 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 Constar International Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), proposes to
sell to the several initial purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom you (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, $220,000,000 principal amount of its Senior Secured
Floating Rate Notes due 2012 (3 month LIBOR (as defined in the Indenture) plus 3.375%) (the “Notes”). The Notes are to be fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis (each such existing guarantee, a
“Subsidiary Guarantee,” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) initially by all the United States and United Kingdom restricted subsidiaries of
the Company that are signatories to this Agreement (each such existing guarantor, a “Subsidiary Guarantor,” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Securities are to be issued under an indenture (the
“Indenture”) to be dated as of February 11, 2005, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Purchase
Agreement dated February 3, 2005 among the parties hereto for the purpose of increasing the principal amount of Notes purchased hereunder from $210,000,000 to $220,000,000. 
  
 To the extent there are no additional Initial Purchasers listed on Schedule I hereto other than you, the term
Representatives as used herein shall mean you, as Initial Purchasers, and the terms Representatives and Initial Purchasers shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. The use of the neuter in this Agreement shall include the
feminine and masculine wherever appropriate. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 17 hereof. 
  
 Holders of the Securities will also have the benefit of a registration rights agreement to be dated as of February 11, 2005 (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will agree to register the Securities under the Act subject to the terms and conditions
therein specified. 
  

 The Securities will be secured by liens on certain real property of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors as described in the Final Memorandum (each, a “Mortgaged Property” and together, the “Mortgaged Properties”) and certain other assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors as described in the Final
Memorandum (the “Pledged Collateral”), and documented by the mortgages, deeds of trust or deeds to secure debt (the “Mortgages”) evidencing the liens on the Mortgaged Properties and by such other documents
evidencing and/or relating to the liens on the Pledged Collateral (together with the Mortgages, the “Security Documents”), in each case, to the extent and in the manner described in the Final Memorandum, as contemplated by this
Agreement and the Indenture. 
  
 This Agreement, the Securities,
the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Security Documents and the agreements and instruments to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a signatory relating to the issuance of the Securities contemplated hereby, collectively
are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” 
  
 The sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers will be made without registration of the Securities under the Act in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act. 
  
 In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has prepared a
preliminary offering memorandum, dated February 2, 2005 (as amended or supplemented at the date thereof, including any and all exhibits thereto, the “Preliminary Memorandum”), and a final offering memorandum dated February 3, 2005
(as amended or supplemented at the Execution Time, including any and all exhibits thereto and any information incorporated by reference therein, the “Final Memorandum”). Each of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum
sets forth certain information concerning the Company and the Securities. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, and any amendment or supplement thereto, in connection with
the offer and sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers. Unless stated to the contrary, any references herein to the terms “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Preliminary Memorandum or the
Final Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any information filed under the Exchange Act which is incorporated by reference therein. 
  
 1. Representations and Warranties. The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree
with, each Initial Purchaser as set forth below in this Section 1. 
  
 (a) The Preliminary Memorandum, at the date thereof, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. At the Execution Time and on the Closing Date (as defined below), the Final Memorandum did not, and will not (and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the date thereof and at the Closing
Date, will not), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors make no representation or warranty as to the information contained in or omitted from the Preliminary Memorandum or

 (b) Neither the Company or its Affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of them (other than the Initial Purchasers as to which
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors make no representation or warranty), has, directly or indirectly, made offers or sales of any security, or solicited offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of the
Securities under the Act. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers in Section 4 of this Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities to the Initial
Purchasers or the initial resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers, in each case, in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, to register any of the Securities under the Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

  
 (c) Neither the Company or its Affiliates, or
any person acting on behalf of any of them (other than the Initial Purchasers as to which the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors make no representation or warranty), has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within
the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Securities in the United States. 
  
 (d) The Securities satisfy the eligibility requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Act. 
  
 (e) The Company has not paid or agreed to pay to any person
any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any securities of the Company (except as contemplated in this Agreement). 
  
 (f) Neither the Company or its Affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of them (other than the Initial Purchasers as to which
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors makes no representation or warranty), has engaged in any “directed selling efforts” with respect to the Securities, and the Company and its Affiliates have complied with the “offering
restrictions” requirement of Regulation S. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by Regulation S. 
  
 (g) No securities of the Company are of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Act) as any of the Securities and listed
on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system. 
  
 (h) None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the use of the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities), will violate or result in a violation of Section 7 of the Exchange Act, or any regulation promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

perfected security interests or other security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in the Final Memorandum.

permits or other authorizations would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or
permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

them under applicable Environmental Laws which are necessary to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous

aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Final Memorandum, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended. 
  
 (qq) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in the course of which it seeks to identify and
evaluate associated material costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any material capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval,
any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, singly or in the aggregate, have
a Material Adverse Effect.

“FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or
other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything

of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for
foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and the Company, its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, its Affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and
procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

service marks, trade and service mark registrations, trade names, copyrights, inventions, trade secrets, technology, know-how and other intellectual property (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of
their respective businesses as now conducted or as proposed in the Final Memorandum to be conducted, except where the failure to own, possess, license or have other such rights would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the
Final Memorandum, (i) there are no rights of third parties to any such Intellectual Property, except for commercial shrink-wrap software; (ii) there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by
any third party challenging the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ rights in or to any such Intellectual Property that would have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any
such claim; (iii) there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by any third party challenging the validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property that would have a Material Adverse Effect,
and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (iv) there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by any third party that the Company or any
Subsidiary infringes or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others that would have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company is unaware of any other fact which would form a reasonable
basis for any such claim; (v) to the knowledge of the Company, there is no valid and subsisting U.S. patent or published U.S. patent application that would preclude the Company from practicing any material Intellectual Property that is owned by or
licensed to the Company or any Subsidiary; and (vi) to the knowledge of the Company, all material patents owned by the Company or the Subsidiaries are valid and enforceable.

 4. Offering by Initial Purchasers. Each Initial Purchaser, severally
and not jointly, represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company that: 
  
 (a) It has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, any Securities except (i) to those it reasonably believes to be qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Act) and that, in
connection with each such sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser of such Securities is aware that such sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (ii) in accordance with the restrictions set forth in
Exhibit B hereto.

supplements thereto as they may reasonably request and the Final Memorandum as so delivered shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Citigroup. 
  
 (b) The Company will not amend or supplement the Final Memorandum, other than by filing documents under the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference therein, without the prior written consent of Citigroup; provided, however, that prior to the completion of the distribution of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as determined by
Citigroup), the Company will not file any document under the Exchange Act 

  

 -13- 

 
that is incorporated by reference in the Final Memorandum unless, prior to such proposed filing, the Company has furnished the Initial Purchasers with a copy
of such document for their review and Citigroup has not reasonably objected to the filing of such document. The Company will promptly advise the Initial Purchasers when any document filed under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in
the Final Memorandum shall have been filed with the Commission. 
  
 (c) If at any time prior to the completion of the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as determined by Citigroup), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Memorandum, as then amended or
supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it should be
necessary to amend or supplement the Final Memorandum to comply with applicable law, the Company promptly (i) will notify the Initial Purchasers of any such event; (ii) subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section 5, will prepare an
amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (iii) will supply any supplemented or amended Final Memorandum to the several Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers without

 (d) To the extent the Company may do so under applicable law, the Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale by the Initial Purchasers under the laws of such jurisdictions as
the Initial Purchasers may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the sale of the Securities; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified, to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction with respect to which such a consent has not been previously executed or to subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein
it would not otherwise be subject to tax but for the requirements of this paragraph. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. 
  
 (e) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, resell any Securities that have been acquired by any of them.

  
 (f) None of the Company or its Affiliates, or
any person acting on behalf of any of them, will, directly or indirectly, make offers or sales of any security, or solicit offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of the Securities under the Act.

meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Act, the Company will, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or it is not exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to and in
compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, provide to each holder of such restricted securities and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of such restricted securities, upon the request of such holder or
prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers designated by such holders, from time to time, of such
restricted securities. 
  
 (i) None of the
Company or its Affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of them, will engage in any “directed selling efforts” with respect to the Securities, and each of them will comply with the “offering restrictions” requirement of
Regulation S. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by Regulation S. 
  
 (j) The Company will cooperate with the Representatives and use its best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and
settlement through The Depository Trust Company. 
  
 (k) The Company will apply the proceeds from the offering and sale of the Securities as provided under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Final Memorandum.

Company or warrants to purchase debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company (other than the Securities) or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 90 days after the date of this Agreement. 

 
 (m) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly,
any action that constitutes or that is designed to or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale
of the Securities. 
  
 (n) The Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally agree to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation of the Indenture, the Security Documents (or any amendments of existing Security Documents) and the Registration
Rights Agreement, the issuance of the Securities and the fees of the Trustee; (ii) the preparation, printing or reproduction of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum and each amendment or supplement to either of them; (iii) the

and sale of the Securities; (iv) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (v) the

shall cause the Securities to be secured by perfected first priority liens on certain of the properties and assets of the Company to the extent and in the manner provided for in the Indenture and the Security Documents and as described in the Final
Memorandum, provided, however, to the extent that consents are required from third parties in order to grant or perfect a Lien on any leasehold Mortgaged Property as contemplated by the Final Memorandum and such consents are not
obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts for the 90 days after the Closing Date to obtain any such consent and if so obtained, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
shall promptly as practicable provide to the Trustee and the Initial Purchasers all of the other documents, instruments, policies, opinions and items, etc. set forth in clauses (i) through (xiii) of Section 6(m) and a legal opinion respecting such

reasonable efforts on the part of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, then neither the Company nor the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, will be required to grant or perfect a Lien on such leasehold Mortgaged
Property (nor will they be required to take any of the actions set forth in Section 5(i) or clauses (i) through (xiii) of Section 6(m)). This Section 5(o) shall survive the Closing Date.

 (c) The Company shall have requested and caused David

subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case
referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of Citigroup, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Final Memorandum
(exclusive of any amendment thereof). 
  
 (i)
Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)

Guarantors to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally through Citigroup on demand for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. 
  
 8. Indemnification and Contribution. 
  
 (a) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, Final Memorandum or in any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agree to reimburse each such indemnified
party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein; provided, further, that with respect to any
untrue statement or omission of material fact made in any Preliminary Memorandum, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Initial Purchaser from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim,
damage or liability purchased the securities concerned, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Initial Purchaser occurs under the circumstance where it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment that (w) the Company had previously furnished copies of the Final Memorandum to the Representatives, (x) delivery of the Final Memorandum was required by the Act to be made to such person, (y) the untrue statement or
omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum was corrected in the Final Memorandum and (z) there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such 

  

 -22- 

 
person, a copy of the Final Memorandum. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may
otherwise have. 
  
 (b) Each Initial Purchaser severally and not
jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the indemnity to each
Initial Purchaser set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section (a), but only with reference to written information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives
specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth
in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Plan of Distribution,” (i) the list of Initial Purchasers and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities and (ii) the
paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids, constitute the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the several Initial Purchasers through the Representatives specifically for
inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum or Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from
liability under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in
any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and
expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying
party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees,
costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets
of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution
of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified 

  

 -23- 

 
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect
of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 8 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or
action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party for any reason, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser (except as may be provided in any agreement among Initial Purchasers
relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately
preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors , on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such
relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal
to the total purchase discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Initial Purchaser shall have
the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each 

  

 -24- 

 
officer of the Company and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable
terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 
  
 9. Default by
an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the
performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names
in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to
purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal
amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not
purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be
postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as Citigroup shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement and
no action taken under this paragraph shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 
  
 10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the
absolute discretion of Citigroup, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Company’s common stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or
trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, (ii) a banking moratorium
shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the
effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of Citigroup, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any supplement
thereto). 
  
 11. Representations and Indemnities to
Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers, of the Subsidiary Guarantors or their officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8(a)
hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 14 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and (y) outside the United States except in accordance with Regulation S under the Act. Each Initial Purchaser represents and agrees
that, except as otherwise permitted by Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement to which this is an exhibit, it has offered and sold the Securities, and will offer and sell the Securities, (i) as part of their distribution at any time; and (ii) otherwise
until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “distribution compliance period”), only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Act. Accordingly, each Initial Purchaser
represents and agrees that neither it, nor any of its Affiliates nor any person acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities, and that it and they have complied and will
comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Each Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to the confirmation of sale of Securities (other than a sale of Securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement to which this
is an exhibit), it shall have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the distribution compliance period a confirmation or notice to substantially
the following effect: 
  
 “The Securities covered hereby
have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time
or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the date of closing of the offering, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144A under the Act. Terms used above have the meanings given
to them by Regulation S.” 
  
 (b) Each Initial Purchaser also
represents and agrees that it has not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with any distributor with respect to the distribution of the Securities, except with its Affiliates or with the prior written consent of the Company.

agrees that (i) it has not offered or sold, and, prior to the expiry of six months from the closing of the offering of the Securities will not offer or sell, any Securities to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities
involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments, whether as principal or agent, for purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the
United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995 (as amended) or the Financial 

  

 B-1 

 
Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”), (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA and the Public
Offers of Securities Regulations 1995 with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom and (iii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or
cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Securities in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does
not apply to the Company.

Roxio to Sonic Solutions pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (v) make such other changes to the Loan Agreement all as more fully set forth herein,

 (c) Borrower will deliver to Bank a Compliance Certificate
signed by a Responsible Officer in the form of Exhibit C; which Compliance Certificate shall be due to Bank (a) within thirty (30) days after the last day of each month if all Borrowers’ aggregate unrestricted cash is $40,000,000 or
less, or (b) within thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar quarter if all Borrowers’ unrestricted cash exceeds $40,000,000.

Worth of at least $45,000,000. 
  
 (b) Liquidity Coverage.

 3. WAIVER REGARDING FILING OF TAX RETURN. Borrower has notified Bank that Borrower will not be able to timely file its Federal tax return due December 31, 2004
(the “Applicable Tax Return”) and has requested that Bank waive the requirement. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in the Loan Documents, Bank hereby waives the requirement that Borrower timely files the Applicable Tax Return;
provided, however that Borrower hereby agrees to file the Applicable Tax Return on or before January 31, 2005. Bank’s agreement to waive the requirement of the timely filing of the Applicable Tax Return pursuant to this Agreement shall in no
way obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Loan Agreement or to waive Borrower’s compliance with any other terms of the Loan Documents, and shall not limit or impair Bank’s right to demand strict performance of all other
terms and covenants as of any date. 
  
 4. CONSENT TO SALE OF ASSETS.

to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness. The Borrower acknowledges and warrants that Bank has acted in good faith and has conducted in a commercially reasonable manner its relationships with Borrower in connection with this Agreement and in
connection with the Loan Documents, including the Loan Agreement and the Indebtedness, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims to the contrary.

relied, in executing the release set forth in this section, upon any representations, warranties, or conditions by Bank or any other entity except as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

 10. CONTINUING VALIDITY.
Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan
Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this
Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all
makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Agreement,
but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

any employee or agent of Bank, except for the agreements of Bank set forth herein. No modification, rescission, waiver, release, or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be made, except by a written agreement signed by Bank and
Borrower.
