Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and the and each such Person’s Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates, of
each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice which such Person reasonably believe has been given by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Parent. All telephonic notices to and
other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 (b) Section 10 of the 2007 Credit Agreement is hereby amended by attaching Schedule 10.2 attached to this Amendment as Schedule 10.2 thereto.

 (c) Section 10 of the 2007 Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 10.24: 
 10.24 Impacted Lenders and Defaulting Lenders. (a) If at any time after a Revolving Credit Lender has been deemed to be an Impacted Lender,
either (i) such Lender fulfills its funding obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) the Borrower, Administrative Agent, Multicurrency Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender agree in writing that such Revolving Credit
Lender should no longer be deemed to be an Impacted Lender, then, so long as such Revolving Credit Lender is not a Defaulting Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall no longer be deemed to be an Impacted Lender. 
 (b) Without limiting any of the rights of the Borrower to replace any such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.24, if any
defaults of the type specified in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of Defaulting Lender (each, a “Specified Lender Default”) occur with respect to any Defaulting Lender, so long as no defaults of the type identified in
clause (c) of the definition of Defaulting Lender shall have occurred with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall have a one-time right during the period commencing on the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and
ending on the fifth Business Day thereafter (the “Lender Cure Period”) to cure all (but not less than all) of such Specified Lender Defaults to the satisfaction of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Multicurrency
Issuing Lender. On the first Business Day after such Defaulting Lender obtains written acknowledgment of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Multicurrency Issuing Lender acknowledging the cure of all (but not less than all) Specified
Lender Defaults of such Lender (such date, the “Reinstatement Date”), (a) such Lender will no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (b) all such Lender’s voting rights and rights to payment
under the Loan Documents that were 

  

 13 

 
suspended as a result of its status as a Defaulting Lender shall be restored and (c) the Borrower shall no longer have the right to replace such Lender
pursuant to Section 2.24 with respect to the cured Specified Lender Defaults. Prior to any Reinstatement Date, each Defaulting Lender shall remain liable to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties for any and all damages arising out of,
in connection with, or as a result of, each Specified Lender Default, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. If one or more additional Lender defaults occur after the Reinstatement Date with respect to such Lender, the prior written consent of
the Required Lenders in their sole discretion and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower in its sole discretion shall be required to restore such Lender as a non-Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) prior to and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, LCPI shall
not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a Defaulting Lender and (ii) at no time on or after the First Amendment Effective Date shall LCPI be or be deemed to be (x) an Impacted Lender or (y) a Defaulting Lender under clause
(a) (other than any obligations arising after the First Amendment Effective Date under Section 2.26) or clause (c) of the definition thereof. 
 SECTION 1.07. Resignation and Waiver. Each of the Lenders party hereto hereby (i) acknowledges the resignation of LCPI as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, (ii) waives the
requirement under Section 9.9 of the 2007 Credit Agreement that LCPI provide 30 days’ prior written notice prior to its resignation under the Assignment and Assumption becoming effective and (iii) agrees that LCPI’s resignation
as Administrative Agent shall become effective as of the Effective Date. 
 SECTION 1.08. LCPI and the Amended Credit
Agreement. The parties hereto hereby confirm that, as of the date hereof, all of the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9 and Section 10.5, to the extent they pertain to LCPI as
Administrative Agent, and Section 2.21, to the extent it pertains to LCPI as Lender), continue in effect for the benefit of LCPI, its sub-agents and their respective affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them as Administrative Agent or a sub-agent thereof or as a Lender, as the case may be, and inure to the benefit of LCPI. 
 SECTION 1.09.
LCPI as Bailee. On and after the Effective Date, all possessory collateral held by LCPI for the benefit of the Lenders or Secured Parties, as applicable shall be deemed to be held by LCPI as agent and bailee for the Successor
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or Secured Parties, as applicable, until such time as such possessory collateral has been delivered to the Successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Loan
Party agrees that all of such Liens granted by any Loan Party, shall in all respects be continuing and in effect and are hereby ratified and reaffirmed by each Loan Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any reference to LCPI on
any publicly filed document, to the extent such filing relates to the liens and security interests in the Collateral assigned hereby or by the Assignment and Assumption and until such filing is modified to reflect the interests of the Successor
Administrative Agent, shall, with respect to such liens and security interests, constitute a reference to LCPI as collateral representative of the 

  

 14 

 
Successor Administrative Agent; provided, that the parties hereto agree that LCPI’s role as such collateral representative shall impose no
duties, obligations, or liabilities on LCPI, including, without limitation, any duty to take any type of direction regarding any action to be taken against such Collateral, whether such direction comes from the Successor Administrative Agent, the
Required Lenders, or otherwise and LCPI shall have the full benefit of the protective provisions of Section 9 of the Amended Credit Agreement while serving in such capacity. 
 SECTION 1.10. Release. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive all claims, suits,
debts, liens, losses, causes of action, demands, rights, damages or costs, or expenses of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which any of them may have or claim to have against LCPI (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, a Lender, hedging counterparty, or any other capacity under the Loan Documents) or its agents, employees, officers, affiliates, directors, representatives, attorneys, successors and assigns (collectively, the
“Released Parties”) to the extent arising at any time on or before the Effective Date out of or in connection with the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Claims”). Each of the Borrower and the Loan
Parties further agree forever to refrain from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any lawsuit, action or other proceeding against any Released Parties with respect to such Claims and from exercising any rights of recoupment or setoff that it may
have under a master netting agreement or otherwise against any obligation under the Loan Documents. Each of the Released Parties shall be a third party beneficiary of this Amendment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
this Section 1.10 release or be deemed to release LCPI or any other Released Party from any claims, suits, debts, liens, losses, causes of actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind, character or nature arising under this Amendment
or the Assignment and Assumption. 
 SECTION 1.11. Effect of Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Amended Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or herein, LCPI, in its capacity as Administrative Agent or as Lender shall have no obligation to provide any further financial accommodations to or for the benefit of
the Borrower, its Affiliates or any Loan Party pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 1.12. Limitation and Reservation of
Rights. Each party hereto hereby confirms and agrees that (a) this Amendment (i) does not impose on LCPI affirmative obligations or indemnities not existing as of the date of its petition commencing its proceeding under chapter 11 of
title 11 of the United States Code and that could give rise to administrative expense claims, and (ii) is not inconsistent with the terms of the 2007 Credit Agreement, (b) (i) LCPI’s rights to indemnification in its capacity as
resigning Administrative Agent under Section 9.9 of the Amended Credit Agreement and (ii) any rights to indemnification of LCPI in its capacity as a Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall continue in effect for the benefit of LCPI,
its sub-agents and their respective affiliates, and (c) any rights to reimbursement or indemnification of LCPI in its capacity (i) as Pledgee arising under the Deed of Pledge of Registered Shares, dated July 27, 2007, by and between
Syniverse Technologies, Inc., LCPI as Pledgee and Syniverse Technologies B.V. as the Company, including, without limitation, Section 15 thereof, (ii) in its capacity as Security Agent arising under the Share Pledge Agreement dated
December 17, 2007 by and between Highwoods Corporation, LCPI as Security Agent and in the presence of Billing Services Group Luxembourg S.à.r.l. as the Company, including, without 

  

 15 

 
limitation, Sections 13 and 18 thereof, and (iii) as Administrative Agent under the Share Mortgage, dated September 27, 2006, by and between
Syniverse Technologies, Inc., and LCPI as Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, Section 10 thereof, shall continue in effect for the benefit of LCPI in such capacity.

Bank of America as successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and (b) acknowledges and agrees that Bank of America, as successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents is the beneficiary of Section 9 of the Amended

	1.	Any award of stock options representing shares of Company stock shall be granted in the form of Non-qualified Stock Options. 

  

	2.	The purchase price of any shares of Common Stock subject to an option award shall be the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of grant. Fair Market Value shall be determined
by calculating the closing price of MeadWestvaco Common Stock as traded and reported by the New York Stock Exchange. 

  

	3.	Awards shall be made under the 2005 MeadWestvaco Corporation Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and restated. 

  

	4.	An award of stock options will vest in equal 1/3 increments on the anniversary dates of such award, beginning one-year from the award date. 

  

	5.	An award of stock options whether vested or unvested will be forfeited under the following circumstances: 

  

	 	a.	Employment of the grantee is terminated for “gross misconduct.” Gross misconduct is defined as (i) fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement; (ii) engaging in
conduct that is demonstratively and materially injurious to the Company; (iii) gross or intentional neglect of duties or responsibilities as an employee; or (iv) gross or intentional violation of the Company’s policies and procedures.

  

	 	b.	Grantee renders services, directly or indirectly, to any third party engaged in competition with the Company (including solicitation of Company employees or customers).

  

	 	c.	Committee requires recoupment of award in accordance with Company Recoupment Policy. 

  

	6.	Any award of stock options shall be subject to the following provisions relating to the exercise of options subsequent to termination of employment subject to (4) above and the
requirement that an option cannot be exercised ten (10) years after the date of the award: 

  

	 	a.	 In the event of involuntary termination of employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, by reason of a divestiture of a business or by mutual agreement or
by reason of a job elimination, unvested options are cancelled and 

	 	 
the right to exercise vested options shall expire two (2) years after the date of such termination. If termination is for any other reason, other than

	 	b.	In the event of termination of employment due to disability, unvested options shall immediately vest and the right to exercise vested options shall expire three (3) years after
the date of such termination. 

  

	 	c.	In the event of termination of employment due to retirement, unvested options shall immediately vest and the right to exercise vested options shall expire ten (10) years after
the original date of the award. The term “retirement” means retirement at or after age 65 (or 62 with 20 years of service) under the terms of the company’s qualified retirement plans. 

  

	 	d.	In the event of termination of employment due to death, unvested options shall immediately vest and the right to exercise vested options shall expire three (3) years after the

employee is deceased, the option is exercisable by the employee’s personal representative (executor or administrator) heirs or legatees. 

  

	7.	An employee on an approved leave of absence shall have options continued during his or her leave of absence, subject to the Committee’s discretion.
