The Guarantor maintains internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as disclosed or incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there are no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the Guarantor’s internal controls.

(y) Compliance with OFAC. The Guarantor will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department.

(z) No Broker’s Fees. Neither the Guarantor nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person (other than this Agreement) that would give rise to a valid claim against any Underwriter for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities.

(aa) No Stabilization. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities.

(bb) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Guarantor is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”).

4. Further Agreements of the Company and the Guarantor. The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally covenant and agree with each Underwriter that:

(a) Required Filings. The Company and the Guarantor will file the final Prospectus with the Commission within the time periods specified by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430B under the Securities Act, will file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including the Pricing Term Sheet referred to in Annex A hereto) to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act; and the Company and the Guarantor will file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company and the Guarantor with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities; and the Company and the Guarantor will furnish, or cause to be furnished, copies of the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent not previously delivered) to the Underwriters in New York City prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the business day next succeeding the date of this Agreement in such quantities as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the registration fees for this offering within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act (without giving effect to the proviso therein) and in any event prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Delivery of Copies. The Company and the Guarantor will deliver, without charge, (i) to the Representatives, two signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto, in each case including all exhibits and consents filed therewith and documents incorporated by reference therein; and (ii) to each Underwriter (A) a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto, in each case including all exhibits and consents filed therewith and (B) during the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below), as many copies of the Prospectus (including all amendments and supplements thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as the Representatives may reasonably request. As used herein, the term “Prospectus Delivery Period” means such period of time after the first date of the public offering of the Securities as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters a prospectus relating to the Securities is required by law to be delivered (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Securities Act) in connection with sales of the Securities by any Underwriter or dealer.

(c) Amendments or Supplements; Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Before using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, whether before or after the time that the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company and the Guarantor will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement for review and will not use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably object.

(d) Notice to the Representatives. From the date hereof until the end of the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company and the Guarantor will advise the Representatives promptly, and confirm such advice in writing (which advice may be delivered via e-mail), (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective; (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional information; (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or the initiation or threatening in writing of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of the occurrence of any event within the Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (vi) of the receipt by the Company and the Guarantor of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and (vii) of the receipt by the Company and the Guarantor of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offer and

sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company and the Guarantor will use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Securities and, if any such order is issued, will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(e) Time of Sale Information. If at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which any of the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel to the Guarantor or counsel to the Underwriters, to amend or supplement any of the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company and the Guarantor will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters, such amendments or supplements to any of the Time of Sale Information (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in any of the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or so that any of the Time of Sale Information will comply with law.

(f) Ongoing Compliance. If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel to the Guarantor or counsel to the Underwriters, to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company the Guarantor will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented (including such documents to be incorporated by reference therein) will not, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law.

(g) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company and the Guarantor will cooperate with the Underwriters to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for distribution of the Securities; provided that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to (i)

qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

(h) Earning Statement. The Guarantor will make generally available to its security holders and the Representatives as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 16 months after the effective date (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act), an earning statement (which need not be audited) that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (including, at the option of the Guarantor, Rule 158).

(i) Clear Market. During the period from the date hereof through and including the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantor will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or the Guarantor and having a tenor of more than one year.

(j) Use of Proceeds. The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in each of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds”.

(k) DTC. The Company will assist the Underwriters in arranging for the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.

(l) No Stabilization. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities.

(m) Record Retention. The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

5. Certain Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents to the Company and the Guarantor and agrees that:

(a) It has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Company and the Guarantor and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Company and the Guarantor) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely as a result of use by such Underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex A or prepared pursuant to Section 3A(c) or 3B(c) or Section 4(c) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter and approved by the Guarantor in advance in writing (each such free writing prospectus referred to in clauses (i) or (iii), an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters may use the Pricing Term Sheet referred to in Annex A hereto without the consent of the Guarantor.

(b) It is not subject to any pending proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act with respect to the offering (and will promptly notify the Company and the Guarantor if any such proceeding against it is initiated during the Prospectus Delivery Period).

6. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The obligation of each Underwriter to purchase Securities on the Closing Date as provided herein is subject to the performance by the Company and the Guarantor of their respective covenants and other obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a) Registration Compliance; No Stop Order. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect, and no proceeding for such purpose, pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or pursuant to Section 8A under the Securities Act, shall be pending before or threatened by the Commission; the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been timely filed with the Commission under the Securities Act (in the case of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act) and in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof; and all requests by the Commission for additional information shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Representatives.

(d) No Material Adverse Change. No event or condition of a type described in Section 3B(g) hereof shall have occurred or shall exist, which event or condition is not described in each of the Time of Sale Information (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto after the Time of Sale) and the Prospectus (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which in the judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(e) Officer's Certificate. The Representatives shall have received on and as of the Closing Date a certificate of an executive officer of the Company and of the Guarantor reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives (i) confirming that such officer has carefully reviewed the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and, to the best knowledge of such officer, the representations made by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, set forth in Sections 3A(b) and 3A(d) with respect to the Company and Sections 3B(b) and 3B(d) with respect to the Guarantor hereof are true and correct, (ii) confirming that, to the best knowledge of such officer, the other representations and warranties made by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, in this Agreement are true and correct and that the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date and (iii) to the effect set forth in paragraph (b) above with respect to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, and to the effect that no event or condition of a type described in Section 3B(g) hereof shall have occurred or shall exist.

On the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP shall have furnished to the Representatives, at the request of the Company and the Guarantor, letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof and addressed to the Underwriters, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off” date no more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Opinion and 10b-5 Statement of Counsel for the Company. (i) Baker Botts L.L.P., U.S. counsel for the Company and the Guarantor, shall have furnished to the Representatives, at the request of the Company and the Guarantor, their written opinion and 10b-5 statement, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect set forth in Annex C hereto; (ii) Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg S.a.r.l., Luxembourg counsel for the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives as well as to Bank of New York Mellon, at the request of the Company, their written opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect set forth in Annex D hereto; (iii) STvB Advocaten, Curacao counsel for the Guarantor, shall have furnished to the Representatives, at the request of the Guarantor, their written opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect set forth in Annex E hereto; and (iv) Alexander C.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, agents, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the

Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except (x) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company and the Guarantor in writing through the Representatives expressly for use therein and (y) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which pertains exclusively to the Company, only the Company and the Guarantor shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless as set forth in this Section 7(a).

(b) Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantor. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantor, each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company and the Guarantor in writing through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following information set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Underwriting”: the names of the Underwriters provided in paragraph 1 and the table immediately following paragraph 1, paragraph 3, sentences 3 and 4 in paragraph 7 and paragraph 8.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the

Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses reasonably incurred of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses reasonably incurred shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantor, their respective directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantor shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel reasonably incurred as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (after deducting discounts and commissions to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantor from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives (except as provided in clause (iv) below), by prior notice to the Guarantor, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or the Guarantor shall have been suspended on any exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

9. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any one or more Underwriters defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder and the default exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantor on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any one or more Underwriters, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Guarantor shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of any one or more defaulting Underwriters, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Guarantor may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of U.S. counsel for the Company and the Guarantor or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Guarantor agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that one or more defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Guarantor shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter's pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Guarantor as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Guarantor shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the Guarantor, except that the Company and the Guarantor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 10 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

Settlement and Sale of the Notes

The Issuer expects to deliver the Notes against payment for the Notes on or about December 3, 2013 which will be the fifth business day following November 25, 2013, the date of the pricing of the Notes. Since trades in the secondary market generally settle in three business days, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling Citigroup Global Markets Inc. toll-free at 1-800-831-9146, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. toll-free at 1-800-503-4611 and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC collect at 1-212-834-4533.

ANNEX C

Form of Opinion and 10b-5 Statement of Baker Botts L.L.P.

The opinion and 10b-5 statement of U.S. counsel for the Company and the Guarantor, to be delivered pursuant to Section 6(g)(i) of this Agreement, shall be to the effect that:

This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of November 25, 2013 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among Schlumberger Investment SA, a company organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Company”), Schlumberger Limited, a company organized under the laws of Curaçao (the “Guarantor”), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale by the Company of $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.650% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The Notes are to be guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by the Guarantor. The Notes and the related Guarantee are to be issued under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of December 3, 2013, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The Company and the Guarantor have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-190822), including a prospectus dated August 26, 2013 (the “Basic Prospectus”) relating to the registration of the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of debt securities by the Company and the guarantee of the Guarantor related thereto. Such registration statement (including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein), as amended and supplemented as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The final prospectus supplement dated November 25, 2013 relating to the Notes and the Guarantee, together with the Basic Prospectus, as first filed with the Commission on November 26, 2013 pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b), including all documents incorporated by reference therein, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” The preliminary prospectus supplement subject to completion dated November 25, 2013 relating to the Notes and the Guarantee, together with the Basic Prospectus, as first filed with the Commission on November 25, 2013 pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b), including all documents incorporated by reference therein, is hereinafter referred to as the “Preliminary Prospectus.” The final term sheet setting forth the terms of the Notes and the Guarantee as filed with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 433(d) on November 25, 2013 and the Preliminary Prospectus are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Time of Sale Information.”

C-1

We have examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified, of (i) Registration Statement, (ii) the Time of Sale Information, (iii) the Prospectus, (iii) the Underwriting Agreement, (iv) the Indenture (including the Guarantee), (v) the forms of the Notes, (vi) certificates of public officials and of representatives of the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, (vii) the agreements and instruments identified to us by an officer of the Guarantor as material to the Guarantor and listed in Exhibit A hereto (the “Specified Agreements”) and (viii) statutes and other instruments and documents, as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In giving the opinions set forth below, we have relied without independent investigation or verification upon certificates and representations of officers or other representatives of the Companies and of public officials, the Guarantor and the Trustee, including without limitation, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantor contained in the Underwriting Agreement, with respect to the accuracy of the factual matters contained therein. In making our examination, we have assumed that all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conformed with the originals of such documents.

On the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

The Indenture (including the Guarantee therein), assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by each of the parties thereto, constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of each of the Company and the Guarantor, enforceable against each of the Company and the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be subject to the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or remedies, to general principles of equity and public policy (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

The Notes, when duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, and assuming their due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, and further assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the parties thereto, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, in each case except as the enforceability thereof may be subject to the effect of any Enforceability Exceptions.

The Notes, the Guarantee and the Indenture conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Notes” insofar as such descriptions purport to summarize certain provisions of documents or legal matters.

C-2

The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes by the Company and the Guarantor, and the issue and sale of the Notes by the Company and the Guarantee by the Guarantor to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, do not on the date hereof result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any Specified Agreement, nor will such actions result in any violation of any United Stated federal or New York State statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Guarantor (assuming compliance with all applicable federal and state antifraud laws and state securities laws).

No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority is required under United States federal law or any New York State statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Guarantor for the issue and sale of the Notes by the Company and the Guarantee by the Guarantor to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and except such as may have been required under applicable state securities laws, as to which we have not been asked to, and we do not, express any opinion, and those which have been previously obtained.

Neither of the Company or the Guarantor is and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” none will be, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

We have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantor, with representatives of the Guarantor’s independent registered public accounting firm and with your representatives and your counsel, at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. The purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, and we have not undertaken to verify independently any of the factual matters in such documents. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature. Accordingly, we are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (except to the extent stated in paragraph 3 above). Subject to the foregoing, and on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, we advise you that nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that:

C-3

(1) the Registration Statement, as of the latest Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the states therein not misleading,

(2) the Time of Sale Information, as of the Time of Sale, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

(3) the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date hereof, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

it being understood that in each case we have not been asked to, and do not, express any belief with respect to (a) the financial statements and schedules or other financial or accounting information included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom, (b) representations and warranties and other statements of fact contained in the exhibits to documents incorporated by reference therein or (c) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1.

Various issues pertaining to (i) Luxembourg law are addressed in the opinion of Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg S.a.r.l. furnished to you pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Underwriting Agreement and (ii) Curaçao law are addressed in the opinion of STvB Advocaten furnished to you pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Underwriting Agreement. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the opinions or conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters.

C-4

The opinions set forth above are, subject to any further limitations specified herein, limited in all respects to the applicable laws of the State New York and applicable United States federal law, in each case as in effect on the date hereof. The Trustee is authorized to accept and rely on the opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above in the same manner as if such opinions were addressed to the Trustee. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, this letter is solely for your benefit as representatives of the Underwriters and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose. No other use or distribution of this letter may be made without our prior written consent. This letter speaks as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any obligation to update it.

Very truly yours,
