7. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with all the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Relevant Documents”), sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the parties relating to such subject matter.

89551451_4
13. No Novation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereunder is intended to constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents or any obligations thereunder.
14. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic means (including .pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
15. FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), from and after the effective date of this Amendment, it is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
16. Collateral Delivery Obligation. Within 60 days after the date hereof (which such date may be extended by an additional 30 days at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or as otherwise extended in accordance with the Agreed Collateral Principles), the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall be secured by valid and perfected first priority Liens and security interests, subject to Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement and subject further to the Agreed Collateral Principles, in all of the following, other than Excluded Collateral (the “Collateral”):
(a) Subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Section 16, all of the present and future personal property and assets, and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, owned real property having an individual value of at least $2,500,000, of each Loan Party including, without limitation:
(1) all present and future shares of capital stock of (or other ownership or profit interests in) each of the present and future Subsidiaries of each Loan Party other than inactive Subsidiaries (limited, in the case of each entity that is a “controlled foreign corporation” under Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code, each U.S. entity that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that owns (directly or indirectly through another fiscally transparent entity) a “controlled foreign corporation”, and each U.S. entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes whose assets primarily consist of one or more “controlled foreign corporations”, to a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of each such first-tier foreign Subsidiary or U.S. Subsidiary, as applicable, to the extent the pledge of any greater percentage would result in adverse tax consequences to the applicable Loan Party);
(2) all inventory of each Loan Party;
(3) all equipment of each Loan Party;
(4) all intellectual property of each Loan Party (provided that in no event shall any intellectual property security agreements (or equivalent documentation) be filed with the USPTO or US Copyright office until after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default);
(5) all accounts receivable and payment intangibles of each Loan Party; and
89551451_4
(6) all deposit accounts of each Loan Party located in the United States, but excluding (x) any deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any Loan Party’s salaried employees and (y) other deposit accounts constituting zero balance, payroll, withholding or trust accounts, the aggregate average daily balance of which for all Loan Parties does not exceed $2,500,000 at any time; and
(b) all proceeds and products of the foregoing.
Assets being disposed of in connection with Project Jazz shall not be included as, or required to be pledged as, Collateral; provided, however, in the event that Project Jazz is not consummated, such assets shall be included as, and be pledged as, Collateral to the extent it would not otherwise be excluded pursuant to this Section 16.
In no event shall the Collateral include any of the following:
(i) pledges and security interests prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation (to the extent such law, rule or regulation is effective under applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (or foreign equivalent));
(ii) assets of and equity interests in any joint venture or other non-wholly owned Subsidiary;
(iii) any asset or property if and for so long as the grant of a security interest therein is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, sublicense, agreement, instrument or other document;
(iv) any property in which the Loan Party now or hereafter has rights, to the extent in each case a security interest may not be granted by the Loan Party in such property without the consent of one or more third parties, including any Governmental Authority;
(v) any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest would contravene the Agreed Collateral Principles;
(vi) any motor vehicles and any other assets subject to a certificate of title (other than proceeds thereof), to the extent a security interest in such motor vehicles or other assets cannot be perfected solely by filing a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement; and
(vii) assets as to which the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties reasonably agree that the costs of obtaining such security interest or perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security to be afforded thereby (the foregoing described in clauses (i) through (vii) are, collectively, the “Excluded Collateral”).
The “Agreed Collateral Principles” are as follows: (i) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no actions shall be required under the law of any non-U.S. jurisdiction in order to create or perfect any security interest other than the United Kingdom, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Netherlands and Netherlands Antilles, (ii) no lien by any Person organized outside of the United States shall be made that would result in any breach of any law or regulation (or analogous restriction) of the jurisdiction of organization of such Person or result in any risk to the officers or directors of such Person or a civil or criminal liability, and (iii) it is expressly
89551451_4
acknowledged that in certain jurisdictions it may be (A) impossible or impractical (including for legal and regulatory reasons) to create security over certain categories of assets or (B) it may take longer than agreed upon to grant or create such security over certain categories of assets, in which event the Administrative Agent will act reasonably in granting the necessary extension of timing for obtaining such security, provided, that with respect to subsections (A) and (B), the applicable Loan Party has exercised commercially reasonable efforts in providing such security.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, the Liens on the Collateral shall (i) ratably secure the relevant Loan Party’s Obligations, (ii) rank pari passu with the Liens securing the obligations under the Transaction Facilities, (iii) be effected and implemented by the entry by the Loan Parties into such security, pledge and other agreements (including, without limitation, an amendment to the Credit Agreement), in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the taking by the Loan Parties of such action (including, without limitation, the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and the delivery of original certificates and instruments constituting or representing Collateral, accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer), in each case, as may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to vest in the Administrative Agent valid and subsisting Liens on the Collateral, and (iv) be subject to an intercreditor or related agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) by and between the (A) Administrative Agent (acting as “collateral agent”), (B) the noteholders under the Note Purchase Agreements, (C) the respective administrative agents (to the extent authorized to do so) for the creditors under the other Transaction Facilities and (D) those Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement and the Existing 2015 Term Loan Agreement who have issued performance and financial letters of credit to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (but outside of such credit agreements), which in the case of the Lenders pursuant to this clause (D) will be pari passu to the other Lenders and creditors in clauses (A) through (C) with respect to up to $500,000,000 in Indebtedness owed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to such Lenders. Notwithstanding any other timing requirement in this Section 16 otherwise, the Intercreditor Agreement shall be entered into by the parties thereto not later than 21 days following the date hereof.
The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents and any security instruments, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (i) to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (ii) to enter into security documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and any other related security instruments on behalf of the Lenders.
