ICE unconditionally and irrevocably, as a continuing obligation, guarantees, for as long as the Issuer remains a Subsidiary of New ICE Parent that is consolidated in New ICE Parent’s financial statements and an obligor on the Notes, to each Beneficiary the payment of any sums expressed to be payable by the Issuer to the Noteholders or, as the case may be, the Couponholders under the Conditions, as and when the same become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon early redemption, upon acceleration or otherwise.

The obligations of ICE under this Guarantee are direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of ICE and (subject as aforesaid and save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) rank and will rank pari passu with all other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of ICE, present and future from time to time outstanding, but, in the event of insolvency, only to the extent permitted by applicable laws relating to creditors’ rights.

Each payment by ICE shall be in satisfaction of the relevant covenant to pay by the Issuer pursuant to the Conditions (except to the extent that there is a default in a subsequent payment).

ICE agrees, as an independent primary obligation, that it shall pay to the Beneficiaries on demand sums sufficient to indemnify the Beneficiaries against any loss sustained by such Beneficiaries by reason of the non-payment as and when the same shall become due and payable of any sum expressed to be payable by the Issuer to the Noteholders or, as the case may be, the Couponholders under the Conditions.

All payments in respect of the Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons by or on behalf of ICE shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Relevant Jurisdiction, unless the withholding or deduction of the Taxes is required by law; in that event, ICE will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the relevant Beneficiary after the withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons in the absence of the withholding or deduction, except that no additional amounts shall be payable in relation to any payment in respect of any Note or Coupon:

4

If ICE is, in respect of any payment in respect of the Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons, compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes as contemplated by this Clause 3.3 (Payment without Withholding), ICE shall give notice to the Fiscal Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to make the withholding or deduction and shall give to the Fiscal Agent such information as the Fiscal Agent shall require to enable it to comply with the requirement.

ICE agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, and that it shall be fully liable irrespective of the validity, regularity, legality or enforceability of this Guarantee, the Transaction Documents or the Conditions, or any change in or amendment hereto or thereto, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver, authorisation or consent by the Beneficiaries with respect to any provision of this Guarantee, the Transaction Documents or the Conditions, the obtaining of any judgment against the Issuer or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defence of a guarantor.

5

ICE’s obligations under this Guarantee are and will remain in full force and effect by way of continuing security until no sum remains payable under the Conditions or this Guarantee expires in accordance with Clause 3.1 hereof. Furthermore, these obligations of ICE are additional to, and not instead of, any security or other guarantee or indemnity at any time existing in favour of any person, whether from ICE or otherwise; and may be enforced without first having recourse to the Issuer, any other person, any security or any other guarantee or indemnity.

ICE shall be subrogated to all rights of the Beneficiaries against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by ICE pursuant hereto; provided that ICE shall not without the consent of the relevant Beneficiary be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon or prove in any insolvency or winding up of the Issuer in respect of, such right of subrogation until such time as the principal of and interest on all outstanding Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons and all other amounts due under this Guarantee and the Transaction Documents have been paid in full. Furthermore, until such time as aforesaid, ICE shall not take any security or counter indemnity from the Issuer in respect of ICE’s obligations under this Clause 3 (Guarantees).

If any payment received by the Beneficiaries pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Transaction Documents shall, on the subsequent bankruptcy, insolvency, corporate reorganisation or other similar event affecting the Issuer, be avoided, reduced, invalidated or set aside under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, corporate reorganisation or other similar events, such payment shall not be considered as discharging or diminishing the liability of ICE whether as guarantor, principal debtor or indemnifier and the guarantee and indemnity contained in this Clause 3 (Guarantees) shall continue to apply as if such payment had at all times remained owing by the Issuer and ICE shall indemnify and keep indemnified each Beneficiary on the terms of the guarantee and indemnity contained in this Clause 3 (Guarantees).

This Guarantee:

Notwithstanding anything else herein, ICE shall be released from its obligations under this Guarantee and this Guarantee shall terminate, without any need for further action by the Fiscal Agent or any Noteholder or Couponholder, if and when ICE is no longer (or substantially simultaneously with such release will no longer be) an obligor (either borrower or guarantor) under the Credit Agreement.

6

Any notice required to be given under this Guarantee to ICE shall be in English and shall be sent by pre-paid post (first class if inland, first class airmail if overseas) to its principal office at 2100 RiverEdge Parkway, Suite 500, Atlanta, GA 30328, United States.

Any such notice shall take effect when delivered by post, three days, in the case of inland post, or seven days, in the case of overseas post, after despatch.

The provisions of this Guarantee and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

ICE irrevocably agrees for the benefit of the Beneficiaries that the courts of England are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with this Guarantee (including a dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee) and accordingly submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. ICE waives any objection to the courts of England on the ground that they are an inconvenient or inappropriate forum.

ICE irrevocably and unconditionally appoints ICE Europe Parent Limited (to the attention of the Company Secretary) at its registered office for the time being as its agent for service of process in respect of any Proceedings (as defined in the Conditions) and undertakes that in the event of it ceasing so to act it will appoint such other person with a registered office in London as its agent for that purpose.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

No person shall have any right to enforce any provision of this Deed under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF this Guarantee has been executed as a deed by the parties hereto and is intended to be and is hereby delivered on the date first before written.
