credit Agreement, which obligations shall be deemed to be terminated, and (b)
all Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by each Released

cease to be party to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Released
Subsidiary was originally a party and each Released Subsidiary shall have no further rights or
obligations thereunder (except to the extent any such obligations are expressly stated to survive
such release and termination). The Lenders authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to, and the
Collateral Agent shall, as promptly as practicable, in each case, at the expense of the Borrower,
(i) deliver to the Borrower all Collateral relating to or given by each Released Subsidiary in the
possession or control of the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, all original stock
certificates, membership interests certificates and corresponding stock powers or other instruments
of transfer and instruments constituting, evidencing or relating to such Collateral and (ii) upon
the reasonable request of any Released Subsidiary or the Borrower, execute or authenticate and

the Collateral Agent, including without limitation, as applicable, such UCC-3 termination
statements and other documents, as applicable.

Effective Date that if at any time thereafter the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall
transfer the Equity Interests of a First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary that have been pledged pursuant to
the Security Documents to another Foreign Subsidiary in accordance with the Credit Agreement, then,
effective as of such transfer, such pledged Equity Interests shall constitute Excluded Equity
Interests for purposes of the Credit Agreement and the relevant Security Documents and the Liens on
such pledged Equity Interests shall be irrevocably released and terminated. The Lenders authorize
and direct the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent shall, as promptly as practicable, in
each case, at the expense of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower, as promptly as practicable
following written notice to the Collateral Agent of such transfer, all original stock certificates,
membership interests certificates and corresponding stock powers or other instruments of transfer
and instruments constituting, evidencing or relating to such pledged Equity Interests in the
possession of the Collateral Agent and, upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, execute or
authenticate and deliver such releases, documents or instruments as may be necessary to evidence
such release and termination, without any recourse or warranty or representation whatsoever.

Amendment by signing any such counterpart. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Schedule 1

Released Subsidiaries

1. Sierra International Inc.

2. Telair International Incorporated

3. TFX Marine Incorporatedexv10w2

Payment Blockage Notice received by it to the Company and the Company shall promptly deliver such
copy to all holders of Designated Senior Debt. If the holders of a majority in principal amount of
all Designated Senior Debt outstanding at the time such Payment Blockage Notice is delivered to the
Company shall, within 10 days of their receipt thereof, deliver to the Company and the Trustee a
notice rescinding such Payment Blockage Notice, such Payment Blockage Notice shall be deemed not to
have been delivered for all purposes of this Indenture. If the Trustee receives any such Payment
Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice will be effective for purposes of this
Section [10.03] unless and until at least 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the
immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice.

     No Nonpayment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment
Blockage Notice to the Trustee may be, or may be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage
Notice unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days.

     (b) The Company may and will resume payments on and distributions in respect of
the Notes
and may acquire them upon the earlier of:

          (1) in the case of a Payment Default, upon the date upon which such default is cured or
waived, and

          (2) in the case of a Nonpayment Default, upon the earlier of the date on which such Nonpayment
Default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage
Notice is received, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated (in
which event the foregoing subclause (1) shall apply),

if this Article [10] otherwise permits such payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of
such payment, distribution or acquisition.

Section [10.04] Acceleration of Notes.

     If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company may not
make, directly or indirectly through any Subsidiary or other Person, any payment or distribution to
the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Notes and may not acquire
from the Trustee or any Holder any Notes for cash or property until all principal and other
Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been paid in full or such acceleration is
rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. The Company will promptly notify holders
of Senior Debt of any such acceleration.

Section [10.05] When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

     In the event that the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes receives any payment of any
Obligations with respect to the Notes at a time when the payment is prohibited by Section [10.03]or
Section [10.04], such payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit
of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Senior
Debt as their interests may appear or their Representative, if any, under the agreement, indenture
or other document (if any) pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt
remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their
terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of
Senior Debt.

     With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform only those
obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article [10], and no
implied

 

 

covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt will be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt, and will not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee pays over or
distributes to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which
any holders of Senior Debt are then entitled by virtue of this Article [10], except if such payment
is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.

Section [10.06] Notice by Company.

     The Company will promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the
Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this
Article [10], but failure to give such notice will not affect the subordination of the Notes to the
Senior Debt as provided in this Article [10].

Section [10.07] Subrogation.

     After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes
will be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the
Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt
to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the
payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article [10] to holders of Senior Debt that
otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Company and Holders, a
payment by the Company on the Notes.

Section [10.08] Relative Rights.

     This Article [10] defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Debt.
Nothing in this Indenture will:

          (1) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, interest and Additional
Interest, if any, on, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of, and to pay or deliver any amount
due upon conversion of, the Notes in accordance with their terms;

          (2) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company other
than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or

          (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies
upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt
to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes.

     If the Company fails because of this Article [10] to pay principal of, interest or Additional
Interest, if any, on, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of, or to pay or deliver any amount
due upon conversion of, the Notes in accordance with their terms, the failure is still a Default or
Event of Default.

Section [10.09] Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

     No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness
evidenced by the Notes may be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or
by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Indenture.

 

 

     Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of any series of Senior
Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative, if they have
appointed one, and if no Representative has been appointed by the holders of any series of Senior
Debt, such distribution or notice shall be made or given directly to such holders.

     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article [10],
the Trustee and the Holders of Notes will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any
court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the
liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the
Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article [10].

Section [10.11] Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article [10] or any other provision of this Indenture,
the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit
the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may
continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust
Office at least three Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that
would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article [10],
except for any acceleration of the Notes prior to making any such payment or distribution which is
known by any officer of the Trustee prior to making any such payment or distribution. The notice
may only be given by the Company or a Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, no such notice
shall constitute a Payment Blockage Notice unless delivered in accordance with Section 10.03(a)(2).
Nothing in this Article [10] will impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to [reference to “Compensation and Indemnity” section]
hereof.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section [10.12] Authorization to Effect Subordination; Filing Proof of Claim.

     Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee
on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination as provided in this Article [10], and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim
or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in [reference to
“Trustee May File Proofs of Claim” section] hereof at least 30 days
before the expiration of the time to file such claim or any Representative, are hereby authorized
to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes.

Section [10.13] Reliance and Amendments.

 

 

     (a) Each Holder of Notes by its acceptance thereof acknowledges and agrees that the
subordination provisions set forth in this Article [10] are, and are intended to be, an inducement
and a consideration for each holder of any Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt was created or
acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue
to hold, such Senior Debt, and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have
relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold or in continuing to
hold such Senior Debt.

     (b) The provisions of this Article [10] may not be amended or modified without the written
consent of the holders of all Senior Debt. In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the
provisions of this Article [10] that adversely affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes will
require the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding.

Section [10.14] No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

     Without in any way limiting the generality of Section [10.09], the holders of Senior Debt may,
at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders,
without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the
subordination provided in this Article 10 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the
holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms
of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or
supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under
which Senior Debt is outstanding; (b) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property
pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (c) release any Person liable in any manner
for the collection of Senior Debt; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against
the Company and any other Person.

ARTICLE [11].
