B. The Existing Notes were issued in exchange for previously outstanding notes of the Company in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Each Holder is the beneficial owner of Existing Notes in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such Holder’s name beside the item “Existing Notes Principal Amount” on the Schedule of Holders (the “Schedule of Holders”) attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Original Principal Amount”).

C. The Company and the Participating Holders desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, on the Closing Date (as defined below), each Holder shall exchange Existing Notes in a principal amount equal to the Original Principal Amount for such Holder for newly-issued 8% senior notes due December 2018 issued by the Company (the “New Notes”) and guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by the Guarantors in the principal amount set forth beside the item “New Notes Principal Amount” opposite such Holder’s name on the Schedule of Holders (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Principal Amount”), . Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount exchanged, a Holder will be entitled to receive $1,083 in principal amount of New Notes (the “Exchange Rate”).

D. The New Notes will be issued under and governed by an indenture, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Company, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, Tower and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “New Indenture”). Under the New Indenture, the New Notes shall be convertible into Tower Common Stock (defined below) at an initial conversion rate equal to $1,000 divided by the greater of (i) $9.00 and (ii) (A) 120% of the Average Closing Price if such price is less than $9.00, (B) 115% of the Average Closing Price if such price is greater than or equal $9.00 and less than $12.00 and (C) 110% of the Average Closing Price if such price is greater than or equal to $12.00.

E. On the date hereof, the Company is also entering into a Note Purchase Agreement with certain of the Participating Holders pursuant to which such Participating Holders will agree to purchase, and the Company will agree to issue and sell, New Notes for cash contemporaneous with the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) agrees that a final action in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other lawful manner;

(c) designates as its domicile, the domicile of the Company specified above and any domicile the Company may have in the future as its domicile to receive any notice hereunder (including any service of process);

(d) agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of all such instruments and documents, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment in full force and effect for so long as the New Notes remain outstanding and convertible for Underlying Tower Shares, or until the designation and irrevocable appointment of a successor authorized agent and such successor’s acceptance of such appointment;

(e) agrees that if for any reason the Company (or any successor agent for this purpose) shall cease to act as agent for service of process as provided above or shall no longer have a domicile in the United States of America, Tower will promptly appoint a successor agent for this purpose reasonably acceptable to the trustee under the New Indenture; and

(f) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of the Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Tower in any jurisdiction.

If Tower has or may hereafter acquire sovereign immunity or any other immunity from jurisdiction or legal process or from the attachment in aid of execution or from execution with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Transaction Documents in any action that may be instituted in the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. This waiver is intended to be effective upon the execution hereof without any further act by any of the parties hereto, before any such court, and the introduction of a true copy of this Agreement into evidence in any such court shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be conclusive and final evidence of such waiver.

15. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Holder as to such Holder’s obligations only hereunder, and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company, the Guarantors, Tower and the other Participating Holders, by written notice to the other parties hereto if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the date which is sixty days from the date hereof. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company, the Guarantors and Tower by written notice to the Participating Holders if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the date which is sixty days from the date hereof; provided that the Company’s obligations under Section 9 shall survive any such termination.

16. Acknowledgment Regarding the Holder’s Acquisition of Securities. Each of the Company and Tower acknowledges and agrees that each Holder is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length investor with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. Each of the Company and Tower further acknowledges that no Holder is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary (or similar capacity) of the Company or Tower with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and no advice was given by any Holder to the Company or Tower in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. Each of the Company and Tower further represents to each Holder that the decision of each of the Company and Tower to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby Tower, the Company and their representatives.

17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the Exchange and supersedes the parties’ prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, on such matters, and this Agreement shall not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated except by instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

18. Amendments; Waivers. Except as expressly set forth herein, no provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment by the Company, the Guarantors, Tower and the Participating Holders holding Existing Notes representing at least a majority of the Original Principal Amount of all Participating Holders or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of such right.

19. Independent Nature of Participating Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder under this Agreement are several and not joint or joint and several with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Holder under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Participating Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Participating Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

20. Miscellaneous. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the signatories to this Agreement and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives. None of the Company, the Guarantors or Tower may assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Participating Holder. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page by facsimile or as an attachment to an electronic mail message in PDF or similar format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the signatories to this Agreement, and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
