      precedent (opschortende
      voorwaarde) of (i) the occurrence of a Voting Event and (ii) the

                (b)

              	
                that
      no such exercise may have the effect of impairing the position or
      interests of the Pledgee; and

              

      

      
        	
              	
                (c)

Pledge:

              

      

    

    
      
        	
              	
                (a)

              	
                any
      and all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the Voting Rights which it is
      entitled to exercise pursuant to Article 3.1 above shall cease
      automatically without further notice to the Pledgor being required and the
      Pledgee shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise
      such Voting Rights and shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from
      exercising such rights in such manner as the Pledgee (acting on the
      instructions of the Note Trustee) may in its absolute discretion deem fit;
      and

              

      

      
        	
              	
                (b)

              	
                the
      Pledgee shall immediately be entitled (acting on the instructions of the
      Note Trustee), at any time at its sole discretion, to effect the
      resignation of and/or to dismiss the directors of the Company or any of
      them, and to appoint new directors of the Company and the Pledgor hereby
      undertakes to do all things and execute all documents and instruments as
      may be required by the Pledgee to ensure the effectiveness of any such
      resignations, dismissals or
appointments.

              

      

    

    
      
        	
                3.

              	
                By
      signing this deed, the Company confirms (and the other parties agree) that
      a written notice from the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Note
      Trustee) to the Company stating that a Voting Event has occurred, shall be
      sufficient for the Company to accept the Pledgee as being exclusively
      entitled to such rights and other powers which it is entitled to exercise
      pursuant to this Article 3 upon the occurrence of such a Voting Event and
      subject to the termination and/or release of the Existing Rights of
      Pledge.

              

      

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    
      
        	
                4.

              	
                In
      addition and without prejudice to the obligations of the Pledgor pursuant
      to the Indenture, each of the Pledgor and the Company agrees to notify the
      Pledgee and the Note Trustee immediately of any event or circumstance
      which could reasonably be of importance to the Pledgee and/or the Note
      Trustee with a view to the preservation and exercise of the Pledgee’s
      rights under or pursuant to this deed, such as (without limitation) the
      filing of a petition for the bankruptcy (faillissement) of the
      Pledgor, the filing of a petition for a moratorium of payments (surséance van betaling) by the
      Pledgor, attachment or garnishment of the Pledgor’s assets, the
      termination of any one of the Pledgor’s commercial activities or its
      dissolution.

              

      

      
        	
                5.

              	
                Upon
      the occurrence of a Voting Event and subject to the termination and/or
      release of the Existing Rights of Pledge, the Pledgee shall have the
      rights which the law attributes to holders of depositary receipts, issued
      with a company's co-operation, of shares in its
  capital.

              

      

      
        	
                6.

              	
                During
      the term of the Right of Pledge, the foregoing provisions of this Article
      3 with respect to the Voting Rights on the Shares also apply to the Future
      Shares. In addition, the Pledgor and the Pledgee shall, if reasonably
      practicable, at the time of or, if not practicable at such time, as soon
      as reasonably practicable after, the acquisition of such Future Shares,
      arrange that the attribution of the Voting Rights attaching thereto shall
      be ratified if that is reasonably deemed necessary, in the Pledgee's sole
      discretion, to enable the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Note
      Trustee) to exercise such voting rights upon the occurrence of the
      condition precedent as provided in Article 3.1 of this deed. If such
      ratification is, at the Pledgee's sole discretion, not obtained in time,

                e.

                2.

                As
      to the existence and composition of the Secured Obligations, a written
      statement by the Pledgee made in accordance with his books shall

      understood that in the event of a disagreement with respect thereto, the
      Pledgee shall be authorized to exercise his right of execution, with due
      observance of the obligation of the Pledgee to pay over all amounts which
      afterwards would appear to be received by him in excess of his rights and
      with due regard to the relevant provisions of the Existing Rights of
      Pledge.

                If
      a provision of this deed is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable

      validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other
      provision of this deed.

      incurred by the Pledgee and the Note Trustee in connection with the
      negotiation, creation or execution of any documentation in connection with
      the Right of Pledge and the enforcement of the Right of Pledge will be for
      the account of the Pledgor.

              

      

      
        	
                7.

              	
                The
      Pledgor, the Company and the Pledgee hereby waive, to the fullest extent
      permitted by law, their right to rescind this deed pursuant to failure in
      the performance of one or more of their obligations as referred to in
      Section 6:265 of the Dutch Civil Code or on any other
    ground.

              

      

      
        	
                8.

              	
                The
      Pledgee shall not be obligated to give notice of a sale to someone other
      than to the Pledgor as referred to in the Sections 3:249 and 3:252 of the
      Dutch Civil Code.

              

      

      
        	
                9.

              	
                Neither
      the Pledgee nor the Note Trustee shall be responsible for any loss
      occasioned by the timing of the exercise of its powers under this deed
      other than by virtue of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful
      misconduct. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee and the Note Trustee
      in respect of all liabilities and reasonable expenses incurred by the
      Pledgee or the Note Trustee, as the case may be, in the execution of any
      rights, powers or discretions vested in it pursuant hereto, save for
      liabilities and expenses arising from the bad faith, gross negligence or
      willful misconduct of the Pledgee or the Note Trustee, as the case may
      be.

              

      

      
        	
                10.

              	
                The
      Pledgor is not entitled to file a request with the voorzieningenrechter of
      the district court to sell the Shares in a manner which deviates from the
      sale in public as referred to in Section 3:251 paragraph 1 of the Dutch

(the “Company”), proposes
to issue and sell to the several Initial Purchasers listed in Schedule 1 hereto
(the “Initial
Purchasers”), for whom Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch is acting as

Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have

agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein,
agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective

Purchaser's name in Schedule 1 hereto.  The Company will not be

        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b) Each
of the Company and the Guarantors understands that the Initial Purchasers intend
to offer the Notes for resale on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale
Information.  Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly,
represents, warrants and agrees that:

     

    (i)           it
is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the
Securities Act (a “QIB”) and an
accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act;

     

    (ii)          it
has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers
for, or offer or sell, the Notes by means of any form of general solicitation or
general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act (“Regulation D”) or in
any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act; and

     

    (iii)         it

except:

     

    (A)
within the United States to persons whom it reasonably believes to be QIBs in
transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and in
connection with each such sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps to
ensure that the purchaser of the Notes is aware that such sale is being made in
reliance on Rule 144A; or

     

    (B) in
accordance with the restrictions set forth in Annex B hereto.

     

    (c) Each
Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each of the Company and the
Guarantors and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial
Purchasers pursuant to Sections 6(g) and 6(h), counsel for the Company and the
Guarantors and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, respectively, may rely upon
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers,
and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, contained in
paragraph (b) above (including Annex B hereto), and each Initial Purchaser
hereby consents to such reliance.

     

    (d) Each
of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that the Initial
Purchasers may offer and sell the Notes to or through any affiliate of an
Initial Purchaser and that any such affiliate may offer and sell the Notes
purchased by it to or through any Initial Purchaser.

     

    (e) Each
of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that each Initial
Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual
counterparty to the Company and the Guarantors with respect to the offering of
Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of
the offering) and not as financial advisor or fiduciary to, or agent of, the
Company, the Guarantors or any other person.  Additionally, the
Initial Purchasers are not advising the Company, the Guarantors or any other
person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any
jurisdiction.  The Company and the Guarantors shall consult with their
own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their
own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and the Initial Purchasers shall have neither any responsibility nor any
liability to the Company or the Guarantors with respect thereto. Any review by
the Initial Purchasers of the Company, the Guarantors, and the transactions
contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be
performed solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and shall not be on
behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or any other person.

    2.

Delivery.  (b)  The closing of the purchase of the
Notes by the several Initial Purchasers will occur at the offices of Simpson

Initial Purchasers and the Company may agree upon in writing.  The
time and date of such payment and delivery is referred to herein as the “Closing
Date”.

     

    (b) The
Notes sold within the United States to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A will be
represented by one or more global notes in registered form without interest
coupons attached (the “144A Global
Note”).  The Notes sold outside the United States in reliance
on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”) will
be represented by one or more global notes in registered form without interest
coupons attached (together with the Rule 144A Global Note, the “Global
Notes”).

     

    (c)
Payment for the Notes shall be made by the Representative on behalf of the

    3.          
 Representations
and Warranties of the Company and the Guarantors.  The Company,
and the Guarantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to each Initial
Purchaser that:

     

    (a) Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Time of Sale
Information and Offering Memorandum.  Each document, if any,
filed or to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference
in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information or the
Offering Memorandum complied or will comply when so filed in all material
respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder.  The Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as of its
date, did not, the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale, did not, and
the Offering Memorandum, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, will not,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the
Company and the Guarantors make no representation or warranty with respect to
any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in
writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use
in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information or the
Offering Memorandum, it being understood and agreed that the only such
information is that described in Section 7(b) hereof.  No order or
decree preventing the use of the Time of Sale Information or the Offering
Memorandum, or any order asserting that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or
any other securities laws has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose
has commenced or is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of the
Guarantors, is contemplated.

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b) Additional Written
Communications.   Other than the Preliminary Offering
Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, neither the Company, nor any Guarantor
(including its respective agents and representatives, other than the Initial
Purchasers in their capacity as such, as to which no representation is made) has
made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to or will prepare, make,
use, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication that constitutes
an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes other than the
written communications listed on Annex A hereto and other written communications
used in accordance with Section 4(c).

     

    (c) Financial
Statements.  The financial statements and the related notes
thereto included in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering
Memorandum present fairly the financial position of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations and
the changes in their cash flows for the periods specified; such financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a
consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby; the other financial
information and data included in each of the Time of Sale Information and the
Offering Memorandum has been derived from the accounting records or operating
systems of the Company and its subsidiaries and presents fairly the information
shown thereby; and the pro
forma financial information and the related notes thereto included in the
Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum (i) present fairly the
information shown therein, (ii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP on a
basis consistent with the financial statements and related notes included in the
Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum (except for the pro forma adjustments
specified therein), (iii) except as set forth in the Offering Memorandum,
include all material adjustments to the financial statements included in the
Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum necessary to give effect to
the transactions referred to therein and (iv) the assumptions underlying such
pro forma financial information are reasonable and are set forth in the Time of
Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

     

    (d) No Material Adverse

making or distributing any amendment or supplement to any of the Time of Sale
Information or the Offering Memorandum, the Company and each of the Guarantors
will furnish to the Representative and counsel for the Initial Purchasers a copy
of the proposed Offering Memorandum or such proposed amendment or supplement for
review, and will not distribute any such proposed Offering Memorandum, amendment
or supplement to which the Representative or the counsel to the Initial
Purchasers reasonably objects unless such amendment or supplement is required to
be made or distributed by applicable provisions of U.S. federal securities
laws.

     

    (c) Additional Written
Communications. Before using, authorizing, approving or referring to any
written communication (as defined in the Securities Act) that constitutes an

    (d) Notice to the
Representative.  The Company and each of the Guarantors will
advise the Representative promptly, and confirm such advice in writing, (i) of
the issuance by any governmental or regulatory authority of any order preventing
or suspending the use of any of the Time of Sale Information or the Offering
Memorandum or promptly upon becoming aware of the initiation or threatening of
any proceeding for that purpose, (ii) of the occurrence of any event at any time
prior to the completion of the initial offering of the Notes as a result of
which any of the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum as then
amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances existing when such Time of Sale Information or
the Offering Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading and (iii) of
the receipt by the Company or each of the Guarantors of any notice with respect
to any suspension of the qualification of the Notes for offer and sale in any
jurisdiction or promptly upon becoming aware of the initiation or threatening of
any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company and each of the Guarantors will
use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order
preventing or suspending the use of any of the Time of Sale Information or the
Offering Memorandum or suspending any such qualification of the Notes and, if

    (e) Ongoing Compliance of the Offering
Memorandum and Time of Sale Information.  If at any time prior
to the completion of the initial offering of the Notes (as notified by the
Initial Purchasers to the Company) (i) any event shall occur or condition shall
exist as a result of which the Offering Memorandum as then amended or
supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances existing when the Offering Memorandum is
delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or
supplement the Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Company will promptly
notify the Initial Purchasers thereof and forthwith prepare, at its own expense
and, subject to paragraph (b) above, furnish to the Initial Purchasers such
amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum as may be necessary so that
the statements in the Offering Memorandum as so amended or supplemented will
not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Offering Memorandum is
delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Offering Memorandum will
comply with law.

     

    (f) Qualification of the
Notes.  The Company and each of the Guarantors will qualify the
Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representative shall reasonably request and will continue

the Notes; provided that neither
the Company nor any of the Guarantors shall be required to (i) qualify as a
foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file
any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii)
subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so
subject.

Securities Act, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, during any period
in which the Company is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act and not exempt from reporting under Rule 12g3-2(b)

accordance with Regulation S.

     

    (l) No
Integration.  Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates (as
defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) will, directly or through any agent,
sell, offer for sale, solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect
of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act), that is or will be
integrated with the sale of the Notes in a manner that would require
registration of the Notes under the Securities Act.

Selling Efforts.  None of the Company or any of its affiliates

as to which no covenant is given) will (i) solicit offers for, or offer or sell,
the Notes by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising
within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D or in any manner involving a
public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or (ii)
engage in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Regulation S, and
all such persons will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of

    (n) No
Stabilization.  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could
reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation
of the price of the Notes, or issue any press or other public announcement
referring to the proposed offering of the Notes that does not adequately
disclose the fact that stabilizing action may take place with respect to the
Notes.  The Company and the Guarantors authorize the Representatives
to make adequate public disclosure of the information required by the U.K.
Financial Services Authority's Code of Market Conduct (MAR2): Price Stabilising
Rules.

     

    (o) Exchange
Listing.  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to

such listing on the Exchange, and to have the Notes admitted to trading on the
Exchange as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and in any event
prior to the date of the first interest payment on the Notes.  If the
Notes cease to be listed on the Exchange, the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts as soon as practicable to list such Notes on a stock exchange to be
agreed between the Company and the Representative.

     

    (p) Taxes.  The Company
and each of the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold

account of, any current or future taxes (other than income taxes), levies,
imposts, duties, charges or other deductions or withholdings levied in any
jurisdiction from or through which payment is made, unless such deduction or
withholding is required by applicable law, in which event the Company will pay
additional amounts so that the persons entitled to such payments will receive
the amount that such persons would otherwise have received but for such
deduction or withholding after allowing for any tax credit or other benefit each
such person receives by reason of such deduction or withholding.

withheld and provided that if no response is received from the Representative
within 24 hours of receipt by the Representative of such draft press release or
other communication or notice of a press conference, as the case may be, such
consent will be deemed to have been given), unless in the judgment of the
Company and the Guarantors and their counsel, and after notification to the

    All
opinions, letters, certificates and evidence mentioned above or elsewhere in

    7.           
 Indemnification
and Contribution.

     

    (a) Indemnification of the Initial
Purchasers.  The Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and
severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its
affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such
Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim
asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise
out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Time of Sale Information or the Offering
Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company
in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for
use therein (it being understood that the only such information is that
described in Section 7(b) hereof).

     

    (b) Indemnification of the Company and
the Guarantors.  Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and
not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Guarantors,
their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls
the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser
furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the
Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of
the other Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment
or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such
information consists of the sixth, eighth and eleventh paragraphs relating to
the Initial Purchasers under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in each of the
Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum.

     

    (c) Notice and
Procedures.  If any suit, action, proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or
asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought
pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”)
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought
(the “Indemnifying
Person”) in writing; provided that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has
been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or
defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this
Section 7.  If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted
against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person
thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in, and assume
the defense of, such proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related
to such proceeding, as incurred.  In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person
unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have
mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within
a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person, (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to
those available to the Indemnifying Person or (iv) the named parties in any such
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying
Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them.  It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying
Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate
firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons and that all
such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred provided that
the Indemnifying Person shall be reimbursed for such fees and expenses if such
Indemnified Person is not found liable by final non-appealable judgment and the
Indemnified Person has actually received reimbursement for such fees and
expenses from a third party.  Any such separate firm for any Initial
Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of
such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by Deutsche Bank AG,
London Branch and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantors and any
control persons of the Company and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing
by the Company.  The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an
Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse
the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this
paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such
request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the
Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement.  No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent
of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is a party and
indemnification has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless
such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified
Person.

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

    
      
         

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

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

     

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

     

    8.          
 Termination.  This
Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Initial
Purchasers, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have
been suspended or materially limited on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, New
York Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market,
(ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of the
Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter
market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have
been declared by U.S. Federal or New York State authorities or by the competent
governmental or regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom, (iv) there shall
have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism or
any change in financial markets or any calamity, crisis, or emergency either
within or outside the United States that, in the judgment of the Initial
Purchasers, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the
manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the
Offering Memorandum, (v) exchange controls shall have been imposed by the United
States or the United Kingdom or (vi) the representation in Section 3(a) is
incorrect.

    9.         
  Defaulting
Initial Purchaser.  (a)  If, on the Closing Date, any
Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Notes that it has
agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their
discretion arrange for the purchase of such Notes by other persons satisfactory
to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement.  If, within
36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting
Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then the
Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to
procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to
purchase such Notes on such terms.  If other persons become obligated
or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the
non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date
for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the
opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be
necessary in the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement,
and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the
Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes.  As used in this
Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this
Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in
Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Notes that a
defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

     

    (b) If,
after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial
Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate
principal amount of such Notes that remains unpurchased does not exceed
one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, then the
Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to
purchase the principal amount of Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to
purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser's pro rata share (based on the
principal amount of Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase
hereunder) of the Notes of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial
Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

     

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

     

    (d)
Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any
liability it may have to the Company, the Guarantors or any non-defaulting
Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

     

    10.           Payment of Expenses.
(a)  Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company and each of the
Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and
expenses (together with any value added tax thereon) incidental to the
performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without
limitation, (i) the costs incidental to the authorization, issuance, sale,
preparation and delivery of the Notes and any taxes payable in that connection;

Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information and the Offering
Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution

disbursements of external accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the registration or qualification and determination of
eligibility for investment of the Notes under the laws of such jurisdictions as
the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution
of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for
the Initial Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the
Notes and all fees and expenses relating to the rating agency process, including
those incident to making presentations to the rating agencies; (vii) the fees

(including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all
expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the application for
the Notes’ eligibility for clearance and settlement through Euroclear and
Clearstream; (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company, the Guarantors and the
Initial Purchasers in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential

Notes; (xii) the fees and expenses of any Authorized Agent (as defined in
Section 14 hereof); (xiii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent or

and sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers and resales by the Initial
Purchasers to the purchasers thereof; (xv) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including reasonable fees and other charges of
professional advisors subject to the cap on legal fees set out in Section
10(a)(iv)) not otherwise specifically provided for herein; and (xvi) all other
costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company and the Guarantors
of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents, whether or not otherwise specifically provided for in this
Section.

    (b) If
(i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8, (ii) the Company for any
reason fails to tender the Notes for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii)
the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted
under this Agreement, the Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and
severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably
incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the
offering contemplated hereby.

     

    11.           Persons Entitled to Benefit
of Agreement.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and any
controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, officers and
directors of each Initial Purchaser referred to in Section 7
hereof.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed
to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.  No
purchaser of Notes from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor
merely by reason of such purchase.

     

    12.           Survival.  The
respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and
agreements of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained
in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or the
Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered
pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Notes and
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the
Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers.

    13.           Certain Defined
Terms.  For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where
otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the
meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means a
day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks are open for general

    (c) Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     

    (d) Submission to
Jurisdiction.  The Company and each of the Guarantors
irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New
York State court in the Borough of Manhattan in the City, County and State of
New York, United States of America, in any legal suit, action or proceeding
based on or arising under this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect
of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court.  The
Company and each of the Guarantors irrevocably waive the defense of an
inconvenient forum or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect to the
maintenance of such legal suit, action or proceeding.  To the extent
permitted by law, the Company and each of the Guarantors hereby waive any
objections to the enforcement by any competent court in Bermuda, The Netherlands
and The Netherlands Antilles of any judgment validly obtained in any such court
in New York on the basis of any such legal suit, action or
proceeding.  The Company and each of the Guarantors have appointed CT
Corporation System (the “Authorized Agent”) as
their authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any such legal suit,
action or proceeding.  Such appointment shall be
irrevocable.  The Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for
service of process and the Company and each of the Guarantors agree to take any
and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments
that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as
aforesaid.  The Company and each of the Guarantors further agree that
service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of said service
to the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed in every respect effective
service of process upon the Company and the Guarantors in any such legal suit,
action or proceeding.  Nothing herein shall affect the right of any
Initial Purchaser or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.  The provisions of this
Section 14(d) are intended to be effective upon the execution of this Agreement
without any further action by the Company or any of the Guarantors and the
introduction of a true copy of this Agreement into evidence shall be conclusive
and final evidence as to such matters.

    (e) Waiver of
Immunity.  To the extent the Company or any of the Guarantors
or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may
hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of immunity,
on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or
proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or
proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the competent jurisdiction of any
court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from
attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or
other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the
enforcement of any judgment, in any competent jurisdiction in which proceedings
may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or
any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement,
any of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby, the Company and each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waive, and agree not to plead or claim, any such immunity and
consent to such relief and enforcement.

     

    (f) Currency.  Any
payment on account of an amount that is payable to the Initial Purchasers in a
particular currency (the “Required Currency”)
that is paid to or for the account of the Initial Purchasers in lawful currency
of any other jurisdiction (the “Other Currency”),
whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the
liquidation of the Company or any Guarantor or for any other reason shall
constitute a discharge of the obligation of such obligor only to the extent of
the amount of the Required Currency which the recipient could purchase in the
New York or London foreign exchange markets with the amount of the Other
Currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the first day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks in
New York or London are generally open for business following receipt of the
payment first referred to above.  If the amount of the Required
Currency that could be so purchased (net of all premiums and costs of exchange
payable in connection with the conversion) is less than the amount of the
Required Currency originally due to the recipient, then the Company and each of
the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the
recipient from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of
such deficiency.  This indemnity shall constitute an obligation
separate and independent from the other obligations of the Company and each of
the Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action,
shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any person owed such
obligation 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 any judgment or order.

     

    (g) Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be signed in counterparts (which may include counterparts
delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall be an
original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

     

    (h) Amendments or
Waivers.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, nor any consent or approval to any departure therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties
hereto.

    (i) Waiver relating to Clear
Market. Each Initial Purchaser that is a party to the purchase agreement
dated September 10, 2009 with the Company and the Guarantors hereby confirms
that Section 4(g) (subtitled “Clear Market”) of such purchase agreement shall
not apply to the issuance of the Notes hereunder.

     

    (j) Headings.  The
