2. Securities Act exemption applicable

Pursuant to the terms set forth in the draft plan prepared under the safeguard procedure (procedure de sauvegarde) of the Company under articles L.620-1 ff. of the French Code de commerce (the “Safeguard Plan”) and the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of the Guarantors and certain other subsidiaries of the Company (as may be amended or modified, the “Plan of Reorganization”), the Company, on or before February 28, 2018, expects to issue up to $461 million (including a euro denominated tranche) in principal amount of Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) to certain holders of the Company’s 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020, 6.50% Senior Notes due 2021 and 6.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (collectively, the “Existing Senior Notes”) or those assignees permitted under the private placement agreement dated June 26, 2017.

The Notes will be issued under the Indenture to be qualified hereby (the “Indenture”), to be entered into by and among the Applicants, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as trustee, principal paying agent, calculation agent, transfer agent, collateral agent and international security agent, The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch as registrar and The Bank of New York Mellon, as U.S. collateral agent. The form of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit T3C.

The issuance of Notes and related guarantees in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million (the “New Money Notes”) will be made by the Company in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder, while the issuance of Notes and related guarantees in an aggregate principal amount of $86 million relating to accrued interest claims under the Existing Senior Notes (the “Interest Notes” will be made in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 1145(a)(1) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”).

Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws if three principal requirements are satisfied: (i) the securities must be offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and must be securities of the debtor under the plan; (ii) the recipients of the securities must hold a claim against the debtor, an interest in the debtor or a claim for an administrative expense in the case concerning the debtor; and (iii) the securities must be issued entirely in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or interests in the debtor, or “principally” in such exchange and partly for cash or property. The Applicants believe that the issuance of the Interest Notes (and related guarantees) under the Plan of Reorganization will satisfy the aforementioned requirements of Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and, accordingly, the Interest Notes will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

the Company consolidates or merges (fusion) with or into (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), or sells, assigns, transfers, leases, conveys, demerges (scission) or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to, another Person unless: (1) the Company is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance, demerger or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States (or any state thereof or the District of Columbia), France or any other member state of the European Union (as constituted on the Issue Date); (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance, demerger or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; (3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; (4) except in the case of a merger of the Company with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance, demerger or other disposition shall have been made, (i) shall have Consolidated Net Worth immediately after the transaction equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company immediately preceding the transaction and (ii) shall, at the time of such transaction and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09 of the Indenture; and (5) the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and any supplemental indenture in respect thereto comply with this provision and that all conditions precedent in the Indenture relating to such transaction or transactions have been complied with and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that the requirements of clauses (1) and (2) of this clause (f) have been satisfied;

(g)

default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, which default (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of any grace period provided in such Indebtedness, including any extension thereof (a “Payment Default”) or (ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates in excess of $25,000,000; and provided, further, that if such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 10 days from the continuation of such default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, an Event of Default and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; and provided, further, that any failure to pay amounts due in connection with charter agreements and related guarantees as a result of a good faith dispute between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the counterparty shall not constitute an Event of Default under this clause (g) for so long as such dispute is maintained in good faith by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

(h)

a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgment or judgments are not paid or discharged for a period (during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) of 60 days; provided that the aggregate of all such undischarged judgments (not covered by insurance) exceeds $25,000,000;

(i)

the failure of any Guarantor to perform any covenant set forth in its Subsidiary Guarantee or the repudiation by any Guarantor of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or the unenforceability of any Subsidiary Guarantee for any reason other than as provided in the Indenture ;

(k)

the Company or any Significant Subsidiary takes any corporate action or other steps are taken or legal proceedings are started under applicable bankruptcy laws for its sauvegarde, redressement judiciaire, liquidation judiciaire or other winding-up, dissolution, administration or reorganization (whether by way of voluntary or involuntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement or otherwise) or for the appointment of a mandataire ad hoc, conciliateur or administrateur provisoire, or other liquidator, receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, conservator, custodian, trustee or similar officer of it or of any or all of its revenues and assets; provided that this clause (k) shall not apply to an action, legal proceeding or other step (i) on vexatious or frivolous grounds or (ii) which is withdrawn or discharged within 40 days, in each case where such action, legal proceeding or other step was not commenced by, consented to or taken by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary;

(l)

any execution or distress is levied against, or an encumbrancer takes possession of, the whole or any part of, the property, undertaking or assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any event occurs which under the laws of any jurisdiction has a similar or analogous effect in relation to property, undertaking or assets the value of which is superior to $25,000,000, other than an action, legal proceeding or other step on vexatious or frivolous grounds or which is withdrawn or discharged within 40 days, provided that this clause (l) shall not apply to any execution, distress, seizure or any other of the foregoing actions, in each case in relation to any vessel, that are not the result of any action of or failure to act by any member of the Group; or

(m)

with respect to (i) Collateral relating to any Capital Stock of or voting rights in the Company or any intragroup loans granted to the Company or (ii) any other Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $2,500,000, one or more of the Security Documents shall, at any time, cease to be in full force and effect, or a Security Document shall be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or the relevant grantor (or a third-party creditor of the relevant grantor) or the security granted pursuant to a Security Document assets, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such Security Document is invalid or unenforceable for any reason other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under the Indenture and discharge of the Indenture, other than, in each case, pursuant to limitations on enforceability, validity or effectiveness imposed by applicable law or the terms of such Security Document or except in accordance with the terms of such Security Document, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or the Indenture, including the release provisions thereof.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, and the Trustee shall, upon the request of such Holders, declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (j), (k) or (l) above occurs with respect to the Company or any Guarantor, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium, if any, that have become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived.

If an Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Indenture, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.

Authentication and Delivery of the Notes; Use of Proceeds

One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If the Company has a corporate seal, it may be reproduced on the Notes and, if so, it may be in facsimile form.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under the Indenture. The form of Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by the Notes shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 to the Indenture.

The Trustee shall authenticate (i) the Original Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of (a) up to the Issue Amount less the Euro Amount (as defined below), in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated Original Notes, and (b) up to a euro equivalent of $100 million (the “Euro Amount”), in the case of euro-denominated Original Notes, (ii) Additional Notes (including any Additional Notes issued as PIK Interest pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Indenture) for original issue from time to time after the Issue Date subject to compliance with the terms of the Indenture in such principal amounts as may be set forth in a written order of the Company described in this sentence, in each case upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer, which written order shall specify (a) the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date of original issue thereof and (b) the amount of Notes to be issued in global form or definitive form.

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes (other than amounts paid as PIK Interest in accordance with the terms of the Indenture) outstanding at any time may not exceed (x) the Issue Amount less the Euro Amount, in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated Original Notes, and (y) the Euro Amount, in the case of euro-denominated Original Notes, plus such additional principal amounts as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of the previous paragraph, except as provided in Section 2.09 of the Indenture, and incurred pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 4.09 of the Indenture and clause (a) of the Permitted Liens definition.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in the Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company, any Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company.

There will be no proceeds (and therefore no application of such proceeds) from the issuance of the Interest Notes because such Notes will be issued in exchange for accrued interest claims under the Existing Senior Notes in connection with the Plan of Reorganization. The Indenture does not restrict the use of proceeds of the New Money Notes.

Release and Substitution of Property Subject to the Lien of the Indenture

(a)

The Collateral shall be released from the lien and security interest created by the Security Documents and the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, any other Additional Collateral Agent and the International Security Agent shall be authorized and directed for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties (without further consent, sanction authority or confirmation from any party) to release the Liens (or any other claim) over the Collateral and execute and deliver or enter into any release of such Liens or claim and issue any letters of non-crystallization of any floating charge or any ancillary document or consent to dealing that may, not in contravention of applicable law, be considered necessary or desirable:

(i)

upon repayment in full of the Notes;

(ii)

as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document;

(iii)

in a transaction that complies with the provisions of Article 5. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee will effect any release of the Collateral that is in accordance with the Indenture without requiring consent from the Holders, subject to the receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, certifying compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, from the Company;

(iv)

upon the defeasance, satisfaction or discharge of the Notes as provided in Article 8 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture;

(v)

upon (A) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (any of the foregoing, a “Disposition”) of Collateral to a Person (other than Dispositions to one or more Obligors) if such Disposition does not violate Section 4.10 of the Indenture; or (B) any Disposition of Collateral to one or more Obligors if such Disposition does not violate Section 4.10 of the Indenture; provided that this clause (v)(B) shall not be relied upon in the case of a Disposition of Collateral to an Obligor unless, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the relevant property and assets remain subject to, or otherwise become subject to, a Lien in favor of the Notes following such Disposition;

(vi)

upon any Authorized Merger;

(vii)

in accordance with Section 4.26 of the Indenture; or

(viii)

in the case of a Guarantor that is released from its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the release of the property and assets and Capital Stock of such Guarantor;

provided in each case (other than in the case of clause (iv)), that the Liens in favor of the First Lien Notes (or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) are also so released.

(b)

In addition, subject to Section 4.26 of the Indenture, if a refinancing or an increase of any Indebtedness secured with a Permitted Lien on Collateral is implemented in a manner that releases any security interests over all or some of the Collateral, the security interest over such Collateral with respect to the Notes shall be released automatically and replaced by new security in favor of the Collateral Agent, any Additional Collateral Agent or the International Security Agent (as applicable), on substantially the same terms as prior to release; provided that following such release and retaking, the Company is in compliance with the terms of Section 4.27 of the Indenture, and the security interests are legally valid and binding.

(c)

The Trustee (without further consent, sanction, authority or confirmation from any party) shall direct the Collateral Agent and any other Additional Collateral Agent to deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of Collateral upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with Section 11.04 of the Indenture; provided that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates.

Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture

The Indenture shall upon the written request of the Company cease to be of further effect with respect to all outstanding Notes (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes expressly provided for in the Indenture, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under Section 7.07 of the Indenture, and the Trustee’s and each Paying Agent’s obligations under Sections 8.06 and 8.07 of the Indenture), and the Trustee, on demand and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to such series, when:

(a)

either

(i)

all outstanding Notes therefor authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 of the Indenture and (B) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii)

all outstanding Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

(A)

have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise; or

(B)

shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

(C)

are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

and the Company or any Guarantor, in the case of clause (A), (B) or (C) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest and as certified by an independent public accountant designated by the Company expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be;

(b)

the Company and each Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums then due and payable by it under the Indenture;

(c)

no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; and

(d)

the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent in the Indenture provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with.

In order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, the U.S. Government Securities shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, or interest at least one Business Day before such payment date in such amounts as shall provide the necessary money. The U.S. Government Securities shall not be callable at the issuer’s option.

Evidence of Compliance with Conditions and Covenants of the Indenture

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee and post to its investor relations website, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under the Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in the Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or its equivalent body in France, as the case may be, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(a) of the Indenture shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Company’s independent public accountants (who shall be a firm of established international reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Article 4 or Article 5 of the Indenture or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under the Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

(a)

an Officers’ Certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 12.05 of the Indenture) stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in the Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and

(b)
