[name of Holder/Representative]
Re: Note Exchange Agreement dated April 15, 2016
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is with reference to the Note Exchange Agreement, dated April 15, 2016 (the “NEA”), between Laureate Education, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Company”), and relating to the Exchanged Notes (as defined in the NEA) identified in Schedule 1 hereto as Existing Exchanged Notes and beneficially owned by the entities (each, an “Account”) identified as Holders in Schedule 1 hereto.
The signatory hereto, other than the Company, is herein referred to as the “Representative” and, to the extent the Representative is not also an Account, holds contractual and investment authority over each Account and is executing this letter agreement for itself and on behalf of each Account. Each Account, as well as the Representative, if the Representative is also an Account, is referred to herein as a “Holder.” To the extent any Holder is not also identified as a “Holder” in the Exhibit A to the NEA, such Holder became subject to the terms and conditions of the NEA pursuant to an Assumption Agreement (as defined in the NEA) executed by or on behalf of such Holder.
This letter is also with reference to the Indenture, dated as of July 25, 2012, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 13, 2012 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 29, 2015 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), and by the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 30, 2016 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) and the 9.250% Senior Notes due 2019 issued by the Company thereunder (the “Notes”).
Pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.2 of the NEA (the “Exchange Provision”), following a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the NEA), and before the redemption of the Notes, the Company and each Holder are to exchange such Holder’s Exchanged Notes (the “Existing Exchanged Notes”) for replacement notes.
The Company has notified the Representative that the Company has completed a Qualified Public Offering.
The Company has also notified the Representative that it may call for redemption some or all of the Notes and in connection therewith may issue 9.250% Replacement Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Replacement Notes”), as replacements for the Existing Exchanged Notes, which would not be redeemable by the Company, but would otherwise be substantially identical, in all material respects, to the Existing Exchanged Notes.
In order to confirm that the Existing Exchanged Notes will not be called for redemption when the Notes are called for redemption, the Company and the Representative (acting on its own behalf and on behalf of each Holder) have agreed to exchange the Existing Exchanged Notes for Replacement Notes (the “Note Exchange Transaction”) in accordance with the terms and conditions described in this confirmation letter (this “Letter Agreement”), and that the consummation of the Note Exchange Transaction shall be deemed to satisfy fully the obligations of the Company, the Representative and the Holders under the Exchange Provision.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Representative and the Holders hereby agree as follows:

The closing of the Note Exchange Transaction (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA Piper”), counsel to the Company, at The Marbury Building, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ on April 21, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), provided that the conditions to Closing set forth in Article III have been satisfied or waived, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Representative may agree either in writing or orally, but in no event later than April 25, 2017 (the “Outside Closing Date”).

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Representative and the Holders as of the date hereof, and as of the Closing Date, as follows, and such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing:
(a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the New Indenture, the Replacement Notes, and any other documents, agreements and instruments required to effect the Note Exchange Transaction (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), to carry out its obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.
(b) The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Company.
(c) This Letter Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. Upon the Closing, all of the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
(d) Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Representative, on its behalf and on behalf of the Holders, this Agreement constitutes, and upon the Closing each of the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions (as defined below). Without limiting the foregoing, upon the Closing, each Replacement Note will have been duly issued in accordance with the terms of the New Indenture and will be entitled to the rights and benefits thereof.
(e) The Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not (i) result in a violation of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a breach or default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitutes or would constitute a breach or default) under, or give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or other remedy with respect to, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under, or contemplated by, this Letter Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Representative and the Holders set forth in Section 2.2 hereof, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Replacement Notes is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and the New Indenture is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
Section 2.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Representative and the Holders. Each Holder (and, with respect to the last sentence of 2.2(a) only, the Representative), severally and not jointly, hereby covenants as follows, and makes the following representations and warranties, each of which shall be true and correct on the date hereof and as of the Closing and all such covenants, representations and warranties shall survive the Closing:
(a) Power and Authorization. Such Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, and has the power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Letter Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”) with respect to its Existing Exchanged Notes. If the Representative is executing this Letter Agreement on behalf of Accounts, (i) the Representative has all requisite discretionary and contractual authority to enter into this Letter Agreement on behalf of, and bind, each Account, and (ii) Schedule 1 hereto is a true, correct and complete list of the name of each Account and, with respect to each such Account, the portion of the aggregate Holders’ Existing Exchanged Notes attributable to it and subject hereto.
(b) Valid and Enforceable Agreement; No Violations. This Letter Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of such Holder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”). This Letter Agreement and consummation by such Holder of the Transactions will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of or default under (i) such Holder’s organizational documents (or any similar documents governing such Holder), or (ii) any laws, regulations or governmental or judicial decrees, injunctions or orders applicable to such Holder, except in the case of clause (ii), where such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults would not adversely affect such Holder’s ability to consummate the Transactions in any material respect.
(c) Title to Existing Exchanged Notes. Immediately prior to the Closing, (i) such Holder is or will be the sole legal and beneficial owner of the applicable Existing Exchanged Notes to be delivered at such date and set forth opposite its name on Schedule 1 hereto; (ii) such Holder has or will have good, valid and marketable title to such Existing Exchanged Notes, free and clear of any Liens; and (iii) upon such Holder’s delivery of its Existing Exchanged Notes to the Trustee on behalf of the Company pursuant to the Transactions contemplated hereby, such Existing Exchanged Notes shall be free and clear of all Liens created by the Holder or any other person acting for the Holder;

(e) No Affiliate, Related Party or 5% Stockholder Status. Such Holder is not, and has not been during the consecutive three month period preceding the date hereof, and will not be as of, and during the three month period preceding the Closing, an “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (an “Affiliate”) of the Company.

(h) Unrestricted Global Replacement Note. In connection with the exchange of each Holder’s Exchanged Notes for a beneficial interest in the Global Replacement Note in an equal principal amount (the “Exchange”), such Holder hereby certifies (i) the beneficial interest is being acquired for the Holder’s own account without transfer, (ii) such Exchange has been effected in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to such Exchanged Notes and the Global Replacement Note and pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act, (iii) the restrictions on transfer contained in the Indenture and the Private Placement Legend (as defined in the Indenture) are not required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act and (iv) the beneficial interest in the Global Replacement Note is being acquired in compliance with any applicable blue sky securities laws of any state of the United States.
(i) Holding Period. Each Holder is acquiring the beneficial interest in the Global Replacement Note solely in exchange for such Holder’s Exchanged Notes. Each Holder (a) purchased the Exchange Notes for cash and (b) beneficially owned its Exchanged Notes for a period of at least one (1) year or, if held less than one (1) year, then acquired its Exchanged Notes from a non-Affiliate of the Company that held such Exchanged Notes for a period that, when taken together with the holding period of such Holder, is at least one (1) year.

In lieu of paying accrued and unpaid interest on the Cancelled Notes for the period from, and including, March 1, 2017 to the Closing Date, the Company will accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Replacement Notes from, and including, March 1, 2017 as though the principal amount of the Replacement Notes was outstanding on March 1, 2017, which interest shall be due and payable on September 1, 2017. This Section 2.3 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Replacement Notes.
Section 2.4 Special Interest; Stub Special Interest on Cancelled Notes. The Company will pay additional interest on the Replacement Notes which shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the rate of 0.75% per annum from, and including, March 1, 2017 (“Special Interest”) as though the principal amount of the Replacement Notes was outstanding on March 1, 2017. Any amounts of Special Interest will be payable semiannually on each September 1 and March 1 (to the holders of record on the August 15 and February 15 immediately preceding such dates), commencing on September 1, 2017. The Special Interest on the Cancelled Notes for the period from and including March 1, 2017 to the Closing Date shall be paid by the Company on the Replacement Notes in accordance with this Section 2.4 and the New Indenture in lieu of the Company paying the accrued and unpaid Special Interest that would have been payable on the Cancelled Notes for such period. This Section 2.4 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Replacement Notes.
