4. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Selling Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from each Selling Shareholder, at a purchase price of $67.71 per share, that number of Offered Securities (subject to adjustment by the Representative to eliminate fractions) obtained by multiplying the number of Offered Securities set forth opposite the name of such Selling Shareholder in Schedule A-1 hereto, in the case of a Selling Shareholder, in each case by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Offered Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A-2 hereto and the denominator of which is the total number of Offered Securities.

The Selling Shareholders will deliver the Offered Securities to or as instructed by the Representative for the accounts of the several Underwriters in a form reasonably acceptable to the Representative against payment of the purchase price by the Underwriters in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to the brokerage accounts specified by the Selling Shareholders and acceptable to the Representative that have so delivered the Offered Securities on behalf of the Selling Shareholders, at the office of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ at 10:00 A.M., New York time, on August 6, 2013, or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Representative and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”.

(a) Filing of Prospectuses. The Company will timely file the Final Prospectus pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b). The Company will advise the Representative promptly of any such filing pursuant to Rule 424(b). The Company has complied and will comply with Rule 433.

(b) Filing of Amendments; Response to Commission Requests. The Company will promptly advise the Representative of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or any Statutory Prospectus at any time and will not effect such amendment or supplement without the Representative’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), except that such consent shall not be required if, in the written opinion of outside counsel to the Company, such amendment or supplement is required by law; the Company will also advise the Representative promptly of (i) the filing of any such amendment or supplement, (ii) any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment to the Registration Statement, for any supplement to any Statutory Prospectus or for any additional information, (iii) the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or the threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Securities in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(c) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 would be) required to be delivered under the Act by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify the Representative of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and the dealers and any other dealers upon request of the Representative, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the Representative’s consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof.

(d) Rule 158. As soon as practicable, but not later than the Availability Date, the Company will make generally available to its shareholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “Availability Date” means the day after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter that includes such Effective Time on which the Company is required to file its Form 10-Q for such fiscal quarter except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter on which the Company is required to file its Form 10-K.

(e) Furnishing of Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Representative copies of the Registration Statement (of which will be signed), including all exhibits, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representative reasonably requests. The Final Prospectus shall be so furnished on or prior to 5:30 P.M., New York time, on the business day following the later of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Effective Time of the Registration Statement. All other such documents shall be so furnished as soon as available. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.

(f) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will arrange to obtain the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as the Representative reasonably requests and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the resale of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Offered Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(g) Reporting Requirements. During the period of two years hereafter, the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other Underwriters, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its annual report to shareholders for such year; and the Company will furnish to the Representative (i) as soon as publicly available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to shareholders, and (ii) from time to time, such other information concerning the Company as the Representative may reasonably request. However, so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is timely filing reports with the Commission on ▇▇▇▇▇, it is not required to furnish such reports or statements to the Underwriters.

(h) Payment of Expenses. The Company and each Selling Shareholder will pay all expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company and such Selling

Shareholder, as the case may be, under this Agreement, including but not limited to (i) all such expenses incident to the sale and delivery of the Offered Securities (including all printing and engraving costs, if any), (ii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities by the Selling Shareholders to the Underwriters or the resale and delivery of such Offered Securities by the Underwriters as contemplated in the Final Prospectus, (iii) all such fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel, independent public or certified public accountants and other advisors, (iv) all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing, filing, shipping and distribution of the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (including financial statements and exhibits, as applicable), and all amendments and supplements thereto and the Offered Securities, (v) all filing fees, such attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Company or the Underwriters in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the Offered Securities for offer and sale under the securities laws of the several states of the United States, the provinces of Canada or other jurisdictions designated by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 5(f) hereof (including, without limitation, the cost of preparing, printing and mailing preliminary and final blue sky or legal investment memoranda and any related supplements to the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus), (vi) any filing fees incident to, and such fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters in connection with the review by FINRA, if any, of the terms of the sale of the Offered Securities, (vii) all such fees and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel) of the Company in connection with the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, (viii) fees and expenses incident to listing the Offered Securities on the New York Stock Exchange and (ix) all reasonable and documented marketing and “road show” expenses except 50% of the cost of a chartered aircraft; provided that if the Closing Date never occurs, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for their costs and expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees, its selling agent and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter, director, officer, employee, selling agent or controlling person may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company or is otherwise permitted in Section 9(e) hereof), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee, selling agent or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such director, officer, employee, selling agent or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply, with respect to an Underwriter, to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the following information in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information related to stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids contained in the sixth and seventh paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting”. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of Underwriters by the Selling Shareholders. Each of the Selling Shareholders, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees, its selling agent and each person, if any, who controls any

Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter, director, officer, employee, selling agent or controlling person may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company or is otherwise permitted in Section 9(e) hereof), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee, selling agent or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such director, officer, employee, selling agent or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that each Selling Shareholder will only be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Selling Shareholder specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following information in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Selling Shareholder: the statements relating to such Selling Shareholder in the table and accompanying footnotes under the caption “Selling Shareholders”; provided further, however, that the liability under this subsection of each Selling Shareholder shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before expenses, received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of the Offered Securities sold by such Selling Shareholders hereunder.

(c) Indemnification of the Company and the Selling Shareholders. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Shareholder and each of its directors, officers who signs a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such Selling Shareholder within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter or is otherwise permitted in Section 9(e) hereof), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing

Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein; and to reimburse such Underwriter Indemnified Party for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Underwriters through the Representative have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Final Prospectus are the statements described in Section 9(a) above. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(c) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(d) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9 except to the extent it is materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) as a result of such failure and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties (such counsel to be selected by the Representative in the case of Sections 9(a) and 9(f) hereof); provided, further, that the Company shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Underwriters and controlling persons, which firm shall be selected by the Representative. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses 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 next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel (in each jurisdiction)) representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have

employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(e) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 9 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, 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 against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 9, the 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 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days before such settlement is entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(f) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the relevant Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement 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 and the relevant Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and each Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement (after deducting discounts and commissions to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by such Selling Shareholder bear to the total purchase discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company and each Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a

material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and such Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or inaccuracy.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in this Section 9 with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9(f); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under this Section 9 for purposes of indemnification.

The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(f) 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 which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9(f).

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(f), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which 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 of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9(f) are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A-2. For purposes of this Section 9(f), each director, officer, selling agent and employee of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director and officer of the Company or Selling Shareholders, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholders within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Selling Shareholders.

10. Non-Recourse and Non-Petition Obligations with Respect to Apollo Credit and Stone Tower. Notwithstanding Sections 9(b) and 9(c) hereof, each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, and Apollo Credit and Stone Tower, severally and not jointly, hereby acknowledge and agree that the obligations between the Underwriters and Apollo Credit and Stone Tower will be solely the corporate obligations of each such party. Neither Apollo Credit nor Stone Tower will have any recourse to any of the directors, officers, employees or selling agent of any Underwriter or any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses, as incurred in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby. No Underwriter will have any recourse to any of the directors, or officers of either Apollo Credit or Stone Tower, or any person who controls either Apollo Credit or Stone Tower within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act, with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses, as incurred, in connection with any

transactions contemplated hereby. The Underwriters acknowledge and agree that the obligations of each of Apollo Credit and Stone Tower under this Agreement are limited in recourse to their respective collateral assets and, following exhaustion of such collateral assets, any claims of the Underwriters hereunder against Apollo Credit or Stone Tower shall be extinguished and shall not revive. The Underwriters agree not to file, or join in the filing of, a petition against Apollo Credit or Stone Tower under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation or other similar law, or otherwise join in the commencement of any proceeding under any such laws, until the date that is at least one year and one day or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all outstanding debt securities of Apollo Credit or Stone Tower. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Termination of This Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or materially limited by the Commission, (ii) trading in securities generally on either the NASDAQ Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such quotation system or stock exchange by the Commission or FINRA; (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of the federal or New York authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Offered Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the General Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (v) in the judgment of the Representative there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (vi) the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representative may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured. Any termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company to any Underwriter, except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Underwriters pursuant to Sections 5(h) and 8 hereof, (b) any Underwriter to the Company, or (c) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

12. Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and its officers, the Selling Shareholders and the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company, any Selling Shareholder or any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

13. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or facsimiled and confirmed to the parties hereto as follows:

The term “successors” shall not include any purchaser of the Offered Securities as such from any of the Underwriters merely by reason of such purchase.

14. Authority of the Representative. Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters, and any such action taken by the Representative shall be binding upon the Underwriters.

If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

16. Governing Law Provisions. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

(a) Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for suits, actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”) as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth

above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company has irrevocably appointed National Corporate Research, Ltd. (“NCR”), located at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any Related Proceeding that may be instituted in any Specified Court. Service of any process, summons, notice or document sent to NCR in any manner permitted by applicable law shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

(b) Waiver of Immunity. With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect to any Related Judgment, each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or Related Judgment, including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended.

(c) Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than U.S. dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Company in respect of any sum due from it to any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by such Underwriter of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Underwriter may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter against such loss. If the U.S. dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder, such Underwriter agrees to pay to the Company (but without duplication) an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder.

17. [RESERVED]

18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities

pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Offered Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction among the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the several Underwriters, and the Company and the Selling Shareholders are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Selling Shareholders or their respective affiliates, shareholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Selling Shareholders with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Shareholders on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company and the Selling Shareholders except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Shareholders and that the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Selling Shareholders have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

19. Taxes. All payments to be made by the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders under this Agreement (including, for purposes of this provision, to any relevant extent, the difference between the purchase price paid by the Underwriters for the Offered Securities and the offering price of the Offered Securities) shall be paid free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies or imposts by The Netherlands or the United Kingdom or by any department, agency or other political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required by law to be deducted or withheld in connection with such payments, the Company or the Selling Shareholders, as the case may be, will increase the amount paid so that the full amount of such payment is received by the Underwriters. All fees and amounts payable by the Company and/or a Selling Shareholder to the Underwriters under this Agreement are exclusive of any value added tax or any similar taxes (“VAT”). If the transactions described in this Agreement are subject to VAT, the Selling Shareholders, severally and not jointly, will pay the Underwriters the applicable VAT.

20. General Provisions. 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. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. 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 section headings herein are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

The Company and the Selling Shareholders hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company and the Selling Shareholders may have against the several Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty with respect to transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SCHEDULE C-1

Form of Opinion of De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V.

1.1	The Company has been incorporated and exists as a limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap).

1.2

(a)

The Company has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.

(b)

The Company has taken all necessary corporate action to authorise its entry into and performance of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.

(c)

The Company has validly signed the Underwriting Agreement.

1.3

(a)

The Company does not require any licence, dispensation, recognition or other governmental consent for its entry into and performance of the Underwriting Agreement.

(b)

There are no registration, filing or similar governmental formalities required to ensure the validity, binding effect on and enforceability against the Company of the Underwriting Agreement.

1.4	The entry into and performance of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement by the Company does not violate Dutch law or its articles of association.

1.5	The Company is neither entitled to immunity from legal proceedings nor are its assets immune from execution.

1.6	The choice of New York Law as the governing law of the Underwriting Agreement is recognised and accordingly that law governs the validity, binding effect on and enforceability against each Company of the Underwriting Agreement.

1.7

(a)

The Offered Securities have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

(b)

Any statutory pre-emptive rights of the Company’s shareholders in relation to the issue of the Offered Securities have been validly excluded.

In proceedings in a New York Court, New York Law determines the validity, binding effect on and enforceability against each Company of the Jurisdiction Clause included in the Underwriting Agreement.

A judgment rendered by a New York Court will not be recognised and enforced by the Dutch courts. However, if a person has obtained a final and conclusive judgment for the payment of money rendered by a New York Court which is enforceable in New York and files his claim with the competent Dutch court, the Dutch court will generally give binding effect to the judgment insofar as it finds that (i) the jurisdiction of the New York Court has been based on grounds which are internationally acceptable, (ii) proper legal procedures have been observed, and (iii) the judgment does not contravene Dutch public policy.

1.10

SCHEDULE C-2

Form of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ L.L.P. Opinion

1. The Underwriting Agreement, assuming its due authorization, and further assuming its due execution and delivery by the Company insofar as such matters are governed by Dutch law, has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

2. The statements set forth under the heading “Certain Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Final Prospectus and in the General Disclosure Package, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain federal income tax laws of the United States, constitute accurate summaries of the provisions of such statutes, rules and regulations and legal conclusions thereunder in all material respects, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.

3. The sale of the Offered Securities to the Underwriters by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement does not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder in accordance with its terms will not (i) require any consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority of the United States of America or the State of New York (other than such as may be required under United States federal securities laws, any state securities or blue sky laws or the rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, as to which we express no opinion), (ii) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the agreements of the Company identified in Exhibit A hereto or (iii) result in a violation of any United States federal or New York State law or published rule or regulation (other than state securities or blue sky laws and anti-fraud laws, orders, rules and regulations, as to which we express no opinion), except in the case of clause (ii) and (iii) for such breaches, conflicts or violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Change.

4. No registration of the Company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, is required for the offer and sale of the Offered Securities by the Selling Shareholders in the manner contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Final Prospectus.

We have reviewed the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus and have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, with representatives of the Selling Shareholders and their counsel, with representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and with your representatives and your counsel, at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and related matters were discussed. The purpose of our

C-2-1

professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, and we have not undertaken to verify independently any of the factual matters in such documents. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature. Accordingly, we are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (except to the extent stated in paragraph 2 above). Subject to the foregoing and on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, we advise you that nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that:

(1)

the Registration Statement, as of the latest Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(2)

the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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; or

(3)

the Final Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date hereof, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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;

it being understood that in each case we have not been asked to, and do not, express any belief with respect to (a) the financial statements and schedules or other financial, accounting or statistical information contained or included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom or (b) representations and warranties and other statements of fact contained in the exhibits to the Registration Statement or to documents incorporated by reference therein.

The opinions set forth above are limited in all respects to matters of the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law of the United States, each as in effect on the date hereof. We have relied as to matters of Dutch law upon the opinion of De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V. furnished to you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

Such counsel’s opinion shall also be subject to other qualifications as reasonably agreed to between such counsel and the Representative.

SCHEDULE C-3

Form of LyondellBasell In-House Opinion

1. Each of the Significant Subsidiaries organized under the laws of a U.S. jurisdiction has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with power and authority (corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership) under such laws to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in each of them, and has been duly qualified for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties, or conducts any business, so as to require such qualification, other than where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Change; and all the outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of each such Significant Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and (except (i) any Liens permitted under the indentures dated as of April 9, 2012, November 14, 2011 and July 16, 2013, relating to the Company’s 5% Senior Notes due 2019 and 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024; the Company’s 6.0% Senior Notes due 2021; and the 4.000% Guaranteed Notes due 2023 and 5.250% Guaranteed Notes due 2043 issued by LYB International Finance B.V. and guaranteed by the Company, respectively, and (ii) as otherwise set forth in the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in each of them) are owned, directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of all consensual liens, encumbrances, equities and similar claims.

2. Other than as set forth or contemplated in the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in each of them, to the best of my knowledge, there are no legal or governmental investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened or contemplated against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or may be a party or to which any property of the Company or its subsidiaries is or may be the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or its subsidiaries, could individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

3. I do not know of any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that would be required by the Act to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus that are not so disclosed (including by way of incorporation by reference).

4. To the best of my knowledge, the Company is not, and with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would not be, in violation of or in default under any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, except in the case of for violations and defaults which, individually and in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

5. The sale of the Offered Securities to the Underwriters by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement does not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement will not, (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default

C-3-1

under, any agreement or instrument known to me 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 its subsidiaries is subject, (b) result in a violation of any applicable law or statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, or (c) result in the imposition or creation of (or the obligation to create or impose) a Lien under any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or its property is bound; except where the conflict, breach, default, violation, or the imposition or creation of a Lien would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, and in the case of (b) where I express no opinion with respect to state securities laws or the antifraud provisions of the United States securities laws.

6. Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in each of them, (a) the Company, and, to the best of my knowledge, each subsidiary of the Company, owns, possesses or has obtained all licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and has made all declarations and filings with, all federal, state, local and other governmental authorities (including foreign regulatory agencies), all self-regulatory organizations and all courts and other tribunals, domestic or foreign, necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and to carry on its business as conducted as of the date hereof except such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; (b) to the best of my knowledge, none of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has received any actual notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such license, permit, certificate, consent, order, approval or other authorization which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; and (c) to the best of my knowledge, each of the Company and its subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws and regulations relating to the conduct of its business as conducted as of the date hereof, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

7. The Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, as of their respective effective or issue times, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act, except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from either of them, as to which we express no opinion.

8. Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, to the best of my knowledge, there are no persons with registration or other similar rights to have any equity or debt securities registered for sale under the Registration Statement or included in the offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, other than the Selling Shareholders, except for such rights as have been duly waived.

In addition, I have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, and persons under my direction or control have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, with representatives of the Selling Shareholders and their counsel, representatives of the independent accountants of the Company, with your representatives and your counsel at which conferences the contents of the General

C-3-2

Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, portions of certain of the documents incorporated by reference in each of them and related matters were discussed. Although I did not independently verify such information and am not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in each of them, on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality, to the extent I deem reasonable, upon officers and other representatives of the Company), no facts have come to my attention to lead me to believe that (a) the General Disclosure Package, including the documents incorporated by reference therein (other than the financial statements, the notes thereto and the auditor’s reports thereon, management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and the other financial and accounting data contained therein or omitted therefrom), at the time of execution of the Underwriting Agreement, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (b) the Final Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein (other than the financial statements, the notes thereto and the auditor’s reports thereon, management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and the other financial and accounting data contained therein or omitted therefrom), as of the date thereof or the Closing Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

SCHEDULE D-1

Form of Akin Gump Opinion, U.S. Counsel to the Selling Shareholders

1. With respect to each Selling Shareholder, the sale of the Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder under the Underwriting Agreement and the compliance by such Selling Shareholder with all of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement with respect to such Shares will not violate Applicable Law or any judgment, order or decree of any United States Federal or New York State court known to such counsel (it being understood that the knowledge of such counsel will be limited to the information specified by such Selling Shareholder in a certificate to such counsel). For purposes of this letter, the term “Applicable Law” means the Federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York, in each case as currently in effect, that in such counsel’s experience are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, except that “Applicable Law” does not include the antifraud provisions of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction or any state securities, the rules and regulations of FINRA, Blue Sky laws of the various States, fraudulent conveyance or transfer laws or tax laws, without regard to the particular nature of the business conducted by any Selling Shareholder.

2. With respect to each Selling Shareholder, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made (other than as required by any state securities laws, the rules and regulations of FINRA or the antifraud provisions of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction or any state securities laws, as to which we express no opinion) is required under any Applicable Law for the performance by such Selling Shareholder of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement in connection with the Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder thereunder. For purposes of this letter, the term “Governmental Authorities” means any United States Federal or New York State court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Selling Shareholder.

3. Assuming each Underwriter acquires its interest in the Offered Securities under the Underwriting Agreement in good faith without notice of any adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at the date of this letter (the “NY-UCC”)) with respect to the Offered Securities, (i) each Underwriter that has purchased the Offered Securities delivered on the date hereof to The Depository Trust Company (assuming The Depository Trust Company is a clearing corporation within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(5) of the NY-UCC) or other securities intermediary (assuming such other securities intermediary is a securities intermediary within the meaning of Section 8-102(14) of the NY-UCC) by making payment therefor as provided in the Underwriting Agreement, and that has had the Offered Securities credited by book entry to the securities account or accounts (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the NY-UCC, assuming that the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the NY-UCC) for the securities account or accounts is the State of New York) of such Underwriter maintained by The Depository Trust Company or such other securities intermediary will have acquired a security entitlement (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY-UCC) to such Offered Securities purchased by such Underwriter and (ii) no action based on an adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(1) and Section 8-502 of the NY-UCC) may be asserted against such Underwriter with respect to such Offered Securities.

SCHEDULE D-2

Form of Walkers Opinion, Cayman Islands Counsel to the Selling Shareholders

Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, and under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we give the following opinions in relation to the matters set out below.

1.	The Partnership is an exempted limited partnership duly formed, registered and validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is in good standing with the Registrar of Exempted Limited Partnerships in the Cayman Islands.

2.	Based solely upon our review of the Partnership Records (as defined in Schedule 1) the general partner of the Partnership is the Company.

3.	The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated with limited liability, validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is in good standing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

4.	The Company has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Document and to perform its obligations under the Document on its own account and as general partner of the Partnership, as provided in the Partnership Agreement (as defined in Schedule 1).

The Document has been duly authorised and executed by the Company on its own account and/or as general partner of the Partnership (as the case may be) and when delivered by the Company in such capacities, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and/or the Partnership (as the case may be) enforceable in accordance with its terms.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Document by the Company, on its own account or as general partner of the Partnership (as the case may be) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the compliance by the Company and the Partnership with the terms and provisions thereof do not:

(a)

contravene any law, public rule or regulation of the Cayman Islands applicable to the Company or the Partnership which is currently in force;

(b)

contravene the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company; or

(c)

contravene the Partnership Agreement.

Neither:

(a)

the execution, delivery or performance of the Document; nor

(b)

the consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company or the Partnership,

D-2-1

(c)

requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any Cayman Islands governmental or judicial authority or agency.

The law of New York chosen in the Document to govern its interpretation would be upheld as a valid choice of law in any action on that Document in the courts of the Cayman Islands (the “Courts” and each a “Court”) and the Courts will observe and give effect to the choice of the law of New York as the governing law of the Document.

9.	A judgment obtained in a court of New York will be recognised and enforced in the Courts without any re-examination of the merits at common law, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Grand Court”), where the judgment:

(a)

is final and conclusive;

(b)

is one in respect of which the foreign court had jurisdiction over the defendant according to Cayman Islands conflict of law rules;

(c)

is either for a liquidated sum not in respect of penalties or taxes or a fine or similar fiscal or revenue obligations or, in certain circumstances, for in personam non-money relief (following Bandone Sdn Bhd v Sol Properties Inc. [2008] CILR 301); and

(d)

was neither obtained in a manner, nor is of a kind enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.

This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

SCHEDULE D-3

Form of Loyens and Loeff, Avocats à la Cour Opinion, Luxembourg Counsel to the Selling Shareholders

Based upon the assumptions made above and subject to the qualifications set out below and any matter not disclosed to us, we are of the following opinion:

1.1

Status

Each Company is a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée), incorporated and validly existing under Luxembourg law for an unlimited duration.

1.2	Corporate power and authority

Each of the Companies (i) has the corporate power to execute the Underwriting Agreement and to perform the obligations expressed to be assumed by it thereunder and (ii) has taken all corporate action necessary to authorise the execution and performance of the Underwriting Agreement.

1.3	Due execution

The Companies have duly executed the Underwriting Agreement.

1.4	No conflict with laws

The execution by the Companies of the Underwriting Agreement does not result in any violation of (i) the Articles or (ii) the Luxembourg law on commercial companies dated August 10, 1915, as amended (the Law on Commercial Companies).

1.5

Consents

The execution by the Companies of the Underwriting Agreement does not require any authorisation or approval from, action by, notice to or filing with, any government, administration or other authority or court in Luxembourg.

1.6	Stamp duty

No stamp or registration duty, or similar taxes or charges are payable in Luxembourg in connection with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement.

1.7	No immunity

The Companies are not entitled in Luxembourg to claim immunity from jurisdiction or execution with respect to any action or proceedings brought in connection with its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.

D-3-1

1.8	Choice of law

The choice of the law of the State of New York as the law governing the Underwriting Agreement will be upheld as a valid choice of law by the courts of Luxembourg.

1.9	Submission to jurisdiction

The submission to jurisdiction by the Companies contained in the Underwriting Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable on the Companies.

1.10	Enforcement of judgments

A final and conclusive judgment in respect of the Underwriting Agreement obtained against the Companies in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or courts of the State of New York would be recognised and enforced by Luxembourg courts subject to the applicable enforcement procedure (exequatur).

Pursuant to Luxembourg case law, the granting of exequatur is subject to the following requirements:

(a) the foreign court order must be enforceable in the country of origin,

(b) the court of origin must have had jurisdiction both according to its own laws and to the Luxembourg conflict of jurisdictions rules,

Form of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Selling Shareholder Opinion, Caymans Counsel to Apollo Credit

Funding I Ltd. and Stone Tower CDO II Ltd.

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1.1	The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

1.2	The Company has all requisite capacity, power and authority under the Memorandum and Articles to enter into, execute and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.

1.3

The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement does not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement will not, conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of the Memorandum and Articles or any law, public rule or regulation applicable to the Company currently in force in the Cayman Islands.

1.4

The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement has been authorised by and on behalf of the Company and, upon the execution and unconditional delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by a director of the Company for and on behalf of the Company, the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company.

1.5	No authorisations, consents, approvals, licences, validations or exemptions are required by law from any governmental authorities or agencies or other official bodies in the Cayman Islands in connection with:

(a)

the execution, creation or delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by and on behalf of the Company;

(b)

subject to the payment of the appropriate stamp duty, enforcement of the Underwriting Agreement against the Company; or

(c)

the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.

1.6	It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Underwriting Agreement that any document be filed, recorded or enrolled with any governmental authority or agency or any official body in the Cayman Islands.

1.7	The courts of the Cayman Islands will observe and give effect to the choice of the Relevant Law as the governing law of the Underwriting Agreement.

1.8

Although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the Relevant Jurisdiction, a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognised and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment:

D-4-1

(a)

is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction;

(b)

imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given;

(c)

is final;

(d)

is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; and

(e)

was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

2.1	The courts of the Cayman Islands will not observe and give effect to a choice of the laws of a particular jurisdiction as the governing law of a document if to do so would be contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

We express no view as to the commercial terms of the Underwriting Agreement or whether such terms represent the intentions of the parties and make no comment with regard to the warranties or representations that may be made by the Company.

This opinion letter is addressed to and is for the benefit solely of the addressees and may not be relied upon by any other person for any purpose, nor may it be transmitted or disclosed (in whole or in part) to any other person without our prior written consent.
