ARTICLE 3

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE; MANAGEMENT

SECTION 3.01 The Board

(a) In accordance with the provisions of the Organizational Documents, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by and corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board solely to the extent required by the DGCL or as set forth herein. To the extent not so required, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by and corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the President.

(b) The initial Board shall consist of three members, two of whom shall be nominated by Toshiba US, and one of whom shall be nominated by Shaw Sub. In the event that a Person acquires Shares and such Person’s Ownership Percentage exceeds 10%, then Toshiba US may provide such a Person with the right to nominate one Director and the total number of the Directors shall increase by such number; provided, however, that Toshiba US shall have the right to nominate such a number of the Directors as represent at least a majority of the member of the Board so long as Toshiba US’s Ownership Percentage is 51% or more. If at any time the Ownership Percentage of Shaw Sub is less than 10%, Shaw Sub shall lose the right to nominate one Director and promptly cause the Director nominated by it to resign from the Board, and the number of Directors will be immediately reduced by such number. Each Shareholder agrees that it will vote its Shares or execute consents, as the case may be, and take all other necessary action (including, if necessary, causing the Company to call a special meeting of Shareholders) in order to ensure that the composition of the Board is at all times as set forth in this Section 3.01 and that the nominees provided herein are elected to the Board. The members of the Board shall be the same as those of the UK Acquisition Co.’s Board.

(c) Each Shareholder agrees that it will not vote, or grant any consent with respect to, any of its Shares in favor of the removal from the Board of any Director elected at the request of the other Shareholders unless the Shareholder entitled to nominate such Director shall have consented to such removal in writing. Each Shareholder agrees to cause to be called, if necessary, a special meeting of the Shareholders of the Company and to vote all of the Shares directly or indirectly beneficially owned by such Shareholder for, or to take all actions by written consent in lieu of any such meeting necessary to cause, the removal of any Director from the Board if the Shareholder which nominated such Director requests in a writing, signed by such Shareholder, such Director’s removal for any reason.

(d) If, as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal or otherwise, there shall exist or occur any vacancy on the Board with respect to any Director, the Shareholder who nominated such Director in accordance with Section 3.01(b) shall within 30 days of such event notify the Board in writing of a replacement Director, and upon any such nomination (whether before or after such 30-day period) all Shareholders shall promptly take all actions necessary to ensure the election to the Board of such replacement Director to fill the unexpired term of the Director whom such new Director is replacing, including, if necessary, calling a special meeting of Shareholders and voting their Shares thereat, or executing any written consent in lieu thereof, in favor of the election of such Director.

(e) Meetings of the Board and general Shareholder meetings shall be presided over by the President. One of the two Directors nominated by Toshiba US shall be the President. A majority of the members of the Board then in office, provided such number includes at least one Director nominated by Toshiba US, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board, and all actions of the Board shall require the affirmative approval of at

least a majority of the votes of the Board to be cast at the relevant Board meeting. Each Director present at a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof shall have a number of votes at such a meeting equal to (a) the Ownership Percentage of all classes of stock of the Company, considered as a single class, owned by the Shareholder which nominated such Director for election to the Board, divided by (b) the number of Directors so nominated by such Shareholder who are present at such meeting. (By way of illustration, based on the Ownership Percentages as of the Closing Date, the Director nominated by Shaw would have 20 votes while the Directors nominated by Toshiba US who actually attend the meeting would collectively have 77 votes in the aggregate. As for Toshiba US nominated Directors, if two of them attend, then each would have 38.5 votes; if only one attends, he would have 77 votes.) In the event there is a vacancy on the Board and an individual has been nominated to fill such vacancy, the first order of business at any meeting held during such time shall be to fill such vacancy.

(f) Any one or more members of the Board may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of a conference telephone, video conference or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

(g) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board consent in writing to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the action. The resolution and the written consents thereto by the members of the Board shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board.

(h) The languages for all meetings of the Board shall be English. Translation and interpretation shall be provided as necessary or appropriate. All minutes and other documents to be presented to the Board shall be prepared (or, in the case of exhibits, summarized) in English.

(i) Notice of any meetings of the Board stating the place, date and hour of the meeting shall be given not less than five (5) business days before the date of the meeting.

(j) Any Shareholder who does not have a right under this Agreement to nominate a member of the Board shall have the right to designate an observer who may attend and monitor meetings of the Board, but who shall have no voting rights.

SECTION 3.02 The Owner Board

(a) There shall be constituted an advisory committee for the Board and the President (the “Owner Board”) which shall, pursuant to authorization by the Board and to the extent permitted by the DGCL, have the following functions and responsibilities:

(ii) To advise as to the resolution of any matters relating to the Company and brought to it which may have a Material Adverse Effect on any Shareholder;

Each Shareholder (for the avoidance of doubt, including Toshiba US) shall be entitled to appoint one Owner Board Member (who needs not be a Director) by notifying the Board in writing, and the President (as nominated by Toshiba US in accordance with Section 3.03(a)) shall serve as the Owner Board Chairman.

(d) If, as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal or otherwise, there shall exist or occur any vacancy on the Owner Board, the Shareholder who appointed such Owner Board Member shall within 30 days of such event notify the Board in writing of a replacement Owner Board Member.

(e) Meetings of the Owner Board shall be presided over by the Owner Board Chairman or, in the absence of the Owner Board Chairman, the Owner Board Member nominated by Toshiba US, in which case the Owner Board Member appointed by Toshiba US shall still be entitled to exercise his votes. Members of the Owner Board representing a majority of votes to be cast, plus at least attendance of two Owner Board Members, one of whom shall be an Owner Board Member nominated by a Party other than Toshiba US, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Owner Board. Notice of any meetings of the Owner Board stating the place, date and hour of the meeting shall be given not less than five (5) business days before the date of the meeting.

(f) Each Owner Board Member present at a meeting or acting by written consent (other than the Owner Board Chairman) shall have a number of votes equal to the percentage

ownership of the stockholder which appointed such person as an Owner Board Member; provided, however, that the Owner Board Chairman shall have no voting rights. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, all actions of the Owner Board shall require the affirmative approval of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at meetings of the Owner Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following specified actions may be taken by the Company, the Board, the Owner Board or any member of the Westinghouse Group without the vote of Owner Board Members holding voting rights at least 1% in excess of the Ownership Percentage of Toshiba US and any Affiliate thereof at the time the vote is taken (i.e., initially, seventy-eight percent (78%)):

(ii) the issuance by the Company of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares or any other Equity Securities which have dividend preferences;

(iii) the issuance of any Equity Securities in any member of the Westinghouse Group to any Person other than to members of the Westinghouse Group, which will result in the change of Control of such member of the Westinghouse Group;

(iv) the acquisition or disposition by any member of the Westinghouse Group of assets or property with a value in excess of ten million dollars ($10 million), other than in the ordinary course of business or the one already described in Schedule A attached hereto or the relevant Annual Budget;

(v) the incurrence by any member of the Westinghouse Group of indebtedness for borrowed money in the amount of ten million dollars ($10 million) or more, other than in the ordinary course of business or the one guaranteed by Toshiba or the one already described in the relevant Annual Budget;

(vi) any dissolution, liquidation or petition for voluntary bankruptcy of the Company or any member of the Westinghouse Group;

(vii) any merger, consolidation, restructuring, acquisition, disposition or similar transaction involving the Company or any member of the Westinghouse Group whose total value exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the then fair market value of the Westinghouse Group’s total consolidated assets;

(viii) the settlement of any Dispute or litigation or assumption of any obligation or liability with a value in excess of ten million dollars ($10 million) or more, other than in the ordinary course of business; and

(ix) any material changes to the tax or accounting policies of the Company or the Westinghouse Group.

(g) The Shareholders shall, and shall cause their respective Owner Board Members to, use their reasonable efforts to provide that ordinary meetings of the Owner Board are held at least once during each fiscal quarter. In addition, extraordinary meetings of the Owner Board may be held as necessary. In-person meetings of the Owner Board shall be held in the United States or any such other places as may be determined by the Owner Board.

(h) Any one or more members of the Owner Board may participate in a meeting of the Owner Board by means of a conference telephone, video conference or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

(i) The Owner Board may have an office. The office will serve as the point of contact for requests related to the Owner Board and notification made by the Owner Board Chairman and will handle any and all related administrative matters. The office also will serve as the point of contact for communications or coordination with the Shareholders and for related procedures.

(j) Toshiba US or one or more of its Affiliates may second up to two employees to serve in the administration of the Owner Board’s functions. Each seconded employee will be subject to the supervision of, and required to comply with the rules of conduct of, the Company and/or the entity from which he or she was seconded.

(b) The Shareholders intend that the Company will pay dividends in cash (unless otherwise agreed among the Shareholders) in an amount such that each Shareholder shall receive at least $22,222 for each Share per fiscal year (or a corresponding fraction thereof for the first and last partial fiscal year) as dividends, and a total of $133,332 per each Share over the first twenty four fiscal quarters from the PSA Closing, subject to applicable law.

(c) To implement the objective of Section 3.06(b), it is the policy of the Company to distribute as dividends with respect to each fiscal year of the Company a certain percentage (up to, but in no event, including dividend target shortfall of the UK Acquisition Co. set forth herein below, exceeding, 100%) of the consolidated net income of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as determined in accordance with GAAP as reflected in the consolidated financial statements of Toshiba for such period, which is available for distribution to Shareholders in accordance with applicable law (the “Distribution Ratio”) to satisfy the expectation set forth in Section 3.06(b) above. In any fiscal year, the Distribution Ratio may be reduced to no lower than 65%, subject to applicable law, if no A Accrual (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company) and B Accrual (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company) will exist after distributions for such fiscal year are made. The relative preferences of the Class A Stock and the Class B Stock shall be as set forth in the Organizational Documents. It is further the policy of the Company (i) to pay additional dividends to the holders of Class A Shares (other than Toshiba US or any successor owner of Shares owned by Toshiba US) to the extent the UK Acquisition Co. does not pay dividends in accordance with its dividend

policy with respect to Class A Shares of the UK Acquisition Co. and (ii) to reduce the amount to be paid in dividends to the holders of Class A Shares (except Toshiba US or any successor owner of Shares owned by Toshiba US) to the extent the UK Acquisition Co. pays dividends in excess of its policy with respect to Class A Shares of the UK Acquisition Co., all as described in the Organizational Documents.

(d) The parties expect that such dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis.

(e) All per share amounts in this Section 3.06 shall be adjusted as appropriate for any stock splits, reorganization or recapitalization with respect to the Shares of the Company.

(f) The Shareholders will initiate discussion in a timely manner after the Closing and collectively determine a policy for the distribution of net income in excess of that required to satisfy the provisions hereof and of the Organizational Documents.

(g) Should any former Shareholder be entitled to receive an unpaid A Accrual (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company) under Article IV, B.3.(c) of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, any other Shareholder which receives distributions from the Company in violation of that provision shall return such distributions to the former Shareholder.

SECTION 7.04 Rights of First Offer

(a) If, but always subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, any Shareholder proposes to Transfer any Shares (a “Transferring Shareholder”) other than pursuant to Section 7.02, the Transferring Shareholder shall, at least 60 days prior to such Transfer, deliver to the other Shareholders an offer (the “First Offer”) to Transfer such Shares upon the terms set forth in this Section 7.04. The First Offer shall state (i) the number and type of Shares the Transferring Shareholder proposes to Transfer (the “First Offer Shares”) and the name of the Transferring Shareholder, (ii) the name and address of the proposed offeree (if determined) and (iii) the proposed amount and type of consideration (including, if the consideration consists in whole or

in part of non-cash consideration, such information available to the Transferring Shareholder as may be reasonably necessary for the other Shareholders to properly analyze the economic value and investment risk of such non-cash consideration) and the terms and conditions of payment of the proposed Transfer, and shall be accompanied by a written offer from the proposed offeree (if determined) confirming the terms of the First Offer. The First Offer shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of sixty (60) days (the “First Offer Acceptance Period”) from the date of its receipt by the other Shareholders.

(b) Any Shareholder may accept the First Offer and purchase its pro rata portion of the First Offer Shares (based on the ratio such Shareholder’s Ownership Percentage bears to the Ownership Percentages of all Shareholders to which a First Offer Notice was delivered) by delivering to the Transferring Shareholder a notice of such acceptance in writing within the First Offer Acceptance Period. If any of the other Shareholders (other than Toshiba US) fails to accept the First Offer, then Toshiba US shall have the right to accept such portion of the First Offer as is not accepted by such other Shareholder within 14 days after the expiry of the First Offer Acceptance Period (the "Extended First Offer Acceptance Period”).

(c) If the other Shareholders do not, in the aggregate, purchase all of the First Offered Shares, then the Transferring Shareholder may, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the First Offer Acceptance Period or the Extended First Offer Acceptance Period, as the case may be, Transfer to the original offeree thereof any or all of the First Offered Shares not purchased by the other Shareholders on terms and conditions no more favorable to the original offeree thereof than are described in the First Offer, subject to Section 7.05, if applicable.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.04 shall not apply to Transfers contemplated by Section 7.05, Section 7.06 and any Permitted Transfer.

SECTION 7.05 Tag-Along Rights

(a) Toshiba US or any transferee thereof hereby agrees that if it wishes to Transfer, in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, to any third party Shares constituting a majority of the Shares held by it as of the Closing Date, then the terms and conditions of such Transfer shall include an offer by the transferee to the other Shareholders (the “Tagging Shareholders”) to include, at the option of each Tagging Shareholder, in the Transfer to the third party, all of the Shares beneficially owned by such Tagging Shareholder. If Toshiba US receives a bona fide offer to Transfer from a third party (a “Tag-Along Offer”), in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, a majority of the Shares held by it as of the Closing Date which it desires to accept, Toshiba US shall then cause the Tag-Along Offer to be reduced to writing and shall provide written notice (the “Tag-Along Notice”) of such Tag-Along Offer to the Tagging

Shareholders in the manner set forth in this Section 7.05. The Tag-Along Notice shall contain an offer by such third party to purchase or otherwise acquire, in addition to the Shares being acquired from Toshiba US, all of the Shares from the Tagging Shareholders at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Tag-Along Offer and shall be accompanied by a true and correct copy of the Tag-Along Offer (which shall identify the third party purchaser, the number of Shares which the third party is seeking to purchase or otherwise acquire with respect to which the Shareholders other than Toshiba US have not exercised rights of First Offer under Section 7.04, the price contained in the Tag-Along Offer and all the other terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Offer). Each of the Tagging Shareholders desiring to accept the Tag-Along Offer shall, within sixty (60) days after the date the Tag-Along Notice is received by such Tagging Shareholder (the “Tag-Along Notice Period”), deliver a written notice to Toshiba US (the “Tag-Along Exercise Notice”). In the event such third party purchaser shall modify the Tag-Along Offer in any way, Toshiba US shall send an amended Tag-Along Notice to the Tagging Shareholders reflecting such modifications and each Tagging Shareholder shall have until the later of thirty (30) days after the date such amended Tag-Along Notice is received by the it or the end of the original Tag-Along Notice Period, to deliver an amended Tag-Along Exercise Notice.

(b) If as of the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period, any Tagging Shareholder shall not have accepted the Tag-Along Offer, such Tagging Shareholder shall be deemed to have waived any and all of its rights under this Section 7.05; provided, that, such sale or disposition is completed on the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice within thirty (30) days after the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period.

SECTION 7.06 Call Rights

(a) In the event that any Shareholder other than Toshiba US is or becomes (or there are reasonable grounds for believing any Shareholder other than Toshiba US is or has become) insolvent, in liquidation or in voluntary or involuntary reorganization (each, an “Insolvency Event”), any of the other Shareholders may request valuation of the Company in accordance with Section 7.06(c). Within ninety (90) days after the determination of the Company Value pursuant to Section 7.06(c), each Shareholder shall have the right to purchase some or all its pro rata portion of the Shares owned by the Shareholder triggering the Insolvency Event (the “Insolvent Shareholder”) (such pro rata portion to be equal to the ratio of such purchasing Shareholder’s Ownership Percentages to the Ownership Percentages of all Shareholders other than the Insolvent Shareholder) by delivering to the Insolvent Shareholder a notice of such acceptance in writing within such period. Each Shareholder may also exercise the right before the determination of the Company Value pursuant to Section 7.06(c), and if so such Shareholder may cancel the exercise within thirty (30) days after such determination. As promptly as practicable after any Shareholder’s exercise of such right (or if a Shareholder exercises such right before such determination of the Company Value, after such determination), such Shareholder

and the Insolvent Shareholder shall enter into a customary purchase agreement for the purchase of such Shares. If one or more of the Shareholders has not indicated a desire to purchase all of the Shares permitted to be purchased by it pursuant to this Section 7.06(a), then the other Shareholders who have indicated a desire to purchase Shares in excess of the amounts otherwise permitted to be purchased by such Shareholder pursuant to this Section 7.06(a) shall be allocated the right to purchase an additional number of Shares until the entire number of Shares owned by the Insolvent Shareholder and desired to be so purchased shall have been allocated among the participating Shareholders.

(b) In the event that Control of any Shareholder (in case of Shaw Sub, including Control of Shaw) other than Toshiba US is directly or indirectly transferred or conveyed to, or is acquired by (or there are reasonable grounds for believing it has been), (i) a Competitor of Toshiba or (ii) any other Person and Toshiba US has not consented to such change in Control (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld in the case of acquisition by any Person other than a Competitor) (a “CIC Event”), Toshiba US may request valuation of the Company in accordance with Section 7.06(c). Within ninety (90) days of the determination of the Company Value pursuant to Section 7.06(c), Toshiba US shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares owned by the Shareholder triggering the CIC Event (the “CIC Shareholder”) by delivering to the CIC Shareholder a notice of such acceptance in writing within such period. Toshiba US may also exercise the right before the determination of the Company Value pursuant to Section 7.06(c), and if so Toshiba US may cancel the exercise within thirty (30) days after such determination. As promptly as practicable after Toshiba US’s exercise of such right (or if Toshiba US exercises such right before such determination of Company Value, after such determination), Toshiba US and the CIC Shareholder shall enter into a customary purchase agreement for the purchase of such Shares. The CIC Shareholders agree not to exercise any of its rights hereunder as well as those as a shareholder pending the completion of the acquisition by Toshiba of the Shares owned by the CIC Shareholder. For the avoidance of doubt, CIC Shareholder may not disclose any Confidential Information of the Company, the Westinghouse Group, and other Shareholders and their respective Affiliates to any third party including a Person Controlling the CIC Shareholder except in compliance with this Agreement.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event or a CIC Event, the Shareholders shall seek to agree upon the fair market value of the Company as of the date of such event determined on a going concern basis, without minority discount, marketability discount or premium for change of control, taking into account such considerations as would customarily affect the price at which a willing seller would sell and a willing buyer would buy in an arm’s-length transaction (the “Company Value”). If the Shareholders are unable to agree upon the Company Value within 60 days after the Insolvency Event or CIC Event, as applicable, then Shareholders holding 1% over the Ownership Percentage of Toshiba US and its Affiliates at the time of the Insolvency Event or CIC Event (i.e., initially Shareholders holding seventy-eight

percent (78%)) of the Shares shall appoint an independent investment banking firm of recognized international standing (the “IB Firm”) reasonably acceptable to each of them to make a determination of the Company Value. When the IB Firm has been selected, each of the Shareholders shall be permitted to submit a written submission within 20 days as to the matters such Shareholder believes are relevant to determination of the Company Value by the IB Firm; copies of the written submissions of each Shareholder shall be sent to the other Shareholders. The IB Firm shall allow each Shareholder 10 days in which to comment in writing on the written submissions of the other Shareholders. Within 45 days thereafter, the IB Firm shall determine the Company Value.

(e) In no event shall a holder of the Class A Shares have any obligation to sell any Class A Shares under this Section 7.06 unless all of its Class A Shares are purchased hereunder and all of such Shareholder’s (or its Affiliates’) Shares of the UK Acquisition Co. are also purchased concurrently.

ARBITRATION

SECTION 8.01 Arbitration

(a) All disputes, controversies or claims (“Disputes”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall first be settled as far as possible by negotiations between the Parties to the Dispute, in the form of meetings between senior-management level representatives of such Parties from their respective nuclear energy businesses, upon the written request (a “Request”) by any such Party to the other such Parties.

(b) If the Parties to the Dispute are unable to resolve a Dispute within two weeks after receipt by a Party of a Request, then such Dispute shall be settled as far as possible by negotiations between the Parties to the Dispute, in the form of meetings of representative officers (senior vice president or equivalent or above) of such Parties from their respective nuclear energy business.

The arbitrators so nominated, once confirmed by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC (“ICC Court”), shall nominate an additional arbitrator to serve as chairman, such nomination to be made within 30 days of the confirmation by the ICC Court of the second arbitrator. If the initial arbitrators shall fail to nominate an additional arbitrator within said 30-day period, such additional arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC Court. The arbitrators shall be required to submit a written statement of their findings and conclusions. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties to such Dispute, exclusive venue of arbitration shall be New York, New York, and the language of the arbitration shall be English and each of the Parties hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York for such purpose and for the enforcement of any arbitral award. By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings.

(d) None of the Parties or the arbitrators shall select any Arbitrator for the arbitral tribunal who has any interest in the Dispute or who has, or within the immediately preceding five years has had, any economic or other relationship with any Party to the Dispute.

(e) The award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between and among the Parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligation Law) but except to the extent the internal laws of the State of Delaware are required to apply.

SECTION 10.05 Counterparts

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Executed counterparts delivered by facsimile or electronically will be considered for all purposes to be equivalent to the executed original for binding effect.

SECTION 10.06 Entire Agreement

This Agreement contains the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the Parties with respect to such subject matter, including the Participation Agreements. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth in this Agreement has been made or relied upon by any Party.

SECTION 10.07 Effectiveness

This Agreement shall become effective subject to and effective upon the Closing and only upon the execution and delivery hereof by all of the Parties and shall continue in full force and effect until the dissolution of the Company, except as may be terminated earlier by the Parties; provided, however, that if the Investment Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing this Agreement shall also terminate as to such terminated Parties, without any further action by the Parties.

SECTION 10.08 Binding Effect; Benefit

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and, subject to Section 10.07, be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

SECTION 10.09 Assignability

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned or delegated in whole or in part by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such attempted assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null, void ab initio and without effect. Any permitted

assignment of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any Person acquiring Shares who is required by the terms of this Agreement to become a Party hereto shall execute and deliver to the Company and the other Shareholders an agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall thenceforth be a “Shareholder,” and any Shareholder who ceases to beneficially own any Shares at all shall cease to have any rights or obligations hereunder (other than as provided in Sections 3.06, (but only with respect to the A Accruals, as such term is defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company), 5.01, 8.01, Article 9 (but only with respect to the A Accruals) and 10.02).

SECTION 10.11 Survival

The provisions of Sections 5.01, 7.02, 8.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 and 10.13 and of this Section 10.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and any dissolution of the Company, together with the liability of any Party with respect to a breach of any agreement or covenant contained herein.

SECTION 10.12 Further Assurances

Each Party hereby agrees to execute and deliver all such other and additional instruments and documents and to do all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary more fully to effectuate this Agreement and carry on the business of the Company contemplated herein.

SECTION 10.13 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement is for the benefit of the Parties and is not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder.

SECTION 10.14 Specific Performance

Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that any breach by it of any provision of this Agreement would irreparably injure another Party and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in addition to any money damages, the other Parties shall be entitled to one or more injunctions enjoining any such breach and requiring specific performance of this Agreement and consents to the entry thereof.

SECTION 10.15 Preemptive Rights

(a) With respect to the issuance by the Company of additional Shares (“New Shares”), all Shareholders may elect to subscribe for and purchase for the issuance price offered by the Company a portion of such New Shares sufficient to maintain its current Ownership Percentage.

(b) The Company shall give each Shareholder thirty (30) days written notice before making any sale or offering of New Shares and shall advise the Shareholder of its rights under this Section 10.15 to participate in such offering. The notice shall describe the price and the terms on which the Company proposes to sell, transfer or otherwise sell or distribute such New Shares together with a calculation of the Shareholder’s Ownership Percentage and the number of shares it would be allowed to purchase under this section to maintain its Ownership Percentage after such sale was complete. Each Shareholder then shall have thirty (30) days after the date of the notice to advise the Company in writing whether the Shareholder will exercise its rights hereunder and to deliver payment in full for the New Shares it elects to purchase. If a Shareholder fails to deliver payment for its portion of the New Shares within the requisite time period, the Company shall proceed with the offering of such New Shares according to the plan described in the notice delivered to the Shareholder and any Shareholder failing to exercise such rights shall have no further preemptive purchase rights under this section in connection with the offering.

SECTION 10.16 Limited Recourse to Shaw Sub

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of Shaw Sub hereunder are limited recourse obligations of Shaw Sub, payable solely from its own assets and only to the extent of funds available after repayment in full of the Bonds and all other Secured Obligations. No recourse shall be had to any of the members, shareholders, subscribers, directors, officers, partners, employees or agents of Shaw Sub or any of their respective successors and assigns in respect to the obligations of Shaw Sub hereunder or arising in connection herewith.

(b) Each Shareholder agrees not to institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Shaw Sub any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under U.S. federal or state

bankruptcy or similar laws until at least one year and one day or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, after the repayment in full of the Bonds and all other Secured Obligations.

For the purposes of this Section 10.16:

"Bonds” means the bonds issued by Shaw Sub on or about the date hereof. Immediately after the issuance of the Bonds, Shaw Sub shall notify to Toshiba and the Company the amount and interest rate of the Bonds, provided that Shaw Sub shall be responsible for making the foreign exchange conversion to yen value transparent to Toshiba and the Company.

"Secured Obligations” means all amounts owed by Shaw Sub to the secured parties under and in connection with the Bonds.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
