To each of the Lenders party to the Five Year Series A Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement referred to below, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as L/C Issuer and Bank of America, N.A. as L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent:
| Re: | | Five Year Series A Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreementdated as of November 6, 2006 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(v) of the Five Year Series A Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2006 (the“Letter of Credit Agreement”), by and among Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (the“Company”), Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (Delaware)(“CB&I Delaware”), CBI Services, Inc. (“CBIServices”), CB&I Constructors, Inc.(“CB&I Constructors”), CB&I Tyler Company(“CB&I Tyler”), Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as issuers of letters of credit (each an“L/C Issuer” and collectively, the“L/C Issuers”), the participating lending institutions from time to time party thereto (the“Lenders”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent(“Administrative Agent”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Letter of Credit Agreement.
In rendering the opinions expressed below, I have acted as counsel to CB&I Delaware, CBI Services, CB&I Constructors and CB&I Tyler (collectively, the“Credit Parties”), and have examined executed originals of the Letter of Credit Agreement, the Parent Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Credit-Linked Notes and the form of Term Notes (collectively, the“Opinion Documents”). We have also examined such records of the Credit Parties and agreements, instruments and other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
In rendering this opinion to you, I have assumed, without inquiry:
(a) (i) the genuineness of all signatures other than those on behalf of the Credit Parties on original copies of the Opinion Documents; (ii) the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals; (iii) the due organization, valid existence and good standing of each party to the Opinion Documents other than the Credit Parties and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Opinion Documents by each of the parties thereto other than the Credit Parties and (iv) the validity and enforceability of the Opinion Documents against each of the parties thereto other than the Credit Parties;
| | |
| | |
| | November 6, 2006 Page 2 |
(b) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Opinion Documents by each party thereto do not conflict with or constitute a violation of any law or governmental rule or regulation of (i) the State of Delaware other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or (ii) any jurisdiction other than the United States of America and the States of Illinois and Texas;
(c) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Opinion Documents by each party thereto other than the Credit Parties do not breach, conflict with or constitute a violation of or default under (i) the certificate or articles of association or incorporation, bylaws or any other charter or governing document of such party; (ii) any agreement, instrument or document to which any such party was, or is, a party or by which any such party or any of its properties was, or is, bound or (iii) any order, judgment or decree to which any such party was, or is, bound or subject or by which any of its properties was, or is, bound; and
(d) that any consideration contemplated to be given on the Closing Date by any party in any of the Opinion Documents was given on the Closing Date.
Based upon the foregoing assumptions and subject to the limitations, qualifications and exceptions hereinafter set forth, I am of the opinion that:
1. Each Credit Party on the date hereof (a) is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in its jurisdiction of incorporation and each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected, individually and in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Opinion Document to which it is a party including to borrow in accordance with the Opinion Documents.
2. The execution, delivery and performance of each Opinion Document by the Credit Parties, (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of such Credit Party, and each of such Opinion Documents, other than the Term Notes, has been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party, and (b) will not (i) (A) violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws of such Credit Party (B) violate, breach or result in a default under, any existing obligation of or restriction on such Credit Party under any other agreement, instrument or indenture, or (C) breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of or restriction on such Credit Party under any order, judgment or decree of any Delaware, Texas, New York or federal court or governmental authority of the United States binding on such Credit Party.
| | |
| | |
| | November 6, 2006 Page 3 |
3. To my knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against or threatened against or affecting any of the Credit Parties before any court, governmental or regulatory authority or arbitrator, which seeks to affect the enforceability of any of the Opinion Documents to which such Credit Party is a party or which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Credit Party to perform its obligations under such Opinion Documents.
4. None of the Credit Parties is an investment company or a company controlled by an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
5. Neither the extension of credit nor the application of the proceeds thereof by the Credit Parties pursuant to the terms of the Opinion Documents will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
6. No order, consent, permit, approval or other authorization by any governmental authority of the State of Texas is required for any Credit Party to enter into any of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party or for such Credit Party to perform its obligations thereunder.
7. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of, and the consummation by each Credit Party of the transactions contemplated by, the Opinion Documents to which such Credit Party is a party do not violate any federal or State of Texas statute, law, rule or regulation; provided, that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation to which such Credit Party may be subject as a result of the legal or regulatory status of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or any Lender.
My opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:
A. I express no opinion as to the Lenders’ right to collect any payment to the extent that such payment constitutes a penalty, forfeiture or late charge.
B. I express no opinion as to the applicability of Section 548 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or of any provisions of any state fraudulent conveyance statute or law to the transactions contemplated by the Opinion Documents.
The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the federal laws of the United States, the laws of the States of Illinois and Texas and the DGCL, and I do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
This opinion is rendered solely to, and is intended solely for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Opinion Documents. This opinion may not be relied upon by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or any of their respective successors and assigns for any other purpose, or by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, in each case without my prior written consent;provided, however, you may deliver a copy of this opinion to your accountants, attorneys, and other professional advisors, to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, including, without limitation, the National Association of Insurance

No order, consent, permit, approval or other authorization by any governmental authority of the State of New York or the federal government of the United States of America, is required for any Credit Party to enter into any of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party or for such Credit Party to perform its obligations thereunder.
3. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of, and the consummation by each Credit Party of the transactions contemplated by, the Opinion Documents to which such Credit Party is a party do not violate any federal or State of New York statute. law, rule or regulation;provided, that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation to which such Credit Party may be subject as a result of the legal or regulatory status of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or any Lender.

M. | | Each of (x) the submission by the Company to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York or the United States for the Southern District of such State pursuant to Section 10.14 of the Credit Agreement, (y) the submission by the Company to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York pursuant to Section 13 of the Parent Guaranty and (z) the submission by CB&I B.V. to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the State of New York pursuant to Section 14 of the Subsidiary Guaranty, is valid and binding upon the Company or CB&I B.V., as the case may be, under the laws of The Netherlands, insofar as the laws of the Netherlands are applicable, except that such submission to jurisdiction is void if any court of the State of New York sitting in New York or of the United States Southern District of such State, or any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, as the case may be, would refuse to apply an international mandatory rule of Dutch law, that is a rule of Dutch private international law which specifies the governing law in a particular situation and which does not permit any deviation from such governing law by agreement of the parties. |
|
N. | | In the absence of an applicable treaty between The Netherlands and the United States of America, a judgment rendered by a court in the State of New York will not be directly enforceable in The Netherlands. In order to obtain a judgment which is enforceable in The Netherlands, the claim must be reheard on its merits before a competent court in The Netherlands. However (i) a final judgment (which is a judgment not subject to being contested by appeal or other means) for the payment of money (other than a judgment for the payment of a fine or penalty or for the payment of punitive damages, as to which we express no opinion) rendered (x) against the Company or a Co-Obligor, in respect of a breach by the Company or such Co-Obligor of its payment obligations under the Credit Agreement, by a court of the State of New York sitting in New York or of the United States for the Southern District of such State, acting pursuant to the acceptance by the Company or the relevant Co-Obligor, as the case may be, of the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court pursuant to Section 10.14 of the Credit Agreement, or (y) against the Company in respect of a breach by the Company of its payment obligations under the Parent Guaranty, by any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, acting pursuant to the acceptance by the Company of the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court pursuant to Section 13 of the Parent Guaranty or (z) against CB&I B.V. in respect of a breach by CB&I B.V. of its payment obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, by any |
11
| | state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, acting pursuant to the acceptance by CB&I B.V. of the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court pursuant to Section 14 of the Subsidiary Guaranty, will under current practice be recognized by a Dutch court if (1) such judgment results from proceedings compatible with Dutch concepts of due process, (2) such judgment and its enforcement do not violate the public policy of The Netherlands, (3) the court that rendered such judgment (x) had jurisdiction under the relevant laws applicable in the State of New York and (y) did not assume jurisdiction on grounds incompatible with internationally recognised principles in respect of jurisdictional matters and (4) such judgment does not conflict with any other final judgment rendered between the same parties and (ii) the court in The Netherlands that so recognises a judgment granted against the Company, CB&I B.V. or a Co-Obligor as described in clause (i) of this sentence will under current practice generally grant the same monetary relief (other than a judgment for the payment of a fine or penalty or for the payment of punitive damages, as to which we express no opinion) set forth in such judgment without the necessity for relitigation on the merits. |
|
O. | | Under the laws of The Netherlands, neither the Company nor CB&I B.V. is entitled to invoke on the grounds of sovereignty, in respect of any legal proceedings arising out of its obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Parent Guaranty or the Subsidiary Guaranty, immunity from service of process in legal proceedings brought before a court in the Netherlands. Under the laws of The Netherlands, insofar as the laws of The Netherlands are applicable, none of the Co-Obligors is entitled to invoke on the grounds of sovereignty in respect of any legal proceedings arising out of its obligations under the Credit Agreement immunity from service of process in legal proceedings brought before a court in The Netherlands. |
|
P. | | No Co-Obligor will be subject to income taxation in The Netherlands only by reason of (i) the execution (ondertekening) or delivery (overhandiging) by such Co-Obligor of the Credit Agreement, (ii) the enforcement against any Co-Obligor of the Credit Agreement in legal proceedings before the courts of The Netherlands or (iii) the performance by the Lenders of their contractual obligations under the Credit Agreement. |
|
Q. | | All amounts payable by the Company or CB&I B.V. under the Credit Agreement, the Parent Guaranty or the Subsidiary Guaranty may be made free from withholding or deduction of or for any taxes of whatever nature imposed, assessed, withheld or levied by The Netherlands or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. |
|
R. | | No stamp or registration or similar taxes or charges are payable in The Netherlands in respect of the execution and delivery of any of the Credit Documents. |
12
The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following exceptions, limitations, qualifications and assumptions:
(i) | | The use of the terms “enforceable”, “enforceability”, “valid”, “binding” and “effective” where used in paragraphs A. through R. above means that the obligations assumed by the relevant party under the relevant agreement are of a type which Dutch law generally recognizes or enforces; it does not mean that these obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular, enforcement before the courts of The Netherlands will in any event be subject to the matters set forth in paragraphs (ii) through (xv) below. |
|
(ii) | | The opinions expressed herein may be affected or limited by and are subject in all respects to the provisions of applicable law concerning bankruptcy (faillissement), insolvency, fraudulent conveyance (actio Pauliana), preferential transfers (e.g. Article 47 Faillissementswet), statutory merger (juridische fusie), statutory demerger (splitsing), moratorium (surséance van betaling), setoff, abatement (matiging), counterclaim, statute of limitations (verjaring) and compulsory dissolution (ontbinding) of a company, and other laws now or hereafter in effect, relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally. |
|
(iii) | | The rights and obligations of the parties to the Credit Documents are, to the extent that the laws of The Netherlands are applicable and also possibly in the event that enforcement by a court in The Netherlands of any of the Credit Documents, or of a judgment rendered against the Company, CB&I B.V. or a Co-Obligor based on the Credit Documents, is sought, subject to the principles of reasonableness and fairness (beginselen van redelijkheid en billijkheid), which under Dutch law govern the relationship between the parties to a contract and which in certain circumstances may limit or preclude the reliance on, or enforcement of, contractual terms and provisions. |
|
(iv) | | The enforcement in The Netherlands of the Credit Documents would be subject to the rules of civil procedure as applied by the Dutch courts. |
|
(v) | | Specific performance (reële executie) and other remedies analogous to common law equitable remedies such as injunctive relief may not always be available under Dutch law. |
13
(vi) | | A provision which stipulates that certain documents constitute conclusive evidence may not be enforceable in all circumstances. |
|
(vii) | | If a specific provision in any of the Credit Documents permits concurrent proceedings to be brought in different jurisdictions at the same time relating to the same subject matter, such provisions may not be enforceable in The Netherlands. |
|
(viii) | | Article 242 of the Dutch Code of Civil Procedure may limit the enforcement in proceedings before a Dutch court of contractual provisions providing for indemnification for attorney’s fees and collection costs (buitengerechtelijke kosten). |
|
(ix) | | Under Dutch law each power of attorney (volmacht) or mandate (lastgeving) (including all appointments of process agents or other agents or attorneys-in-fact), whether or not by its terms stated to be irrevocable, granted by the Company or CB&I B.V., expressly or by implication, in any of the Credit Documents will terminate without notice by force of law upon bankruptcy of the Company or CB&I B.V., as the case may be, or of the person to whom the power of attorney (volmacht) or mandate (lastgeving) is granted. |
|
(x) | | Powers of attorney granted by the Company or CB&I B.V. can only be exercised with the cooperation of the court-appointed administrator (bewindvoerder) in the event the Company or CB&I B.V. is granted a suspension of payments (surséance van betaling). |
|
(xi) | | The opinions expressed in paragraph E. above are subject to the following exceptions and qualifications: (1) The choice of the laws of New York as the law governing the Credit Documents will not be recognized as valid and binding upon the Company or CB&I B.V. under the laws of The Netherlands, insofar as the laws of The Netherlands are applicable, to the extent that (a) any provision of the Credit Documents or (b) any provision of the laws of New York applicable to the Credit Documents, is manifestly incompatible with the public policy of The Netherlands. (2) Regardless of the law which the parties to a contract have chosen as the governing law with respect thereto, a court of The Netherlands may give effect to mandatory rules of Dutch law or the laws of another jurisdiction with which the situation has a close connection, if and insofar as under Dutch law or the laws of that other jurisdiction those rules must be applied regardless of the law which would otherwise be applicable. (3) The courts of The Netherlands will take into account the law of the country in which performance of an obligation occurs or is to occur in relation to (a) the manner of performance of such obligation and (b) the measures required to be taken by the obligee in the event of failure to perform such obligation. |
14
|
(xii) | | The service of process against a party other than by personal delivery by a bailiff of the Dutch courts (gerechtsdeurwaarder) may not be considered by a Dutch court to constitute valid service of process, notwithstanding any provision or agreement to the contrary in the Credit Documents. |
|
(xiii) | | Provisions of the Credit Documents providing that a party thereto is not liable for, or is entitled to indemnification for, such party’s own intentional misconduct (opzet) or gross negligence (grove schuld) are in conflict with public policy of The Netherlands and may not be enforceable in The Netherlands. |
|
(xiv) | | Dutch law generally does not recognize the concept of ownership of property by a trustee for the benefit of third persons. Accordingly, any trusts purported to be created pursuant to Section 6 of the Parent Guaranty or Section 6 of the Subsidiary Guaranty might not be recognized under the laws of The Netherlands and might not be enforced in legal proceedings before a court in The Netherlands. |
|
(xv) | | Under the laws of The Netherlands an agreement by a company may be void on the grounds of ultra vires if it is not in the interest of the company to enter into such agreement, even if the agreement clearly falls within the scope of the literal wording of the objects clause of the company’s articles of association. While the case law on this issue is limited, a guarantee of, assumption of liability for, or granting of other security for, obligations of companies other than direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries of the company issuing a guarantee or granting other security may be particularly vulnerable to challenge on this grounds. In the present case we assume that CB&I B.V. may derive benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, taken as a whole. Whether such benefit is sufficient to make entering into the Subsidiary Guaranty by CB&I B.V. in CB&I B.V.’s “corporate interest” is a highly fact-specific question on which we express no opinion. |
We express no opinion herein as to the first sentence of Section 2 of the Parent Guaranty and the Subsidiary Guaranty, or the provisions of Section 4 of the Parent Guaranty and the Subsidiary Guaranty, to the extent that pursuant to any of the provisions of the Parent Guaranty or the Subsidiary Guaranty referred to in this sentence the Company or CB&I B.V. purports to waive any defenses available to it pursuant to mandatory provisions of Dutch law as set forth in this opinion. In addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, we express no opinion herein concerning the enforceability in legal proceedings before a court of
15
The Netherlands of Section 4(a), 4(c), 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) (to the extent the Company or CB&I BV. pursuant to the latter provisions purports to waive any right to “recoupments” or “counterclaims”) or 5(g) of the Parent Guaranty or the Subsidiary Guaranty.
In this opinion, when we use the terms “to our knowledge”, “known to us” and the like we are referring only to the actual knowledge of those lawyers of Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V. who regularly provide legal representation to the Company and CB&I B.V., based solely on documents included in the case files of Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V. relating to such legal representation.
This opinion speaks as of the date hereof, and we make no undertaking to supplement such opinions if facts and circumstances come to our attention (including, without limitation, amendments to the Credit Documents), or changes in the law occur, which could affect such opinions.
This opinion:
1. | | expresses and describes Dutch legal concepts in English and not in their original Dutch terms; these concepts may not be identical to the concepts described by the English translations; this opinion may therefore be relied upon only on the express conditions (x) that such opinion and any issues of interpretation or liability arising thereunder shall be governed by, and that all words and expressions used herein shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of The Netherlands and (y) that any issues of interpretation or liability arising hereunder shall also be governed by Dutch law and shall be brought exclusively before a Dutch court; |
|
2. | | is strictly limited to the matters set forth herein and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein; and |
|
3. | | is furnished as of its date at the request and direction of the Company and CB&I B.V. pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(v) of the Credit Agreement and may be relied upon solely by the addressees hereof and may not be relied upon by or furnished, circulated or quoted to, or used or referred to or filed with, any other person, or by the addressees hereof in any other context, without our express written consent. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 1. and 2. above, you may, however, deliver a copy of this opinion to your accountants; attorneys and other professional advisors, to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, including, without limitation, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, to any Eligible Assignee or Participant of any Lender and to any successor Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer, and such legal counsel, Eligible Assignee, Participant, successor Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed and had been delivered to it on the date hereof, unless and to the extent statements in this opinion would be affected by the status of such Eligible Assignee, Participant, successor Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer. |
16
We express no opinion on any laws other than the law of The Netherlands as it stands and has been interpreted in printed case law of the courts of The Netherlands as of the date of this opinion. In particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing we express no opinion concerning whether or under what circumstances or with what result a court sitting outside The Netherlands would or might apply Dutch law.
This opinion is given on behalf of Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V. and not on behalf of or by any other office or associated firm of the Swiss Verein Baker & McKenzie. In this opinion the expressions “we”, “us”, “our” and like expressions should be construed accordingly.
Yours sincerely,
Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V.

the Credit Agreement described below

Re: | | $50 Million Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 6, 2006 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”), as administrative agent, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the $50 Million Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2006 (the“Credit Agreement”), among Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, N.V., on behalf of itself and as Co-Obligors’ Agent, and Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (Delaware), CBI Services, Inc., CB&I Constructors, Inc. and CB&I Tyler Company, as Co-Obligors, Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as issuers of letters of credit (the“L/C Issuers”), certain lenders signatory thereto (including the Bank) (the“Lenders”), and the Bank, as administrative agent. This opinion is furnished to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(vi) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meanings herein.
We have examined originals or copies of the executed Credit Agreement, the Credit- Linked Notes, each dated November 6, 2006, the LOC Allocation Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2006, executed by Bank as Administrative Agent in connection with the Credit Agreement, and the Money Market Account Agreement, dated November 6, 2006 (the“Deposit Agreement”) between the Bank as Administrative Agent and the Bank as Depository, establishing the Credit-Linked Deposit Account (collectively, the“Documents”).
In addition, we have considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions set forth herein.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as copies. In making our examination of the Documents, we have assumed that (i) each party to the Documents (other than the Bank) has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe the provisions of, the Documents, and has duly authorized, executed and delivered such Documents, and (ii) such Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding

obligations of each such party (other than the Bank). You will receive an opinion letter of even date herewith from Peter H. Fuad, Assistant General Counsel of the Bank, with respect to the authority of the Bank to execute and deliver the Documents and certain other matters. We have relied on such opinion letter in rendering the opinions set forth herein, without independently considering the matters covered thereby.
For purposes of our opinion below regarding the enforceability of the choice-of-law provisions in the Credit Agreement and the Credit-Linked Notes, we have assumed that Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law will be given effect in accordance with its terms.
The opinion hereinafter expressed is subject to the following further qualifications and exceptions:
(1) The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, including, without limitation, laws relating to fraudulent transfers or conveyances, preferences and equitable subordination, as such laws may be applied in the event of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, readjustment of debt or other similar proceedings of, or moratorium affecting, the Bank.
(2) Limitations imposed by general principles of equity upon the availability of equitable remedies or the enforcement of provisions of the Documents; and the effect of judicial decisions which have held that certain provisions are unenforceable where their enforcement would violate the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or would be commercially unreasonable, or where a default under the Documents is not material.
(3) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of requirements that provisions of the Documents may only be waived in writing to the extent that an oral agreement has been entered into modifying provisions of the Documents.
(4) We express no opinion as to the circumstances under which rights of setoff may be exercised by the Lenders or any Participants.
(5) The effect of judicial decisions permitting the introduction of extrinsic evidence to supplement the terms or aid in the interpretation of the Documents.
(6) We express no opinion as to the effect on the opinion expressed herein of (a) the compliance or non-compliance of any party to the Documents with any law, regulation or order applicable to it, or (b) the legal or regulatory status or the nature of the business of any such party.

(7) We express no opinion as to compliance or noncompliance of any Persons with applicable federal or state securities laws or as to the effect of noncompliance on the opinions rendered herein.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Documents constitute the legally valid and binding obligations of the Bank, enforceable against the Bank in accordance with their respective terms.
We express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the substantive laws of the State of New York (including, except as provided below, its applicable choice-of-law rules) and federal laws of the United States which are in effect on the date hereof, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions expressed herein of any laws other than the laws of the State of New York and federal laws of the United States of America. In rendering our opinion above with respect to the enforceability of the Deposit Agreement, we have assumed for purposes of this opinion that the laws of the State of New York would govern the Deposit Agreement; we express no opinion, however, as to whether New York law would be applied by any court in or of the State of New York in which enforcement of the Deposit Agreement may be sought.
This opinion is solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders and may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other Person without our prior written consent, except (i) other financial institutions to which the Lenders may from time to time assign all or a portion of the Credit Obligations, the Participations, the Advances or the Term Loans (or grant participations therein) in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and (ii) that copies may be furnished to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Lenders or their assignees (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), outside accountants of the Lenders or their assignees (for the sole purpose of preparing financial statements), and any attorneys of any of the foregoing persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing grant of permission to an assignee to rely on this opinion, we express no opinion with respect to the effect of the assignee’s failure to comply with any legal requirement in order for it to enforce the Documents. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the Documents by a participant.

Re: $50 Million Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 6, 2006
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I serve as Assistant General Counsel to Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”), as administrative agent and have acted in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of the $50 Million Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2006 (the“Credit Agreement”), among Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, N.V., on behalf of itself and as Co-Obligors’ Agent, and Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (Delaware), 031 Services, Inc., CB&I Constructors, Inc. and CB&I Tyler Company, as Co-Obligors, Bank of America, N.A. and ..113Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as issuers of letters of credit (the“L/C Issuers”), certain lenders signatory thereto (including the Bank) (the“Lenders”), and the Bank, as administrative agent, the Credit-Linked Notes, the LOC Allocation Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2006, executed by Bank as Administrative Agent in connection with the Credit Agreement, and the Money Market Account Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2006, which establishes the Credit-Linked Deposit Account (collectively, the“Documents”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Documents. I have examined a certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency of recent date as to the valid certification of the Bank to do business as a national banking association, such records and other proceedings of the Bank and such laws, rules, and regulations as I have deemed necessary for purposes of issuing this opinion. I have also examined a certificate of an Assistant Secretary of the Bank (the“Certificate”) as to the authority of certain officers of the Bank to execute the Documents on behalf of the Bank and as to the incumbency of the officer(s) of the Bank who have executed the Documents on behalf of the Bank. I have assumed the authenticity of certificates and documents submitted to me as originals (other than the Documents and the Certificate) and the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to me as copies,
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
| I. | | The Bank is a national banking association currently authorized to transact the business of banking and has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe the provisions of, the Documents. |

A. | | The choice of the Jaws of the State of New York as the law governing the Opinion Documents is valid and binding under Dutch law, except (i) to the extent that any term of the Opinion Documents or any provision of the Jaw of the State of New York applicable to the Opinion Documents is manifestly incompatible with the public policy(ordre public)of the Netherlands and (ii) that a Dutch court may give effect to mandatory rules of Dutch law or the laws of another jurisdiction, with which the situation has a close connection, if and insofar as, under Dutch law or the laws of that other jurisdiction, those rules must be applied irrespective of the chosen law. |
Legal validity
B. | | Subject to paragraph A. above, the Opinion Documents to which they are a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Companies, enforceable against the Companies in accordance with their respective terms. |
This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:
a. | | The opinions expressed herein may be affected or limited by the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy(faillissement),insolvency, fraudulent conveyance(actio pauliana),reorganisation, suspension of payments(surseance van betaling)and other laws of general application now or hereafter in effect, relating to or affecting the enforcement or protection of creditor’s rights (including but not limited to the laws that apply pursuant to the Insolvency Regulation). |
|
b. | | if proceedings are instituted against the Company in the courts of the Netherlands in respect of any sum payable under the Opinion Documents, the claimant has the option to request those courts to render judgment either in United States Dollars or in the lawful currency of the Netherlands. A final judgment in United States Dollars may be enforced in the Netherlands either in United States Dollars or, if enforcement purposes would so require, in the lawful currency of the Netherlands. In either case, the applicable rate of exchange would be such rate that procures that the amount in the lawful currency of the Netherlands is sufficient for the claimant to purchase, on the date of payment by the Company, forthwith the sum payable in United States Dollars. |
|
c. | | Under Dutch law, each power of attorney(volmacht)or mandate(lastgeving), whether or not irrevocable, granted by a Company in the Opinion Documents will terminate by force of law, without notice, upon bankruptcy(faillissement),and will cease to be effective in case of a suspension of payments(surseance van betaling),of a Company. To the extent that the appointment by a Company of a process agent would be deemed to constitute a power of attorney or a mandate, this qualification would apply. |
LOYENSLLOEFF
d. | | Under Dutch law, a power of attorney can be made irrevocable, provided that the scope of the power of attorney concerns legal acts which are in the interest of the holder of the power of attorney or a third party. However, a counterparty of the proxy holder which has been granted an irrevocable power of attorney, may assume that this condition has been met, unless the contrary is evident to such a party. |
|
e. | | A power of attorney does not affect the authority of the issuer to perform the actions envisaged by such power of attorney itself. |
|
f. | | The consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, as provided in the Opinion Documents, is valid and binding upon the Companies under Dutch law, insofar as Dutch law is applicable, provided, however, that such consent does not preclude bringing claims before the provisional measures judge(voorzieningenrechter)of a competent court in the Netherlands. |
|
g | | A Dutch court may have to decline jurisdiction if concurrent proceedings have been brought elsewhere. Dutch law provides that if proceedings, involving the same cause of action between the same parties, are brought before the courts of different states, any court other then the court first seized shall of its own motion decline jurisdiction in favour of that court, provided that the latter court has determined that it has jurisdiction. |
|
h. | | In the absence of an applicable treaty between the State of New York and the Netherlands, a judgement rendered by a State of New York court will not be enforced by the courts in the Netherlands. In order to obtain a judgement which is enforceable in the Netherlands the claim must be relitigated before a competent Dutch court. A judgement rendered by a State of New York court pursuant to the Opinion Documents will, under current practice, be recognised by a Dutch court if (i) that judgement results from proceedings compatible with Dutch concepts of due process, (ii) that judgement does not contravene public policy(ordre public)of the Netherlands and (iii) the jurisdiction of the State of New York court has been based on an internationally acceptable ground. |
|
i. | | The validity of the guarantee provided by the Companies pursuant to the Guaranties may be affected by the ultra vires provisions of section 2:7 of the Dutch Civil Code. These provisions give legal entities the right to invoke the nullity of a transaction if such transaction entered into by such entity cannot serve to realise the objects of such entity and the other parties to such transaction knew, or without independent investigation should have known, that such objects have been exceeded. All circumstances relevant in determining corporate benefit should be taken into account, including the wording of the objects clause of the articles of association and the level of (direct or indirect) benefit derived by the legal entity. |
We express no opinion on any law other than the law of the Netherlands (unpublished case law not included) as it currently stands. We express no opinion on any laws of the European Communities (insofar as not implemented in the Netherlands in statutes or regulations of general application or unless it concerns EU Regulations(Verordeningen)in effect in the Netherlands on the date of the opinion). In this opinion letter we express no opinion on tax law, on the business merits of the transaction contemplated by the Opinion Documents or on anti-trust law.

| Re: | | Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V.; Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (Delaware); CBI Services, Inc.; CB&I Constructors, Inc.; and CB&I Tyler Company $50,000,000 Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as your special counsel in connection with the $50,000,000 Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 6, 2006 by and among Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V., a corporation organized under the laws of The Kingdom of the Netherlands (the“Company”),Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (Delaware), a Delaware corporation, CBI Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, CB&I Constructors, Inc., a Texas corporation, and CB&I Tyler Company, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to individually as a“Co-Obligor”and collectively the“Co-Obligors”),Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as L/C Issuers, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and each of you, respectively (the“Letter of Credit Agreement”).We are providing this opinion to you pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(vii) of the Letter of Credit Agreement. Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this opinion and defined in the Letter of Credit Agreement will have the meanings given in the Letter of Credit Agreement. The Company, the Co-Obligors and Chicago Bridge & Iron Company B.V. are collectively referred to herein as the“Opinion Parties”and individually as an“Opinion Party.”
In our capacity as special counsel, we have participated in the preparation and negotiation of the Letter of Credit Agreement, the Credit-Linked Notes, the Parent Guaranty and the Subsidiary Guaranty (together, the“Closing Date Credit Documents”)and the form of the Term Note (together with the Closing Date Credit Documents, the“Credit Documents”)and have examined, among other things, originals or copies thereof, as well as the legal opinion of Thelen Reid & Priest LLP, counsel to the Credit Parties, the legal opinion of Robert H. Wolfe, internal counsel to the Credit Parties, the legal opinion of Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V., Netherlands counsel to the Credit Parties, the legal opinion of John S. Barry, Assistant General

Counsel of Bank of America, NA., as Administrative Agent, the legal opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP, counsel to Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the legal opinion of Loyens & Loeff, your Netherlands counsel, each dated the date hereof (collectively, the“Other Counsel Opinions”). Wehave assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to relevant factual matters, we have obtained and relied upon those certificates of officers of the Opinion Parties and certificates of public officials that we considered appropriate. To the extent the Opinion Parties’ obligations depend on the enforceability of the Credit Documents against the other parties to the Credit Documents, we have assumed that the Credit Documents are enforceable against such other parties.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed that (i) each Opinion Party has been duly formed, and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation or organization, with power to enter into the Credit Documents to which it is party and to perform its obligations thereunder, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of such Credit Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Opinion Party party thereto, and (iii) such Credit Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each Opinion Party party thereto.
On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our consideration of those questions of law we considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each of the Closing Date Credit Documents constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each Opinion Party party thereto, enforceable against such Opinion Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and possible judicial action giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights. Each of the Term Notes, when duly executed and delivered by each Co-Obligor, will constitute the legally valid and binding obligation of each Co-Obligor, enforceable against each Co-Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

2. Assuming the accuracy of (i) the Company’s and the Co-Obligors’ representations in the first sentence of Section 5.13 of the Letter of Credit Agreement, (ii) your representations in Section 10.09(a) of the Letter of Credit Agreement, (iii) the representations and warranties of Banc of America Securities LLC (“BAS”) in that certain offeree letter, dated as of November 6, 2006, from BAS to the Company, O’Melveny & Myers LLP and Thelen Reid & Priest LLP, and (iv) the representations and warranties of JPMorgan Securities Inc. in that certain offeree letter, dated as of November 6, 2006, from JPMorgan Securities Inc. to the Company, O’Melveny & Myers LLP and Thelen Reid & Priest LLP, it is not necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit-Linked Notes and the Term Notes (together, the “Notes”) under the circumstances contemplated by the Letter of Credit Agreement to register the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to qualify an indenture in respect thereof under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. We express no opinion as to the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.
3. Assuming the accuracy of the Co-Obligors’ representations in Section 5.14 of the Letter of Credit Agreement, neither the extension of credit nor the use of proceeds provided in the Letter of Credit Agreement will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that none of the Lenders is a “creditor” as defined in Regulation T.
The Other Counsel Opinions are satisfactory in form to us and cover the matters required by the Letter of Credit Agreement, and we believe you are justified in relying on such opinions. However, we bring to your attention that the Other Counsel Opinions do not cover any Credit Parties other than the Opinion Parties nor have we been provided with any evidence that such Credit Parties have been duly formed or are validly existing in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdiction of formation or organization, that the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which such Credit Parties are a party have been duly authorized on the part of such Credit Parties or that such Credit Documents have been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Parties.
(a) Our opinions in paragraph 1 above as to the enforceability of the Credit Documents are subject to:
(i) public policy considerations, statutes or court decisions that may limit the rights of a party to obtain indemnification against its own negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct;
(ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of broadly or vaguely stated waivers or waivers of rights granted by law where the waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law;
(iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions imposing penalties, liquidated damages or other economic remedies;
(iv) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions appointing one party as trustee for an adverse party or provisions for the appointment of a receiver;

(v) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of choice of law provisions; and
(vi) the unenforceability of confession of judgment provisions.
(b) We express no opinion as to the effect of non-compliance by you with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents because of the nature of your business.
(c) We express no opinion as to any provision of any Credit Document insofar as it purports to grant a right of setoff in respect of any Opinion Party’s assets to any person other than a creditor of such Opinion Party.
(d) We advise you that Section 10.14 of the Letter of Credit Agreement and any similar provision in any of the other Credit Documents, which provides for non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and federal courts sitting in that State, may not be binding on the courts in the forum(s) selected or excluded.
(e) We advise you that if an action based on any of the Credit Documents were commenced in a federal or state court in New York, a judgment for money relating to such Credit Document ordinarily would be enforced only in United States dollars. The method used by a court to determine the rate of conversion of foreign currency into United States dollars may not be the same as provided in the Letter of Credit Agreement.
Our opinions in paragraph 1 are subject to the qualification that certain rights, remedies, waivers and other provisions of any of the Credit Documents may not be enforceable, but such unenforceability will not, subject to the other exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, render such Credit Document invalid as a whole or substantially interfere with the substantial realization of the principal benefits that such Credit Document purports to provide (except for the economic consequences of procedural or other delay).
We express no opinion concerning (i) federal or state securities laws or regulations (except for the opinion in paragraph 2), (ii) federal or state antitrust, unfair competition or trade practice laws or regulations, (iii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations, (iv) compliance with fiduciary requirements, or (v) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act) Act of 2001, as amended, Executive Order No. 13,224 of September 24, 2001, Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism, as amended, and any enabling legislation, rules, regulations or executive orders relating thereto.
We express no opinion concerning any Credit Party other than the Opinion Parties or enforceability of the Subsidiary Guaranty against any such Credit Party.

The law covered by this opinion is limited to the present federal law of the United States and the present law of the State of New York. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction and no opinion regarding the statutes, administrative decisions, rules, regulations or requirements of any county, municipality, subdivision or local authority of any jurisdiction.
This opinion is furnished by us as your special counsel and may be relied upon by you only in connection with the issuance of the Notes by the Co-Obligors to you. It may not be used or relied upon by you for any other purpose or by any other person, nor may copies be delivered to any other person, without in each instance our prior written consent. You may, however deliver a copy of this opinion to your accountants, attorneys, and other professional advisors, to governmental regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over you (including, without limitation, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), to permitted assignees of the Notes in connection with such assignment and to participants in connection with their purchase of a participation interest in the Notes. At your request, we hereby consent to reliance on this opinion by such assignees (but not such participants) to the same extent as the addressees hereof as if this opinion were addressed and had been delivered to them on the date of this opinion, on the condition and understanding that (i) we assume no responsibility or obligation to consider the applicability or correctness of this opinion to any person other than its addressee(s) and (ii) any such reliance by a future assignee and by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such future assignee must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. This letter speaks only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this opinion and come to our attention, or any future changes in laws.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY
[See attachment hereto]
Exhibits to
Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement
(Five Year Series A)
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY
ThisSUBSIDIARY GUARANTYis entered into as of November 6, 2006 by the undersigned (each a“Guarantor”, and together with any future Subsidiaries executing this Guaranty, being collectively referred to herein as the“Guarantors”) in favor of and for the benefit ofBANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as agent for and representative of (in such capacity herein called“Guarantied Party”) the financial institutions (“Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement referred to below, and in favor of and for the benefit of the other Beneficiaries (as hereinafter defined).
RECITALS
A. Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, N.V., a corporation organized under the laws of The Kingdom of the Netherlands (“Company”), and Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (Delaware), a Delaware corporation, CBI Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, CB&I Constructors, Inc., a Texas corporation, and CB&I Tyler Company, a Delaware corporation (each of the foregoing being a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company and hereinafter referred to individually as a “Co-Obligor” and collectively the “Co-Obligors”), Bank of America, N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as issuers of letters of credit (each an “L/C Issuer” and collectively, the “L/C Issuers”), the Lenders, and Guarantied Party, as Administrative Agent for Lenders are party to that certain Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 6, 2006 (said Credit Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the“Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined).
B. Guarantied Party, L/C Issuers and Lenders are sometimes referred to herein as“Beneficiaries”.
C. A portion of the proceeds of the Credits, Advances or Term Loans may be advanced to other Guarantors that are Subsidiaries of Co-Obligors, and thus the Guarantied Obligations (as hereinafter defined) will inure to the benefit of Guarantors (which benefits are hereby acknowledged).
D. It is a condition precedent to the funding of Credit-Linked Deposits and the making of the initial Credit Extensions under the Credit Agreement that the Obligations of Co-Obligors (as hereinafter defined) be guarantied by Guarantors.
E. Guarantors are willing irrevocably and unconditionally to guaranty such Obligations.
NOW, THEREFORE,based upon the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lenders, L/C Issuers and Guarantied Party to enter into the Credit Agreement, to fund Credit-Linked Deposits and to make Credits, Advances, Term Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder, Guarantors hereby agree as follows:
1. Guaranty.Guarantors jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, the due and punctual payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations (as hereinafter defined) when the same shall become due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
Subsidiary Guaranty to the 5 Year Series A

acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”, as now and hereafter in effect, or any successor statute). The term“Guarantied Obligations”is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all Obligations of the Co-Obligors, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, and however arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty and the other Credit Documents, including those arising under successive borrowing transactions under the Credit Agreement which shall either continue the Obligations of the Co-Obligors or from time to time renew them after they have been satisfied.“Obligations”means all obligations of every nature of the Co-Obligors from time to time owed to Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers, Lenders or any of them under the Credit Documents, whether for principal, interest, reimbursement of amounts drawn under Credits, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise. The Guarantied Party may require that any payments due under this Guaranty shall be made in the United States.
Each Guarantor acknowledges that a portion of Advances or Term Loans may be advanced to it, that Credits may be issued for the benefit of its business and that the Guarantied Obligations will inure to its benefit.
Any interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations that accrues after the commencement of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Co-Obligors (or, if interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guarantied Obligations if said proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guarantied Obligations because it is the intention of each Guarantor and Guarantied Party that the Guarantied Obligations should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order that may relieve the Co-Obligors of any portion of such Guarantied Obligations.
In the event that all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations is paid by the Co-Obligors, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) is rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Guarantied Party or any other Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments that are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guarantied Obligations.
Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1, upon the failure of the Co-Obligors to pay any of the Guarantied Obligations when and as the same shall become due (and after expiration of any applicable grace period), each Guarantor will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Guarantied Party for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the aggregate of the unpaid Guarantied Obligations. Nothing in this Guaranty shall or is intended to permit a demand hereunder prior to the date on which payment is due under the Credit Agreement and all applicable grace and cure periods have expired.
(b) Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section
Subsidiary Guaranty to the 5 Year Series A
Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement
548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the“Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor (x) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Co-Obligors or other affiliates of Company or the Co-Obligors to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder and (y) under any guaranty of subordinated indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section 1(b), pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement.
(c) The obligations of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands under or pursuant to this Guaranty shall exclude and shall not be or be construed as any guarantee, indemnity or security, to the extent that this would be deemedultra vireswithin the meaning of Section 2:7 of the Netherlands Civil Code.
(d) Each Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each guarantor under other guaranties, if any, relating to the Credit Agreement (the“Related Guaranties”) that contain a contribution provision similar to that set forth in this Section 1(d), together desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the“Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty and the Related Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Guaranty or a guarantor under a Related Guaranty, each such Guarantor or such other guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in the maximum amount permitted by law so as to maximize the aggregate amount of the Guarantied Obligations paid to Beneficiaries.
2. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty.The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees that: (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility; (b) Guarantied Party may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Co-Obligors and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such event; (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Co-Obligors under the Credit Documents and the obligations of any other guarantor of obligations of the Co-Obligors and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Co-Obligors or any of such other guarantors and whether or not any Co-Obligor is joined in any such action or actions; and (d) a payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guarantied Obligations by one or more Guarantors shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the liability of such or any other Guarantor for any portion of the Guarantied Obligations that has not been paid. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and each Guarantor irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guarantied Obligations.

17. Guarantied Party as Agent.
(a) Guarantied Party has been appointed to act as Guarantied Party hereunder by Lenders.

18. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Guarantied Party could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Guarantors in respect of any such sum due from them to the Guarantied Party hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Guaranty (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Guarantied Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Guarantied Party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency

Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Guarantied Party in such currency, by its acceptance hereof the Guarantied Party agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Guarantors (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

B. Agreement.
In consideration of Bank of America’s issuing the Letter of Credit at the request of Applicant, Applicant agrees to the following:
1. Applicant Payments.
(a) Applicant shall pay Bank of America, on demand, all amounts paid by Bank of America under or in respect of the Letter of Credit.
(b) On each fee payment date, so long as any undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit remains available, Applicant shall pay Bank of America a Letter of Credit fee. The fee payment date(s) shall be the date(s) as Applicant and Bank of America may agree, or in the absence of such agreement, the fee payment date shall be the date on which Bank of America issues the Letter of Credit. The fee shall be at such rate per annum as Applicant and Bank of America may agree or, in the absence of such agreement, at the rate customarily charged by Bank of America at the time such fee is payable, based upon Applicant’s creditworthiness, as determined by Bank of America in its sole discretion. The applicable Letter of Credit fee shall be calculated and payable on the undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit as of each fee payment date, and shall be for the period commencing on such fee payment date and ending on the day preceding the next fee payment date (or the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, as the case may be), both dates inclusive. The Letter of Credit fee will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Bank of America shall not be required to refund any portion of the Letter of Credit fee paid for any period during which (a) the Letter of Credit expires or otherwise terminates or (b) the undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit is reduced by drawings or by amendment.
(c) Applicant shall pay Bank of America, on demand, commissions and fees for amendments to, payments under, extensions of or cancellation of the Letter of Credit, and other services in the amounts Applicant and Bank of America may agree or, in the absence of such agreement, in the amounts customarily charged by Bank of America on the date of Bank of America’s demand.
(d) All payments and deposits of any kind by Applicant under this Application and Agreement, including prepayments, shall be made at the banking center or office Bank of America may designate from time to time. Bank of America shall have no obligation to pay Applicant interest on any such payment, prepayment or deposit made by Applicant under this Application and Agreement.
(e) (i) All payments and deposits by Applicant under this Application and Agreement shall be in the currency in which the Letter of Credit is payable, except that Bank of America may, at its option, require payments and deposits by Applicant under this Application and Agreement to be made in U.S. Dollars if the Letter of Credit is payable in a foreign currency.
(ii) The amount of each payment and each deposit by Applicant under this Application and Agreement in U.S. Dollars for a Letter of Credit payable in a foreign currency shall be determined by converting the relevant amount to U.S. Dollars at the Conversion Rate in effect:
(A) with respect to each payment under Section 1(a) of this Agreement, on the date the payment is made by Bank of America under or in respect of the Letter of Credit; and
(B) with respect to each payment not falling under the preceding clause (A) and each deposit, on the date of Bank of America’s demand for such payment or deposit.
(iii) If a U.S. Dollar deposit by Applicant under this Application and Agreement for a Letter of Credit payable in a foreign currency becomes less than the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit because of any variation in rates of exchange, Applicant shall deposit with Bank of America, on demand, additional amounts in U.S. Dollars so that the total amount deposited by Applicant under this Application and Agreement is not less than the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit, determined by using the Conversion Rate on the date of Bank of America’s latest demand.
(iv) “Conversion Rate” means the rate quoted by Bank of America for the purchase from Bank of America of the relevant foreign currency with U.S. Dollars.
(f) Applicant shall reimburse or compensate Bank of America, on demand, for all costs incurred, losses suffered and payments made by Bank of America which are applied or allocated by Bank of America to the Letter of Credit (as determined by Bank of America) by reason of any and all present or future reserve, capital, deposit, assessment or similar requirements against (or against any class of or change in or in the amount of) assets or liabilities of, or commitments or extensions of credit by, Bank of America.
(g) Applicant shall pay interest, on demand, on any amount not paid when due under this Application and Agreement from the due date until payment in full at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its prime rate, plus three percentage points (not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law). The prime rate is set by Bank of America based on various factors, including Bank of America’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some credits. Bank of America may price credit at, above or below the prime rate. Any change in Bank of America’s prime rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in Bank of America’s public announcement of a change in Bank of America’s prime rate. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.
2. Deposit Events.Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Applicant shall deposit with Bank of America, on demand (except that such demand shall not be required in the event of an occurrence described in (b) below) and as cash security for Applicant’s obligations to Bank of America under this Application and Agreement, an amount equal to the undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit:
(a) Applicant defaults under any provision of this Application and Agreement;
(b) Any bankruptcy or similar proceeding is commenced with respect to Applicant;
(c) Any default occurs under any other agreement involving the borrowing of money or the extension of credit under which Applicant may be obligated as borrower, installment purchaser or guarantor, if such default consists of the failure to pay any indebt-edness when due or if such default permits or causes the acceleration of any indebtedness or the termination of any commitment to lend or to extend credit;

(b) If any award, judgment or order is given or made for the payment of any amount due under this Application and Agreement and such award, judgment or order is expressed in a currency other than the currency required under this Application and Agreement, Applicant shall indemnify Bank of America against and hold Bank of America harmless from all loss and damage incurred by Bank of America as a result of any variation in rates of exchange between the date of such award, judgment or order and the date of payment (or, in the case of partial payments, the date of each partial payment thereof) in the required currency
(c) Each of these indemnities shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Application and Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by Bank of America from time to time, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any award, judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Application and Agreement.
5. Governing Law and Rules.The Letter of Credit will be subject to, and performance under the Letter of Credit by Bank of America, its correspondents, and the beneficiary will be governed by, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” (“ISP98”) or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, subject to applicable laws. The Letter of Credit and this Application and Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state in the United States where Bank of America issues the Letter of Credit, without reference to that state’s provisions regarding conflicts of laws, to the jurisdiction of which the parties hereto submit. If the Letter of Credit is not issued in any state, the law of the State of California will govern.
6. Applicant Status.The word “Applicant” in this Application and Agreement refers to each signer (other than Bank of America) of this Application and Agreement. If this Application and Agreement is signed by more than one Applicant, their obligations under this Application and Agreement shall be joint and several.
7. Representations and Warranties.Applicant represents and warrants to Bank of America that it has the authority to enter into this Application and Agreement and that such Agreement will not violate or conflict with any of the provisions of its constituent documents or any other agreement or undertaking to which it is a party or to which it is bound.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) No delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence which may occur or be granted by Bank of America shall impair the rights and powers of Bank of America hereunder. Bank of America shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights hereunder, unless Bank of America shall have signed such waiver in writing.
(b) Any notice from Bank of America to Applicant shall be sent to the address of Applicant set forth on the Application and shall be effective upon receipt by Applicant. Any notice from Applicant to Bank of America shall be sent to the address of Bank of America specified by Bank of America to Applicant and shall be effective upon receipt by Bank of America.
(c) Each provision of this Application and Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Application and Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Application and Agreement.
(d) Any and all payments made to Bank of America hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding income or franchise taxes imposed by the United States and any political subdivisions thereof (such nonexcluded taxes being herein called “Taxes”). If Applicant shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8(d)), Bank of America shall receive an amount equal to the sum Bank of America would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Applicant shall make such deductions, and (iii) Applicant shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. Applicant will indemnify Bank of America for the full amount of Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8(d)) paid by Bank of America and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date Bank of America makes written demand therefor. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Applicant will furnish to Bank of America the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(e) This Application and Agreement shall be binding upon Applicant, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Bank of America, its successors, transferees and assigns; provided that any assignment by Applicant of any of its rights or obligations under this Application and Agreement without the prior written consent of Bank of America shall be void.
(f) Unless the Applicant has specified in the Application that the wording of the Letter of Credit must be exact, Applicant understands that the final form of the Letter of Credit may vary from the wording specified in the Application, and Applicant authorizes Bank of America to make such changes, not materially inconsistent with the Application, which Bank of America deems necessary or appropriate. Applicant understands that the risk to Applicant is greater if Applicant requests a standby letter of credit which requires only a draft, rather than a standby letter of credit which requires supporting documentation.
(g) In the event of any change or modification, with the consent of Applicant, which consent may be given by any means of submission acceptable to Bank of America, including, without limitation, computer, facsimile or telex, relative to the Letter of Credit or any instrument called for hereunder, including any waiver made or in good faith believed by Bank of America to have been made by Applicant of any term hereof or the noncompliance of any such instruments with the terms of the Letter of Credit, this Application and Agreement shall be binding upon Applicant with regard to the Letter of Credit as so changed or modified, and to any action taken by Bank of America or any of its correspondents relative thereto. No term or provision of this Application and Agreement can be changed orally, but only in a writing and signed by Applicant and Bank of America.
(h) Bank of America assumes no liability or responsibility for the consequences arising out of delay and/or loss in transit of any message, letter or documentation, or for delay, mutilation or other error arising in the transmission of any teletransmission. In no event shall Bank of America be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or exemplary damages.
(i) If Applicant includes in the Application any language describing events or conditions that would not be possible for Bank of America to verify solely from the documents required to be presented under the Letter of Credit, Applicant acknowledges and agrees that Bank of America has no obligation to verify compliance with such requirements.

(c) All payments shall be made in immediately available funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, set-off or other liabilities. Applicant shall pay all withholding, stamp and other taxes or duties imposed by any taxing authority on payment under any Credit and this Agreement and shall indemnify Bank against all liabilities, costs, claims, and expenses resulting from Bank having to pay or from any omission to pay or delay in paying any duty or tax.

3. Amendment; Waiver.Bank shall not be deemed to have amended or modified any term hereof, or waived any of its rights unless Bank consents in writing to such amendment, modification or waiver. No such waiver, unless expressly stated therein, shall be effective as to any transaction which occurs subsequent to such waiver, nor as to any continuance of a breach after such waiver. Bank’s consent to any amendment, waiver, or modification does not mean that Bank shall consent or has consented to any other or subsequent Instruction to amend, modify, or waive a term of this Agreement or any Credit.
4. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability. (a) Applicant shall indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its parent, and correspondents and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, including Bank, an“Indemnified Person") from and against any and all claims, suits, judgments, costs, losses, fines, penalties, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including expert witness fees and legal fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel (including in-house counsel fees and allocated costs) for any Indemnified Person (“Costs"), arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of: (i) any Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance; (ii) any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender, or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any Indemnified Person in connection with any Credit; (iii) any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with any Credit or this Agreement (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of or honoring a presentation under any Credit; (iv) any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any Credit; (v) any unauthorized Instruction or error in computer transmission; (vi) an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated; (vii) any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of letter of credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document; (viii) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Indemnified Person; (ix) the enforcement of this Agreement or any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement or any Credit; (x) the Bank’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation; (xi) Bank dishonoring any presentation upon or during the continuance of any Event of Default or for which Applicant is unable or unwilling to make any payment to Bank required under paragraph 2 above; (xii) the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or futuredejure ordefacto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of such Indemnified Person; in each case, including that resulting from Bank’s own negligence,provided,however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Person claiming indemnification under (i) through (xii) above to the extent that such Costs are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person claiming indemnity. If and to the extent that the obligations of Applicant under this paragraph are unenforceable for any reason, Applicant shall make the maximum contribution to the Costs permissible under applicable law.
(b) The liability of Bank (or any other Indemnified Person) under, in connection with and/or arising out of this Agreement or any Credit (or any pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to any direct damages suffered by Applicant that are caused directly by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation that does not at least substantially comply with a Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation that strictly complies with a Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Credit. In no event shall Bank be deemed to have failed to act with due diligence or reasonable care if Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement, including paragraph 4(d) below. Applicant’s aggregate remedies against Bank and any Indemnified Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Applicant to Bank in respect of the honored presentation in respect of such Credit under paragraph 2 above, plus interest.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bank and the other Indemnified Persons shall not, under any circumstances whatsoever, be liable for any punitive, consequential, indirect or special damages or losses regardless of whether Bank or any Indemnified Person shall have been advised of the possibility thereof or of the form of action in which such damages or losses may be claimed.Applicant shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Bank or any Indemnified Person, including by enforcing its rights in the underlying transaction. Any claim by Applicant for damages under or in connection with this Agreement or any Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount saved by Applicant as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct and (ii) the amount of the loss that would have been avoided had Applicant mitigated damages. If a Credit is to be governed by a law other than that of the State of New York, Bank shall not be liable for any Costs resulting from any act or omission by Bank in accord with the UCP or the ISP, as applicable, and Applicant shall indemnify Bank for all such Costs.“Standard Letter of Credit Practice”means, for Bank, any domestic or foreign law or letter of credit practices applicable in the city in which Bank issued the applicable Credit or for its branch or correspondent, such laws and practices

PARENT GUARANTY
[See attachment hereto]
PARENT GUARANTY
ThisPARENT GUARANTYis entered into as of November 6, 2006 by Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (“Guarantor”), in favor of and for the benefit ofBANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as agent for and representative of (in such capacity herein called“Guarantied Party”) the financial institutions (“Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement referred to below, and in favor of and for the benefit of the other Beneficiaries (as hereinafter defined).
RECITALS
A. Guarantor, and Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (Delaware), a Delaware corporation, CBI Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, CB&I Constructors, Inc., a Texas corporation, and CB&I Tyler Company, a Delaware corporation (each of the foregoing being a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Guarantor and hereinafter referred to individually as a “Co-Obligor” and collectively the “Co-Obligors”), Bank of America, N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as issuers of letters of credit (each an “L/C Issuer” and collectively, the “L/C Issuers”), the Lenders, and Guarantied Party, as Administrative Agent for Lenders are party to that certain Letter of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 6, 2006 (said Credit Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the“Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined).
B. Guarantied Party, L/C Issuers and Lenders are sometimes referred to herein as“Beneficiaries”.
C. Each Co-Obligor is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Guarantor and thus the Guarantied Obligations (as hereinafter defined) will inure to the benefit of Guarantor (which benefits are hereby acknowledged).
D. It is a condition precedent to the funding of Credit-Linked Deposits and the making of the initial Credit Extensions under the Credit Agreement that the Obligations of the Co-Obligors (as hereinafter defined) be guarantied by Guarantor.
E. Guarantor is willing irrevocably and unconditionally to guaranty such Obligations.
1. Guaranty.(a) In order to induce Lenders, L/C Issuers and Guarantied Party to enter into the Credit Agreement, to fund Credit-Linked Deposits and to make Credits, Advances, Term Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder, Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations (as hereinafter defined) when the same shall become due (after giving effect to applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”, as now and hereafter in effect, or any successor statute). The term“Guarantied Obligations”is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and
all Obligations of the Co-Obligors, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, and however arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty and the other Credit Documents, including those arising under successive borrowing transactions under the Credit Agreement which shall either continue the Obligations of the Co-Obligors or from time to time renew them after they have been satisfied.“Obligations”means all obligations of every nature of the Co-Obligors from time to time owed to Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers, Lenders or any of them under the Credit Documents, whether for principal, interest, reimbursement of amounts drawn under Credits, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise. The Guarantied Party may require that any payments due under this Guaranty shall be made in the United States.
Any interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations that accrues after the commencement of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Co-Obligors (or, if interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guarantied Obligations if said proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guarantied Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantor and Guarantied Party that the Guarantied Obligations should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order that may relieve the Co-Obligors of any portion of such Guarantied Obligations.
In the event that all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations is paid by the Co-Obligors, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) is rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Guarantied Party or any other Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments that are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guarantied Obligations.
Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1, upon the failure of the Co-Obligors to pay any of the Guarantied Obligations when and as the same shall become due (and after expiration of any applicable grace period), Guarantor will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Guarantied Party for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the aggregate of the unpaid Guarantied Obligations. Nothing in this Guaranty shall or is intended to permit a demand hereunder prior to the date on which payment is due under the Credit Agreement and all applicable grace and cure periods have expired.
(b) Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under any fraudulent conveyance or insolvency laws in the United States or The Netherlands (collectively, the“Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of Guarantor (x) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Co-Obligors or other affiliates of Company or the Co-Obligors to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by Guarantor hereunder and (y) under any guaranty of subordinated indebtedness which guaranty contains a
limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section 1(b), pursuant to which the liability of Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement.
(c) Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each guarantor under other guaranties, if any, relating to the Credit Agreement (the“Related Guaranties”) that contain a contribution provision similar to that set forth in this Section 1(c), together desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the“Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty and the Related Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by Guarantor under this Guaranty or a guarantor under a Related Guaranty, Guarantor or such other guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in the maximum amount permitted by law so as to maximize the aggregate amount of the Guarantied Obligations paid to Beneficiaries.
2. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty.The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, Guarantor agrees that: (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility; (b) Guarantied Party may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Co-Obligors and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such event; (c) the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Co-Obligors under the Credit Documents and the obligations of any other guarantor of the obligations of the Co-Obligors and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Co-Obligors or any of such other guarantors and whether or not any Co-Obligor is joined in any such action or actions; and (d) Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guarantied Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guarantied Obligations that has not been paid. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and Guarantor irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guarantied Obligations.
3. Actions by Beneficiaries.Any Beneficiary may from time to time, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or giving rise to any limitation, impairment or discharge of Guarantor’s liability hereunder, (a) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guarantied Obligations, (b) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (c) request and accept other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations and take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations, (d) release, exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for
payment of the Guarantied Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, (e) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Beneficiary in respect of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, may have against any such security, as Guarantied Party in its discretion may determine consistent with the Credit Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and (f) exercise any other rights available to Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, under the Credit Documents.
4. No Discharge.This Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations), including without limitation the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (a) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guarantied Obligations, (b) any waiver or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guarantied Obligations, (c) the Guarantied Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (d) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guarantied Obligations, even though Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guarantied Obligations, (e) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guarantied Obligations, (f) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any Co-Obligor may assert against Guarantied Party or any Beneficiary in respect of the Guarantied Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (g) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guarantied Obligations.
5. Waivers.Guarantor waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, as a condition of payment or performance by Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any or all Co-Obligors, any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Co-Obligor, any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Co-Obligor or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Co-Obligor including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of
the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Co-Obligor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon Guarantied Party’s or any other Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guarantied Obligations, except behavior that amounts to bad faith (nothing in this clause (d) shall or is intended to obligate Guarantor to indemnify Guarantied Party or any other Beneficiary for matters excluded from the indemnification obligations of Co-Obligors under the Credit Documents by reason of Guarantied Party’s or such other Beneficiary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct); (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, that are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and any legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of this Guaranty, notices of default under the Credit Agreement or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Co-Obligors and notices of any of the matters referred to in Sections 3 and 4 and any right to consent to any thereof; (g) any acts of any Governmental Authority of or in any jurisdiction affecting any Co-Obligor, Guarantor or any other Person, including any restrictions on the conversion or exchange of currency or repatriation or control of funds, a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in any jurisdiction or the imposition by any jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority thereof or therein of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction, or any total or partial expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition of any such Person’s property; any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in any jurisdiction; or any economic, political, regulatory or other events in any jurisdiction; and (h) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty.
6. Guarantor’s Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.; Subordination of Other Obligations. Until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and all Credits shall have expired or been cancelled or shall have been fully Cash Collateralized in accordance with the Credit Agreement, Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Co-Obligor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Co-Obligor, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Co-Obligor, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary and (b) any right of contribution Guarantor now has or may
hereafter have against any other guarantor of any of the Guarantied Obligations.

Any indebtedness of any Co-Obligor now or hereafter held by Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantied Obligations, and any such indebtedness of any Co-Obligor to Guarantor collected or received by Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amount paid to Guarantor on account of any subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights referred to in the preceding paragraph when all Guarantied Obligations have not been paid in full, shall be held in trust for Guarantied Party on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Guarantied Party for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations.

Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Co-Obligors on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of any Co-Obligor and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents, and Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Co-Obligors and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations.

10.[Intentionally Omitted]
11. Set Off.In addition to any other rights any Beneficiary may have under law or in equity, if any amount shall at any time be due and owing by Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty, such Beneficiary is authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice (any such notice being expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and to
apply any and all deposits (general or special, including but not limited to indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness of such Beneficiary owing to Guarantor and any other property of Guarantor held by a Beneficiary to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against and on account of the Guarantied Obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty.
12. Amendments and Waivers.No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Guarantied Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, Guarantor. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
13. Miscellaneous.It is not necessary for Beneficiaries to inquire into the capacity or powers of Guarantor or any Co-Obligor or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.
The rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by this Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the Credit Documents or any agreement between Guarantor and one or more Beneficiaries or between the Co-Obligors and one or more Beneficiaries. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by any Beneficiary in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
In case any provision in or obligation under this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Guarantied Party or any Beneficiary to bring proceedings against Guarantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

14. Counterparts.This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original for all purposes; but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

15. Guarantied Party as Agent.
(a) Guarantied Party has been appointed to act as Guarantied Party hereunder by Lenders. Guarantied Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action, solely in accordance with this Guaranty and the Credit Agreement;provided that Guarantied Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies under or with respect to this Guaranty in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

17. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Guarantied Party could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of Guarantor in respect of any such sum due from it to the Guarantied Party hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Guaranty (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Guarantied Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Guarantied Party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Guarantied Party from Guarantor, Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Guarantied Party or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so
purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Guarantied Party in such currency, by its acceptance hereof the Guarantied Party agrees to return the amount of any excess to Guarantor (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

If the Co-Obligors’ Agent or any Co-Obligor shall desire that any proposed or outstanding LOC be subject to an Allocation, the Co-Obligors’ Agent or any Co-Obligor shall so indicate to the applicable Agents and the applicable L/C Issuer at the time that the Co-Obligors’ Agent or any Co-Obligor shall submit the applicable notices otherwise required under the LOC Agreements and furnish to the applicable Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer the Notice contemplated hereby (appropriately completed). Such Notice must be received by the applicable Agents not later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as such Agents and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed Allocation. No Notice may be submitted at any time that any unreimbursed drawing exists under any LOC or if the issuance or amendment of the LOC which is the subject of the Notice would not then be permitted pursuant to the terms of the LOC Agreements. No more than six Notices may be submitted in any calendar month, and no more than 20 Notices may be submitted in any calendar year. All Notices submitted hereunder by the Co-Obligors’ Agent or any Co-Obligor shall be signed by a Responsible Officer.

Subject to the next sentence, each Agent shall confirm to the applicable L/C Issuer and the applicable Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, two Business Days after receipt of any Notice whether or not such Agent consents to the Allocation requested in such Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Agent consent shall be required under an LOC Agreement if Allocation of the LOC which is the subject of the Notice
constitutes a reduction of such LOC under such LOC Agreement; and an Agent shall not withhold or delay its consent to an Allocation unless, as of the effective date of the Allocation, the issuance or amendment of the LOC which is the subject of the Notice would not then be permitted pursuant to the terms of the LOC Agreement to which such Agent is a party.

If and only if the applicable Agents have confirmed their agreement to the Allocation (if such confirmation from an Agent is required under this clause (b)), the Allocation contemplated by such Notice shall thereupon be deemed to be effective as of the date specified in the Notice (which date shall not be earlier than the third Business Day after the date of such Notice), and such LOC shall be allocated under the Agreements as of such effective date in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares for the Agreements with respect to such LOC.
SECTION 4Participations; Application of Payments; Sharing.
(a)Participations. After and giving effect to any Allocation hereunder, the participating interests of the Participating Institutions under an LOC Agreement in any Allocated LOC which is the subject of such Allocation shall be determined based upon the Pro Rata Share of the applicable Allocated LOC outstanding under such LOC Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Participating Institutions under an LOC Agreement shall not have any funding obligations with respect to any drawing under an Allocated LOC, except to the extent of their respective participating interests in the Pro Rata Share of the applicable Allocated LOC outstanding under such LOC Agreement.
(b)LOC Payments; Fronting Fee and Other Payments. Each payment by or on behalf of any Co-Obligor or any other Person (other than by or on behalf of the Facility Participating Institutions, including but not limited to payments from the credit-linked deposit account established under any LOC Agreement) on account of any Allocated LOC (that is not allocated entirely to any one LOC Agreement, shall be made to the applicable Agents in accordance with the respective Pro Rata Shares under the applicable LOC Agreements for such Allocated LOC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) reimbursement by or on behalf of any Co-Obligor or any other Person (other than by or on behalf of the Facility Participating Institutions, including but not limited to payments from the credit-linked deposit account established under any LOC Agreement) of such L/C Issuer under an LOC Agreement with respect to any Allocated LOC shall be limited to the Pro Rata Share for such Agreement of any and all drawings under such Allocated LOC, and (ii) any fees payable to the Participating Institutions under the respective LOC Agreements in respect of the Allocated LOCs shall be determined by reference to the Pro Rata Shares of the Participating Institutions therein. Any fronting fee or other payment payable to an L/C Issuer under an LOC Agreement shall be determined based upon the Pro Rata Share of the applicable Allocated LOC outstanding under such LOC Agreement.
(c)Sharing. (i) If, despite the provisions of subsection (b), an L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 1 Agreement) or any Facility 1 Participating Institution shall receive any LOC Payment in respect of an Allocated LOC in excess of its portion of such LOC Payment to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement (taking into account the Pro Rata Share for the Facility 1 Agreement with respect such Allocated LOC) other than by reason of the
failure to fund by or on behalf of one or more of any of the Facility 2 Participating Institutions or the Facility 3 Participating Institutions, such L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 1 Agreement) or such Facility 1 Participating Institution, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Facility 2 Agent, or the Facility 2 Agent and the Facility 3 Agent, as applicable, and hold such excess portion of such LOC Payment in trust for the benefit of the parties entitled thereto and promptly pay over or deliver such excess portion of such LOC Payment to such Agent. Additionally, each L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility I Agreement) or such Facility 1 Participating Institution, as the case may be, shall purchase such participation as shall be required by it or them to permit the sharing of such excess LOC Payment in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

Additionally, each L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 2 Agreement) or such Facility 2 Participating Institution, as the case may be, shall purchase such participation as shall be required by it or them to permit the sharing of such excess LOC Payment in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. If all or any portion of such excess LOC Payment is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of any Co-Obligor or any other Person from such L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 2 Agreement) or such Facility 2 Participating Institution, as the case may be, each other party which shares in the benefit thereof shall return to the L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 2 Agreement) or such Facility 2 Participating Institution, as the case may be, its portion of the payment so recovered.
(iii) If, despite the provisions of subsection(b),an L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 3 Agreement) or any Facility 3 Participating Institution shall receive any LOC Payment in respect of an Allocated LOC in excess of its portion of such LOC Payment to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement (taking into account the Pro Rata Share for the Facility 3 Agreement with respect such Allocated LOC) other than by reason of the failure to fund by or on behalf any of the Facility1Participating Institutions or the Facility 2 Participating Institutions, such L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 3 Agreement) or such Facility 3 Participating Institution, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Facility1Agent, or the Facility1Agent and the Facility 3 Agent, as applicable, and hold such excess portion of such LOC Payment in trust for the benefit of the parties entitled thereto and promptly pay over or
deliver such excess portion of such LOC Payment to the Facility 1 Agent. Additionally, each L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 3 Agreement) or such Facility 3 Participating Institution, as the case may be, shall purchase such participation as shall be required by it or them to permit the sharing of such excess LOC Payment in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. If all or any portion of such excess LOC Payment is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of any Co-Obligor or any other Person from such L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 3 Agreement) or such Facility 3 Participating Institution, as the case may be, each other party which shares in the benefit thereof shall return to the L/C Issuer (as L/C Issuer under the Facility 3 Agreement) or such Facility 3 Participating Institution, as the case may be, its portion of the payment so recovered.

Schedule 5.08 — Litigation
Antitrust Proceedings— In October 2001, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC” or the “Commission”) filed an administrative complaint (the “Complaint”) challenging our February 2001 acquisition of certain assets of the Engineered Construction Division of Pitt-Des Moines, Inc. (“PDM”) that we acquired together with certain assets of the Water Division of PDM (the Engineered Construction and Water Divisions of PDM are hereafter sometimes referred to as the “PDM Divisions”). The Complaint alleged that the acquisition violated Federal antitrust laws by threatening to substantially lessen competition in four specific markets in the United States: liquefied nitrogen, liquefied oxygen and liquefied argon (LIN/LOX/LAR) storage tanks; liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tanks; liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks and associated facilities; and field erected thermal vacuum chambers (used for the testing of satellites) (the “Relevant Products”).
In June 2003, an FTC Administrative Law Judge ruled that our acquisition of PDM assets threatened to substantially lessen competition in the four business lines identified above and ordered us to divest within 180 days of a final order all physical assets, intellectual property and any uncompleted construction contracts of the PDM Divisions that we acquired from PDM to a purchaser approved by the FTC that is able to utilize those assets as a viable competitor.
We appealed the ruling to the full Federal Trade Commission. In addition, the FTC Staff appealed the sufficiency of the remedies contained in the ruling to the full Federal Trade Commission. On January 6, 2005, the Commission issued its Opinion and Final Order. According to the FTC’s Opinion, we would be required to divide our industrial division, including employees, into two separate operating divisions, CB&I and New PDM, and to divest New PDM to a purchaser approved by the FTC within 180 days of the Order becoming final. By order dated August 30, 2005, the FTC issued its final ruling substantially denying our petition to reconsider and upholding the Final Order as modified.
We believe that the FTC’s Order and Opinion are inconsistent with the law and the facts presented at trial, in the appeal to the Commission, as well as new evidence following the close of the record. We filed a petition for review of the FTC Order and Opinion with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. We are not required to divest any assets until we have exhausted all appeal processes available to us, including the United States Supreme Court. Because (i) the remedies described in the Order and Opinion are neither consistent nor clear, (ii) the needs and requirements of any purchaser of divested assets could impact the amount and type of possible additional assets, if any, to be conveyed to the purchaser to constitute it as a viable competitor in the Relevant Products beyond those contained in the PDM Divisions, and (iii) the demand for the Relevant Products is constantly changing, we have not been able to quantify the potential effect on our financial statements. The divested entity could include, among other things, certain fabrication facilities, equipment, contracts and employees of CB&I. The remedies contained in the Order, depending on how and to the extent they are implemented to establish a viable competitor in the Relevant Products, could have an adverse effect on us, including the possibility of a potential write-down of the net book value of divested assets, a loss of revenue relating to divested contracts and costs associated with a divestiture.

Schedule 5.08 — Litigation
Securities Class Action —A class action shareholder lawsuit was filed on February 17, 2006 against us, Gerald M. Glenn, Robert B. Jordan and Richard E. Goodrich in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entitled Welmon v. Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V., et. al. (No. 06 CV 1283). The Complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class consisting of all those who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities from March 9, 2005 through February 3, 2006 and were damaged thereby.
The action asserts claims under the U.S. securities laws and alleges, among other things, that we, in connection with various public statements made by the defendants during the class period, misapplied percentage-of-completion accounting and did not follow our publicly stated revenue recognition policies.
Since the initial lawsuit, other suits containing substantially similar allegations and with similar, but not exactly the same, class periods were filed.
On July 5, 2006, a single Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed in the Welmon action in the Southern District of New York consolidating all previously filed actions. On August 16, 2006, we and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint, which is currently scheduled to be heard by the Court on November 7, 2006 after briefing is completed. Although we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims made in the above action and intend to contest it vigorously, an adverse resolution of the action could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations in the period in which the lawsuit is resolved.
Environmental Matters— Our operations are subject to extensive and changing U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations and laws outside the U.S. establishing health and environmental quality standards, including those governing discharges and pollutants into the air and water and the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. This exposes us to potential liability for personal injury or property damage caused by any release, spill, exposure or other accident involving such substances or wastes.
In connection with the historical operation of our facilities, substances which currently are or might be considered hazardous were used or disposed of at some sites that will or may require us to make expenditures for remediation. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify parties to whom we have sold facilities for certain environmental liabilities arising from acts occurring before the dates those facilities were transferred. We are not aware of any manifestation by a potential claimant of its awareness of a possible claim or assessment with respect to any such facility.
We believe that we are currently in compliance, in all material respects, with all environmental laws and regulations. We do not anticipate that we will incur material capital expenditures for environmental controls or for investigation or remediation of environmental conditions during the remainder of 2006 or 2007.
Asbestos Litigation— We are a defendant in a number of lawsuits wherein plaintiffs allege exposure to asbestos due to work we may have performed at various locations. We have never been a manufacturer, distributor or supplier of asbestos products. As of September 30, 2006, the claims alleging exposure to asbestos that have been resolved have been dismissed or settled for an average settlement amount per claim of approximately one thousand dollars.

Schedule 5.08 — Litigation
With respect to unasserted asbestos claims, we cannot identify a population of potential claimants with sufficient certainty to determine the probability of a loss and to make a reasonable estimate of liability, if any.
We review each case on its own merits and make accruals based on the probability of loss and our ability to estimate the amount of liability and related expenses, if any. We do not currently believe that any unresolved asserted claims will have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations or financial position and at September 30, 2006 we had accrued $900,000 for liability and related expenses. We are unable to quantify estimated recoveries for recognized and unrecognized contingent losses, if any, that may be expected to be recoverable through insurance, indemnification arrangements or other sources because of the variability in the coverage amounts, deductibles, limitations and viability of carriers with respect to our insurance policies for the years in question.
Other —We were served with subpoenas for documents on August 15, 2005 and January 24, 2006 by the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its investigation titled “In the Matter of Halliburton Company, File No. HO-9968,” relating to an LNG construction project on Bonny Island, Nigeria, where we served as one of several subcontractors to a Halliburton affiliate. We are cooperating fully with such investigation.
