condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations,
whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of
the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one entity or Parent and its
subsidiaries (any such change is called a “Material Adverse Change”); (ii)

its properties and to conduct its business as described in the CIM as of its
date, and to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Company
Parties is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited
liability company, as applicable, to transact business and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason
of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where
the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have
a material adverse effect on the financial position, stockholders’ equity,
results of operations or business of the Company or Parent (a “Material Adverse
Effect”). All of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other
equity or ownership interest of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has been duly
authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and nonassessable and is owned by
the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security

its subsidiaries presented on a consolidated basis in the CIM under the caption
“Capitalization” under the column “Actual” is a fair summary of such
capitalization in all material respects. All the outstanding shares

preemptive or subscription rights. There are no options, calls,
warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, or conversion, preemptive,
subscription or other rights, or agreements, arrangements or commitments, in any
such case, obligating or which may obligate the Company to issue, sell,
purchase, return or redeem any shares of its capital stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of its capital stock, other than
as described in the CIM. There are no shares of any capital stock of
the Company reserved for issuance, other than as described in the

decree applicable to any of the Company Parties except with respect to clauses
(ii) and (iii) of this sentence, for such Defaults or violations as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company Parties’ execution, delivery and performance of
the Transaction Documents to which they are a party and the consummation of the
Transactions, including the issuance and sale of the Securities, (x) will not
result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or bylaws of any of the
Company Parties, (y) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or

charge, encumbrance or adverse claim upon any property or assets of any of the
Company Parties pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to any
Existing Instrument or any other third party and (z) will not result in any
violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court
decree applicable to any of the Company Parties except with respect to clauses

respect to the Notes by the end of such period due to a failure by the Company
to use its best efforts to cause such a rating, including by delaying its
response(s) to any request for information or similar requests by one or both of
the Ratings Agencies, then the cash component of the interest on the Notes shall
be increased by 50 basis points during the period commencing on the date that is

|
INDEMNIFICATION.
|
(a) In
consideration of the Purchasers’ execution and delivery of the Purchase
Documents and the issuance of the Notes under the Indenture and the issuance of
the Shares, and acquiring the Securities hereunder and in addition to all of the
other obligations of the Company Parties under this Agreement, the Company
Parties, jointly and severally, shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchasers and the Purchasers’ stockholders, partners, members,
officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the
foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives, including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (each, an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”), as
incurred, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims,
losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company in the Purchase Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the CIM (or any amendment or
supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any
breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of a Company Party contained in
the Purchase Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby.
13
(b) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 8 of notice
of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental investigation), such Indemnitee will, if a claim for
indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Company Parties,
notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to
so notify will not relieve the Company Parties from any liability which they may
have to any Indemnitee to the extent they are not materially prejudiced as a
result thereof. In case any such action or proceeding is brought
against any Indemnitee, and it notifies the Company of the commencement thereof,
the Company will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it
may elect, by written notice delivered to such Indemnitee promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnitee, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the
defendants (including any impleaded parties) in any such action include both the
Indemnitee and the Company or another Company Party and the Indemnitee shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
and/or other Indemnitees which are different from or additional to those
available to the Company Parties, the Indemnitee or Indemnitees shall have the
right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such
Indemnitee or Indemnitees. Upon receipt of notice from the Company to
such Indemnitee of its election to so appoint counsel to defend such action and
approval by the Indemnitee of such counsel, the Company Parties will not be
liable to such Indemnitee under this Section 8 for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection
with the defense thereof unless: (i) the Indemnitee shall have employed separate
counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being
understood, however, that the Company Parties shall not be liable for the
expense of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel),
approved by the Indemnitee representing the Indemnitees who are parties to such
action); (ii) the Company shall not have employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable
time after notice or commencement of the action; (iii) the Company has
authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee at the expense of the
Company; or (iv) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent the
Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest.
(c) The
Company Parties will not without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees,
settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
Indemnitees are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or
proceeding and does not include an admission of guilt of, or failure to act by,
the Indemnitee, or include any injunctive relief against any
Indemnitee. Neither the Company nor any other Company Party shall be
liable for any settlement, compromise or the consent to the entry of judgment in
connection with any such action effected without its written consent, but if
settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such action other than a judgment entered with the consent of
such Indemnitee, then the Company Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless any
Indemnitee from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement
or judgment.
(d) Each
Indemnitee shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in
question as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be
reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation
arising therefrom.
(e) In order
to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification
provided for in this Section 8 is for any
reason held to be unavailable from the indemnifying Company Party, or is
insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee under this Section 8, each
Company Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee
as a result of such aggregate losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by each Company Party, on the one hand,
and each Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the Transactions, or
(ii) if such allocation 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 each Indemnitee, on the one
hand, and each Company Party, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties 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 Party or such
Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged
statement or omission.
14
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 8 are
intended solely for the benefit of the Indemnitees and not for the benefit of,
nor may any provision hereby be enforced by, any other Person; provided that
Indemnitees are expressly made third party beneficiaries of this Section
8.
(g) The
obligations of the Company Parties shall survive and continue to be in full
force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for a period
of two years from the Termination Date.

process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
any right it may have, and agrees not to request, a jury trial for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection with or arising out of
this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.
15
(c) Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party shall
assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any party other than an
Affiliate without the prior written consent of the other party.
(d) Survival. The
representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in Sections 2 and 3, respectively, and
the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4 and 8
shall survive the Closing. The agreements and covenants set forth in
Section 8 shall
survive for a period of two years from the Closing Date (or, if this Agreement
is terminated prior to Closing, two years from the Termination
Date).
(e) Headings. The
headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
(f) Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to
find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the
same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or
restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention
of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter
declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(g) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of
the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all
contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to
the subject matter hereof, other than the Work Letter and any commitment letter
between a Purchaser and a Company Party relating to the
Transactions.
(h) Amendment. This
Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties
hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived
in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit. The
failure by any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or
otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not
operate as a waiver thereof. Any amendment to this Agreement made in
conformity with the provisions of this Section 8(h) shall be
binding on the Purchasers and all holders of the Securities purchased under this
Agreement, as applicable.
(i) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
provided, that a
facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon
the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an
original, not a facsimile signature.
(j) Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Agreement, this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
(l) Remedies. Any Person
having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce
such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security or proving
actual damages), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of
this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.

express an opinion) has been duly incorporated or formed and is validly existing
in good standing as a corporation or limited liability company under the laws of
the state of Delaware with the requisite corporate or limited liability company
power and authority, as the case may be, to own or lease its properties and to
conduct its business as described in the CIM in each case in all material
respects.

the Company and the Guarantors (other than the Parent, as to which we do not
express an opinion) has the requisite corporate or limited liability company
power and authority to issue, sell and deliver the Notes, in accordance with and
upon the terms and conditions set forth in, and to otherwise perform its
respective obligations under, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Indenture (collectively the “Purchase
Documents”).
3. Each of
the Purchase Documents has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by each of the Company and the Guarantors (other than the Parent, as
to which we do not express an opinion).
4. The
Indenture, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the
Parent and the Trustee, is a valid and legally binding agreement of each of the
Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against each of the Company and the
Guarantors in accordance with its terms; provided that the enforceability
thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in effect
affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of
equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing.
5. The
Notes, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Purchasers pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, will constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable
obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture; provided
that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from
time to time in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing.
6. When the
Indenture has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by each
of the Guarantors (assuming due and valid authorization, execution and delivery
by the Parent under the laws of Bermuda, as to which we do not express an
opinion) and the Notes have been duly and validly issued in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by
the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, the Guarantees will constitute,
legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Guarantors entitled to
the benefits of the Indenture; provided that the enforceability thereof may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in effect affecting
creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
7. The Notes

8. The
execution and delivery of the Purchase Documents by the Company and the
Guarantors, the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of their
respective obligations thereunder, including the issuance and sale of the
Securities and the Guarantees, (i) will not result in any violation of the
provisions of the charter, by-laws or equivalent constituent documents of the
Company or any Guarantor (other than the Parent, as to which we do not express
an opinion); (ii) will not constitute a breach of, or default or a Debt
Repayment Triggering Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any
security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or adverse claim
upon any property or assets of Parent, the Company or any Guarantor, pursuant to
any material Existing Instrument listed or identified on the annexed schedule
furnished to us by the Company, and which the Company has represented lists all
material agreements and instruments to which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is subject; (iii) will not result in any violation of any federal
or New York law or, to the best knowledge of such counsel any federal or New
York administrative regulation or administrative or court decree, applicable to
Parent, the Company or any of the subsidiaries of the Company; and (v) will not
require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration
(provided no opinion is given with respect to federal or state securities laws),
or filing with, any court or other federal or New York governmental or
regulatory authority or agency, except (i) with respect to the transaction
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and may be required under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) as required by federal or state
securities or “blue sky” laws, and (iii) for such consents, approvals,
authorizations, orders, filings or registrations which have been obtained or
made.
