AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LETTERS OF CREDIT
Section 2.01. Letters of Credit.
(a) The Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, on the terms and conditions herein set forth, to issue standby Letters of Credit for the account of any Applicant and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Letter of Credit (“Modify” and each such action a “Modification”), in each case in any Approved Currency, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Maturity Date; provided that (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation to issue or Modify a Letter of Credit if the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the total Commitment after giving effect to such issuance or Modification, and (ii) no Letter of Credit shall have a Stated Expiry Date later than three years from its date of issuance, or such later date agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its sole discretion. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue (or Modify) each Letter of Credit on notice received by the Letter of Credit Issuer from the Applicant not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance (or Modification) of such Letter of Credit. Each such notice of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Letter of Credit”) shall be submitted to the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Bolero System or the CitiDirect Electronic Platform (or, if requested by the Letter of Credit Issuer, in accordance with Section 8.02(a)) in substantially the form of Exhibit G, specifying therein (i) the requested date of issuance (or Modification) of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the requested amount of such Letter of Credit and the Approved Currency in which such amount shall be denominated, (iii) the requested expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) whether such Letter of Credit will be a Secured Letter of Credit and secured by Collateral in accordance with Section 2.13(b), and (v) the purpose and terms of such Letter of Credit and other information contemplated by Exhibit G. Additionally, if requested by the Letter of Credit Issuer, Cameron shall execute and deliver to the Letter of Credit Issuer an application for letter of credit on the Letter of Credit Issuer’s standard form or on another form agreed upon by Cameron and the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall decide in its sole discretion, and indicate to the Applicant promptly after receiving any Notice of Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit would be classified for purposes of capital adequacy or reserve requirements as a Financial Letter of Credit or a Performance Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Issuer may, at its option, respond to any Notice of Letter of Credit on behalf of an Applicant by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue a Letter of Credit or a Bank Guaranty, in each case supported by a Protective Letter of Credit; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Applicant to repay all drawings and other amounts due under such Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents. Any Protective Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and any Bank Guaranty or other Letter of Credit it supports must be denominated in the same Approved Currency. On the Effective Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall automatically, without any action on the part of any Person, be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder, and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. On the Second Amendment Effective Date, all Exiting Letters of Credit shall automatically, without any action on the part of any Person, be deemed not to be Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder, and shall not be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

(iv) payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Letter of Credit presented for purposes of drawing under any Letter of Credit (“Drawing Document”) that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or which proves to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person (or a transferee of a Person) purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(x) the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any Modification thereto) in a form other than substantially as requested by the Applicant, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer receives written notice from such Applicant of such error within three Business Days after such Applicant shall have received a copy of the Letter of Credit (or such Modification); or
(xi) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, an Applicant’s obligations hereunder (whether against the Letter of Credit Issuer, the beneficiary or any other Person).
however, this Section 2.01(b) shall not limit any right of any Applicant to make a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer to the extent provided in Section 2.01(d).
(c) Each Applicant assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to the use of such Letter of Credit. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Letter of Credit Issuer nor any branch, Affiliate or correspondent bank of the Letter of Credit Issuer nor any of their respective employees, agents, officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit issued by it or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit issued by it in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer against presentation of documents that do not strictly comply with the terms of the relevant Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; (iv) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, or (v) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it.

-20-
(d) Each Applicant shall have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to such Applicant, to the extent of any direct damages suffered by such Applicant that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have been caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s (i) willful misconduct or (ii) gross negligence. No provision of Section 2.01(c) shall be construed to limit or impair a claim by any Applicant under this Section 2.01(d), and the Letter of Credit Issuer’s liability to any Applicant under this Section 2.01(d) shall not be limited by the limitations on its liability set out in Section 2.01(c).
Section 2.02. Fees.
(a) Commitment Fee. Cameron agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate on the daily amount by which the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Commitment exceeds the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate maximum amount of all undrawn portions of Letters of Credit (such fee, a “Commitment Fee”), in the case of the Letter of Credit Issuer, from the date hereof, and in the case of a successor Letter of Credit Issuer, from the date on which it assumed a Commitment or acquired Obligations, in each case, until the Commitment Termination Date. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be calculated in arrears for the quarters ended each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 and payable quarterly in arrears on the 7th day of each January, April, July and October, commencing April 7, 2012, and on the Commitment Termination Date. The Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(b) Issuance Fee. Cameron agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer an issuance fee for each Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at the Issuance Fee Rate for, as applicable, a Secured Letter of Credit, an Unsecured Letter of Credit that is a Financial Letter of Credit, or an Unsecured Letter of Credit that is a Performance Letter of Credit, on the daily amount of the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to such Letter of Credit (such fee, an “Issuance Fee”), in the case of the Letter of Credit Issuer, from the date hereof and, in the case of a successor Letter of Credit Issuer, from the date on which it assumed a Commitment or acquired Obligations, in each case until the date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer ceases to hold any Letter of Credit Liabilities. Accrued Issuance Fees shall be calculated in arrears for the quarters ended each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 and payable quarterly in arrears on the 7th day of each January, April, July and October, commencing April 7, 2012, and on the date the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no further Letter of Credit Liabilities. The Issuance Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
-21-
(c) Other Fees. Cameron shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer such other fees as may be separately agreed to by Cameron and the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, in writing. Additionally, Cameron agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer, (i) in connection with each Letter of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, customary issuance and administrative fees and expenses for such Letter of Credit, (ii) in connection with Bank Guaranties or other obligations supported by a Protected Letter of Credit, all fees and expenses of the Letter of Credit Issuer’s foreign Affiliates or branches for such Bank Guaranties and other obligations, as agreed from time to time between the Letter of Credit Issuer or such foreign Affiliates or branches and Cameron and (iii) in connection with the release of Collateral securing a Secured Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.13(h)(i), the difference between the Issuance Fees actually paid with respect to such Letter of Credit and the amount of Issuance Fees that would have been due with respect to such Letter of Credit if it had been an Unsecured Letter of Credit from the date of its issuance.
Section 2.03. Administration; Reimbursement; Demand Loans. (a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the applicable Applicant as to the amount demanded to be paid by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the proposed payment date. Upon its determination to honor any such demand for payment, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the applicable Applicant of such determination and the Letter of Credit Issuer’s intended payment date therefor (the “Letter of Credit Payment Date”).
(b) The relevant Applicant shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any amounts of any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Applicant (any such amount, a “Reimbursement Obligation”). Each Reimbursement Obligation shall be due from such Applicant on the Letter of Credit Payment Date, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, and payable on the later of (i) the Letter of Credit Payment Date and (ii) the date that is two Business Days after the date the Letter of Credit Issuer notifies such Applicant of its determination to honor any such demand for payment. The relevant Applicant shall deposit the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation in a deposit account or accounts to be established and maintained at the office of the Letter of Credit Issuer (the “Reimbursement Account”) no later than the date such Reimbursement Obligation is payable by such Applicant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall from time to time withdraw funds then held in the Reimbursement Account to pay any Reimbursement Obligation that is due under this Agreement. Any Reimbursement Obligation that is not paid on or prior to the relevant Letter of Credit Payment Date (including by set-off against the Reimbursement Account) shall bear interest from the relevant Letter of Credit Payment Date until and including the earlier of (i) the date such Reimbursement Obligation is paid and (ii) the date such Reimbursement Obligation becomes payable pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), at a rate per annum equal to the Overdraft Rate in effect from time to time. All payments of Reimbursement Obligations shall be made in the same Approved Currency in which the payment on the underlying Letter of Credit was made.
(c) If an Applicant shall fail to pay a Reimbursement Obligation to the Letter of Credit Issuer after such Reimbursement Obligation has become due and payable pursuant to Section 2.03(b), such Reimbursement Obligation shall immediately constitute, without necessity of further act or evidence, a loan (a “Demand Loan”) made by the Letter of Credit Issuer to such Applicant on the date of such Reimbursement Obligation in a principal amount equal to such Reimbursement Obligation and repayable upon demand in the Approved Currency in which such Reimbursement Obligation is denominated, together with interest on the principal amount of such Demand Loan remaining unpaid from time to time, payable on demand and computed from the date such Demand Loan is made as specified above to the date of repayment in full thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum. Each Applicant shall repay the principal of all Demand Loans on the earlier of demand and the Commitment Termination Date.
Section 2.04. Default Interest. The Applicants shall pay interest on, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any Reimbursement Obligations, interest, Commitment Fee, Issuance Fee, other fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due and payable, from the date such amount shall be due and payable, until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum.
Section 2.05. Yield Protection. (a) If any Change in Law:
(i) subjects the Letter of Credit Issuer to any Taxes, or changes the
basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to the Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of any Letters of Credit, or
basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to the Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of any Letters of Credit, or
(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Letter of Credit Issuer, or
insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Letter of Credit Issuer, or
(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer of issuing, or committing to issue, or making a payment in respect of, Letters of Credit, or reduces any amount receivable by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with its Letters of Credit, or requires the Letter of Credit Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Letters of Credit or interest or Issuance Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer of issuing, or committing to issue, or making a payment in respect of, Letters of Credit, or to reduce the return received by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such Letters of Credit, Commitment Fees or Issuance Fees, then, within 15 days of demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Applicants shall pay the Letter of Credit Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer for the actual increased cost or reduction in amount received.
(b) If any law or any governmental or quasi governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive of any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or any subdivision thereof (whether or not having the force of law), imposes or deems applicable any reserve requirement against or fee with respect to assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer of issuing, or committing to issue, or making a payment in respect of, Letters of Credit upon the request of, or of making or maintaining its Commitment to, any Credit Party that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Credit Party”) or to reduce the return received by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such Letters of Credit applied for by, or Commitment to any Non-U.S. Credit Party, then, within 15 days of demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer, such Non-U.S. Credit Party shall pay the Letter of Credit Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
-22-
Section 2.06. Capital Adequacy. (a) If the Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Applicants shall, within 15 days of demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer, pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(b) Failure or delay on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.05 shall not constitute a waiver of the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Applicants shall not be required to compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the Letter of Credit Issuer notifies the relevant Applicant of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Applicant contained in this Section 2.06 and Section 2.05 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of the Commitment.
Section 2.07. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency shall assert that it is unlawful (such unlawfulness or such assertion of unlawfulness being an “Illegality Event”), for the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by the Letter of Credit Issuer to Cameron, the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue any such Letters of Credit shall be suspended until the time set forth in the next succeeding sentence. The suspension of the obligations of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit shall terminate upon the withdrawal by the Letter of Credit Issuer of its notice and demand with respect to the Illegality Event referenced in this Section 2.07. If an Illegality Event has ceased to exist, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly withdraw its notice and demand by giving written notice of withdrawal to Cameron.
-23-
Section 2.08. Payments and Computations. (a) The Credit Parties shall make each payment under any Credit Document not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time), or in the case of payment in any currency other than Dollars, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time), on the day when due and payable in same day funds, free and clear of any defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, or withholdings or deductions for taxes as set forth in Section 2.09 (i) in the case of a payment of Reimbursement Obligations, by depositing funds into the Reimbursement Account as set forth in Section 2.03(b) and (ii) in the case of other payments, by delivering funds to the Letter of Credit Issuer at its Payment Office.
(b) All computations of fees and interest shall be made by the Letter of Credit Issuer on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees or interest are payable. Each determination by the Letter of Credit Issuer of a rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be.
Section 2.09. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Credit Parties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.08, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees, duties or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Letter of Credit Issuer, Excluded Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees, duties, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document to the Letter of Credit Issuer, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.09) the Letter of Credit Issuer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Credit Parties agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c) The Credit Parties will indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.09) paid by the Letter of Credit Issuer and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Issuer, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date the Letter of Credit Issuer makes written demand therefor. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be indemnified for Taxes incurred or accrued more than 180 days prior to the date that the Letter of Credit Issuer notifies Cameron thereof.
-24-
(d) Within 90 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by or at the direction of any Credit Party, such Credit Party will furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, (i) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, if the relevant taxing authority provides a receipt, or (ii) if the relevant taxing authority does not provide a receipt, other reasonable evidence of the payment thereof. Should the Letter of Credit Issuer ever receive any refund, credit or deduction from any taxing authority to which the Letter of Credit Issuer would not be entitled but for the payment by a Credit Party of Taxes as required by this Section 2.09 (it being understood that the decision as to whether or not to claim, and if claimed, as to the amount of any such refund, credit or deduction shall be made by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its sole discretion), the Letter of Credit Issuer thereupon shall repay to such Credit Party an amount with respect to such refund, credit or deduction equal to any net reduction in taxes actually obtained by the Letter of Credit Issuer and determined by the Letter of Credit Issuer to be attributable to such refund, credit or deduction.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties contained in this Section 2.09 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and termination in full of the Commitment.
Section 2.10. Reduction or Termination of the Commitment; Effect of Termination. (a) Cameron shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least three Business Days’ prior and irrevocable written notice to the Letter of Credit Issuer, to terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Commitment, with any partial reduction to be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 in integral multiples of $5,000,000; provided that the Commitment may not be reduced to an amount less than the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to payments on such proposed termination or reduction date). Any termination of the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.10 is permanent and may not be reinstated.
(b) Upon and at all times after the Commitment is terminated in full pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Commitment shall be zero and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no further obligation to issue any Letters of Credit.
Section 2.11. Transfers; Assignments of Proceeds. If, at an Applicant’s request, a Letter of Credit is issued in transferable form, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing in any transfer request, Drawing Document, or other document as transferor or transferee, nor shall the Letter of Credit Issuer be responsible for the validity, appropriateness or correctness of any transfer. The Letter of Credit Issuer is not obligated to recognize an assignment of proceeds of a Letter of Credit unless and until the Letter of Credit Issuer consents to such assignment; and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be obligated to give or withhold its consent to an assignment of proceeds of a Letter of Credit; however, if the Letter of Credit Issuer consents to an assignment of proceeds of the Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing to be the assignor or assignee, nor shall the Letter of Credit Issuer be responsible for the validity, appropriateness or correctness of any such assignment.
-25-
Section 2.12. Modifications of a Letter Credit. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Applicant with respect to any Modification of a Letter of Credit made at any Applicant’s request or with any Applicant’s consent. Each Applicant’s Obligations shall not be reduced or impaired in any way by any agreement by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit extending the Letter of Credit Issuer’s time to honor or to give notice of discrepancies, and any such agreement shall be binding upon any Applicant.
Section 2.13. Collateral.
(a) Pledge of Collateral. The Credit Parties hereby pledge, and grant to the Letter of Credit Issuer a first priority security interest in, all Permitted Collateral held in any Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all Obligations. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall at all times (i) have sole control over each Collateral Account, (ii) exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral held in any Collateral Account, (iii) be deemed to have exercised such care if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Letter of Credit Issuer accords its own property, and (iv) not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral or for investing such Collateral.
(b) Deposit of Collateral for Secured Letters of Credit. The Applicants shall, no later than one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of a Secured Letter of Credit, deposit and maintain, or cause a Collateral Provider to deposit and maintain, Collateral in a Collateral Account in the same currency in which such Secured Letter of Credit is denominated to secure such Secured Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 100% of the Face Amount of such Secured Letter of Credit, to the extent necessary such that, after giving effect to such Secured Letter of Credit and any such deposit of Collateral, there is Complete Collateral Compliance. Any deposit of Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be deemed a representation that no Default (as defined in the JPMorgan Credit Agreement) exists under the JPMorgan Credit Agreement or would be caused by such deposit of Collateral. Subject to Section 2.13(h), Collateral that is deposited in a Collateral Account to secure a Secured Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.13(b) shall remain in such Collateral Account for the full term of such Secured Letter of Credit.
(c) Deposit of Collateral for Expiration Date Exceeding Maturity Date. If a Letter of Credit has an Expiration Date later than the Maturity Date, the relevant Applicant agrees that it shall, without any demand or the taking of any other action by the Letter of Credit Issuer and no later than the later of (i) 90 days prior to the Maturity Date and (ii) the date the Letter of Credit Issuer issues such Letter of Credit, deposit and maintain, or cause a Collateral Provider to deposit and maintain, Collateral in a Collateral Account in an amount equal to 100% of the Face Amount of such Letter of Credit, in the same currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, plus the amount of all Issuance Fees scheduled to be paid through the Expiration Date of such Letter of Credit (or increase the Collateral held in respect of a Secured Letter of Credit to such amount) (any such required Collateral, the “Section 2.13(c) Collateral”).
-26-
Such Collateral shall be required in addition to any other Collateral that may be on deposit with respect to any Secured Letter of Credit or otherwise. Any Unsecured Letter of Credit required to be secured pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) shall continue to be considered an Unsecured Letter of Credit for purposes of determining the Issuance Fee applicable to such Letter of Credit.
(d) Deposit of Collateral Upon Disposition of a Substantial Portion of the Assets. If, after giving effect to the disposition of a Substantial Portion of the assets of Cameron and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the ratio of Total Debt to Total Capitalization for Cameron, on a consolidated basis with the Restricted Subsidiaries, is greater than 60%, then the Applicants shall deposit, or cause a Collateral Provider to deposit, Collateral into a Collateral Account, such that the Collateral Value in the Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds, in the aggregate, an amount equal to 100% of the then aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, plus the amount of all Issuance Fees for each outstanding Letter of Credit scheduled to be paid through the Expiration Date of such Letter of Credit (any such required Collateral, the “Section 2.13(d) Collateral”).

-50-
Section 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided in the Credit Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
Section 8.04. Costs, Expenses; Indemnity; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Credit Party agrees to pay, upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer, (i) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any of its Affiliates in connection with any Letter of Credit and the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Credit Documents and the other documents to be delivered under the Credit Documents, due diligence in connection with the Credit Documents, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Credit Documents and the satisfaction of the matters referred to in Section 3.01, and (ii) all legal and other costs and expenses of the Letter of Credit Issuer incurred during the existence of an Event of Default in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights with respect to the Credit Documents and the other documents to be delivered under the Credit Documents or incurred in connection with any workout, restructuring or bankruptcy (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise).
(b) Each Credit Party hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Letter of Credit Issuer and each of its directors, officers, employees and attorneys (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses related to environmental matters) (collectively, “Losses”) for which any of them may become liable or which may be incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of, related to or in connection with (i) any Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance, (ii) any transaction in which any proceeds of all or any part of the Letters of Credit are applied, (iii) breach by any Credit Party or Collateral Provider of any Credit Document, (iv) violation by any Credit Party or Collateral Provider of any Environmental Law or any other law, rule, regulation or order, (v) any investigation, litigation, or proceeding, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, arising out of or related to or in connection with any of the foregoing or any Letter of Credit or any Credit Document, including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of or honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit, (vi) any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender, or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any Indemnified Party in connection with any Letter of Credit, (vii) any independent undertaking issued by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, (viii) any unauthorized Notice of Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit or error in computer transmission, (ix) an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated, (x) any third person seeking to enforce the rights of a Credit Party, Collateral Provider, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of letter of credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document, (xi) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Indemnified Party, (xii) the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement or any Credit Document, (xiii) the Letter of Credit Issuer’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation, or (xiv) the acts or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority or cause or event which is beyond the control of such Indemnified Party; in each case EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY SUCH LOSSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY, BUT EXCLUDING ANY SUCH LOSSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY AS DETERMINED PURSUANT TO A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 8.04(B), BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. The Letter of Credit Issuer will provide Cameron prompt notice of any matter (other than matters solely among Indemnified Parties) as to which indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) is claimed. Any Indemnified Party that proposes to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give Cameron written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding.
-51-
(c) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein. The liability of the Letter of Credit Issuer (or any other Indemnified Party) under, in connection with, or arising out of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit (or any pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to any direct damages suffered by the Credit Parties that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have been caused directly by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Letter of Credit Issuer be deemed to have failed to act with due diligence or reasonable care if the Letter of Credit Issuer’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. If a Letter of Credit is to be governed by a law other than that of the State of New York, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be liable for any Losses resulting from any act or omission by the Letter of Credit Issuer in accord with the UCP or the ISP, as applicable, and each Credit Party shall indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer for all such Losses. The Credit Party’s aggregate remedies against the Letter of Credit Issuer and any Indemnified Party for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by the Credit Parties to the Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of the honored presentation in respect of such Letter of Credit, plus interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Indemnified Parties shall not, under any circumstances whatsoever, be liable for any punitive, consequential, indirect or special damages or losses regardless of whether the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Indemnified Party shall have been advised of the possibility thereof or of the form of action in which such damages or losses may be claimed. The Credit Parties shall take commercially reasonable actions to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Indemnified Party.

Upon the effective date of such assignment, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder and (y) the Letter of Credit Issuer assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of an assigning Letter of Credit Issuer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall cease to be a party hereto except that the rights under Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.09 and 8.04 of such Letter of Credit Issuer shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with its ceasing to be a party hereto).
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Letter of Credit Issuer may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it), including a security interest in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board.
-53-
Section 8.07. Governing Law; Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of law rules (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). Letters of Credit may be subject to the UCP or the ISP, at the Letter of Credit Issuer’s option. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.
Section 8.08. Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it, if any.

For purposes of this Section 8.09, “Information” means all information received from Cameron or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Cameron or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Letter of Credit Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Cameron or any of its Subsidiaries, excluding any Information from a source which, to the actual knowledge of the Letter of Credit Issuer, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to Cameron. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 8.09 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 8.15. FORUM SELECTION AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (OR THE STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE EVENT THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK LACKS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION), AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, INCLUDING THE JURISDICTIONS OF INCORPORATION OF ANY CREDIT PARTY NOT INCORPORATED IN THE UNITED STATES.

THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE CREDIT PARTIES HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS.
Section 8.16. DAMAGES.

Section 8.17. Appointment of Process Agent. Each Non-U.S. Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the Effective Date at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as its agent to receive on behalf of it and its properties service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing by certified mail a copy of such process to the applicable Non-U.S. Credit Party, in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, with a copy to Cameron, at its address specified herein, and each Non-U.S. Credit Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, each Non-U.S. Credit Party also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing by certified mail of copies of such process to it at its address specified herein. Each Non-U.S. Credit Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 8.18. Patriot Act Notice.

Section 8.19. Survival of Agreements, Representations and Warranties, Etc. All warranties, representations and covenants made in or in connection with any Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Letter of Credit Issuer and shall survive the issuance of any Letter of Credit regardless of any investigation. In addition, the confidentiality provisions contained in Section 8.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.20. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Letter of Credit Issuer could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Letter of Credit Issuer from the Credit Parties in the Agreement Currency, Cameron agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Letter of Credit Issuer in such currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to return the amount of any excess to Cameron (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
Section 8.21. Currency Conversion. All payments of Obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars, except for Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to Letters of Credit issued in any Approved Currency other than Dollars, which shall be repaid, including interest thereon, in such other Approved Currency. If any payment of any Obligation, whether through payment by any Credit Party or the proceeds of any Collateral, shall be made in a currency other than an Approved Currency, such amount shall be converted into an Approved Currency at the rate determined by the Letter of Credit Issuer as the rate quoted by it in accordance with methods customarily used by the Letter of Credit Issuer for such or similar purposes as the spot rate for the purchase by the Letter of Credit Issuer of the Approved Currency with the currency of actual payment through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 A.M. (local time at such office) two Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion, provided that the Letter of Credit Issuer may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution actively engaged in foreign currency exchange if the Letter of Credit Issuer does not then have a spot rate for the Approved Currency. The parties hereto hereby agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that (i) if for the purposes of obtaining any judgment or award it becomes necessary to convert from any currency other than an Approved Currency into an Approved Currency any amount in connection with the Obligations, then the conversion shall be made as provided above on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given, (ii) in the event that there is a change in the applicable conversion rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given and the date of payment, Cameron will pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer will pay to Cameron such excess amounts (if any) as result from such change in the rate of exchange, to assure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in such other currency, which when converted at the conversion rate described herein on the date of payment, is the amount then due in an Approved Currency, and (iii) any amount due from Cameron under this Section 8.21 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment or award being obtained for any other sum due.

(a) Determination of Exchange Rates. Not later than 4:00 P.M.

The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 8.20 or any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in determining the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts of a currency other than Dollars.
(b) Notice of Foreign Currency Loans and Letters of Credit. Not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time) on each Reset Date and each date on which Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars are made or issued, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall (i) determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amounts of Letter of Credit Liabilities denominated in a currency other than Dollars (after giving effect to Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars being made, issued, repaid, or cancelled or reduced on such date) and (ii) notify Cameron of the results of such determination.
Section 8.23. Additional Subsidiary Applicants.

(ii) an updated Schedule 4.01(h)(ii) reflecting the joinder of such Restricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Applicant, which schedule shall be deemed automatically amended upon the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 8.23;
(iii) such additional (or amendments to the existing) CitiDirect Documents or documents relating to the Bolero System as the Letter of Credit Issuer reasonably requests in connection with such joinder;
(iv) if such Restricted Subsidiary will be a Non-U.S. Credit Party, evidence of appointment by such Non-U.S. Credit Party of CT Corporation System as its domestic process agent in accordance with Section 8.17;
(v) a certificate of the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, or any other officer, director, or manager of such Restricted Subsidiary certifying (A) the resolutions of the board of directors or managers of such Restricted Subsidiary authorizing the execution of each Credit Document to which such Restricted Subsidiary is a party, (B) the charter and bylaws or other applicable organizational documents of such Restricted Subsidiary, (C) certificates of existence, good standing and qualification, or an equivalent thereto, from appropriate government officials with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such government officials of the applicable jurisdiction issue such certificates or an equivalent thereto, (D) all other documents evidencing any necessary company action and governmental, shareholder and third-party consents, approvals and filings, if any, with respect to each such Credit Document and the transactions thereunder, and (E) the names and true signatures of the officers (or agents) of such Restricted Subsidiary authorized to sign each Credit Document to be executed by it; and
(vi) such other documents, governmental certificates, financing statements, conditions, agreements and lien searches that the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably request, including without limitation, information that a Subsidiary Applicant is required by bank regulatory authorities to deliver to the Letter of Credit Issuer under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including Title III of the Patriot Act, that has been identified by the Letter of Credit Issuer and notified to such Subsidiary Applicant.
(b) The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Subsidiary Applicant as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Credit Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Applicant hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Subsidiary Applicant as a party to this Agreement.
Section 8.24. Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Agreement in its entirety and the terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and provisions thereof, and this Agreement is not a new or substitute agreement or novation of the Existing Agreement.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (a) Cameron has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) Cameron ‘s Xxxxx’x Rating is A3 or better or Cameron’s S&P Rating is A- or better.
“Level III Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (a) Cameron has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) Cameron’s Xxxxx’x Rating is Baa1 or better or Cameron’s S&P Rating is BBB+ or better.
“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (a) Cameron has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status and (ii) Cameron’s Xxxxx’x Rating is Baa2 or better or Cameron’s S&P Rating is BBB or better.
“Level V Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (a) Cameron has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status and (ii) Cameron’s Xxxxx’x Rating is Baa3 or better or Cameron’s S&P Rating is BBB- or better.
“Level VI Status” exists at any date if, on such date, Cameron has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status.
“Xxxxx’x Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by Xxxxx’x and then in effect with respect to Cameron’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.
“S&P Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by S&P and then in effect with respect to Cameron’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.
“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status, Level V Status or Level VI Status.
The applicable Issuance Fee and Commitment Fee shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on Cameron’s Status as determined by the then-current Xxxxx’x Rating and S&P Rating. The credit rating in effect on any date for the purposes of this Pricing Grid is that in effect at the close of business on such date. If at any time Cameron has neither a Xxxxx’x Rating nor an S&P Rating, then Level VI Status, or such other pricing level as may be agreed by Cameron and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall exist. If the credit ratings from Xxxxx’x and S&P fall within different categories, Cameron’s Status shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless the lower rating is two or more levels below the higher rating, in which case the rating which is one level above the lower rating will apply. If at any time Cameron has only a single rating from either Xxxxx’x or S&P, then Cameron’s status shall be based on the sole remaining rating.

EXHIBIT A
FORM OF COLLATERAL PROVIDER GUARANTY
This Collateral Provider Guaranty dated as of [], 20[ ] (this "Guaranty") is made by each of the undersigned (individually a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors") in favor of Citibank, N.A.
R E C I T A L S:
X. Xxxxxxx International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Cameron"), certain subsidiaries of Cameron (the "Subsidiary Applicants"), and Citibank, N.A., as letter of credit issuer (the "Letter of Credit Issuer"), have entered into a certain Amended and Restated Continuing Agreement for Letters of Credit dated as of February 2, 2012 (as from time to time modified, supplemented or amended, the "Agreement"). Each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term by the Agreement.
B. Each Guarantor is a subsidiary of Cameron and will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the extensions of credit contemplated by the Agreement and is entering into this Guaranty to induce the Letter of Credit Issuer to extend credit to the Applicants thereunder.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration and as an inducement to the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit at the request of Applicants, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
Section 1. Limited-Recourse Guaranty.
(a) Subject to the limitations in Section 1(b), each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees prompt, full and complete payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of (i) all Obligations under the Agreement and (ii) all other amounts from time to time owing to the Letter of Credit Issuer by any Applicant under the Agreement and the other Credit Documents, in each case, whether absolute or contingent and whether for principal, interest, fees, amounts required to be provided as collateral, indemnities, expenses or otherwise (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"). This is a guaranty of payment, not a guaranty of collection.
(b) The amount of each Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty, however arising (whether in contract, tort or any other legal or equitable theory whatsoever), is expressly limited to the amount of the Collateral (as defined in that certain Security Agreement dated as of February 2, 2012 (the "Security Agreement") among Cameron, the Guarantor, the other Debtors party thereto and the Letter of Credit Issuer), and NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS GUARANTY, THE RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND RECOURSE OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER UNDER THIS GUARANTY WILL BE SOLELY LIMITED TO, AND WILL BE ENFORCEABLE SOLELY AGAINST, THE COLLATERAL. THE LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER WILL NOT SEEK ANY MONEY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY AGAINST ANY ASSETS OF ANY GUARANTOR OTHER THAN THE COLLATERAL.
Section 2. Waivers. Each Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or incurrence of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. Each Guarantor further waives promptness, presentment, protest, notice, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Applicant or any other Subsidiary of Cameron, demand or action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including any right to require the Letter of Credit Issuer to xxx Xxxxxxx or any other Applicant, any other guarantor or any other person obligated with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or otherwise to enforce payment thereof against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, its obligations hereunder shall be continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, termination, defense (other than payment in full, subject however to Section 8 hereof), reduction by setoff or counterclaim, or recoupment whatsoever (all of which are hereby expressly waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by law), whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise. The validity and enforceability of this Guaranty shall not be impaired or affected by and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to any of the following:
(a) any amendment, waiver, extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitution for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time, including any renewal or extension of the time or change of the manner or place of payment;
(b) any failure or omission to perfect or maintain any lien on, or preserve rights to, any security or collateral or to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, non-perfection, impairment, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligations of any person thereof;
(e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Guaranty even though the Lenders might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Guaranty;
-2-
(g) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Applicant or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in legal status of any Applicant;
(h) any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act of any jurisdiction or any other event in any way affecting any term of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Letter of Credit Issuer's rights with respect thereto, including, without limitation: (i) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of a Non-USD Currency (as hereinafter defined) for U.S. Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of U.S. Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice; or (ii) a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or the imposition by such jurisdiction or any governmental authority thereof of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction; or (iii) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such country or any governmental authority that directly or indirectly deprives any Applicant of any assets or its use or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof; or (iv) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which has the same effect as the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this Guaranty);
(i) the failure of any Applicant to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty;
(j) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which such Guarantor may have at any time against any Applicant or any other guarantor in connection herewith or with any unrelated transaction;
(k) the Letter of Credit Issuer's election, in any case or proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code;
(l) any borrowing, use of cash collateral, or grant of a security interest by any Applicant, as debtor in possession, under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code;
(m) the disallowance of all or any portion of any of the Letter of Credit Issuer's claims for repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations under Section 502 or 506 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; or
(n) any other fact or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to such Guarantor or grounds at law or equity for the discharge or release of such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, all whether or not such Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (m) of this paragraph.
-3-
It is agreed that each Guarantor's liability hereunder is independent of any other guaranties or other obligations at any time in effect with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof and that each Guarantor's liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other guaranties or other obligations or any provision of any applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Applicant of the Guaranteed Obligations in the manner agreed upon among the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Applicants as applicable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 1(b), each Guarantor guarantees that it shall pay the Letter of Credit Issuer strictly in accordance with the express terms of any document or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligation, including in the amounts and in the currency expressly agreed to thereunder, irrespective of and without giving effect to any laws of the jurisdiction where any Applicant is principally located in effect from time to time, or any order, decree or regulation in the jurisdiction where any Applicant is principally located.
Section 4. Financial Condition of Applicants. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Letter of Credit Issuer to any Applicant without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of such Applicant's financial or other condition at the time of any such grant or continuation. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have an obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of any Applicant.
Section 5. Subrogation and Subordination. Until the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, the termination of the Agreement and all commitments which could give rise to any Guaranteed Obligation, and the other conditions of this Guaranty have been satisfied ("Guaranty Termination"), no Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and hereby waives, until Guaranty Termination occurs, (a) any right to enforce any remedy which the Letter of Credit Issuer now has or may hereafter have against any Applicant, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Letter of Credit Issuer to secure payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any other liability of any Guarantor to the Letter of Credit Issuer, and (c) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, in each case, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the occurrence of Guaranty Termination, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and shall forthwith be paid to the Letter of Credit Issuer to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and any and all other amounts payable by such Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any indebtedness of any Applicant to such Guarantor shall be subordinated to the Obligations under the Agreement in the manner and on terms satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer.
Section 6. Remedies. Each Guarantor authorizes the Letter of Credit Issuer to take any action or exercise any remedy, in each case, as permitted or available at law or equity, with respect to any collateral from time to time securing the Guaranteed Obligations, which the Letter of Credit Issuer in its sole discretion shall determine, without notice to such Guarantor.
-4-
Section 7. Notice of Remedies. In the event the Letter of Credit Issuer in its sole discretion elects to give notice of any action with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, 10 days' written notice mailed to a Guarantor by ordinary mail at the address shown hereon shall be deemed reasonable notice of any matters contained in such notice. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 8. Payment Upon Demand; Reinstatement. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, administration or reorganization of any Applicant, or otherwise, subject to Section 1(b), all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor forthwith upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that any Applicant makes a payment or payments to the Letter of Credit Issuer on the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Letter of Credit Issuer receives any proceeds of collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations, which payment or receipt of proceeds or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be returned or repaid to such Applicant, its estate, trustee, receiver, debtor in possession or any other party, including, without limitation, such Guarantor, under any insolvency or bankruptcy law, state, federal, or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, return or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date when such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.
Section 9. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that:
(a) it is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company (or comparable foreign entity) duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing (or foreign equivalent) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted;
(b) it is duly qualified and in good standing (to the extent applicable) as a foreign corporation or other business entity and is duly authorized to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted or proposed to be conducted except where the failure to qualify may not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(c) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty are within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) its memorandum and articles of association, charter or by-laws or (ii) any law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting such Guarantor;
-5-
(d) no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty; and
(e) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor and is its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
Section 10. No Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any right, power or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof; nor shall any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon the Letter of Credit Issuer, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by the Letter of Credit Issuer. The failure by the Letter of Credit Issuer at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by any Applicant or any Guarantor of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any security agreement, agreement, guaranty, instrument or document now or at any time or times hereafter executed pursuant to the terms of, or in connection with, the Agreement by any Applicant or any Guarantor and delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Letter of Credit Issuer at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof, and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of the Letter of Credit Issuer, its agents, officers or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing duly signed and delivered by the Letter of Credit Issuer. No waiver by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same default on a future occasion, and no action by the Letter of Credit Issuer permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the Letter of Credit Issuer's rights or powers, or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any Guaranteed Obligations owing by any Applicant to the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be conclusive and binding on each Guarantor irrespective of whether such Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.
Section 11. Continuing Guaranty. This is a continuing guaranty and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect against each Guarantor until the earlier to occur of (a) Guaranty Termination and (b) termination in writing by the Letter of Credit Issuer of such Guarantor's obligation under the Security Agreement.
Section 12. [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 13. Set-Off. In addition to and without limitation of any rights, powers or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer under applicable law, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole discretion, with notice after the fact to such Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (a) any Collateral and (b) any indebtedness due or to become due from the Letter of Credit Issuer to such Guarantor.
-6-
Section 14. Taxes. Subject to Section 1(b) above, any and all payments by a Guarantor hereunder will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding income or franchise taxes imposed on the Letter of Credit Issuer's net income by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Letter of Credit Issuer is organized or any political subdivision thereof or by the jurisdiction of the Letter of Credit Issuer's lending office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being "Taxes"). If a Guarantor is required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder (a) the sum payable will be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Letter of Credit Issuer will receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Guarantor will make such deductions, and (c) such Guarantor will pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, each Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations ("Other Taxes"). Such Guarantor will promptly furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. Subject to Section 1(b) above, each Guarantor will indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, within 30 days of the Letter of Credit Issuer's request therefor. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the Guarantors' agreements and obligations contained in this Section will survive Guaranty Termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any document or agreement evidencing a Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantors and the Letter of Credit Issuer (and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other government agency or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the parties, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of the foregoing persons relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure.
Section 15. Guarantors' Credit Decision, Etc. Each Guarantor has, independently and without reliance on the Letter of Credit Issuer and based on such documents and information as such Guarantor has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from the Applicants on a continuing basis information concerning the financial condition, operations and business of the Applicants, and no Guarantor is relying on the Letter of Credit Issuer to provide such information now or in the future. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit contemplated by this Guaranty.

SECTION 3.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Secured Party to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Debtors under the L/C Agreement, each Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Party that:
3.1 Ownership of Property; No Other Liens; Transferability.
(a) Each Debtor owns and has good title to each item of the Collateral, and is the record and beneficial owner of the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, in each case free and clear of any and all Liens, options, or claims of others except for Liens permitted under Section 5.17 of the L/C Agreement.
(b) No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral has been consented to by any Debtor or is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by the L/C Agreement or any other Credit Document, there is no agreement, order, judgment or decree, and no Debtor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that could reasonably be expected to restrict the transferability of any of the Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict with such Debtor's obligations or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder.
3.2 Perfected First-Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) will, upon completion of the filing of UCC financing statements describing the Collateral in the offices located in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 3.3 and the entry into an Account Control Agreement with respect to each Collateral Account, constitute valid perfected security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Party as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Debtor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Debtor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral.
3.3 Debtor's Legal Name; Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. Each Debtor's exact legal name is set forth on the signature page hereof, and from and after an amendment or modification thereto, on a written notification delivered to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 4.3. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.3, such Debtor has not conducted business under any name other than its current name during the last five years prior to the date of this Agreement. On the date hereof, such Debtor's jurisdiction of organization, type of organization, identification number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any), and the location of such Debtor's chief executive office or sole place of business or principal residence, as the case may be, are specified on Schedule 3.3.

Each Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to the Secured Party promptly upon request. Each Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Secured Party to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.
(e) During the existence of an Event of Default,
(i) At the Secured Party's written request, each Debtor shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Secured Party with respect to such Event of Default, including diligently endeavoring to cure any material defect existing or claimed, and taking all reasonably necessary and desirable steps for the defense of any legal proceedings, including the employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the release or discharge of all adverse claims;
(ii) The Secured Party, whether or not named as a party to any legal proceedings, is authorized to take any additional steps as the Secured Party deems necessary or desirable for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of the validity or priority of this Agreement and the security interests, collateral assignments, and other Liens created hereunder, including the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, the compromise or discharge of any adverse claims made with respect to any Collateral and the payment or removal of prior liens or security interests, and the expenses of the Secured Party in taking such action shall be paid by the Debtors; and
(iii) Each Debtor agrees that, if such Debtor fails to perform under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to which such Debtor is a party, the Secured Party may, but shall not be obligated to, perform such Debtor's obligations under this Agreement or such other Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses incurred by the Secured Party in performing such Debtor's obligations shall be paid by such Debtor. Any such performance by the Secured Party may be made by the Secured Party in reasonable reliance on any statement, invoice, or claim, without inquiry into the validity or accuracy thereof. The amount and nature of any expense of the Secured Party hereunder shall be conclusively established by a certificate of any officer of the Secured Party absent manifest error, and such amount shall be included in the Secured Obligations.
(f) Each Debtor irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as such Debtor's attorney in fact, with full authority to act during the existence of an Event of Default, for such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor, to take any action and execute any agreement which the Secured Party deems necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the actions that Secured Party is expressly authorized to take pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to paragraph (e) above), and instituting proceedings the Secured Party deems necessary or desirable to enforce the rights of the Secured Party with respect to this Agreement.

Promptly following such notice to the Secured Party and before taking any action described in clause (a), (b), or (c) above, such Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party all additional approved or executed financing statements and other executed documents reasonably requested by the Secured Party to maintain the validity, perfection, and priority of the security interests provided for or required herein.
4.4 No Transfer of Collateral. No Debtor shall sell, offer to sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer, grant any option with respect to, or transfer out of a Collateral Account, any of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder or any interest therein except as permitted by the L/C Agreement.

4.5 Proceeds to be Held as Collateral. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the L/C Agreement or this Agreement, all Proceeds of any Collateral received by such Debtor hereunder shall be kept in the applicable Collateral Account. All Proceeds in a Collateral Account shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the L/C Agreement.
4.6 Collateral Accounts. For each Collateral Account, such Debtor shall take any actions requested by the Secured Party to enable the Secured Party to obtain "control" (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) with respect thereto, including executing, and causing the Account Institution with respect to such Collateral Account to execute, an Account Control Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party.

The Secured Party agrees promptly to notify such Debtor after it gives any entitlement orders or instructions to an Account Institution directing the disposition of Collateral in a Collateral Account, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such entitlement orders or instructions.
SECTION 5.
REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
During the existence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for in any other Credit Document or otherwise available to it, exercise one or more of the remedies specified elsewhere in this Agreement or the following remedies:
-4-
5.1 General Interim Remedies. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may exercise one or more of the following remedies:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Secured Party may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or any other applicable law.
(b) The Secured Party may prosecute actions in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.
(c) The Secured Party may exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Debtors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, (i) any and all rights of such Debtor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under the Collateral, (ii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds and securities from the Collateral Accounts and (iii) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 9607 of the UCC.
(d) The Secured Party may direct the disposition of, and give instructions or entitlement orders with respect to, Collateral and the Collateral Accounts, and may apply such Collateral to the Secured Obligations as it sees fit, in its sole discretion.
5.2 Foreclosure.
(a) During the existence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may foreclose on the Collateral in any manner permitted by the courts of or in the State of New York or the jurisdiction in which any Collateral is located. If the Secured Party should institute a suit against any Collateral or any Debtor for the collection of the Secured Obligations and for the foreclosure of this Agreement, the Secured Party may at any time before the entry of a final judgment dismiss the same, and take any other action permitted by this Agreement.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Secured Party may exercise all the foreclosure rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC during the existence of an Event of Default. In connection therewith, the Secured Party may sell any Collateral at public or private sale, at the office of the Secured Party or elsewhere, for cash or credit and upon such other terms as the Secured Party deems commercially reasonable. The Secured Party may sell any Collateral at one or more sales, and the security interest granted hereunder shall remain in effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral. Each Debtor agrees that to the extent permitted by law such sales may be made without notice. If notice is required by law, each Debtor hereby deems ten days advance notice of the time and place of any public or private sale reasonable notification, recognizing that if any portion of the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, shorter notice may be reasonable. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any sale by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was adjourned. In the event that any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of the Secured Party, the Secured Party shall have the right to cause subsequent sales to be made hereunder. Any statements of fact or other recitals made in any xxxx of sale, assignment, or other document representing any sale hereunder, including statements relating to the occurrence of an Event of Default, acceleration of the Secured Obligations, notice of the sale, the time, place, and terms of the sale, and other actions taken by the Secured Party in relation to the sale may be conclusively relied upon by the purchaser at any sale hereunder. The Secured Party may delegate to any agent the performance of any acts in connection with any sale hereunder, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale.
-5-
5.3 Application of Proceeds. Unless otherwise specified herein, any cash proceeds received by the Secured Party from the sale of, collection of, or other realization upon any part of the Collateral or any other amounts received by the Secured Party hereunder may be, at the reasonable discretion of the Secured Party (i) held by the Secured Party in one or more Collateral Accounts maintained with the Secured Party as cash collateral for the Secured Obligations or (ii) applied in the order specified in Section 7.03 of the L/C Agreement.
5.4 Waiver of Certain Rights. To the full extent each Debtor may do so under applicable law, such Debtor shall not insist upon, plead, claim, or take advantage of any law providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption, and such Debtor hereby waives and releases the same, and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of such Debtor, including the Collateral of such Debtor, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created. Such Debtor shall not assert any right under any law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the administration of estates of decedents or other right to defeat, reduce, or otherwise adversely affect in any respect the rights of the Secured Party under the terms of this Agreement.
5.5 Remedies Cumulative. The Secured Party's remedies under this Agreement and the Credit Documents to which any Debtor is a party shall be cumulative, and no delay in enforcing this Agreement and the Credit Documents to which any Debtor is a party shall act as a waiver of the Secured Party's rights hereunder.
5.6 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Debtor under this Agreement shall continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by the Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Debtor or any other obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
5.7 Deficiency. Each Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
-6-
SECTION 6.
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 8.01 of the L/C Agreement.
6.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Secured Party or any Debtor hereunder shall be effected in the manner and to the addresses or telecopy numbers provided for in Section 8.02 of the L/C Agreement.
6.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies; No Duty. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Credit Documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. The powers conferred on Secured Party under this Agreement are solely to protect Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except as expressly provided hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any of the Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral.
6.4 Costs and Expenses. Each Debtor agrees to pay on demand the costs and expenses of the Secured Party as set forth in Section 8.04 of the L/C Agreement.
6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Debtor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns; provided that no Debtor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
6.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
-7-
6.8 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
6.9 Integration; Direct Conflict. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of a direct conflict between this Agreement and the L/C Agreement, the L/C Agreement shall control; provided, however, the parties understand and agree that this Agreement sets forth additional covenants, obligations and rights and the parties will use all reasonable efforts to construe the provisions and covenants in this Agreement as not being in direct conflict with the L/C Agreement.
6.10 Additional Debtors. Each Subsidiary of Cameron that is required to become a party to this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to Section 6.03 of the L/C Agreement shall become a Debtor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a supplement agreement or joinder agreement in the form of Annex I, upon the execution of which such additional Debtor shall become a Debtor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Debtor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Debtor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Debtor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Debtor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Debtor as a party to this Agreement.
6.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
6.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
-8-

(c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, non- perfection, impairment, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligations of any person thereof;
(e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Guaranty even though the Lenders might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Guaranty;
(g) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Applicant or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in legal status of any Applicant;

It is agreed that each Guarantor's liability hereunder is independent of any other guaranties or other obligations at any time in effect with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof and that each Guarantor's liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other guaranties or other obligations or any provision of any applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Applicant of the Guaranteed Obligations in the manner agreed upon among the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Applicants as applicable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor guarantees that it shall pay the Letter of Credit Issuer strictly in accordance with the express terms of any document or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligation, including in the amounts and in the currency expressly agreed to thereunder, irrespective of and without giving effect to any laws of the jurisdiction where any Applicant is principally located in effect from time to time, or any order, decree or regulation in the jurisdiction where any Applicant is principally located.

Section 11. Continuing Guaranty. This is a continuing guaranty and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until Guaranty Termination.
Section 12. Place and Currency of Payment. If any Guaranteed Obligation is payable in U.S. Dollars, each Guarantor agrees to make payment hereunder to the Letter of Credit Issuer in U.S. Dollars at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx, OPS III, Xxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000. If any Obligation is payable in a currency other than U.S. Dollars (a "Non-USD Currency") and/or at a place other than the United States, and such payment is not made as and when agreed, each Guarantor agrees to, at the Letter of Credit Issuer's option, either (a) make payment in such Non-USD Currency and at the place where such Guaranteed Obligation is payable, or (b) pay the Letter of Credit Issuer in U.S. Dollars at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx, OPS III, Xxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000. In the event of a payment pursuant to clause (a) above, each Guarantor agrees to pay the Letter of Credit Issuer the equivalent of the amount of such Guaranteed Obligation in U.S. Dollars calculated at the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any payments hereunder in respect of Guaranteed Obligations that have been re-denominated into a Non-USD Currency as a result of the application of any law, order, decree or regulation in any jurisdiction other than the United States, which Guaranteed Obligations shall, for purposes of this Guaranty, be deemed to remain denominated in U.S. Dollars and payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 12.
Section 13. Set-Off. In addition to and without limitation of any rights, powers or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer under applicable law, if any Guarantor fails to pay any of its obligations hereunder when due and payable, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole discretion, with notice after the fact to such Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from the Letter of Credit Issuer to such Guarantor, and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to such Guarantor (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) at any time held by or coming into the possession of the Letter of Credit Issuer whether for deposit or otherwise.
-6-
Section 14. Taxes. Any and all payments by a Guarantor hereunder will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding income or franchise taxes imposed on the Letter of Credit Issuer's net income by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Letter of Credit Issuer is organized or any political subdivision thereof or by the jurisdiction of the Letter of Credit Issuer's lending office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being "Taxes"). If a Guarantor is required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder (a) the sum payable will be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Letter of Credit Issuer will receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Guarantor will make such deductions, and (c) such Guarantor will pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, each Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations ("Other Taxes"). Such Guarantor will promptly furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. Each Guarantor will indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, within 30 days of the Letter of Credit Issuer's request therefor. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the Guarantors' agreements and obligations contained in this Section will survive Guaranty Termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any document or agreement evidencing a Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantors and the Letter of Credit Issuer (and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other government agency or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the parties, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of the foregoing persons relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure.
Section 15. Guarantors' Credit Decision, Etc. Each Guarantor has, independently and without reliance on the Letter of Credit Issuer and based on such documents and information as such Guarantor has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from the Applicants on a continuing basis information concerning the financial condition, operations and business of the Applicants, and no Guarantor is relying on the Letter of Credit Issuer to provide such information now or in the future. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit contemplated by this Guaranty.

The obligation of each Guarantor in respect of any sum due hereunder will, notwithstanding any judgment in a Non-USD Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the date such Guarantor makes payment to the Letter of Credit Issuer of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Non-USD Currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase U.S. Dollars with such Non-USD Currency; if the U.S. Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Letter of Credit Issuer in U.S. Dollars, each Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer against such loss, and if the U.S. Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to the Letter of Credit Issuer in U.S. Dollars, the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to remit to such Guarantor such excess.
-9-
Section 22. Indemnity. Each Guarantor hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Letter of Credit Issuer and each of its directors, officers, employees and attorneys (collectively, "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses related to environmental matters) (collectively, "Losses") for which any of them may become liable or which may be incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of, related to or in connection with (i) any Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance, (ii) any transaction in which any proceeds of all or any part of the Letters of Credit are applied, (iii) breach by Cameron or any Subsidiary Applicant of any Credit Document, (iv) violation by Cameron or any Subsidiary Applicant of any Environmental Law or any other law, rule, regulation or order, (v) any investigation, litigation, or proceeding, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, arising out of or related to or in connection with any of the foregoing or any Letter of Credit or any Credit Document, including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of or honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit, (vi) any transfer, sale delivery, surrender, or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any Indemnified Party in connection with any Letter of Credit, (vii) any independent undertaking issued by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, (viii) any unauthorized Notice of Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit or error in computer transmission, (ix) an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated, (x) any third person seeking to enforce the rights of an Applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of letter of credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document, (xi) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Indemnified Party, (xii) the enforcement of this Guaranty, the Agreement or any other Credit Document or any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Guaranty, the Agreement or any Credit Document, (xiii) the Letter of Credit Issuer's performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation, or (xiv) the acts or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority or cause or event which is beyond the control of such Indemnified Party; in each case

IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 22, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. The Letter of Credit Issuer will provide Cameron prompt notice of any matter (other than matters solely among Indemnified Parties) as to which indemnification pursuant to this Section 22 is claimed. Any Indemnified Party that proposes to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give Cameron written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding.

Section 23. Contribution and Subrogation. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, each Guarantor agrees that in the event a payment shall be made on any date under this Guaranty by any Guarantor (the "Funding Guarantor"), each other Guarantor (each a "Contributing Guarantor") shall indemnify the Funding Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor as of such date and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Guarantors together with the net worth of the Funding Guarantor as of such date. Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Funding Guarantor pursuant to this Section 23 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Funding Guarantor to the extent of such payment.

Section 25. Miscellaneous.
a. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
