 Commitment Letter 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We are pleased to confirm the arrangements under
which (a) Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. (“GSCP”) is exclusively authorized by Transocean Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Red” or the “Borrower”), and
GlobalSantaFe Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Blue” and, together with Red, the “Parents” or “you”) to act as joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner (with
“left side” designation) and administrative agent for the Bridge Loan Facility (as defined below), (b) Lehman Brothers Inc. (“LBI”) is exclusively authorized by the Parents to act as joint lead arranger and joint
bookrunner for the Bridge Loan Facility, and (c) Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (“LCPI”) is exclusively authorized by the Parents to act as syndication agent for the Bridge Loan Facility, in each case on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this letter and the attached Annexes A, B, C, D and E hereto (collectively, the “Commitment Letter”). In connection with the foregoing, GSCP, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (collectively, with affiliates,
the “LBHI”) and Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank (collectively, with affiliates, “LBCB” and together with LBHI, the “Lehman Lenders”) severally (and not jointly) commit to provide the financing for
certain transactions described herein, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter. 
  

 1 







 You have informed GSCP and each Lehman Party that Red intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”) Blue
(together with its subsidiaries, the “Merged Business”). You have also informed us that the Acquisition will be accomplished through the merger by way of scheme of arrangement qualifying as an amalgamation (the
“Merger”) of a newly created, wholly-owned subsidiary of Red (“Merger Sub”) with Blue pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Red, Blue and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”) and that
Merger Sub will be the surviving entity following the Merger. Immediately prior to the Merger and in connection with a reclassification (the “Reclassification”) by scheme of arrangement of Red’s outstanding ordinary shares
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Red will receive new ordinary shares of Red and certain cash consideration (the “Red Cash Consideration”). In connection with the Merger, shareholders of Blue will receive ordinary
shares of Red (after giving effect to the Reclassification) and certain cash consideration (the “Blue Cash Consideration” and, together with the Red Cash Consideration, the “Cash Consideration”). In addition,
certain indebtedness of the Parents will be refinanced (the “Refinancing”) with their respective excess cash. You have also informed us that the Cash Consideration will be financed from the proceeds of a $15.0 billion Senior
Unsecured Bridge Loan Facility (the “Bridge Loan Facility”). 
 Each of GSCP and LBI is pleased to confirm its commitment to act, and you
hereby appoint each of GSCP and LBI to act, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (in such capacities, each an “Arranger” and collectively the “Arrangers”) for the Bridge Loan Facility, in each case on the
terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Commitment Letter. GSCP is pleased to confirm its commitment to act, and you hereby appoint GSCP to act, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Bridge Loan
Facility, and to provide the Borrower a portion of the Bridge Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $10.0 billion, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Commitment Letter. You agree that GSCP will have
“left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Bridge Loan Facility. LCPI is pleased to confirm its commitment to act, and you hereby appoint LCPI to act, as syndication agent (the
“Syndication Agent”), on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Commitment Letter. The Lehman Lenders are pleased to confirm their commitment to provide the Borrower a portion of the Bridge Loan Facility in an
aggregate principal amount equal to $5.0 billion, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Commitment Letter. GSCP’s and the Lehman Lenders’, LBI’s and LCPI’s ( collectively, the “Lehman
Parties”) fees for services related to the Bridge Loan Facility are set forth in a separate fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) entered into by the Parents, GSCP and the Lehman Parties on the date hereof. In addition, pursuant to
an engagement letter (the “Engagement Letter”) entered into on the date hereof, among the Parents, Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) and LBI, the Parents have, among other things, offered Goldman Sachs
and LBI the right to act as joint underwriters, initial purchasers, joint bookrunners and/or joint placement agents, in each case, for the Parents and for their respective affiliates in connection with any underwritten offering or private placement
of Permanent Securities (as defined therein). 
 GSCP’s and the Lehman Lenders’ commitments are subject to, as of the Closing Date (as defined in
Annex B), there not having been or continuing to exist any event, change, occurrence, effect, fact, circumstance or condition since December 31, 2006 that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or is reasonably likely to have, a
“Material Adverse Effect,” as defined in the Merger Agreement, and not otherwise actually disclosed in or contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the schedules thereto (to the extent permitted to be disclosed pursuant to the terms
of the Merger Agreement), with respect to the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Blue and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. GSCP’s and the Lehman Parties’ respective commitments are also subject to the negotiation,
execution and delivery of appropriate definitive loan documents relating to the Bridge Loan Facility including, 

  

 2 







 
without limitation, a credit agreement and other related definitive documents (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) to be based upon and
consistent with the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and the Existing Facility (as defined in Annex B) and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Parents, GSCP, and the Lehman Parties. 
 GSCP and each Lehman Party intends and reserves the right to syndicate the Bridge Loan Facility to the Lenders (as defined in Annex B), and you acknowledge and agree
that GSCP and the Lehman Parties intend to commence syndication efforts promptly following your acceptance of this Commitment Letter. GSCP and the Lehman Parties will select the Lenders with the consent of the Parents (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). GSCP and the Lehman Parties will lead the syndication (in consultation with the Parents), including determining the timing of all offers to potential Lenders, any title of agent or similar designations or roles awarded to any
Lender and the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered and the compensation provided to each Lender from the amounts to be paid to GSCP and the Lehman Parties pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter. GSCP and the
Lehman Parties will determine (in consultation with the Parents) the final commitment allocations. Each Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that GSCP’s and the Lehman Parties’ syndication efforts benefit from the
existing lending relationships of such Parent and its respective subsidiaries. To facilitate an orderly and successful syndication of the Bridge Loan Facility, you agree that, until the earlier of the date on which GSCP and the Lehman Lenders
collectively hold no more than one-third of the total outstanding commitments under the Bridge Loan Facility (a “Successful Syndication”) and 60 days following the date of initial funding under the Bridge Loan Facility, the Parents
and their respective subsidiaries will not syndicate or issue, attempt to syndicate or issue, announce or authorize the announcement of the syndication or issuance of any third-party debt facility or debt security of the Parents or any of their
respective subsidiaries (other than (i) the Bridge Loan Facility, (ii) in connection with the increase of the aggregate amount of Red’s existing Working Capital Facility (as defined in Annex B) to $2.0 billion; provided that
Red shall have first consulted with GSCP and the Lehman Parties, and (iii) additional indebtedness the proceeds of which are used to reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the commitments of GSCP and the Lehman Lenders hereunder (proportionately,
based upon the amount of their respective commitments hereunder); provided that if such indebtedness is a loan facility the Parents shall have first consulted with GSCP and the Lehman Parties), including any renewals or refinancings of any
existing debt facility or debt security, without the prior written consent of GSCP and the Lehman Parties. GSCP and the Lehman Parties shall provide the Parents prompt notice of the achievement of a Successful Syndication. Without limiting the
Parents’ obligations to assist with the syndication as set forth in this Commitment Letter and subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, GSCP and the Lehman Lenders agree that the completion of such syndication is not a condition to
their commitments under this Commitment Letter. 
 The Parents agree to cooperate with the Arrangers in connection with (i) the preparation of an
information package regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of the Parents and their respective subsidiaries including, without limitation, the delivery of all information relating to the transactions contemplated
hereunder prepared by or on behalf of the Parents or their respective subsidiaries deemed reasonably necessary by the Arrangers to complete the syndication of the Bridge Loan Facility (including, without limitation, obtaining a corporate family
rating from Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and a corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw Hill Corporation (“S&P”)) and
(ii) the presentation of an information package customary in format and content in meetings and other communications with prospective Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Loan Facility (including, without limitation, direct
contact between senior management and representatives of the Parents and their respective subsidiaries with prospective Lenders and participation of such persons in meetings); provided that (i) each Parent shall not be required to
provide any information required hereby to the extent such information relates solely to the other Parent and its subsidiaries and (ii) Red shall solely be responsible for any combined financial 

  

 3 







 
projections included in such materials. The Parents further agree that the commitment of GSCP and the Lehman Lenders hereunder is conditioned upon the
Parents’ satisfaction in all material respects of the requirements of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph by a date sufficient to afford the Arrangers a period of at least 30 consecutive days following the launch of the general
syndication of the Bridge Loan Facility to syndicate the Bridge Loan Facility prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Annex B). The Parents will be solely responsible for the contents of any such information package and presentation and acknowledge
that GSCP and the Lehman Parties will be using and relying upon the information contained in such information package and presentation without independent verification thereof; provided that (i) each Parent will not be responsible for
the contents thereof relating to the other Parent and its subsidiaries to the extent provided solely by or on behalf of the other Parent and its subsidiaries and (ii) Red shall solely be responsible for any combined financial projections
included in such materials. The Parents agree that information regarding the Bridge Loan Facility and information provided by the Parents or their respective representatives to GSCP and the Lehman Parties in connection with the Bridge Loan Facility
(including, without limitation, draft and execution versions of the Loan Documents, opinions of counsel, publicly filed financial statements, and draft or final offering materials relating to contemporaneous or prior securities issuances by the
Parents) may be disseminated to potential Lenders and other persons through one or more internet sites (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace (the “Platform”)) created for purposes of syndicating the Bridge
Loan Facility or otherwise, in accordance with each Arranger’s standard syndication practices (including hard copy and via electronic transmissions), and you acknowledge that none of GSCP, the Lehman Parties or any of their respective
affiliates will be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for damages arising from the use by others of the information or other materials obtained on the Platform. 
 The Parents acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e. Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Parents or their respective
subsidiaries or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). At the request of GSCP or the Lehman Parties, the Parents agree to prepare an additional version of the information package and presentation to be used by
Public Lenders that does not contain material non-public information concerning the Parents, their respective subsidiaries or their respective securities. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, authorization
letters will be included in any Confidential Information Memorandum that authorize the distribution of the Confidential Information Memorandum to prospective Lenders, containing a representation to the Arrangers that the public-side version does not
include material non-public information about the Parents, their respective subsidiaries or their respective securities. In addition, the Parents agree that unless specifically labeled “Private — Contains Non-Public Information,” no
information, documentation or other data disseminated to prospective Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Loan Facility, whether through an internet site (including, without limitation, the Platform), electronically, in
presentations at meetings or otherwise, will contain any material non-public information concerning the Parents, their respective subsidiaries or their securities. For the avoidance of any doubt, the each Parent acknowledges and agrees that the
following documents may be distributed to Public Lenders (unless such Parent promptly notifies GSCP and the Lehman Parties that any such document contains material non-public information with respect to such Parent, its subsidiaries or its
securities): (a) drafts and final versions of the Loan Documents and opinions of counsel; (b) administrative materials prepared by the Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and
closing memoranda); and (c) term sheets and notification of changes in the terms of the Bridge Loan Facility. 
 Each Parent represents and covenants
that (i) all information (other than financial projections, budgets, other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry nature) provided directly or indirectly by such Parent or its subsidiaries to GSCP, the
Lehman Parties or the Lenders in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder is and will be, when taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material


  

 4 







 
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading and (ii) the financial projections
that have been or will be made available to GSCP, the Lehman Parties or the Lenders by or on behalf of such Parent or its subsidiaries have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by the preparer thereof to
be reasonable at the time made, it being understood and agreed that financial projections are not a guarantee of financial performance and actual results may differ from financial projections and such differences may be material; provided
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any combined financial projections for the Borrower and the Merged Business the representation and covenant in this clause (ii) shall be made by Red with respect to such combined financial
projections. Each Parent agrees that if at any time prior to the Closing Date, any of the representations in the preceding sentence by such Parent would be incorrect in any material respect if the information and financial projections were being
furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then such Parent will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the information and financial projections so that such representations will be correct in all material
respects under those circumstances. We understand and agree that none of Red or any of its affiliates represents or covenants with respect to Blue or any of its affiliates, except as provided in the proviso to clause (ii) of this paragraph, and
none of Blue or any of its affiliates represents or covenants with respect to Red or any of its affiliates. 
 In connection with arrangements such as this,
it is our respective firm’s policy to receive indemnification. Each Parent agrees to the provisions with respect to our indemnity and other matters set forth in Annex A, which is incorporated by reference into this Commitment Letter.

 This Commitment Letter may not be assigned by you without the prior written consent of GSCP and the Lehman Parties (and any purported assignment without
such consent will be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto. Each of GSCP and the
Lehman Lenders may assign its commitment hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates or, as provided above, to any Lender (with the prior consent of the Parents, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior to the Closing
Date, and upon such assignment, GSCP or the Lehman Lenders, as applicable, will be released from the portion of its commitment hereunder that has been assigned; provided that if such assignment is to a Lender such assignment shall be approved
by the Parents and shall be pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Parents enforceable by the Parents against such Lender. Neither this Commitment Letter nor the Fee Letter may be amended or any term or provision hereof or thereof
waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto and thereto, and any term or provision hereof or thereof may be amended or waived only by a written agreement executed and delivered by all parties hereto.

 Each of GSCP and the Lehman Lenders hereby notifies the Parents that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) it and each Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of, the Borrower
and other information that will allow GSCP, the Lehman Lenders and each Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and is effective for GSCP, the
Lehman Lenders and each Lender. 
 Please note that this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and any written or oral advice provided by GSCP and the Lehman
Parties in connection with this arrangement are exclusively for the information of the Parents and may not be disclosed to any third party or circulated or referred to publicly without our prior written consent except, after providing written notice
to GSCP and the Lehman Parties, pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial, administrative or legislative body or committee; provided that we hereby consent to (a) your disclosure of
(i) this Commitment Letter, 

  

 5 







 
the Fee Letter and such advice to the Parents’ respective officers, directors and legal and accounting advisors who are directly involved in the
consideration of the Bridge Loan Facility and who have been informed by you of the confidential nature of such advice and the Commitment Letter and Fee Letter and who have agreed to treat such information confidentially, and (ii) this
Commitment Letter and the information contained herein and the aggregate amount (and accounting effect) of the fees provided for in the Fee Letter, in each case as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process or rule of a stock exchange

Fee Letter in the Merger Agreement and, to the extent required, in the proxy materials directly related to the Acquisition and related filings. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination or completion of the arrangement provided

Parents, their respective subsidiaries or other companies which may be the subject of the arrangements contemplated by this Commitment Letter. 
 GSCP and
its affiliates, including Goldman Sachs (collectively “GS”) and the Lehman Parties and their affiliates (collectively “Lehman”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Parents. You agree that GS
and Lehman will act under this Commitment Letter as an independent contractor and that nothing in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other
implied duty between GS and Lehman and the Parents, their respective shareholders or their respective affiliates (except as may otherwise be agreed to by either GS or Lehman in a separate written agreement with such Parent). You acknowledge and
agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter are arm’s-length commercial transactions between GS and Lehman, on the one hand, and each Parent, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and
with the process leading to such transaction GS and Lehman are acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of either Parent, its management, shareholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) neither GS nor Lehman have assumed
an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of either Parent with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether GS, Lehman or any of their respective affiliates have advised or are
currently advising a Parent on other matters) or any other obligation to such Parent, except the obligations expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and as may otherwise be agreed to by either GS or Lehman in a separate
written agreement with such Parent and (iv) each Parent has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. Each Parent further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent
judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Parent agrees that it will not claim that GS or Lehman has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Parent, in
connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto (except as may otherwise be agreed to by either GS or Lehman in a separate written agreement with such Parent). In addition, GS and Lehman may employ the services of their respective
affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and may exchange with such affiliates information concerning the Parents, their respective subsidiaries and other companies that may be the subject of this arrangement, and such affiliates shall be
entitled to the benefits afforded to GS and Lehman hereunder. 
  

 6 







 In addition, please note that none of GSCP, Goldman Sachs, the Lehman Parties or their respective affiliates provide
accounting, tax or legal advice. 
 Consistent with GSCP’s and the Lehman Parties’ policies to hold in confidence the affairs of its customers
(including pursuant to the terms of any separate agreement among the parties hereto entered into in connection with the Acquisition or the Bridge Loan Facility), neither GSCP nor the Lehman Parties will furnish confidential information obtained from
you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter to any of its other customers. Furthermore, you acknowledge that none of GSCP, the Lehman Parties or any of their respective affiliates has an obligation to use in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained or that may be obtained by them from any other person. 
 Each of GSCP’s and the Lehman Lenders’ commitments hereunder will terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the consummation of the Acquisition, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement and
(iii) the date that is one year from the effective date of the Merger Agreement (which date shall not be later than July 31, 2007) unless the closing of the Bridge Loan Facility, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein,
shall have been consummated on or before such date. 
 Each Parent agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect to this letter or our commitment
or the Fee Letter will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in the City of New York, and each Parent agrees to
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such court. Each Parent hereby appoints CT Corporation, as its agent for service of process for purposes of the foregoing sentence only. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any action
or proceeding arising in connection with or as a result of either our commitment or any matter referred to in this letter or the Fee Letter is hereby waived by the parties hereto. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. 
 This Commitment Letter may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed will be an original, and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Commitment Letter by
facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in pdf format) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter are the only agreements that have been entered into among the
parties hereto with respect to the Bridge Loan Facility and set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect thereto and supersede any prior written or oral agreements among the parties hereto with respect to the Bridge Loan Facility.

 Annex A 
 In the event that GSCP or any Lehman Party becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any person, including shareholders of each Parent, in connection with or as
a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter (together, the “Letters”), such Parent agrees to reimburse GSCP and each Lehman Party, as the case may be, for its reasonable
out-of-pocket legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith. If the Acquisition is not consummated, then each Parent shall be severally, and not jointly, responsible for, in the
case of Red, 66 2/3%, and, in the case of Blue, 33 1/3% of such expenses. Each Parent also agrees to indemnify and hold GSCP and each Lehman Party harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to any such person in connection
with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in the Letters, and without regard to the exclusive or contributory negligence of GSCP and each Lehman Party, except to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability
has been found by a final, non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of GSCP or such Lehman Party, as the case may be, in performing the services that are
the subject of the Letters. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to GSCP or any Lehman Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Parents shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by GSCP or such Lehman Party,
as the case may be, as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of (i) the Parents and their respective affiliates and shareholders on the one hand and
(ii) GSCP and the Lehman Parties on the other hand, in the matters contemplated by the Letters as well as the relative fault of (i) the Parents and their respective affiliates or shareholders and (ii) GSCP and the Lehman Parties with
respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, further, that if the Acquisition is not consummated, then each Parent, as the case may be, shall be solely responsible to indemnify,
pay and hold harmless such indemnified parties against any such loss, liability, cost or expense that arises out of or is based upon any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by such Parent (including its share of any loss,
liability, cost or expense that arose out of or was based upon any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the other Parent). The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Parents under this paragraph shall be
in addition to any liability which the Parents may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of GSCP, any affiliate of the Lehman Parties and the partners, officers, directors, agents, employees and controlling
persons (if any), as the case may be, of GSCP and the Lehman Parties and any such affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Parents, GSCP, the Lehman Parties,
any such affiliate and any such person. Each Parent also agrees that none of GSCP, the Lehman Parties or any of such affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability based on its or their
exclusive or contributory negligence or otherwise to such Parent or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of such Parent or any other person in connection with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in the
Letters, except in the case of such Parent to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by such Parent or its affiliates or shareholders have been found by a final, non appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such indemnified party in connection with this arrangement or any other such matter referred to in the Letters; provided, however, that
in no event shall such indemnified party, or other parties, have any liability for any indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such indemnified party’s or such other parties’ or activities related
to the Letters. In no event shall the acts or omissions of GSCP or the Lehman Parties, as the case may be, have any effect on the rights and privileges of the other party. The provisions of this Annex A shall survive any termination or completion
of the arrangement provided by the Letters

	Closing Date:	  	The date on or before the date that is one year from the effective date of the Merger Agreement (which date shall not be later than July 31, 2007) on which the borrowings under the
Bridge Loan Facility are made and the Acquisition is consummated (the “Closing Date”).
		
	Amortization:	  	No amortization will be required with respect to the Bridge Loan Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility will be due and payable on the Maturity Date of the Bridge Loan
Facility.
		
	Interest Rate:	  	All amounts outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility will bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either (a) the Base Rate or (b) the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the
Applicable Margins.
		
		  	As used herein, the terms “Base Rate” and “reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate” will have meanings customary for financings of this type, and the basis for
calculating accrued interest and the interest periods for loans bearing interest at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be customary for financings of this type. Interest on amounts not paid when due will accrue at a rate equal to the rate on
loans bearing interest at the rate determined by reference to the rate applicable to such unpaid amounts plus an additional two percentage points (2.00%) per annum and shall be payable on demand.
		
		  	The Applicable Margin shall equal the percentage designated on Annex D and based upon the Borrower’s Credit Ratings (as defined in Annex D) as in effect from time to time.
		
	Interest Payments:	  	Quarterly for loans bearing interest with reference to the Base Rate; except as set forth below, on the last day of selected interest periods (which shall be one, two, three and six months) for
loans bearing interest with reference to the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (and at the end of every three months, in the case of interest periods of longer than three months); and upon prepayment, in each case payable in arrears and computed on
the basis of a 360-day year (365/366 day year with respect to loans bearing interest with reference to the Base Rate).
		
	Funding Protection:	  	Customary for transactions of this type, including breakage costs, gross-up for withholding, compensation for increased costs and compliance with capital adequacy and other regulatory
restrictions and related sunset and lender mitigation provisions, similar to those in the Existing Facility (as defined below).
		
	Voluntary Prepayments:	  	The Bridge Loan Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that loans bearing interest with reference to the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate
will be prepayable only on the last day of the related interest period unless the Borrower pays any related breakage costs.
