Item 5. Other Events
Effective October 17, 2002, Lucent Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a letter agreement dated October 16, 2002, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. The letter agreement amends the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (as amended, the “Collateral Agreement”), dated as of February 22, 2001, made by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Collateral Agent. The letter agreement, among other things, extends the termination date of the Collateral Agreement until November 18, 2002, subject to additional extensions at discretion of the Company. Without the letter agreement, the Collateral Agreement would have terminated on October 17, 2002. The extension enables certain creditors of the Company to continue to have the benefit of the Collateral Agreement, which includes guarantees of the subsidiaries of the Company that are signatories and liens on assets of the Company and these subsidiaries. The foregoing is a summary of the letter agreement and is not a complete description of all of the terms and conditions of the letter agreement.
