Ladies and Gentlemen:

PSPC Escrow II Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”) and a wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary of Platform Specialty Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this “Agreement”), to issue and sell to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) and Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) and the other several initial purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom Credit Suisse and Barclays are acting as representatives (in such capacity, the “Representatives”), $500 million in aggregate principal amount of its 10.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Notes will have terms and provisions that are summarized in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and Offering Circular (as defined below), and are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “Initial Indenture”) dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) to be entered into between the Escrow Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as paying agent and registrar for the Notes.

On the Effective Date (as defined below), the Company and the guarantors listed in Schedule II-A hereto (the “Original Guarantors”) will enter into a Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) with the Trustee pursuant to which the Company will assume the rights and obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the Initial Indenture and the Original Guarantors will guarantee such obligations effective as of and from the Effective Date. Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Acquisition (as defined below), the Escrow Issuer will merge with and into the Company at which time the Company will, pursuant to the

Indenture, assume the rights and obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the Notes and the Initial Indenture and the Company will succeed to the Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and the Initial Indenture by the operation of law. In accordance with and as required by Section 5(s), the Target’s subsidiaries listed on Schedule II-B (the “Target Guarantors”), the Company and the Original Guarantors will enter into a Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) with the Trustee pursuant to which the Target Guarantors will guarantee the Issuer’s (as defined below) obligations under the Notes effective as of and from the date of such Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture Date”). The Notes will be issued by the Issuer and the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes, including the due and punctual payment of interest on the Notes, will be irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis (the “Guarantees”) (i) from and after the Effective Date (as defined below), by the Original Guarantors, and (ii) from and after the Second Supplemental Indenture Date, by the Original Guarantors and the Target Guarantors.

As used herein, the term (a) “Notes” shall include the Guarantees, unless the context otherwise requires; (b) “Indenture” shall mean (i) the Initial Indenture, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, (ii) the Initial Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, from and after the Effective Date, and (iii) the Initial Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, and as further supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, from and after the Second Supplemental Indenture Date; (c) “Issuer” shall mean (i) solely the Escrow Issuer prior to the Effective Date, and (ii) solely the Company from and after the Effective Date; and (d) “Guarantor” shall mean (i) all the Guarantors other than the Target Guarantors (as defined below) prior to the execution of the Second Supplemental Indenture, and (ii) all the Guarantors (including the Target Guarantors) from and after the execution of the Second Supplemental Indenture.

On July 13, 2015, the Company and Alent plc, a public limited company registered in England and Wales (including all of its subsidiaries, the “Target”), issued an announcement (the “Announcement”) pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the U.K. City Code on Takeovers and Mergers disclosing the terms of a recommended offer by MacDermid Performance Acquisitions Ltd., a private limited company registered in England and Wales and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, to acquire all of the issued and to be issued shares of the Target (the “Acquisition”). The Alent Acquisition is expected to be effected by way of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme” and the related scheme document, together with the Co-Operation Agreement (as defined in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below)) and any other documents, agreements or instruments delivered in connection with the Acquisition, the “Acquisition Documents”), which will be implemented under Part 26 of the U.K. Companies Xxx 0000, as amended. The Company expects to finance the Acquisition with (i) cash proceeds from the issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes and (ii) a drawdown under the Company’s amended senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) comprised of an incremental term loan denominated in U.S. dollars and an incremental term loan denominated in Eurodollars, in each case, pursuant to an amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the “Incremental Facility” and, together with any other documents, agreements or instruments delivered in connection therewith, the “Incremental Facility Documentation”) ((i)-(ii), together with the Acquisition, collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”). The Acquisition Documents and the Incremental Facility Documentation are referred to in this Agreement as the “Transaction Agreements.”

The Escrow Issuer will enter into an escrow and security agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Escrow and Security Agreement”), among the Escrow Issuer, the Trustee and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which the Initial Purchasers will deposit the gross proceeds from the offering of the Notes into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) held by the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Issuer (or one or more of its affiliates) will contribute to the Escrow Account an amount in cash such that the total escrowed funds will be sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price (as defined below). If the Escrow Conditions (as such term is defined in the Escrow and Security Agreement) are not satisfied on or prior to July 13, 2016 (the “Outside Date”), the funds held in the Escrow Account will be released to redeem the Notes at a special mandatory redemption price equal to the par of the Notes plus accrued interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”). Alternatively, the Escrow Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole but not in part, at any time prior to the Outside Date, if, in its judgment, the Acquisition will not be consummated by the Outside Date, at a redemption price equal to the par of the Notes, plus accrued interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. If the Escrow Conditions are satisfied on or prior to the Outside Date, the funds held in the Escrow Account will be released to or at the order of the Escrow Issuer to fund, in part, the consideration for the Acquisition other than the portion of such funds required to pay the Fee (as defined below), which will be released to or at the order of the Initial Purchasers (the date of such release being referred to herein as the “Effective Date”). If all of the Escrow Conditions will be satisfied substantially concurrently with the closing, (i) the Notes will not be subject to any special mandatory redemption and (ii) the “Effective Date” will be deemed to be the Closing Date for all purposes hereunder.

Immediately following the Acquisition, the Target and the Target Guarantors will be joined as Guarantors to this Agreement pursuant to a joinder agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Joinder Agreement”), at which time the representations, warranties and agreements of the Target in this Agreement shall become effective, as of the date thereof, pursuant to the terms of the Joinder Agreement, and each of the Target and the Target Guarantors shall, without any further action by any other person, become a party to this Agreement.

The Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors and, upon execution of the Joinder Agreement, the Target and the Target Guarantors hereby confirm their agreement with the several Initial Purchasers concerning the purchase and resale of the Notes as follows:

1. Purchase and Resale of the Notes. The Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on exemptions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors have prepared a preliminary offering circular, dated November 2, 2015 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), a pricing term sheet substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule III (the “Pricing Term Sheet”) setting forth the terms of the Notes omitted from the Preliminary Offering Circular and certain other information and an offering circular, dated November 3, 2015 (the “Offering Circular”), setting forth information regarding the Escrow Issuer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Notes and the Guarantees. The Preliminary Offering Circular, as supplemented and amended as of the Applicable Time (as defined below),

together with the Pricing Term Sheet and any of the documents listed on Schedule IV(A) hereto are collectively referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package”. The Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors hereby confirm that they have authorized the use of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular in connection with the offering and resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers. “Applicable Time” means 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of this Agreement.

Any reference to the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular shall be deemed to refer to and include the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and all subsequent documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or prior to the date of the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular, as the case may be. Any reference to the Preliminary Offering Circular, Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular, as the case may be, as amended or supplemented, as of any specified date, shall be deemed to include any documents filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of the Preliminary Offering Circular, Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular, as the case may be, and prior to such specified date. All documents filed under the Exchange Act and so deemed to be included in the Preliminary Offering Circular, Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular, as the case may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto are hereinafter called the “Exchange Act Reports”. For the avoidance of doubt, Exchange Act Reports shall not include any Current Reports on Form 8-K (or portions thereof) that are “furnished” to but not “filed” with the Commission.

You have advised the Escrow Issuer and the Company that you will offer and resell (the “Exempt Resales”) to subsequent purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) the Notes purchased by you hereunder on the terms set forth in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular, as amended or supplemented, solely to (i) persons whom you reasonably believe to be “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A (“QIBs”), and (ii) outside the United States to certain persons who are not U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) (such persons, “Non-U.S. Persons”) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. As used herein, the terms “offshore transaction” and “United States” have the meanings assigned to them in Regulation S. As disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular, one or more of the Initial Purchasers may use affiliates or other appropriately licensed entities, including Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited, Barclays Bank PLC and those listed in Schedule VI hereto, for whom Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited and Barclays Bank PLC are acting as representatives, for sales of the Notes in jurisdictions in which such Initial Purchasers are not otherwise permitted to do so. Those persons specified in clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as “Eligible Purchasers”.

No sale of the Notes to any one Subsequent Purchaser will be for less than $2,000 principal amount and no Note will be issued in a smaller principal amount. In the event a Subsequent Purchaser is a non-bank fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom it is acting must purchase at least $2,000 principal amount of the Notes.

2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors.

As used in this paragraph, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date (i) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets of the Consolidated Entity are not less than the total amount required to pay the probable liabilities of the Consolidated Entity on its total

existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured, (ii) the Consolidated Entity is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business, (iii) assuming the sale of the Notes as contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular and the Company’s entry into the Transaction Agreements, the Consolidated Entity is not incurring debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature, (iv) the Consolidated Entity is not engaged in any business or transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which the Company is engaged, and (v) neither the Company nor any Guarantor is a defendant in any civil action that would result in a judgment that the Company or such Guarantor is or would become unable to satisfy.

(q) On the date hereof and on the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers a certificate satisfactory to the Representatives, dated as of such date, of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying as to certain financial information of the Company, Alent and their respective subsidiaries in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular, as applicable.

(r) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers such further certificates and documents as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request.

All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchasers.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Escrow Issuer, the Company and each of the Guarantors, hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from

and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Notes), to which that Initial Purchaser, affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Free Writing Offering Document, the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) in any Blue Sky application or other document prepared or executed by the Escrow Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor (or based upon any written information furnished by the Escrow Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor) specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Notes under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”), or (C) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Escrow Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Notes, including any road show or investor presentations made to investors by the Escrow Issuer or the Company (whether in person or electronically) (“Marketing Materials”), or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Free Writing Offering Document, the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials, any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Initial Purchaser, affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package or Offering Circular, or in any such amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Escrow Issuer or the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 8(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Escrow Issuer, the Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have to any Initial Purchaser or to any affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Initial Purchaser.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Issuer, the Company and each of the Guarantors, their respective officers and employees, each of their respective directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Escrow Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Escrow Issuer, the Company, any Guarantor or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue

statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Free Writing Offering Document, Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) in any Blue Sky Application, or (C) in any Marketing Materials, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Free Writing Offering Document, Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of that Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 8(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have to the Escrow Issuer, the Company, any Guarantor or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraphs (a) or (b) above except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure and; provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under paragraphs (a) or (b) above. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Initial Purchasers and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Initial Purchasers against the Escrow Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor under this Section 8, if (i) the Escrow Issuer, the Company , the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors have failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers; (iii) the Initial Purchasers and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Initial Purchasers or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors, on the other hand, and

representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would present a conflict due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors and the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall no longer have the right to assume the defense of any such claim or action. No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (y) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Notes, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Notes purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Notes under this Agreement as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Circular. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the 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 Escrow Issuer, the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, the net proceeds deemed to be received by the Escrow Issuer shall be deemed to be also for the benefit of the Company and the Guarantors, and information supplied by the Escrow

Issuer and the Company shall also be deemed to have been supplied by the Guarantors. The Escrow Issuer, the Company, the Guarantors, and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(d), any documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale to Eligible Purchasers of the Notes initially purchased by it exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

(e) The Initial Purchasers severally confirm and the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the statements with respect to (i) the table setting forth the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased by each of the Initial Purchasers in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Offering Circular, (ii) the offering of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers set forth in the second sentence of paragraph 21 (being the paragraph immediately following the paragraph entitled “—Selling Restrictions—Singapore”) of the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Offering Circular, and (iii) the information relating to stabilization transactions set forth in paragraphs 23 and 24 (being the third and fourth paragraphs following the paragraph entitled “—Selling Restrictions—Singapore”) of the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Offering Circular, are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Initial Purchasers furnished in writing to the Escrow Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials.

9. Defaulting Initial Purchasers.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in its obligations to purchase the Notes that it has agreed to purchase under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Notes by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Notes on such terms. In the event that within the respective prescribed periods, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, or the Company notifies the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, either

the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Circular or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Circular that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Notes that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Notes of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; provided that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes that they agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of Section 3.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Escrow Issuer, the Company or the Guarantors, except that the Escrow Issuer, the Company and each of the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Sections 6 and 11 and except that the provisions of Section 8 shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Escrow Issuer, the Company, the Guarantors or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

10. Termination. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Notes if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 7(h), (j) or (p) shall have occurred or if the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

11. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If (a) the Escrow Issuer for any reason fails to tender the Notes for delivery to the Initial Purchasers, or (b) the Initial Purchasers

decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers) incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Notes, and upon demand the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall pay the full amount thereof to the Initial Purchasers. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 by reason of the default of one or more Initial Purchasers, the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Initial Purchaser on account of those expenses.

12. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

(a) if to any Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by hand delivery, mail, overnight courier, e-mail or facsimile transmission to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: LCD-IBD; Barclays Capital Inc., 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Syndicate Registration (Fax: (000) 000-0000) (with a copy to Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxx X.

The Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall be entitled to act and rely upon any request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by the Representatives.

13. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Escrow Issuer, the Company, the Guarantors and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of affiliates, directors, officers and employees of the Initial Purchasers and each person or persons, if any, controlling any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 13, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any failure by Target and the Target Guarantors to become a signatory to the Joinder Agreement shall not relieve the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors (and their successors) of any of their obligations hereunder.

14. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Escrow Issuer, the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Notes and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them.

15. Definition of the Terms “Business Day”, “Affiliate”, and “Subsidiary”. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “business day” means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading, and (b) “affiliate” and “subsidiary” have the meanings set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

16. Governing Law & Venue.

17. Waiver of Jury Trial.

18. No Fiduciary Duty. The Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering, or any other services the Initial Purchasers may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Initial Purchasers: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Escrow Issuer, the Company, any Guarantor and any other person, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, exists; (b) the Initial Purchasers are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Escrow Issuer, the Company or the Guarantors, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the purchase price of the Notes, and such relationship between the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Initial Purchasers may have to the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; (d) the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors; and (e) the Escrow Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.
