The Company also proposes to issue to the several Underwriters not more than an additional [ ] of its common shares, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Additional Shares”), if and to the extent that you, as managers of the offering, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to subscribe for such common shares granted to the Underwriters in Section 2 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The common shares, nominal value $0.01 per share, of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock.”

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement, including a prospectus, relating to the Shares. The registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the Shares, as amended at the time it becomes effective, including all exhibits thereto and the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement;” the prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of Shares (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement.

For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement together with the documents and pricing information set forth in Schedule II hereto, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person.

(e) Not to take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

(f) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Shares at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective subscribers or purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus is delivered to a prospective subscriber or purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(g) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Shares as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a subscriber or purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a subscriber or purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(h) To endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer, issuance and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject, or (iv) prepare a prospectus in accordance with Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended.

LLC, (collectively, the “Representatives”) on behalf of the Underwriters (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the consent of each Representative has been requested), it will not, during the period ending 180 days after the date of the Prospectus, (1) offer, pledge, issue, sell, contract to issue or sell, issue or sell any option or contract to subscribe or purchase, subscribe for or purchase any option or contract to issue or sell, grant any option, right or warrant to subscribe or purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to (a) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (b) shares of Common Stock issued or transferred in connection with the reorganization transactions as contemplated by the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, (c) the issuance by the Company of options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day restricted period, the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, unless such extension is not required in accordance with the criteria set forth in the next sentence, or a majority of the Representatives otherwise determine not to require the extension (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a determination by each Representative has been requested), in either case, as expressly confirmed by a majority of the Representatives to the Company (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the confirmation of each Representative has been requested). The extension referred to in this paragraph will not be required if the following conditions (as determined by a majority of the Representatives in their sole discretion, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a determination by each Representative has been requested), are met at the time the extension would otherwise apply: (i) the Company meets the applicable requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 139 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 139”), (ii) the Common Shares are “actively traded securities” within the meaning of Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (iii) the publication or distribution of research reports with respect to the Company by each of Goldman, Sachs, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Nomura Securities

International, Inc. and UBS Securities LLC satisfies the requirements of Rule 139. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that notice to the Company by a majority of the Representatives in respect of any extension required under this paragraph will be deemed to also constitute notice to, and to have been received by, the undersigned. The Company shall promptly notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Sachs & Co., ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC, of any earnings release, news or event that may give rise to an extension of the initial 180-day restricted period.

If a majority of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Sachs & Co., ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC, in their sole discretion, agree to release or waive the restrictions set forth in a lock-up letter described in Section 5(f) hereof for an officer or director of the Company and provides the Company with notice of the impending release or waiver at least three business days before the effective date of the release or waiver, the Company agrees to announce the impending release or waiver by a press release substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver, except where the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of securities that is not for consideration and where the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same lockup agreement terms in place for the transferor.

7. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter, or which would require the Company to prepare a prospectus in accordance with Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended.

8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or

caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from any liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct

the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to appropriate local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Underwriters in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 8 or the Company in the case of paragraph (b) of this Section 8, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by any indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(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 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have subscribed for hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters 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 Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and

effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

9. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this Section 9, makes it, in your judgment impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, issuance, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to subscribe for Shares that it has or they have agreed to subscribe for hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to subscribe for is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be subscribed for on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to subscribe for the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to subscribe for on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to subscribe for pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to subscribe for Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be subscribed for on such date, and arrangements

satisfactory to you and the Company for the subscription of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to subscribe for Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be subscribed for on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to subscribe for the Additional Shares to be issued on such Option Closing Date or (ii) subscribe for not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to subscribe for in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, other than pursuant to Sections 9(i), (iii), (iv) or (v), or this Section 10, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Sachs & Co. (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇”), ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC (“▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇”) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇” and together with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Sachs and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the “Representatives”) propose to enter into (i) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Common Shares Underwriting Agreement”) with Intelsat S.A., a société anonyme existing under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Common Shares Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including Goldman, Sachs, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Underwriters”), of [ ] common shares, nominal value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”) and (ii) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Series A Preferred Shares Underwriting Agreement,” and together with the Common Shares Underwriting Agreement, the “Underwriting Agreements”) with the Company, providing for the public offering (the “Series A Preferred Shares Public Offering,” and together with the Common Shares Public Offering, the “Public Offerings”) by the several Underwriters of [ ] Series A mandatory convertible junior non-voting preferred shares, nominal value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Shares”).

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offerings to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offerings, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of a majority of

Provided that such transfers are not voluntarily reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission and no other public announcement of such transfers is required to be or is voluntarily made, by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to Common Shares, Series A Preferred Shares or other securities acquired [(i)] in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offerings [or (ii) as a result of a distribution after the completion of the Public Offerings from another party who is subject to a lock-up letter substantially similar to this letter; provided that prior to such distribution the undersigned signs and delivers a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter that is applicable to such Common Shares, Series A Preferred Shares or other securities acquired as a result of such distribution]1, (b) transfers of Common Shares, Series A Preferred Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or Series A Preferred Shares (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) to any beneficiary of the undersigned pursuant to a will, other testamentary document or applicable laws of descent, (iii) to an immediate family member or trust for the benefit of an immediate family member (for purposes of this letter, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin), or (iv) to a limited liability company or partnership wholly-owned by the undersigned; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this clause (b), each donee, beneficiary or transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter prior to such transfer or distribution; provided, further, that any such transfer shall not involve a distribution for value, (c) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the transfer of Common Shares or Series A Preferred Shares; provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of

Common Shares or Series A Preferred Shares during the restricted period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan shall be required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company, (d) the withholding of any Common Shares or Series A Preferred Shares of the undersigned by the Company to pay any portion of the exercise price, or to satisfy any withholding tax obligations of the undersigned, in connection with the exercise or vesting of any restricted shares, restricted share units, options or other share-based awards of the Company pursuant to the Company’s compensation plans, in each case on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or (e) transfers of Common Shares, Series A Preferred Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or Series A Preferred Shares, in each case in an amount in the aggregate not to exceed 1.0% of the Common Shares (in the case of transfers of Common Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares) and 1.0% of the Series A Preferred Shares (in the case of transfers of Series A Preferred Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Series A Preferred Shares) beneficially owned by the undersigned as of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreements, to charitable organizations in connection with bona fide donations to such charitable organization made in good faith (it being understood that in the event that a donee, distributee or other transferee of the undersigned is required to sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter, the 1.0% amount referenced in this clause (e) shall apply to the undersigned and all donees, distributees or other transferees of the undersigned in the aggregate). In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, such entity (and its transferees or distributees) may transfer or distribute Common Shares, Series A Preferred Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or Series A Preferred Shares to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such entity or to the partners, members, stockholders or affiliates of such entity, or to a charitable or family trust; provided that each donee, transferee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter prior to such transfer or distribution. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of a majority of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the consent of each Representative has been requested), it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the date of the Prospectuses, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Common Shares, any Series A Preferred Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or Series A Preferred Shares, except for such demands or exercises that will not require any filing or other public disclosure to be made in connection therewith until the expiration of the restricted period. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the

transfer of the undersigned’s Common Shares and Series A Preferred Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this letter agreement shall not apply to any transfer in connection with, and as contemplated by, the reorganization transactions described in the preliminary prospectus included in the Company’s registration statement at the time of its effectiveness.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the Representatives agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Common Shares or Series A Preferred Shares, the Representatives will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreements to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by a majority of the Representatives hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer that is not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

If:

(1) during the last 17 days of the restricted period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or

(2) prior to the expiration of the restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period;

the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18 day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, unless such extension is not required in accordance with the criteria set forth in the next sentence, or a majority of the Representatives otherwise determine not to require the extension (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a determination by each Representative has been requested), in either case, as expressly confirmed by a majority of the Representatives to the Company (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the confirmation of each Representative has been requested). The extension referred to in this paragraph will not be required if the following conditions (as determined by a majority of the Representatives in their sole discretion, (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a determination by each Representative has been

requested)), are met at the time the extension would otherwise apply: (i) the Company meets the applicable requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 139 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 139”), (ii) (a) solely with respect to the Common Shares, the Common Shares are “actively traded securities” within the meaning of Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (b) solely with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares, the Series A Preferred Shares are “actively traded securities” within the meaning of Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and (iii) the publication or distribution of research reports with respect to the Company by each of Goldman, Sachs, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Nomura Securities International, Inc. and UBS Securities LLC satisfies the requirements of Rule 139. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that notice to the Company by a majority of the Representatives in respect of any extension required under this paragraph will be deemed to also constitute notice to, and to have been received by, the undersigned.

[Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall restrict [Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, Incorporated] and its affiliates (except for [CSFB Strategic Partners Holdings III, L.P./Banc of America Capital Investors V, L.P.]), from engaging in any activities, including brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, principal investing and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of business.]²

The undersigned shall not engage in any transaction that may be restricted by this agreement during the 34-day period beginning on the last day of the initial restricted period unless the undersigned requests and receives prior written confirmation from the Company or Goldman, Sachs, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that the restrictions imposed by this agreement have expired.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offerings. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This letter shall lapse and become null and void if the Common Shares Public Offering shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 2013 or earlier if the Company has provided written notice to the Underwriters prior to the date of the Common Shares Underwriting Agreement that it has determined not to pursue the Common Shares Public Offering.

²	To be included in lock-ups for affiliates of Credit Suisse and Bank of America only.

Whether or not the Public Offerings actually occur depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
