The Notes will be guaranteed (collectively, the “Guarantees”) by each of the subsidiary guarantors named in Schedule B hereto (the “Notes Guarantors”). The Notes and the Guarantees are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Notes and the Guarantees are to be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4 hereof), among the Company, the Notes Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as collateral agent.

The Notes will be secured on a second priority basis, subject to Permitted Liens (as defined in the Indenture), by liens on the assets of the Company and the Notes Guarantors that have been pledged on a first priority basis as collateral securing the ABL Credit Facility (defined below) (the “ABL Collateral”) and on a first priority basis, subject to Permitted Liens, by all the tangible and intangible assets (including Capital Stock) of the Company and the Notes Guarantors (the “Notes Collateral” and, together with the ABL Collateral, the “Collateral”), each as more particularly described in the Disclosure Package and documented by a security agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Security Agreement”), and other instruments evidencing or creating a security interest (collectively, with the Intercreditor Agreement referred to below, the “Security Documents”) in favor of U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the holders of the Notes.

The liens on the Collateral securing the Securities will be subject to an Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), by and between the Collateral Agent and Bank of America, N.A., as agent under the ABL Credit Facility, and acknowledged by the Company and the Notes Guarantors.

The sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers will be made without registration of the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Act”) in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act.

The Company has prepared and delivered to each of the Initial Purchasers copies of a preliminary offering memorandum, dated May 20, 2014 (the “Preliminary Memorandum”), and has prepared and delivered to each of the Initial Purchasers copies of a Pricing Supplement, dated May 20, 2014, in the form attached hereto as Schedule C (the “Pricing Supplement”), describing the terms of the Securities, each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The Preliminary Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are herein referred to as the “Disclosure Package.” Promptly after this Agreement is executed and delivered, the Company will prepare and deliver to each of the Initial Purchasers a final offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Final Memorandum”).

All references herein to the terms “Disclosure Package” and “Final Memorandum” shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder) prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) and incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package (including the Preliminary Memorandum) or the Final Memorandum (as the case may be), and all references herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Final Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Exchange Act after 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on May 20, 2014 or such other time as agreed by the Company and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (such date and time, the “Applicable Time”) and incorporated by reference in the Final Memorandum.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Notes Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Initial Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Supplemental Offering Materials, any Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and to reimburse each Initial Purchaser, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and each such controlling person for any and all expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated) as

such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates or other such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Representative expressly for use in any Supplemental Offering Materials, any Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company and the Notes Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Notes Guarantors and each of their directors, each of their officers, and each person who controls the Company or the Notes Guarantors within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company and the Notes Guarantors, or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Supplemental Offering Materials, any Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Supplemental Offering Materials, any Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or any such amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Representative expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company and the Notes Guarantors, or any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Representative has furnished to the Company expressly for use in any Supplemental Offering Materials, any Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or any such amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the fourth paragraph and the third sentence of the sixth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any liability, if applicable, other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it elects, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party

shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than local counsel), reasonably approved by the indemnifying party (or by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated in the case of Section 8(b)), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable

considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Notes Guarantors and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers as set forth herein bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8(c) with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8(c) for purposes of indemnification.

The Company, the Notes Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the investors. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company and the Notes Guarantors, each officer of the Company and the Notes Guarantors and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Notes Guarantors within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Notes Guarantors.

10. Default by One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers.

(a) If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six (36) hours after such default by any Initial Purchaser you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six (36) hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such

Securities, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period of not more than seven (7) days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Pricing Supplement, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments to the Pricing Supplement which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Initial Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities;

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection 10(a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh (1/11th) of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability for its default; and

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection 10(a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh (1/11th) of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Initial Purchasers as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Sections 8 and 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability for its default.

11. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the Nasdaq Global Market, Inc., or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, Inc. shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or New York authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change in United States’ or international financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities.

12. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Company and each Notes Guarantor acknowledge and agree that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Notes Guarantor, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company and the Notes Guarantor is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company and the Notes Guarantor or their affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company and the Notes Guarantor with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Notes Guarantor on other matters) and no Initial Purchaser has any obligation to the Company or the Notes Guarantor with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Notes Guarantor and that the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Notes Guarantor have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) among the Company, the Notes Guarantors and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Company and the Notes Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims in connection with issue and sale of the Notes that the Company and the Notes Guarantors may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

13. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery.

Sanmina Corporation

4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2019

May 20, 2014

This Pricing Supplement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum dated May 20, 2014. The information in this Pricing Supplement supplements the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Pricing Supplement have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes are not transferable except in accordance with the restrictions described under “Notice to Investors” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Terms Applicable to the 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2019

Issuer:		Sanmina Corporation (the “Company”)

Aggregate Principal Amount:		$375,000,000, which represents an increase of $25,000,000 from the amount reflected in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. Corresponding changes will be made wherever applicable in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Title of Securities:		4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”)

Final Maturity Date:		June 1, 2019

Offering Price:		100.000%, plus accrued interest, if any, from June 4, 2014

Coupon:		4.375%

Record Dates:		May 15 and November 15

Optional Redemption:		All or any portion of the Notes may be redeemed, at any time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) plus a make-whole premium.

		Prior to June 1, 2017, the Company may redeem up to 35% of

	the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at a redemption price equal to 104.375% of the principal amount thereof on the repurchase date, together with accrued and unpaid interest to such redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with the Capital Stock Sale Proceeds of one or more public or private sales of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock); provided that (1) at least 65% in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (2) such redemption occurs no later than the 120th day following such sale of Equity Interests.

Initial Purchasers:	Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
	Goldman, Sachs & Co.
	Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

Trade Date:	May 20, 2014

Settlement Date:	June 4, 2014 (T+10 business days)

Denominations:	$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof

	CUSIP: 801056 AA0	CUSIP: U79709 AA6

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about June 4, 2014, which will be the tenth business day following the date of pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being herein referred to as “T+10”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding six business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+10, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their own advisor.

Supplemental Offering Materials:

Investor Presentation, dated May 20, 2014

ANNEX A

(1) The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. Each Initial Purchaser represents that it has offered and sold the Securities, and will offer and sell the Securities (i) as part of their distribution at any time and (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S or Rule 144A under the Act. Accordingly, each Initial Purchaser agrees that neither it, its affiliates nor any persons acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities, and it and they have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Each Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of sale of Securities (other than a sale pursuant to Rule 144A), it will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the restricted period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

“The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the closing date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S (or Rule 144A if available) under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meaning given to them by Regulation S.”

Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.

Each Initial Purchaser further agrees that it has not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution or delivery of the Securities, except with its affiliates (who have agreed to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in this Annex A) or with the prior written consent of the Company.

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Securities in registered form may be offered, sold and delivered by the Initial Purchasers in the United States and to U.S. persons pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) of this Agreement without delivery of the written statement required by paragraph (1) above.

(3) Each Initial Purchaser further represents and agrees that (i) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company and the Note Guarantors; and (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”), each Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that it has not made and will not make an offer of the Securities in that Relevant Member State other than:

(a) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

A-1

(b) to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representative[s]; or

provided that no such offer of Securities shall require the Company or the Initial Purchasers to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of the above provisions, the expression “an offer to the public” in relation to any Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Securities, as the same may be varied in the Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in the Relevant Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member States) and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

ANNEX B

Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company

1. Each of the Company, HSC and Holdings is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under such laws. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.

2. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the State of California.

3. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company, HSC and Holdings.

4. The Securities and the Guarantees have been duly authorized and executed by the Company and HSC and Holdings, respectively. When the Securities are authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Securities and the Guarantees issued and delivered to the Initial Purchasers against payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Securities and the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

5. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, HSC and Holdings and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

6. Each of the Security Agreement, the IP Security Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement to which it is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, HSC and Holdings. Each of the Security Agreement, the IP Security Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

7. The execution and delivery by the Company, HSC and Holdings of the Transaction Documents, undertaking by the Company, HSC and Holdings of the covenants set forth in the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Securities and the Guarantees do not violate any provisions of any Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The execution and delivery by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Transaction Documents, the undertaking by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the covenants set forth in the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Securities and the Guarantees do not violate any provision of any U.S. federal or New York state law, rule or regulation or the DGCL. The execution and delivery by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Transaction Documents, the undertaking by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the covenants set forth in the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Securities and the Guarantees do not violate, or constitute a default under, any Reviewed Agreement, and do not violate any Reviewed Judgment.

8. No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any U.S. federal, New York or Delaware (solely with respect to the DGCL) governmental authority on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is required for valid execution and delivery by the Company or such Subsidiary of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the undertaking by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the covenants set forth in the Transaction Documents or the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture, except for (i) such consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations and filings as have been obtained or made and (ii) such consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations and filings as are expressly contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

9. The statements set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of the Notes” insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of the Securities and the Guarantees, fairly summarize in all material respects the matters referred to therein.

10. The statements set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as such statements purport to summarize provisions of the United States federal tax laws referred to therein, fairly summarize such laws in all material respects.

11. None of the Company, Holdings or HSC is and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum, will not be required to register as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

12. No registration of the Securities under the Securities Act is required for the sale of the Securities by the Company to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or for the initial resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent resale of the Securities).

13. The Security Agreement is sufficient to create a valid security interest in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) in the collateral described therein to the extent a security interest in such collateral may be created under Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

14. If a financing statement in the form of each UCC-1 Financing Statement is communicated to the Delaware Secretary of State by an authorized method of communication and an amount equal to the applicable filing fee is tendered to such filing office, such filing office will have an obligation to accept such financing statement. Upon acceptance of a UCC-1 Financing Statement by such filing office, the security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the collateral described in both such UCC-1 Financing Statement and the Security Agreement, and for which perfection under Article 9 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code may occur by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of State, will be perfected.

We have participated in conferences with certain officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the Initial Purchasers, counsel for the Initial Purchasers and representatives of the independent certified public accountants of the Company at which the contents of the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum and related matters were reviewed and discussed and, although we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum (except to the extent of our statements in paragraphs 9 and 10 of our opinion letter separately delivered to you today pursuant to the Purchase Agreement), and we have made no independent check or verification thereof, no facts have come to our attention in the course of such review and discussion that have caused us to believe that:

(i) the Disclosure Package, as of [·] [a.m./p.m.] New York time on May [20], 2014, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

(ii) the Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
