Section 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority. Each Obligor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligor has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and

-5-

deliver each Financing Agreement to which it is a party (including in the case of the Company, the Notes) and to perform its obligations pursuant to the provisions hereof and thereof.

Section 5.2. Authorization, Etc. Each Financing Agreement to which an Obligor is a party (including in the case of the Company, the Notes) has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Obligor, and each Financing Agreement to which an Obligor is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance laws or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 5.3. Disclosure. The Obligors, through their agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, have delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Private Placement Memorandum, dated June 2015 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries. The Financing Agreements, the Memorandum and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Obligors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3, and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 (the Financing Agreements, the Memorandum and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser prior to June 30, 2015 being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2014, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Obligors or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known by any Obligor that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries (including the Company), showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Parent Guarantor and each other Subsidiary.

-6-

(b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Obligors or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).

(c) Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and, where legally applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and, where legally applicable, is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than any Financing Agreement, the agreements listed in Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

Section 5.5. Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Obligors have delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries listed in Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments). The Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed on such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance of its obligations by each Obligor of each Financing Agreement to which such Obligor is a party (including in the case of the Company, the Notes) will not (i) result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of either Obligor or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter, memorandum of association, articles of association, regulations or by-laws, shareholders agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which either Obligor or any Subsidiary is bound or by which any Obligor or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) violate any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to either Obligor or any Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any Subsidiary.

-7-

Section 5.7. Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by any Obligor pursuant to any statute, regulation, or rule applicable to it as a condition to the effectiveness or the enforceability of the execution, delivery or performance by either Obligor of any Financing Agreement to which it is a party (including in the case of the Company, the Notes), including, without limitation, any thereof required in connection with the obtaining of Dollars to make payments under the Financing Agreements (including in the case of the Company, the Notes) and the payment of such Dollars to Persons resident in the United States of America. It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence in The Netherlands of any Financing Agreement or the Notes that any thereof or any other document be filed, recorded or enrolled with any Governmental Authority, or that any such agreement or document be stamped with any stamp, registration or similar transaction tax.

Section 5.8. Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of either Obligor, threatened against or affecting either Obligor or any Subsidiary or any property of either Obligor or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) None of the Obligors or any Subsidiary is (i) in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to it (including, without limitation and if applicable, Environmental Laws, the USA Patriot Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9. Taxes. Each Obligor and each Subsidiary has filed all Material tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which either Obligor or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Obligors know of no basis for any other tax or assessment that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries in respect of federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The tax liabilities for the account of any Governmental Authority of The Netherlands of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (excluding The Shaw Group Inc.) have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The U.S. federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and of The Shaw Group Inc., in each case, have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations

-8-

having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

No liability for any Tax, directly or indirectly, imposed, assessed, levied or collected by or for the account of any Governmental Authority of The Netherlands or any political subdivision thereof will be incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any holder of a Note as a result of the execution or delivery of any Financing Agreement or the Notes and no deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes imposed by or for the account of The Netherlands or, to the knowledge of the Parent Guarantor, any other Taxing Jurisdiction, is required to be made from any payment by the Parent Guarantor under any Financing Agreement or the Notes except for any such liability, withholding or deduction imposed, assessed, levied or collected by or for the account of any such Governmental Authority of The Netherlands arising out of circumstances described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 13.

Section 5.10. Title to Property; Leases. Each Obligor and its Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by either Obligor or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases in which an Obligor or Initial Subsidiary Guarantor is a party as a lessee, which individually or in the aggregate are Material, are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects.

Section 5.11. Licenses, Permits, Etc. (a) Each Obligor and its Subsidiaries owns or possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others.

(b) To the best knowledge of each Obligor, no product of either Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person.

(c) To the best knowledge of each Obligor, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of either Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries.

Section 5.12. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Each Obligor and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Obligor nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to Employee Benefit Plans, and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by any Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV

-9-

of ERISA or to section 430(k) of the Code or to any such penalty or excise tax provisions under the Code or federal law or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material.

(b) The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than $51,500,000 in the case of any single Plan and by more than $56,900,000 in the aggregate for all Plans. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Non-U.S. Plan that is funded, determined as of the end of the Parent Guarantor’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of reasonable actuarial assumptions, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Non-U.S. Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than $156,800,000. The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.

(c) None of the Obligors or their ERISA Affiliates have incurred (i) withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material or (ii) any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Non U.S. Plan.

(d) The expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Parent Guarantor’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of any Obligor and its Subsidiaries is $51,500,000.

(e) The execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. The representation by the Obligors to each Purchaser in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser.

(f) All Non-U.S. Plans have been established, operated, administered and maintained in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders applicable thereto, except where failure so to comply could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All premiums, contributions and any other amounts required by applicable Non-U.S. Plan documents or applicable laws to be paid or accrued by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries have been paid or accrued as required, except where failure so to pay or accrue would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Notes hereunder for general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, to repay outstanding revolving loans). No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, (a) for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any Securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220) or (b) to finance dealings or transactions with any Person described or designated in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List published by OFAC or in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order. Margin stock does not constitute more than 5% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 5% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.

-11-

(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, neither any Obligor nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.6.

-19-

exists (including, without limitation, any such event or condition resulting from the failure of any Obligor or any Subsidiary to comply with any Environmental Law), specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Obligors shall have taken or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Promptly after a request therefor from any Purchaser or holder of Notes that is an Institutional Investor, the Obligors will provide such holder with a written opinion of counsel (which may be addressed to the Obligors) relied upon as to any requested information that the Obligors are prohibited from disclosing to such holder under circumstances described in this Section 7.4.


SECTION 8.	PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1. Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall be due and payable on the stated maturity date thereof.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of such Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes, other than any offer of prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.5, 8.7 or 10.3 that has been rejected by any holder or holders of Notes, the principal amount of the Notes to be repaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

Section 8.4. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the

-21-

interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Obligors will not and will not permit any of their Affiliates to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) to a written offer to purchase any outstanding Notes made by any Obligor or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of the Notes upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the Required Holders accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of Notes of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 5 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by either Obligor or any of their Affiliates pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount.

“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% (i.e., 50 basis points) over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such

-22-

Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, .50% (i.e., 50 basis points) over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

-23-

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Change of Control. (a) Notice of Change of Control. The Obligors will, within 20 Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change of Control give written notice of such Change of Control to each holder of Notes. If a Change of Control has occurred, such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.7 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (e) of this Section 8.7.

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.7 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). If such Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.7, such date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the 45th day after the date of such offer).

(c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company at least 5 Business Days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7, or to accept an offer as to all of the Notes held by the holder, in each case on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment.

(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid; (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or proposed date of the Change of Control.

(f) Effect on Required Payments. The amount of each payment of the principal of the Notes made pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be applied against and reduce each of the then remaining principal payments due pursuant to Section 8.1 by a percentage equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so paid divided by the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding immediately prior to such payment.

-24-

(g) “Change of Control” Defined. “Change of Control” means an event or series of events by which:

(1) any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d‑3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power of the then outstanding Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors of the Parent Guarantor; or

(2) the majority of the board of directors of the Company fails to consist of Continuing Directors; or

(3) except as expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Obligor or any Subsidiary that is a borrower under the Credit Agreement (each, a “Subsidiary Borrower”) consolidates with or merges into another Person or conveys, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its property to any Person, or any Person consolidates with or merges into an Obligor or any Subsidiary Borrower, in either event pursuant to a transaction in which the outstanding Capital Stock of such Obligor or such Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, is reclassified or changed into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property; or

(4) except as otherwise expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Parent Guarantor shall cease to own and control, either directly or indirectly, all of the economic and voting rights associated with all of the outstanding Capital Stock of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors or shall cease to have the power, directly or indirectly, to elect all of the members of the board of directors of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.


SECTION 9.	AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

Each Obligor, jointly and severally, covenants that from the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Law. Without limiting Section 10.5, each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA Patriot Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-25-

Section 9.2. Insurance. Each Obligor will, and, if not maintained by an Obligor, will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent either Obligor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and such Obligor has concluded that such discontinuance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims . Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of either Obligor or any Subsidiary, provided that neither any Obligor nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by such Obligor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and such Obligor or such Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of such Obligor or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc. Subject to Section 10.2, each Obligor will at all times preserve and keep its corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3, each Obligor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into either Obligor or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Obligors, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over such Obligor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets. The

-26-

Company and its Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets and the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

Section 9.7. Pari Passu Ranking. The Notes (in the case of the Company) and all other obligations under this Agreement of each Obligor are and at all times shall remain direct and unsecured obligations of such Obligor ranking at least pari passu in right of payment with all Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and all other present and future unsecured Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of such Obligor that is not expressed to be subordinate or junior in rank to any other unsecured Indebtedness of such Obligor.

Section 9.8. Subsidiary Guarantors. The Obligors will cause the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors and, after the date of Closing, any Subsidiary which is required by the terms of any Credit Agreement to become obligated for, or otherwise guarantee, Indebtedness of either Obligor in respect of any Credit Agreement, to deliver to each of the holders of the Notes (concurrently with the incurrence of any such obligation) the following items:

(a) a duly executed Subsidiary Guarantee in scope, form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders or a joinder agreement in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable;

(b) a certificate signed by an authorized Responsible Officer of each Obligor making representations and warranties to the effect of those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.19, with respect to such Subsidiary and its Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable; and

(c) in the case that any such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary, an opinion of counsel addressed to each of the holders of the Notes reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, to the effect that the Subsidiary Guarantee by such Person has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and that the Subsidiary Guarantee constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as an enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles and containing other usual and customary assumptions, qualifications and exceptions.

If any Subsidiary otherwise required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 9.8 is a joint venture or unincorporated association, and such Subsidiary’s becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be restricted by such Subsidiary’s constitutive documents, then, provided such Subsidiary is not obligated under any Credit Agreement for more than the Limited Guarantee Amount, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Financing Agreement, the obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Guaranty shall not be required to exceed the amount (the “Limited Guarantee Amount”) that may be so guaranteed under applicable Requirements of Law (including, without limitation,

-27-

the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act and the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act), multiplied by the percentage of such Subsidiary’s outstanding Capital Stock or interest in the profits owned, in each case, by the Company or any of its other Subsidiaries.

Section 9.9. Maintenance of Ownership. The Company shall at all times remain a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor shall at all times own, directly or indirectly, 100% of all equity interests and voting interests of the Company free and clear of any Lien.

Section 9.10. Maintenance of Rating on Notes. From and after the Closing, the Company will at all times maintain a rating by DBRS, Inc. (or any successor thereto) on the Notes.

Section 9.11. Most Favored Lender Status.

(a) If at any time after the date of this Agreement any Credit Agreement contains a covenant (whether constituting a covenant or event of default) by an Obligor (i) to maintain the Leverage Ratio (or a similar covenant or limitation on Indebtedness contained in any such Credit Agreement) at a level more favorable to the lenders under such Credit Agreement than the level set forth in Section 10.7, (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Consolidated Net Worth (or a similar covenant contained in any such Credit Agreement) at a level more favorable to the lenders under such Credit Agreement than the level set forth in Section 10.8, or (iii) to maintain the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or a similar covenant contained in any such Credit Agreement) at a level more favorable to the lenders under such Credit Agreement than the level set forth in Section 10.9 (any such provision, together with all definitions and interpretive provisions from such Credit Agreement to the extent used in relation thereto, a “Most Favorable Covenant”), then the Obligors shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice in respect of such Most Favorable Covenant. Such Most Favorable Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such Most Favorable Covenant shall have become effective under such Credit Agreement (unless such date is prior to the date of the Closing, in which case such covenant will be deemed incorporated effective as of the date of the Closing). Thereafter, upon the request of any holder of a Note, the Obligors shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by such holder to further evidence any of the foregoing.

(b) Any Most Favorable Covenant incorporated into this Agreement (herein referred to as an “Incorporated Covenant”) pursuant to this Section 9.11 (i) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments made to such Most Favorable Covenant under the applicable Credit Agreement (provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and the amendment of such Most Favorable Covenant would make such covenant less restrictive on the Company, then such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically amended at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists) and (ii) shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Most Favorable Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from the applicable Credit Agreement or such applicable Credit Agreement shall be terminated (provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists, then such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically deleted from

-28-

this Agreement at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists); provided, however, that if any fee or other consideration is paid to the lenders under such Credit Agreement for such amendment or deletion, the equivalent of such fee or other consideration shall be paid to the holders of the Notes upon the effectiveness of such amendment or deletion. Upon the occurrence of any event described in sub‑clause (i) of the preceding sentence, upon the request of the Obligors or any holder of Notes, the holders of Notes (if applicable) and the Obligors shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Obligors or a holder of Notes, as the case may be, evidencing the amendment of any such Incorporated Covenants. Upon the occurrence of any event described in sub‑clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, upon the request of the Obligors, the holders of Notes shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Obligors evidencing the deletion and termination of any such Incorporated Covenants.

(c) “Most Favored Lender Notice” means, in respect of any Most Favorable Covenant, a written notice to each of the holders of the Notes (and in the case if any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner, to such beneficial owner, rather than such nominee, on the date of such notice) delivered promptly, and in any event within ten Business Days after the inclusion of such Most Favorable Covenant in any Credit Agreement from a Responsible Officer referring to the provisions of this Section 9.11 and setting forth a reasonably detailed description of such Most Favorable Covenant and related explanatory calculations, as applicable.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 10.7, the minimum amount of Consolidated Net Worth set forth in Section 10.8 or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 10.9 and related definitions contained in this Agreement be deemed or construed to be loosened or relaxed by operation of the terms of this Section 9.11.

Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11, it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Obligors fail to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing; however, if such failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of the Closing that is specified in Section 3.


SECTION 10.	NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

Each Obligor, jointly and severally, covenants that from the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 10.1. Transactions with Affiliates. The Obligors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into directly or indirectly any Material transaction or Material group of related transactions (including without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than the Obligors or another Subsidiary), except in the ordinary course and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of any Obligor’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to such Obligor or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

-29-

Section 10.2. Merger, Consolidation, Etc. The Obligors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, consolidate with or merge with any other Person or convey, transfer or lease (as lessor) all or substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of related transactions to any Person except:

(a) the Parent Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of related transactions to, any other Person if (i) the successor formed by such consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent Guarantor as an entirety, as the case may be (the “Surviving Parent”), shall be a solvent corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of an Acceptable Jurisdiction, (ii) if the Parent Guarantor is not the Surviving Parent, the due and punctual performance and observation of all of the obligations in the Financing Agreements to be performed or observed by the Parent Guarantor are expressly assumed in writing by the Surviving Parent and the Surviving Parent shall furnish to the holders of the Notes an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel to the effect that each agreement or instrument effecting such assumption has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Surviving Parent enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles and containing other usual and customary assumptions, qualifications and exceptions, (iii) each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have confirmed and ratified in writing reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and (iv) immediately before and after giving effect to any such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

-30-

qualifications and exceptions, (iii) each of the Parent Guarantor and Subsidiary Guarantors shall have confirmed and ratified in writing reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders its obligations under the Parent Guarantee and Subsidiary Guarantee, respectively, and (iv) immediately before and after giving effect to any such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) any Subsidiary of any Obligor (other than the Company) may (x) consolidate with or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of related transactions to, (i) any Obligor or any other Subsidiary so long as in any merger or consolidation involving an Obligor, such Obligor shall be the surviving or continuing corporation or (ii) any other Person so long as the survivor is the Subsidiary, or (y) convey, transfer or lease all of its assets in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.3.

No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of any Obligor or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the effect of releasing any Obligor or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Surviving Parent, Surviving Company or any other Person that becomes the surviving or continuing Person in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.2 from its liability under the Financing Agreements, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable.

Section 10.3. Sales of Assets. Except as permitted in Section 10.2, the Obligors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of (including by way of merger, consolidation or amalgamation) any substantial part (as defined below) of the assets of the Obligors and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any Obligor or any Subsidiary may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of assets constituting a substantial part of the assets of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries if such assets are sold in an arms-length transaction and, at such time and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and an amount equal to the net proceeds received from such sale, lease or other disposition (but only with respect to that portion of such assets that exceeds the definition of “substantial part” set forth below) shall be used within 365 days of such sale, lease or disposition, in any combination:

(1) to acquire productive assets (which shall not include acquiring any equity interests of any Person) used or useful in carrying on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and having a value at least equal to the value of such assets sold, leased or otherwise disposed of; and/or

(2) to prepay or retire Senior Indebtedness of the Obligors and/or their Subsidiaries, provided that (i) the Company shall offer to prepay each outstanding Note in a principal amount which equals the Ratable Portion for such Note, and (ii) any such prepayment of the Notes shall be made at par, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment, but without the payment of Make-Whole Amount. Any offer of prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be given to each holder of the Notes by written notice that shall be delivered not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the proposed prepayment date.

-31-

Each such notice shall state that it is given pursuant to this Section and that the offer set forth in such notice must be accepted by such holder in writing and shall also set forth (i) the prepayment date, (ii) a description of the circumstances which give rise to the proposed prepayment and (iii) a calculation of the Ratable Portion for such holder’s Notes. Each holder of the Notes which desires to have its Notes prepaid shall notify the Company in writing delivered not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date of its acceptance of such offer of prepayment. A failure by a holder of Notes to notify the Company of its acceptance of an offer of prepayment pursuant to this Section 10.3 on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day preceding the proposed prepayment date shall be deemed a rejection of such offer of prepayment.

As used in this Section 10.3, a sale, lease or other disposition of assets shall be deemed to be a “substantial part” of the assets of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries if the book value of such assets, when added to the book value of all other assets sold, leased or otherwise disposed of by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries during the period of 12 consecutive months ending on the date of such sale, lease or other disposition, exceeds 20% of the book value of Consolidated Total Assets, determined as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such sale, lease or other disposition; provided that there shall be excluded from any determination of a “substantial part” any (i) sale or disposition of assets in the ordinary course of business of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries (including sales or dispositions of worthless, damaged or obsolete equipment), (ii) any transfer of assets from any Obligor to any Subsidiary or from any Subsidiary to any Obligor or another Subsidiary and (iii) any sale or disposition of property acquired by any Obligor or any Subsidiary after the date of this Agreement to any Person within 365 days following the acquisition or construction of such property by Obligor or such Subsidiary if an Obligor or such Subsidiary shall concurrently with such sale or other disposition, lease such property, as lessee.

Section 10.4. Line of Business. The Obligors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the date of this Agreement as described in the Memorandum.

-32-

Section 10.5. Terrorism Sanctions Regulations. No Obligor will or will permit any Controlled Entity (a) to become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or any Person that is the target of sanctions imposed by the United Nations or by the European Union, or (b) directly or indirectly to have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including, without limitation, any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of the Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction (i) would cause any holder to be in material violation of any U.S. Economic Sanctions applicable to such holder, or (ii) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions, or (c) to engage, nor, to such Obligor or Controlled Entity’s knowledge, shall any Affiliate of either engage, in any activity that would subject such Person or any Purchaser or any holder to sanctions under CISADA or any similar law or regulation with respect to Iran or any other country that is subject to U.S. Economic Sanctions.

Section 10.6. Liens. The Obligors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any Lien securing Indebtedness for borrowed money on or with respect to any property or asset (including, without limitation, any document or instrument in respect of goods or accounts receivable) of any Obligor or any such Subsidiary, whether now owned or held or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits, except:

(l) any Lien existing on property of a Person immediately prior to its being consolidated with or merged into either Obligor or a Subsidiary or its becoming a Subsidiary, or any Lien existing on any property acquired by either Obligor or a Subsidiary at the time such property is so acquired (whether or not the Indebtedness secured thereby shall have assumed), provided that (i) no such Lien shall have been created or assumed in contemplation of such consolidation or merger or such Person’s becoming a Subsidiary or such acquisition of property, and (ii) each such Lien shall extend solely to the item or items of property so acquired (and proceeds thereof) and, if required by the terms of the instrument originally creating such Lien, other property which is an improvement to or is acquired for specific use in connection with such acquired property;

-34-

(o) Liens securing Priority Debt of the Obligors or any Subsidiary, provided that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any such Priority Debt shall be permitted by Sections 10.7 and 10.10, and, provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Liens may secure any obligations under or pursuant to any Credit Agreement within the provisions of this Section 10.6(o) unless concurrently therewith the Obligors shall secure the Notes, or shall cause the Notes to be secured, equally and ratably with such obligations pursuant to documentation (including without limitation an intercreditor agreement) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.

Section 10.7. Leverage Ratio. The Parent Guarantor shall not permit the ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”) of (i) all Adjusted Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of any date of determination to (ii) EBITDA for the most recently-ended period of four-fiscal quarters for which financial statements were required to be delivered to exceed the lesser (a) 3.25:1.0 and (b) 0.25 greater than the level required to be maintained under a similar leverage covenant contained in any Credit Agreement for such applicable fiscal period. For purposes of this Section, if during the period of calculation any Obligor or any Subsidiary shall have acquired or disposed of any Person or acquired or disposed of all or substantially all of the operating assets of any Person, EBITDA for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day of such period.

The Leverage Ratio shall be calculated, in each case, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter based upon (A) for Adjusted Indebtedness, Adjusted Indebtedness as of the last day of each such fiscal quarter and (B) for EBITDA, the actual amount for the four quarter period ending on such day, calculated, with respect to acquisitions and disposals, if any, as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 10.8. Consolidated Net Worth. The Parent Guarantor shall not permit its Consolidated Net Worth at any time to be less than the greater of (i) the Alternative Minimum Net Worth Amount and (ii) 70% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries after giving effect to the Shaw Acquisition (such Consolidated Net Worth to be determined as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending immediately following the consummation of the Shaw Acquisition).

-35-

Section 10.9. Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Parent Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries shall maintain a ratio (“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”), without duplication, of Consolidated Net Income Available for Fixed Charges to Consolidated Fixed Charges of at least 1.50 to 1.00 for the most recently-ended period of four fiscal quarters for which financial statements were required to be delivered.

If, during the period for which Consolidated Net Income Available for Fixed Charges and Consolidated Fixed Charges are being calculated, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary has acquired any Person (or the assets thereof) resulting in such Person becoming or otherwise resulting in a Subsidiary, compliance with this Section 10.9 shall be determined by calculating Consolidated Net Income Available for Fixed Charges and Consolidated Fixed Charges on a pro forma basis as if such Subsidiary had become such a Subsidiary on the first day of such period and any Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith was incurred on such date.

Section 10.10. Priority Debt. The Obligors will not at any time permit the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Priority Debt to exceed the 15% of Consolidated Net Worth (with Consolidated Net Worth being determined as of the end of the then most recent ended fiscal quarter of the Parent Guarantor).

Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11, it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Obligors fail to comply with any provision of Section 10 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing; however, if such failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of the Closing that is specified in Section 3.

SECTION 12.	REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

Section 12.1. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to either Obligor described in Section 11(h), (i) or (j) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(h) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(h) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(h)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. Each Obligor acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Obligors (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Obligors in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders or, if the Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(c) by any holder or holders of Notes, such holder or holders, as the case may be, by written

-39-

notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Obligors have paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither any Obligor nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by the Financing Agreements (including by any Note) upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Obligors under Section 16, the either Obligors will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.


SECTION 13.	TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

All payments whatsoever under the Financing Agreements required to be made by the Parent Guarantor will be made by the Parent Guarantor in lawful currency of the United States of America free and clear of, and without liability for withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction other than the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in such jurisdiction) (hereinafter a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is compelled by law.

If any deduction or withholding for any Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Parent Guarantor under the Financing Agreements, the Parent Guarantor will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each holder of a Note such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such holder pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements after such deduction, withholding or payment (including, without limitation, any required deduction or withholding of Tax on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such holder under the terms of the Financing Agreements before the assessment of such Tax, provided that no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:

-40-

(a) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the holder to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such Tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof or the enforcement of remedies in respect thereof, including, without limitation, such holder (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to a Tax that would not have been imposed but for the Parent Guarantor, after the date of the Closing, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of the Financing Agreements are made to, the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing the relevant Tax;

(b) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such holder (following a written request by the Parent Guarantor) in the filing with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of Forms (as defined below) that are required to be filed by such holder to avoid or reduce such Taxes (including for such purpose any refilings or renewals of filings that may from time to time be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), provided that the filing of such Forms would not (in such holder’s reasonable judgment) impose any unreasonable burden (in time, resources or otherwise) on such holder or result in any confidential or proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such holder, and provided further that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (b) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms (including refilings or renewals of filings) as may be specified in a written request of the Parent Guarantor no later than 60 days after receipt by such holder of such written request (accompanied by copies of such Forms and related instructions, if any); or

and provided further that in no event shall the Parent Guarantor be obligated to pay such additional amounts to any holder of a Note (i) not resident in the United States of America or any other jurisdiction in which an original Purchaser is resident for tax purposes on the date of the Closing in excess of the amounts that the Parent Guarantor would be obligated to pay if such holder had been a resident of the United States of America or such other jurisdiction, as applicable, for purposes of, and eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty from time to time in effect between the United States of America or such other jurisdiction and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (ii) registered in the name of a nominee if under the law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation of such law) securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant Tax and the Parent Guarantor shall have given timely notice of such law or interpretation to such holder.

-41-

By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees, subject to the limitations of clause (b) above, that it will from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by the Parent Guarantor all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such holder by the Parent Guarantor (collectively, together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such holder in order to avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the United States and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide the Parent Guarantor with such information with respect to such holder as the Parent Guarantor may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms, provided that nothing in this Section 13 shall require any holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such holder such Form or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder, and provided further that each such holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly completed and delivered by such holder to the Parent Guarantor or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority (which shall be deemed to occur when such Form is submitted to the United States Internal Revenue Service in accordance with instructions contained in such Form), whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of the Parent Guarantor (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form) and, in the case of a transfer of any Note, at least 90 days prior to the relevant interest payment date.

If any payment is made by the Parent Guarantor to or for the account of the holder of any Note after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and increased payments are made by the Parent Guarantor pursuant to this Section 13, then, if such holder at its sole discretion determines that it has received or been granted a refund of such Taxes, such holder shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, reimburse to the Parent Guarantor such amount as such holder shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the holder of any Note to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of such Tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in clause (b) above) oblige any holder of any Note to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

The Parent Guarantor will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by the Parent Guarantor of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under the Financing Agreements, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of such Obligor, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any holder of a Note.

If the Parent Guarantor is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any Tax in

-42-

respect of which the Parent Guarantor would be required to pay any additional amount under this Section 13, but for any reason does not make such deduction or withholding with the result that a liability in respect of such Tax is assessed directly against the holder of any Note, and such holder pays such liability, then the Parent Guarantor will promptly reimburse such holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by the Parent Guarantor) upon demand by such holder accompanied by an official receipt (or a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

If the Parent Guarantor makes payment to or for the account of any holder of a Note and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other than a Form described above), then such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from the Parent Guarantor (which shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by the Parent Guarantor, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above.

The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Section 13 shall survive the payment or transfer of any Note and the provisions of this Section 13 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.

By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees that such holder will with reasonable promptness duly complete and deliver to the Parent Guarantor, or to such other Person as may be reasonably requested by the Parent Guarantor, from time to time (i) in the case of any such holder that is a United States Person, such holder’s United States tax identification number or other Forms reasonably requested by the Parent Guarantor necessary to establish such holder’s status as a United States Person under FATCA and as may otherwise be necessary for any Obligor to comply with its obligations under FATCA and (ii) in the case of any such holder that is not a United States Person, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such holder has complied with such holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from any such payment made to such holder. Nothing in this Section shall require any holder to provide information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder unless the Parent Guarantor is required to obtain such information under FATCA and, in such event, the Parent Guarantor shall treat any such information it receives as confidential.


SECTION 14.	REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

Section 14.1. Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof, and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for

-43-

registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Section 14.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)), subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than U.S.$100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than U.S.$100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 6.2.

Section 14.3. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least U.S.$50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

-44-

Subject to Section 15.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office of Bank of America, N.A. in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

Section 15.2. Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 15.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 15.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.


SECTION 16.	EXPENSES, ETC.

Section 16.1. Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Obligors will pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of the Financing Agreements (including the Notes) (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under the Financing Agreements (including the Notes) or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with the Financing Agreements (including the Notes), or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Obligor or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Notes or by any Subsidiary Guarantee and (c) the costs and expenses incurred

The Parent Guarantor agrees to pay all stamp, documentary or similar taxes or fees which may be payable in respect of the execution and delivery (but not the transfer of any Notes) or the enforcement of the Financing Agreements (including any Note) or any Subsidiary Guarantee in the United States or The Netherlands or of any amendment of, or waiver or consent under or with respect to, the Financing Agreements (including any Notes) or any Subsidiary Guarantee, and to pay any value added tax due and payable in respect of reimbursement of costs and expenses by the Parent Guarantor pursuant to this Section 16, except for the value added tax that is recoverable or refundable for the parts to be reimbursed, and will save each holder of a Note to the extent permitted by applicable law harmless against any loss or liability resulting from nonpayment or delay in payment of any such tax or fee required to be paid by the Parent Guarantor hereunder.

Section 16.2. Survival . The obligations of the Obligors under this Section 16 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of the Financing Agreements (including the Notes) or any Subsidiary Guarantee, and the termination of the Financing Agreements or any Subsidiary Guarantee.


SECTION 17.	SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may, in good faith, be relied upon, as made on the date of the Closing, by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of either Obligor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Obligor under this Agreement made as of the date therein provided. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.


SECTION 18.	AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

Section 18.1. Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Obligors and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 22 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein),

-46-

will be effective as to any Purchaser or holder unless consented to by such Purchaser or holder in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner), (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or the principal amount of the Notes that the Purchasers are to purchase pursuant to Section 2 upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing that appear in Section 4, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 13, 18, 21, 23 or 24.9.

Section 18.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Obligors will provide each Purchaser and each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Purchaser and such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Obligors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18 to each Purchaser and each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Obligors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Purchaser or holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any Purchaser or holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Purchaser or holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent made pursuant to this Section 18 by a holder of Notes that has transferred, or has agreed to transfer, its Notes to any Obligor, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of either Obligor and, in either case, has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

-47-

Section 18.3. Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 applies equally to all Purchasers and holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Obligors without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Obligors and any Purchaser or holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Purchaser or holder of such Note. As used herein, the term "this Agreement" and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

Section 18.4. Notes Held by Obligors, etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by either Obligor or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

(iv) if to the Parent Guarantor, in care of the Company at the address of the Company set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of Michael S. Taff, Managing Director & Chief Financial Officer, or at such other address as the Parent Guarantor shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing

-48-

Notices under this Section 19 will be deemed given only when actually received. Each document, instrument, financial statement, report, notice or other communication delivered in connection with the Financing Agreements shall be in English or accompanied by an English translation thereof.


SECTION 20.	REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Obligor agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 20 shall not prohibit any Obligor or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.


SECTION 21.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of either Obligor or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Obligor or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser, on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than an Obligor, prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, or (c) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (on the confidential basis as provided for in this Section 21 and to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 21, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 21), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing

-49-

prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 21), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by either Obligor in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with such Obligor embodying the provisions of this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Parent Guarantor or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Obligors, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.


SECTION 22.	SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.


SECTION 23.	PARENT GUARANTEE.

Section 23.1. Guarantee. The Parent Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each holder and its successors

-50-

and permitted assigns, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal of and Make-Whole Amount and interest on (including, without limitation, interest, whether or not an allowable claim, accruing after the date of filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to the Company) the Notes and all other amounts owed or to be owing by the Company which becomes due under the terms and provisions of the Financing Agreements, now or hereafter existing under the Financing Agreements whether for principal, Make-Whole Amount, interest (including, without limitation, interest, whether or not an allowable claim, accruing after the date of filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to the Company), indemnification payments, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) or otherwise (all such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by each holder in enforcing this Parent Guarantee.

Notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such action against the Company, if for any reason whatsoever the Company shall fail or be unable to duly, punctually and fully (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) pay such amounts as and when the same shall become due and (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) payable, whether or not such failure or inability shall constitute an “Event of Default”, the Parent Guarantor will forthwith (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) pay or cause to be paid such amounts to the holders, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the place specified in Section 15, or pay such Guaranteed Obligations or cause such Guaranteed Obligations to be paid, (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) together with interest (in the amounts and to the extent required under such Notes) on any amount due and owing.

Section 23.2. Parent Guarantor’s Obligations Unconditional. (a) The Guaranty by the Parent Guarantor in this Parent Guarantee shall constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection, and the Parent Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary, and that the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to require, before or as a condition of enforcing the liability of the Parent Guarantor under this Parent Guarantee or requiring payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, or at any time thereafter, that any holder: (a) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against the Company or any other Person that may be liable for or with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation; (b) make any other effort to obtain payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligation from the Company or any other Person that may be liable for or with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation, except for the making of the demands, when appropriate, described in Section 23.1; (c) foreclose against, or seek to realize upon security now or hereafter existing for such Guaranteed Obligations; (d) except to the extent set forth in Section 23.1, exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which such holder is or may be entitled in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or any security or other guaranty therefor; or (e) assert or file any claim against the assets of the Company or any other Person liable for any Guaranteed Obligation. The Parent Guarantor agrees that its Guaranty under this Parent Guarantee shall be continuing, and that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed in accordance with their terms and the terms of this Parent Guarantee, and are the primary, absolute and

-51-

unconditional obligations of the Parent Guarantor, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, legality, regularity or enforceability or lack thereof of any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Parent Guarantee, or the existence of any indemnities with respect to the existence of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than the full and indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations), it being the intent of this Section 23.2 that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, primary, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (other than the full and indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations).

(b) The Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives notice of acceptance of and reliance upon the Guaranty in this Parent Guarantee, diligence, presentment, demand of payment or performance, protest and all other notices (except as otherwise provided for in Section 23.1) whatsoever, any requirement that the holders exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Company or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, or any other agreement, regarding any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, subject solely to the requirement of making demands under Section 23.1, the occurrence of any event or other circumstance that might otherwise vary the risk of the Company or the Parent Guarantor or constitute a defense (legal or equitable) available to, or a discharge of, or a counterclaim or right of set‑off by, the Company or the Parent Guarantor (other than the full and indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations), shall not affect the liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder.

(c) The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Parent Guarantee are not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment, suspension, deferment or defense based upon any claim the Parent Guarantor or any other Person may have against the Company, any holder or any other Person, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstances or condition whatsoever (whether or not the Parent Guarantor or the Company shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including:

(i) any renewal, extension, modification, increase, decrease, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument executed in connection therewith, or any contract or understanding with the Company, the holders, or any of them, or any other Person, pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by any holder to the Company or any other Person liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, or the failure of any holder to assert any claim or demand or to exercise any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under the provisions of the Financing Agreements or otherwise; or any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, the Financing Agreements, any guarantee or any other agreement;

-52-

(iii) the insolvency, bankruptcy arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of the Company or any other Person at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or any dissolution of the Company or any other such Person, or any change, restructuring or termination of the structure or existence of the Company or any other such Person, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of the Company or any other such Person, or any change in the shareholders, partners, or members of the Company or any other such Person; or any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including the fact that the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, exceed the amount permitted by law, the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations or any part is ultra vires, the officers or representatives executing the documents or otherwise creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, the Guaranteed Obligations violate applicable usury laws, the Company or any other Person has valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from the Company or any other Person, the creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed Obligations or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) is illegal, uncollectible, legally impossible or unenforceable, or the documents or instruments pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic;

(v) any full or partial release of the liability of the Company on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, of any co-guarantors, or of any other Person now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by the Parent Guarantor that the Parent Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support of any other Person, and the Parent Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Parent Guarantee on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that any parties other than the Company will be liable to perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that the holders will look to other parties to perform the Guaranteed Obligations;

(vi) the taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(vii) any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including negligent, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral,

-53-

property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(viii) the failure of any holder or any other Person to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security;

(ix) the fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by the Parent Guarantor that the Parent Guarantor is not entering into this Parent Guarantee in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectability or value of any of the collateral;

(x) any payment by the Company to any holder being held to constitute a preference under any bankruptcy law or fraudulent conveyance law, or for any reason any holder being required to refund such payment or pay such amount to the Company or someone else;

(xi) any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices the Parent Guarantor or increases the likelihood that the Parent Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of the Parent Guarantor that it shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action or omission whatsoever, whether or not contemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash;

(xii) the fact that all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations cease to exist by operation of law, including by way of a discharge, limitation or tolling thereof under applicable bankruptcy laws;

(xiii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance by the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person of any obligations of any kind or character whatsoever under the Financing Agreements or any other agreement;

(xiv) any merger or consolidation of the Company or the Parent Guarantor or any other Person into or with any other Person or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any of the assets of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person to any other Person, any change in the ownership of any shares or partnership interests of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person, or any change in the relationship between the Company and the Parent Guarantor or any termination of any such relationship;

-54-

(xv) in respect of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person, any change of circumstances, whether or not foreseen or foreseeable, whether or not imputable to the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person, or other impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars (whether or not declared), civil commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, delays or failure of suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials, action of any federal or state regulatory body or agency, change of law or any other causes affecting performance, or any other force majeure, whether or not beyond the control of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person and whether or not of the kind hereinbefore specified; or

(xvi) any other occurrence, circumstance, or event whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against the Parent Guarantor (other than the full and indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations);

provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Parent Guarantee that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment and performance of all obligations of the Company under the Financing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Company or the Parent Guarantor shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Financing Agreements and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Company or the Parent Guarantor under the Financing Agreements (including this Parent Guarantee), this Parent Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default. All waivers herein contained shall be without prejudice to the holders at their respective options to proceed against the Company, the Parent Guarantor or other Person, whether by separate action or by joinder.

(d) The Parent Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that any holder or holders from time to time, with or without any further notice to or assent from the Parent Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the liability of the Parent Guarantor under this Parent Guarantee, and upon such terms and conditions as any such holder or holders may deem advisable:

(i) extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change, compromise, release or extend the duration of the time for the performance or payment of any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or the Parent Guarantor or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any debt, liability or obligations of the Company under the Financing Agreements, or waive any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto, or waive, modify, amend or change any provision of any other agreement or waive this Parent Guarantee; or

-55-

(ii) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and all property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by, or for the benefit of, any such holder as direct or indirect security for the payment or performance of any debt, liability or obligation of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company under the Financing Agreements; or

(iii) settle, adjust or compromise any claim of the Company or the Parent Guarantor against any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company under the Financing Agreements.

The Parent Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension, renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and that the same shall be binding upon it, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that the Parent Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Parent Guarantee and remain liable hereunder.

(e) All rights of any holder may be transferred or assigned at any time in accordance with this Agreement and shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of such Note in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without the consent of or notice to the Parent Guarantor.

(f) No holder shall be under any obligation: (i) to marshal any assets in favor of the Parent Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Company or the Parent Guarantor under or in respect of the Notes or the obligations of the Company and the Parent Guarantor under the Financing Agreements or (ii) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the Parent Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

Section 23.3. Full Recourse Obligations. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse obligations of the Parent Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all its assets and properties.

Section 23.4. Waiver. The Parent Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 23.2;

(b) notice to the Parent Guarantor of the incurrence of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, notice to the Parent Guarantor of any breach or default by the Company or the Parent Guarantor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other notice that may be required, by statute, rule of law or otherwise, to preserve any rights of any holder against the Parent Guarantor;

-56-

(c) presentment to the Company or the Parent Guarantor or of payment from the Company or the Parent Guarantor with respect to any Note or other Guaranteed Obligation or protest for nonpayment or dishonor;

(d) any right to the enforcement, assertion, exercise or exhaustion by any holder of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in any Note, the other Financing Agreements or otherwise;

(e) any requirement of diligence on the part of any holder;

(f) any requirement to mitigate the damages resulting from any default under the Notes or the other Financing Agreements;

(g) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any right, title to or interest in any Note or other Guaranteed Obligation by any holder, assignee or participant thereof, or in the other Financing Agreements;

(h) any release of the Parent Guarantor from its obligations hereunder resulting from any loss by it of its rights of subrogation hereunder; and

(i) any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against the Parent Guarantor.

Section 23.5. Waiver of Subrogation.

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, or any application by any holder of any security or of any credits or claims, the Parent Guarantor will not exercise any rights of any holder or of the Parent Guarantor against the Company to recover the amount of any payment made by the Parent Guarantor to any holder hereunder by way of any claim, remedy or subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnity, participation or otherwise arising by contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise, and the Parent Guarantor shall not exercise any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of the Company, in each case unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. Until such time (but not thereafter), the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right to exercise any claim, right or remedy which the Parent Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company or any other Person that arises under the Notes, the other Financing Agreements or from the performance by the Parent Guarantor of the Guaranty hereunder including any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or participation in any claim, right or remedy of any holder against the Company or the Parent Guarantor, or any security that any holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor by the Company after payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, and all or any portion

-57-

of the Guaranteed Obligations shall thereafter be reinstated in whole or in part and any holder is required to repay any sums received by any of them in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Parent Guarantee shall be automatically reinstated and such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders and shall forthwith be paid to the holders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The provisions of this Section 23.5 shall survive the termination of this Parent Guarantee, and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal, state or provincial law.

Section 23.6. Subordination. If the Parent Guarantor becomes the holder of any indebtedness payable by the Company, the Parent Guarantor hereby subordinates all indebtedness owing to it from the Company to all indebtedness of the Company to the holders, and agrees that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, it shall not accept any payment on the same until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall in no circumstance whatsoever attempt to set‑off or reduce any obligations hereunder because of such indebtedness. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid in violation of the foregoing to the Parent Guarantor by the Company prior to payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders and shall forthwith be paid to the holders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, provided further, and notwithstanding this Section 23.6 to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, amounts paid to and accepted by the Parent Guarantor on indebtedness payable by the Company to the Parent Guarantor during the non-existence of an Event of Default are permitted and may be retained by the Parent Guarantor.

Section 23.7. Effect of Bankruptcy Proceedings, Etc. (a) If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of any security applied (or intended to be applied) to the payment of all or any part of, the Guaranteed Obligations, any holder is for any reason compelled to surrender or voluntarily surrenders (under circumstances in which it believes it could reasonably be expected to be so compelled if it did not voluntarily surrender), such payment or proceeds to any Person (i) because such payment or application of proceeds is or may be avoided, invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, impermissible set‑off or a diversion of trust funds or (ii) for any other similar reason, including, without limitation, (x) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over any holder or any of their respective properties or (y) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by any holder with any such claimant (including the Company), then the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be reinstated and continue, and this Parent Guarantee shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received, notwithstanding any revocation thereof or the cancellation of any Note or any other instrument evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, and the Parent Guarantor shall be liable to pay the holders, and hereby does indemnify the holders and hold them harmless for, the amount of such payment or proceeds so surrendered and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and expenses attributable thereto) incurred by any holder in defense of any claim made against any of them that any payment or proceeds received by any holder in respect of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations must be surrendered. The provisions of this Section 23.7(a) shall survive the termination of this Parent Guarantee, and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal or state law.

-58-

(b) If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at any time have occurred and be continuing, and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against the Company or any other Person of any case or proceeding contemplated by Section 23.7(a) hereof, then, for the purpose of defining the obligation of the Parent Guarantor under this Parent Guarantee, the maturity of the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if an acceleration had occurred in accordance with the terms of such Guaranteed Obligations, and the Parent Guarantor shall forthwith pay such principal amount, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other Guaranteed Obligations, due or that would have become due but for such case or proceeding, without further notice or demand.

Section 23.8. Term of Guarantee. This Parent Guarantee and all guarantees, covenants and agreements of the Parent Guarantor contained herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the other Guaranteed Obligations and other independent payment obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Parent Guarantee shall be indefeasibly paid in cash and performed in full.


SECTION 24.	MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 24.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

Section 24.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.4 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 24.3. Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and all amounts shall be presented in Dollars. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by any Obligor to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by International Accounting Standard 39 or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

-59-

Section 24.4. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 24.5. Construction, etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 14, (b) subject to Section 24.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Section 24.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 24.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice‑of‑law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 24.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) Each Obligor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this

-60-

Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) Each Obligor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 24.8(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(c) Each Obligor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 24.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 19 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Obligor agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(d) The Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints C T Corporation System to receive for it, and on its behalf, service of process in the United States in connection with this Agreement and the Notes. Service of process on C T Corporation System in connection with the foregoing appointment must be made at the following address: C T Corporation System, 111 Eight Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10011 (telephone number: 212-894-8800).

(e) Nothing in this Section 24.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against any Obligor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(f) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

Section 24.9. Obligation to Make Payment in Dollars. (a) Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under the Notes in Dollars which is made to or for the account of any holder of Notes in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of either Obligor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of each Obligor under this Agreement or the Notes only to the extent of the amount of Dollars which such

-61-

holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in New York, New York, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of Dollars that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars originally due to such holder, each Obligor jointly and severally agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under the Notes or under any judgment or order.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign the form of agreement on a counterpart of this Agreement and return it to the Obligors, whereupon this Agreement shall become a binding agreement between you and the Obligors.

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 30, 2015 (this “Guarantee Agreement”), is made by each of the undersigned (each a “Guarantor” and, together with each of the other signatories hereto and any other entities from time to time parties hereto pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof, the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Purchasers (as defined below) and the other holders from time to time of the Notes (as defined below). The Purchasers and such other holders are herein collectively called the “holders” and individually a “holder.”

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

I. Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (Delaware), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V., a corporation incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Parent Guarantor” and together with the Company, the “Obligors”), are enteringinto a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of July 22, 2015 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with the Persons listed on the signature pages thereto as purchasers (the “Purchasers”) simultaneously with the delivery of this Guarantee Agreement.Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings specified in the Note Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

II. Pursuant to the Note Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance of, and proposes to issue and sell, (i) U.S.$200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.53% Senior Notes due July 30, 2025 (the “Initial Notes”). The Initial Notes and any other Notes that may from time to time be issued pursuant to the Note Agreement (including any notes issued in substitution for any of the Notes) are herein collectively called the “Notes” and individually a “Note”.

III. It is a condition to the agreement of the Purchasers to purchase the Notes that this Guarantee Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by each Guarantor and shall be in full force and effect.

IV. Each Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Agreement. The governing body of each Guarantor has determined that the incurrence of such obligations is in the best interests of such Guarantor.

NOW THEREFORE, in order to induce, and in consideration of, the execution and delivery of the Note Agreement and the purchase of the Notes by each of the Purchasers, each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with, and represents and warrants to each of the holders as follows:


SECTION 1.	GUARANTEE.

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees to each holder the due and punctual payment in full of (a) the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, whether or not a claim

- 1-

for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any other amounts due under, the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise) and (b) any other sums which may become due under the terms and provisions of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any Financing Agreement) all such obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guaranty in the preceding sentence is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectibility and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Obligors or any other guarantor of the Notes (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor hereunder) or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Company shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor agrees to pay the same when due to the holders entitled thereto, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, in lawful money of the United States of America, pursuant to the requirements for payment specified in the Notes and the Note Agreement. Each default in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. Each Guarantor agrees that the Notes issued in connection with the Note Agreement may (but need not) make reference to this Guarantee Agreement.

Each Guarantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and save each holder harmless from and against any damage, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) which such holder may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (x) any breach by such Guarantor, by any other Guarantor or by the Obligors of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, this Guarantee Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, together with all expenses resulting from the compromise or defense of any claims or liabilities arising as a result of any such breach or default, (y) any legal action commenced to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Guarantee Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement and (z) enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) the provisions of this Guarantee Agreement.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Guarantor’s liability hereunder is joint and several with the other Guarantors and any other Person(s) who may guarantee the obligations and Indebtedness under and in respect of the Notes and the Note Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or any other provision of this Guarantee Agreement, the Purchasers (on behalf of themselves and their permitted successors and assigns)and each Guarantor hereby agree that if at any time the Guaranteed Obligations exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount determined as of such time with regard to such Guarantor, then this Guarantee Agreement shall be automatically amended to reduce the Guaranteed Obligations to the Maximum Guaranteed Amount. Such amendment shall not require the written consent of any Guarantor or any holder and shall be deemed to have been automatically consented to by each Guarantor and each holder. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount without affecting or impairing the obligation of such Guarantor. “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” means as of the date of determination with respect to a Guarantor, the lesser of (a) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations outstanding on such date and (b) the maximum amount that would not render such Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee Agreement subject to avoidance under

- 2-

Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or any comparable provision of applicable state law.


SECTION 2.	OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim such Guarantor may have against the Obligors or any holder or otherwise, and, except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.3(b) of the Note Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not such Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement (it being agreed that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the Notes, the Note Agreement or any such other instrument as so amended, modified, supplemented or restated) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance or release of any security for the Notes or the addition, substitution or release of any other Guarantor or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to either Obligor or its property; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor or of any Obligor into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Guarantor or of any Obligor to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of any Obligor for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Guarantor; (f) any failure on the part of any holder to obtain, maintain, register or otherwise perfect any security; or (g) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing), and in any event however material or prejudicial it may be to any Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights any Guarantor may otherwise have. Each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder, except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.3(b) of the Note Agreement.


SECTION 3.	WAIVER.

Each Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any default by the Obligors in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 2 hereof, (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of any holder against such Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Obligors or any Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Obligors or to any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in

- 3-

the event of the bankruptcy of the Obligors, (c) any right to require any holder to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy including, without limitation, any right, power or remedy conferred in the Note Agreement or the Notes, (d) any requirement for diligence on the part of any holder and (e) any other act or omission or thing or delay in doing any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.


SECTION 4.	OBLIGATIONS UNIMPAIRED.

Each Guarantor authorizes the holders, without notice or demand to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement, from time to time to: (a) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement; (b) change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining to the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest, the Make-Whole Amountor any other obligation; (c) take and hold security for the payment of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, for the performance of this Guarantee Agreement or otherwise for the Indebtedness guaranteed hereby and to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such security; (d) apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the holders in their sole discretion may determine; (e) obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or release any other Guarantor or any other Person or entity primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Obligors, any Guarantor or any other Person; and (g) apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations owed hereunder. The holders shall have no obligation to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Obligors, such Guarantor or any other Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the holders.

If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of any Notes shall exist and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any holder to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Obligors, any Guarantor or any other guarantors of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, such Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guarantee Agreement and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the holder thereof had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

- 4-


SECTION 5.	SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION.

(a) Each Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Guarantee Agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity or any rights or recourse to any security for the Notes or this Guarantee Agreement unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Indebtedness and other obligations of the Obligors or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in clause (a) of this Section 5, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the Required Holders so request, any such Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement.

(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by any Guarantor in violation of any of the preceding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the holders and shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Agreement and that its agreements set forth in this Guarantee Agreement (including this Section 5) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid an amount hereunder to any holder that is greater than the net value of the benefits received, directly or indirectly, by such paying Guarantor as a result of the issuance and sale of the Notes (such net value, its “Proportionate Share”), such paying Guarantor shall, subject to Section 5(a) and 5(b), be entitled to contribution from any Guarantor that has not paid its Proportionate Share of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any amount payable as a contribution under this Section 5(e) shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment is made by such Guarantor seeking contribution and each Guarantor acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset of such Guarantor to which such contribution is owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the holders of the Notes hereunder or under the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith, and each Guarantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for the full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

- 5-

SECTION 7.	RANK OF GUARANTEE.

Each Guarantor will ensure that its payment obligations under this Guarantee Agreement will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing.


SECTION 8.	ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF EACH GUARANTOR.

So long as any Notes are outstanding or the Note Agreement shall remain in effect, each Guarantor agrees to comply with the covenants and agreements of the Note Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 9 and 10 of thereof, insofar as such covenants and agreements apply to such Guarantor, as if such covenants and agreements were set forth herein in full.

SECTION 10.	TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

All payments whatsoever under this Guarantee Agreement will be made by each Guarantor in lawful currency of the United States of America free and clear of, and without liability for withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax (whether income, documentary, sales, stamp, registration, issue, capital, property, excise or otherwise), duty, assessment, levy, impost, fee, compulsory loan, charge or withholding (a “Tax”) of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction other than the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in such jurisdiction) (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is compelled by law.

If any deduction or withholding for any Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be paid by a Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement, such Guarantor will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each holder such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such holder pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee Agreement after such deduction, withholding or payment (including, without limitation, any required deduction or withholding of Tax on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such holder under the terms of this Guarantee Agreement before the assessment of such Tax, provided that no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:

(a) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the holder to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such Tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof, including, without limitation, such holder (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to a Tax that would not have been imposed but for such Guarantor, after the date of the Closing, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of this Guarantee Agreement are made to, the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing the relevant Tax;

(b) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such holder (following a written request by such Guarantor) in the filing with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of Forms (as defined below) that are required to be filed by such holder to avoid or reduce such Taxes (including for such purpose any refilings or renewals of filings that may from time to time be required

- 8-

by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), provided that the filing of such Forms would not (in such holder’s reasonable judgment) impose any unreasonable burden (in time, resources or otherwise) on such holder or result in any confidential or proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such holder, and provided further that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (b) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms (including refilings or renewals of filings) as may be specified in a written request of such Guarantor no later than 60 days after receipt by such holder of such written request (accompanied by copies of such Forms and related instructions, if any, all in the English language or with an English translation thereof); or

and provided further that in no event shall such Guarantor be obligated to pay such additional amounts (i) to any holder not resident in the United States of America or any other jurisdiction in which an original Purchaser is resident for tax purposes on the date of the Closing in excess of the amounts that such Guarantor would be obligated to pay if such holder had been a resident of the United States of America or such other jurisdiction, as applicable, for purposes of, and eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty from time to time in effect between the United States of America or such other jurisdiction and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (ii)to any holder of a Note registered in the name of a nominee if under the law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation of such law) securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant Tax and such Guarantor shall have given timely notice of such law or interpretation to such holder.

By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees, subject to the limitations of clause (b) above, that it will from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by such Guarantor all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such holder by such Guarantor (collectively, together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such holder in order to avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the United States and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide such Guarantor with such information with respect to such holder as such Guarantor may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms, provided that nothing in this Section 10 shall require any holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such holder such Form or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder, and provided, further, that each such holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly completed and delivered by such holder to such Guarantor or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority (which in the case of any Form which requires that it be submitted to the United States Internal Revenue Service as a condition to its effectiveness in the Taxing Jurisdiction shall be deemed to occur when such Form is submitted to the United States Internal Revenue Service in accordance with instructions contained in such Form), whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of such Guarantor (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of

- 9-

any such Form not in the English language) and, in the case of a transfer of any Note, at least 90 days prior to the relevant interest payment date.

On or before the date of the Closing such Guarantor will furnish each Purchaser with copies of the appropriate Form (and English translation if required as aforesaid) currently required to be filed in any Taxing Jurisdiction pursuant to clause (b) of the second paragraph of this Section 10, if any, and in connection with the transfer of any Note such Guarantor will furnish the transferee of such Note with copies of any Form and English translation then required.

If any payment is made by such Guarantor to or for the account of the holder of any Note after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and increased payments are made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Section 10, then, if such holder at its sole discretion determines that it has received or been granted a refund of such Taxes, such holder shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, reimburse to such Guarantor such amount as such holder shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the holder of any Note to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of such Tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in clause (b) above) oblige any holder of any Note to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

Such Guarantor will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by such Guarantor of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under this Guarantee Agreement, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of such Guarantor, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any holder of a Note.

If such Guarantor is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of which such Guarantor would be required to pay any additional amount under this Section 10, but for any reason does not make such deduction or withholding with the result that a liability in respect of such Tax is assessed directly against the holder of any Note, and such holder pays such liability, then such Guarantor will promptly reimburse such holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by such Guarantor) upon demand by such holder accompanied by an official receipt (or a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

If such Guarantor makes payment to or for the account of any holder of a Note and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other than a

- 10-

Form described above), then such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from such Guarantor (which shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by such Guarantor, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above.

The obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 10 shall survive the payment or transfer of any Note and the provisions of this Section 10 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.


SECTION 11.	TERM OF GUARANTEE AGREEMENT.

SECTION 12.	SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guarantee Agreement and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any other holder. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of a Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Guarantee Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each holder and the Guarantors and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.


SECTION 13.	AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

Section 13.1. Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in the fourth paragraph of Section 1 of this Guarantee Agreement, this Guarantee Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that no amendment or waiver (a) of any of the first three paragraphs of Section 1 or any of the provisions of Section 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13 or 15.7 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), or (b) which results in the limitation of the liability of any Guarantor hereunder (except to the extent provided in the fourth paragraph of Section 1 of this Guarantee Agreement) will be effective as to any holder unless consented to by such holder in writing.

- 11-

Section 13.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes .

(a) Solicitation. Each Guarantor will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. Each Guarantor will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.2 to each holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Guarantors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Section 13.3. Binding Effect. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 13 applies equally to all holders and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon each Guarantor without regard to whether any Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.

As used herein, the term “this Guarantee Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Guarantee Agreement as it may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time.

Section 13.4. Notes Held by Obligors, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guarantee Agreement, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Guarantor, any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

A facsimile or electronic transmission of the signature page of a Guarantor shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes.

- 15-


SECTION 16.	LIMITATIONS WITH RESPECT TO LIECHTENSTEIN GUARANTORS.

The amounts payable according to the terms of this Guarantee Agreement by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Liechtenstein (each, a “Liechtenstein Guarantor”) are limited as follows:

If a payment in fulfillment of the Guaranteed Obligations would, at the time of payment is due, not be permitted under Art. 545(2) of the Liechtenstein Company Act (Personen- und Gesellschaftsrecht) or similar provisions prohibiting capital repayment or restricting profit distributors, then such Guaranteed Obligations and payment amounts are limited to the amount permitted to be paid in accordance with such provisions.

Such limited amount shall, however, at no time be less than the distributable net assets (verfügbarer Reingewinn) available for distribution to the shareholders of the respective Liechtenstein Guarantor in accordance with Art. 545(2) of the Liechtenstein Company Act (Personen- und Gesellschaftsrecht) and the provisions of its articles of association and by-laws (net of taxes, if applicable) at any time payment under or pursuant to this Guarantee Agreement is requested from the respective Liechtenstein Guarantor (from time to time, each a “Liechtenstein Minimum Guarantee Amount”).

The limitations set out herein (as may apply) shall not (generally or definitively) free the Liechtenstein Guarantor from payment obligations hereunder in excess thereof, but merely postpone the payment date thereof until such times as payment is again possible in accordance with the above mentioned limitations.

In order to allow the holders to obtain the maximum benefit under and of this Guarantee Agreement, the Liechtenstein Guarantor undertakes to promptly implement all such measures and/or to promptly procure the fulfilment of all prerequisites allowing it to make the (requested) payment(s) hereunder, including the following

(a) preparation of an audited interim balance sheet (geprüfter Zwischenabschluss) of the Liechtenstein Guarantor;

(b) confirmation of the auditors of the relevant Liechtenstein Guarantor that the relevant Liechtenstein Minimum Guarantee Amount represents (the maximum of) freely distributable profits (verfügbarer Reingewinn);

(c) approval by a shareholder(s) meeting (Gründerrechtsversammlung) of the Liechtenstein Guarantor of the (resulting) profit distribution in the amount of the Minimum Guarantee Amount; and

(d) all such other measures necessary or useful to allow the Liechtenstein Guarantor to make the payments agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitation, including the conversion of unnecessary restricted reserves into distributable reserves.

- 16-

For avoidance of doubt, the limitations hereinbefore referred to shall not lead to an obligation of the Liechtenstein Guarantor to decrease its statutory capital (Anstaltskapital) or statutory reserves (statutarischer Reservefonds).
