Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)”: (i) the information contained in the third paragraph, (ii) the information contained in the third sentence of the sixth paragraph and (iii) the information contained in the seventh paragraph.

(c)            Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to 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 obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded 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; (iii) 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 the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any finding of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified person. An indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d)            Contribution. In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations set forth on Schedule 1 hereto and not joint. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

8.            Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above.

9.            Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by written notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on The New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Global Select Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended or limited on The Nasdaq Global Select Market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. federal, New York State or Singapore authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States or Singapore of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

10.            Defaulting Underwriter.

(a)            If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b)            If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c)            If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d)            Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

11.            Payment of Expenses.

(a)            Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors; (x) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities and (xi) any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities. Except as expressly provided elsewhere herein, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including without limitation the fees and expenses of their counsel.

(b)            If (i) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters or (ii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement (other than by termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9(i), 9(iii) or 9(iv) or for failure of the condition set forth in Section 6(i)), the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

12.            Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto; provided, that the benefit of Section 7 hereof shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to therein, and the affiliates of each Underwriter. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13.            Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties (it being understood that such representations and warranties are made only as of the date hereof and as of the date of any officers’ certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6(e)) and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters. The provisions of Sections 7 and 12 through 16 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

14.            Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; and (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

15.            Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

(d)            Submission to Jurisdiction. Any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, and each party hereto waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Company hereby appoints CT Corporation, with offices on the date hereof at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as their authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein that may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, by any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, and expressly accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding.

Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company.

(e)            Currency. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. dollars (the “relevant currency”), including by use of the symbol “$”, is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of any party hereto in respect of any amount due under this Agreement will, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the relevant currency that the party entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with its normal procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the business day immediately following the day on which such party receives such payment. If the amount in the relevant currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the party owing such obligation will pay such additional amounts, in the relevant currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation not discharged by such payment will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, will continue in full force and effect.

(f)            Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to themselves or any of their property, the Company hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of their obligations under this Agreement.

(g)            Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h)            Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i)            In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(ii)            In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Agreement or any other agreements, arrangements, or understanding between the parties hereto, each counterparty to a BRRD Party acknowledges and accepts that a BRRD Liability arising under this Agreement may be subject to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority, and acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be bound by:

(a)            the effect of the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority in relation to any BRRD Liability of any BRRD Party to it under this Agreement, that (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof:

ANNEX C

Form of Opinion of Xxxxxxx LLP

The Notes, when issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Notes Indenture and issued and delivered by the Company against payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will conform in all material respects to the statements relating thereto contained in the Time of Sale Information and the Final Prospectus.

The execution and delivery of the Notes Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement by the Company do not, and the performance by the Company thereunder will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of or default under any of the agreements identified on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Material Agreements”), (ii) violate any provision of any Applicable Law of the State of New York or any Applicable Law of the federal laws of the United States, or (iii) result in an imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance under the provisions of any of the Material Agreements upon any property, asset or revenue of the Company.

The execution and delivery by the Company of the Notes Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company thereunder will not, require any filing with or approval by any governmental authority or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America under any Applicable Law, except (i) as disclosed in the Final Prospectus, (ii) as have been made or obtained prior to the date hereof, or (iii) as may be required under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes.

The Notes Indenture constitutes a valid and binding obligation enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. When the Notes have been (a) duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the Notes Indenture and (b) issued and delivered by the Company against payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act, and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or threatened by the Commission.

The Registration Statement, as of November 30, 2022, and the Final Prospectus as of its date, each appeared on its face to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable form requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no opinion as to Regulation S-T or the financial statements and related notes, financial statement schedules or other financial or accounting data and information included in, incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus.

The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Final Prospectus will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The statements in the Time of Sale Information and the Final Prospectus under the heading “Material Tax Consequences - Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, accurately summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects.

Under the laws of the State of New York relating to the submission to personal jurisdiction, (i) the Company has, pursuant to Section 16(d) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 1.12 of the Base Indenture and Section 7.03 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, validly submitted to the personal jurisdiction of New York State courts and United States of America federal courts located in the City of New York and County of New York in actions arising out of or based upon the Underwriting Agreement, the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, (ii) the Company validly appointed CT Corporation System for the purpose described in Section 16(d) of the Underwriting Agreement and Section 7.03 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, and (iii) service of process effected on CT Corporation System in the manner set forth in Section 16(d) of the Underwriting Agreement and Section 7.03 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Company under the laws of the State of New York in connection with any such action.

10.

Insofar as the statements in the Final Prospectus under the caption “Description of Notes” purport to describe specific provisions of the Notes Indenture and the Notes, such statements present in all material respects an accurate summary of such provisions.

ANNEX D

Form of Opinion of Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP

The Company is a company duly incorporated and validly existing under Singapore law;

The Company has the corporate power and capacity to own or lease its property and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus;

No consent, approval, authorisation or order of or qualification with any governmental body or agency or stock exchange authority in Singapore is required under Singapore law for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the issue and delivery of the Notes;

The consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and the issue and offering of the Notes (a) have been, in the case of transactions to which the Company is a party, duly authorised by the Company and (b) do not contravene (1) any provision of Singapore law applicable to companies generally, (2) the Constitution of the Company, or (3) as far as we are aware, any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court of Singapore having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets;

Subject to any matters not disclosed to us, the Company has taken all necessary corporate action required under Singapore law to authorise the entry into, and the execution and delivery of, the Underwriting Agreement; and

subject to any matters not disclosed to us, the Company has taken all necessary corporate action required under Singapore law to authorise the entry into, execution and delivery of the Indenture;

The Notes have been duly authorised by the Company and, when the subscription moneys have been paid and entries in respect thereof have been duly made in the register maintained in accordance with the Transaction Documents and subject to paragraph 10, there is no reason so far as the laws of Singapore are concerned why, in any action in the courts of Singapore where New York law as governing law of the Notes is pleaded and proved, the obligations of the Company under the Notes would not be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company;

All payments in respect of the Notes may be paid by the Company to the holder thereof in United States dollars and freely transferred out of Singapore, without the necessity of obtaining any consents, approvals, authorisations, orders or clearances from or registering with any Singapore governmental agency or body or any stock exchange authority and, except as or in the circumstances set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Material Tax Consequences—Singapore Tax Considerations”, no taxes (including, without limitation, withholding, stamp, transfer or other taxes) will be imposed by Singapore or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein on payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to holders of the Notes who are not tax residents of Singapore and who do not derive such payments from any trade or business in Singapore;

The boxed sections, as set out in Appendix 1 respectively to this opinion, of the statements in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption "Material Tax Consequences—Singapore Tax Considerations" insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the Singapore legal matters referred to therein, fairly present the information called for with respect to such legal matters and fairly summarise the matters referred to therein;

It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Transaction Documents or the Notes, that any Singapore stamp duty be paid on them;

10.

The choice of New York law as the governing law of the Transaction Documents and the Notes will be recognised by the courts of Singapore as a valid choice of law provided that:

such law is proven to the satisfaction of the courts of Singapore;

such law will be disregarded if its application will be illegal or contrary to public policy or any applicable mandatory laws in Singapore; and

matters of procedure including questions of set-off and counter-claim, interest chargeable on judgment debts, priorities, measure of damages, limitation of actions and submissions to the jurisdiction of foreign courts are as a general rule governed by the laws of Singapore to the exclusion of the relevant expressed governing law;

11.

Subject to paragraph 10 and assuming that each Transaction Document is valid, binding and enforceable under New York law, there is no reason so far as the laws of Singapore are concerned why, in any action in the courts of Singapore where New York law as governing law of the Transaction Documents is pleaded and proved, and assuming due authorisation, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture), the obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents would not be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company;

12.

The submission by the Company to the jurisdiction of the New York courts contained in the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, and the appointment by the Company of CT Corporation as its agent for service of process in connection with the Underwriting Agreement and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture are, in each case, valid and binding on the Company under Singapore law, save that in cases where the Singapore courts have jurisdiction over a dispute, Singapore is a more appropriate forum for determination of the matter and the ends of justice will be better served by the dispute being determined in before Singapore courts, the Singapore court may in appropriate cases nonetheless exercise its residual jurisdiction to determine the matter; and

13.

A final and conclusive judgment on the merits properly obtained against the Company in any competent court of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States of America in New York for a fixed sum of money in respect of any legal suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to any of the Transaction Documents or the Notes and which could be enforced by execution against the Company in the jurisdiction of the relevant court and has not been stayed or satisfied in whole may be sued on in Singapore as a debt due from the Company if:

the relevant court had jurisdiction over the Company, in that the Company was, at the time such proceeding was instituted, resident in the jurisdiction in which such proceeding had been commenced or had submitted to the jurisdiction of the relevant court;

that judgment was not obtained by fraud;

the enforcement of that judgment would not be contrary to public policy of Singapore;

that judgment had not been obtained in contravention of the principles of natural justice; and

that judgment of the relevant court does not include the payment of taxes, a fine or penalty.
