May 13, 2011

To Each of the Purchasers Listed in
Schedule A Hereto:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Each of BA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or any successor that becomes such in the manner prescribed in Section 9.7), Luxfer Holdings PLC (Registered No. 3690830), a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Parent Guarantor”), and each of the parties listed in Schedule C (each an “Original Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively the “Original Subsidiary Guarantors”), agrees with each of the purchasers whose names appear at the end hereof (each a “Purchaser” and collectively the “Purchasers”) as follows:

1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES; GUARANTEES.

(a) The Issuer will authorize the issue and sale of US$65,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2018 (the “Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 15). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1(a). Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement.

(b) The payment by the Issuer of all amounts due with respect to the Notes shall be absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by (i) each of the Original Subsidiary Guarantors that is a U.S. Guarantor pursuant to the Unconditional Guarantee contained in Section 13, (ii) the Parent Guarantor, which owns all of the outstanding equity interests of the Issuer, and each of the Original Subsidiary Guarantors that is an English Guarantor pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 1(b)(i) (each an “English Guarantee Agreement”), and (iii) each Subsidiary (each an “Additional Subsidiary Guarantor”) which, after the date of this Agreement, becomes a party hereto pursuant to a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 1(b)(ii) (each a “Joinder Agreement”) and guarantees the Notes pursuant to such Joinder Agreement, an English Guarantee Agreement or a guarantee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders, but shall exclude at such time any Subsidiary

theretofore released from its obligations as a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.31.

2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuer will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Issuer, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

3. CLOSING.

The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (London) LLP, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 A.M., local time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on June 15, 2011 or on such other Business Day thereafter on or prior to June 30, 2011 as may be agreed upon by the Obligors and the Purchasers. At the Closing the Issuer will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least US$100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Issuer or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Issuer to the account identified by the Issuer in the Funding Instructions (unless agreed by the Purchasers at least 5 Business Days prior to Closing, such account must be a bank account in a bank located in the United States and it being understood by the parties hereto that irrespective of the time of Closing no such wire can be initiated by a Purchaser until the opening of business in the United States for both such Purchaser and its bank). If at the Closing the Issuer shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

4. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to or at the Closing, of the following conditions:

4.1. Representations and Warranties.

The Major Representations shall be correct at the time of the Closing.

Nothing in this Section 4.2 operates as a waiver of any Event of Default or will affect the rights of the holders of Notes in respect of any outstanding Event of Default upon purchase of the Notes, irrespective of whether that Event of Default occurred prior to the purchase of Notes or not, and the holders of Notes may exercise all or any of their rights and remedies set out in this Agreement in respect of any continuing Event of Default upon purchase of the Notes (including without limitation their rights under Section 11.1).

4.3. Compliance Certificates.

(C) attaching thereto a copy of the Original Financial Statements of each Obligor and certifying that each such document copy is true;

8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

8.1. Maturity.

As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall be due and payable on the stated maturity date thereof.

8.2. Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount.

The Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than US$1,000,000 (and in integrals of US$500,000) in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Issuer will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date. Prior to the date that is three Business Days before the prepayment date specified in a prepayment notice delivered pursuant to this Section 8.2, by written notice to each holder of Notes, the Issuer may revoke such notice of prepayment or postpone the prepayment date specified therein to a later date specified in such written notice; provided, however, the Issuer may revoke a notice of prepayment or postpone the prepayment date specified therein only in the event that the Issuer has notified the holders of Notes that it intends to make such prepayment using the proceeds of the incurrence of Financial Indebtedness under a financing facility that is not currently in effect and such refinancing fails to close or, in the case of a postponement of the prepayment date only, the closing of such refinancing is postponed to a date falling after the prepayment date specified in such notice.

8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments.

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

8.4. Maturity; Surrender, etc.

In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Issuer shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Issuer and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

8.5. Purchase of Notes.

The Obligors will not and will not permit any of their respective Affiliates to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Issuer will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

8.6. Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of the (x) Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by

(a) converting U.S. Treasury ▇▇▇▇ quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1, as the context requires.

8.7. Change of Control Prepayment.

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

holder’s acceptance of the prepayment offer contained therein, then the holder shall be deemed to have rejected such offer.

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

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

8.8. Disposal and Insurance Prepayments.

(a) Notice and Offer. In the event that any member of the Group receives any Disposal Proceeds or any Insurance Proceeds, the Issuer shall give written notice thereof to each holder of Notes. Such written notice shall contain, and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer (a “Disposal Prepayment Offer” or “ Insurance Prepayment Offer”, respectively) to prepay, at the election of each holder, a portion of the Notes held by such holder equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of such Disposal Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds on a date specified in such notice (the “Disposal Prepayment Date” or “Insurance Prepayment Date”, respectively) that is not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such notice. If such prepayment date shall not be specified in such notice, the Disposal Prepayment Date or Insurance Prepayment Date, as applicable, shall be the 45th day after the date of such notice.

(b) Acceptance; Rejection.

(i) Disposal Prepayment Offer. The failure of a holder of a Note to respond to a Disposal Prepayment Offer in writing within 20 days after the date of such written notice thereof from the Issuer shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance of the Disposal Prepayment Offer with respect to such Note. A holder may reject a Disposal Prepayment Offer with respect to any or all of such holder’s Notes by causing a notice of its rejection to be delivered to the Issuer not later than 20 days after the date of such written notice from the Issuer.

(ii) Insurance Prepayment Offer. The failure of a holder of a Note to respond to an Insurance Prepayment Offer in writing within 20 days after the date of such written notice thereof from the Issuer shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Insurance Prepayment Offer with respect to such Note. To accept an Insurance Prepayment Offer, a holder shall cause a notice of its acceptance to be delivered to the Issuer not later than 20 days after the date of such written notice from the Issuer.

(i) Disposal Prepayment Offer. Once accepted by a holder of a Note, a prepayment in respect of a Disposal Prepayment Offer (equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the relevant Disposal Proceeds) shall be due and payable on the Disposal Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid, plus the Make-Whole Amount determined for the Disposal Prepayment Date with respect to such principal amount, together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Disposal Prepayment Date. On the Business Day preceding the Disposal Prepayment Date, the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of Notes being prepaid a statement showing the Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment and setting forth the details of the computation of such amount. The prepayment shall be made on the Disposal Prepayment Date.

(ii) Insurance Prepayment Offer. Once accepted by a holder of a Note, a prepayment in respect of an Insurance Prepayment Offer (equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the relevant Insurance Proceeds) shall be due and payable on the Insurance Prepayment Date.

The prepayment shall be made on the Insurance Prepayment Date.

(d) Other Terms. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Parent Guarantor and dated the date of such offer, specifying (i) the Disposal Prepayment Date or Insurance Prepayment Date, as applicable, (ii) the amount of the relevant Disposal Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, (iii) that such offer is being made pursuant to this Section 8.8, (iv) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (v) with respect to a prepayment pursuant to a Disposal Prepayment Offer, the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such certificate were the Disposal Prepayment Date), setting forth the details of such computation, (vi) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Disposal Prepayment Date or Insurance Prepayment Date, as applicable, and (vii) in reasonable detail, the nature of such Disposal or relevant insurance claim and certifying that no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to the prepayment contemplated by such offer. For the avoidance of doubt, any Disposal giving rise to an Event of Default under any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be permitted, and such Event of Default shall not be deemed to be waived by any holder, by reason of any holder’s acceptance or rejection of a Disposal Prepayment Offer in respect of such Disposal or any payment in connection therewith.

(e) Intercreditor Deed. Any payments under this Section 8.8 shall be made subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Deed.

(iii) the Parent Guarantor shall have delivered to each holder of Notes an Officer’s Certificate of the Parent Guarantor certifying that (x) the conditions specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above have been satisfied and (y) immediately preceding the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee with respect to the Notes and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default will have existed or would exist,

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

(q) Pensions. The Pensions Regulator issues a Financial Support Direction or a Contribution Notice to any member of the Group unless the aggregate liability of the Obligors in each Financial Year under all Financial Support Directions and Contributions Notices is less than the greater of:

(i) £5,000,000 (or its equivalent in any currency); and

(ii) 10% of the Group’s EBITDA (by reference to the latest audited Annual Financial Statements delivered to the holders pursuant to Section 7.1(b)).

(r) Material Adverse Change. Any event or circumstance occurs which has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(s) ERISA. Any ERISA Event or event set forth in (i) through (iii), inclusive, below occurs that has or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect:

(i) any Obligor or ERISA Affiliate incurs or is likely to incur a liability to or on account of a Multiemployer Plan as a result of a violation of section 515 of ERISA or under section 4201, 4204 or 4212(c) of ERISA;

(ii) with respect to each Employee Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, such plan’s funded ratio (defined for this purpose as the actuarial value of the assets of such plan divided by the present value of all benefits accrued or earned with respect to such plan) is less than (A) 76 per cent as of January 1, 2011 and (B) 80 per cent on the first day of any year thereafter. The calculation of such ratio shall be computed using the actuarial value, assumptions and methods used by the actuary to the Employee Plan in its most recent valuation of such plan;

(iii) any Obligor or ERISA Affiliate incurs or is likely to incur a liability to or on account of an Employee Plan under section 409, 502(i) or 502(1) of ERISA or section 401 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code.

11. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

11.1. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Obligor described in Section 10 (f), (g) or (h) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 10(a) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 11.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) with respect to an acceleration under Section 11.1(a) or (b), the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. Each Obligor acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Issuer (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Issuer in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

11.2. Other Remedies.

If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 11.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

11.3. Rescission.

At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Issuer, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Issuer has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue

principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Issuer nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 11.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

11.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc.

No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Issuer under Section 16, the Issuer will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 11, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements and any Registration Duty.

12. TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

All payments whatsoever under the Note Documents will be made by the relevant Obligor in lawful currency of the United States of America free and clear of, and without liability for withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction other than the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in such jurisdiction) (hereinafter a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is compelled by law.

If any deduction or withholding for any Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be paid by an Obligor under a Note Document, the relevant Obligor will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each holder of a Note such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such holder pursuant to the terms of such Note Document after such deduction, withholding or payment (including, without limitation, any required deduction or withholding of Tax on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such holder under the terms of such Note Document before the assessment of such Tax, provided that no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:

(a) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the holder to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon or in connection therewith is attributable for the

purposes of such Tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof, including, without limitation, such holder (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to a Tax that would not have been imposed but for the relevant Obligor, after the date of this Agreement, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of any Note Document are made to, the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing the relevant Tax;

(b) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such holder (following a written request by the relevant Obligor) in the filing with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of Forms (as defined below) that are required to be filed by such holder to avoid or reduce such Taxes (including for such purpose any refilings or renewals of filings that may from time to time be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), provided that the filing of such Forms would not (in such holder’s reasonable judgment) impose any unreasonable burden (in time, resources or otherwise) on such holder or result in any confidential or proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such holder, and provided further that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (b) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms (including refilings or renewals of filings) as may be specified in a written request of the relevant Obligor no later than 60 days after receipt by such holder of such written request (accompanied by copies of such Forms and related instructions, if any, all in the English language or with an English translation thereof); or

and provided further that in no event shall an Obligor be obligated to pay such additional amounts to any holder of a Note (i) not resident in the United States of America or any other jurisdiction in which an original Purchaser is resident for tax purposes on the date of the Closing in excess of the amounts that such Obligor would be obligated to pay if such holder had been a resident of the United States of America or such other jurisdiction, as applicable, for purposes of, and eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty from time to time in effect between the United States of America or such other jurisdiction and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (ii) to any holder of a Note registered in the name of a nominee if under the law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation of such law) securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant Tax and such Obligor shall have given timely notice of such law or interpretation to such holder.

By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees, subject to the limitations of clause (b) above, that it will from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by an Obligor all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such holder by such Obligor (collectively, together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such holder in order to

avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the United States and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide such Obligor with such information with respect to such holder as such Obligor may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms, provided that nothing in this Section 12 shall require any holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such holder such Form or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder, and provided further that each such holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly completed and delivered by such holder to such Obligor or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority (which in the case of a United Kingdom HMRC Form US/Company 2002 or any similar Form shall be deemed to occur when such Form is submitted to the United States Internal Revenue Service in accordance with instructions contained in such Form), whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of such Obligor (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of any such Form not in the English language) and, in the case of a transfer of any Note, at least 90 days prior to the relevant interest payment date.

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

If any payment is made by an Obligor to or for the account of the holder of any Note after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and increased payments are made by such Obligor pursuant to this Section 12, then, if such holder at its sole discretion determines that it has received or been granted a refund of such Taxes, such holder shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, reimburse to such Obligor such amount as such holder shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the holder of any Note to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or

similar tax liability in respect of such Tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in clause (b) above) oblige any holder of any Note to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

Each Obligor will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by such Obligor of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under any Note Document, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of such Obligor, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any holder of a Note.

If any Obligor is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of which such Obligor would be required to pay any additional amount under this Section 12, but for any reason does not make such deduction or withholding with the result that a liability in respect of such Tax is assessed directly against the holder of any Note, and such holder pays such liability, then such Obligor will promptly reimburse such holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by such Obligor) upon demand by such holder accompanied by an official receipt (or a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

If any Obligor makes payment to or for the account of any holder of a Note and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other than a Form described above), then such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from such Obligor (which shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by such Obligor, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above.

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

13. GUARANTEE AND OTHER RIGHTS AND UNDERTAKINGS.

13.1. Guarantee.

Each U.S. Guarantor, in consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the purchase of the Notes by the Purchasers and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees to each holder, the due and punctual payment in full by the Issuer of (a) the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, whether

or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any other amounts due under, the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise) and (b) any other sums which may become owing by the Issuer to the holders under the terms and provisions of the Notes, this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein (all such obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guarantee in the preceding sentence (the “Unconditional Guarantee”) is an absolute, present and continuing guarantee of payment and not of collectibility and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from any other Obligor or guarantor of the Notes (including, without limitation, any other U.S. Guarantor hereunder and any other Guarantor that executes an English Guarantee Agreement) or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Issuer shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, each U.S. Guarantor agrees to pay the same when due to the holders entitled thereto, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, in lawful money of the United States of America, pursuant to the requirements for payment specified in the Notes and this Agreement. Each default in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. Each U.S. Guarantor agrees that the Notes may (but need not) make reference to the Unconditional Guarantee.

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

Each U.S. Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that such U.S. Guarantor’s liability hereunder is joint and several with the other Guarantors and any other Person(s) who may guarantee the obligations and indebtedness under and in respect of the Notes and the other Note Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchasers (on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns) and each U.S. Guarantor hereby agree that if at any time the Guaranteed Obligations exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount determined as of such time with regard to such U.S. Guarantor, then this Section 13 shall be automatically amended to reduce the Guaranteed Obligations to the Maximum Guaranteed Amount. Such amendment shall not require the written consent of any U.S. Guarantor or any holder and shall be deemed to have been automatically consented to by each

U.S. Guarantor and each holder. Each U.S. Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount without affecting or impairing the obligation of such U.S. Guarantor. “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” means as of the date of determination with respect to a U.S. Guarantor, the lesser of (a) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations outstanding on such date and (b) the maximum amount that would not render such U.S. Guarantor’s liability under this Section 13 subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or any comparable provision of applicable law of any jurisdiction.

13.2. Obligations Absolute.

The obligations of each U.S. Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim such U.S. Guarantor may have against the Issuer or any holder or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not such U.S. Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein (it being agreed that the obligations of each U.S. Guarantor under this Section 13 shall apply to the Notes, the other Note Documents and any such other instrument as so amended, modified, supplemented or restated) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance or release of any security for the Notes or the addition, substitution or release of any other Guarantor or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer or its property; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor or of the Issuer into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Guarantor or of the Issuer to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Issuer for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Guarantor; (f) any failure on the part of any holder to obtain, maintain, register or otherwise perfect any security; or (g) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing), and in any event however material or prejudicial it may be to any Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights any Guarantor may otherwise have. Each U.S. Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder.

13.3. Waiver.

Each U.S. Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any default by the Issuer in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 13.2, (b)

all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of any holder against such U.S. Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Issuer or any Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Issuer or to any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Issuer, (c) any right to require any holder to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy including, without limitation, any right, power or remedy conferred in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document, (d) any requirement for diligence on the part of any holder and (e) any other act or omission or thing or delay in doing any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such U.S. Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such U.S. Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of such U.S. Guarantor hereunder.

13.4. Obligations Unimpaired.

Each U.S. Guarantor authorizes the holders, without notice or demand to such U.S. Guarantor or any other Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Note Document or other instrument: (a) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein; (b) to change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining to the Notes, this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest, the Make-Whole Amount or any other obligation; (c) to take and hold security for the payment of the Notes, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, for the performance of this Section 13 or otherwise for the Guaranteed Obligations and to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such security; (d) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the holders in their sole discretion may determine; (e) to obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or release any other Guarantor or any other Person or entity primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person; and (g) to apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations owed hereunder. The holders shall have no obligation to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Issuer, such U.S. Guarantor or any other Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the holders.

If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of any Notes shall exist and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any holder to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other guarantors of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, such U.S. Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Section 13 and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the holder thereof had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such U.S. Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

13.5. Subrogation and Subordination.

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

(b) Each U.S. Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Financial Indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuer, any other Obligor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such U.S. Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in Section 13.5(a), to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the Required Holders so request, any such Financial Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by such U.S. Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any U.S. Guarantor under this Section 13.

(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by any U.S. Guarantor in violation of Section 13.5(a) and (b), such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such U.S. Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the holders and shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such U.S. Guarantor under this Section 13.

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

(e) Each U.S. Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid an amount hereunder to any holder that is greater than the net value of the benefits received, directly or indirectly, by such paying Guarantor as a result of the issuance and sale of the Notes (such net value, its “Proportionate Share”), such paying Guarantor shall, subject to Section 13.5(a) and (b), be entitled to contribution from any Guarantor that has not paid its Proportionate Share of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any amount payable as a contribution under this Section 13.5(e) shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment is made by such Guarantor seeking contribution and each U.S. Guarantor acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset of such U.S. Guarantor to which such contribution is owed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 13.5(e) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the holders of the Notes hereunder or under the Notes, any other Note Document or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith, and each U.S. Guarantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for the full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.6. Reinstatement of Guarantee.

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

13.7. Term of Guarantee.

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

13.8. Information Regarding the Issuer.

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

13.9. Further Assurances.

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

14. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

14.1. Registration of Notes.

The Issuer shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Issuer shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Issuer shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

14.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

Upon surrender of any Note to the Issuer at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19) for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other details for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof) within ten Business Days thereafter the Issuer shall execute and deliver, at the Issuer’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1(a). Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than US$100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than US$100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.2.

14.3. Replacement of Notes.

Upon receipt by the Issuer at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least

US$50,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within ten Business Days thereafter the Issuer at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

15. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

15.1. Place of Payment.

Subject to Section 15.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made at the principal office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in New York, New York. The Issuer may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Issuer in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

15.2. Home Office Payment.

So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Issuer in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Issuer made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Issuer at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Issuer pursuant to Section 15.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Issuer in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14.2. The Issuer will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.

16. EXPENSES, ETC.

16.1. Transaction Expenses.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Issuer will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guarantee), the Notes or the other Note Documents (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guarantee), the Notes or the other Note Documents, or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with any Note Document, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of any member of the Group or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes and (c) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the SVO, provided that such costs and expenses under this clause (c) shall not exceed US$3,500 (or its equivalent in other currencies). The Issuer will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes). In the event that the Notes are not issued on or before June 30, 2011 or, if prior to that date, the Company elects not to issue and sell the Notes, the Issuer agrees to pay to the Purchasers on June 30, 2011 or such earlier date, via wire transfer of immediately available funds, (i) the Cancellation Fee (as defined in the Commitment Letter) in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter and (ii) the Delayed Delivery Fee (as defined in the Commitment Letter).

16.2. Certain Taxes.

The Issuer agrees to pay all stamp, documentary or similar taxes or fees which may be payable in respect of the execution and delivery (but not the transfer) or the enforcement of any of the Notes or the execution and delivery or the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Note Document in the United States or the United Kingdom or of any amendment of, or waiver or consent under or with respect to, any Note Document, and to pay any value added tax due and payable in respect of reimbursement of costs and expenses by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 16 (provided that, where the Issuer has made a payment of such value added tax and the relevant holder reasonably determines that it has received or been granted a credit or repayment in respect of such value added tax from the relevant tax authority, such holder shall reimburse such amount to the Issuer), and will save each holder of a Note to the extent permitted by applicable law harmless against any loss or liability resulting from nonpayment or delay in payment of any such tax or fee required to be paid by the Issuer hereunder.

16.3. Survival.

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

17. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Note Documents, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Obligor under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guarantee), the Notes, the other Note Documents and the Commitment Letter embody the entire agreement and understanding among each Purchaser and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

18. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

18.1. Requirements.

This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Obligor and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 22, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 11 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, (iii) amend Section 8, 10(a), 11, 12, 18, 21 or 23.9, or (iv) release all or substantially all of the Unconditional Guarantee.

18.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Issuer will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Issuer will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the

date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. No Obligor will directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent made pursuant to this Section 18.2 by the holder of any Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer such Note to an Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such transferring holder.

18.3. Binding Effect, etc.

Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon each Obligor without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between any Obligor, on one hand, and the holder of any Note, on the other hand, nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

18.4. Notes Held by Obligors, etc.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Obligor or any Affiliates of any Obligor shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

19. NOTICES; ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

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

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

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

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

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

Notices under this Section 19 will be deemed given only when actually received.

Each document, instrument, financial statement, report, notice or other communication delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be in English or accompanied by an English translation thereof.

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

20. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Obligor agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or

further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 20 shall not prohibit any Obligor or any holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of any member of the Group in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Group member, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by any Group member or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 21, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 21), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Issuer (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 21), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by any Obligor in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Obligors embodying the provisions of this Section 21.

22. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Issuer, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Issuer of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

23. MISCELLANEOUS.

23.1. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

23.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.4 that notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

23.3. Accounting Terms; IAS 39.

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

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

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

(b) if after the date of this Agreement a change in the Accounting Principles (as at the date of this Agreement) or the accounting practices is such as to affect:

(i) the determination of the financial covenants contained in Section 9.1; and/or

(ii) the determination of whether a Subsidiary is a Material Company,

the Obligors and the Required Holders shall, at the Required Holders’ request, negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing such amendments as may be necessary to grant to the holders protection comparable to that granted on the date of this Agreement, and any amendments so agreed will take effect on the date agreed between the Obligors and the holders; and if no such agreement is reached within 30 days of the Required Holders’ request, the Required Holders may instruct independent accountants to determine any amendments to those clauses or definitions which those accountants (acting as experts and not as arbitrators) consider appropriate to grant, to the holders protection comparable to that granted on the date of this Agreement, which amendments shall take effect when so determined and notified to the Issuer. Any amendments determined by such accountants shall be binding on all the parties hereto.

23.4. Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

23.5. Construction, etc.

Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

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

23.6. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed signature page hereto by facsimile or e-mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

23.7. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

23.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each Obligor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) Each Obligor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.8(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(c) Each Non-U.S. Obligor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of a Note in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified or priority mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivering a copy thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 19, to the Issuer, as its agent for the purpose of accepting service of any process in the United States. Each Non-U.S. Obligor agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(d) Nothing in this Section 23.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against any Obligor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

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

(f) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE), THE NOTES, ANY OTHER FINANCE DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

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

Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under the Notes in U.S. Dollars which is made to or for the account of any holder of Notes in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of any Obligor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of such Obligor, as applicable, under this Agreement or the Notes only to the extent of the amount of U.S. Dollars which such holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of U.S. Dollars that could be so purchased is less than the amount of U.S. Dollars originally due to such holder, the Obligors agree to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under the Notes or under any judgment or order. As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

23.10. Tax Forms.

(a) Each Purchaser and each holder that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Issuer executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by

the Issuer as will enable the Issuer to certify to such Purchaser or holder’s exemption from U.S. backup withholding and/or information reporting requirements.

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

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

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

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

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

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

This Guarantee Agreement, dated as of [ , 20 ] (this “Guarantee Agreement”), is made by [ ], a [ ] (the “Guarantor”) in favor of the Purchasers (as defined below) and the other holders from time to time of the Notes (as defined below). The Purchasers and such other holders are herein collectively called the “holders” and individually a “holder.”

Preliminary Statements:

I. BA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), [Luxfer Holdings PLC (Registered No. 3690830), a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales / the Guarantor], [the Guarantor] and each of the [other] parties listed in Schedule C attached thereto [is entering][has entered] into a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 13, 2011 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with the Persons listed in Schedule A attached thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”) [simultaneously with the delivery of this Guarantee Agreement]. Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings specified in the Note Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

II. Pursuant to the Note Agreement, the Issuer [proposes to issue and sell][has issued and sold] US$65,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2018 (collectively, the “Initial Notes”). The Initial Notes and any other Notes that may from time to time be issued pursuant to the Note Agreement (including any notes issued in substitution for any of the Notes) are herein collectively called the “Notes” and individually a “Note”.

III. [It is a condition to the agreement of the Purchasers to purchase the Notes that this Guarantee Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by the Guarantor and shall be in full force and effect.][Pursuant to the Note Agreement, the Obligors are required to cause the Guarantor to deliver this Guarantee Agreement to the holders and to enter into a certain Joinder Agreement, dated the date hereof, pursuant to which the Guarantor shall become a party to the Note Agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”).]

IV. The Guarantor and the Issuer are operated as part of one consolidated business entity and are directly dependent upon each other for and in connection with their respective business activities and their respective financial resources. The Guarantor will receive[, and has received,] direct and indirect economic and financial benefits from the indebtedness incurred under the Note Agreement and the Notes by the Issuer, and the incurrence of such indebtedness is or was in the best interests of the Guarantor. By agreeing to enter into this Guarantee

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-1

Agreement and the Joinder Agreement, the Guarantor will gain substantial financial and other benefits, both direct and indirect.

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

Section 1. GUARANTEE.

The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, guarantees to each holder, the due and punctual payment in full of (a) the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any other amounts due under, the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise) and (b) any other sums which may become owing by the Issuer to the holders under the terms and provisions of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein (all such obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guarantee in the preceding sentence is an absolute, present and continuing guarantee of payment and not of collectibility and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Issuer or any other Obligor or guarantor of the Notes or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Issuer shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor agrees to pay the same when due to the holders entitled thereto, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, in lawful money of the United States of America, pursuant to the requirements for payment specified in the Notes and the Note Agreement. Each default in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. The Guarantor agrees that the Notes issued in connection with the Note Agreement may (but need not) make reference to this Guarantee Agreement.

The Guarantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and save each holder harmless from and against any damage, loss, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) which such holder may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (x) any breach by the Guarantor or by the Issuer of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, this Guarantee Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, together with all expenses resulting from the compromise or defense of any claims or liabilities arising as a result of any such breach or default, (y) any legal action commenced to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Guarantee Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein and (z) enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) the provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, provided, that the Guarantor

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-2

shall not be liable for any damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any holder.

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

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

Anything herein or in the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder and under the Notes and the Note Agreement shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

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

Section 2. OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have against the Issuer or any holder or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not the Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein (it being agreed that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the Notes, the Note Agreement, the other Note Documents and any such other instrument as so amended, modified, supplemented or restated) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance or release of any security for the Notes or the addition, substitution or release of any other Guarantor or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-3

similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer or its property; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Guarantor or of the Issuer into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of the Guarantor or of the Issuer to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Issuer for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with the Guarantor; (f) any failure on the part of any holder to obtain, maintain, register or otherwise perfect any security; or (g) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing), and in any event however material or prejudicial it may be to the Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights the Guarantor may otherwise have. The Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder.

Section 3. WAIVER.

The Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any default by the Issuer in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 2 hereof, (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of any holder against the Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Issuer or the Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Issuer or to the Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Issuer, (c) any right to require any holder to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy including, without limitation, any right, power or remedy conferred in the Note Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document, (d) any requirement for diligence on the part of any holder and (e) any other act or omission or thing or delay in doing any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

Section 4. OBLIGATIONS UNIMPAIRED.

The Guarantor authorizes the holders, without notice or demand to the Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Note Document or other instrument: (a) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein; (b) to change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining to the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest, the Make-Whole Amount or any other obligation; (c) to take and hold security for the payment of the Notes, the Note Agreement, any other Note Document or any other instrument referred to therein, for the performance of this Guarantee Agreement or otherwise for the Guaranteed Obligations and to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-4

security; (d) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the holders in their sole discretion may determine; (e) to obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or release any other Guarantor or any other Person or entity primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer and others, including [the Parent Guarantor and] any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor; and (g) to apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations owed hereunder. The holders shall have no obligation to proceed against [the Parent Guarantor or] any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor or any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Issuer, the Guarantor, [the Parent Guarantor or] any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the holders.

If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of any Notes shall exist and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any holder to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Issuer, the Guarantor or any other guarantors of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guarantee Agreement and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the holder thereof had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement, and the Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 5. SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION.

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

(b) The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Financial Indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuer, [the Parent Guarantor,] any [other] Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in clause (a) of this Section 5, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the Required Holders so request, any such Financial Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by the Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement.

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-5

(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by the Guarantor in violation of any of the preceding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the holders and shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement.

(d) The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Agreement and that its agreements set forth in this Guarantee Agreement (including this Section 5) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 6. REINSTATEMENT OF GUARANTEE.

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

Section 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTOR.

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

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

Section 10. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

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

10.2 Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Guarantor will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantor will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2 to each holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Guarantor will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder as

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-7

consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent made pursuant to this Section 10.2 by the holder of any Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer such Note to an Obligor (including the Guarantor) or any Affiliate of an Obligor and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such transferring holder.

10.3 Binding Effect. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 10 applies equally to all holders and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantor without regard to whether any Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Guarantor and the holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder. As used herein, the term “this Guarantee Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Guarantee Agreement as it may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time.

10.4 Notes Held by Issuer, etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guarantee Agreement, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Obligor (including the Guarantor) or any Affiliate of an Obligor shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-8

(b) if to any holder, to such holder at the addresses specified for such communications set forth in Schedule A to the Note Agreement, or such other address as such holder shall have specified to the Guarantor in writing.

Each document, instrument, financial statement, report, notice or other communication delivered in connection with this Guarantee Agreement shall be in English or accompanied by an English translation thereof.

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

Section 12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Guarantee Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or not.

12.2 Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law), not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.3 Construction. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Whether any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

The section and subsection headings in this Guarantee Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall neither be deemed to be a part of this Guarantee Agreement nor modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof. All references herein to numbered sections, unless otherwise indicated, are to sections of this Guarantee Agreement. Words and definitions in the singular shall be read and construed as though in the plural and vice versa, and words in the masculine, neuter or feminine gender shall be read and construed as though in either of the other genders where the context so requires.

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-9

12.4 Further Assurances. The Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Required Holders may from time to time reasonably request in order to effectuate fully the purposes of this Guarantee Agreement.

12.5 Governing Law. This Guarantee Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of England and Wales.

12.6 Jurisdiction.

(a) The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute in connection with this Guarantee Agreement, including a dispute relating to any non- contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee Agreement.

(b) The English courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any such dispute and the Guarantor waives objection to those courts on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise in relation to proceedings in connection with this Guarantee Agreement.

(c) This Section 12.6 is for the benefit of the holders of Notes only. To the extent allowed by law, the Required Holders may take:

(1) proceedings in any other court; and

(2) concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

12.7 Obligation to Make Payment in U.S. Dollars. Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder in U.S. Dollars which is made to or for the account of any holder in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of the Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement only to the extent of the amount of U.S. Dollars which such holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of U.S. Dollars that could be so purchased is less than the amount of U.S. Dollars originally due to such holder, the Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Guarantee Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order. As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a

Exhibit 1(b)(ii)-10

day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

12.8 Reproduction of Documents; Execution. This Guarantee Agreement may be reproduced by any holder by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such holder may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Guarantor agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such holder in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 12.8 shall not prohibit the Guarantor or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction. A facsimile or electronic transmission of the signature page of the Guarantor shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes.

The documents referred to in items (a) through (d) above are referred to herein collectively as the “NY Law Financing Documents”; the NY Law Financing Documents and the Intercreditor Deed are referred to herein collectively as the “Financing Documents”; and the documents referred to in items (a) through (h) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Documents”.

In all such examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of original and certified documents and the conformity to original or certified copies of all copies submitted to us as conformed or facsimile, electronic or photo static copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, statements and representations contained in the Documents and certificates and other information of or from representatives of each Obligor and others and assume compliance on the part of all parties to the Documents with their covenants and agreements contained therein. With respect to the opinions expressed in paragraph 1 below, we have relied solely upon certificates of public officials. The opinions expressed in clause (b) of paragraph 4 below are limited to our review of only those laws and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable to borrowers and guarantors in transactions of the type contemplated by the Financing Documents.

To the extent it may be relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed (i) that all of the parties to the Financing Documents (other than the DE Obligors) are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization and have the power and authority to execute and deliver the Financing Documents, to perform their obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) that the Financing Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all of the parties thereto (other than the DE Obligors), (iii) that the Financing Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of all the parties thereto (other than the Obligors), enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms, and (iv) that all of the parties to the Financing Documents comply with all laws applicable thereto (including without limitation the laws of England and Wales and the State of New Jersey).

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each DE Obligor is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. Each DE Obligor has the requisite corporate power, and has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize it, to execute and deliver each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations thereunder and to grant the security interests pursuant to the Financing Documents to which it is a party.

3. Each DE Obligor has duly executed and delivered each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party.

4. The execution and delivery by each Obligor of the Financing Documents to which it is a party and the performance by each Obligor of its obligations thereunder,

(a) solely with respect to each DE Obligor, do not contravene any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of such DE Obligor, and

(b) do not violate the laws, or regulations of any governmental agency or authority, of the United States of America or the State of New York or, in the case of the DE Obligors, the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law applicable to such Obligor or its property and do not require under such laws or regulations any filing or registration by such Obligor with, or approval or consent to such Obligor of, any such governmental agency or authority that has not been made or obtained except (i) those required in the ordinary course of business after the date hereof in connection with the performance by such Obligor of its obligations under certain covenants contained in the Financing Documents, (ii) to perfect or release security interests or other liens thereunder, and (iii) pursuant to securities and other laws that may be applicable to the disposition of any collateral subject thereto; it being understood that the opinion in this paragraph 4 does not address any federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws or rules and regulations.

5. Each of the NY Law Financing Documents is a valid and binding obligation of each Obligor that is a party thereto enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms.

6. The issuance and sale of the Notes contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement and the application of the proceeds thereof as provided therein do not violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

7. No Obligor is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

8. Each of the U.S. Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement creates in favor of the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in [ ]) , as security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement and U.S. Pledge Agreement, respectively), a valid security interest in all the U.S. Obligors’ rights, title and interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement, respectively) in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the NYUCC (the “Article 9 Collateral”).

9. Upon filing of the DE Financing Statements with the DE Filing Office, the Security Trustee will have a perfected security interest in the DE Obligors’ rights in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral described in the DE Financing Statements in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement under the DEUCC.

10. The U.S. Pledge Agreement, together with physical delivery of the certificates representing the shares of stock identified on Schedule I to the U.S. Pledge Agreement (the “Pledged Securities”) accompanied by an effective indorsement to the Security Trustee or in blank, to the Security Trustee in the State of New York, creates in favor of the Security Trustee a valid and perfected security interest in the U.S. Obligors’ rights in the Pledged Securities. Assuming the Security Trustee (and each of the Secured Parties) acquires its interest in the Pledged Securities without notice of any adverse claim and that each of the Pledged Securities is

either in bearer form or is in registered form issued in the name of the Security Trustee or accompanied by an effective indorsement to the Security Trustee or in blank, the Security Trustee will acquire its security interest in the Pledged Securities free of any adverse claim.

11. Based upon and assuming (i) the accuracy of the Company’s and each of the other Obligors’ representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) the accuracy of the Note Purchasers’ representations and warranties contained in Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement neither the Company nor any of the other Obligors are required to register the Notes (or the related guarantees thereof) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualify an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in connection with the sale of the Notes to the Note Purchasers in the manner and under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement; it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent resale of any Notes.

We have assumed for purposes of our opinions in paragraphs 8 through 10 the following:

(i) each of the relevant Obligors has (or has the power to transfer) sufficient rights in the Collateral (as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement, respectively) for the security interest in favor of the Security Trustee to attach; and value has been given by the Note Purchasers to each of the relevant Obligors for the security interest granted by each such Obligor in the Collateral (as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement, respectively);

(ii) that (x) the certificate of incorporation of each DE Obligor has not been amended, (y) the name and jurisdiction of organization of each DE Obligor is true and accurate in accordance with the records of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and (z) there are no proceedings for the merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, termination, change of jurisdiction of organization or change of name of any DE Obligor;

(iii) the Security Trustee (or any bailee of the Security Trustee) is not acting as a securities intermediary in connection with any of the Collateral (as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement, respectively) or the Financing Documents; and

(iv) the Obligors do not control, are not controlled by, and are not under common control with, the Security Trustee (or any bailee of the Security Trustee); the Security Trustee, or any bailee that has acknowledged in an authenticated record that it is holding on behalf of the Security Trustee, retains continuous and exclusive possession in the State of New York of the Pledged Securities and has possession of such items solely on behalf of the Secured Parties and not any other person; the Pledged Securities are the only certificates issued and outstanding with respect to the shares of capital stock intended to be represented thereby; and the Pledged

Securities (other than those issued by Delaware corporations) are certificated securities.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

(A) We express no opinion as to:

(i) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision in any Financing Document:

(a) relating to (I) forum selection or submission to jurisdiction (including any waiver of any objection to venue in any court or that a court is an inconvenient forum) to the extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of such provision is to be considered by any court other than a court of the State of New York, or (II) choice of governing law to the extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of such provision (x) is to be considered by any court other than a court of the State of New York or a federal court sitting in the State of New York, in each case applying the choice of law rules of the State of New York, or (y) is contrary to the governing law provided in Sections 1-105(2), 8-110 or 9-301 to 9-306 of the NYUCC, or (III) service of process, or (IV) waivers of any rights to trial by jury;

(b) relating to indemnification, contribution or exculpation (I) in connection with violations of applicable laws, statutory duties or public policy, or (II) in connection with willful, reckless or unlawful acts or gross negligence of the indemnified or exculpated party or the party receiving contribution, or (III) under circumstances involving the negligence of the indemnified or exculpated party or the party receiving contribution in which a court might determine the provision to be unfair or insufficiently explicit;

(f) relating to any purported waiver, release or variation of rights or other agreement to similar effect (all of the foregoing, collectively, a “Waiver”) by any Obligor under any of the Financing Documents to the extent limited by Sections 1-102(3) of the NYUCC or other provisions of applicable law (including judicial decisions), or to the extent that such a Waiver applies to a right, claim, duty, ground for discharge or release of, or defense available to, an obligor generally or as a guarantor or co-obligor or otherwise available as a matter of law (including judicial decisions), except to the extent that such a Waiver is effective under and is not prohibited by Sections 9-602 or 9-603 of the NYUCC or other applicable law (including judicial decisions);

(h) providing for payments by an Obligor in a currency other than U.S. dollars to the extent that a court will under applicable law convert a judgment rendered in such other currency into U.S. dollars;

(i) that purports to limit the ability of any Obligor or any other person to transfer any of its right, title or interest in or to any collateral, to the extent contemplated by Section 9-401 of the NYUCC or other applicable law regarding restraints on alienation;

(j) relating to third party beneficiary rights of the Note Purchasers, the Security Trustee or other persons;

(ii) the effect of any law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York wherein any party to the Financing Documents may be located or wherein enforcement of any Financing Document may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible;

(iii) the right, title or interest of any Obligor (or the power of any Obligor to transfer rights) in or to any collateral under the Financing Documents or any other property; whether any property constitutes a particular type of collateral under the DEUCC or NYUCC; or the validity or effectiveness for any purpose of any such collateral or any other property;

(iv) (x) except as expressly stated in paragraphs 8 through 10 above, the creation, attachment, validity, binding effect, enforceability or perfection of any security interest, pledge, lien, mortgage or other encumbrance that may be created under any of the Financing Documents, or (y) except as expressly stated in the second sentence of paragraph 10 above, the priority or other effect of perfection or non-perfection of any security interest created under any of the Financing Documents;

(v) the creation, attachment, validity, binding effect, enforceability, perfection, priority or other effect of perfection or non-perfection of any security interest in: (1) the proceeds of any collateral other than in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 9-315 of the NYUCC, (2) goods that are accessions to, or commingled or processed with, other goods other than in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 9-335 or 9-336 of the NYUCC, (3) any item of collateral subject to a certificate-of-title statute or other statute, regulation or treaty set forth in Section 9-311(a) of the NY UCC, (4) consumer goods, (5) commercial tort claims, (6) rights to demand payment or performance under a letter of credit, (7) commodity accounts or commodity contracts, (8) as extracted collateral, (9) farm products, (10) goods that are or are to become fixtures, (11) health care insurance receivables, (12) manufactured homes, (13) standing timber or timber to be cut, (14) cooperative apartment interests, (15) any item of collateral that is subject to restriction on or prohibition against transfer (except to the extent rendered ineffective by Sections 9-401, 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the NYUCC) contained in an agreement, instrument, document or applicable law governing, evidencing or otherwise relating to such item, or (16) any obligations of the United States of America, a state, a foreign country or any other governmental unit;

(vi) any filings or other actions required after the date of this opinion to maintain the perfection, priority or other effect of perfection of the security interests under the Financing Documents in any collateral; and

(vii) any agreement, instrument or other document referred to, or incorporated by reference, in any of the Financing Documents, other than the Financing Documents listed in this opinion letter.

(B) Our opinions are subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (including, without limitation, standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness, equitable defenses and limits on the availability of equitable remedies), whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, and (iii) the qualification that certain provisions of the Financing Documents (other than the Notes) may be unenforceable in whole or in part, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity as against any Obligor of the Financing Documents as a whole, and the Financing Documents and the laws of the State of New York contain adequate provisions for enforcing payment of the obligations governed or secured thereby, subject to the other qualifications contained in this letter.

(ii) except as expressly stated in paragraphs 6, 7 and 11, any federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws or rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

(F) Pursuant to Section 9-108(c) of the NYUCC, a description of collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” or words of similar import is not sufficient for purposes of Section 9-203 of the NYUCC and, accordingly, we express no opinion regarding, or the effect of, any such description of collateral in the U.S. Security Agreement.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York and, to the extent relevant to the opinions expressed in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, the Delaware General Corporation Law, and, to the extent relevant to paragraph 9 above, the DEUCC, each as currently in effect; and no opinion is expressed with respect to any other laws or any effect that such other laws may have on the opinions expressed herein.

Our opinions in paragraph 8 above are limited to Article 9 of the NYUCC, and our opinions in paragraph 10 above are limited to Articles 8 and 9 of the NYUCC and, therefore, those opinions do not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than New York, and of New York except for Articles 8 or 9, as the case may be, of the NYUCC , (ii) collateral of a type not subject to Article 9 of the NYUCC, and (iii) except as stated in paragraph 10 above, under the NYUCC what law governs perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral addressed by this opinion letter.

3. Documents Examined

In this transaction, we have acted as legal advisers in England to the Parent and we have examined originals or copies of the following documents:

(a) the memorandum and articles of association, the certificate of incorporation and the certificates of incorporation on change of name (if any) of each of the Obligors in each case as disclosed by our on-line search referred to in paragraph (b) below;

(b) the results of an on-line search of the records of the Registrar of Companies in respect of each of the Obligors carried out by us on · 2011;

(c) minutes of a meeting of the board of directors of each of the Obligors dated · 2011 approving the Note Documents; and

(d) a copy of each of the Note Documents.

4. Searches

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the documents which we have examined in respect of the accuracy of the material matters referred to therein, which we have not independently established.

On · 2011 we carried out an on-line search at the Companies Registry, Cardiff in respect of each of the Obligors. Also on · 2011 we made an enquiry of the Companies Court which informed us that it had no record on its central index of the presentation of any winding up petition or petition for the appointment of an administrator in respect of any of the Obligors. We have assumed that a further search at the Companies Registry and a further enquiry of the Companies Court would not reveal any circumstances which would require an amendment to this opinion or affect our willingness to give this opinion.

The searches and enquiry did not reveal the filing of any winding up order, resolution or petition or the filing of any appointment of an administrative receiver or administrator of any of the Obligors.

Except as stated above we have not examined and shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any litigation, contracts, instruments or other documents entered into by or affecting any of the Obligors or any of their respective corporate records and we have not made any other enquiries or searches concerning any of the Obligors.

5. Assumptions

This opinion relates only to English law as it exists at the date hereof and assumes:

(a) the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals;

(b) the conformity to originals of all documents supplied to us as copies and the authenticity and completeness of the originals of such documents;

(c) that each of the documents which we have examined remains accurate and that none of them has been amended, supplemented, replaced or varied (except in so far as notified to us) and that the on-line records of the Registrar of Companies referred to at paragraph 3(b) above correctly reflect all matters which occurred on or prior to · 2011 and/or which are required to be noted on such records (disregarding for these purposes any grace periods for making any filings under any applicable legislation);

(d) the due authorisation, execution and delivery of the Note Documents by all parties thereto (other than the Obligors) and the capacity, power and authority of each of the parties to the Note Documents (other than the Obligors) to enter into the Note Documents;

(e) that the directors’ resolutions of the Obligors recorded in the board minutes referred to in paragraph 3(c) above were duly passed at properly convened meetings, that a duly qualified quorum voted in favour of approving those resolutions, that any provisions contained in the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (as amended) or the articles of association of the Obligors relating to the declaration of directors’ interests or the power of the interested directors to vote were duly observed and that such resolutions have not been amended or rescinded and are in full force and effect;

(f) that each of the Obligors was fully solvent at the time of execution of, and immediately after, the execution of the Note Documents to which it is a party and that the execution and performance by each of the Obligors of its obligations under the Note Documents to which it is a party are in its best interests;

(g) that none of the Obligors is restricted by contract or any other arrangement binding on it (with the exception of their memorandum and articles of association) from entering into any of the Note Documents to which it is a party;

(h) that each of the Note Documents (other than those governed by the laws of England and Wales) are legal, valid and binding on the Obligors party to them under the proper law thereof and that there are no provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction outside England which would be contravened by the execution and delivery of the Note Documents and that, to the extent that any obligation contained in the Note Documents falls to be performed in any jurisdiction outside England, its performance will not be illegal by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction;

(i) that the borrowing limits specified in the articles of association of the Obligors have not been and will not be exceeded by the execution and performance of the Note Documents; and

(j) that the choice of the laws of England and Wales as the proper law of the Note Documents which are governed by the laws of England and Wales is a bona fide choice of law and is not intended to evade any provision or requirement of the laws of any other jurisdiction which would otherwise be applicable.

We have not investigated the laws of any country other than England. We have assumed for the purposes hereof, notwithstanding the fact that any of the Obligors may own assets which are situated outside England that no law other than the law of England affects any of the conclusions stated below.

We express no opinion as to matters of fact.

6. Opinion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing we are of the opinion that so far as the present law of England is concerned:

(1) Due Incorporation

Each of the Obligors is a company duly incorporated with limited liability and validly exists under English law.

(2) Powers

Each of the Obligors has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Note Documents to which it is a party.

(3) Legal Validity and Enforceability

Each of the Note Documents to which it is a party are legal, valid, binding and enforceable on each of the Obligors and US Obligors.

(4) Due Execution and Delivery

Each of the Obligors has duly executed and delivered the Note Documents to which it is a party.

(5) Security

Subject to due registration where required the Debenture validly creates a security interest over the Secured Assets (as defined therein) of the Chargors (as defined therein).

The security trusts purported to be established by the lntercreditor Deed have been validly constituted under English law.

(6) Compliance with Law and Constitution

All corporate and other action, acts, conditions and things required to be done, fulfilled or performed pursuant to English law or regulation or, with respect to the Obligors, its memorandum and articles of association in order:

(a) to authorise and to enable each of the Obligors and the US Obligors lawfully to enter into, exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the Note Documents to which it is a party;

(b) to ensure that the obligations expressed to be assumed by each of the Obligors and the US Obligors in those of the Note Documents to which it is party are legal, valid and binding and enforceable on and against it in accordance with their respective terms; and

have been done, fulfilled and performed in compliance with English law and, with respect to the Obligors, the memorandum and articles of association of each of the Obligors (as the case may be).

(7) Non-Conflict

The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Obligors of each of the Note Documents to which it is a party does not contravene its memorandum and articles of association or any law or regulation applicable to English companies generally.

(8) Immunity from Suit

In any proceedings taken in England in relation to any of the Note Documents, none of the Obligors shall be entitled to claim for itself or any of its assets immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process.

(9) Filings

It is not necessary that any of the Note Documents be filed, registered, recorded or enrolled with any court or other English governmental, judicial or public body, regulatory authority or any other person in connection with its execution, delivery or performance or prior to commencement of any court proceedings relating to it other than delivery of prescribed particulars of each of the Transaction Security Documents together with a copy thereof to the Companies Registration Office in Cardiff for registration pursuant to the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ within 21 days of its creation.

(10) Consents

No consent or approval of any English governmental, judicial or public body, regulatory authority or any other person or entity in England which has not been obtained or taken is, or shall have been, required or is necessary in each case under English law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Note Documents by each of the Obligors and the US Obligors and no stamp, registration or similar tax or charge imposed by any governmental authority of or in the United Kingdom is payable in respect of the execution or delivery of the Note Documents or the performance by the Obligors and the US Obligors of their obligations thereunder.

(11) Choice of Law

In any proceedings taken in England in relation to the Note Documents governed by New York law, the choice of New York law as the governing law of such Note Documents will be recognised and applied except insofar as concerns competing rights in relation to property situated in England and Wales or intangible assets governed by English law.

(12) Foreign Currency Judgments

It is competent for an English court to enforce a judgment obtained before the English courts which is expressed in terms of a currency

other than sterling but the currency must be converted into sterling for enforcement purposes. We express no opinion as to the enforceability in the English courts of a judgment in a currency other than sterling obtained in a jurisdiction outside England. Foreign currency amounts claimed in a liquidation must be converted into sterling at the rate prevailing at the commencement of liquidation.

(13) Enforceability of New York Judgment

A judgment for a debt or definite sum of money obtained against any of the Obligors in the Courts of the State of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York could not be enforced by registration in the English courts, but such judgment would be treated as itself constituting a cause of action against the appropriate Obligor and could be sued upon in the English courts without re-examination or re-adjudication by the English courts of the matters adjudicated upon provided that:

(a) the original court had jurisdiction to deliver the original judgment under its rules and under the rules of the English courts and the original judgment is final and conclusive between the parties;

(b) the original judgment was given in respect of a cause of action known to English law;

(c) the original judgment is not for multiple damages or for taxes or charges of a like nature or fines or other penalties;

(d) the original judgment was not obtained by fraud or in proceedings contrary to natural justice and its enforcement is not contrary to English public policy;

(e) restrictions have not been imposed under the Protection of Trading ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ prior to judgment being enforced (no relevant restrictions exist under the Act at the date of this opinion);

(f) enforcement proceedings are instituted within six years after the date of the original judgment; and

(g) the original judgment is not inconsistent with an English judgment in respect of the same matter.

(14) Ranking

Each Obligor’s obligations under its English Guarantee Agreement rank at least equally and ratably and pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such Obligor other than those preferred by operation of law applying to English companies generally.

(15) Taxes

No United Kingdom taxes, duties (whether value added tax or stamp duty), charges or fees are payable by any of the Obligors in connection with the execution or delivery of or any payment under the Note Documents and all payments by the Obligors under the Note Documents may be made without deduction of United Kingdom taxes. No United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable by any Purchaser in connection with the execution or delivery of any of the Note Documents.

(16) Miscellaneous

It is not necessary under the laws of the United Kingdom in order to enable any person to enforce its rights under the English Guarantee Agreements that such person be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the United Kingdom.

7. Qualifications

(1) Enforceability

The term “enforceable” when used in this opinion in relation to obligations means that the obligations assumed by the relevant party under the relevant Document are of a type which the English courts will enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms.

The term “enforceable” when used in this opinion as applied to any security interest means that the security interest constitutes a valid, binding and effective right in security over the property concerned.

(2) Time Bar and Set-off or Counterclaim

Enforcement of obligations may become time barred by statute or may be or become subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim which may apply notwithstanding the terms of the document.

(3) Public Policy

Where obligations are to be performed or observed in jurisdictions outside England, or by a person subject to the laws of a jurisdiction outside England, they may not be enforceable under English law to the extent that performance or observance would be illegal or contrary to public policy under the laws of any such jurisdiction or by virtue of any international treaty to which England is a party and would not be enforceable in England to the extent that performance would be illegal or contrary to public policy under English law.

(4) Third Party Rights

In relation to any contract made on or after 11th May 2000, a person

who is not a party to that contract but who is identified in the contract by name or as a member of a class or as answering a particular description will be able to enforce any of its terms which are expressed to be for his benefit but only if:

(1) the contract expressly provides that he may; or

(2) the term which he is seeking to enforce purports to confer a benefit on him;

unless on a proper construction of the contract it appears that the parties to the contract did not intend the term to be enforceable by him.

In relation to any contract made before 11th November 1999 a person who is not a party to that contract will not be able to enforce any of its terms even if the contract is expressed to be for the benefit of that person.

For any contract made on or after 11th November 1999 but before 11th May 2000 a person who is not a party to that contract will have the rights which he would have had if the contract had been entered into on or after 11th May 2000 but only if the contract expressly provides for the application of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

(5) Specific Performance

The power of the English courts to make an order for specific performance of an obligation or to order any other equitable remedy is discretionary and, accordingly, an English court might make an award of damages where specific performance of any obligation or any other equitable remedy is sought and no opinion is given as to how the English courts might exercise that discretion.

(6) Concurrent Proceedings

An English court may suspend proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

(7) Severability

Provisions as to severability may not be binding under English law, the question of whether or not any provision relating to invalidity on account of illegality may be severed from the other provisions thereto in order to save those other provisions being determined by an English court in its discretion.

(8) Costs Indemnity

An English court may refuse to give effect to a purported contractual obligation to pay costs imposed upon another party in respect of a suit in an English court, an English court may not award by way of costs

all of the expenditure incurred by a successful litigant in proceedings brought before the court and an undertaking by an Obligor in the Debenture to bear any indemnity in respect of any taxes or duties might not be enforceable and may be held to be void in respect of United Kingdom stamp duties, pursuant to Section 117 of the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

(9) Exercise of Discretion

Where a person is vested with a discretion or may determine a matter in his opinion then English law may require that such discretion is exercised objectively and reasonably or that such opinion is based upon reasonable and objective grounds.

(10) Bankruptcy

Our opinion as regards the binding effect of the obligations of the Obligors or the power of each of the Obligors as appropriate to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the Note Documents is subject to any limitations arising from bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, administration, receivership, dissolution, reorganisation and similar laws generally affecting the rights of creditors.

(11) Property Outside England

We express no opinion as to the efficacy of the Transaction Security Documents in relation to any property situated outside England and Wales or which is otherwise subject to the laws of any other jurisdiction other than England.

(12) Equitable Supervision of Enforcement

The exercise by the Purchasers and the Security Trustee of the powers and remedies conferred on them by the Note Documents or otherwise vested in them by law will be subject to general equitable principles regarding the enforcement of security and the general supervisory powers and discretion of the English courts in the context thereof and we express no opinion as to the efficacy of any powers conferred upon the Purchasers and the Security Trustee or any receiver appointed under the Transaction Security Documents insofar as these powers go beyond those conferred by statute or by common law.

(13) Priority and nature of charges

We express no opinion in respect of the relevant priority rules for any security created by the Note Documents because, firstly, in the case of assets situated outside England and Wales, priority will be likely to be determined by the laws of the place in which they are situated and secondly in so far as any English laws apply with regard to this matter, these are complex and depend partly upon the type of asset and the type of charge.

However, without being comprehensive, we would particularly draw your attention to the following points:

(a) encumbrances (if any) created on security assets prior to the security created thereover by the relevant Note Documents may rank prior to that created by the Note Documents;

(b) certain statutory preferences, fixed charges, possessory liens, preferred creditors and other priorities arising by law may have a prior ranking;

(c) the security created under the relevant Note Documents may be defeated by interests acquired by third parties without notice of the charges created thereby;

(d) to the extent that the security assets include property acquired after the date of the relevant Note Documents, the charges created thereunder may be subject to any security interests and other rights affecting such property on the acquisition thereof;

(e) to the extent that the security assets are subject to a floating charge under the Transaction Security Documents, such charge will take effect subject to any charges or other rights (including creditors’ processes) validly created or arising prior to the crystallisation of such floating charge;

(f) we express no opinion on whether any provision in any of the Note Documents conferring a right of set-off or similar right would be effective against a liquidator, administrator or creditor.

(14) Taxes

Our opinion at paragraph 6(15) above is expressed on the basis that:-

(i) the Obligors are and will remain resident in the United Kingdom for taxation purposes; and

(ii) all payments of interest to be made by or through an Obligor pursuant to the Note Documents will be paid either:-

(a) to a Lender which is a “bank” within the meaning of section 991 of the Income Tax ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ and which is beneficially entitled to interest payable to it under the Note Documents and is within the charge to United Kingdom corporation tax with respect to that interest; or

(b) (i) a company resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes which, at date of payment, is beneficially entitled to the interest payable to it under the Note Document; or

(ii) a person fulfilling any one of the conditions set out in sections 933 to 937 (inclusive) of the Income Tax ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ which at the date of payment, is beneficially entitled to the interest payable to it under the Note Documents; or

(iii) a company not resident in the United Kingdom which carries on a trade in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency which, at the date of payment, is beneficially entitled to the interest payable to it under the Note Documents and which brings the interest into account in computing its chargeable profits (within the meaning given by Section 11(2) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988);

in each case in respect of which the Obligor has not received a notification (which remains valid) from the Board of the Inland Revenue directing that section 930 of the Income Tax Act 2007 is not to apply to any such payment; or

(c) pursuant to valid formal confirmation from the HM Revenue & Customs that the relevant provisions of an applicable double taxation convention enable the interest to be paid without deduction of tax.

(15) Security Rights

We do not provide any opinion on the validity of any provision of the Note Purchase Agreement which purports to create any security rights (or liens) on the part of the Company or in respect of any asset of the Company.

(16) Exclusive Jurisdiction

Notwithstanding any provision of any of the Note Documents which awards the courts of England exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any action or proceeding and to settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with any of the Note Documents, if any proceedings are brought in any court of another member state of the European Union before any proceedings are brought in the English courts in relation to the same subject matter, any such English proceedings will be suspended until the foreign court has decided whether or not it has jurisdiction to hear the case and if the foreign court decides that it has jurisdiction the English court must decline to accept the case.

(17) Human Rights Act 1998

We have taken no account of the effect of the Human Rights Act 1998 on any laws applicable to the interpretation or enforcement of the

Note Documents or on the action by any party in entering into or performing the Note Documents. The Human Rights Act 1998 gives effect to rights and fundamental freedoms guaranteed under the European Convention on Human Rights (“Convention Rights”). It is unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention Right and, wherever possible, primary and subordinated legislation must be read and given effect in a way which is compatible with Convention Rights. There is only limited English case law to provide guidance on how the law introduced by the Human Rights ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ will apply to different circumstances.

(18) Additional Interests

If a provision for the payment of compensation or additional interest is not a genuine estimate of the loss of the aggrieved party, then that provision may be held to be unenforceable on the grounds that it is the penalty.

(19) Oral Agreement

The terms of a written agreement may be varied by oral agreement of the parties notwithstanding that such written agreement requires variations to be made only in writing.

(20) Unfair ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇

The effect of contract terms purporting to exclude or restrict liability for negligence or breach of duty is limited by the Unfair ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.

8. Reliance

This opinion (qualified as set forth herein) is given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England at the date hereof, is solely for the benefit of the addressees in connection with the transaction referred to above only in their various capacities referred to above and is not to be relied on by any other person for any other purpose, nor is it to be quoted or made public in any way; provided that this opinion may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note that acquires the Note in compliance with the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement. We do not render any opinion with respect to any matters except as expressly set forth above. For the avoidance of doubt, copies of this opinion may be furnished to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any successor regulatory authority.

Yours faithfully

Exhibit 4.4(a)(iii)

Form of Opinion of New Jersey Special Counsel for the Obligors

See attached

, 2011

To the Note Purchasers

listed in Schedule 1 hereto

(the “Note Purchasers”)

c/o

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New Jersey counsel for ▇▇▇ Chemicals Inc. (formerly known as Magnesium Elektron Inc., a New Jersey Corporation) (“▇▇▇”) in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of May [·], 2011 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among (i) BA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), (ii) Luxfer Holdings PLC (Registered No. 3690830), a Public Limited Company, organized under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent Guarantor”) and (iii) each of the parties listed in Schedule 2 hereto (each an “Original Subsidiary Guarantor”) and the Note Purchasers. The Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Original Subsidiary Guarantors are referred to herein collectively as the “Obligors”; the Company, Luxfer Inc., a Delaware corporation, ▇▇▇▇ Metals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reade Manufacturing Company, a Delaware corporation, and Magnesium Elektron North America Inc., a Delaware corporation, are referred to herein collectively as the “DE Obligors”; and the DE Obligors and ▇▇▇ are referred to herein collectively as the “U.S. Obligors”. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section [4.4] of the Note Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in, or by reference in, the Note Purchase Agreement have the meanings assigned to such terms therein, or by reference therein, unless otherwise defined herein. The Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York is referred to herein as the “NYUCC.” Terms used herein that are defined in Articles 8 and 9 of the NYUCC and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms therein. The Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New Jersey is referred to herein as the “NJUCC.” “UCC” means the NYUCC and the NJUCC, as applicable. With your permission, all assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any independent investigation or verification on our part, and we express no opinion with respect to the subject matter or accuracy of such assumptions or items relied upon.

In connection with this opinion, we have (i) investigated such questions of law, (ii) examined originals, or certified, conformed or reproduction copies, of such documents and records of ▇▇▇, such certificates of public officials and such other documents, and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives of each Obligor and others, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this

opinion. We have examined, among other documents, the following (each dated [closing date to be inserted], unless otherwise noted):

(a) An executed copy of the Note Purchase Agreement, dated May [·], 2011;

(b) An executed copy of each of the Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company on the date hereof pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement;

(d) An executed copy of the Share Pledge Agreement (the “U.S. Pledge Agreement”) between the Company, ▇▇▇ and Luxfer Overseas Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales with company number 3081726 (“Overseas Holdings” and, together with the Company and ▇▇▇, the “Pledgors”) and the Security Trustee;

(e) An executed copy of the Intercreditor Deed (the “Intercreditor Deed”), dated , 2011, between Parent Guarantor, the Company, the Original Subsidiary Guarantors, the Security Trustee, the Note Purchasers and the other agents and fmancial institutions listed on the signature pages thereto;

(f) An executed copy of the Debenture (the “Debenture”)[, dated May [·], 2011,] between [Parent Guarantor, the Company, the Original Subsidiary Guarantors] and the Security Trustee;

(g) Unfiled copies of a financing statement on form UCC-1 (the “NJ Financing Statement”) naming ▇▇▇ as debtor and the Security Trustee as secured party, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, which NJ Financing Statement we understand is to be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey, Uniform Commercial Code Section (the “NJ Filing Office”);

(h) The Secretary’s Certificate of ▇▇▇ delivered to us in connection with this opinion, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B; and

(i) The Officer’s Certificate of ▇▇▇ delivered to us in connection with this opinion, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C;

(j) The Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors of BA Holdings, Inc., dated .

The documents referred to in items (a) through (d) above are referred to herein collectively as the “NY Law Financing Documents”; the NY Law Financing Documents, the Intercreditor Deed and the Debenture are referred to herein collectively as the “Financing Documents”; and the documents referred to in items (a) through (j) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Documents”.

In all such examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of original and certified documents and the conformity to original or certified copies of all copies submitted to us as conformed or facsimile, electronic or photo static copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, statements and representations contained in the Documents and certificates and other information of or from representatives of ▇▇▇ and others and assume compliance on the part of all parties to the Documents with their covenants and agreements contained therein. With respect to the opinions expressed in paragraph 1 below, we have relied solely upon certificates of public officials. The opinions expressed in clause (b) of paragraph 4 below are limited to our review of only those laws and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable to borrowers and guarantors in transactions of the type contemplated by the Financing Documents.

To the extent it may be relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed (i) that all of the parties to the Financing Documents (other than ▇▇▇) are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization and have the power and authority to execute and deliver the Financing Documents, to perform their obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) that the Financing Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all of the parties thereto (other than ▇▇▇ ), (iii) that the Financing Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of all the parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms, (iv) that all of the parties to the Financing Documents comply with all laws applicable thereto (including without limitation the laws of England and Wales and the State of New Jersey) and based our opinion upon (v) the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP dated indicating that item (j), that the unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of BA Holdings, Inc. was duly authorized, within the power of BA Holdings, Inc. and was issued after all corporate action necessary to authorize it was taken.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. ▇▇▇ is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey.

2. ▇▇▇ has the requisite corporate power, and has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize it, to execute and deliver each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations thereunder and to grant the security interests pursuant to the Financing Documents to which it is a party.

3. ▇▇▇ has duly executed and delivered each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party.

4. The execution and delivery by ▇▇▇ of the Financing Documents to which it is a party and the performance by ▇▇▇ of its obligations thereunder,

(a) solely with respect to ▇▇▇, do not contravene any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of ▇▇▇, and

(b) do not violate the laws, or regulations of any governmental agency or authority, of the United States of America or the State of New Jersey applicable to ▇▇▇ or its property and do not require under such laws or regulations any filing or registration by ▇▇▇ with, or approval or consent to ▇▇▇ of, any such governmental agency or authority that has not been made or obtained except (i) those required in the ordinary course of business after the date hereof in connection with the performance by ▇▇▇ of its obligations under certain covenants contained in the Financing Documents, (ii) to perfect or release security interests or other liens thereunder, and (iii) pursuant to securities and other laws that may be applicable to the disposition of any collateral subject thereto; it being understood that the opinion in this paragraph 4 does not address any federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws or rules and regulations.

5. Upon the timely and proper filing of the Financing Statement, the Security Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in each case used herein as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement), has a perfected security interest under the NJUCC in MEL’s rights in the portion of the Collateral (in each case used herein as described in the U.S. Security Agreement and indicated on the NJ Financing Statement) as constitutes personal property of ▇▇▇ in which a security interest can be perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements in the State of Jersey under the NJUCC.

6. The U.S. Pledge Agreement, together with physical delivery of the certificates representing the shares of stock identified on Schedule I to the U.S. Pledge Agreement (the “Pledged Securities”) accompanied by an effective endorsement to the Security Trustee or in blank, to the Security Trustee in the State of New York, creates in favor of the Security Trustee a valid and perfected security interest in MEL’s rights in the Pledged Securities. Assuming the Security Trustee (and each of the Secured Parties) acquires its interest in the Pledged Securities without notice of any adverse claim and that each of the Pledged Securities is either in bearer form or is in registered form issued in the name of the Security Trustee or accompanied by an effective endorsement to the Security Trustee or in blank, the Security Trustee will acquire its security interest in the Pledged Securities free of any adverse claim.

We have assumed for purposes of our opinions in paragraphs 5 and 6 the following:

(i) ▇▇▇ has (or has the power to transfer) sufficient rights in the subject collateral for the security interest in favor of the Security Trustee to attach;

and value has been given by the Note Purchasers to ▇▇▇ for the security interest granted by ▇▇▇ in the subject collateral;

(ii) that (x) the certificate of incorporation of ▇▇▇ has not been amended, (y) the name and jurisdiction of organization of ▇▇▇ is true and accurate in accordance with the records of the Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey and (z) there are no proceedings for the merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, termination, change of jurisdiction of organization or change of name of ▇▇▇;

(iii) the Secured Parties (or any bailee of the Secured Parties) are not acting in a capacity as a securities intermediary in connection with any of the Collateral or the Financing Documents; and

(iv) The Obligors and ▇▇▇ do not control, are not controlled by, and are not under common control with, the Security Trustee (or any bailee of the Security Trustee); the Security Trustee, or any bailee that has acknowledged in an authenticated record that it is holding on behalf of the Security Trustee, retains continuous and exclusive possession in the State of New York of the Pledged Securities and has possession of such items solely on behalf of the Secured Parties and not any other person; the Pledged Securities are the only certificates issued and outstanding with respect to the shares of capital stock intended to be represented thereby; and the Pledged Securities (other than those issued by ▇▇▇) are certificated securities.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

(A) We express no opinion as to:

(i) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision in any Document signed by ▇▇▇:

(a) relating to (I) forum selection or submission to jurisdiction (including any waiver of any objection to venue in any court or that a court is an inconvenient forum) to the extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of such provision is to be considered by any court other than a court of the State of New Jersey, or (II) choice of governing law to the extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of such provision (x) is to be considered by any court other than a court of the State of New Jersey or a federal court sitting in the State of New Jersey, in each case applying the choice of law rules of the State of New Jersey, or (y) is contrary to the governing law provided in Section 1-105(2), 8-110 or 9-301 to 9-306 of the NJUCC, or (III) service of process, or (IV) waivers of any rights to trial by jury;

(d) that purports to give any person the power to accelerate obligations, foreclose on collateral or require additional collateral at will or without notice to ▇▇▇;

(f) relating to any purported waiver, release or variation of rights or other agreement to similar effect (all of the foregoing, collectively, a “Waiver”) by any Obligor under any of the Financing Documents to the extent limited by Sections 1-102(3) of the NJUCC or other provisions of applicable law (including judicial decisions), or to the extent that such a Waiver applies to a right, claim, duty, ground for discharge or release of, or defense available to, an obligor generally or as a guarantor or co-obligor or otherwise available as a matter of law (including judicial decisions), except to the extent that such a Waiver is effective under and is not prohibited by Sections 9-602 or 9-603 of the NJUCC or other applicable law (including judicial decisions);

(g) that purports to create a trust, power of attorney or other fiduciary relationship;

(h) providing for payments by ▇▇▇ in a currency other than U.S. dollars to the extent that a court will under applicable law convert a judgment rendered in such other currency into U.S. dollars;

(i) that purports to limit the ability of ▇▇▇ or any other person to transfer any of its right, title or interest in or to any collateral, to

the extent contemplated by Section 9-401 of the NJUCC or other applicable law regarding restraints on alienation;

(j) relating to third party beneficiary rights of the Note Purchasers, the Security Trustee or other persons;

(ii) the effect of any law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New Jersey wherein any party to the Financing Documents may be located or wherein enforcement of any Financing Document may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible;

(iii) the right, title or interest of ▇▇▇ (or the power of ▇▇▇ to transfer rights) in or to any collateral under the Financing Documents or any other property; whether any property constitutes a particular type of collateral under the UCC; or the validity or effectiveness for any purpose of any such collateral or any other property;

(iv) except as expressly stated in paragraphs 5 and 6 above, the creation, attachment, validity, binding effect, enforceability or perfection of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien or other encumbrance that may be created under any of the Financing Documents, or, except as stated in the second sentence of paragraph 6 above, the priority or other effect of perfection or non-perfection of any security interest created under any of the Financing Documents;

(v) the creation, attachment, validity, binding effect, enforceability, perfection, priority or other effect of perfection or non-perfection of any security interest in: (1) the proceeds of any collateral other than in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9-315 of the NJUCC, (2) goods which are accessions to, or commingled or processed with, other goods other than in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9-335 or 9-336 of the NJUCC, (3) goods which are subject to a certificate-of-title statute, (4) consumer goods, (5) commercial tort claims, (6) rights to demand payment or performance under a letter of credit, (7) commodity accounts or commodity contracts, (8) as extracted collateral, (9) farm products, (10) goods that are or are to become fixtures, (11) health care insurance receivables, (12) manufactured homes, (13) standing timber or timber to be cut, (14) cooperative apartment interests, (15) any item of collateral that is subject to restriction on or prohibition against transfer (except to the extent limited by Sections 9-401, 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the NJUCC) contained in any agreement, instrument, document or applicable law governing, evidencing or otherwise relating to such item, or (16) any obligations of the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof;

(vii) any agreement, instrument or other document referred to, or incorporated by reference, in any of the Financing Documents, other than the Financing Documents listed in this opinion letter.

(viii) MEL’s ownership of any asset included in the collateral or otherwise provided as security.

(B) Our opinions are subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (including, without limitation, standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness, equitable defenses and limits on the availability of equitable remedies), whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, and (iii) the qualification that certain provisions of the Financing Documents (other than the Notes) may be unenforceable in whole or in part, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity as against any Obligor of the Financing Documents as a whole, and the Financing Documents and the laws of the State of New Jersey contain adequate provisions for enforcing payment of the obligations governed or secured thereby, subject to the other qualifications contained in this letter.

(C) Provisions in a guarantee (or equivalent) that provide that the guarantor’s liability thereunder shall not be affected by actions or failures to act on the part of the recipient of the guarantee or by modifications or waivers of provisions of the guaranteed obligations might not be enforceable if such actions, failures to act, modifications or waivers so change the essential nature of the terms and conditions of the guaranteed obligations that, in effect, a new contract has arisen between such recipient and the primary obligor on whose behalf the guarantee was issued.

(D) We have assumed that (i) the obligations of ▇▇▇ under the Financing Documents are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of ▇▇▇; and (ii) consideration that is sufficient to support the agreements of ▇▇▇ under the Financing Documents has been received by ▇▇▇.

(E) We express no opinion as to the application of, and our opinions are subject to the effect, if any, of

(ii) any federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws or rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

(F) Pursuant to Section 9-108(c) of the NJUCC, a description of collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” or words of similar import is not sufficient for purposes of Section 9-203 of the NJUCC and, accordingly, we express no opinion regarding, or the effect of, any such description of collateral in the U.S. Security Agreement.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to laws of the State of New Jersey. No opinion is expressed with respect to any other laws (including without limitation the laws of England, Wales, the State of New York or the State of Delaware) or any effect that such other laws may have on the opinions expressed herein.

Our opinion in paragraphs 5 above are limited to the NJUCC, and our opinions in paragraph 6 above are limited to the NJUCC and, therefore, those opinions do not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than New Jersey, (ii) collateral of a type not subject to the NJUCC, and (iii) except as stated in paragraph 5 above, under the NJUCC what law governs perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral addressed by this opinion letter.

This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the opinions expressly stated herein.

To each of the Purchasers set forth

on Annex 1 hereto

Re: BA Holdings, Inc.

US$65,000,000 Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2018

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for each of the Purchasers named on Annex 1 hereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”) in connection with that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 13, 2011 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among BA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), Luxfer Holdings PLC (Registered No. 3690830), a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Parent Guarantor”), each of the parties listed in Schedule C attached thereto (collectively, the “Original Subsidiary Guarantors” and together with the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor, collectively, the “Obligors”), and the Purchasers. The Note Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, for the issuance and sale by the Issuer and the purchase by the Purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of US$65,000,000 of the Issuer’s Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2018. The Notes (as defined below) will be guaranteed by (a) ▇▇▇ Chemicals Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and Magnesium Elektron North America Inc., Luxfer Inc., ▇▇▇▇ Metals, Inc. and Reade Manufacturing Company, each a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “U.S. Guarantors”), pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and (b) the Parent Guarantor and Luxfer Group Limited, Luxfer Group 2000 Limited, Luxfer Gas Cylinders Limited, Luxfer Group Services Limited, Magnesium Elektron Limited, Luxfer Overseas Holdings Limited and Luxfer Gas Cylinders China Holdings Limited, each a limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, pursuant to separate guarantee agreements, each dated the date hereof and delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

Capitalized terms used herein, and not defined herein, have the respective meanings ascribed to them pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement. Our representation of the Purchasers has been as special counsel for the purposes stated above.

As to all matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied, with your permission, entirely upon:

(1) the representations and warranties of the Obligors and the Purchasers set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement; and

(2) certificates of public officials and of certain officers of the Obligors delivered in connection with the Closing;

and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of those representations, warranties, and certificates.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies of the following documents:

(a) the Note Purchase Agreement;

(b) the Senior Secured Notes, each dated the date hereof and due June 15, 2018, in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a) to the Note Purchase Agreement and registered in the respective names and principal amounts, and with the respective registration numbers, as set forth on Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Notes”);

(c) Officer’s Certificates executed on behalf of each Obligor, dated the date hereof and delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement, certifying as to the matters set forth therein;

(d) a certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer, dated the date hereof, annexing thereto (among other documents) and certifying as accurate and complete the incumbency of officers of the Issuer and copies of the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation, certified by the Delaware Secretary of State as of a recent date, and the Issuer’s by-laws (collectively, the “Issuer Governing Documents”) and corporate resolutions authorizing the Issuer’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (as defined below);

(e) a certificate of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or a Director (or other appropriate Person) of each U.S. Guarantor, dated the date hereof, annexing thereto (among other documents) and certifying as accurate and complete the incumbency of officers of such U.S. Guarantor and copies of such U.S. Guarantor’s certificate of incorporation, certified by the Secretary of State of the state of its incorporation as of a recent date, and such U.S. Guarantor’s by-laws (collectively, the “U.S. Guarantor Governing Documents” and together with the Issuer Governing Documents, the “Governing Documents”) and corporate resolutions authorizing such U.S. Guarantor’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (as defined below);

(f) a cross receipt evidencing receipt of funds by the Issuer and receipt of the Notes by the Purchasers (the “Cross Receipt”);

(g) the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, U.S. counsel for the Obligors, dated the date hereof and delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement;

(h) the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.C., New Jersey counsel for the Obligors, dated the date hereof and delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement; and

(i) the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ W.S., English counsel for the Obligors, dated the date hereof and delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement.

The documents referenced in clauses (a) and (b) above are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Transaction Documents.”

This opinion is based entirely on our review of the documents listed in the preceding paragraph and we have made no other documentary review or investigation for purposes of this opinion.

Based on such investigation as we have deemed appropriate the opinions referred to in clauses (g), (h) and (i) above are satisfactory in form and scope to us, and in our opinion you are justified in relying thereon.

We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, that any signature purported to be made by an attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power of attorney has been effectively made pursuant to a valid power of attorney executed by the principal, the conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form, the legal competence of each individual executing any document, and that each Obligor, and each other Person executing such documents (including, without limitation, the Transaction Documents) validly exists and is in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized, had and has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents under its governing organizational documents, applicable enterprise legislation and other applicable law, and is qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification is required generally or necessary in order for such party to enforce its rights under such documents. We have further assumed that such documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered

by each Person executing such documents and, as to Persons other than the Obligors, are binding upon and enforceable against such Persons.

For purposes of this opinion, we have made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary. Except to the extent addressed below in paragraph 6, this opinion is limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of New York as applied by courts located in the State of New York without regard to choice of law, and the federal laws of the United States of America (in each case, except for treaties and laws relating to international relations and federal and state tax, energy, utilities, national security, anti-money laundering and antitrust laws, as to which we express no opinion in this letter), and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. In particular, our opinion in paragraph 3 below is based solely on a review of the Governing Documents and not on any analysis of the internal substantive law of the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuer or any of the U.S. Guarantors, including statutes, rules or regulations or any interpretations thereof by any court, administrative body or other Governmental Authority, and we express no opinion in paragraph 3 below as to the internal substantive law of the Issuer’s or any of the U.S. Guarantors’ jurisdictions of organization. We note that the Transaction Documents contain provisions stating that they are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York (each, a “Chosen-Law Provision”). Except to the extent addressed below in paragraph 6 no opinion is given herein as to any Chosen-Law Provision, or otherwise as to the choice of law or internal substantive rules of law that any court or other tribunal may apply to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as set forth in paragraph 5 below, we express no opinions as to any securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction.

Our opinion is further subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and assumptions, all of which we understand to be acceptable to you:

(a) We have assumed without any independent investigation (i) that the execution, delivery and performance by each of the parties thereto of the Transaction Documents do not and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or result in a violation of, or constitute a default or require any consent (other than such consents as have been duly obtained) under, any organizational document of the Obligors other than the Governing Documents (including, without limitation, applicable corporate charter documents and by-laws), any order, judgment, arbitration award or stipulation, or any agreement, to which any of such parties is a party or is subject or by which any of the properties or assets of any of such parties is bound, (ii) that the statements regarding delivery and receipt of documents and funds referred to in the Cross Receipt between you and the Issuer are true and correct, and (iii) that

the Transaction Documents are a valid and binding obligation of each party thereto to the extent that laws other than those of the State of New York are relevant thereto (other than the laws of the United States of America, but only to the limited extent the same may be applicable to the Obligors and relevant to our opinions expressed below).

(b) The enforcement of any obligations of any Person under any Transaction Document or otherwise may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, marshaling or other laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors’ rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of debtors’ or guarantors’ rights); and we express no opinion as to the status under any fraudulent conveyance laws or fraudulent transfer laws of any of the obligations of any Person under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

(d) The enforcement of any of the rights of any holder of Notes may in all cases be subject to an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(e) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any particular provision of any of the Transaction Documents relating to:

(i) waivers of rights to object to jurisdiction or venue, or consents to jurisdiction or venue;

(ii) waivers of rights to (or methods of) service of process, or rights to trial by jury, or other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law;

(iii) waivers of any applicable defenses, setoffs, recoupments, or counterclaims;

(iv) exculpation or exoneration clauses, clauses relating to rights of indemnity or contribution, and clauses relating to releases or waivers of unmatured claims or rights; or

(v) waivers or variations of legal provisions or rights which are not capable of waiver or variation under applicable law.

(f) We express no opinion as to the effect of suretyship defenses, or defenses in the nature thereof, with respect to the obligations of any guarantor, joint obligor, surety, accommodation party, or other secondary obligor.

(g) Our opinion in paragraph 4 below is based solely on a review of generally applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America and not on any search with respect to, or review of, any orders, decrees, judgments or other determinations specifically applicable to any of the Obligors.

(h) We express no opinion as to the effect of events occurring, circumstances arising or changes of law becoming effective or occurring after the date hereof on the matters addressed in this opinion letter, and we assume no responsibility to inform you of additional or changed facts, or changes in law, of which we may become aware.

(i) We express no opinion as to the perfection, priority, attachment, validity or enforceability of any security interest, mortgage, or other lien or encumbrance with respect to any of the property or assets of any Obligor.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the following opinions:

1. Each of the Transaction Documents to which an Obligor is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its respective terms.

2. The execution and delivery by each Obligor of each Transaction Document to which such Obligor is a party, the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Issuer, and the performance by each Obligor of its respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to which such Obligor is a party will not constitute a violation of any law, statute, rule or regulation of the State of New York.

3. The execution and delivery by the Issuer and each U.S. Guarantor of each Transaction Document to which such Person is a party, the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Issuer, and the performance by the Issuer and each U.S. Guarantor of its respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party will not constitute a violation of its respective Governing Documents.

4. No consents, approvals or authorizations of Governmental Authorities of the State of New York or the United States of America are required under the laws of the State of New York or the United States of America on behalf of (a) any Obligor in connection with the execution and delivery by such

Obligor of each of the Transaction Documents to which such Obligor is a party, or (b) the Issuer in connection with the offer, issue, sale or delivery of the Notes by the Issuer on the date hereof, in each case under the circumstances contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

5. It is not necessary in connection with either (a) the offer and sale of the Notes delivered to you today under the circumstances contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (b) the issuance and delivery by the U.S. Guarantors of the Unconditional Guarantee set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement under the circumstances contemplated by the Transaction Documents, to register the offer and sale to you today of the Notes or the Unconditional Guarantee under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to qualify an indenture in respect of the issuance of the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

6. Each Chosen-Law Provision is enforceable in accordance with New York General Obligations Law section 5-1401, as applied by a New York State court or a federal court sitting in New York and applying New York choice of law principles.

This opinion is delivered solely to the Purchasers and for the benefit of the Purchasers in connection with the Transaction Documents and may not be relied upon by the Purchasers for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person (other than future holders of the Notes acquired in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement) for any reason without our prior written consent.

See attached

Final form subject to no change in status between signing and closing

[ ] 2011

To: the Purchasers set forth on Schedule A to this opinion

Dear Sirs,

1. Description of Transaction

We have acted as English legal advisers to each of the Purchasers named on Schedule A to this opinion (the “Purchasers”) in connection with the issuance by BA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), of US$65,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2018 pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 13, 2011 by and among the Issuer, Luxfer Holdings PLC (Registered No. 3690830), a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Parent Guarantor”), each of the parties listed in Schedule C attached thereto, and the Purchasers (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides for, among other things, the issuance of guarantees by the Parent Guarantor and Luxfer Group Limited, Luxfer Group 2000 Limited, Luxfer Gas Cylinders Limited, Luxfer Group Services Limited, Magnesium Elektron Limited, Luxfer Overseas Holdings Limited and Luxfer Gas Cylinders China Holdings Limited, each a limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (together with the Parent Guarantor, collectively, the “Obligors”), pursuant to Guarantee Agreements, each dated the date hereof and delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Financing Documents”). Unless otherwise defined in this opinion, terms defined in the Note Purchase Agreement have the same meaning when used in this opinion.

2. Scope of opinion

2.1 Documents covered by this opinion

This opinion relates to the Financing Documents.

2.2 Documents reviewed

For the purpose of issuing this opinion we have reviewed execution copies of the following documents only and we have not carried out any searches or enquiries:

(a) the Financing Documents;

(b) the Note Purchase Agreement; and

(c) the Senior Secured Notes, each dated the date hereof and due June 15, 2018, in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a) to the Note Purchase Agreement and registered in the respective names and principal amounts, and with the respective registration

numbers, as set forth on Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Notes”)

(collectively, the “Reviewed Documents”).

2.3 Scope and purpose of the opinion

This opinion is confined to matters of English law (as applied by the English courts) in force as at today’s date. We express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction or on matters of taxation in the United Kingdom.

We express no opinion as to the effect of events occurring, circumstances arising or changes of law becoming effective or occurring, after today’s date on the matters addressed in this opinion letter, and we assume no responsibility to inform you of additional or changed facts, or changes in law, of which we may become aware. This opinion is given on the basis of the assumptions set out in paragraph 3 and is subject to the qualifications set out in paragraph 5.

We provide this opinion solely for your benefit and solely for the purpose of the Financing Documents. It may not be relied on for any other purpose or by any other person, and this opinion should not be shown to anyone else without our prior written consent. However, a copy of this opinion may be provided to (and relied upon by) future holders of the Notes acquired in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, and may be delivered and disclosed to (but not relied upon by) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners of the United States of America, in each case subject to the same restrictions.

This opinion is governed by English law and any action or proceeding based on the opinion is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

3. Assumptions

For the purpose of this opinion, we have made the following assumptions. We have made no independent investigation of the accuracy of the assumptions.

3.1 That all original documents supplied to us are complete, authentic and up to date, that all copy documents supplied to us are complete and conform to the originals and that none of the Reviewed Documents have been amended or modified.

3.2 That no limit or restriction on the powers of any Obligor to borrow or guarantee will be breached by the entry into and performance by it of any of the Reviewed Documents.

3.3 That no party to a Financing Document has entered into it in consequence of bad faith or fraud, coercion, duress, misrepresentation or undue influence or on the basis of a mistake of fact or law or believing a Financing Document to be fundamentally different in substance or in kind from what it is.

3.4 That at the time the Financing Documents were entered into no party who can take the benefit of this opinion was on actual notice of any prohibition or restriction on any of the other parties to the Financing Documents entering into them (nor did any such party deliberately refrain from making enquiries in circumstances where it had any suspicion of such matters).

3.5 That no step has been taken by any person in any jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the presentation of a petition, the making of an application, the passing of a resolution or the filing or service of a notice) with a view to appointing an administrator, receiver, administrative receiver or liquidator (or the equivalent in any jurisdiction) with respect to any Obligor or any of its property or assets and that no notice of any moratorium has been issued in respect of any Obligor.

3.6 That no law other than English law and no directive or regulation or ruling of the European Commission or the European Court of Justice (save to the extent incorporated into English law) affects this opinion.

3.7 That in causing each Obligor to enter into the Financing Documents the directors of each Obligor acted in good faith and for the purpose of carrying on the relevant Obligor’s business and in the belief that entering into the document was in its own best interests. This is a matter of fact on which we express no opinion.

3.8 That none of the Obligors was unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ or any applicable analogous provision at the time it entered into the Financing Documents and none of the Obligors will as a consequence of entering into such documents become unable to pay its debts.

3.9 That the representations and warranties given by any party to any other party contained in the Note Purchase Agreement or the Financing Documents (other than representations and warranties as to the matters of law on which this opinion is given) are and will be when made or repeated or when deemed made or repeated, as the case may be, true and accurate in all respects and that such representations and warranties were at all relevant times true and accurate.

3.10 That the consent, licence, approval or authorisation of, and filings and registrations with, any person or governmental and regulatory authority or agency, which is required in relation to the execution and delivery

of the Financing Documents and the performance and observance of the terms of the Financing Documents by the parties has been obtained.

3.11 That each Obligor is a company or corporation duly organised or incorporated, as applicable, with limited liability and subsisting under the laws of its jurisdiction of organisation or incorporation and in each case has the requisite power and authority to enter into, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Financing Documents.

3.12 That all necessary corporate action has been taken to authorise the execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents by each of the parties thereto and that each such party has validly executed and delivered the Financing Documents.

3.13 That the execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents by any of the parties to the Financing Documents will not violate the provisions of any law or regulation of any jurisdiction other than England and Wales, or any judicial or official order, or its constitutional documents or any contractual obligation binding on it.

3.14 That under all applicable laws, other than English law, the submission of each Obligor to the jurisdiction of the English courts given in the Financing Documents to which it is a party is valid and binding and will be recognised and given effect by the courts of any relevant jurisdiction (other than England and Wales).

3.15 That the Note Purchase Agreement is not an agreement to which either Section 26(1) or Section 27(1) of the Financial Services and Markets ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (the “FSMA”) applies (concerning agreements made by or through unauthorised persons) and that neither the Note Purchase Agreement nor any transactions, agreements or documents contemplated thereby (including, but without limitation, the issue of the Notes) has been, or will be, entered into in the course of carrying on regulated activities in the United Kingdom in breach of Section 19 of the FSMA or in the course of or in consequence of the communication of an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity in breach of Section 21 of the FSMA (although the incorrectness of all or any of the assumptions in this paragraph 3.15 would not, per se, in our opinion, reduce or impair the rights of the Purchasers).

3.16 That any document in respect of the Note Purchase Agreement constituting the communication of an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity has only been communicated or caused to be communicated, and will only be communicated or caused to be communicated, in circumstances in which the provisions of Section 21 of the FSMA do not apply (although the incorrectness of all or any of the assumptions in this paragraph 3.16 would not, per se, in our opinion reduce or impair the rights of the Purchasers).

3.17 That any course of conduct engaged in, or any act done, for the purpose of stabilising the price of the Notes will be, or has been, engaged in or done in conformity with and as permitted by price stabilising rules made under Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2273/2003 of 22 December 2003 implementing Directive 2003/6/EC (as implemented in MAR 2 of the Financial Services Authority Handbook) (although the incorrectness of all or any of the assumptions in this paragraph 3.17 would not, per se, in our opinion reduce or impair the rights of the Purchasers).

3.18 That none of the parties to the Note Purchase Agreement has taken or will take any action in relation to the Notes (i) which constitutes an offer to the public of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC) (a “Relevant Member State” and the “Prospectus Directive” respectively), except in circumstances which do not require the publication of a prospectus; or (ii) which constitutes a request for the admission of Notes to trading on a regulated market situated or operating within a Relevant Member State. For the purposes of this paragraph 3.18, an “offer to the public of securities” and a “regulated market” each has the meaning given in the Prospectus Directive, as the same may be varied in a Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State.

3.19 That the giving of a guarantee by any guarantor of the obligations contained in the Reviewed Documents did not and will not constitute financial assistance for the purposes of any applicable law in any applicable jurisdiction.

3.20 That each of the Notes represents “loan capital” within the meaning of section 78 (Loan capital) of the Finance ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (“FA 1986”) and does not: (i) carry a right of conversion into shares or other securities, or to the acquisition of shares or other securities, including loan capital of the same description as the Notes (as such terms are interpreted for the purposes of section 79(5) FA 1986) or (ii) carry a right to interest the amount of which exceeds a reasonable commercial return on the nominal amount of the Notes or falls or has fallen to be determined to any extent by reference to the results of, or of any part of, a business or to the value of any property or (iii) carry a right on repayment to an amount which exceeds the nominal amount of the Notes and is not reasonably comparable with what is generally repayable (in respect of a similar nominal amount of capital) under the terms of issue of loan capital (as defined for the purposes of section 79(6) FA 1986) listed in the Official List of the London Stock Exchange.

3.21 That the Reviewed Documents have not been entered into in connection with money laundering or any other unlawful activity.

4. Opinion

Based upon the foregoing and subject to any matters not disclosed to us, and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that at today’s date:

4.1 Legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations

Each of the obligations expressed to be assumed by each Obligor under the Financing Documents constitutes its legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation.

4.2 Choice of law

Subject to paragraphs 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13 below, the express choice of English law as the governing law of the Financing Documents will be recognised by the English courts as a valid choice.

4.3 Submission to Jurisdiction

Subject to paragraphs 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13 below, the express submission to the jurisdiction of the English courts by each Obligor in the Financing Documents constitutes a valid submission on its behalf.

5. Qualifications

This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

5.1 The obligations of each Obligor are subject to all laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar procedures affecting generally the rights of creditors.

5.2 Notwithstanding any provision in the Financing Documents to the contrary, the terms of any agreement may be varied by oral or written agreement or by the conduct of the parties under English law and, accordingly, any such variation or variations would or could affect the effectiveness and enforceability of the Financing Documents.

5.3 Section 117 of the Stamp ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ may render unenforceable indemnities given by any party to the Financing Documents to another party in respect of United Kingdom stamp duties, if any such duties are imposed on and are payable by such other party.

5.4 We express no opinion as to any taxation matters, or the rights or remedies of any taxation authority in respect of non-payment of taxes or the failure to comply with law and regulations relating to taxation.

5.5 No opinion is expressed on matters of fact.

5.6 We express no opinion as to the validity, binding nature or enforceability in all circumstances of provisions of the Financing

Documents which require the parties to reach future agreement with each other.

5.7 The fact that any transfer of, or payment in respect of, an instrument involving (i) the government of any country which is currently the subject of the United Nations sanctions, (ii) any person or body resident in, incorporated in or constituted under the laws of any such country or exercising public functions in any such country or (iii) any person or body controlled by any of the foregoing, or by any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing, may be subject to restrictions pursuant to such sanctions as implemented by English law.

5.8 English law is protective of the rights of guarantors and similar persons (such as third party chargors) who undertake to make a payment if a principal debtor fails to make a payment. A guarantee creates a secondary obligation which is dependent on the validity and enforceability of the principal debtor’s primary obligation. The invalidity of or inability to enforce the primary obligation for any reason, or any alteration to that obligation, or any failure to take or the release of or any alteration to security held from the principal debtor or any other person (including other guarantors or third party chargors) are events which can mean that the obligation of a guarantor (or third party chargor) is discharged. For this reason, guarantees and third party charges governed by English law contain extensive creditor protection wording which is designed to ensure that in so far as possible, the guarantor or third party chargor remains liable despite any such invalidity, inability to enforce or change. The Financing Documents contain creditor protection wording. Whilst such wording should be adequate to protect the holders of the Notes in most circumstances of this type, it is possible that events could happen or collateral agreements or understandings be breached which would deprive the holders of the Notes of the benefit of the relevant secondary obligation.

5.9 The term “enforceable”, as used in this opinion, means that the obligations assumed by each Obligor under the Financing Documents are of the type which are capable of being enforced by an English court and not that they will necessarily be enforced exactly in accordance with their terms. Certain rights and obligations may be qualified by doctrines of good faith, general principles of equity, the limits on the availability of equitable remedies and other matters. In particular:

(a) an English court will not necessarily grant any remedy the availability of which is subject to equitable considerations or which is otherwise in the discretion of the court or which is incompatible with the Human Rights ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. In particular, orders for forfeiture, specific performance and injunctions are, in general, discretionary remedies under English law and specific performance is not usually available where damages

are considered by the court to be an adequate alternative remedy;

(b) where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside England and Wales, they may not be enforceable in England and Wales to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws or contrary to the exchange control regulations of that jurisdiction;

(c) the enforcement of the obligations of the parties to the Financing Documents may be limited by the provisions of English law applicable to agreements held to have been frustrated by events happening after their execution;

(d) failure to exercise a right may result in its waiver;

(e) a determination, designation, calculation or certificate by any party to the Financing Documents or exercise of a discretion under or pursuant to the Financing Documents by any party to it might, in certain circumstances, be held by an English court not to be final, conclusive and binding (if, for example, it could be shown to have been made arbitrarily or in bad faith, dishonestly, for an improper purpose, capriciously, or in a way that no reasonable person, acting reasonably, would act in the circumstances) notwithstanding the provisions of the Financing Documents;

(f) any provision of the Financing Documents providing for the payment of additional moneys consequent upon the breach of any provision, whether expressed by way of penalty, additional interest, liquidated damages or otherwise, would be unenforceable if such provision were held to be penal in nature and not a genuine and reasonable pre-estimate of the loss likely to be suffered as a result of the breach in question. Should an English court decide that any such provision is penal in nature, the party which is the beneficiary of that provision would not be able to enforce the relevant provision and would only be able to recover damages in respect of any loss suffered by the beneficiary according to normal common law rules;

(g) under English law, the ability of any party to recover costs in respect of any proceedings in an English court, or to recover interest after judgment on any sum awarded in a judgment of an English court, is limited by law and the rules of procedure as applied by the English courts;

(h) in some circumstances an English court will not give effect to a provision which provides that, in the event of any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of a document, the remaining provisions of the document will not be affected

or impaired, particularly if to do so would not accord with public policy or would require that the court make a new contract for the parties;

(i) claims may become barred under the Limitation Acts (as amended) or may be or become subject to the defences of set-off or counterclaim;

(j) an English court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere and may decline to accept jurisdiction in certain cases;

(k) an English court may refuse to give effect to any provision of the Financing Documents:

(i) which relates to a payment being made without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction; or

(ii) for the payment of expenses in respect of the costs of enforcement (actual or contemplated) or of unsuccessful litigation brought before an English court or where the court has itself made an order for costs; or

(iii) which would involve the enforcement of foreign revenue or penal laws; or

(iv) which would be inconsistent with English public policy;

(l) the effectiveness of terms exculpating a party from a liability or duty otherwise owed are limited by law. The provisions requiring a party to indemnify another for legal costs may not be enforced by an English court if contrary to an order made by the court. Any indemnity obligations imposed by the Financing Documents may not be enforceable insofar as they relate to fines and penalties arising out of matters of civil or criminal liability or matters against public policy;

(m) an English court can give judgments in a currency other than sterling but only if, and to the extent that, the other currency is a currency which most truly expresses the claimant’s loss; and

(n) an English court may regard a provision on deemed notification
or any other provision which deems something to have been done as ineffective to the extent that it is established as a matter of fact that such notification was not effected or that thing not done.

5.10 Any provisions of the Financing Documents providing for the payment by a party of any amount (including interest) on overdue sums or any other amount payable in the event of a breach of any Financing Document may constitute a penalty and be irrecoverable.

5.11 Each of:

(a) the Rome Convention (as defined in the Contracts (Applicable Law) Act 1990) (the “Rome Convention”); and

(b) Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (the “Rome I Regulation”); and

(c) Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (the “Rome II Regulation”, together with the Rome I Regulation, the “Rome Regulations”),

has the force of law in the United Kingdom. Article 3 of each of the Rome Convention and the Rome I Regulation and Article 14 of the Rome II Regulation provides that a contract shall be governed by the law chosen by the parties. Although the express choice of English law as the governing law of the Documents is a choice of law within the terms of Article 3 of each of the Rome Convention and the Rome I Regulation and Article 14 of the Rome II Regulation, each of the Rome Convention and the Rome Regulations provides for circumstances where Article 3 or Article 14, as applicable, will not be applicable or will be overridden. To the extent that an express election as to choice of law is not made with respect to non-contractual obligations, Article 4(1) of the Rome II Regulation provides that the applicable law arising out of a tort or civil wrong will be the law of the country in which the damage occurs. There are exceptions to this general rule relating to the residence of the parties, the circumstances of the tort or civil wrong being connected to a specific country, rules against unjust enrichment, acts performed without due authority and dealings prior to the conclusion of the contract.

5.12 An English court has power to decline jurisdiction and/or stay or strike out proceedings brought before it in certain circumstances, including where there are concurrent proceedings in another jurisdiction, and must decline jurisdiction in relation to insolvency proceedings if so required by the terms of the EU Council Regulation (EU) No. 1346/2000.

5.13 An English court will assume jurisdiction to hear a case and give judgment against a defendant only on the basis of personal service, and where the defendant cannot be served the English courts will not assume jurisdiction and we express no opinion in this regard. If any party to a Financing Document not having a place of business in

England and Wales fails to maintain an agent for service of process in England and Wales, it may be necessary to initiate any legal proceedings in England and Wales against such party by serving the defendant outside the jurisdiction, for which purpose the leave of the court (as to which the court has a discretion) may have to be obtained.

Yours faithfully

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am pleased to confirm the agreement in principle of one or move affiliates or managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”), subject to the following conditions, to purchase up to $75,000,000 principal amount of Senior Notes (the “Notes”) of BA Holdings Inc. and Luxfer Holdings Plc (the “Parent”) (together, with the entities included in the attached term sheet, the “Company”). The principal terms of the agreement for the Notes would be as provided in the attached term sheet, subject to final negotiation of terms (as finally agreed to, the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Prudential’s agreement in principle will expire on 15 June 2011, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parent and Prudential.

Consummation of the sale and purchase of the Notes by Prudential would be subject to these conditions:

(a) The Investment Committee of Prudential’s Board of Directors (directly or pursuant to delegation of its authority) has authorized such purchase,

(b) The Parent and Prudential have agreed on the final form of Note Purchase Agreement, Notes, legal opinions and the other documents required for the proposed financing,

(c) Prudential has completed its due diligence, including an investigation of the financial condition, business, and prospects of the Parent and its subsidiaries and is satisfied with the results, and

(d) Prudential is satisfied that no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has occurred.

Following the Parent’s acceptance of this proposal, the Company plans to fix the coupon on the Notes (the “coupon”). Once the coupon is fixed, should the financing not close in a timely manner, the Parent may have to pay one or both of the fees described in Exhibit A.

Pursuant to the previously executed fee letter, we have retained the law firm of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP as our special counsel in this financing. We understand that the fees, charges and disbursements of our special counsel will be paid by the Parent pursuant to the existing fee letter, whether or not the proposed financing closes.

If these terms are acceptable to the Parent, please sign the enclosed copy of this letter and return it to me by 25 March 2011.

I look forward to receiving your signed letter and to working with you on the proposed transaction.

		Very truly yours,

Accepted and agreed to:

LUXFER HOLDINGS PLC

By:
	Title:
	GROUP FINANCE DIRECTOR

Exhibit A:

Delayed Delivery Fee

The Delayed Delivery Fee would be due if the coupon is fixed and the financing is not canceled or closed within ten weeks (the “Targeted Closing Date”). The Delayed Delivery Fee represents the loss in yield to Prudential from receiving the coupon later than the Targeted Closing Date (calculated on a per day basis) and would be calculated each time the proposed closing date is extended. This fee must be paid on the date the transaction closes or is cancelled.

To calculate the Delayed Delivery Fee, Prudential would:

Step 1. determine the semi-annual yield of the Notes;

Step 2. determine the yield of an alternative US Dollar short-term investment of the highest quality of its choice over the expected period of delay;

Step 3. subtract the short-term yield (Step 2) from the Note yield (Step 1);

Step 4. multiply that amount (Step 3) by the number of days from the Targeted Closing Date to the date this financing closes or is canceled;

Step 6. multiply that amount (Step 5) by the dollar amount of the Notes on which the coupon was fixed.

Cancellation Fee

The Cancellation Fee could be due if the coupon is fixed and the financing is cancelled for any reason. The Cancellation Fee represents the effect of an increase in the purchase price of a U.S. Treasury Note comparable in duration to the Notes after the coupon was fixed. This fee must be paid on the date the transaction is cancelled.

To calculate the Cancellation Fee, Prudential would:

Step 1. determine the bid price of a U.S. Treasury Note with a duration closest to that of the Notes, on the date the coupon was fixed;

Step 2. determine the ask price of the same Treasury Note on the date the financing is canceled;

Step 3. subtract the bid price (Step 1) from the ask price (Step 2). If the difference is a negative number, no Cancellation Fee would be due. If the difference is a positive number, then Prudential would -

Step 4. divide the price increase (Step 3) by the bid price (Step 1); and

Step 5. multiply that amount (Step 4) by the dollar amount of the Notes which the coupon was fixed.

To determine the price of the Treasury Notes, Prudential will use the prices reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or, if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not available, any other commercially acceptable and publicly available source of similar market data regularly and customarily referenced in similar circumstances. We will also round the price to two decimal places.

In calculating both the Delayed Delivery Fee and Cancellation Fee, the transaction will be considered “canceled” on 15 June 2011 (or such later day we may agree in writing) or on any prior day on which the Parent or the Company has told Prudential in writing it no longer wishes to pursue the proposed financing.
