The Issuer is currently a party to and the issuer of notes pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2011 (as previously amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect on the date hereof, the “Original Agreement”), between the Issuer, the Original Subsidiary Guarantors and the Purchasers identified therein.

Pursuant to the terms of the Original Agreement, the Issuer has, among other things, issued and sold to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers have purchased from the Issuer, Senior Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of US$65,000,000 (the “Original Notes”) due June 15, 2018.

The Issuer and the Purchasers have agreed, subject to the terms and condition contained herein, to enter into this Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide for the issuance of the

Effective upon the Closing Date, this Agreement shall, and hereby does, amend, restate and replace in its entirety the Original Agreement (including the Unconditional Guarantee) which, as so amended and restated by this Agreement, continues in full force and effect without rescission or novation thereof, and each of the Obligors hereby ratifies and affirms its obligations under the Original Agreement (as amended and restated by this Agreement). The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the amendments to the Original Agreement set forth herein could have been effected through an agreement or instrument amending such agreement, and for convenience, the parties hereto have agreed to restate the terms and provisions of the Original Agreement, as amended hereby, pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Amendment and Restatement of Certain Notes. Effective upon the Closing Date and immediately after the issuance of the Series B Notes and the Series C Notes, the Original Notes outstanding on the Closing Date are hereby and shall be deemed to be, automatically and without any further action, amended and restated in their entirety in the form of Exhibit 1(a) (as so amended and restated, and as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Series A Notes”); except that the date, registration number and principal amount set forth in each Original Note shall remain the same; provided, however, that at the request of any holder of Notes, the Issuer shall execute and deliver a new Series A Note or Series A Notes in the form of such Exhibit 1(a) in exchange for its Original Note, registered in the name of such holder of Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of the Series A Notes owing to such holder of Notes in accordance with Section 2 and Section 12.2.

The Issuer has authorized the issue and sale of its Series C Notes (the “Series C Notes” and together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of US$25,000,000 to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature June 29, 2026 to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at the initial rate of 4.94% per annum (subject to adjustment as provided therein) and on overdue payment at the rate specified therein, and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1(c) attached hereto. The terms “Series C Note” and “Series C Notes” as used herein shall include each Series C Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Series C Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Series C Note pursuant to any such provision.

Prior to the date that is three Business Days before the prepayment date specified in a prepayment notice delivered pursuant to this Section 8.2, by written notice to each holder of Notes (or to each holder of Series A Notes, as applicable), the Issuer may revoke such notice of prepayment or postpone the prepayment date specified therein to a later date specified in such written notice; provided, however, the Issuer may revoke a notice of prepayment or postpone the prepayment date specified therein only in the event that the Issuer has notified the holders of Notes (or the holder of Series A Notes only, as applicable) that it intends to make such prepayment using the proceeds of the incurrence of Financial Indebtedness under a financing facility that is not currently in effect and such refinancing fails to close or, in the case of a postponement of the prepayment date only, the closing of such refinancing is postponed to a date falling after the prepayment date specified in such notice.

8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments.

(a) In the case of each partial prepayment of all the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding (without regard to series) in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

(b) In the case of a partial prepayment of the Series A Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the princial amount of the Series A Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Series A Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

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 Issuer shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the 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 Issuer and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

8.5. Purchase of Notes.

The Obligors will not and will not permit any of their respective Affiliates to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Issuer will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor 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.

8.6. Make-Whole Amount.

The term “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:

“Applicable Percentage” in the case of a computation of the Make-Whole Amount for any purpose means 0.50% (50 basis points).

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.8 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1, 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, the sum of the (x) Applicable Percentage plus (y) 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 having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series 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 U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity 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 (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) 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 (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) 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, 8.8 or 11.1.

“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 Section 8.8 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1, as the context requires.

Change of Control Prepayment.

(a) Within 15 days following the date upon which a Responsible Officer of any Obligor first has actual knowledge of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall give written notice of such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Notice”) to each holder of a Note, which Change of Control Notice shall (i) describe the facts and circumstances of such Change of Control in reasonable detail, (ii) refer to this Section 8.7 and the rights of the holders of Notes hereunder, (iii) contain an offer to prepay on a date, which shall be no more than 60 days and not less than 30 days after the date of such Change of Control Notice, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes held by such holder, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date, if any, with respect to each Note prepaid (showing in such offer the amount of interest which would be paid on such prepayment date together with specific information as to how such estimated amount was calculated), and (iv) request such holder to notify the Issuer in writing by a stated date (a “Response Date”), which date is not less than 10 days prior to the prepayment date and not less than 20 days after such holder’s receipt of the Change of Control Notice, of its acceptance or rejection of such prepayment offer. If a holder does not notify the Issuer on or before the Response Date specified in the Change of Control Notice of such holder’s acceptance of the prepayment offer contained therein, then the holder shall be deemed to have rejected such offer.

(b) On the prepayment date specified in the Change of Control Notice, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes held by each holder of a Note who has accepted such prepayment offer, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the prepayment date shall become due and payable.

(c) To the extent they may legally do so (including without breaching any confidentiality undertaking) the Obligors will promptly provide any holder of a Note with all information in their possession which such holder may reasonably request in order to enable such holder to evaluate the effect of a Change of Control on such holder’s investment in the Notes.

Such offered prepayment shall be made at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid, plus the Make-Whole Amount determined for the Disposal Prepayment Date with respect to such principal amount, together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Disposal Prepayment Date. On the Business Day preceding the Disposal Prepayment Date, the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of Notes being prepaid a statement showing the Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment and setting forth the details of the computation of such amount. The prepayment shall be made on the Disposal Prepayment Date.

then, upon receipt by the holders of Notes of such Officer’s Certificate, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be discharged and released, automatically and without the need for any further action, from its obligations under its Joinder Agreement, English Guarantee Agreement or other guarantee agreement (if applicable) with respect to the Notes; provided that, if in connection with any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee with respect to any Principal Lending Facility any fee or other consideration is paid or given to any Person in connection with such release, each holder of a Note shall receive equivalent consideration on a pro rata basis. Without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of further assurance, each of the holders agrees to provide to the Obligors, if reasonably requested by the Obligors and at the Issuer’s expense, written evidence of such discharge and release signed by such holder.

If holders of Notes constituting the Required Holders do not notify the Issuer on or before the date that is fifteen days after each holder’s receipt of such Favored Lender Notice of their rejection of the offer contained therein, then the Required Holders shall be deemed to have accepted such offer and such More Favorable Provision shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein, effective as of the date when such More Favorable Provision shall become effective under such Principal Lending Facility (any More Favorable Provision incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.36, an “Incorporated Provision”).

11. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

11.1. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Obligor described in Section 10 (f), (g) or (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 Issuer, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 10(a) 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 Issuer, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes of any Series becoming due and payable under this Section 11.1, 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, without limitation, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) with respect to an acceleration under Section 11.1(a) or (b), 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 Issuer (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Issuer 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.

11.2. Other Remedies.

If any 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 11.1, 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.

11.3. Rescission.

At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Issuer, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Issuer has 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 the Issuer nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts that 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 18, 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 11.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

11.4. 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 this Agreement or 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 Issuer under Section 16, the Issuer 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 11, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements and any Registration Duty.

12. TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

All payments whatsoever under the Note Documents will be made by the relevant Obligor 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 an Obligor under a Note Document, the relevant Obligor 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 such Note Document 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 such Note Document 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 or in connection therewith 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 the relevant Obligor, after the date of this Agreement, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of any Note Document 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 relevant Obligor) 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 relevant Obligor 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 an Obligor 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 Closing Date in excess of the amounts that such Obligor 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 fully eligible for the maximum 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 Obligor 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 an Obligor all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such holder by such Obligor (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 of America or other jurisdiction of the holder (as applicable) and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide such Obligor with such information with respect to such holder as such Obligor may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms, provided that nothing in this Section 12 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 Obligor or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority (which in the case of a United Kingdom HMRC Form US/Company 2002 or any similar Form 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 Obligor (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of 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.

Any Purchaser or other holder of a Note who is a UK Treaty Holder and who holds a UK Treaty Passport, and who wishes to apply its UK Treaty Passport to this Agreement, shall irrevocably include an indication to that effect by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Purchaser Schedule (or, in the case of any transferee of a Note, in the information provided to the Issuer pursuant to Section 14.2). Where a Purchaser of a Note has included such an indication in the Purchaser Schedule or in the information provided to the Issuer pursuant to Section 14.2, the Issuer shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Purchaser or holder with HMRC within 30 days of the Closing Date (or, in the case of any transferee of a Note, within 30 days of completion of the transfer thereof). The Issuer shall provide such Purchaser or holder with a copy of that filing and shall notify such Purchaser or holder if the filing has not been made within the aforementioned period or if the Issuer becomes aware that HMRC has decided not to apply the UK Treaty Passport Scheme to this Agreement or any Note in respect of that Purchaser or holder. For the avoidance of doubt, any Purchaser or other holder of a Note who is a UK Treaty Holder holding a UK Treaty Passport which can be used by such UK Treaty Holder in respect of this Agreement, and who has given the Issuer an indication or notification in accordance with the foregoing, shall not be required to file any other Form seeking relief in respect of UK Tax pursuant to the applicable double taxation agreement unless and until it has received any notification by the Issuer in accordance with this paragraph (and then only in accordance with this Section 12).

If any payment is made by an Obligor 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 Obligor pursuant to this Section 12, 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 Obligor 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.

Each Obligor will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by such Obligor of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under any Note Document, 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 any Obligor 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 Obligor would be required to pay any additional amount under this Section 12, 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 Obligor 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 Obligor) 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 any Obligor 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 such Obligor (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 Obligor, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above.

The obligations of the Obligors under this Section 12 shall survive the payment or transfer of any Note and the provisions of this Section 12 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.

13. GUARANTEE AND OTHER RIGHTS AND UNDERTAKINGS.

13.1. Guarantee.

Each U.S. Guarantor, in consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the purchase of the Notes by the Purchasers and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees to each holder, the due and punctual payment in full by the Issuer 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 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 owing by the Issuer to the holders under the terms and provisions of the Notes, this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein (all such obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guarantee in the preceding sentence (the “Unconditional Guarantee”) is an absolute, present and continuing guarantee of payment and not of collectability and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from any other Obligor or guarantor of the Notes (including, without limitation, any other U.S. Guarantor hereunder and any other Guarantor that executes an English Guarantee Agreement) or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Issuer shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, each U.S. 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 this 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 U.S. Guarantor agrees that the Notes may (but need not) make reference to the Unconditional Guarantee.

Each U.S. Guarantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and save each holder harmless from and against any damage, loss, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) which such holder may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (x) any breach by such U.S. Guarantor, by any other Guarantor or by the Issuer of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guarantee), the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, 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 Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guarantee), the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein and (z) enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) the provisions of this Section 13, provided, that no U.S. Guarantor shall be liable for any damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any holder.

Each U.S. Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that such U.S. 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 other Note Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchasers (on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns) and each U.S. 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 U.S. Guarantor, then this Section 13 shall be automatically amended to reduce the Guaranteed Obligations to the Maximum Guaranteed Amount. Such amendment shall not require the written consent of any U.S. Guarantor or any holder and shall be deemed to have been automatically consented to by each U.S. Guarantor and each holder. Each U.S. Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount without affecting or impairing the obligation of such U.S. Guarantor. “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” means as of the date of determination with respect to a U.S. 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 U.S. Guarantor’s liability under this Section 13 subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or any comparable provision of applicable law of any jurisdiction.

13.2. Obligations Absolute.

The obligations of each U.S. Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes, any

other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim such U.S. Guarantor may have against the Issuer or any holder or otherwise, and 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 U.S. Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein (it being agreed that the obligations of each U.S. Guarantor under this Section 13 shall apply to the Notes, the other Note Documents and 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, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer or its property; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor or of the Issuer into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Guarantor or of the Issuer to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Issuer 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 U.S. 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.

13.3. Waiver.

Each U.S. 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 Issuer in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 13.2, (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 U.S. Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Issuer or any Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Issuer or to any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Issuer, (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 this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document, (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 U.S. Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such U.S. Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of such U.S. Guarantor hereunder.

13.4. Obligations Unimpaired.

Each U.S. Guarantor authorizes the holders, without notice or demand to such U.S. Guarantor or any other Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Note Document or other instrument: (a) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein; (b) to change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining to the Notes, this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest, the Make-Whole Amount or any other obligation; (c) to take and hold security for the payment of the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, for the performance of this Section 13 or otherwise for the Guaranteed Obligations and to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such security; (d) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the holders in their sole discretion may determine; (e) to 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) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person; and (g) to 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 Issuer, such U.S. 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 Issuer, any Guarantor or any other guarantors of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, such U.S. Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Section 13 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 this Agreement, and such U.S. Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

13.5. Subrogation and Subordination.

(a) Each U.S. Guarantor will not be entitled to and will not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Section 13, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, nor will any U.S. Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any other Obligor or any other Person, nor seek or be entitled to seek any rights or recourse to any security for the Notes or this Agreement, in each case unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b) Each U.S. Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Financial Indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuer, any other Obligor or any other guarantor

of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such U.S. Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in Section 13.5(a), to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the Required Holders so request, any such Financial Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by such U.S. 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 U.S. Guarantor under this Section 13.

(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by any U.S. Guarantor in violation of Section 13.5(a) and (b), such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such U.S. 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 U.S. Guarantor under this Section 13.

(d) Each U.S. Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that its agreements set forth in this Section 13 (including this Section 13.5) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(e) Each U.S. 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 13.5(a) and (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 13.5(e) shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment is made by such Guarantor seeking contribution and each U.S. Guarantor acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset of such U.S. Guarantor to which such contribution is owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 13.5(e) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the holders of the Notes hereunder or under the Notes, any other Note Document or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith, and each U.S. Guarantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for the full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.6. Reinstatement of Guarantee.

The Unconditional Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any holder on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by a holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or

reorganization of the Issuer or any other guarantors, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Issuer or any other guarantors or any part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

13.7. Term of Guarantee.

The Unconditional Guarantee and all guarantees, covenants and agreements of the U.S. Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash and shall be subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 13.6.

13.8. Information Regarding the Issuer.

Each U.S. Guarantor now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining information concerning the affairs, financial condition and business of the Issuer. No holder shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any U.S. Guarantor with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Issuer which may come into possession of the holders. Each U.S. Guarantor is executing and delivering this Agreement and each other Note Document to which it is a party without reliance upon any representation by the holders including, without limitation, with respect to (a) the due execution, validity, effectiveness or enforceability of any instrument, document or agreement evidencing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any loan or other financial accommodation made or granted to the Issuer, (b) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any property securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the creation, perfection or priority of any lien or security interest in such property or (c) the existence, number, financial condition or creditworthiness of other guarantors or sureties, if any, with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.9. Further Assurances.

Each U.S. Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Required Holders may from time to time reasonably request in order to effectuate fully the purposes of the Unconditional Guarantee.

13.10. English Guarantor Confirmation

Notwithstanding that such consent is not required under the English Guarantee Agreements to which each English Guarantor entered into in connection with the Original Notes, each of such English Guarantors hereby consents to the execution and issue by the Issuer of the Series B Notes and Series C Notes under this Agreement, which Series B Notes and Series C Notes will be guaranteed by such English Guarantor under the English Guarantee Agreement to which it is a party. As a material inducement to the Purchasers of the Series B Notes and the Series C Notes to consummate the purchase of the Series B Notes and the Series C Notes under this Agreement, each of the English Guarantors party to this Agreement respectively (i) acknowledges and confirms the continuing existence, validity and effectiveness of the English Guarantee Agreement to which it is a party, including, without limitation, with respect to the

Series B Notes and Series C Notes, and (ii) agrees that the issuance of the Series B Notes and Series C Notes shall not in any way release, diminish, impair or reduce its obligations under the English Guarantee Agreement to which it is a party.

14. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

14.1. Registration of Notes.

The Issuer shall keep at its principal executive office a register of Notes 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. Prior to due presentment for 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 Issuer shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Issuer 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.

14.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

Upon surrender of any Note to the Issuer at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19) 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 details for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof) within ten Business Days thereafter the Issuer shall execute and deliver, at the Issuer’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) of the same Series as such surrendered Note 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(a), Exhibit 1(b) or Exhibit 1(c), as applicable. 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 Issuer 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 US$100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, with respect to any Series, one Note of such Series may be in a denomination of less than US$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 representation set forth in Section 6.2.

14.3. Replacement of Notes.

Upon receipt by the Issuer 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, receipt of an 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 US$50,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) 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 Issuer at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same Series as such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated 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.

15. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

15.1. Place of Payment.

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 at the principal office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in New York, New York. The Issuer 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 Issuer in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

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 Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, 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 the Purchaser Schedule, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Issuer 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 Issuer in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14.2. The Issuer 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.

16. EXPENSES, ETC.

16.1. Transaction Expenses.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Issuer will pay all 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 this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guarantee), the Notes or the other Note Documents (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 this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guarantee), the Notes or the other Note Documents, or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with any Note Document, 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 member of the Group or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes and (c) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the SVO, provided that such costs and expenses under this clause (c) shall not exceed US$3,500 (or its equivalent in other currencies). The Issuer will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes).

16.2. Certain Taxes.

The Issuer 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) or the enforcement of any of the Notes or the execution and delivery or the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Note Document in the United States or the United Kingdom or of any amendment of, or waiver or consent under or with respect to, any Note Document, and to pay any value added tax due and payable in respect of reimbursement of costs and expenses by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 16 (provided that, where the Issuer has made a payment of such value added tax and the relevant holder reasonably determines that it has received or been granted a credit or repayment in respect of such value added tax from the relevant tax authority, such holder shall reimburse such amount to the Issuer), 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 Issuer hereunder.

16.3. Survival.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 16 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of any Note Document, and the termination of any Note Document.

17. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Note Documents, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon 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 any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Obligor under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guarantee), the Notes and the other Note Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among each Purchaser and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

18. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

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 each Obligor 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, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser 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, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 11 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, any Series of Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of any Series of Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, (iii) amend Section 8, 10(a), 11, 12, 18, 21 or 23.9, or (iv) release all or substantially all of the Unconditional Guarantee.

18.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Issuer 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 or of the Notes. The Issuer 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 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. No Obligor will 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 of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any 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 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 18.2 by the holder of any Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer such Note to an Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor and 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 transferring holder.

18.3. Binding Effect, etc.

Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon each Obligor 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 any Obligor, on one hand, and the holder of any Note, on the other hand, nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any 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.

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 any Obligor or any Affiliates of any Obligor shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

19. NOTICES; ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized international commercial delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by a recognized international commercial delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

(i) if to a Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in the Purchaser Schedule, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Issuer in writing,

(ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Issuer in writing,

(iii) if to the Issuer, to the Issuer at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of the Secretary, or at such other address as the Issuer shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing, or

(iv) if to any Guarantor, to such Guarantor at Anchorage Gateway, 5 Anchorage Quay, Salford, M50 3XE, United Kingdom, Attention: the Company Secretary, or at such other address as such Guarantor shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing.

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 this Agreement shall be in English or accompanied by an English translation thereof.

This Agreement and the Notes have been prepared and signed in English and the parties hereto agree that the English version hereof and thereof (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) shall be the only version valid for the purpose of the interpretation and construction hereof and thereof notwithstanding the preparation of any translation into another language hereof or thereof, whether official or otherwise or whether prepared in relation to any proceedings which may be brought in any jurisdiction in respect hereof or thereof.

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 on the Closing Date (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 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.

21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of any member of the Group 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 Group member, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser 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, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by any Group member or (d) 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, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (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 Issuer (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), (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 any 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 the Obligors embodying the provisions of this Section 21.

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 Issuer, 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 Issuer 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.

23. MISCELLANEOUS.

23.1. 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 assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

23.2. 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 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.

23.3. Accounting Terms; IAS 39.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with the Accounting Principles, all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Accounting Principles, and all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) for purposes of determining Financial Indebtedness, indebtedness or debt (or any similar term) under any covenant or other term or provision contained in this Agreement (including any Incorporated Provision), any election by any Group member to

measure any portion of a non-derivative financial liability at fair value (as permitted by International Accounting Standard 39 or any similar accounting standard), other than to reflect a hedge of such non-derivative financial liability (including interest rate, foreign currency and commodity hedges), shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made; and

(b) if after the Closing Date a change in the Accounting Principles (as at the Closing Date or the accounting practices is such:

(a) as to affect the determination of the financial covenants contained in Section 9.1 or any related definitions; or

(b) as to affect the determination of whether a Subsidiary is a Material Company; or

(c) that it could (i) cause a Default or Event of Default related to any provision hereof (each an “Applicable Provision”), (ii) result in an indication that a Default or Event of Default related to any Applicable Provision shall occur in the future,

then the parties hereto shall proceed as follows:

(1) any such Default or Event of Default arising solely as a result of such change in Accounting Principles shall be tolled or suspended;

(2) at the request of the Parent Guarantor or the Required Holders, the Parent Guarantor and the Required Holders shall promptly enter into good faith negotiations lasting for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days, pursuant to which the Parent Guarantor and the Required Holders shall (if possible) agree to an amendment or waiver of terms of this Agreement sufficient to (i) eliminate or preempt any such Default or Event of Default and (ii) ensure that the amendment does not result in any material alteration in the commercial effect of the terms of this Agreement as at the Closing Date and gives the Parent Guarantor comparable headroom and flexibility to that contemplated at the Closing Date, and any amendments so agreed will take effect on the date agreed between the Parent Guarantor and the Required Holders; and

(3) in the event such good faith negotiations do not result in an amendment or waiver sufficient to eliminate or preempt any such Default or Event of Default or to ensure that the change does not result in any material alteration in the commercial effect of the terms of this Agreement within ninety (90) days of either party’s request, the Parent Guarantor shall be entitled to (in the case of a change in Accounting Principles giving rise to a Default or Event of Default or that is otherwise adverse to the Parent Guarantor) and shall if the Required Holders so request (in the case of a change in Accounting Principles adverse to the holders) re-determine or determine (as applicable) compliance with such Applicable Provision on the basis of the Accounting Principles in effect on the date of (and as applied by the Parent Guarantor in connection with) the

Group’s most recent consolidated audited financial statements issued prior to such change in Accounting Principles (“Pre-Change Accounting Principles”).

(c) In the event that any re-determination or determination (as applicable) of any Applicable Provision in accordance with Pre-Change Accounting Principles shall indicate (x) that the Parent Guarantor is then in compliance with the Applicable Provision on such basis, no Default nor Event of Default in relation thereto shall be deemed to have occurred (or be continuing) or shall occur thereafter (as applicable), and (y) that the Parent Guarantor is not then in compliance with the Applicable Provision on such basis, any Default nor Event of Default in relation thereto that would have arisen but for the relevant change in Accounting Principles shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing.

23.4. 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.

23.5. 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

23.6. 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. Delivery of an executed signature page hereto by facsimile or e-mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

23.7. 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.

23.8. 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 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 23.8(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 Non-U.S. Obligor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of a Note in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified or priority mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivering a copy thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 19, to the Issuer, as its agent for the purpose of accepting service of any process in the United States. Each Non-U.S. 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) Nothing in this Section 23.8 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.

(e) Each Non-U.S. Obligor hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer to receive for it, and on its behalf, service of process in the United States. The Issuer hereby accepts such appointment and designation for the period from the Closing Date to the date that is one calendar year after the latest maturity date of any Note as stated therein.

(f) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE),

THE NOTES, ANY OTHER FINANCE DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

23.9. Obligation to Make Payment in U.S. Dollars.

Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under the Notes in U.S. 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 any Obligor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of such Obligor, as applicable, under this Agreement or the Notes only to the extent of the amount of U.S. Dollars which such holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of U.S. Dollars that could be so purchased is less than the amount of U.S. Dollars originally due to such holder, the Obligors agree 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. As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

23.10. Tax Forms.

(a) Each Purchaser and each holder that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Issuer executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Issuer as will enable the Issuer to certify to such Purchaser or holder’s exemption from U.S. backup withholding and/or information reporting requirements.

(b) Each Purchaser and each holder that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)of the Internal Revenue Code (a “Non-U.S. Holder”) shall deliver to the Issuer on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Holder becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Issuer), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming a complete exemption from United States withholding tax on payments made under the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty);

(ii) properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (claiming a complete exemption from United States withholding tax because payments made are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business);

(iii) properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation (claiming a complete exemption from United States withholding tax on payments made); or

(iv) in the case of a Purchaser or holder claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Holder is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Issuer within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN.

(c) Each Purchaser or holder that is a Non-U.S. Holder shall deliver to the Issuer such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law to demonstrate, where applicable, that payments under this Agreement to such Purchaser or holder are exempt from United States withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA.

23.11. Transaction References.

The Obligors agree that PRICOA Capital Group may (a) refer to its role in purchasing the Notes, as well as the identity of the Obligors and the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the date on which the purchase occurred, on its internet site or in marketing materials, press releases, published “tombstone” announcements or any other print or electronic medium and (b) display the Issuer’s corporate logo in conjunction with any such reference.

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

This Guarantee Agreement, dated as of [ , 20 ] (this “Guarantee Agreement”), is made by [ ], a [ ] (the “Guarantor”) 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. BA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), [Luxfer Holdings PLC (Registered No. 3690830), a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales / the Guarantor], [the Guarantor] and each of the [other] parties listed in Schedule C attached thereto [is entering][has entered] into a Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June [ ], 2016 (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with the Persons listed in Schedule A attached thereto (collectively, 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 Issuer [proposes to issue and sell][has issued and sold] , its (i) Series A Notes due June 15, 2018 in the aggregate principal amount of US$15,000,000, (ii) Series B Notes due June [ ], 2023 in the aggregate principal amount of US$25,000,000 and (iii) Series C Notes due June [ ], 2023 in the aggregate principal amount of US$25,000,000 (collectively, the “Initial Notes”). The Initial Notes and any other Notes that may from time to time be issued pursuant to the Note Agreement (in each case as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and as in effect from time to time, 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 the Guarantor and shall be in full force and effect.][Pursuant to the Note Agreement, the Obligors are required to cause the Guarantor to deliver this Guarantee Agreement to the holders and to enter into a certain Joinder Agreement, dated the date hereof, pursuant to which the Guarantor shall become a party to the Note Agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”).]

IV. The Guarantor and the Issuer are operated as part of one consolidated business entity and are directly dependent upon each other for and in connection with their respective

Exhibit 1(b)(i)-1

business activities and their respective financial resources. The Guarantor will receive[, and has received,] direct and indirect economic and financial benefits from the indebtedness incurred under the Note Agreement and the Notes by the Issuer, and the incurrence of such indebtedness is or was in the best interests of the Guarantor. By agreeing to enter into this Guarantee Agreement and the Joinder Agreement, the Guarantor will gain substantial financial and other benefits, both direct and indirect.

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

Section 1. GUARANTEE.

The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and 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 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 owing by the Issuer to the holders under the terms and provisions of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein (all such obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guarantee in the preceding sentence is an absolute, present and continuing guarantee of payment and not of collectability and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Issuer or any other Obligor or guarantor of the Notes or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Issuer shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, the 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. The Guarantor agrees that the Notes issued in connection with the Note Agreement may (but need not) make reference to this Guarantee Agreement.

The Guarantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and save each holder harmless from and against any damage, loss, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) which such holder may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (x) any breach by the Guarantor or by the Issuer of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, this Guarantee Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, 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

Exhibit 1(b)(i)-2

Guarantee Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein and (z) enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) the provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, provided, that the Guarantor shall not be liable for any damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any holder.

The Guarantor further irrevocably and unconditionally indemnifies each holder immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability suffered by such holder if any payment obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal; the amount of the loss or liability under this indemnity will be equal to the amount such holder would otherwise have been entitled to recover.

The Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantor’s liability hereunder is joint and several with any other Person(s) who may guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations, including [the Parent Guarantor] and any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor.

Anything herein or in the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder and under the Notes and the Note Agreement shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors and this guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting financial assistance within the meaning of Sections 678 or 679 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006.

The Guarantor agrees that the obligations under and in respect of the Notes, the Note Agreement and the other Note Documents may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of the Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guarantee Agreement or affecting the rights and remedies of any holder hereunder.

Section 2. OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have against the Issuer or any holder or otherwise, and 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 the 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, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein (it being agreed that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the Notes, the Note Agreement, the other Note Documents and 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

Exhibit 1(b)(i)-3

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, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer or its property; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Guarantor or of the Issuer into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of the Guarantor or of the Issuer to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Issuer for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with the 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 the Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights the Guarantor may otherwise have. The 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.

Section 3. WAIVER.

The 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 Issuer in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, 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 the Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Issuer or the Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Issuer or to the Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Issuer, (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, the Notes or any other Note Document, (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 the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

Section 4. OBLIGATIONS UNIMPAIRED.

The Guarantor authorizes the holders, without notice or demand to the Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Note Document or other instrument: (a) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein; (b) to change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining to the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument

Exhibit 1(b)(i)-4

referred to therein, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest, the Make-Whole Amount or any other obligation; (c) to take and hold security for the payment of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, for the performance of this Guarantee Agreement or otherwise for the Guaranteed Obligations and to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such security; (d) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the holders in their sole discretion may determine; (e) to 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) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer and others, including [the Parent Guarantor and] any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor; and (g) to 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 [the Parent Guarantor or] any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor or any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Issuer, the Guarantor, [the Parent Guarantor or] any [other] Subsidiary 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 Issuer, the Guarantor or any other guarantors of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the 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 the Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 5. SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION.

(a) The Guarantor will not be entitled to and 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, nor will the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from the Issuer, [the Parent Guarantor,] any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, nor seek or be entitled to seek any rights or recourse to any security for the Notes or this Guarantee Agreement, in each case unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b) The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Financial Indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuer, [the Parent Guarantor,] any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to the 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 Financial Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by the Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds

Exhibit 1(b)(i)-5

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 the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement.

(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by the 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 the 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 the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement.

(d) The 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.

Section 6. REINSTATEMENT OF GUARANTEE.

This Guarantee Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any holder on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by a holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or any other guarantors, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Issuer or any other guarantors or any part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

Section 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTOR.

The Guarantor now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining information concerning the affairs, financial condition and business of the Issuer. No holder shall have any duty or responsibility to provide the Guarantor with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Issuer which may come into possession of the holders. The Guarantor is executing and delivering this Guarantee Agreement and each other Note Document to which it is a party without reliance upon any representation by the holders including, without limitation, with respect to (a) the due execution, validity, effectiveness or enforceability of any instrument, document or agreement evidencing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any loan or other financial accommodation made or granted to the Issuer, (b) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any property securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the creation, perfection or priority of any lien or security interest in such property or (c) the existence,

Section 9. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Guarantee Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each holder and the Guarantor and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 10. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

10.1 Requirements. 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 the Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that no amendment or waiver (a) of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 or 12.7 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), or (b) which results in the limitation of the liability of the Guarantor hereunder will be effective as to any holder unless consented to by such holder in writing.

10.2 Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The 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. The Guarantor will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2 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.

Exhibit 1(b)(i)-7

(b) Payment. The Guarantor 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.

Any consent made pursuant to this Section 10.2 by the holder of any Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer such Note to an Obligor (including the Guarantor) or any Affiliate of an Obligor and 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 transferring holder.

10.3 Binding Effect. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 10 applies equally to all holders and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon the 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. No course of dealing between the Guarantor and the holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder. 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.

10.4 Notes Held by Issuer, 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 Obligor (including the Guarantor) or any Affiliate of an Obligor shall be deemed not to be outstanding.
