Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the full rights and benefits of use of each such Transferred Asset (including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates against any other party arising out of such Transferred Asset and, if requested by Buyer, acting as an agent on behalf of Buyer or as Buyer shall otherwise reasonably require, at Buyer’s expense) and to provide Buyer or its Subsidiaries the benefits of the transfer of such Transferred Asset (but solely to the extent that Buyer receives the benefits of use of such Transferred Asset). Once authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any Transferred Asset not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, as the case may be, assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Transferred Asset to Buyer at no additional cost. To the extent that any such Transferred Asset cannot be transferred or the full rights and benefits of use of any such Transferred Asset cannot be provided to Buyer following the Closing despite Seller’s use of commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with this Section 2.10, then Buyer and Seller shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing or subcontracting if permitted) to provide to Buyer the economic and operational

-30-




equivalents, to the extent permitted, and designed to provide Buyer with the rights and benefits (including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates against any other party arising out of such Transferred Asset and, if requested by Buyer, acting as an agent on behalf of Buyer or as Buyer shall otherwise reasonably require, at Buyer’s expense) of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the performance by Buyer of the obligations thereunder and Buyer shall direct the operations of such Transferred Assets. With respect to the provisions of this Section 2.10, Seller shall pay promptly to Buyer, when received, all income, proceeds and other monies (other than the Initial Purchase Price) received by Seller or any of its Affiliates to the extent related to any Transferred Asset (net of any Taxes (and any other costs) imposed upon Seller or any Subsidiary in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.10), with such Tax costs to be determined by assuming that such Transferred Assets and related operations were taxable on a stand-alone basis). If the Taxes (as so determined) and other costs imposed upon Seller or any Subsidiary in respect of such Transferred Asset exceed the monies received by Seller or any Subsidiary in respect thereof, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller or the applicable Subsidiary for such excess. To the extent permitted under applicable Tax law, for all Tax purposes the parties shall treat all such assets as having been transferred by Seller to Buyer at the Closing.

      Section 2.11 Obtaining Consents and Approvals . In the event that any payment of money or other consideration is required in connection with obtaining any of the consents, approvals, waivers or authorizations contemplated by Section 2.10, and Buyer determines that any such payment should be made, Buyer and Seller shall each pay 50% of such payment; provided , however , that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to pay more than $2,500,000, respectively, in the aggregate to obtain such consents, approvals, waivers or authorizations.

      Section 2.12 Intellectual Property Agreement . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at and following the Closing, Buyer’s and the Transferred Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Intellectual Property and Transferred Subsidiary Intellectual Property shall be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Ancillary Agreements, including the Intellectual Property Agreement. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall limit the representations and warranties of Seller in Article III or Seller’s obligations under Article VII.

     Section 2.13 IRR Payment .

      (a) If the Closing has occurred and on the terms set forth in this Agreement, in addition to the Initial Purchase Price payable at the Closing in accordance with Section 2.5(a), upon the occurrence of each IRR Payment Event, the IRR Payment, if any, resulting from such IRR Payment Event shall be paid to Seller in accordance with Section 2.13(b), provided that any IRR Payment otherwise required hereunder shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the aggregate IRR Payments made hereunder do

-31-




not exceed $200,000,000, and the obligation to make any IRR Payment hereunder shall cease and terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) such time as the aggregate IRR Payments made to Seller hereunder equal $200,000,000 and (ii) such time as (A) the Investors cease to hold any Investors Equity Interests or any property or securities other than cash or Readily Marketable Securities received by the Investors with respect to, or as consideration or in exchange for, Investors Equity Interests (such property or securities, the "Non-Marketable Property") and (B) all IRR Payments, if any, required to be paid hereunder in connection with the IRR Payment Event, if any, arising from the Investors’ ceasing to hold any Investors Equity Interests or such property or securities have been paid in full (the earlier to occur of such events, the " Termination Event ").

      (b) Subject to any adjustments that may be made in accordance with Section 2.13(c), contemporaneously with the receipt by the Investors of any Cash Inflow on any IRR Payment Event, Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller (for the benefit of itself and its Affiliates in accordance with Section 2.5(b)) its good faith estimate of the IRR Payment (the " Estimated IRR Payment "), if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds and, to the extent that the Cash Inflow from which it results consists of any Readily Marketable Securities, by transfer of Readily Marketable Securities. The percentage of any IRR Payment that is made in the form of Readily Marketable Securities shall be the same as the percentage of the Cash Inflow in the IRR Payment Event from which such IRR Payment results that consists of Readily Marketable Securities, and the portion of any IRR Payment that consists of Readily Marketable Securities shall be valued at the Fair Market Value thereof as of the date of the related IRR Payment Event.

      (c) (i) No later than 10 days following the receipt by the Investors of any Cash Inflow or the receipt by the Company of any Cash Outflow, (A) in the case of a Cash Inflow, Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller a statement that notifies Seller of such Cash Inflow (if not previously so notified) and sets forth in reasonable detail its calculation of IRR and IRR Payment, if any, as of the date of such receipt (an " IRR Statement "), and (B) in the case of a Cash Outflow, Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller a statement that notifies Seller of such Cash Outflow and sets forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the Fair Market Value of any Non-Marketable Property included in such Cash Outflow as of the date of receipt by the Company of such Non-Marketable Property (an " FMV Statement ").

      (ii) In the case of a Cash Inflow, if Seller disagrees with the determination of IRR or IRR Payment, if any, in such IRR Statement, Seller may, within 30 days after receipt of such IRR Statement, deliver a notice (an " IRR Objection Notice ") to Buyer setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of IRR and IRR Payment.

      (iii) In the case of a Cash Outflow, if Seller disagrees with the determination of Fair Market Value in such FMV Statement, Seller may, within 30 days after receipt of such FMV Statement, deliver a notice (an " FMV Objection Notice ") to Buyer setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of Fair Market Value.

-32-




      (iv) If Seller does not deliver an IRR Objection Notice or FMV Objection Notice to Buyer within 30 days after receipt of the IRR Statement or the FMV Statement, respectively, then Seller and Buyer will be deemed to have agreed to the IRR Statement or the FMV Statement, respectively, and such determinations shall be deemed to be finally determined as set forth therein. Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the computation of IRR, IRR Payment or Fair Market Value, as the case may be, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within 15 days after Buyer has received an IRR Objection Notice or FMV Objection Notice, as the case may be, Buyer and Seller shall jointly retain the New York City office of an independent "Big Four" accounting firm reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Buyer (the " Firm ") to resolve any remaining disagreements. Buyer and Seller shall direct the Firm to render a determination within 15 days of its engagement, and Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates and representatives shall cooperate with the Firm during the terms of its engagement. The Firm will be directed to consider only those items and amounts in the IRR Statement or the FMV Statement, as the case may be, set forth in the IRR Objection Notice or the FMV Objection Notice, as the case may be, which Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve. Buyer and Seller shall each make a submission to the Firm promptly (and in any event within 10 days after the Firm’s engagement), which submission shall contain such party’s determination of IRR, IRR Payment or Fair Market Value, as the case may be, and all relevant information, arguments, and support for such party’s position. The Firm shall review such submissions and base its determination solely on them. In resolving any disputed item, the Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Firm’s determination will be based on the definition of IRR, IRR Payment or Fair Market Value, as the case may be, included herein. The determination of the Firm will be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller. Seller and Buyer shall each bear 50% of the costs and expenses of the Firm.

     (v) The IRR Payment, if any, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.13(c) shall be referred to herein as the " Actual IRR Payment ." If any Estimated IRR Payment is made as of an IRR Payment Event pursuant to Section 2.13(b), and such Estimated IRR Payment is less than the Actual IRR Payment as of such IRR Payment Event, then Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller (for the benefit of itself and its Affiliates in accordance with Section 2.5(b)) an amount equal to such shortfall, plus interest calculated at the bond rate for AA corporate bonds with a maturity of one year, or, if a rate is not available for that maturity, for the closest maturity for which such a rate is available (the " AA Rate ") for bonds most similar to such bonds) prevailing as of the date of such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds and, to

-33-




the extent that the Cash Inflow from which such IRR Payment results consists of any Readily Marketable Securities, by transfer of Readily Marketable Securities. If any Estimated IRR Payment is made as of an IRR Payment Event pursuant to Section 2.13(b), and such Estimated IRR Payment is greater than the Actual IRR Payment as of such IRR Payment Event, then Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Buyer an amount equal to such excess plus interest calculated at the AA Rate prevailing as of the date of such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds and, to the extent that the Cash Inflow from which such IRR Payment results consists of any Readily Marketable Securities, by transfer of Readily Marketable Securities. The percentage of any Readily Marketable Securities to be included in any such payment, if applicable, shall be determined in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.13(b).

      (d) Buyer hereby covenants that during the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the occurrence of the Termination Event:

      (i) Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to enter into any agreement that would, by its terms, or should reasonably be expected to, prohibit or restrict the payment of any IRR Payment required by this Section 2.13, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries may enter into or become subject to agreements that restrict the making of payments which, if made, would directly or indirectly constitute, create or result in, Cash Inflows;

      (ii) without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction with any of the Investors, other than (A) such transactions pursuant to which Cash Inflows or Cash Outflows are made, including the entry of any management agreement or similar agreement providing for fees all of which would constitute Cash Inflows and any subscription agreement, purchase agreement or similar agreement that would result in Cash Outflows or (B) the entry of any shareholders agreement, registration rights agreement, voting agreement or other agreement related to the rights or obligations related to the Investors Equity Interests and which do not involve any Cash Inflows or Cash Outflows or any other payments by Buyer or its Subsidiaries to any Investor; and

      (iii) Buyer shall not take any action for the purpose of frustrating the intent of the parties, as reflected in this Section 2.13, that if the Investors realize a "cash-on-cash" IRR in excess of 25% on their investment in Buyer, Seller will receive IRR Payments equal to 25% of the excess return, but not exceeding $200,000,000 in the aggregate. The parties intend that this Section 2.13 shall be interpreted by the parties, any Firm, and any Governmental Entity to give maximum effect to the intent of the parties, as reflected in this Section 2.13, that if the Investors realize a "cash-on-cash" IRR in excess of 25% of their investment in Buyer, Seller will receive IRR Payments equal to 25% of the excess return, but not exceeding $200,000,000 in the aggregate.

-34-




      (e) The right of Seller to receive any IRR Payment hereunder is solely a contractual right and is not a security for purposes of any federal or state securities laws, and Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Company under this Section 2.13 shall confer upon Seller only the rights of a general unsecured creditor under applicable state law.

To the extent that Buyer is required to pay any cash consideration for the Transferred Assets located in any Deferred Closing Countries at a Deferred Closing, Seller shall remit to Buyer, in immediately available funds, the amount of cash consideration allocated to such Deferred Closing Country in accordance with Section 5.4(k), and Buyer shall pay such consideration at such Deferred Closing.

-37-




      (c) In the event that a Deferred Closing does not occur with respect any Deferred Closing Country within 180 days after the Closing Date (the " Deferred Closing Deadline "), either Buyer or Seller may give notice to the other of its election to terminate the arrangements set forth in this Section 2.14 with respect to such Deferred Closing Country; if such notice is given, (i) within five (5) Business Days after such notice, Seller shall pay to Buyer such portion of the Initial Purchase Price allocable to the Business conducted at such Deferred Closing Country, as set forth on Schedule 5.4, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the rate of interest borne by Buyer and its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries under the senior debt included in the Debt Financing, (ii) the temporary arrangements entered into prior to the Deferred Closing Deadline pursuant to Section 2.14(a) in respect of such Deferred Closing Country shall cease as of such time the payment contemplated in clause (i) immediately foregoing is made to Buyer and (iii) at Seller’s request, subject to Section 5.13, Seller and Buyer shall enter into mutually agreeable, commercially reasonable arrangements to allow Seller to continue to conduct the Business in such Deferred Closing Country. However, a party that has breached in any material respect any of its covenants under this Agreement in any manner that proximately contributed to the failure of a Deferred Closing to occur prior to the Deferred Closing Deadline with respect to a Deferred Closing Country may not give a notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence with respect to such Deferred Closing Country.

      (f) In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates enters into any transaction, or any contract to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition)

In addition, Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing from occurring as promptly as practicable.
