     (b) On the Value Date for a proposed Transaction and subject, in the case of the initial Transaction only, to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Article IV, TCO will confirm that it has purchased the Metals requested by Luxco in the relevant Purchase Request by executing and delivering to Luxco a purchase request confirmation in substantially the form of Exhibit B (the “Purchase Confirmation”; a signed Purchase Request and a signed Purchase Confirmation being referred to collectively as a “Transaction Confirmation”). In each Purchase Confirmation, TCO shall (i) confirm (A) the terms on which the Metals specified in the related Purchase Request were purchased and (B) the willingness of TCO to sell such Metals to Luxco, (ii) quote the price of the Metals paid by TCO, the quantity of such Metals and the total Purchase

     (c) Luxco acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of TCO to arrange for the purchase of, and to purchase, Metals in accordance with a Transaction Confirmation, is subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent set forth herein.

     (d) After it receives a Purchase Confirmation in accordance with Section 2.2(b), and after TCO purchases the Metals specified in such Purchase Confirmation, Luxco covenants and agrees that it shall submit to TCO an offer, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Purchase Offer”), in which Luxco offers to purchase such Metals from TCO on the terms specified in the Transaction Confirmation of which such Purchase Confirmation forms a part.

     (e) On the Business Day on which TCO completes its purchase of Metals from the Supplier in accordance with this Section 2.2 and receives the Purchase Offer, TCO covenants and agrees that it shall issue to Luxco an acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “Purchase Acceptance”) in which TCO accepts Luxco’s offer to purchase the Metals as set forth in the Purchase Offer, subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent set forth herein. The Murabaha Price to be paid by Luxco for such Metals and the Value Date and Transaction Payment Date specified in the Transaction Confirmation and Purchase Offer shall be confirmed by TCO in such Purchase Acceptance, and Luxco hereby agrees to pay such Murabaha Price to TCO on such Transaction Payment Date.

     Section 2.3. Assignment of Warranties. TCO hereby assigns to Luxco (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any and all warranties and indemnities of, and claims against, (i) the Supplier that TCO may have in relation to any Metals purchased by TCO from the Supplier and resold to Luxco hereunder, and (ii) any dealers, manufacturers, vendors, contractors or subcontractors in relation to such Metals. If TCO is legally or contractually prohibited from assigning any such warranty, indemnity or claim, TCO hereby grants to Luxco, to the extent permitted by applicable law, its entire beneficial interest in such warranty, indemnity or claim. In consideration of the foregoing assignment of warranties, indemnities and claims, Luxco hereby waives any claims it may have against TCO in relation to the quality, quantity or other condition of any Metals, and acknowledges and agrees that TCO shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty relating to the Metals, whether arising by implication, by common law or statute or otherwise.

ARTICLE III

     Section 3.1. Payments. On the Transaction Payment Date applicable to a Transaction, Luxco shall pay to TCO the outstanding Murabaha Price (in immediately available funds) applicable to the Metals that are the subject of such Transaction. Luxco shall make such payments to TCO before 12:00 Noon (New York time). Luxco shall make all payments owing to TCO hereunder in English pounds sterling and in immediately available funds, by depositing or otherwise wire transferring such payment into such account or accounts as may be designated from time to time by TCO for such payments (each such account, a “Payment Account”) and by

the applicable required time of payment. If any amount required to be paid to TCO hereunder is not paid when due, Luxco shall pay a late fee on such amount at the Default Rate, payable on demand, from the due date for such amount to the date it is paid in full.

     Section 3.2. Termination of the Facility. The Facility shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date, unless terminated sooner in accordance with Article VII. In addition, as set forth in Section 3.6 hereof, Luxco shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to TCO to reduce the Facility Amount in such minimum amounts as TCO may from time to time determine or to terminate the Facility; provided however, that the Facility Amount shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the Aggregate Purchase Price, after giving effect to any payments made concurrently with such reduction of the Facility Amount. The termination of the Facility shall not constitute a termination of this Agreement, and such termination or reduction shall not relieve Luxco of its obligation to pay all amounts due and payable hereunder as and when due in accordance with the terms hereof.

     Section 3.3. Taxes.

     (a) Any and all payments by Luxco to or for the account of TCO hereunder or under any other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on TCO’s net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which TCO is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Luxco shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document to TCO, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3) TCO receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Luxco shall make such deductions and withholdings, (iii) Luxco shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) Luxco shall furnish to TCO the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

     (b) In addition, Luxco agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

     (c) Luxco shall indemnify TCO, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid or incurred by TCO, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Luxco hereunder or under any other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document (including Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and expenses

arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Luxco by TCO or the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section, and in any event within 30 days of any such payment being due, Luxco shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

     Section 3.4. Adjustments to the Applicable Margin. If, after the date hereof, the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or the occurrence of any other event or circumstance (A) shall impose on TCO any requirements or conditions relating to capital adequacy as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder, (B) shall subject TCO to, impose on TCO, or otherwise cause TCO to suffer any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Transaction or the amounts owed to it hereunder, (C) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement relating to any of the Transactions, (D) shall impose on TCO or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Transaction, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost or expense to, or otherwise impose on or cause TCO to suffer any additional cost or expense in connection with or otherwise relating to entering into or maintaining any Transaction, (E) shall reduce any sum received or receivable by TCO under this Agreement or reduce the rate of return on TCO’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder or (F) shall increase the cost or expense to, or impose an additional cost or expense on, TCO or otherwise cause TCO to suffer any additional cost or expense as a result of TCO performing its obligations under this Agreement or any other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document, TCO shall have the right to include a Supplemental Profit amount as part of the Murabaha Price of one or more subsequent Transactions (so as to compensate TCO for the amount of such increased cost or reduction or additional cost or expense or additional cost or expense). Each determination by TCO under this section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

     Section 3.5. Evidence of Obligations. AIFL shall maintain a record of all material details of each Transaction. TCO shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Luxco in which it shall record all material details of each Transaction. TCO will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of such account and to update promptly such account from time to time. TCO shall render statements regarding such account to Luxco. The entries made in such account, and the statements rendered to Luxco with respect thereto, shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of Luxco therein recorded (and all such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate). Failure of AIFL or any other person to keep a record of any Transaction shall not affect the obligations of Luxco hereunder.

     Section 3.6. Prepayments.

     (a) Luxco covenants and agrees that at no time will the Aggregate Purchase Price exceed the Facility Amount “such excess being an “Overage”). If at any time an Overage exists, such event shall not constitute an Event of Default only if Luxco shall immediately prepay the Aggregate Purchase Price so that, upon the receipt and application of such prepayment, such overage is eliminated.

     (b) Luxco may, at any time on 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to TCO, prepay all or any portion of the Murabaha Price for a Transaction prior to the then-scheduled Transaction Payment Date therefor (and without reduction in such Murabaha Price as a result of such prepayment) in such minimum amounts as TCO may from time to time determine.

     (c) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt by Tensar Holdings, Luxco or any of the Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds arising from completion of any Asset Sale or the occurrence of any Recovery Event, and to the extent that less than 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale or Recovery Event have been applied towards the payment of the Acquisition Cost of the Leased Assets under the Lease Agreement pursuant to an exercise of the Asset Sales Option under the Put Option Letter, Luxco shall remit any such excess Net Cash Proceeds to TCO to repay the Aggregate Murabaha Price at such time.

     (d) In the event and on each occasion that an Equity Issuance occurs, and to the extent that less than 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Equity Issuance have been applied towards the payment of the Acquisition Cost of the Leased Assets under the Lease Agreement pursuant to an exercise of the Equity Issuance Option under the Put Option Letter, Luxco shall remit such excess Net Cash Proceeds to TCO to repay the Aggregate Murabaha Price at such time.

     (e) In the event that any Tensar Party receives Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or other incurrence of Financing Obligations of any Tensar Party (other than Financing Obligations permitted to be incurred under Section 1.01 of Schedule 4 hereto), and to the extent that less than 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of such Financing Obligations have been applied towards the payment of the Acquisition Cost of the Leased Assets under the Lease Agreement pursuant to an exercise of the Financing Obligation Option under the Put Option Letter, Luxco shall remit such excess Net Cash Proceeds to TCO to repay the Aggregate Murabaha Price at such time.

     (f) Not later than the earlier of (1) 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of Tensar Holdings, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2006, and (2) the date which is five Business Days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Schedule 3 hereto, and to the extent that an amount less than (A) the ECF Percentage times (B) the Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended has been applied towards the payment of the Acquisition Cost of the Leased Assets under the Lease Agreement pursuant to an exercise of the ECF Option under the Put Option Letter, Tensar Holdings shall remit such excess amount to TCO to repay the Aggregate Murabaha Price at such time.

     (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for TCO to enter into Transactions then TCO shall promptly notify Luxco thereof and, effective upon such notice, TCO’s obligation to enter into Transactions hereunder shall be suspended and the Murabaha Price shall become immediately due and payable. Upon the termination of such situation, if at all, prior to the Termination Date, the obligation of TCO to enter into Transactions hereunder shall be reinstated.

     Section 3.7. [intentionally omitted]

     Section 3.8. Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by TCO shall not be considered a payment in respect of a Murabaha Price or other obligations hereunder unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the applicable Payment Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Luxco shall be deemed not to have made such payment. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by TCO only if it is received into the applicable Payment Account on a Business Day on or before 12:00 noon (New York time). If any payment item is received into the applicable Payment Account on a non-Business Day or after 12:00 noon (New York time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by TCO as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or on the date five Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section.

     Section 8.2. Right of Set-Off; Adjustments. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, TCO is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits at any time held and other indebtedness or obligations at any time owed to Luxco by TCO against any and all of the obligations of Luxco now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document or otherwise, irrespective of whether TCO shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be unmatured. TCO agrees promptly to notify Luxco after any such set-off and application made by TCO; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of TCO under this Section 8.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that TCO may have.

     Section 8.3. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto; provided, that Luxco may not assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of TCO and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. TCO shall have the right, without the consent of Tensar Holdings or Luxco to collaterally assign and grant a security interest in its rights hereunder and under any other documents related hereto (including under the UK Composite Debenture and the other Security Documents) in favor of any person. Any such assignee (and its successors, assigns and agents) shall have the right to foreclose upon any such collateral assignment or security interest, and exercise all rights and remedies under the applicable documentation relating thereto, without any requirement for consent from Tensar Holdings or Luxco, and Tensar Holdings and Luxco agree to fully cooperate with any such exercise of rights or remedies by any such assignee (and its successors, assigns and agents).

     Section 8.4. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of TCO in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document and no course of dealing between TCO and Tensar Holdings or Luxco shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that TCO would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on Tensar Holdings or Luxco in any case shall entitle Luxco to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of TCO to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

     Section 8.5. Expenses; Indemnification.

     (a) The provisions of Schedule 6 are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

     (b) Save where AIFL acts in bad faith or with willful or reckless indifference to the interests of Luxco, Luxco hereby agrees to indemnify AIFL against all losses, claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs and expenses incurred or sustained by AIFL (or any Sub-Agent of AIFL) as a result of the performance of its obligations hereunder or otherwise relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, losses, costs or expenses incurred by AIFL (or any Sub-Agent of AIFL) as a result of Luxco’s failure to comply with Luxco’s obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, if AIFL (or any Sub-Agent of AIFL) is required to make any payment on account of any tax or otherwise on or in relation to any sum received or receivable by it as a result of the performance of its obligations hereunder or any liability in respect of any such payment is assumed, imposed, levied or assessed against AIFL (or any Sub-Agent of AIFL), Luxco shall, upon the demand of AIFL, promptly indemnify AIFL against such payment or liability, together with any other amounts, penalties, and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith.

     (c) Save where AIA acts in bad faith or with willful or reckless indifference to the interests of Luxco, Luxco hereby agrees to indemnify AIA against all losses, claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs and expenses incurred or sustained by AIA (or any Sub-Agent of AIA) as a result of the performance of its obligations hereunder or otherwise relating to this Agreement, including without limitation losses, costs or expenses incurred by AIA (or any Sub-Agent of AIA) as a result of Luxco’s failure to comply with Luxco’s obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, if AIA (or any Sub-Agent of AIA) is required to make any payment on account of any tax or otherwise on or in relation to any sum received or receivable by it as a result of the performance of its obligations hereunder or any liability in respect of any such payment is assumed, imposed, levied or assessed against AIA (or any Sub-Agent of AIA), Luxco shall, upon the demand of AIA, promptly indemnify AIA against such payment or liability, together with any other amounts, penalties, and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith.

     Section 8.6. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Neither this Agreement, any Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Document or any other document entered into in connection herewith or therewith or evidencing Obligations, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing entered into by, or approved in writing by, TCO, the Administrative Agent and Luxco. No express or implied waiver by TCO or the Administrative Agent of any Default or Event of Default, shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Default or Event of Default.

     Section 8.7. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

     Section 8.8. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the

illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

     Section 8.9. Entirety. This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, relating to transactions contemplated herein.

     Section 8.10. Tax Consequences. Luxco and TCO expressly agree that, for all income tax purposes: (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, together with the transactions contemplated by the Letters of Undertaking, are intended to accomplish a single transaction that is characterized as a mere financing by TCO to Luxco; (ii) the Purchase Price constitutes the principal amount of such financing; and (iii) the amounts described in the definition of “Agreed Profit” and “Supplemental Profit” constitute interest or fees accrued on such financing. Luxco and TCO (and any assignee of TCO’s interest in this Agreement and any person to which a participation is granted) shall report the tax consequences of the transactions described in clause (i) of this Section 8.10 on their respective tax returns (to the extent same are required to be filed) consistently and in accordance with the intended tax treatment described in this Section 8.10.

     Section 8.11. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LUXCO COMMODITIES PURCHASE FACILITY DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SUCH OTHER LUXCO COMMODITIES PURCHASE FACILITY DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Section 8.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LUXCO COMMODITIES PURCHASE FACILITY DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LUXCO COMMODITIES PURCHASE FACILITY DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12.

     Section 8.13. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such

action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or TCO may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Documents against any Tensar Party, AIA or AIFL or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     (b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Luxco Commodities Purchase Facility Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

     (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

     Section 8.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile by any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be as effective as an original executed counterpart hereof and shall be deemed a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered.

     Section 8.15. Conflicts. To the extent that there shall exist a conflict between the terms or provisions of this Agreement, on the one hand, and the terms of any exhibit hereto that is executed and delivered in connection with a Transaction, the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall in all events and for all purposes be controlling.
