You hereby authorize the Commitment Parties to download copies of the Borrower's trademark logos from its website and post copies thereof and any Information Materials to a deal site on IntraLinks, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Commitment Parties to be its electronic transmission system (an "Electronic Platform") established by the Commitment Parties to syndicate the Credit Facilities, and to use the Borrower's trademark logos on any confidential information memoranda, presentations and other marketing materials prepared in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities or, with your consent (which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in any advertisements that we may place after the closing of the Credit Facilities in financial and other newspapers, journals, the World Wide Web, home page or otherwise, at their own expense describing its services to the Borrower hereunder. You also understand and acknowledge that we may provide to market data collectors, such as league table, or other service providers to the lending industry, information regarding the closing date, size, type, purpose of, and parties to, the Credit Facilities.

If requested, you also will assist us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials (the "Public-Side Version") to be used by prospective Lenders' public-side employees and representatives ("Public-Siders") who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal and state securities laws) with respect to the Borrower, its affiliates and any of its securities ("MNPI") and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to the Borrower's or its affiliates' securities or loans. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to us (i) a letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to a prospective Lender's employees willing to receive MNPI ("Private-Siders") and (ii) a separate letter in which you authorize distribution of the Public-Side Version to Public-Siders and represent that either (x) no MNPI is contained therein or (y) neither the Borrower, nor any of its controlling or controlled entities has any debt or equity securities issued pursuant to a public offering or Rule 144A private placement and agree that if the Borrower, or any of its controlling or controlled entities becomes the issuer of any debt or equity securities issued pursuant to a public offering or Rule 144A private placement thereafter, you will publicly disclose

any information contained in the Information Materials delivered to Public-Siders that constitutes MNPI at such time. The Information Memorandum or other Information Materials will exculpate us and our affiliates and you and your affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of such Information Memorandum or other Information Materials by the recipients thereof (provided that this sentence shall not limit any representations or warranties made by you or your affiliates in the definitive documentation relating to the Credit Facilities). You also acknowledge that publishing debt analysts employed by the Commitment Parties and their affiliates who are Public-Siders may participate in any meetings or telephone conference calls held pursuant to clause (c) of the immediately previous paragraph; provided that such analysts shall not publish any information obtained from such meetings or calls (i) until the syndication of the Credit Facilities has been completed upon the making of allocations by JPMorgan Chase Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank freeing the Credit Facilities to trade or (ii) in violation of any confidentiality agreement between you and any Commitment Party.

The Borrower agrees that the following documents may be distributed to both Private-Siders and Public-Siders, unless the Borrower advises JPMorgan Chase Bank (on behalf of the Commitment Parties) in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private-Siders: (a) administrative materials prepared by JPMorgan Chase Bank for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda) and (b) term sheets summarizing the Credit Facilities' terms and notification of changes in the Credit Facilities' terms. If you advise us that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private-Siders, then Public-Siders will not receive such materials without further discussions with you.

The Borrower hereby authorizes JPMorgan Chase Bank (on behalf of the Commitment Parties) to distribute draft and execution versions of definitive documentation relating to the Credit Facilities to Private-Siders and Public-Siders.

As the lead left Senior Lead Arranger, JPMorgan Chase Bank will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached (with your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in any case, excluding Disqualified Lenders, and it being understood that you consent to the Approved Lenders) and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (with your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in any case, excluding Disqualified Lenders, and it being understood that you consent to the Approved Lenders), the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. In acting as a Senior Lead Arranger, each Senior Lead Arranger will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein and is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the arrangement of the Credit Facilities (including in connection with determining the terms of the Credit Facilities) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Commitment Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Commitment Party shall have any responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

It is further agreed that the second stage of such syndication is expected to take the form of a general syndication of the Credit Facilities (the "General Syndication", and any financial institution to which an assignment is made as part of the General Syndication being referred to as a "General Syndication Lender"). In connection with any assignments to Additional Initial Lenders as part of the Initial Syndication, you and each Commitment Party agree, at the request of JPMorgan Chase Bank, to enter into appropriate documentation (including, if requested by JPMorgan Chase Bank, an amendment and restatement of this Commitment Letter, one or more joinder agreements or one or more separate fee letters or amendment and restatement of fee letters, pursuant to which such Additional Initial Lenders and, if applicable, their designated affiliates, will become parties to this Commitment Letter and extend commitments in respect of the applicable Credit Facilities directly to you) containing such provisions as shall be reasonably determined by JPMorgan Chase Bank and you, relating to the allocation of titles and roles, rights and responsibilities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities and the allocation of any reductions in the Original Commitment Parties' commitments in respect of the Credit Facilities (but which documentation will not, except as agreed by you in your sole discretion, add or expand any conditions to the availability of the Credit Facilities or change the terms of the Credit Facilities, increase the aggregate compensation payable by you in connection therewith as set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the Fee Letters or otherwise expressly impose any additional liabilities on you).

Notwithstanding the Commitment Parties' right to syndicate the Credit Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, except with respect to the Additional Initial Lenders in connection with the Initial Syndication as described above, (i) no Commitment Party shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Credit Facilities, including its commitments in respect thereof, until the effectiveness of the Credit Facilities has occurred on the Closing Date and (ii) unless you agree in writing, each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, waivers and amendments, until the effectiveness of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date has occurred.

You agree that if, at any time prior to the Closing Date and the Syndication End Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if such Information or Projections were furnished at such time and such representations were remade, in any material respect, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations and warranties when remade would be correct, in all material respects, under those circumstances. You understand that in connection with our arrangement and syndication activities relating to the Credit Facilities, we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties, in and of itself, shall not be a condition to the obligations of the Commitment Parties hereunder or the funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.

Credit Facilities

Summary of Terms and Conditions

Set forth below is a summary of the principal terms and conditions for the Letter of Credit Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Facility, in each case as defined below (collectively, the "Credit Facilities").


1. PARTIES      
Borrower:    WeWork Companies LLC (the "Company").
Foreign Borrowers:    Foreign subsidiaries of the Company as may be designated by the Company as borrowers under the Credit Facilities on customary terms and subject to customary conditions to be agreed (each such foreign subsidiary, a "Foreign Borrower" and the Company and such Foreign Borrowers, collectively, the "Borrowers").
Guarantors:    All current and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, other than Excluded Subsidiaries (as defined below), and (other than with respect to its own obligations, the Borrower (the "Domestic Guarantors"), which Domestic Guarantors, as of the Closing Date, shall be substantially similar to the guarantors under the Existing Revolving Facility and the Existing LC Facility (in each case as defined below). For purposes of the Credit Documentation (as defined below), "Excluded Guarantors" shall mean:
   (a)    any subsidiary (x) that would be prohibited or restricted by applicable law or contract (including any requirement to obtain the consent, approval, license or authorization of any governmental authority or third party, unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received, but excluding any restriction in any organizational documents of such subsidiary) from becoming a Guarantor so long as (i) in the case of subsidiaries of the Company existing on the Closing Date, such contractual obligation is in existence on the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of subsidiaries of the Company acquired after the Closing Date, such contractual obligation is in existence at the time of such acquisition, or (y) which would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrowers and/or their affiliates and direct or indirect beneficial owners as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with the Administrative Agent,


   (b)    any direct or indirect domestic subsidiary substantially all of the assets of which consist (directly or indirectly through entities that are treated as a disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of capital stock and/or indebtedness of one or more entities that are (i) "controlled foreign corporations" within the meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a "CFC"), and/or (ii) other CFC Holdcos (each such domestic subsidiary, a "CFC Holdco"),
   (c)    any domestic subsidiary that is a direct or indirect subsidiary of (i) a CFC or (ii) a CFC Holdco,
   (d)    captive insurance subsidiaries, not-for-profit subsidiaries, special purpose entities and immaterial subsidiaries,
   (e)    any restricted subsidiary acquired with pre-existing indebtedness permitted to remain outstanding under the Credit Documentation (to the extent such guarantee would be prohibited by or require consent pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness), and
   (f)    any subsidiary to the extent that the burden or cost of providing a guarantee outweighs the benefit afforded thereby as reasonably determined by the Company and the Administrative Agent (as defined below);
   provided that subsidiaries that are not "eligible contract participants" shall not guarantee swap obligations to the extent not permitted by the Commodity Exchange Act, or any regulation thereunder, by virtue of such subsidiary failing to constitute an "eligible contract participant."
   To the extent there is any Foreign Borrower, and subject to customary Agreed Security Principles (to be agreed) both material domestic subsidiaries that are CFC Holdcos and material foreign subsidiaries, other than Excluded Guarantors (except subsidiaries that are Excluded Guarantors solely due to being foreign subsidiaries), in jurisdictions to be agreed shall guarantee the obligations of such Foreign Borrower (the "Foreign Guarantors" and, together with the Domestic Guarantors, the "Guarantors"; the Borrowers and the Guarantors, collectively, the "Loan Parties") (it being understood that the obligations of such Foreign Borrower shall also be guaranteed by the Domestic Guarantors), in each case subject to customary exceptions to be agreed.
   In addition, solely to the extent that (i) The We Company or any other direct or indirect parent entities of the Company (each, "Super Holdco") provides a guarantee or is a co-issuer in respect of indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $20 million

2


   or (ii) the Company elects to satisfy its obligations with respect to financial reporting relating to the Company by furnishing financial information relating to Super HoldCo with customary consolidating information, prior to or substantially simultaneously therewith, Super Holdco shall guarantee the Credit Facilities on an unsecured basis.
Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners:    JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (in such capacity, the "Lead Left Arranger") and BofA Securities, Inc., Barclays Bank PLC, Citi, Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (in such capacity, together with the Lead Left Arranger, the "Arrangers").
Administrative Agent:    JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase Bank" and, in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent").
Lenders:    A syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities arranged by the Lead Left Arranger and reasonably acceptable to the Company (collectively, the "Lenders").
2. TYPES AND AMOUNTS OF SENIOR SECURED FACILITIES
A. Letter of Credit Facility:      
Type and Amount:    A letter of credit reimbursement facility (the "Letter of Credit Facility"; the commitments thereunder, the "Letter of Credit Commitments") in the amount of $2.0 billion (the standby letters of credit issued thereunder, the "Letters of Credit") (subject to the limitations set forth under "Availability and Maturity" below). Letters of Credit shall be available in US dollars, and, as the applicable Issuing Lender (as defined below) may agree in its sole discretion, euros, pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, yen and such other freely tradable currencies.
Availability and Maturity:    The Letter of Credit Facility shall be available during the period commencing on the Closing Date (as defined below) and ending on the later of (i) the third anniversary of consummation of a Qualifying IPO (as defined below) and (ii) December 31, 2022 (the "Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date"); provided that Foreign Borrowers shall only be permitted to utilize the Letter of Credit Facility for the issuance of Letters of Credit subject to a sublimit to be mutually agreed. The Letter of Credit Commitments will expire on the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date.
   "Qualifying IPO" shall mean the sale on a bona fide nationally recognized securities exchange of common stock of the Company or a parent company of the Company or the listing for trading of common stock of the Company or a parent company

3


   of the Company on a bona fide nationally recognized securities exchange that, in either case, results in the Company or a parent company of the Company receiving gross proceeds of no less than $3.0 billion; provided that if such gross proceeds are received by a parent company of the Company, substantially all of the net cash proceeds shall be contributed to the Company as common equity.
Letters of Credit:    The Letter of Credit Facility shall be available for the issuance of Letters of Credit by JPMorgan Chase Bank and, unless the Company otherwise agrees, each other Lender that has commitments under the Letter of Credit Facility (included by assignment), or any of their respective affiliates (each, in such capacity, the "Issuing Lender"). No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of (a) the date that is 364 days after its date of issuance and (b) five business days prior to the Letter of Credit Facility Termination Date, provided that (i) any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods and (ii) at the request of the applicable Borrower and in the sole discretion of any Issuing Lender any Letter of Credit may have an expiry date of greater than 364 days (in each case, which shall not extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above, unless consented to by the applicable Issuing Lender in its sole discretion and, at the time of the issuance or renewal, as applicable, the applicable Borrower provides cash collateral in an amount equal to at least 103% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit or the applicable Borrower undertakes such other backstop arrangement providing for equivalent coverage with respect to such Letter of Credit as such Issuing Lender may approve in its sole discretion). Letter of Credit outstandings will reduce availability under the Letter of Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Consistent with the Existing LC Facility (as defined below), no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the face amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment or (ii) the sum of the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit (such sum, "L/C Exposure") would exceed the total Letter of Credit Commitments.
   Drawings under any Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the applicable Borrower within one business day. To the extent that the applicable Borrower does not so reimburse the Issuing Lender, the Lenders under the Letter of Credit Facility shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to fund participations in the reimbursement obligations on a pro rata basis.

4


   Letters of Credit shall be supported by cash collateral as described below.
Use of Proceeds:    The Letters of Credit shall be used to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.
Accordion:    The Credit Documentation will permit the Company from time to time after December 31, 2020, on one or more occasions, to increase the amount of the Letter of Credit Commitments (each, a "Letter of Credit Commitment Increase" and, collectively, the "Letter of Credit Commitment Increases"); provided that the Letter of Credit Commitment Increases do not exceed in the aggregate $500 million.
   The availability of the Letter of Credit Commitment Increases will be subject solely to the following terms and conditions:
   (a) no existing Lender will be required to participate in any Letter of Credit Commitment Increase without its consent;
   (b) no default or event of default under the Credit Facilities shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto;
   (c) the accuracy in all material respects (and in all respects if qualified by materiality) of all representations and warranties in the Credit Documentation (except any representations and warranties which expressly relate to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date); and
   (d) all terms of such Letter of Credit Commitment Increase (including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, guarantees, security, maturity and letter of credit fees, but excluding upfront fees) shall be the same as the terms applicable to the Letter of Credit Facility and such Letter of Credit Commitment Increase shall constitute part of the Letter of Credit Facility.
   The Company may seek commitments in respect of the Letter of Credit Commitment Increases from existing Issuing Lenders (each of which will be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and/or additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders or investors who will become Issuing Lenders in connection therewith (in the case of such additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders or investors, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), solely to the extent that such consent would be required for an assignment to such Issuing Lender).

5


   The Credit Documentation will be amended to give effect to any Letter of Credit Commitment Increase by documentation executed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the lenders making the commitments with respect thereto and, with respect to any lender making such commitments that is not an existing Lender, each Issuing Lender that would have a right to consent to an assignment of Letter of Credit Commitments to such lender as set forth in "Assignments and Participations" below (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without the consent of any other existing Lender).
B. Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility:
Type and Amount:    A senior secured delayed draw term loan A facility in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion (the "Delayed Draw Term Facility", the commitments thereunder, the "Delayed Draw Term Commitments" and the loans thereunder, the "Delayed Draw Term Loans" or the "Loans"). The Letter of Credit Commitments and the Delayed Draw Term Commitments are referred to herein collectively as the "Commitments".
   The Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall be denominated in US dollars and the Delayed Draw Term Facility shall be funded in US dollars.
Availability:    The Delayed Draw Term Facility will be available from the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on June 30, 2022 (the "Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date"); provided that (i) prior to receipt of financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020, only $1.0 billion of the Delayed Draw Term Facility shall be available, (ii) upon receipt of financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020, an additional $1.5 billion of the Delayed Draw Term Facility shall become available and (iii) upon receipt of financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, the remaining $1.5 billion of the Delayed Draw Term Facility shall become available (each date set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a "Delayed Draw Availability Date"); provided further that each drawing of the Delayed Draw Term Facility shall be in a minimum amount of $500 million (or if a lesser aggregate amount of Delayed Draw Term Commitments remain outstanding, such lesser amount). Foreign Borrowers shall only be permitted to utilize the Delayed Draw Term Facility subject to a sublimit to be mutually agreed. Each date on which the Delayed Draw Term Facility is funded is referred to herein as a "Delayed Draw Funding Date". Amounts repaid or prepaid under the Delayed Draw Term Facility may not be reborrowed.

6


Maturity and Amortization:    The Delayed Draw Term Facility will mature on the later of (i) the third anniversary of consummation of a Qualifying IPO and (ii) December 31, 2022 (the "Delayed Draw Term Maturity Date") and will amortize, commencing with the last day of the first fiscal quarter ending after the first anniversary of the initial Delayed Draw Funding Date in an amount per quarter equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loans funded on each Delayed Draw Funding Date, with any balance due and payable on the Delayed Draw Term Maturity Date.
Use of Proceeds:    The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loans will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.
3. CERTAIN PAYMENT PROVISIONS
Fees and Interest Rates:    As set forth on Annex I.
Optional Prepayments and Commitment Reductions:    Loans may be prepaid and/or Commitments may be reduced, in whole or in part without premium or penalty, subject to the "Prepayment Premium" set forth below, in minimum amounts of $1 million or a whole multiple thereof, at the option of the applicable Borrower at any time upon one day's (or, in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans (as defined in Annex I hereto), three days') prior written notice, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders' redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans prior to the last day of the relevant interest period.
   All voluntary prepayments of the Delayed Draw Term Loans will be applied to the remaining amortization payments under the Delayed Draw Term Facility as directed by the applicable Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof).
   In the event that all or any portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loans is repaid (other than pursuant to clause (A) or (C) of "Mandatory Prepayments") or repriced or effectively refinanced through any waiver, consent or amendment (including as a result of acceleration), such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement or repricing will be made (i) if prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at 102% of the principal amount repaid, repriced or effectively refinanced, (ii) if on or following the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, at 101% of the principal amount repaid, repriced or effectively refinanced and (iii) if on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, at par (the "Prepayment Premium"). If all or any portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loans (or Delayed Draw Term Commitments) held by any Lender is assigned, repaid or replaced pursuant to a "yank-a-bank" or similar provision in the Loan Documents as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or

7


   otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent or amendment referred to in the previous sentence or for not consenting to a change in the prepayment premium provisions, such Lender shall be paid the Prepayment Premium it would have otherwise received under the Loan Documents in effect immediately prior to such amendment, waiver or consent upon the related assignment, repayment or replacement.
Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions:    Letter of Credit Facility: None, subject to customary prepayment and cash collateralization requirements if utilization under the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the commitments thereunder.
   Delayed Draw Term Facility: Mandatory prepayments and mandatory commitment reductions of the Delayed Draw Term Facility shall be required from:
   (A) 100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (including insurance and condemnation proceeds) in excess of an amount to be agreed and subject to the right of the Company to reinvest 100% of such proceeds if such proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) within 450 days and, if so committed to be reinvested, so long as such reinvestment is actually completed within 180 days after the end of such 450 day period, and other exceptions to be agreed; provided that any such net cash proceeds shall first be applied to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit up to the full face amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit;
   (B) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of debt of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries after the Closing Date (excluding debt permitted under the Credit Documentation); and
   (C) 50% (with a stepdown to 0% if as of the last day of such fiscal quarter the Borrower is in compliance with each Financial Covenant) of Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in a customary manner to be agreed) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; provided that any voluntary prepayments of Delayed Draw Term Loans during the applicable fiscal quarter or after quarter-end and prior to the time such Excess Cash Flow prepayment is due, other than prepayments funded with the proceeds of indebtedness, shall be credited against Excess Cash Flow prepayment obligations for such fiscal quarter on a dollar-for-dollar basis (without duplication of any such credit in any prior fiscal quarter).
   Such mandatory prepayments shall be applied first to reduce any outstanding Delayed Draw Term Commitments on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and second to prepay any outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans.

4. COLLATERAL   
Collateral:    Subject to exclusions and limitations to be agreed, the obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors in respect of (i) the Credit Facilities, (ii) any interest rate protection, currency exchange or other hedging arrangements entered into with the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender and (iii) any cash management arrangements entered into with the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), at the Closing Date or at time of the entering into of such arrangements, shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of the tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, intellectual property, fee-owned real property and all of the capital stock of its direct subsidiaries) of the Company and the Domestic Guarantors; provided that the obligations of each Foreign Borrower and Foreign Guarantor in respect of the Credit Facilities shall, subject to customary agreed security principles to be agreed, also be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of the tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, intellectual property, fee-owned real property and all of the capital stock of its direct subsidiaries) of the Foreign Borrowers and Foreign Guarantors.
  

(a)   The collateral shall not include the following:

  

(i) (A) any fee owned real property having a value of less than $10 million and (B) any real property leasehold rights and interests (it being understood there shall be no requirement to obtain any landlord or other third party waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters) or any fixtures affixed to any real property to the extent (A) such real property does not constitute collateral and (B) a security interest in such fixtures may not be perfected by a UCC-1 financing statement in the jurisdiction of organization of any Borrower or any Guarantor,

  

(ii) motor vehicles, aircraft and other assets subject to certificates of title and immaterial commercial tort claims,

  

(iii) letter of credit rights (other than to the extent consisting of supporting obligations that can be perfected solely by the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement (it being understood that no actions shall be required to perfect a security interest in letter of credit rights other than filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement)),


9


  

(iv) any governmental licenses or state or local franchises, charters and authorizations, to the extent a security interest in any such license, franchise, charter or authorization is prohibited or restricted thereby (excluding any prohibition or restriction that is ineffective under the Uniform Commercial Code),

  

(v) pledges and security interests prohibited or restricted by applicable law, rule or regulation (including any requirement to obtain the consent of any governmental authority, regulatory authority or third party unless such consent has been obtained),

  

(vi) (A) margin stock and (B) equity interests in joint ventures and non-wholly-owned subsidiaries to the extent a pledge of such equity interests would be prohibited by the applicable joint venture agreement or organizational documents of such joint venture or non-wholly-owned subsidiary,

  

(vii) any lease, license or agreement, or any property subject to a purchase money security interest, capital lease obligation or similar arrangement, in each case, to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein to secure the Facilities would violate or invalidate such lease, license or agreement or purchase money or similar arrangement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto (other than a Borrower or a restricted subsidiary) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition,

  

(viii) any assets to the extent a security interest in such assets would result in material adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with the Administrative Agent,

  

(ix) any intent-to-use application trademark application prior to the filing, and acceptance by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, of a "Statement of Use" or "Amendment to Allege Use" with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable federal law,


10
