Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

Cameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to you (the “Initial Purchasers”) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Firm Notes”). In addition, the Company proposes to grant to the Initial Purchasers the option to purchase from the Company up to an additional $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Additional Notes”). The Firm Notes and the Additional Notes are herein collectively sometimes referred to as the “Notes”.

The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be entered into at or prior to the “time of purchase” (as defined herein), between the Company and SunTrust Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be convertible in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture into cash and, if applicable, shares of the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”).

The Notes and the Shares will be offered by the Company without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”).

The Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect transferees will be entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into at or prior to the time of purchase between the Company and the Initial Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

The Company has furnished to you, for use by you in connection with the offering of the Notes, copies of a preliminary offering memorandum (the “Preliminary Memorandum”), and the Company will, on or before the second business day after the date hereof, prepare and furnish to you, for use by you in connection with the offering of the Notes, a final offering memorandum (the “Final Memorandum” and, with the Preliminary

Memorandum, each a “Memorandum”), each of which Memoranda includes or will include, among other things, a description of the terms of the Notes and the Shares, the terms of the offering and a description of the Company. Any reference herein to the Preliminary Memorandum, Final Memorandum or Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference, or deemed to be incorporated by reference, therein (the “Incorporated Documents”), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the any Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) on or after the date of such Memorandum and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

As used in this Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for trading. The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereinafter” and similar terms, as used in this Agreement, shall in each case refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph, sentence or other subdivision of this Agreement. The term “or,” as used herein, is not exclusive.

This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes and the Indenture are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “Operative Documents.”

The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree as follows:

1. Sale and Purchase: Upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the other terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the respective Initial Purchasers and each of the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company, the aggregate principal amount of Firm Notes set forth opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser in Schedule A attached hereto in each case at a purchase price of 98.375% of the principal amount thereof.

In addition, the Company hereby grants to the several Initial Purchasers the option (the “Manager’s Option”) to purchase from time to time, and upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company, ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of Firm Notes to be purchased by each of them, all or a portion of the Additional Notes, at a purchase price of 98.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, from the “time of purchase” (as hereinafter defined) to the “additional time of purchase” (as hereinafter defined), such accrued interest to be calculated in the same manner and at the same rate at which interest accrues on the Notes in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture. The Manager’s Option may be exercised by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. Incorporated (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”) on behalf of the several Initial Purchasers at any time and from time to time on or before the thirtieth day following the date of the Final Memorandum by written notice to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate principal amount of

Additional Notes as to which the Manager’s Option is being exercised and the date and time when the Additional Notes are to be delivered (any such date and time being herein referred to as an “additional time of purchase”); provided, however, that no additional time of purchase shall be earlier than the “time of purchase” (as defined below) nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the Manager’s Option shall have been exercised nor later than the tenth business day after the date on which the Manager’s Option shall have been exercised. The principal amount of Additional Notes to be sold to each Initial Purchaser shall be the principal amount which bears the same proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes being purchased as the principal amount of Firm Notes set forth opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser on Schedule A hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Notes, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 9 hereof.

2. Payment and Delivery: Payment of the purchase price for the Firm Notes shall be made to the Company by Federal Funds wire transfer, against delivery of the Firm Notes to you through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the respective accounts of the Initial Purchasers. Such payment and delivery shall be made at 9:00 A.M., central standard time, on May 26, 2006 (unless another time shall be agreed to by you and the Company or unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof). The time at which such payment and delivery are to be made is hereinafter sometimes called the “time of purchase.” Electronic transfer of the Firm Notes shall be made to you at the time of purchase in such names and in such denominations as you shall specify.

Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Notes shall be made at the additional time of purchase in the same manner and at the same office and time of day as the payment for the Firm Notes. Electronic transfer of the Additional Notes shall be made to you at the additional time of purchase in such names and in such denominations as you shall specify.

For the purpose of expediting the checking of the certificates for the Notes by you, the Company agrees to make such certificates available to you for such purpose at least one full business day preceding the time of purchase or the additional time of purchase, as the case may be.

Deliveries of the documents described in Section 7 hereof with respect to the purchase of the Notes shall be made at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ L.L.P. at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, at 8:00 A.M., central standard time, on the date of the closing of the purchase of the Firm Notes or the Additional Notes, as the case may be.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company: The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each of the Initial Purchasers that:

(a) At no time during the period that begins on the date of the Preliminary Memorandum and ends at the time of purchase did or will the Preliminary Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented and when taken together with the Term Sheet, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; at no time during the period that begins

on the date of the Final Memorandum and ends at the later of the time of purchase, the latest additional time of purchase, if any, and the last time at which the Final Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, is delivered in connection with an initial resale of any Notes by any Initial Purchaser will the Final Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation or warranty in this Section 3(a) with respect to any statement contained in either Memorandum in reliance upon and in conformity with information concerning an Initial Purchaser and furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the Company expressly for use in such Memorandum; each Incorporated Document, at the time such document was filed, or will be filed, with the Commission or at the time such document became or becomes effective, as applicable, complied or will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Exchange Act and did not or will not, as applicable, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The “Term Sheet” means the term sheet attached as Exhibit D hereto.

(b) Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Company has not, directly or indirectly, offered or sold any Notes by means of, or used, in connection with the offer or sale of the Notes, any material or communication that would, assuming the Notes were to be offered publicly, constitute a “prospectus” (within the meaning of the Act), in each case other than the Preliminary Memorandum.

(c) All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, including Common Stock, of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws and were not issued in violation of any statutory or contractual preemptive rights, resale rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights.

All shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Principal Subsidiaries that are owned of record directly by the Company or indirectly by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company are owned free and clear of any lien, security interest, pledge, charge, encumbrance, mortgage, equity, claim or adverse interest of any nature (each a “Lien”); none of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of any such Principal Subsidiary was issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights or the charter or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or such Principal Subsidiary or any agreement to which the Company or such Principal Subsidiary is a party.

(i) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by the Company and when executed and delivered by the Company and duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Initial Purchasers will be a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, and will entitle the holders of the Notes to the benefits thereof and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity and (ii) rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by applicable law.

(m) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Operative Documents, including the consummation of the offer and sale of the Notes, does not or will not violate, conflict with or constitute a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a default under (or an event that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), or require consent under, or result in the creation or imposition of a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property or assets of the Company or any Principal Subsidiary or an acceleration of any indebtedness of the Company or any Principal Subsidiary pursuant to, (i) the charter, bylaws or other constitutive documents of the Company or any Principal Subsidiary, (ii) any Agreements and Instruments, (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective assets or properties or (iv) any judgment, order or decree of any domestic or foreign court or governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective assets or properties, except as, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iv), would not, either individually or in the aggregate, (A) have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) interfere with or adversely affect the issuance of the Notes in any jurisdiction or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any of the Operative Documents.

Adverse Effect or (B) interfere with or adversely affect the issuance of the Notes in any jurisdiction or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any of the Operative Documents.

(o) Except as described in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, (i) no person has any preemptive rights or similar rights to purchase any shares of Common Stock or shares of any other capital stock or other equity interests of the Company, whether as a result of the sale of the Notes as contemplated hereby or otherwise, and (ii) no person has the right to act as an initial purchaser or as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes.

(q) Except as described in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, the Company and each Principal Subsidiary (i) is in compliance with, or not subject to costs or liabilities under, any and all local, state, provincial, federal and foreign laws, regulations, rules of common law, orders and decrees, as in effect as of the date hereof, and any present judgments and injunctions issued or promulgated thereunder relating to pollution or protection of public and employee health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants applicable to it or its business or operations or ownership or use of its property (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) possesses all permits, licenses or other approvals required under applicable Environmental Laws, and is in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or other approval, and (iii) except as set forth in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, has not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation

For purposes of this provision, the terms “hazardous substances” and “solid wastes” shall have the meanings specified in any applicable Environmental Laws.

(r) Except as otherwise set forth in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum or such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Company and its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all property (real and personal) described or incorporated by reference into the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum as being owned by it, free and clear of all Liens, except Liens for taxes not yet due and payable and Liens described in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum.

(s) The Company and each subsidiary has filed on a timely basis all necessary federal, state, local and foreign income, franchise and other tax returns (other than returns being contested in good faith or as to which the failure to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect) and have paid all taxes shown thereon as due (other than those being contested in good faith or which are currently payable without penalty or interest), and the Company has no knowledge of any tax deficiency which has been or might be asserted against the Company or any subsidiary except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect; all material tax liabilities are adequately provided for within the financial statements of the Company in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

(u) The Company and each of the Principal Subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of its financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for its assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Since December 31, 2005, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect the Company’s or any Principal Subsidiary’s internal controls over financial reporting.

(v) The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 was being prepared; (ii) have been evaluated for effectiveness as of the end of the periods covered by the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005; and (iii) are effective to perform the functions for which they were established.

(w) Based on the evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and other than as has been disclosed to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company, the Company is not aware of (i) any significant deficiency in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or any material weaknesses in internal controls; or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the internal controls of the Company.

There are no claims by the Company or any of its subsidiaries under any such policy

or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, except in each case as set forth in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum.

(y) Since December 31, 2005, except as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, (i) none of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has (A) incurred any liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, that would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) entered into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business, (ii) there has been no material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the business, properties, management, condition (financial or otherwise), earnings or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (iii) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock except in a manner consistent with past practices.

(z) None of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or any agent thereof acting on their behalf other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation) has taken, and none of them will take (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation), any action that would cause this Agreement or the issuance or sale of the Notes to violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or analogous foreign laws and regulations, in each case as in effect, or as the same may hereafter be in effect, at the time of purchase of the Notes.

(cc) Except as described in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company or any subsidiaries and any other entity other than the Initial Purchasers that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company, any of its subsidiaries or the Initial Purchasers for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the issuance, purchase and sale of the Notes.

(dd) Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Company and its subsidiaries has fulfilled its obligations, if any, under the minimum funding standards of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each “plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and such regulations and published interpretations) in which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate and each such plan is in compliance with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and such regulations and published interpretations. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its subsidiaries have not incurred any unpaid liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than for the payment of premiums in the ordinary course) or to any such plan under Title IV of ERISA.

(ee) No labor problem or dispute with any of the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or is threatened or imminent, nor is the Company aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its or its subsidiaries principal suppliers, contractors or customers, that could have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum.

(hh) When the Notes are issued pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes will not be of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A) as securities that are listed on a national securities exchange registered pursuant to Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.

(h) The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement in the manner specified in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum under the caption “Use of Proceeds.”

(n) The Company will not, at any time at or after the execution of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, offer or sell any Notes by means of, or use, in connection with the offer or sale of the Notes, any material or communication that would, assuming the Notes were to be offered publicly, constitute a “prospectus” (within the meaning of the Securities Act), in each case other than the Final Memorandum.

(o) During the period after the time of purchase or the additional time of purchase, if later, the Company will not, and will not permit Affiliates, to resell any of the Notes or the Shares which constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

be, in their capacities as such, to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation, the provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act.

6. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses: If the Firm Notes are not delivered for any reason other than the termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause (iii), (v) or (vi) of Section 8(b) or Section 9(e) hereof or the default by one or more of the Initial Purchasers in its or their respective obligations hereunder, the Company shall, in addition to paying the amounts described in Section 5(k) hereof, reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their counsel.

(f) At the time of purchase or the additional time of purchase, as the case may be, neither the Preliminary Memorandum, when taken together with the Term Sheet, nor the Final Memorandum, and no amendment or supplement to either Memorandum, shall include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) Between the time of execution of this Agreement and the time of purchase, or an additional time of purchase, as the case may be, there shall not have occurred or become known any material and unfavorable change, financial or otherwise, in the business, properties, management, conditions, business prospects or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum.

8. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination: This Agreement shall become effective when the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement.

The obligations of the several Initial Purchasers hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at any time prior to the time of purchase or an additional time of purchase, as the case may be, if prior to such time (i) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in any material respect any agreement on its part to be performed under this Agreement when and as required, (ii) any other condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement to be fulfilled by the Company pursuant to Section 7 is not fulfilled when and as required in any material respect, (iii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or limitations or minimum prices shall have been established on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, (iv) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on the New York Stock Exchange has occurred, (v) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared either by the United States or New York State authorities, or if there has been a material disruption in securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (vi) the United States shall have declared war in accordance with its constitutional processes or there shall have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or terrorism or other national or international calamity or crisis of such magnitude in its effect on the financial markets of the United States as, in the judgment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum.

If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 8, the Company shall be notified as provided for herein.

If the sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Notes, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Initial Purchasers for any reason permitted under this Agreement or if such sale is not carried out because the Company shall be unable to comply and does not comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 5(k), 6 and 10 hereof), and the Initial Purchasers shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

9. Increase in Initial Purchasers’ Commitments: Subject to Sections 7 and 8 hereof, if any Initial Purchaser shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Notes to be purchased by it hereunder at the time of purchase or an additional time of purchase (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 8 hereof) (the “Defaulted Notes”) and if the aggregate principal amount of the Defaulted Notes which all Initial Purchasers so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for at such time does not exceed 10% of the total aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased at such time, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers (including the Initial Purchasers, if any, substituted in the manner set forth below) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate principal amount of Notes they are obligated to purchase at such time pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Notes agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Initial Purchasers at such time, as hereinafter provided. Such Defaulted Notes shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, acting severally and not jointly, in such amount or amounts as you may designate with the consent of each Initial Purchaser so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Notes shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting Initial Purchasers pro rata in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Notes set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule A.

Without relieving any defaulting Initial Purchaser from its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers that it will not sell any Firm Notes hereunder unless all of the Firm Notes are purchased by the Initial Purchasers (or by substituted Initial Purchasers selected by you with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with your approval). Without relieving any defaulting Initial Purchaser from its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers that it will not sell any Additional Notes hereunder at an additional time of purchase unless all of the Additional Notes to be purchased by the Initial Purchasers at such additional time of purchase (as set forth in the related written notice referred to in the second paragraph of Section 1 hereof) are purchased by the Initial Purchasers (or by substituted Initial Purchasers selected by you with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with your approval).

If a new Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers are substituted by the Initial Purchasers or by the Company for a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or you shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary changes in the Final Memorandum and other documents may be effected.

The term “Initial Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Initial Purchaser substituted under this Section 9 with like effect as if such substituted Initial Purchaser had originally been named in Schedule A hereto.

If the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase at the time of purchase or an

additional time of purchase, as the case may be, exceeds 10% of the total aggregate principal amount of Notes which all Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase hereunder at such time, and if neither the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers nor the Company shall make arrangements within the five business day period stated above for the purchase of all the Firm Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase hereunder at such time, this Agreement, or, in the case of a default with respect to any Additional Notes, the obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase, and of the Company to sell, the Additional Notes that otherwise were to be purchased by the Initial Purchasers at such additional time of purchase, shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability with respect thereto on the part of the Company to any Initial Purchaser and without any liability with respect thereto on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to the Company; provided, however, that, for avoidance of doubt, in the case of such a termination on account of a default with respect to any Additional Notes, this Agreement shall not terminate as to the Firm Notes or any Additional Notes purchased by the Initial Purchasers from the Company pursuant hereto prior to such termination. Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

10. Indemnity and Contribution:

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its partners, directors and officers, and any person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all the foregoing persons (each, an “Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party”) from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, any such Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Memorandum as amended or supplemented, if applicable, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Memorandum relying upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser to the Company expressly for use with reference to such Initial Purchaser or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in such Memorandum or necessary to make such statements not misleading.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all the foregoing

persons (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser to the Company expressly for use with reference to such Initial Purchaser or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in such Memorandum or necessary to make such statements not misleading.

(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 10, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party or otherwise, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced in any material respect by such omission to so notify. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or such Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such Proceeding within 30 days of the receipt of notice thereof or such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded upon written advice of counsel that there may be defenses available to it that are different from, additional to, or in conflict with those available to such Indemnifying Party (in which case such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct that portion of the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, but such Indemnifying Party may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party), in any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by such Indemnifying Party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings together with reasonably necessary local counsel representing the Indemnified Parties who are parties to such Proceeding). An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with the written consent of such Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against any loss or

liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then such Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall have given such Indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10 in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of the Initial Purchasers’ discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(e) The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes resold by it in the initial placement of such were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damage which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The notes will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness Cameron may incur to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
