(d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

Section 5.5. Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5.

Section 5.8. Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9. Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (a) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (b) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The Federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Section 5.10. Title to Property; Leases. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects.

Section 5.11. Licenses, Permits, Etc.

(c) To the best knowledge of the Company, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.12. Compliance with ERISA. (a) The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material.

(b) The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans subject to Title IV of ERISA (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than $5,000,000 in the case of any single Plan and by more than $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Plans.

(i) All calculations contemplated in this Section 8.3 involving the capital stock of any Person shall be made with the assumption that all convertible Securities of such Person then outstanding and all convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of any warrants, options and other rights outstanding at such time were converted at such time and that all options, warrants and similar rights to acquire shares of capital stock of such Person were exercised at such time.

Section 8.4. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. All partial prepayments made pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be applied only to the Notes of the holders who have elected to participate in such prepayment.

Section 8.5. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date, and with the Make‑Whole Amount, if any, and the Swap Breakage Amount, if any.

From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make‑Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.6. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days. If the holders of more than 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 5 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.7. Make-Whole Amount.

(a) Make-Whole Amount with respect to Non‑Swapped Notes. The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Non-Swapped Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Non-Swapped Note over the amount of such Called Principal; provided, however, that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.

For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount with respect to any Non-Swapped Note, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means the principal of such Non-Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‑Swapped Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Non-Swapped Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Non-Swapped Note” means any Note other than a Swapped Note.

“Recognized German Bund Market Makers” means two internationally recognized dealers of German Bunds reasonably selected by holders of at least 51% of the Non‑Swapped Notes denominated in Euros.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, (a) with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‑Swapped Note denominated in Dollars, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask-side yields reported, as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”)) or, if Page PX1 (or its successor screen on Bloomberg) is unavailable, the Telerate Access Service screen which corresponds most closely to Page PX1 for the most recently issued actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond‑equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life; provided that the Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Non‑Swapped Note; and

(b) with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‑Swapped Note denominated in Euros, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the ask-side yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask‑side yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PXGE” on Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other display as may replace “Page PXGE” on Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the benchmark German Bund having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported are not ascertainable, the average of the ask-side yields as determined by Recognized German Bund Market Makers. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting quotations to bond‑equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal and (2) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal; provided that the Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Non-Swapped Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one‑twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Non-Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‑Swapped Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

(b) Make-Whole Amount with respect to Swapped Notes. The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Swapped Note Discounted Value with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount related to such Swapped Note over such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount; provided, however, that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. All payments of Make-Whole Amount in respect of any Swapped Note shall be made in Dollars.

For the purposes of determining the Make‑Whole Amount with respect to any Swapped Note, the following terms have the following meanings:

“New Swap Agreement” means any cross-currency swap agreement pursuant to which the holder of a Swapped Note is to receive payment in Dollars and which is entered into in full or partial replacement of an Original Swap Agreement as a result of such Original Swap Agreement having terminated for any reason other than a non-scheduled prepayment or a repayment of such Swapped Note prior to its scheduled maturity. The terms of a New Swap Agreement with respect to any Swapped Note do not have to be identical to those of the Original Swap Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note.

“Original Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, (x) a cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto (an “Initial Swap Agreement”) that is entered into on an arm's length basis by the original purchaser of such Swapped Note (or any affiliate thereof) in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the purchase of such Swapped Note and relates to the scheduled payments by the Company of interest and principal on such Swapped Note, under which the holder of such Swapped Note is to receive payments from the counterparty thereunder in Dollars and which is more particularly described on Schedule 8.7 hereto, (y) any Initial Swap Agreement that has been assumed (without any waiver, amendment, deletion or replacement of any material economic term or provision thereof) by a holder of a Swapped Note in connection with a transfer of such Swapped Note and (z) any Replacement Swap Agreement; and a “Replacement Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, a cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto with payment terms and provisions (other than a reduction in notional amount, if applicable) identical to those of the Initial Swap Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note that is entered into on an arm's length basis by the holder of such Swapped Note in full or partial replacement (by amendment, modification or otherwise) of such Initial Swap Agreement (or any subsequent Replacement Swap Agreement) in a notional amount not exceeding the outstanding principal amount of such Swapped Note following a non-scheduled prepayment or a repayment of such Swapped Note prior to its scheduled maturity. Any holder of a Swapped Note that enters into, assumes or terminates an Initial Swap Agreement or Replacement Swap Agreement shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter deliver to the Company a notice of the principal economic terms of the confirmation, assumption or termination related thereto.

“Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, an Original Swap Agreement or a New Swap Agreement, as the case may be.

“Swapped Note” means any Note that as of the date of the Closing is subject to a Swap Agreement covering the full principal amount of the Note. A “Swapped Note” shall no longer be deemed a “Swapped Note” at such time as the related Swap Agreement ceases to be in force in respect thereof, unless (and until) a Replacement Swap Agreement or New Swap Agreement is entered into.

“Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the payment in Dollars due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party, attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled maturity date, provided that if such Swap Agreement is not an Initial Swap Agreement, then the “Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” in respect of such Swapped Note shall not exceed the amount in Dollars which would have been due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Initial Swap Agreement to which such holder was a party (or if such holder was never party to an Initial Swap Agreement, then the last Initial Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of such Swapped Note was a party), attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled maturity date.

“Swapped Note Called Principal” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, the principal of such Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask‑side yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”)) or, if Page PX1 (or its successor screen on Bloomberg) is unavailable, the Telerate Access Service screen which corresponds most closely to Page PX1 for the most recently issued actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in U.S. Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond‑equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life. The Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Swapped Note.

Section 8.8. Swap Breakage. If any Swapped Note is prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 10.6 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, then (a) any resulting Net Loss in connection therewith shall be reimbursed to the holder of such Swapped Note by the Company in Dollars upon any such prepayment or repayment of such Swapped Note and (b) any resulting Net Gain in connection therewith shall be deducted (i) from the Make-Whole Amount, if any, or any principal or interest to be paid to the holder of such Swapped Note by the Company upon any such prepayment of such Swapped Note pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 10.6 or (ii) from the Make-Whole Amount, if any, to be paid to the holder of such Swapped Note by the Company upon any such repayment of such Swapped Note pursuant to Section 12.1, provided that, in either case, the Make-Whole Amount, in respect of such Swapped Note may in no event be less than zero. Each holder of a Swapped Note shall be responsible for calculating its own Net Loss or Net Gain, as the case may be, and Swap Breakage Amount in Dollars upon the prepayment or repayment of all or any portion of such Swapped Note, and such calculations as reported to the Company in reasonable detail shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable error.

As used in this Section 8.8 with respect to any Swapped Note that is prepaid or accelerated: “Net Loss” means the amount, if any, by which the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount exceeds the sum of (x) the Swapped Note Called Principal plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by the holder of such Swapped Note; and “Net Gain” means the amount, if any, by which the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount is exceeded by the sum of (x) the Swapped Note Called Principal plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by such holder. For purposes of any determination of any “Net Loss” or “Net Gain,” the Swapped Note Called Principal shall be determined by the holder of the affected Swapped Note by converting Euros into Dollars at the current Euros/Dollar exchange rate, as determined as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day such Swapped Note is prepaid or accelerated as indicated on the applicable screen of Bloomberg Financial Markets and any such calculation shall be reported to the Company in reasonable detail and shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable error.

As used in this Section 8.8, “Swap Breakage Amount” means, with respect to the Swap Agreement associated with any Swapped Note, in determining the Net Loss or Net Gain, the amount that would be received (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be positive) or paid (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be negative) by the holder of such Swapped Note as if such Swap Agreement had terminated due to the occurrence of an event of default with the holder of such Swapped Note as the defaulting party or an early termination with the holder of such Swapped Note as the sole affected party under the ISDA 1992 Multi-Currency Cross Border Master Agreement or ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ISDA Master Agreement”); provided, however, that if such holder (or its predecessor in interest with respect to such Swapped Note) was, but is not at the time, a party to an Original Swap Agreement but is a party to a New Swap Agreement, then the Swap Breakage Amount shall mean the lesser of (x) the gain or loss (if any) which would have been received or incurred (by payment, through off-set or netting or otherwise) by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap Agreement (if any) in respect of such Swapped Note to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) was a party (or if such holder was never a party to an Original Swap Agreement, then the last Original Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of a Swapped Note was a party) and which would have arisen as a result of the payment of the Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date and (y) the gain or loss (if any) actually received or incurred by the holder of such Swapped Note, in connection with the payment of such Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date, under the terms of the New Swap Agreement to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) is a party. The holder of such Swapped Note will make all calculations related to the Swap Breakage Amount in good faith and in accordance with its customary practices for calculating such amounts under the ISDA Master Agreement pursuant to which such Swap Agreement shall have been entered into and assuming for the purpose of such calculation that there are no other transactions entered into pursuant to such ISDA Master Agreement (other than such Swap Agreement).

The Swap Breakage Amount shall be payable in Dollars.

(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Note or of a Subsidiary Guaranty unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Section 17.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes or in any Subsidiary Guaranty to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

Section 22.5. Construction, Etc.

Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

Now, therefore, as permitted by Section 9.7 of the Note Purchase Agreement and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor does hereby covenant and agree, jointly and severally, as follows:

Section 1. Definitions.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall otherwise require.

Section 2. Guaranty of Notes and Note Purchase Agreement.

(a) Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, each Guarantor jointly and severally does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantee unto the Holders: (1) the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes from time to time outstanding, as and when such payments shall become due and payable whether by lapse of time, upon redemption or prepayment, by extension or by acceleration or declaration or otherwise (including (to the extent legally enforceable) interest due on overdue payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest at the rate set forth in the Notes and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Notes after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company, whether or not a claim for post‑filing or post‑petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) in Federal or other immediately available funds of the United States of America which at the time of payment or demand therefor shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, (2) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Company of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by the Company under the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and (3) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any Holder, of all costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including attorneys’ fees), if any, as shall have been expended or incurred in the protection or enforcement of any rights, privileges or liabilities in favor of the Holders under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or under this Guaranty or in any consultation or action in connection therewith or herewith and in each and every case irrespective of the validity, regularity, or enforcement of any of the Notes or Note Purchase Agreement or any of the terms thereof or any other like circumstance or circumstances.

(b) The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not exceed an amount equal to a maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, result in the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder not constituting a fraudulent transfer, obligation or conveyance.

Section 3. Guaranty of Payment and Performance.

This is a guarantee of payment and performance and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require that any action on or in respect of any Note or the Note Purchase Agreement be brought against the Company or any other Person or that resort be had to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. Any Holder may, at its option, proceed hereunder against any Guarantor in the first instance to collect monies when due, the payment of which is guaranteed hereby, without first proceeding against the Company or any other Person and without first resorting to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by any acceptance by any Holder of any direct or indirect security for, or other guaranties of, any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company or any other Person to any Holder or by any failure, delay, neglect or omission by any Holder to realize upon or protect any such guarantees, Debt, liability or obligation or any notes or other instruments evidencing the same or any direct or indirect security therefor or by any approval, consent, waiver, or other action taken, or omitted to be taken by any such Holder.

2.2-2

The covenants and agreements on the part of the Guarantors herein contained shall take effect as joint and several covenants and agreements, and references to the Guarantors shall take effect as references to each of them and none of them shall be released from liability hereunder by reason of the guarantee ceasing to be binding as a continuing security on any other of them.

Section 4. General Provisions Relating to the Guaranty.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that any Holder or Holders from time to time, with or without any further notice to or assent from any other Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and upon such terms and conditions as any such Holder or Holders may deem advisable:

(1) extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change, compromise, release or extend the duration of the time for the performance or payment of any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any Debt, liability or obligations of the Company on the Notes, or waive any Default with respect thereto, or waive, modify, amend or change any provision of any other agreement or this Guaranty; or

(2) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and all property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by, or for the benefit of, any such Holder as direct or indirect security for the payment or performance of any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes; or

(3) settle, adjust or compromise any claim of the Company against any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes.

Each Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension, renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and that the same shall be binding upon it, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that such Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Guaranty and remain liable hereunder.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law:

(1) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Holders or of the creation, renewal or accrual of any liability of the Company, present or future, or of the reliance of such Holders upon this Guaranty (it being understood that every Debt, liability and obligation described in Section 2 hereof shall conclusively be presumed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the execution of this Guaranty);

(2) demand of payment by any Holder from the Company or any other Person indebted in any manner on or for any of the Debt, liabilities or obligations hereby guaranteed; and

(3) presentment for the payment by any Holder or any other Person of the Notes or any other instrument, protest thereof and notice of its dishonor to any party thereto and to such Guarantor.

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the rights of any Holder to enforce such obligations by any proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination (other than by payment in full of the Notes and the obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement), whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever or otherwise and shall not be subject to any defense, set‑off, counterclaim (other than any compulsory counterclaim), recoupment or termination whatsoever.

(c) The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be binding upon the Guarantors and their successors and assigns, and shall remain in full force and effect until the entire principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and all other sums due pursuant to Section 2 shall have been paid and such obligations shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any event, including without limitation any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of the Guarantors:

(1) the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or any of the terms of any thereof, the continuance of any obligation on the part of the Company, any other Guarantors or any other Person on or in respect of the Notes or under the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or the power or authority or the lack of power or authority of the Company to issue the Notes or the Company to execute and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or of any other Guarantors to execute and deliver this Guaranty or any other agreement or to perform any of its obligations hereunder or the existence or continuance of the Company or any other Person as a legal entity; or

2.2-5

(10) the acceptance of any additional security or other guaranty, the advance of additional money to the Company or any other Person, the renewal or extension of the Notes or amendments, modifications, consents or waivers with respect to the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, or the sale, release, substitution or exchange of any security for the Notes; or

(12) any defense whatsoever that: (i) the Company or any other Person might have to the payment of the Notes (principal, premium, if any, or interest), other than payment thereof in Federal or other immediately available funds, or (ii) the Company or any other Person might have to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, whether through the satisfaction or purported satisfaction by the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person of its debts due to any cause such as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, winding‑up or otherwise, other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes; or

(13) any act or failure to act with regard to the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or anything which might vary the risk of any Guarantor or any other Person; or

(14) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the obligations of any Guarantor or other Person under this Guaranty or any other agreement, other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes;

provided that the specific enumeration of the above‑mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms whenever the same shall become due and payable as in the Notes provided and all other sums due and payable under the Note Purchase Agreement, at the place specified in and all in the manner and with the effect provided in the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement, as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Company shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Company under the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default.

2.2-6

(d) All rights of any Holder may be transferred or assigned at any time and shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of such Note whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Guarantors under this Guaranty or to the Company.

(e) To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holder or Holders upon whose Notes such payment was made, but each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible final payment in cash in full of all amounts due and owing by the Company with respect to the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and by the Guarantors under this Guaranty, and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of subrogation, and the Guarantors shall not accept any payment in respect of such right of subrogation, until all amounts due and owing by the Company under or in respect of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and all amounts due and owing by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the indefeasible payment in cash in full of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement and this Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Holders to be credited and applied to the amounts due or to become due with respect to the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Note Purchase Agreement and this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has received direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this paragraph (e) is knowingly made as a result of the receipt of such benefits.

(f) To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, each Guarantor making such payment shall have a right of contribution from the other Guarantors, but such Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of contribution shall be subordinate in right of payment to the rights of the Holders for which full payment has not been made or provided for and, to that end, such Guarantor agrees not to claim or enforce any such right of contribution unless and until all of the Notes and all other sums due and payable under the Note Purchase Agreement have been fully and irrevocably paid and discharged.

(g) Each Guarantor agrees that to the extent the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person makes any payment on any Note, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any Holder from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity, or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person.

2.2-7

(h) No Holder shall be under any obligation: (1) to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantors or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Company under or in respect of the Notes or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder or (2) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantors may or may not be able to pursue themselves and that may lighten the Guarantors’ burden, any right to which each Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

(i) The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Debt of such Guarantor which is not secured or which is not expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt of such Guarantor.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties of the Guarantors.

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each Holder that:

(a) Such Guarantor is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (1) the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of such Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) the ability of such Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, or (3) the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty (herein in this Section 5, a “Material Adverse Effect”). Such Guarantor has the power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions hereof.

(b) This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Guarantor, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (1) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, charter document or by‑law, or any other agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries.

2.2-8

(d) No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty.

(e) Such Guarantor is solvent, has capital not unreasonably small in relation to its business or any contemplated or undertaken transaction and has assets having a value both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value greater than the amount required to pay its debts as they become due and greater than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Such Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believe or should have believed that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due. Such Guarantor will not be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty. Such Guarantor does not intend to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors by or through the execution and delivery of, or performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty.

Section 6. Guarantor Covenants.

From and after the date of issuance of the Notes by the Company and continuing so long as any amount remains unpaid thereon each Guarantor agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement, insofar as such provisions apply to such Guarantor, as if said Sections were set forth herein in full.

[Section 7. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.]

[In the event any Guarantor is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, the following Section 7 shall be added to the Guaranty]

[All payments whatsoever under this Guaranty will be made by such Guarantor in lawful currency of the United States of America (“Dollars”) or Euros in accordance with Section 22.9 of the Note Purchase Agreement free and clear of, and without liability or withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction other than the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in such jurisdiction) (hereinafter a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is compelled by law.

If any deduction or withholding for any Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be paid by a Guarantor under this Guaranty, such Guarantor will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each Holder such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty after such deduction, withholding or payment (including without limitation any required deduction or withholding of Tax on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such Holder under the terms of this Guaranty before the assessment of such Tax, provided that no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:

2.2-9

(a) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the Holder to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such Tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof, including without limitation such Holder (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to a Tax that would not have been imposed but for such Guarantor, after the date of the Closing, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of this Guaranty or the Notes are made to, the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing the relevant Tax;

(b) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such Holder (following a written request by such Guarantor) in the filing with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of Forms (as defined below) that are required to be filed by such Holder to avoid or reduce such Taxes and that in the case of any of the foregoing would not result in any confidential or proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such Holder, provided that such Holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (b) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms as may be specified in a written request of such Guarantor no later than 60 days after receipt by such Holder of such written request (accompanied by copies of such Forms and related instructions, if any, all in the English language or with an English translation thereof); or

and provided further that in no event shall such Guarantor be obligated to pay such additional amounts (i) to any Holder not resident in the United States of America or any other jurisdiction in which an original Purchaser is resident for tax purposes on the date of the Closing in excess of the amounts that such Guarantor would be obligated to pay if such Holder had been a resident of the United States of America or such other jurisdiction, as applicable, for purposes of, and eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty at the time in effect between the United States of America or such other jurisdiction and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (ii) to any Holder registered in the name of a nominee if under the law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation of such law) securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant Tax and such Guarantor shall have given timely notice of such law or interpretation to such Holder.

2.2-10

By acceptance of any Note, each Holder agrees that it will from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by such Guarantor all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such Holder by such Guarantor (collectively, together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such Holder in order to avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the United States and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide such Guarantor with such information with respect to such Holder as such Guarantor may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms, provided that nothing in this Section 7 shall require any Holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such Holder such Form or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary to such Holder, and provided further that each such Holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly completed and delivered by such Holder to such Guarantor or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority, whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of such Guarantor (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of any such Form not in the English language) and, in the case of a transfer of any Note, at least 90 days prior to the relevant interest payment date.

On or before the date of the Closing such Guarantor will furnish you with copies of the appropriate Form (and English translation if required as aforesaid) currently required to be filed in a Taxing Jurisdiction pursuant to clause (b) of the first paragraph of this Section 7, if any, and in connection with the transfer of any Note such Guarantor will furnish the transferee of such Note with copies of any Form and English translation then required.

If any payment is made by such Guarantor to or for the account of the Holder of any Note after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and increased payments are made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Section 7, then, if such Holder at its sole discretion determines that it has received or been granted a refund of such Taxes, such Holder shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, reimburse to such Guarantor such amount as such Holder shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of any Holder to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no Holder shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of such Tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in clause (b) above) oblige any Holder to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

Such Guarantor will furnish the Holders, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by such Guarantor of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under this Guaranty, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of such Guarantor, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any Holder.

2.2-11

If such Guarantor makes payment to or for the account of any Holder and such Holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other than a Form described above), then such Holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from such Guarantor (which shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by such Guarantor, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above.

The obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 7 shall survive the payment or transfer of any Note and the provisions of this Section 7 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.]

Section 8. Governing Law.

(a) This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable therein.

(b) Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating solely to this Guaranty or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(d) Each Guarantor consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding solely by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified or priority mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivering a copy thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 11, to [____________], as its agent for the purpose of accepting service of any process in the United States. Such Guarantor agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

2.2-12

(e) Nothing in this Section 8 shall affect the right of any Holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the Holders may have to bring proceedings against such Guarantor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(f) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints [____________] to receive for it, and on its behalf, service of process in the United States.

(g) The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Guaranty, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

Section 9. Judgments.

(a) Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder in Dollars which is made to or for the account of any Holder in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of such Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of such Guarantor under this Guaranty only to the extent of the amount of Dollars which such Holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of Dollars that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars originally due to such Holder, such Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such Holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Guaranty, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such Holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under the Notes or under any judgment or order. As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

(b) Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder in Euros which is made to or for the account of any Holder in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of such Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of such Guarantor under this Guaranty only to the extent of the amount of Euros which such Holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of Euros that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Euros originally due to such Holder, such Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such Holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Guaranty, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such Holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under the Notes or under any judgment or order. As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

2.2-13

Section 10. Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

(a) This Guaranty may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders.

(b) The Guarantors will provide each Holder (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders.

(c) The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any Holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(d) Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 10 applies equally to all Holders and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantors. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Guarantors and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and references thereto shall mean this Guaranty as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

(e) Solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Guarantor, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

2.2-14

Section 11. Notices; English Language.

(1) if to an Initial Note Purchaser or such Initial Note Purchaser’s nominee, to such Initial Note Purchaser or such Initial Note Purchaser’s nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement, or at such other address as such Initial Note Purchaser or such Initial Note Purchaser’s nominee shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Company in writing,

(2) if to any other Holder, to such Holder at such address as such Holder shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Company in writing, or

(3) if to any Guarantor, to such Guarantor c/o the Company at its address set forth at the beginning of the Note Purchase Agreement to the attention of [______________], or at such other address as such Guarantor shall have specified to the Holders in writing.

Notices under this Section 11 will be deemed given only when actually received.

[In the event any Guarantor is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, the following paragraphs shall be added to Section 11 of the Guaranty]

[Each document, instrument, financial statement, report, notice or other communication delivered in connection with this Guaranty shall be in English or accompanied by an English translation thereof.]

[This Guaranty has been prepared and signed in English and the parties hereto agree that the English version hereof and thereof (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) shall be the only version valid for the purpose of the interpretation and construction hereof and thereof notwithstanding the preparation of any translation into another language hereof or thereof, whether official or otherwise or whether prepared in relation to any proceedings which may be brought in [____________] or any other jurisdiction in respect hereof or thereof.]

Section 12. Miscellaneous.

(a) No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under the Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in any proceedings instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.

2.2-15

(b) The Guarantors will pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified in the Note Purchase Agreement, or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantors in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note.

(c) Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d) If the whole or any part of this Guaranty shall be now or hereafter become unenforceable against any one or more of the Guarantors for any reason whatsoever or if it is not executed by any one or more of the Guarantors, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be and remain fully binding upon and enforceable against each other Guarantor as if it had been made and delivered only by such other Guarantors.

(e) This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding and unpaid.

(f) This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 13. Indemnity.

To the fullest extent of applicable law, each Guarantor shall indemnify and save each Holder harmless from and against any losses which may arise by virtue of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed being or becoming for any reason whatsoever in whole or in part void, voidable, contrary to law, invalid, ineffective or otherwise unenforceable by the Holder or any of them in accordance with its terms (all of the foregoing collectively, an “Indemnifiable Circumstance”). For greater certainty, these losses shall include without limitation all obligations hereby guaranteed which would have been payable by the Company but for the existence of an Indemnifiable Circumstance, net of any withholding or deduction of or on account of any Relevant Tax in accordance with Section 7 hereof; provided, however, that the extent of the Guarantor’s aggregate liability under this Section 13 shall not at any time exceed the amount (but for any Indemnifiable Circumstance) otherwise guaranteed pursuant to Section 2.

Schedule 1 hereto

May 3, 2017

Re:	Sensient Technologies Corporation $27,000,000 3.65% Senior Notes, Series G, due May 3, 2024 €50,000,000.01 1.27% Senior Notes, Series H, due May 3, 2024 €39,999,999.99 1.71% Senior Notes, Series I, due May 3, 2027

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have acted as special New York counsel to Sensient Technologies Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the Issuer), in connection with (a) the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2017 (the Note Purchase Agreement), entered into by the Issuer with each of the purchasers named in Schedule A thereto (each, a Purchaser), (b) the issue and sale of the $27,000,000 3.65% Senior Notes, Series G, due May 3, 2024, €50,000,000.01 1.27% Senior Notes, Series H, due May 3, 2024 and €39,999,999.99 1.71% Senior Notes, Series I, due May 3, 2027 purchased by you on the date hereof pursuant thereto (the Notes), and (c) the Amendment Agreements, each amending the respective Existing Agreements as set out in Schedule 2 hereto. We refer to the Amendment Agreements, the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement as the 2017 Documents. We refer to the 2017 Documents and the Existing Agreements, as amended by the Amendment Agreements, as the Opinion Documents.

The opinions expressed below are furnished to you at the request of the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(i) of the Note Purchase Agreement and Section 4.1(e) of each Amendment Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have their respective meanings attributed thereto in Schedule B to the Note Purchase Agreement. As used herein, the term Material Adverse Effect means a material adverse effect on the business, operations, property or financial condition of the Issuer.

A.	SCOPE OF REVIEW AND RELIANCE

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have reviewed the Opinion Documents and made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. As to certain matters of fact material to the opinions expressed, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the Opinion Documents, officer’s certificates and documents provided by the Issuer and others. We have not independently verified or established the facts so relied on.

Exhibit 4.4(a)(i)
(to Note Purchase Agreement)

B.	ASSUMPTIONS

We have made the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified or established and on which we express no opinion:

We have assumed the legal capacity of all signatories, the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to original Opinion Documents and the completeness of all Opinion Documents submitted to us as copies or received by us by facsimile or other electronic transmission, and the authenticity and completeness of the originals of those Opinion Documents and of all Opinion Documents submitted to us as originals.

We have assumed that each party to the 2017 Documents is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where each party is required to be so qualified, has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the 2017 Documents to which it is a party, and has duly authorized, executed and delivered those 2017 Documents, and that the 2017 Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the parties to them (other than the Issuer), enforceable against those parties (other than the Issuer) in accordance with their respective terms. We have assumed that each party to the Existing Agreements is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where each party is required to be so qualified, has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Existing Agreements to which it is a party, and has duly authorized, executed and delivered those Existing Agreements, and that the Existing Agreements constitute the valid and binding obligations of the parties to them (including the Issuer), enforceable against those parties (including the Issuer) in accordance with their respective terms.

We have assumed that, to the extent we have not expressly opined thereon in paragraphs C.2 below, all authorizations, approvals and consents of, and all filings and registrations with, governmental and regulatory authorities and agencies required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Opinion Documents have been obtained or made. We have assumed that the Issuer is not party to any agreement, or subject to any writ or order, that might affect any of our opinions below.

We have assumed, to the extent we have not expressly opined thereon in paragraphs C.3 below, the execution, delivery and performance of the Opinion Documents by the respective parties thereto did not, do not and will not contravene or conflict with any law, rule or regulation binding upon such party, the constitutive documents of any party, any agreement or instrument to which any such party is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or any judicial or administrative judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon any such party or its properties.

5.	We have assumed that the purchase and sale of the Notes will be made in compliance with, and in the manner contemplated by, the Note Purchase Agreement and that each Purchaser is acquiring its Notes without any present intention to distribute the Notes.

We have assumed as to matters of fact the accuracy of the representations and warranties, and compliance with the agreements, contained in the Note Purchase Agreement (and there are no facts, circumstances or matters that may be material to the opinions set out herein and that have not been disclosed to us) and due performance by each of them and any other applicable person of the undertakings and agreements set forth therein.

E-4.4(a)(i)-2

7.	We have assumed that there is no other agreement that modifies the agreements expressed in the Opinion Documents, and that all representations and warranties of the parties in the Opinion Documents as to factual matters are true and correct.

8.	We have assumed that the Issuer has received the agreed to and stated consideration for the incurrence of the obligations applicable to it under the terms of the Opinion Documents.

OPINIONS

Based on the foregoing and subject to the limitations and qualifications below, we are of the opinion that:

1.	Each of the 2017 Documents constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms.

No authorization, approval or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the United States or of the State of New York is required on the part of the Issuer under Applicable Law for the execution, delivery or performance by the Issuer of the 2017 Documents (other than (i) the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement and the Amendment Agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) any consents, authorizations, approvals, registrations, notices, filings and declarations that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (iii) those consents, authorizations, approvals, notices and filings that, individually or in the aggregate, if not obtained or made would not to our knowledge have a Material Adverse Effect).

3.	The execution and delivery by the Issuer of the 2017 Documents do not, and the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the 2017 Documents will not, result in any violation of any Applicable Laws (as defined in D.2 below).

4.	Each of the Existing Agreements, as amended by its respective Amendment Agreement, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms.

It is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Note, under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, to register the Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to qualify an indenture in respect of the Note under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. We express no opinion as to when or under what circumstances the Notes may be subsequently reoffered or resold.

D.	LIMITATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Our opinions are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, preference, equitable subordination, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and to possible judicial action giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights. Our opinions are also subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. We give no opinion as to the availability of equitable remedies.

E-4.4(a)(i)-3

We are admitted to practice in the State of New York, and our opinions are limited to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and exclude any securities or "blue sky" laws of any state (including the State of New York) and any respective rules or regulations issued thereunder. In addition, (a) our opinions expressed herein do not address (i) the effect on our opinions of laws not addressed by our opinions or (ii) except as expressly opined in paragraphs C.1 and C.4 above, the performance or enforcement of any provision of the Opinion Documents in any jurisdiction or (iii) the tax laws or regulations of the United States, the State of New York or any other jurisdiction, and none of our opinions should be construed, directly or indirectly, as tax advice; and (b) we have not investigated and do not express any opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Applicable Laws. For purposes of this opinion, Applicable Laws means those laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America, and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, that in our experience are normally applicable to transactions of the type provided in the Opinion Documents. Furthermore, the term Applicable Laws does not include, and we express no opinion with regard to (a) state (including the State of New York) securities laws, (b) any state (including the State of New York) or federal law, rule or regulation applicable to any party solely because of the specific nature or source of the assets or business of any party to the Opinion Documents or any affiliate of any such party, (c) the Commodity Exchange Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, (d) employee benefit, pension or antitrust laws, or (e) any state or federal antifraud laws or any similar laws, or any state or federal laws relating to foreign assistance, corrupt practices, terrorism or money laundering. We have been retained as special New York and United States counsel to the Issuer solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Opinion Documents, are not representing the Issuer in any other capacity and are not familiar with the nature and full extent of their respective assets, activities and operations. Our engagement has been limited to specific matters as to which we have been consulted by the Issuer and we are not generally familiar with the legal affairs of the Issuer or the regulatory regimes to which the Issuer is subject. Accordingly, our opinions with respect to the Issuer as to the execution, delivery and performance of the Opinion Documents and governmental consents, filings and registrations cover only laws that a New York lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being applicable to the Issuer or the Opinion Documents and do not cover laws that are applicable solely because of the specific nature or source of the assets or business of any party to the Opinion Documents or any affiliate of any such party.

3.	The selection of New York law as the governing law of the Opinion Documents is expressly permitted by New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, but the enforceability of this selection may be subject to limitations under the Constitution of the United States of America.

We note that, under certain circumstances, the U.S. federal courts located in the State of New York may decline to exercise subject-matter jurisdiction to adjudicate a controversy relating to or arising under the Opinion Documents. Furthermore, despite any waivers contained in the Opinion Documents, a court of the State of New York or a U.S. federal court has the power to transfer or dismiss an action on the grounds that the court is an inconvenient forum for that action.

We note that effective enforcement of a foreign currency claim in the courts of the State of New York or the U.S. federal courts sitting in the State of New York may be limited by requirements that the claim (or a foreign currency judgment in respect of the claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of judgment or decree by the New York court or U.S. federal court.

6.	We express no opinion as to the enforceability of:

(a)

any indemnification or contribution provision that is contrary to public policy;

(b)

any waiver of any applicable defenses, rights of set-off or counterclaims that are not capable of waiver; or

E-4.4(a)(i)-4

(c)

any provision relating to the severability of provisions in the Opinion Documents.

7.	The enforceability of provisions in the Opinion Documents to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

Certain of the provisions in the Opinion Documents may be limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable laws, but in our opinion those laws do not make the remedies afforded by the Opinion Documents inadequate for the practical realization of the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Opinion Documents.

We have assumed that if the U.S. federal courts are found to be an appropriate forum for the enforcement of rights and obligations under the Opinion Documents, that jurisdiction would be based on the diversity of the parties to the action. Diversity may not in fact exist as a basis for federal jurisdiction in an action against a party to the Opinion Documents if any party to the action maintains a place of business in any state of the United States in which another party to the action is organized or maintains a place of business or if more than one party to the action is incorporated or organized outside of the United States.

10.	We have assumed that consent to the choice of law provision in the Opinion Documents were not obtained from any party to the Opinion Documents by improper means or mistake.

11.	We express no opinion as to matters of fact.

12.	We undertake no obligation to advise you or any other person of changes in law or fact that occur or that are disclosed to us after the date of this letter, whether or not such change may affect any of the opinions expressed herein.

The opinions expressed herein are solely for your benefit and, without our prior written consent, neither our opinions nor this opinion letter may be disclosed publicly to or relied upon by any other person, except that any holder of a Note (a) may show this opinion letter to a prospective transferee, and provide a copy of this opinion letter to a transferee, of a Note transferred in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and (b) may show a copy of this opinion letter to any governmental authority pursuant to requirements of applicable law or regulations or the United States National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any rating agency reviewing the investment holdings of such holder.

Sincerely yours,

Form of Opinion of General Counsel for the Company

[Form assumes no Guaranty will be delivered at Closing]

May 3, 2017

To each of the Addressees

listed on Schedule I hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Sensient Technologies Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), and I am furnishing this opinion to you pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii) of the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2017 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), entered into by the Company with each of the purchasers named in Schedule A thereto. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms defined in the Note Purchase Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, I have examined and relied on the following (including, but not limited to, the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained therein):

1. originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes purchased by you today pursuant thereto (collectively, the “Documents”);

2. such corporate documents and records of the Company and such other instruments and certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and other Persons as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion; and

I have made such investigations of law as I have deemed appropriate as a basis for this opinion.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, I have assumed, with your permission, without independent investigation or inquiry, (a) the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to me as originals, (b) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of officers of the Company) on all documents that I examined, (c) the conformity to authentic originals and completeness of documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and (d) the enforceability of each Document against each party thereto (other than the Company).

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the qualifications hereinafter set forth, I am of the opinion that:

Exhibit 4.4(a)(ii)

(to Note Purchase Agreement)

1. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its respective property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, property or financial condition of the Company.

2. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Documents and to issue and deliver the Notes. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Documents and the consummation of the transactions set forth therein have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action of the Company.

3. The Documents have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company.

4. No consent or authorization of, approval by, notice to, or filing with, any United States federal or Wisconsin governmental authority is required under United States federal or Wisconsin law to be obtained or made on or prior to the date hereof by the Company in connection with its execution and delivery of, or performance of its payment obligations under, the Documents or in connection with the validity or enforceability against it of the Documents, except for (i) the filing of a Current Report on Form 8‑K with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) any consents, authorizations, approvals, registrations, notices, filings and declarations that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (iii) those consents, authorizations, approvals, notices and filings that, individually or in the aggregate, if not obtained or made would not to my knowledge have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, property or financial condition of the Company.

5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Documents, the issue and sale of the Notes, and the performance by the Company of its payment obligations under the Documents, all as provided therein, (x) will not violate (i) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (ii) any existing judgment, order or decree known to me of any arbitrator, court or other governmental authority binding upon the Company or to which the Company is subject, (iii) any existing law, rule or regulation of the United States or the State of Wisconsin applicable to the Company or (iv) any material agreement known to me and binding upon the Company, and (y) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the properties or revenues of the Company. Neither the issuance of the Notes, nor the intended use of the proceeds of the Notes (as set forth in Section 5.14 of the Note Purchase Agreement), will violate Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

E-4.4(a)(ii)-2

6. To my knowledge, there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or proceedings against the Company before any court, governmental agency or other regulatory authority or arbitrator which purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Documents or which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Company.

7. None of the Company, any Person controlling the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company is an “Investment Company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

8. The rates of interest provided in the Documents do not violate any law, rule or regulation of the State of Wisconsin relating to interest or usury.

I am admitted to the bar in the State of Wisconsin. I express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Wisconsin and the laws of the United States of America, as currently in effect, in each case that in my experience are generally applicable to transactions of this type. Insofar as my foregoing opinions depend on matters governed by the laws of any other jurisdiction, I have assumed, with your permission and without investigation, that the laws of such other jurisdiction are the same as those of the State of Wisconsin. This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof and I assume no responsibility to update my opinion due to any change in fact or law.

The opinions expressed herein are solely for your benefit and, without my prior written consent, neither my opinions nor this opinion letter may be disclosed publicly to or relied upon by any other person, except that any holder of a Note (a) may show this opinion letter to a prospective transferee, and provide a copy of this opinion letter to a transferee, of a Note transferred in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and (b) may show a copy of this opinion letter to any governmental authority pursuant to requirements of applicable law or regulations or the United States National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any rating agency reviewing the investment holdings of such holder.

Very truly yours,
