Pursuant hereto, the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers signed by at least one Officer of each Issuer and delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate, or cause the relevant Authenticating Agent to authenticate, (i) the Notes in the form of Global Notes; or (ii) the Definitive Registered Notes from time to time issued in exchange for a like aggregate amount of Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including, in each case, any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuers pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07.

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents (each, an “Authenticating Agent”) acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. An Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do

52

so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or Affiliates of the Issuers.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuers will maintain one or more Paying Agents for the Notes. The initial Principal Paying Agent will be Citibank, N.A., London Branch.

The Issuers will also maintain one or more registrars (each, a “Registrar”) and one or more transfer agents (each, the “Transfer Agent”). The initial Registrar will be Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG and the initial Transfer Agent will be Citibank, N.A., London Branch. The Registrar and Transfer Agent will maintain a register reflecting ownership of Definitive Registered Notes outstanding from time to time, if any, and together with the Transfer Agent, will facilitate transfers of Definitive Registered Notes on behalf of the Issuers. Each such Agent hereby accepts such appointment; provided that the liability of each Agent hereunder shall be several.

The Issuers may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent for the Notes without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar in respect of the Notes. For so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and admitted for trading on the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuers will notify the Exchange of any change of Principal Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money.

The Issuers will require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee) not a party to this Indenture to agree in writing that such Paying Agent will hold for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium or Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuers or one of their Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuers or one of their Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to any Issuer or such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, its bankruptcy, voluntary or judicial liquidation, composition with creditors, reprieve from payment, controlled management, fraudulent conveyance, general settlement with creditors, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally), the Paying Agent will serve as an agent of the Trustee. The Issuers shall, before 10:00 a.m. London time on the day on which the appropriate Paying Agent is to receive payment, procure that the bank effecting payment for it confirms by fax or tested SWIFT MT100 message to the appropriate Paying Agent the payment instructions relating to such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to payments or disbursements to be made by such Paying Agent and Trustee (i) for which payment instructions are not made or that are not otherwise deposited by the respective times set forth in this Section 2.04; and (ii) until they have confirmed receipt of funds sufficient to make the relevant payment.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Registrar(s) will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. Following the exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes for Definitive Registered Notes, the Issuers will furnish to the Trustee and each Paying Agent at least two Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee or the Paying Agent may reasonably request in writing, the names and addresses of Holders of such Definitive Registered Notes. In case of inconsistency between the register of Notes kept by the Registrar and the one kept by the Issuers at its registered office, the register kept by the Registrar shall prevail.

53

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Ownership of interests in the Global Notes (“Book-Entry Interests”) will be limited to Persons that have accounts with DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, or Persons that may hold interests through such participants. Ownership of interests in the Book-Entry Interests and transfers thereof will be subject to the restrictions on transfer and certification requirements set forth herein. In addition, transfers of Book-Entry Interests between Participants will be effected by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, in each case pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.

Owners of the Book-Entry Interests will receive Definitive Registered Notes only in the following circumstances:

(1) if DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as depositary or has ceased to be a clearing agency required under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 120 days; or

(2) if any Holder of a Book-Entry Interest requests such exchange in writing delivered through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, following an Event of Default under this Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in clauses (1) or (2) above, the Issuers shall, at their own cost, issue or cause to be issued Definitive Registered Notes in such names as DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, shall instruct the Registrar or Transfer Agent, and such Definitive Registered Notes will bear the Private Placement Legend to the extent required under Section 2.06(f)(1) hereof, unless that legend is not required thereby or by applicable law.

Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a). Book-Entry Interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c). Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note of the same series or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note.

(b) General Provisions Applicable to Transfer and Exchange of Book-Entry Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of Book-Entry Interests shall be effected through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.

Book-Entry Interests in a Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in a Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Trustee to effect transfers of Book-Entry Interests in a Global Note for Book-Entry Interest in the same Global Note.

(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Book-Entry Interests in Global Notes. A Holder may transfer or exchange a Book-Entry Interest in Global Notes of the same series in a transaction not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above only if the Transfer Agent (copied to the Trustee and the relevant Registrar) receives either:

(3) Transfer of Book-Entry Interests to Another Global Note. A Book-Entry Interest in any Global Note of the same series may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in another Global Note of the same series if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the relevant Registrar, Transfer Agent or Trustee receives the following:

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that a Holder of a Definitive Registered Note proposing to exchange such Note for a Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note or to transfer such Definitive Registered Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note shall be applicable only to Notes of the same series.

(e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Registered Notes for Definitive Registered Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Registered Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e), the Transfer Agent or the relevant Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Registered Notes, which registration the Issuers will be informed of by such Transfer Agent or such Registrar (as the case may be). Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Transfer Agent or the relevant Registrar the Definitive Registered Notes duly endorsed and accompanied by a written

57

instruction of transfer in a form satisfactory to such Transfer Agent or such Registrar duly executed by such Holder or its attorney, duly authorized to execute the same in writing. In the event that the Holder of such Definitive Registered Notes does not transfer the entire principal amount of Notes represented by any such Definitive Registered Note, the Transfer Agent or the relevant Registrar will cancel or cause to be cancelled such Definitive Registered Note and the Issuers (who have been informed of such cancellation) shall execute and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the requesting Holder and any transferee Definitive Registered Notes in the appropriate principal amounts. In addition, the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 2.06(e).

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note of the same series is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in another Global Note of the same series or for Definitive Registered Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the relevant Paying Agent or Registrar, at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the Book-Entry Interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in another Global Note of the same series, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the relevant Registrar or Paying Agent, at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers will execute and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Registered Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

No service charge will be made by the Issuers or the Registrar to a Holder of a Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note, a Holder of a Global Note or a Holder of a Definitive Registered Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve, documentary or other similar tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.07 and 4.11 hereof).

No Transfer Agent or Registrar will be required to register the transfer or exchange of any definitive registered Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

All Global Notes and Definitive Registered Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(1) With respect to Senior Euro Notes.

(2) With respect Senior Dollar Notes.

60

The Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuers shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Issuers, the Trustee or the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted initially by facsimile with originals to be delivered as soon as practicable thereafter to the Trustee.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

If Definitive Registered Notes are issued and a holder thereof claims that such a Definitive Registered Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, or if such Definitive Registered Note is mutilated and is surrendered to a Registrar or at the office of a Paying Agent, the Issuers will issue and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent will authenticate a replacement Definitive Registered Note if the Trustee’s and the Issuers’ requirements are met. The Issuers or the Trustee may require a holder requesting replacement of a Definitive Registered Note to furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of both to protect themselves, the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent appointed pursuant to this Indenture from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Definitive Registered Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge for any expenses incurred by it in replacing a Definitive Registered Note.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Definitive Registered Note has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be redeemed or purchased by the Issuers pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers, in their discretion, may, instead of issuing a new Definitive Registered Note, pay, redeem or purchase such Definitive Registered Note, as the case may be.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee, or the Authenticating Agent, except for those canceled by it or the relevant Registrar or Paying Agent, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Paying Agent or the relevant Registrar in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of an Issuer holds the Note; provided, however that the Notes held by the Issuers or a Subsidiary of an Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 2.09 hereof and paragraph 5(c) of the Notes.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the relevant Registrar receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the principal amount and premium, if any, of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuers, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of an Issuer) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Acts by Holders.

In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of the Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, any Notes owned by an Issuer or by any Person directly or indirectly controlled, or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, an Issuer will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate, or cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of Definitive Registered Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers will prepare and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will authenticate Definitive Registered Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. Each Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the relevant Registrar or Paying Agent (other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary of an Issuer) and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy such canceled Notes. Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuers, on request. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) will deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Issuers pay the defaulted interest prior to the date that is 30 days after the date of default in payment of interest, no special record date will be set and payment will be made to the Holders as of the original record date.

Section 2.13 ISIN, CUSIP or Common Code Number.

The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use an “ISIN”, “CUSIP” or “Common Code” number and, if so, such ISIN, CUSIP or Common Code number shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN, CUSIP or Common Code number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the ISIN, CUSIP or Common Code number.

Section 2.14 Deposit of Moneys.

No later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the due date of the principal of, interest and premium (if any) on any Note and the Stated Maturity date of the Notes, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such day or date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee or relevant Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such day or date, as the case may be. Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 2.14 by the designated

62

Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall make payments on the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee and each Paying Agent of their failure to so act.

(h) No Payment. No Agent shall be required to make any payment under this Indenture unless and until it has received the full amount to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

63

(j) Notice of Possible Withholding Under FATCA. The Issuers shall notify each Agent in the event that they determine that any payment to be made by an Agent under any Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated, provided, however, that the Issuers’ obligation under this Section 2.15(j) shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Issuers, such Notes, or both.

(k) Agent Right to Withhold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under any Notes for or on account of any Taxes, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event the Agent shall make such payment after such deduction or withholding has been made and shall account to the Relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so deducted or withheld or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Issuers the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Issuers shall so account to the Relevant Authority for such amount.

(2) the redemption date and the record date;

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed;

64

(4) the redemption price; and

(5) the ISIN, CUSIP and/or Common Code numbers, as applicable.

(a) If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, Euroclear and Clearstream (for the Senior Euro Notes) or DTC (in the case of the Senior Dollar Notes) will credit their participants’ accounts on a pro rata pass-through distribution of principal basis (with adjustments to prevent fractions). No book-entry interest of less than €100,000 (with respect to the Senior Euro Notes) or $200,000 (with respect to the Senior Dollar Notes) principal amount may be redeemed in part and only in multiples of €1,000 (with respect to the Senior Euro Notes) or $1,000 (with respect to the Senior Dollar Notes). If the Notes are not held through Euroclear and Clearstream (for the Senior Euro Notes) or DTC (in the case of the Senior Dollar Notes), or Euroclear and Clearstream (for the Senior Euro Notes) or DTC (in the case of the Senior Dollar Notes) prescribe no method of selection the Notes will be selected, on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustments so that no Note in an unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such redemption. The Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not be liable for selections made under this Section 3.02(a).

(b) Notices of purchase or redemption will be given to each Holder pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 14.01.

(c) In relation to Definitive Registered Notes, a new Definitive Registered Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased or unredeemed portion of any Definitive Registered Note purchased or redeemed in part will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Definitive Registered Note. In the case of a Global Note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. On or after any purchase or redemption date, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof tendered for purchase or called for redemption.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

(a) At least 10 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the Issuers shall deliver electronically or mail or, at the expense of the Issuers, cause to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) or otherwise transmit, any notice of redemption in accordance with Section 13.01 and as provided below to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed or otherwise transmitted more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or Article 12 hereof. Notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing. If and for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and if and to the extent the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuers will notify the Exchange of any such notice to the Holders of the Notes and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuers will notify the Exchange of any change in the principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

(b) The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state (in each case, subject to Section 3.04):

(2) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, and if calculable at the time of the notice of redemption, the Additional Amounts, if any, to be paid;

(5) that interest, and Additional Amounts, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(6) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(7) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN, CUSIP and/or Common Code numbers, as applicable, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

(c) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, in which case a portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. In the case of a Global Note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. Subject to the terms of the applicable redemption notice (including any conditions contained therein), Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption (as delayed from time to time pursuant to such notice). On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.

(d) At the Issuers’ request, the Principal Paying Agent shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ names and at the Issuers’ expense. In such event, the Issuers shall provide the Principal Paying Agent with an Officer’s Certificate requesting that a notice of redemption be given together with a form of such notice at least three Business Days prior to the publication of the notice of redemption (or such shorter period as agreed by the Issuers and the Principal Paying Agent).

(e) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent will be liable for selection made as contemplated in this Section 3.03. For the Notes which are represented by Global Notes held on behalf of DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.

Section 3.04 Notice of Redemption Subject to Conditions Precedent.

Notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be given prior to the completion of a transaction (including, but not limited to, an Equity Offering, an Incurrence of Indebtedness, a Change of Control or other transaction) and any redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction.

If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (but not more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

(b) If the Issuers comply with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered, provided that any Note shall be in a principal amount of (a) €100,000 and in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof (with respect to the Senior Euro Notes) or (b) $200,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (with respect to the Senior Dollar Notes).

However, under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to offer to purchase Notes pursuant to Sections 4.07 and 4.11.

Section 3.08 Special Mandatory Redemption.

(a) In the event that (a) the Transfer Completion Date does not take place on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the Escrow Longstop Date, (b) the Issuers notify the Trustee and the Escrow Agent that in their reasonable judgment the AMP Transfer will not be completed by the Business Day immediately following the Escrow Longstop Date, (c) the Initial Investors cease to beneficially own and control a majority of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Company or (d) a Default or Event of Default arises with respect to either Issuer under Section 6.01(a)(5) on or prior to the Escrow Longstop Date (the date of any such event being the “Special Termination Date”), the Issuers will redeem all of the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the aggregate issue price of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, from the Issue Date to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

(b) Written notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption will be delivered by the Issuers, no later than one Business Day following the Special Termination Date, to the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent and the Holders and each tranche of the Notes shall be redeemed on a date that is no later than the fifth Business Day after such notice is given by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Escrow Agreement (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”). No later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Escrow Agent shall pay, on behalf of the Issuers, to the Principal Paying Agent for payment to each Holder the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such Holder’s Notes and, concurrently with the payment to such Holders, deliver any excess Escrowed Property (if any) to the Issuers.

(c) The Issuers and the Company acknowledge to the Trustee and agree that in the event that the Special Mandatory Redemption Price payable upon such Special Mandatory Redemption, including accrued interest

67

and Additional Amounts (if any) due with respect to the Notes from the Issue Date to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, exceeds the Escrowed Property (such excess, the “Escrow Contribution Amount”), Ardagh Group S.A. will be required under the terms of the Escrow Contribution Agreement to fund the Escrow Contribution Amount to the Issuers.

(d) Receipt by the Trustee from the Company of either an Officer’s Certificate for the Escrow Release or a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption shall constitute deemed consent by the Trustee for the release of the Escrowed Property from the Escrow Charge.

(e) If at the time of such Special Mandatory Redemption, the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuers will notify the Exchange that the Special Mandatory Redemption has occurred and any relevant details relating to such Special Mandatory Redemption.

82

(1) subject to clause (3) below, in the event that all or any portion of any item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant Section 4.06(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify, and may from time to time reclassify, such item of Indebtedness and only be required to include, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.06, the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in Section 4.06(a) or one of the clauses of Section 4.06(b), and Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.06 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.06 permitting such Indebtedness;

(2) with respect to clauses (5)(a), (7), (11), (13) or (18) of Section 4.06(b), if at any time that the Company would be entitled to have Incurred any then outstanding item of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(1)(b) or Section 4.06(b)(1)(c), such item of Indebtedness shall (unless otherwise elected by the Company) be automatically reclassified into an item of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(1)(b) or Section 4.06(b)(1)(c), as applicable;

(3) all Indebtedness under the ABL Facility Incurred as of the Transfer Completion Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(1)(a), and the Company shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness;

(4) for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.06, with respect to Indebtedness Incurred under a Credit Facility, re-borrowings of amounts previously repaid pursuant to “cash sweep” or “clean down” provisions or any similar provisions under a Credit Facility that provide that Indebtedness is deemed to be repaid periodically shall only be deemed for the purposes of this Section 4.06 to have been Incurred on the date such Indebtedness was first Incurred and not on the date of any subsequent re-borrowing thereof;

(5) in the case of any Refinancing Indebtedness, when measuring the outstanding amount of such Indebtedness, such amount shall not include any amounts necessary to pay accrued and unpaid interest and any fees and expenses, including any premium and defeasance costs, indemnity fees, discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses Incurred in connection with such refinancing;

(6) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included;

(7) if obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments are Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to any clause of Section 4.06(a) or Section 4.06(b) and the letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included;

(8) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof;

(9) in the event that the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into or increases commitments under a revolving credit facility, enters into any commitment to Incur or issue Indebtedness or commits to Incur any Lien pursuant to clause (29) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Incurrence or issuance thereof for all purposes under this Indenture, including for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, or usage of clauses (1) through (18) of Section 4.06(b) (if any) for borrowings and re-borrowings thereunder (and including issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will, at the Company’s option, either (a) be determined (i) on the date of such revolving credit facility or such entry into or increase in commitments (assuming that the full amount thereof (or, at the option

83

of the Company, a portion thereof) has been borrowed as of such date) or other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (in each case, pursuant to any letter, agreement or instrument, which may be conditional, including as to documentation) and/or (ii) on the date on which such facility or commitments become available, and, if such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, test or other provision of this Indenture is satisfied with respect thereto at such time, any borrowing or re-borrowing thereunder (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will be permitted under this Section 4.06 irrespective of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, or other provision of this Indenture at the time of any borrowing or re-borrowing (or issuance or creation of letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances thereunder) (the committed amount permitted to be borrowed or reborrowed (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances) on a date pursuant to the operation of this clause (a) shall be the “Reserved Indebtedness Amount” as of such date for purposes of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, and, to the extent of the usage of clauses (1) through (18) of Section 4.06(b) (if any), shall be deemed to be Incurred and outstanding under such clauses) or (b) be determined on the date such amount is borrowed pursuant to any such facility or increased commitment, and in each case, the Company may revoke such determination at any time and from time to time;

(10) notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.06 to the contrary, in the case of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance Indebtedness initially Incurred in reliance on a clause of Section 4.06(b) measured by reference to a percentage of LTM EBITDA at the time of Incurrence, if such refinancing would cause the percentage of LTM EBITDA restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the percentage of LTM EBITDA on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of LTM EBITDA restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance, costs and fees in connection with such refinancing; and

(11) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined on the basis of IFRS.

(d) Accrual and/or capitalization of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the reclassification of commitments or obligations not treated as Indebtedness due to a change in IFRS, will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.06; provided that the amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any outstanding Indebtedness may (in the Company’s sole discretion) be increased by the amount of all such accrued and/or capitalized interest, accreted value, original issue discount and/or additional Indebtedness in respect of such Indebtedness and such increased amount will not be deemed to be Indebtedness for the purpose of calculating any basket, permission or threshold under which such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be Incurred.

(e) If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.06, the Company shall be in default of this Section 4.06).

(f) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. Dollar equivalent); provided that for the purpose of the Incurrence of any other Indebtedness, the Company may elect to account for any such Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the determination date for the Incurrence of such other Indebtedness; provided further, that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount

84

of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (a) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (b) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums (including tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) Incurred in connection with such refinancing

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.06, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Section 4.07 Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition unless:

(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition), as determined in good faith by the Company, of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap);

(2) in any such Asset Disposition, or series of related Asset Dispositions (except to the extent the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap or relates to Non-Core Assets), with a purchase price in excess of the greater of (a) $40.0 million and (b) 7.5% of LTM EBITDA, at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments; and

(3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied:

(a) to the extent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), within 450 days from the later of (1) the date of such Asset Disposition and (2) the receipt of such Net Available Cash, (A) to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary secured by a Lien or (B) prepay, repay, purchase or redeem any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor; provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment, purchase or redemption of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (a), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (if any) to be reduced (including by a reduction in borrowing base or similar term in conjunction with such Asset Disposition or otherwise) in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, purchased or redeemed; or (C) to repay, prepay, purchase or redeem Pari Passu Indebtedness or (D) to redeem or purchase Notes; or

(b) to the extent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary elects, to invest in or commit to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary equal to the amount of Net Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 450 days from the later of (i) the date of such Asset Disposition and (ii) the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that a binding agreement shall be treated as a permitted application of Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment with the good faith expectation that an amount equal to Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for

85

any reason before such amount is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds,

provided further that, pending the final application of the amount of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (a) or (b) above, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise use such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.07(a), to the extent that (x) a distribution of any or all of the Net Available Cash of any Asset Disposition by a Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary (to the extent necessary to comply with this Section 4.07) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and fiduciary and statutory duties of the relevant directors) or (y) a distribution of any or all of the Net Available Cash of any Asset Disposition by a Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary (to the extent necessary to comply with this Section 4.07) could result in material adverse Tax consequences, as reasonably determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the portion of such Net Available Cash so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.07.

(c) The amount of any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested as provided in Section 4.07(a) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds” under this Indenture; provided that, if at the time of any definitive agreement, put option or similar arrangement in respect of any Asset Disposition or (at the option of the Company) the date on which Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition is received, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries is no greater than 4.50 to 1.00, 50.0% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition shall be deemed not to constitute Excess Proceeds and may be used by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. On the 451st day (or such longer period permitted by Section 4.07(a)(3)(B)) after the later of an Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds under this Indenture exceeds the greater of $135.0 million and 25.0% of LTM EBITDA, the Company shall make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) within 10 Business Days to all Holders under this Indenture and, to the extent the Company elects, to all holders of other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness, to repay, prepay or purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be repaid, prepaid or purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in respect of the Notes in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (and, in the case of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, an offer price of no more than 100% of the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repayment, prepayment or purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, and with respect to the Notes, in minimum denominations of €100,000 (with respect to the Senior Euro Notes) or $200,000 (with respect to the Senior Dollar Notes) and in integral multiples of €1,000 (with respect to the Senior Euro Notes) or $1,000 (with respect to the Senior Dollar Notes) in excess thereof; provided that if such Excess Proceeds are required to be offered first to the holders of the Senior Secured Notes or the holders of any other Secured Indebtedness under the terms thereof, the Company shall only be required to make an Asset Disposition Offer following the closing of the offer period in relation to the ABL Facility, the Senior Secured Notes or such other Secured Indebtedness. The Company will deliver notice of such Asset Disposition Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream or DTC, as applicable, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Asset Disposition and offering to repurchase the Notes for the specified purchase price on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to all Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the relevant 450 days (or such longer period as provided in Section 4.07(a)) or with respect to any unapplied Excess Proceeds.

(d) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes surrendered in any Asset Disposition Offer by Holders and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the

86

Company shall allocate the Excess Proceeds among the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be repaid, prepaid or purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness provided that the Company shall not be required to select and purchase Notes or other Pari Passu Indebtedness in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(e) To the extent that any portion of Net Available Cash payable in respect of the Notes is denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars or Euro, the amount thereof payable in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net amount of funds in U.S. Dollars or Euro that is actually received by the Company upon converting such portion into U.S. Dollars or Euro.

(f) For the purposes of Section 4.07(a)(2), the following will be deemed to be cash:

(1) the assumption by the transferee of Indebtedness or other liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness of an Issuer or a Guarantor) and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness or other liability in connection with such Asset Disposition;

(2) securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition;

(3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition;

(4) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the Issue Date from Persons who are not the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and

(5) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Dispositions having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.07 during the same fiscal year, not to exceed the greater of (a) $135.0 million and (b) 25.0% of LTM EBITDA (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

(g) To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws, rules and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture to the contrary, the provisions of this Indenture relative to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Disposition may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

87

(1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction or the execution of the agreement providing for such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; and

(2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate value in excess of the greater of (a) $75.0 million and (b) 15.0% of LTM EBITDA, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(9) any transaction in the ordinary course of business between or among the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Company or an Associate or similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely (i) because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any Permitted Holder owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Affiliate, Associate or similar entity or (ii) due to the fact that a director of such Person is also a director of the Company or any direct or indirect Parent Entity of the Company (provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or such direct or indirect Parent Entity of the Company, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person);

Section 4.12 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary and any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted

92

Investment”, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(c) If an Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, that designation will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.06 (including pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(5), treating such designation as an acquisition for the purpose of such clause), calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the Relevant Testing Period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence immediately following such designation. Any such designation by the Company or the re-designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to a Restricted Subsidiary as contemplated hereby shall be evidenced to the Trustee on the date of such designation or re-designation by filing with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation or re-designation complies with the preceding conditions.

(b) At the option of the Company, any Notes Guarantee may contain limitations on Guarantor liability to the extent reasonably necessary to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors (including those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally) or other considerations under applicable law.

(c) Section 4.13(a) will not be applicable to any guarantees of any Restricted Subsidiary:

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of an Issuer or any Guarantor (including any successor entity) (each, a “Payor”) in respect of the Notes or with respect to any Notes Guarantee, as applicable, will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law or by the relevant taxing authority’s interpretation or administration thereof. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of:

(1) any jurisdiction (other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia) from or through which payment on any such Note or Notes Guarantee is made (including by Paying Agent) or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax; or

(2) any other jurisdiction in which a Payor is organized, resident, or doing business for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (each of clause (1) and (2), a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),

will at any time be required by law to be made from any payments made by or on behalf of the Payor with respect to any Note or any Notes Guarantee, including payments of principal, redemption price, interest or premium, if any, the Payor will pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by each Holder in respect of such payments, after such withholding or deduction (including any such withholding or deduction in respect of such Additional Amounts), will not be less than the amounts which would have been received by each Holder in respect of such payments on any such Note or Notes Guarantee in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts will be payable for or on account of:

(1) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary,

94

member, partner or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant Holder, if the relevant Holder is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt, ownership, holding or disposition of such Note or the receipt of any payment or the exercise or enforcement of rights under such Note, this Indenture or a Notes Guarantee);

(2) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Note to comply with a reasonable written request of the Payor addressed to the Holder or beneficial owner, after reasonable notice, to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or to make any declaration or similar claim or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, whether required by a law, statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such Tax, but in each case, only to the extent the Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so;

(3) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes are imposed as a result of the presentation of the Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of the applicable payment date or the date the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the holder (except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);

(4) any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment made under or with respect to the Notes or to any Notes Guarantee;

(5) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Tax;

(6) any Taxes imposed, deducted or withheld pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as of the Issue Date (and any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations promulgated thereunder, or other official administrative interpretations thereof and any agreements entered into pursuant to current section 1471(b) of the Code, as of the Issue Date (and any amended or successor version described above), and including (for the avoidance of doubt) any intergovernmental agreement (and any law, regulation or practice implementing any such intergovernmental agreement) in respect of the foregoing; or

(7) any combination of the items (1) through (6) above.

(b) In addition, no Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment to a holder who is a fiduciary or a partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that the beneficiary or settler with respect to such fiduciary, the member of such partnership or the beneficial owner would not have been entitled to Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settler, member or beneficial owner held such Notes directly.

(c) In addition, the Payor will pay, and reimburse each applicable Holder for, any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary taxes, or similar charges or levies (including any related interest, penalties or other similar liabilities with respect thereto) or any other excise, property or similar taxes or similar charges or levies (including any related interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto) that arise in a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from (i) the execution, issuance, delivery or registration of the Notes, any Notes Guarantee, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument in relation thereto, or (ii) the receipt of any payments under or with respect to, or enforcement of, the Notes or any Notes Guarantee (limited, solely in the case of any such taxes attributable to the receipt of payments, to any such taxes that are not excluded under clauses (1) through (3), (5), or (6) above).

(d) The Payor, if it is the applicable withholding agent, will (i) make any required withholding or deduction, (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant tax authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) upon written request, provide certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so

95

deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, or if such tax receipts are not available, certified copies of other reasonable evidence of such payments as soon as reasonably practicable to the Trustee (with a copy to the Principal Paying Agent). Such copies shall be made available to the Holders upon reasonable request and will be made available at the offices of the Principal Paying Agent.

(e) If any Payor is obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment made on any Note or any Notes Guarantee, at least 30 days prior to the date of such payment, the Payor will deliver to the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable and such other information necessary to enable the Principal Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 45 days prior to the relevant payment date, in which case the Payor may deliver such Officer’s Certificate as promptly as practicable thereafter). The Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.

(f) Wherever in this Indenture or the Notes there is mentioned, in any context:

(1) the payment of principal;

(2) redemption prices or purchase prices in connection with a redemption or purchase of the Notes;

(3) interest; or

(4) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Notes or any Notes Guarantee,

such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(g) The foregoing obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner, and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction (other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia) in which any successor to a Payor is organized, resident, or doing business for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment under, or with respect to the Notes (or any Notes Guarantee) is made by or on behalf of such Payor, or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

Section 4.16 Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status.

(a) Following the first day that:

(1) the Notes have achieved Investment Grade Status; and

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture,

then, beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following Sections of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”): 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.13 and the provisions of Section 5.01(a)(3), and, in each case, any related default provision of this Indenture will cease to be effective and will not be applicable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) If at any time the Notes cease to have such Investment Grade Status, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reversion Date”) and will be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain Investment Grade Status (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Status); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any

96

kind shall be deemed to exist under the Notes Documents with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall bear any liability with respect to such Suspended Covenants for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

(c) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period (other than any Indebtedness incurred under the ABL Facility) will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.06(b)(4)(a). On and after the Reversion Date, all Liens created during the Suspension Period will be considered Permitted Liens pursuant to clause (11) of such definition. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though the covenants described under Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04. On the Reversion Date, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.08(c)(6). Any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to take any action described in Section 4.05(a) that becomes effective during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have existed on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.05(b)(1). On and after each Reversion Date, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any contract entered into during the Suspension Period, so long as such contract and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period.

(d) In addition, any future obligation to grant further Notes Guarantees shall be released. All such further obligation to grant Notes Guarantees shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date.

(e) There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Status.

(f) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of the ratings of the Notes and shall have no duty to notify Holders if the Notes achieve Investment Grade Status or upon the occurrence of the Reversion Date. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee that the conditions under this Section 4.16 have been satisfied, although such notification shall not be a condition for suspension of the applicable covenants to be effective.

Section 4.17 Deposit into Escrow Account.

(a) Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Notes on the Issue Date, the Issuers will enter into the Escrow Agreement with, inter alios, the Trustee and the Escrow Agent, pursuant to which the Initial Purchasers will deposit (i) the gross proceeds of the Senior Euro Notes sold on the Issue Date into the Senior Euro Escrow Account and (ii) the gross proceeds of the Senior Dollar Notes sold on the Issue Date into the Senior Dollar Escrow Account ((i) and (ii) together, the “Escrow Accounts”), in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

ARTICLE 5
MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION

Section 5.01 The Company.

(a) The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person, unless:

97

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be (x) a Person organized and existing under the laws of England and Wales, Germany, any member state of the European Union or the European Economic Area, or the United States of America, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia, Canada or any province of Canada, Norway or Switzerland or Australia or Bermuda and (y) the Successor Company (if not the Company) will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture and all obligations of the Company under the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the applicable Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the applicable Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the applicable Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default has occurred and is continuing;

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (a) the Company or the applicable Successor Company would be able to Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries would not be lower than it was immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction;

(4) any Guarantor (other than the Company), unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, will have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Notes Guarantee will apply to such Person’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes;

(5) the Company or the Successor Company, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (in the case of a Successor Company) comply with this Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture (in the case of a Successor Company) is a legal and binding agreement enforceable against the Successor Company, provided that in giving an Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to any matters of fact, including as to satisfaction of clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 5.01; and

(6) the Holders (or the security agent in respect of the Notes (if applicable) on their behalf) will continue to have the same or substantially equivalent (ignoring for the purposes of assessing such equivalency any limitations required in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles or hardening periods) guarantees and security (if any) over the same or substantially equivalent assets and over the shares (or other interests) in the Company or the Successor Company, save to the extent such assets or shares (or other interests) cease to exist (provided that if the shares (or other interests) in the Company cease to exist, security will be granted (subject to the Agreed Security Principles) over the shares (or other interests) in the Successor Company).

(b) The Successor Company will succeed to, and be the substitute for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Notes and the Indenture.

(c) This Article 5 shall not apply to the creation of a new Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transactions will be permitted without compliance with this Section.

ARTICLE 6

(a) Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) default in any payment of interest on any Note when due and payable, continued for 30 days;

(4) the occurrence of any default 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 which is Incurred or Guaranteed by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, which:

(a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness, at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) provided in such Indebtedness (a “payment default”); or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated final maturity (the “cross acceleration provision”),

and, in each case, the aggregate principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default of principal at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or the maturity of which has been accelerated, is in excess of the greater of (x) $165.0 million and (y) 30.0% of LTM EBITDA;

(vi) admits it is insolvent or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or commits an “act of bankruptcy” under any applicable Bankruptcy Law,

(6) failure by the Company, the Issuers or a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of the greater of (x) $165.0 million and (y) 30.0% of LTM EBITDA, other than any judgments covered by indemnities provided by, or insurance policies issued by, reputable and creditworthy companies, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days (after receipt of notice as described in Section 6.01(b)) after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed (the “judgment default provision”);

(7) the Escrow Charge shall, at any time, cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Charge, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture) for any reason other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under this Indenture or the release of any such security interest in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or the Escrow Charge or any such security interest created thereunder shall be declared invalid or unenforceable or the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall assert in writing that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and any such Default continues for 30 days;

(8) except as permitted under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement (including with respect to any limitations), any Notes Guarantee of one or more Guarantors that together constitute a Significant Subsidiary (a “Significant Guarantor”) is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or is denied or disaffirmed by such Significant Guarantor or any Person acting on behalf of it; and

(9) failure by the Issuers to consummate a Special Mandatory Redemption on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date as required under Section 3.08.

(b) However, a Default under Section 6.01(a)(4) or Section 6.01(a)(6) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuers of the Default and, with respect to Section 6.01(a)(4) and Section 6.01(a)(6), the Company does not cure such Default within 60 days after receipt of such notice.

100

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(5)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee may, and the Trustee (subject to certain conditions) at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(4) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(4) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, in each case, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) If an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(5) with respect to an Issuer occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

(c) Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.

(d) (i) if a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (an “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and (ii) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.02 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) Subject to Section 6.07 and Section 9.02 hereof, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes under this Indenture may waive all past or existing Defaults or Events of Default (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Note held by a non-consenting Holder, which may only be waived with the consent of Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to such Notes and its consequences (including the payment default that resulted from such acceleration) if rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

101

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered in writing, and if requested, provided to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the written request and the security and/or indemnity; and

(5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of Holders of not less than 90% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes affected.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section 6.01(a)(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07.

102

If the Issuers fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding in its own name for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to an Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent applicable, if the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee the Agents and their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, disbursements, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Agents (as the case may be) and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, respectively; and

Third: to the Issuers, to a relevant Guarantor or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as the Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 6.12 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuers, any Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.14 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 7
TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice, has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same degree of care that a prudent Person would use in conducting its own affairs.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(a):

(1) the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and no others, and no implied covenants, duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions expressly required under this Indenture to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own respective grossly negligent action, its own respective grossly negligent failure to act, its own respective willful misconduct, or its own fraud, except that:

(1) this Section 7.01(c) does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b);

104

(2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(3) the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Sections 6.02, 6.04 or 6.05 hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.01(a), (b) and (c).

(e) No provision of the Notes Documents will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee may refrain from taking any action if such action will result in the incurrence of a cost to the Trustee and the Trustee has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it (unless the Trustee has been offered security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any such expense). The Trustee will not be under any obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity (including by way of pre-funding) satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

(f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuers. Money held whether in trust or otherwise by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or any knowledge of any matter (including without limitation Defaults or Events of Default) unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee’s corporate trust and agency department has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof is received by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such notice clearly references the Notes, the Issuers or this Indenture.

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel or other professional advisors at the expense of the Issuers and the written advice of such counsel, professional advisor or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by them hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee may act through their attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by the Notes Documents; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence.

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuers will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of an Issuer.

(f) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Notes Documents at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee

105

indemnity and/or security (including by way of pre-funding) satisfactory to it against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g) The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the covenants of the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except: (i) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section 6.01(a)(2) (provided that it is acting as Principal Paying Agent); and (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer shall have received written notification. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.02 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(h) The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or liable for compliance with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to any transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of any interest in any Notes.

(i) The rights, privileges, indemnities, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified and/or secured (including by way of pre-funding) to its satisfaction, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and the applicable Notes Documents and by each agent (including the Agents), custodian and other person employed to act hereunder and the applicable Notes Documents. Absent willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence, the Trustee and each Agent shall not be liable for acting in good faith on instructions believed by it to be genuine and from the proper party.

(j) In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, will be taken and shall not incur any liability for its failure to act until such inconsistency or conflict is, in its reasonable opinion, resolved.

(k) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by acts of war or terrorism involving the United States, the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Monetary Union or any other national or international calamity or emergency (including, but not limited to, natural disasters, acts of God, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility), it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(l) The Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance or its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes.

(m) The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so.

(n) The Trustee will not be liable to any Person if prevented or delayed in performing any of its obligations or discretionary functions under the Notes Documents by reason of any present or future law applicable to it, by any governmental or regulatory authority or by any circumstances beyond its control.

(o) The Trustee shall not under any circumstances be liable for any consequential loss (being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit of any kind) or punitive damages of the Issuers, any Restricted Subsidiary or any other Person (or, in each case, any successor thereto) which arises out of or in connection with this Indenture, even if advised of it in advance and even if foreseeable.

106

(p) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as they may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, they shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuers personally or by agent or attorney.

(q) The Trustee may request that the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of the individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(r) Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, the Trustee and any Agent may refrain without liability from doing anything that would or might in its opinion be contrary to any law of any state or jurisdiction (including but not limited to the European Union, the United States of America, in each case, or any jurisdiction forming a part of it and England & Wales) or any directive or regulation of any agency of any such state or jurisdiction and may without liability do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

(s) The Trustee may refrain from taking any action in any jurisdiction if the taking of such action in that jurisdiction would be, in their opinion, based upon legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction, contrary to any law of that jurisdiction or, to the extent applicable, the State of New York.

(t) The Trustee may retain counsel and professional advisors to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture. The Trustee may consult with such professional advisors or with counsel, and the advice or opinion of such professional advisors or counsel with respect to legal or other matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by them hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or professional advisors.

(u) [Reserved.]

(v) The Trustee may assume without inquiry in the absence of actual knowledge that the Issuers are duly complying with their obligations contained in this Indenture required to be performed and observed by it, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event which would require repayment of the Notes has occurred.

(w) The duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent applicable.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee and the Agents in their respective individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of an Issuer with the same rights they would have if they were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee has actual knowledge that is has acquired any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 hereof.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes, any Guarantee, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers’ direction under any provision of this Indenture, they will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement other than its certificate of authentication.

107

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee is informed in writing of such occurrence by the Issuers, the Trustee must give notice of the Default to the Holders within 60 days after being notified by the Issuers. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06 [Reserved.]

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Issuers, failing which the Guarantors, shall pay to the Trustee and the Agents such compensation for their acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as shall be agreed in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s and any Agent’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers will reimburse the Trustee and the Agents promptly upon request for all disbursements, advances and expenses properly incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the properly incurred compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Agent’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Issuers, failing which the Guarantors, shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by them arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of their duties under this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuers and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and Additional Intercreditor Agreement against the Issuers and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending themselves against any claim, whether asserted by the Issuers, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person, or liability in connection with the execution and performance of any of their powers and duties hereunder), except to the extent any loss, liability or expense may be attributable to their gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers will not relieve the Issuers or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. Except where the interests of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, may be adverse, the Issuers or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers’ or such Guarantor’s expense in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel of its own choosing and the Issuers will pay the properly incurred fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither Issuer nor any Guarantor needs pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, any termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Agents.

(d) To secure the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(5) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law.

(f) The indemnity contained in this Section 7.07 shall survive the discharge or termination of this Indenture and shall continue for the benefit of the Trustee notwithstanding its resignation or retirement.

108

Section 7.08 Removal, Resignation and Replacement of Trustee.

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property;

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, (i) the retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Issuers), the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or (ii) the retiring Trustee may appoint a successor Trustee at any time prior to the date on which a successor Trustee takes office.

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will deliver a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by consolidation, merger or conversion to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

109

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is an entity established or registered under the laws of England and Wales, the United States of America or of any state thereof, or a European Union member state or a political subdivision thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, and which is generally recognized as an entity which customarily performs such corporate trustee roles and provides such corporate trustee services in transactions similar in nature to the Offering of the Notes as described in the Offering Memorandum.

Section 7.11 Resignation of Agents.

Any Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Indenture at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee and Issuers. The Trustee or Issuers may remove any Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to any Agent. Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Issuers, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Issuers are unable to replace the resigning Agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder in its possession to the Trustee or may appoint a successor Agent (provided that such Agent shall be satisfactory to the Issuers and the Trustee) and may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent or for other appropriate relief. The costs and expenses (including its counsels’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Issuers. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent. Upon its resignation and delivery of any funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.07.

ARTICLE 8
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuers may at any time, at the option of their respective Boards of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance.

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Notes Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Notes Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.06 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Notes Guarantees and the Notes Documents (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.05 hereof;

(2) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes under Article 2 hereof;

110

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 8.03 hereof.

If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and the rights of the Trustee and the Holders under the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, in effect at such time will terminate (other than with respect to the trust referred to in Section 8.05).

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, (a) be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.02, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 5.01 and 5.02 (other than with respect to clauses (1), (2) and (5) of Section 5.01(a)) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and (b) be released from the operation of Sections 6.01(a)(3) (other than with respect to clauses (1), (2) and (5) of Section 5.01(a)), 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5) (other than with respect to the Issuers and Significant Subsidiaries (or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of an Issuer), 6.01(a)(6), 6.01(a)(7) and 6.01(a)(8), in each case, with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of the Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Notes Guarantees, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Notes Guarantees will be unaffected thereby.

Section 8.04 Survival of Certain Obligations.

Notwithstanding Sections 8.02 and 8.03, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.10, 7.07, 7.08 and under this Article 8 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 and 8.08 shall survive.

Section 8.05 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, the Issuers must irrevocably deposit in trust with the Trustee cash in Euro, European Government Obligations or a combination thereof (in the case of the Senior Euro Notes) or cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof (in the case of Senior Dollar Notes),for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must deliver to the Trustee:

(1) an Opinion of Counsel, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, to the effect that beneficial owners of Notes, will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance

111

had not occurred (and in the case of legal defeasance only, such Opinion of Counsel must be based on a ruling of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law since the issuance of the Notes);

(2) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying, defrauding or preferring any creditors of the Company; and

(3) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

Section 8.06 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.07 hereof, cash in Euro or European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof and including the proceeds thereof, deposited with the Trustee (or such entity designated by the Trustee for this purpose, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.06, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuers will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash in Euro or European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof deposited pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Section 8.08 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash in Euro or European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Notes Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Principal Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(3) add to the covenants or provide for a Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(4) make any change that would provide additional rights or benefits to the Trustee or the Holders or make any change (including changing the ISIN, CUSIP or other identifying number on any Notes) that does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee or any Holder in any material respect;

(6) provide for any Restricted Subsidiary to provide a Guarantee in accordance with Section 4.06 or Section 4.13, to add Notes Guarantees with respect to the Notes, to add security to or for the benefit of the Notes, or to confirm and evidence the release, termination, discharge or retaking of any Notes Guarantee or Lien with respect to or securing the Notes when such release, termination, discharge or retaking is provided for under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement;

(12) to amend, supplement or otherwise modify the Escrow Agreement or the Escrow Charge in ways that would not be adverse to the Holders of Notes in any material respect.

113

In formulating its decisions on such matters, the Trustee shall be entitled to require and rely absolutely on such evidence as it deems appropriate, including Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Notes Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified with the consent of Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and, subject to certain exceptions, any default or compliance with any provisions thereof may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, without the consent of Holders holding not less than 90% (or, in the case of clause (9) below, 75%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

(1) reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any such Note (other than provisions relating to Change of Control and Asset Dispositions);

(2) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any such Note (other than provisions relating to Change of Control and Asset Dispositions);

(3) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any such Note or change the time at which any such Note may be redeemed, in each case as described under paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Notes;

(4) make any such Note payable in currency other than that stated in such Note;

(5) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor;

(6) make any change in Section 4.15 that adversely affects the right of any Holder of such Notes in any material respect or amends the terms of such Notes in a way that would result in a loss of an exemption from any of the Taxes described thereunder or an exemption from any obligation to withhold or deduct Taxes so described thereunder unless the applicable Payor agrees to pay Additional Amounts, if any, in respect thereof;

(7) release all or substantially all security interests granted for the benefit of the Holders in the Escrow Collateral other than in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Charge and this Indenture;

(8) waive a Default or Event of Default with respect to the nonpayment of principal, premium or interest or Additional Amounts, if any (except pursuant to a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of such Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration;

(9) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Notes Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement;

(10) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose holders must consent to any amendment, waiver or modification or make any other change in the amendment or waiver provisions which require the Holders’ consent pursuant to this Section 9.02.

For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of, or actions taken in compliance with, Article 4 of this Indenture shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of Holders to receive payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes.

114

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) any amendment, waiver or other modification affects the rights of the Notes, the consent of a majority of 90% or 75%, as the case may be, in aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be required to consent thereto and (b) any amendment, waiver or other modification affects only the rights of the Senior Euro Notes or only the rights of the Senior Dollar Notes, the consent of a majority or 90% or 75%, as the case may be, in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Euro Notes or Senior Dollar Notes, as applicable, shall be required to consent thereto (and in such case, the consent of a majority of 90% or 75%, as the case may be, in aggregate principal amount of the unaffected series of Notes shall not be required to consent thereto).

The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment of any Notes Document. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender.

Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee and the Issuers shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not impose any personal obligations on the Trustee or adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes Documents, as applicable. If it does, the Trustee and may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment complies with this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, as applicable, that such amendment is the legally valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and the Guarantors (if any) enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions.

Section 9.06 Additional Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) At the request of the Company, in connection with the Incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of (x) any Indebtedness secured on collateral securing the ABL Facility or the Senior Secured Notes or as otherwise required herein and (y) any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness referred to in the foregoing clause (x), the Company, the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries and the Trustee shall enter into with the holders of such Indebtedness (or their duly authorized representatives) an intercreditor agreement (an “Additional Intercreditor Agreement”) or a restatement, amendment or other modification of the existing Intercreditor Agreement on substantially the same terms as the Intercreditor Agreement (or terms not materially less favorable to the Holders (taken as a whole)), including substantially the same terms with respect to release of Notes Guarantees; provided that (1) such Additional Intercreditor Agreement will not impose any personal obligations on the Trustee or, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities, indemnities or immunities of the Trustee under this

115

Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and (2) if more than one such intercreditor agreement is outstanding at any time, the correlative terms of such intercreditor agreements must not conflict.

(b) At the direction of the Company and without the consent of Holders, the Trustee shall from time to time enter into one or more amendments to the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement to: (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, manifest error or inconsistency of any such agreement, (2) increase the amount or types of Indebtedness covered by any such agreement that may be Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is subject to any such agreement (including with respect to the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, the addition of provisions relating to new Indebtedness ranking junior in right of payment to the Notes), (3) add Restricted Subsidiaries to the Intercreditor Agreement or an Additional Intercreditor Agreement, (4) secure the Notes (including any Additional Notes) or further secured the ABL Facility or Senior Secured Notes (including any Additional Notes (as defined in the Senior Secured Indenture)), (5) amend the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof or (6) make any other change to any such agreement that does not adversely affect the Holders (taken as a whole) in any material respect. The Company shall not otherwise direct the Trustee to enter into any amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the Holders of the majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, except as otherwise permitted under this Article 9, and the Company may only direct the Trustee to enter into any amendment to the extent such amendment does not impose any personal obligations on the Trustee or, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely affect their respective rights, duties, liabilities, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) In relation to the Intercreditor Agreement or Additional Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee shall consent on behalf of the Holders to the payment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition, retirement or redemption of any obligations subordinated to the Notes thereby; provided, however, that such transaction would comply with Section 4.04.

(d) Each Holder, by accepting a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to and accepted the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement (whether then entered into or entered into in the future pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.06) and to have directed the Trustee to enter into such Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

(e) A copy of the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement shall be made available for inspection during normal business hours on any Business Day upon prior written request at the office of the Issuers.

ARTICLE 10
ESCROW CHARGE AND ESCROW AGREEMENT

Subject to the provisions of Article 7 hereof, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

(1) enforce any of the terms of the Escrow Charge and the Escrow Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Charge and the Escrow Agreement, respectively; and

(2) collect and receive any and all amounts payable thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Charge and the Escrow Agreement, respectively.

Subject to the provisions hereof, the Escrow Charge and the Escrow Agreement, the Trustee shall have power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent or remedy any impairment of the security interest in the Escrow Collateral under the Escrow Charge by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Escrow Charge, the Escrow Agreement or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Escrow Charge (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative

116

or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Escrow Charge or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or of the Trustee).

The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Escrow Charge and the Escrow Agreement, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

Without limiting the Trustee’s rights to act in preservation of the security interest in the Escrow Collateral under the Escrow Charge, the Trustee agrees that it will hold the security interests in the Escrow Collateral created under the Escrow Charge as contemplated by this Indenture, and any and all proceeds thereof, for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee and the Holders.

ARTICLE 11
NOTES GUARANTEES

Section 11.01 Notes Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee (or the Authenticating Agent) and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder (such Guarantee, a “Notes Guarantee”), that:

(1) the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) Subject to this Article 11, the Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Notes Guarantee will not

117

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Notes Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Notes Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Notes Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Limitation on Liability.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee shall be limited under the relevant laws applicable to such Guarantor and the granting of such Notes Guarantees (including laws relating to corporate benefit, capital preservation, financial assistance, fraudulent conveyances and transfers, voidable preferences or transactions under value), provided that, with respect to each jurisdiction described below, such obligations shall be limited in the manner described below or in any supplemental indenture. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Issuers, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited (i) to the maximum amount that would, after giving notice to the Trustee of such maximum amount and giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of foreign or state law or corporate benefit, financial assistance and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, (ii) as provided under the Agreed Security Principles and, (iii) with respect to each jurisdiction described below, in the manner described below or in any supplemental indenture.

Section 11.03 [Reserved].

(a) Neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Notes Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that its Notes Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Notes Guarantee.

(c) Each Subsidiary which is required to become or intends to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Indenture will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached to this Indenture as Exhibit D pursuant to which such Subsidiary will become a Guarantor under this Article 11.

Section 11.05 Releases.

(a) The Notes Guarantee of a Guarantor will automatically terminate and be released:

(1) upon a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger, or amalgamation) of any Capital Stock of the relevant Guarantor (whether by direct sale or sale of a holding company of such Guarantor) as a result of which such Guarantor would no longer be a Restricted Subsidiary, or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), in each case if such sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition does not violate this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement;

118

(2) upon the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

(3) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes in accordance with this Indenture, as provided in Article 8 and Article 12, respectively;

(4) upon the release of the Guarantor’s Guarantee of any Indebtedness that triggered such Guarantor’s obligation to guarantee the Notes under Section 4.13; provided that no other Indebtedness is at that time Guaranteed by the Guarantor that would result in the requirement that the Guarantor provide a Notes Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.13;

(5) pursuant to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement;

(6) as described under Article 9;

(7) in connection with a Permitted Reorganization; provided that the resulting, surviving or transferee Person is or becomes a Guarantor substantially concurrently with such Permitted Reorganization;

(8) upon payment in full of principal and interest and all other obligations on the Notes; or

(9) as a result of a transaction permitted by Article 5.

(b) The Trustee shall, subject to receipt of an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to this Indenture, take all necessary actions at the reasonable request and cost of the Company, including the granting of releases or waivers under the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, to effectuate any release of a Notes Guarantee in accordance with these provisions, subject to customary protections and indemnifications. Each of the releases set forth above shall be effected by the Trustee without the consent of the Holders and will not require any other action or consent on the part of the Trustee. Neither the Trustee nor the Company will be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any such release, termination or discharge.

ARTICLE 12
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture, and the rights of the Trustee and the Holders under the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement will be discharged and cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of transfer or exchange of the Notes and rights of the Trustee, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all Notes of a series issued thereunder when (1) either (a) all the Notes of that series previously authenticated and delivered (other than certain lost, stolen or destroyed Notes and certain Notes for which provision for payment was previously made and thereafter the funds have been released to the Issuers) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all Notes of that series not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) 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 Issuers; (2) the Issuers have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, money in Euro, European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof (in the case of Senior Euro Notes) or money in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof (in the case of Senior Dollar Notes), as applicable, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes of that series not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and interest to the date of deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; (3) the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; (4) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes of that series at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be; and (5) the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions

119

precedent under this Section 12.01 relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3)). If requested in writing by the Issuers, the Trustee may distribute any amounts deposited to the Holders prior to Stated Maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Holders shall have received at least three Business Days’ notice from the Issuers of such earlier repayment date (which may be included in the notice of redemption). For the avoidance of doubt, the distribution and payment to Holders prior to the maturity or redemption date as set forth above will not include any negative interest, present value adjustment, break costs or any other premium on such amounts.

Section 12.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.07, all money deposited with the Trustee (or such entity designated (or appointed as Agent of the Trustee) by the Trustee for this purpose) pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or any Paying Agent (or such entity designated (or appointed as agent of the Trustee) by the Trustee for this purpose) is unable to apply any Euro or European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof or in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the Euro or European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

The Issuers have appointed and each of the Guarantors (if any) will appoint Law Debenture Corporate Services Inc., 801 2nd Avenue, Suite 403, New York, NY 10017 as its authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding which may be instituted in any U.S. federal or state court located in the State and City of New York, Borough of Manhattan arising out of or based upon this Indenture, the Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and any action brought under U.S. federal or state securities laws (the “Authorized Agent”).

Schedule I - 1

Schedule II

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

The guarantees to be provided under and in connection with this Indenture will be given in accordance with the guarantee principles set out in this Schedule II.

1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1.1 The Agreed Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective guarantees from the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (collectively, the “Group”) in certain jurisdictions. In particular:

(a) mandatory law provisions, general legal, statutory and constitutional documents’ limitations, capital maintenance, the prohibition of an intervention threatening the existence of a German member of the Group (Verstoß gegen das Verbot des existenzvernichtenden Eingriffs), financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalization” rules, “transfer pricing”, retention of title claims, exchange control restrictions, employee consultation or approval requirements, regulatory restrictions and similar principles may limit the ability of a member of the Group to provide a guarantee or may require that the guarantee be limited by an amount or otherwise. If any such limit applies, the guarantees provided will be limited to the maximum amount which the relevant member of the Group may provide having regard to applicable law;

(b) a factor in determining whether or not a guarantee shall be taken is the applicable cost which shall not be disproportionate to the benefit to the Holders (or any other beneficiary of the guarantee) of obtaining such security. For these purposes “cost” includes, but is not limited to, income or corporate tax cost, registration taxes payable on the creation or enforcement or for the continuance of any security, notary costs, stamp duties, out-of-pocket expenses, and other fees and expenses directly incurred by the relevant grantor of security or any of its direct or indirect owners, subsidiaries or affiliates;

(c) unless each consent required by law, statute, the terms of any applicable contract, instrument or constitutional document or otherwise from the minority shareholders in, or any relevant corporate body of, any member of the Group which is not wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by another member of the Group is obtained, such Group member shall not be required to grant guarantees; provided that the relevant company and the Company have used reasonable efforts to obtain such consent;

(d) guarantees should not be granted to the extent that it would result in a risk to the directors or officers of the relevant grantor of such guarantee of contravention of any statutory duty in such capacity or their fiduciary duties and/or which could reasonably be expected to result in personal, civil or criminal liability on the part of any such director or officer;

(e) the maximum guaranteed amount may be limited to minimize stamp duty, notarization, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the benefit of increasing the guaranteed amount is disproportionate to the level of such fee, taxes and duties; and

(f) the giving of a guarantee will not be required if:

(i) it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant member of the Group to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Indenture; or

Schedule II - 1

(ii) it would have a material adverse effect on the tax arrangements of the Group or any member of the Group,

provided that, in each case, the relevant member of the Group shall use reasonable efforts to overcome such obstacle. The guaranteed obligations will be limited where necessary to prevent any material additional tax liability of any member of the Group.

2. GUARANTEES

2.1 Where a member of the Group requires prior consideration of or consultation with any corporate body and/or any body representing employees of such a member of the Group before granting guarantees, such guarantees shall not be granted until any procedure that must be followed under applicable law in respect of that consideration or consultation has been completed.

2.2 In the case of guarantees to be granted by a Guarantor incorporated in The Netherlands or France, if the relevant Guarantor has at least 50 employees, and in the case of any other jurisdictions requiring receipt of advice from a works council, such guarantees shall not be granted until neutral or positive advice is received from any relevant works council and such work council shall be allowed to assist to the relevant board meeting of such Guarantor.

2.3 Each guarantee will be an upstream, cross-stream and downstream guarantee and each guarantee will be for all liabilities of the relevant members of the Group under the Indenture in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of the Agreed Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction.

2.4 In the case of guarantees to be granted by a Guarantor incorporated in The Netherlands or France, or any other jurisdictions requiring receipt of advice from a works council, such guarantees shall not be granted until neutral or positive advice is received from any relevant works council.

2.5 No subsidiary of the Company that is a Controlled Foreign Corporation (as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) (or that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by any such Controlled Foreign Corporation) shall be required to give a guarantee These principles also apply with respect to any entity that becomes a United States Person and/or a Controlled Foreign Corporation following any guarantee.

3. JURISDICTIONS

3.1 The guarantees to be provided under and in connection with the Notes and the Indenture will only be granted by members of the Group organized under the laws of the following jurisdictions:

(i) England & Wales;

(ii) Germany;

(iii) Ireland;

(iv) Luxembourg;

(v) the Netherlands; and

(vi) The United States of America.

(2) not less than 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes) issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately thereafter.

(e) At any time and from time to time on or after May 15, 2024, the Issuers may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, upon notice as described under Article 3 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the percentage of principal amount of the Notes so redeemed set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date and Additional Amounts, if any, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below:

(f) Unless the Issuers defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(g) Notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be given prior to the completion of a transaction (including, but not limited to, an Equity Offering, an Incurrence of Indebtedness, a Change of Control or other transaction) and any redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction. If such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (but not more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

(h) If the Issuers effect an optional redemption of the Notes, it will, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and admitted for trading on the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, inform the Exchange of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption.

(i) Subject to compliance with the covenants contained herein, and provided that no Default is triggered thereby, the Issuers and their respective Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes. Any such purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as well as with such consideration as the Issuers or any such Affiliates may determine.

(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including a Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuers, or any third party making such a tender offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchases, all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60

A-1-7

days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such tender offer expiration date, to redeem the Notes that remain outstanding in whole, but not in part, following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee)in such tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, such redemption date.

(6) REDEMPTION FOR TAXATION REASONS.

(a) The Issuers may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Holders (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) and all Additional Amounts as set forth in Section 4.15 of the Indenture, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuers determines in good faith that, as a result of:

(1) any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined in the Indenture) affecting taxation which is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, where such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at a later date, after such later date); or

(2) any change in, or amendment to, the official application, administration or written interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice) which is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, where such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at a later date, after such later date) (each of the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”),

a Payor (as defined in Section 4.15(a) of the Indenture) is, or on the next interest payment date in respect of the Notes would be, required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes (but, in the case of a Guarantor, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the Issuers or a Guarantor who can make such payment without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Payor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent where this would be reasonable). The foregoing provisions shall apply (a) to a Guarantor only after such time as such Guarantor is obliged to make at least one payment on the Notes and (b) mutatis mutandis to any successor Person, after such successor Person becomes a party to the Indenture, with respect to a Change in Tax Law occurring after the time such successor Person becomes a party to the Indenture. Notice of redemption for taxation reasons will be published in accordance with the procedures described under Section 3.03 of the Indenture and paragraph 8 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (a) earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts and (b) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the relevant Payor taking reasonable measures available to it and (b) a written opinion of an independent tax counsel of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and satisfactory to the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without liability or further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(7) SINKING FUND. Except in the event of a Special Mandatory Redemption pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Indenture, the Issuers will not be required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under Sections 4.07 and 4.11 of the Indenture.

A-1-8

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

(a) At least 10 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the Issuers shall deliver electronically or mail, or at the expense of the Issuers, cause to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) or otherwise transmit, any notice of redemption in accordance with Section 13.01 of the Indenture and as provided in Section 3.03 of the Indenture to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed or otherwise transmitted more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or Article 12 of the Indenture. Notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear and Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.

(b) If and for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and if and to the extent the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuers will notify the Exchange of any such notice to the Holders of the Notes and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuers will notify the Exchange of any change in the principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

(c) Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of €1,000; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such redemption, the applicable Note shall have a denomination of no less than €100,000.

(d) No later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on each date of redemption or purchase, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee or with the Principal Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, accrued interest, the Applicable Premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, accrued interest, the Applicable Premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. If the Issuers comply with the provisions of this paragraph 8(d) and the provisions of Section 3.05(a) of the Indenture, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

(9) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER; SPECIAL MANDATORY REDEMPTION

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, unless (i) a third party makes a change of control offer as described herein or (ii) the Issuers have previously or substantially concurrently therewith delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under paragraph 5 of this Note, the Issuers will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes (equal to €100,000 in principal amount or in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the Notes of €100,000 or less in principal amount may only be redeemed in whole and not in part) pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to but excluding the date of repurchase. Within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will deliver or cause to be delivered a notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Notes for the specified purchase price on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice, except in the case of a conditional Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control as described below.

(b) The amount of any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested as provided in Section 4.07(a) of the Indenture within the applicable time period will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds” under the Indenture; provided that, if at the time of any definitive agreement, put option or similar arrangement in respect of any Asset Disposition or (at the option of the Company) the date on which Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition is received, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage

Within 10 Business Days after the expiration of the applicable time period, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds under the Indenture exceeds the greater of $135.0 million and 25.0% of LTM EBITDA, the Company will be required to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders issued under the Indenture and, to the extent the Company elects, to all holders of other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness, to repay, prepay or purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be repaid, prepaid or purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in respect of the Notes in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (and, in the case of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, an offer price of no more than 100% of the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repayment, prepayment or purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, and with respect to the Notes, in minimum denominations of €100,000 and in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof; provided that if such Excess Proceeds are required to be offered first to the holders of the Senior Secured Notes or the holders of any other Secured Indebtedness under the terms thereof, the Company shall only be required to make an Asset Disposition Offer following the closing of the offer period in relation to the ABL Facility, the Senior Secured Notes or such other Secured Indebtedness. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to all Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the applicable time period referred to above) or with respect to any unapplied Excess Proceeds.

(c) In the event that (a) the Transfer Completion Date does not take place on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the Escrow Longstop Date, (b) the Issuers notify the Trustee and the Escrow Agent that in their reasonable judgment the AMP Transfer will not be completed by the Business Day immediately following the Escrow Longstop Date, (c) the Initial Investors cease to beneficially own and control a majority of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Company or (d) a Default or Event of Default arises with respect to either Issuer under clause (5) of the paragraph 13(a) on or prior to the Escrow Longstop Date (the date of any such event being the “Special Termination Date”), the Issuers will redeem all of the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the aggregate issue price of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, from the Issue Date to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes, duties and governmental charges required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section clause of (4) of paragraph 13(a) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of paragraph 13(a) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, in each case, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) If an Event of Default described in clause (5) of paragraph 13(a) with respect to the Issuers occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

(e) Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

(f) Except as otherwise set forth in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

(h) If the Issuers effect an optional redemption of the Notes, it will, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and admitted for trading on the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, inform the Exchange of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption.

(i) Subject to compliance with the covenants contained herein, and provided that no Default is triggered thereby, the Issuers and their respective Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes. Any such purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as well as with such consideration as the Issuers or any such Affiliates may determine.

(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including a Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuers, or any third party making such a tender offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchases, all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60

A-2-7

days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such tender offer expiration date, to redeem the Notes that remain outstanding in whole, but not in part, following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee)in such tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, such redemption date.

(6) REDEMPTION FOR TAXATION REASONS.

(a) The Issuers may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Holders (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) and all Additional Amounts as set forth in Section 4.15 of the Indenture, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuers determines in good faith that, as a result of:

(1) any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined in the Indenture) affecting taxation which is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, where such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at a later date, after such later date); or

(2) any change in, or amendment to, the official application, administration or written interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice) which is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, where such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at a later date, after such later date) (each of the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”),

a Payor (as defined in Section 4.15(a) of the Indenture) is, or on the next interest payment date in respect of the Notes would be, required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes (but, in the case of a Guarantor, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the Issuers or a Guarantor who can make such payment without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Payor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent where this would be reasonable). The foregoing provisions shall apply (a) to a Guarantor only after such time as such Guarantor is obliged to make at least one payment on the Notes and (b) mutatis mutandis to any successor Person, after such successor Person becomes a party to the Indenture, with respect to a Change in Tax Law occurring after the time such successor Person becomes a party to the Indenture. Notice of redemption for taxation reasons will be published in accordance with the procedures described under Section 3.03 of the Indenture and paragraph 8 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (a) earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts and (b) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the relevant Payor taking reasonable measures available to it and (b) a written opinion of an independent tax counsel of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and satisfactory to the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without liability or further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(7) SINKING FUND. Except in the event of a Special Mandatory Redemption pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Indenture, the Issuers will not be required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under Sections 4.07 and 4.11 of the Indenture.

Notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to DTC for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.

(b) If and for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and if and to the extent the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuers will notify the Exchange of any such notice to the Holders of the Notes and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuers will notify the Exchange of any change in the principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

(c) Notes in denominations larger than $200,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such redemption, the applicable Note shall have a denomination of no less than $200,000.

(d) No later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each date of redemption or purchase, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee or with the Principal Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, accrued interest, the Applicable Premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, accrued interest, the Applicable Premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

(7) The Escrow Charge shall, at any time, cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the relevant Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Charge, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and the Indenture) for any reason other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under the Indenture or the release of any such security interest in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or the Escrow Charge or any such security interest created thereunder shall be declared invalid or unenforceable or the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall assert in writing that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and any such Default continues for 30 days;

(8) except as permitted under the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement (including with respect to any limitations), any Notes Guarantee of one or more Guarantors that together constitute a Significant Subsidiary (a “Significant Guarantor”) is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or is denied or disaffirmed by such Significant Guarantor or any Person acting on behalf of it; and

(9) failure by the Issuers to consummate a Special Mandatory Redemption on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date as required under Section 3.08 of the Indenture.

(b) However, a Default under clauses (4) or (6) of paragraph 13(a) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuers of the Default and, with respect to clauses (4) and (6) of paragraph 13(a), the Company does not cure such Default within 60 days after receipt of such notice.

(c) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (5) of paragraph 13(a)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee may, and the Trustee (subject to certain conditions) at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an

A-2-12

Event of Default described in Section clause of (4) of paragraph 13(a) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of paragraph 13(a) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, in each case, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) If an Event of Default described in clause (5) of paragraph 13(a) with respect to the Issuers occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

(e) Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

(f) Except as otherwise set forth in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

(14) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent.
