Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, a Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, a Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication

An authorized member of the Board of Directors, officer or authorized signatory of the Issuer shall sign the Notes by manual or facsimile signature.

If an authorized member of the Board of Directors, officer or authorized signatory whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office or appointment at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

A Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided for in Section 2.11.

Pursuant to the Issuer Order, the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent) shall authenticate (a) the Initial Notes on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $425,000,000 and (b) Additional Notes subject to compliance at the time of issuance of such Additional Notes with the provisions of this Indenture.

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents as “Authenticating Agent” reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by any such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent to deal with the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer. The Trustee hereby appoints Citibank, N.A., London Branch as the Authenticating Agent for the Notes. Citibank, N.A., London Branch hereby accepts such appointment and the Issuer hereby confirms that such appointment is acceptable to it.

The Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Section 2.02 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee or Authenticating Agent in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee or Authenticating Agent to personal liability to existing Holders.

Section 2.03 Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency for the registration of the Notes and of their transfer or exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be transferred or exchanged (the “Transfer Agent”), an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices or demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes may be served. Upon notice to the Trustee, the Issuer may appoint one or more Transfer Agents, one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents.

The Issuer and each of the Guarantors hereby appoint Citibank, N.A., London Branch as Paying Agent and Transfer Agent and Citibank Europe Plc as Registrar. Each such Agent accepts its appointment.

The Issuer or any of its Affiliates may act as Transfer Agent, Registrar, co-Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes.

Subject to any applicable laws and regulations, the Registrar shall keep a register in as current a form as reasonably practicable (the “Security Register”) of the ownership, exchange, and transfer of the Notes. Such registration in the Security Register shall be conclusive evidence of the ownership of Notes. Included in the books and records for the Notes shall be notations as to whether such Notes have been paid, exchanged or transferred, cancelled, lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed and whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so replaced and the Note issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so cancelled and the date on which such Note was cancelled.

If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, the Trustee may act as such or may appoint a Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money

No later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day prior to each due date of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes (or such shorter period as the Issuer and the Paying Agent may agree), the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to make cash payments due on such date. The Paying Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held for the payment of principal of, interest, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default under clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01(1), upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.

The Issuer shall no later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day prior to the day on which the Paying Agent is to receive payment, procure that the bank effecting payment for it confirms via fax or tested SWIFT MT100 message to the Paying Agent the payment instructions relating to such payment.

If the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each due date of any principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided for in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act. Upon any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer (including 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 shall serve as an agent of the Trustee.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent, the Trustee and any other Agent shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to the payment or disbursements to be made by the Paying Agent and the Trustee (i) for which payment instructions are not made or received 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.

A Holder of a Note at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Note subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in which case Defaulted Interest shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.12.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists

The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each Holder. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall, upon written request of the Trustee, furnish to the Trustee and each Paying Agent, in writing no later than the Record Date for each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee or a Paying Agent may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such Record Date as the Trustee or a Paying Agent may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, including the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by each registered Holder.

(ii) No service charge shall be made by the Issuer 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 Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.17, 3.07, 4.07, 4.09 and 9.04).

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

(iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Registered Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, 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.

(v) Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer into its register kept at its registered office of any Definitive Registered Notes: (A) for a period of 15 calendar days prior to any date fixed for the redemption of the Notes under Section 3.04; (B) for a period of 15 calendar days immediately prior to the date fixed for selection of Notes to be redeemed in part; (C) for a period of 15 calendar days prior to the Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date; or (D) which the Holder has tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Excess Proceeds Offer.

(vi) The Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered on the Security Register as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, interest, and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(vii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Issuer, the Trustee, the applicable Registrar or any Agent 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 promptly thereafter to the Trustee.

(viii) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Book-Entry Interest in any Global Note or any Definitive Registered Note other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as is expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to conformity with the express requirements hereof.

(ix) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes

If a mutilated Definitive Registered Note is surrendered to the Registrar or Trustee or if the Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall (or cause the Authenticating Agent to), upon receipt of the Issuer Order, authenticate a replacement Note in such form as the Note mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken if the Holder satisfies the requirements of the Trustee and the Issuer, including evidence satisfactory to them of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of such Note. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any Authenticating Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note shall be an additional obligation of the Issuer. If, after delivery of such replacement Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such original Note, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and the Issuer and/or the Trustee shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefore to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee or any Agent or the Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes

Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent except for: (i) those cancelled by the Paying Agent or the Registrar; (ii) those delivered to it for cancellation; (iii) to the extent set forth in Section 8.02 on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent and delivered by the Registrar hereunder; (iv) Notes in respect of which the Issuer and the Guarantors have been fully discharged for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any; (v) (for the purpose only of ascertaining the principal amount of the Notes outstanding and without prejudice to the status for any other purpose of the relevant Notes) Notes which are alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and in respect of which replacement Notes have been issued, and (vi) those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Registrar and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the Note which has been replaced is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered to be paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest thereon shall cease to accrue.

If one or more Paying Agents hold, in their capacity as such, on a Redemption Date or maturity date of the Notes money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and are not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.09 Notes Held by the Issuer

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer or by an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be disregarded and treated as if they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.10 [Reserved]

Section 2.11 Cancellation

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Paying Agent or the Registrar for cancellation. The Trustee, the Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Registrar any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Paying Agent or the Registrar, in accordance with its customary procedures, and no one else shall cancel (subject to the Trustee’s retention policy) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such cancelled Notes in its customary manner, unless the Issuer directs the Trustee in writing to return such Notes to the Issuer (unless the Notes are previously destroyed), and, if so disposed, upon request, shall deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Issuer. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest

Any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture (all such interest herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12:

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13 Computation of Interest

Interest on the Notes shall accrue from, and including, the original issuance date or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Section 2.14 ISIN, Common Code and CUSIP

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use ISIN, Common Code or CUSIP (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Issuer shall use ISIN, Common Code or CUSIP, as appropriate, in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers or codes either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any change in the ISIN, Common Code or CUSIP.

Section 2.15 Issuance of Additional Notes

Section 2.16 Agents

“Applicable Law” means any law or regulation including, but not limited to: (i) any statute or regulation; (ii) any rule or practice of any Authority by which any Party is bound or with which it is accustomed to comply; (iii) any agreement between any Authorities; and (iv) any customary agreement between any Authority and any Party.

“Party” means any party to this Indenture.

Section 2.17 Temporary Notes

Pending the preparation of Definitive Registered Notes, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Definitive Registered Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Temporary Notes may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Note shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the Definitive Registered Notes. Without unreasonable delay the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish Definitive Registered Notes and thereupon temporary Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes a like aggregate principal amount of Definitive Registered Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Registered Notes.

ARTICLE III

Section 3.01 Right of Redemption

The Issuer may redeem all or any portion of the Notes upon the terms and at the Redemption Prices set forth in the Notes. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

Section 3.02 Notices to Trustee

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing at least 5 Business Days before the date notice is to be given to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.04 (unless the Trustee and the Paying Agent consents to a shorter period).

Section 3.03 Selection of Notes to be Redeemed

In the event that any Global Note (or any portion thereof) is redeemed, DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as applicable, will redeem an equal amount of the Book-Entry Interests in such Global Note from the amount received by them in respect of the redemption of such Global Note. The Redemption Price payable in connection with the redemption of such Book-Entry Interests will be equal to the amount received by DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, as applicable, in connection with the redemption of such Global Note (or any portion thereof). If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream will credit their respective participants’ accounts in accordance with the relevant Applicable Procedures on a pro rata pass-through distribution of principal basis (with adjustments to prevent fractions) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange, clearing system or depositary requirements; provided, however, that no Book-Entry Interest of less than $200,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part. If the Notes are not held through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, 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; provided, however, that no Note of $200,000 in aggregate principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part and only Notes in integral multiples of $1,000 shall be redeemed. The Trustee, the Paying Agents and the Registrar shall not be liable for selections made in accordance with this Section 3.03.

No later than 10:00 a.m. London time on any Redemption Date (or such shorter period as the Issuer and Paying Agent may agree), the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a wholly owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, such Person shall segregate and hold in trust) a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have previously been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, return to the Issuer any money so deposited that is not required for that purpose.

Section 3.06 Payment of Notes Called for Redemption

Save to the extent that any redemption is conditional on any event or condition specified in the notice related thereto, once notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided below, the Notes or portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price stated therein, together with accrued interest to such Redemption Date, and on and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date.

(3) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (a) through (w) of Section 4.04(2), or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.04(1), the Company shall be permitted to classify such item of Debt on the date of its Incurrence in any manner that complies with this Section 4.04. Debt Incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility outstanding on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred on such date in reliance on Section 4.04(2)(a), and Debt Incurred pursuant to Section 4.04 (2)(a) may not be reclassified as Debt Incurred under Section 4.04(1). In addition, from time to time any item of Debt initially classified as Incurred pursuant to one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (a) through (w) of Section 4.04(2) (other than Debt Incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date), or entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.04(1), may later be reclassified by the Company such that it shall be deemed as having been Incurred pursuant to such new clause of Section 4.04(2) or Section 4.04(1) to the extent that such reclassified Debt could be Incurred pursuant to such new clause of Section 4.04(1) or Section 4.04(2) at the time of such reclassification. Debt permitted by this Section 4.04 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Debt but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.04 permitting such Debt.

(4) For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the Incurrence of Debt in U.S. dollars where Debt is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Debt shall be the Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of such determination; provided that if any such Debt denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement (with respect to U.S. dollars) covering principal amounts payable on such Debt, the amount of such Debt expressed in U.S. dollars shall be adjusted to take into account the effect of such agreement. The principal amount of any Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred in the same currency as the Debt being refinanced shall be the Dollar Equivalent of the Debt being refinanced determined on the date such Debt being refinanced was initially Incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.04, for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, increases in Debt solely due to fluctuations in the exchange rates

of currencies shall not be deemed to exceed the maximum amount that an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur under this Section 4.04.

(5) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Debt under this Section 4.04:

(a) obligations in the form of letters of credit, guarantees, Liens, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation, in each case supporting Debt otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included;

(b) any Liens granted pursuant to the equal and ratable provisions referred to in Section 4.05 shall not be treated as Debt;

(c) accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount or of accreted value, the obligation to pay commitment fees and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Debt, shall not, in any case, be treated as Debt; and

(d) notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary, in the case of any Debt incurred to refinance Debt initially incurred under Section 4.04 (2) measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA at the time of Incurrence, if such refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced, plus premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance, costs and fees in connection with such refinancing.

(6)

(i) For purposes of calculating any ratio-based basket under this Section 4.04, with respect to any revolving facility, delayed draw facility or other committed debt financing Incurred under such ratio-based basket, the Company may elect (which election may not be changed with respect to such Debt), at any time, to either (x) give pro forma effect to the Incurrence of the entire committed amount of such Debt, in which case such committed amount may thereafter be borrowed or reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with any ratio-based component of any provision of the Indenture, or (y) test the Incurrence of actual amounts drawn under such revolving Debt, delayed draw facility or other committed debt financing from time to time, in which case, the ability to Incur the commitments made available under such Debt will be subject to such ratio-based test or basket (to the extent being Incurred pursuant to such ratio) at the time of each such Incurrence.

(j) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of, any particular Debt Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.04, if any commitments in respect of revolving or deferred draw Debt are established in reliance on any clause of Section 4.04(2) measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, at the Company’s option (which election may not be changed with respect to such Debt), on the date of the initial borrowing of such Debt or entry into the definitive agreement providing the commitment to fund such Debt after giving pro forma effect to the Incurrence of the entire committed amount of such Debt (such committed amount, a “Grower Tested Committed Amount”) may thereafter be borrowed and reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, irrespective of whether or not such Incurrence would cause such percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to be exceeded and such Grower Tested Committed Amount shall be deemed outstanding pursuant to such basket so long as such commitments are in effect.

Section 4.05 Limitation on Liens

(1) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist any Lien on any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned on the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired, securing any Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (the “Initial Lien”), unless (i) such Lien is a Permitted Lien or (ii) contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure the Notes and this Indenture or, in respect of Liens on property or assets of any Guarantor, such Guarantee thereof, equally and ratably with (or, in the case of Subordinated Debt of the Issuer or a Guarantor, on a senior basis to) such Debt for so long as such Debt is so secured by such Initial Lien.

Section 4.07 Limitation on Asset Sales

(1) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

(a) the consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives for such Asset Sale is not less than the Fair Market Value of the assets sold (as determined in good faith by the Company or the Issuer, and the Company’s or Issuer’s determination (including the Board of Directors’ determination, as applicable) will be conclusive (as to the value of any and all non-cash consideration));

(b) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives in respect of such Asset Sale consists of:

(i) cash (including any Net Cash Proceeds received from the conversion to cash within 180 days of such Asset Sale of securities, notes or other obligations received in consideration of such Asset Sale);

(ii) Cash Equivalents (including any Net Cash Proceeds received from the conversion to cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of such Asset Sale of securities, notes or other obligations received in consideration of such Asset Sale);

Non-cash Consideration does not exceed (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) the greater of $15.0 million and 10.0% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA; or

(vi) a combination of the consideration specified in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 4.07(1)(b).

(2) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consummates an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds of the Asset Sale, within 365 days of the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale may be used by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to (or the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a binding commitment to so use; provided that such Net Cash Proceeds are so used within 180 days after the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period):

(a) (i) to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem any Pari Passu Debt incurred under Section 4.04(2)(a) (or any Permitted Refinancing Debt in respect thereof); provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Debt pursuant to this clause (a)(i), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Debt and will cause the related commitment (if any) (except in the case of any revolving Debt (including the Revolving Credit Facility)) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, purchased or redeemed; (ii) unless included in clause (a)(i), to (x) prepay, repay, purchase or redeem any Pari Passu Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that is secured in whole or in part by a Lien or (y) prepay, repay, purchase or redeem any Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than, in each case, Debt owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, at a price of, in each case, no more than 100% of the principal amount of such Pari Passu Debt plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment, repayment, purchase or redemption; (iii) unless included in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii), to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem any Pari Passu Debt of the Company, the Issuer or a Guarantor, at a price of no more than 100% of the principal amount of such Pari Passu Debt plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment, repayment, purchase or redemption; provided that the Company, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall prepay, redeem, repay or repurchase Pari Passu Debt pursuant to this clause (iii) only if the Company, the Issuer or such Guarantor purchases through open-market purchases or makes an offer to the Holders of the Notes to purchase their Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to at least 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) for, in each case, an aggregate principal amount of Notes at least equal to the proportion that (x) the total aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding bears to (y) the sum of the total aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding plus the total aggregate principal amount outstanding of such Pari Passu Debt;

(b) to purchase the Notes through open-market purchases, or to make an offer to the Holders to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to at least 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) and Additional Amounts, if any;

(c) invest in any Replacement Assets or make capital expenditures (including by means of capital expenditure by, or an investment in Replacement Assets by, a Restricted Subsidiary with an amount equal to some or all of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary);

(d) acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Similar Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Similar Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(e) acquire other assets (other than Capital Stock and cash or Cash Equivalents) that are used or useful in a Similar Business; or

(f) do any combination of the foregoing.

The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds actually received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary but not so used as set forth in this paragraph (2) constitutes “Excess Proceeds.” Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise use such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture.

(3) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer will, within 30 Business Days, make an offer to purchase (an “Excess Proceeds Offer”) from all Holders of Notes and, at the Issuer’s election, from the holders of any Pari Passu Debt, to the extent required by the terms thereof, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing any such Pari Passu Debt, the maximum principal amount, in the case of the Notes (expressed as a minimum amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased with the amount of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price as to each Note and any such Pari Passu Debt will be payable in cash in an amount equal to (solely in the case of the Notes) 100% of the principal amount of such Note being repurchased and (solely in the case of Pari Passu Debt) no greater than 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of such Pari Passu Debt being redeemed or repurchased, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use the amount of such Excess Proceeds not used to purchase Notes and Pari Passu Debt for any purposes that are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased will be allocated on a pro rata basis (based upon the principal amount of Notes and the principal amount or accreted value of such Pari Passu Debt tendered by each holder). Upon completion of each such Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

(4) If the Issuer is obliged to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will purchase the Notes and Pari Passu Debt, at the option of the holders thereof, in whole or in part in a minimum amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date the notice of the Excess Proceeds Offer is given to such Holders, or such later date as may be required under the Exchange Act.

If the Issuer is required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and regulations, including the requirements of any applicable securities exchange on which Notes are then listed. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations or exchange requirements conflict with Section 4.07, the Issuer will comply with such securities laws regulations and exchange requirements and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in Section 4.07 by virtue thereof.

(a) such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that, 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 have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction (as determined in good faith by the Company or the Issuer) with a Person that is not an Affiliate; and

(b) with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or the transfer of assets or the provision of services, in each case having a value in excess of the greater of $21.0 million and 15.0% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, the Board of Directors of the Company or the Issuer will approve a resolution resolving that such transaction complies with clause (a) above and that the fairness of such transaction has been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Members, if any, of such Board of Directors.

(e) the issuance of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or similar transfers pursuant to, or for the purpose of the funding of, directorship, employment or consulting arrangements, stock options, stock ownership plans and other similar arrangements, as long as the terms thereof are or have been previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Issuer;

(j) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary solely (x) because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns Capital Stock in such Person, (y) because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary has the right to designate one or more members of the Board of Directors or similar governing body of such Person, or (z) as a result of both such ownership of Capital Stock and such right to so designate;

(k) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice, which are fair to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary or are on terms materially no less favorable than those that could reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party (as determined in good faith by the Company or the Issuer);

(l) the execution of, delivery of and performance under any Tax Sharing Agreement; and

(m) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing.

Section 4.09 Change of Control

(1) If a Change of Control occurs at any time, the Issuer will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to purchase all or part of (equal to $200,000 aggregate principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”).

(2) Within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send notice of the Change of Control Offer, with a copy to the Trustee, Registrar and each Paying Agent, to each Holder of Notes appearing in the security register on such date, which notice will state:

(a) that a Change of Control has occurred and the date it occurred;

(b) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control;

(c) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the Change of Control Purchase Date, which will be a Business Day no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days after the date such notice is delivered, or such later date as is necessary to comply with any requirements under the Exchange Act or any other applicable securities laws or regulations;

(d) that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date unless the Change of Control Purchase Price is not paid on such date;

(e) that any Note or part thereof not tendered will continue to accrue interest; and

(f) any other procedures that a Holder of Notes must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw such acceptance.

(3) Upon receipt by the Trustee from the Issuer of an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer in the Change of Control, the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver a new Note or Notes in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of Notes surrendered, if any, to the Holder of Notes in global form or to each Holder of certificated Notes; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount that is at least $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. All certificated Notes will be issued in registered form. The Issuer will publicly announce (which announcement may be made by posting to the website of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company, in accordance with Section 4.14) the results of a Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date.

(4) The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (i) the Notes have been irrevocably and unconditionally called for redemption as described under “Optional Redemption” or (ii) a third party has made, and not terminated, a tender offer for all of the Notes in the manner and at the times applicable to a Change of Control Offer, at a tender offer purchase price in cash equal to at least 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and such third party purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such tender offer. No Note will be purchased in part if less than $200,000 in original principal amount of such Note would remain outstanding following such purchase.

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(7) The Issuer and the Guarantors will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer and the Guarantors will comply with such applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

(8) For so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and if and to the extent that the rules and regulations of the Exchange so require, the Issuer will publish a public announcement with respect to the results of any Change of Control Offer to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules. In addition, for so long as any Notes are represented by Global Notes, such notices to Holders of the Notes may be delivered by or on behalf of the Issuer to DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable.

(9) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes, including without limitation, a Change of Control Offer or Excess Proceeds Offer, if Holders of Notes 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 or exchange offer and the Issuer, or any third party making such a tender offer or exchange offer in lieu of the Issuer, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, all of the Holders of Notes will be deemed to have consented to such tender offer or exchange offer, and accordingly the Issuer or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to Holders of the Notes, given not more than 30 days following such tender offer or exchange offer expiration date, to redeem the Notes that remain outstanding in whole, but not in part, following such tender offer or exchange offer at a price equal to the price offered to each other Holder of Notes (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) in such tender offer or exchange offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment or exchange offer settlement, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, such redemption date. In determining whether the Holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes in a tender offer, exchange offer, Change of Control Offer or Excess Proceeds Offer, as applicable, Notes owned by an Affiliate of the Issuer or by funds controlled or managed by any Affiliate of the Issuer, or any successor thereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of such tender offer, exchange offer, Change of Control Offer or Excess Proceeds Offer, as applicable.

Section 4.10 Limitation on Guarantees of Debt

(1) The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor or the Issuer, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable for the payment of any Debt of the Company or the Issuer outstanding under any Credit Facility Incurred under Section 4.04(2)(a) or any other Public Debt of the Company (other than a Guarantee of the Notes) or the Issuer (other than the Notes) or any Guarantor (other than a Guarantee of the Notes), unless such Restricted Subsidiary either (i) is not a Significant Subsidiary and, in respect of any Debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility (as may be refinanced, amended or restated from time to time) only, has not become a Guarantor under the Revolving Credit Facility, provided that any such Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Significant Subsidiary also would not, in the aggregate when taken together with other Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Significant Subsidiaries, constitute a Significant Subsidiary if considered as a single person or (ii) executes and delivers within 30 days a supplemental indenture to this Indenture in the form of Exhibit D providing for a Guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary on the same terms as the guarantee of such other Debt; and with respect to any guarantee of Subordinated Debt by such Restricted Subsidiary, any such guarantee shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee with respect to the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Debt is subordinated to the Notes. Any Guarantee of payment of the Notes may contain limitations on Guarantor liability to the extent reasonably necessary (as determined in good faith by the Company or the Issuer) to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors or other considerations under applicable law or regulation.

(2) Section 4.10(1) shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary:

(a) existing on the Issue Date; or

(b) that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary if the guarantee was not Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

(3) Any Guarantee of the Notes granted pursuant to the provisions described in Section 4.10(1) may provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged on the terms and conditions and in the circumstances described in Section 10.12. A Guarantee of a future Guarantor may also be released at the option of the Issuer or the Company if at the date of such release there is no Debt of such Guarantor outstanding which was Incurred after the Issue Date and which could not have been Incurred in compliance with this Indenture as at the date of such release if such Guarantor were not designated as a Guarantor as at that date. At the cost and reasonable request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall take all necessary actions to effectuate any release of any Guarantee of the Notes in accordance with these provisions, subject to customary protections and indemnifications.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be obligated to cause such Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes to the extent such Guarantee would reasonably be expected (as determined in good faith by the Company or the Issuer) to give rise to or result in (a) any conflict with or violation of applicable law, rule, regulation or order; (b) any risk of liability (civil, criminal, administrative or other) for the officers, directors, shareholders or partners of such Restricted Subsidiary; or (c) any cost, expense, liability or obligation (including with respect to any Taxes but excluding any reasonable guarantee or similar fee payable to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary) other than reasonable expenses, including intra-group remuneration for such guarantee assessed at arm’s length principle or Taxes due to lack of such remuneration, and other than reasonable governmental expenses incurred in connection with any governmental or regulatory filings required as a result of, or any measures pursuant to Section 4.10(1) undertaken in connection with, such Guarantee.

Section 4.11 Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

provided that (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock and (ii) the subordination of (including the application of any standstill requirements to) loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Debt Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, shall not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction.

Section 4.14 Reports to Holders

Section 4.15 Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates to $40.0 million or more;

A Default under clauses (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 6.01(1) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes under this Indenture notify the Issuer of the Default in writing and, with respect to clauses (d) and (f) of this Section 6.01(1), not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (d) or (f) of this Section 6.01(1), as applicable, after receipt of such notice.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(1)(d) 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(1)(d) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Debt, or the Debt that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and written notice from the Issuer is given to a responsible officer of the Trustee in accordance with the notice provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee will deliver to each Holder of the Notes notice of the Event of Default within 60 Business Days after its occurrence. Except in the case of an Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts or interest on any Notes, the Trustee may withhold the giving of such notice to the Holders of such Notes if it determines in good faith that withholding the giving of such notice is in the best interests of the Holders of the Notes.

(1) if a Default occurs for a failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (an “Initial Default”) then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or deliver a required certificate in connection with the Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and (2) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.14 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 notice or certificate, as applicable, prior to acceleration, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.

Section 6.02 Acceleration

(a) (i) the Issuer or a Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies

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.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past or existing Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default:

in each case which may be waived by the Holders of not less than 90% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Upon any such waiver pursuant to this Section 6.04, 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may 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 under this Indenture; provided, that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits

Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, 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 of the Notes unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security and/or prefunding satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense.

A Holder may not institute any proceedings with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or pursue any remedy hereunder unless:

The limitations in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.06, however, do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. The Trustee has no obligation to ascertain whether a Holder’s actions are unduly prejudicial to other Holders.

Section 6.07 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, 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% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in accordance with Section 9.02(b) hereof.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee

the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any), Additional Amounts, if any, and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and Additional Amounts, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the amounts provided for in Section 7.06 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.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

The Trustee may 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Guarantor, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders at their direction in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents, the Agents and their counsel, and any other amounts due under Section 7.06.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Application of Money Collected

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

The Issuer shall provide the Trustee with any additional information in their possession necessary for the Trustee to make the payments mentioned above, upon request.

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

A court may in its discretion require, 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 Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such 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 Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or to any suit by any Holder pursuant to Section 6.07.

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, then and in each case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, 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, 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 of 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 VI 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.

Section 6.15 Record Date

The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or to consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by Section 6.04 and Section 6.05.

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee

Section 7.02 Certain Rights of the Trustee

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee

The Trustee, any Agent or any other agent of the Issuer or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Agent or such other agent.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer

The statements or recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee does not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, of the Notes or of any Guarantee, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the Notes or the proceeds thereof.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will deliver to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after it occurs. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium and interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes.

Section 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity

The Issuer, failing which (subject to Article X) the Guarantors, jointly and severally shall pay to the Trustee and the Agents such compensation as shall be agreed in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s and the Agents’ compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer, failing which, the Guarantors, jointly and severally shall reimburse the Trustee and the Agents promptly upon request for all disbursements, advances and expenses properly incurred or made by it, including costs of collection,

in addition to the compensation for its services. Upon request and delivery of reasonably detailed supporting documentation, such expenses shall include the properly incurred compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Agents’ agents and counsel. The fees, commissions and expenses payable to the Trustee for services rendered and the performance of its obligations under this Indenture shall not be abated by any remuneration or other amounts or profits receivable by any Agent (or to its knowledge by any of its associates) in connection with any transaction effected by any Agent with or for the Issuer, unless separately agreed in writing with the Issuer. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Trustee considering it expedient or necessary or being requested by the Issuer to undertake duties which the Trustee reasonably determines to be of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee such additional properly incurred remuneration for such duties. These expenses shall include any costs or charges incurred by the relevant Agent in carrying out instructions to clear and/or settle transfers of securities under this Agreement (including cash penalty charges that may be incurred under Article 7 of the Central Securities Depositaries Regulation (EU) No 909/2014 if a settlement fail occurs due to the Issuer’s failure to deliver any required securities or cash or other action or omission).

The Issuer, failing which (subject to Article X) the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and the Agents and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, damage, cost, claim, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and any value added tax with respect thereto) properly incurred by it without willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud on its part arising out of or in connection with the administration of this Indenture and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim, whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person). The indemnity further includes the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer including this Section 7.06. The Trustee and the Agents shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Agents to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Guarantors of its obligations hereunder. Except in cases where the interests of the Issuer and the Trustee may be adverse, the Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in such defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the properly incurred fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer and the Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.

To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, any Guarantor, or any Restricted Subsidiary, such 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.

The Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations and the Trustee’s lien under this Section 7.06 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations pursuant to Article VIII, and the termination of this Indenture. The indemnity contained in this Section 7.06 shall survive the discharge or termination of this Indenture and shall continue for the benefit of the Trustee or any Agent notwithstanding its resignation or retirement.

Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders holding a majority in outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer shall be entitled to remove the Trustee if:

If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.07 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders, which shall include the name and address of the principal corporate trust office of the successor Trustee. The retiring Trustee shall 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 7.06 hereof.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 after a written request from any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation 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. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.09 Eligibility

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is an entity organized and doing business under the laws of England and Wales, any member state of the European Union or the United States of America or any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power and that is generally recognized as an entity that 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. No obligor under the Notes or Person directly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee.

ARTICLE VIII
DEFEASANCE; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 8.01 Issuer’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

The Issuer may, at its option by a resolution of its Board of Directors, at any time, with respect to the Notes of a series, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes of a series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Notes on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “legal defeasance”). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Notes of a series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes of such series and this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.08 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the provisions set forth at Section 8.06 and (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in connection therewith. Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 with respect to the Notes. If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(1)(a) or Section 6.01(1)(b)).

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer shall be released from its obligations under any covenant contained in Article IV (other than Section 4.01 and Section 4.02) and Section 5.01 with respect to the Notes of a series on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall 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 shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Defeasance

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

If the funds deposited with the Trustee or such other entity to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts and interest on the Notes of the applicable series when due because of any acceleration occurring after an Event of Default, then the Issuer and the Guarantors shall remain liable for such payments.

Section 8.05 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder (except as provided in Section 8.06) when:

(i) all of the Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for which payment money has been deposited on trust (or as agent) or segregated and held on trust (or as agent) by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust as provided for in this Indenture) have been delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation; or

(ii) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation: (x) have become due and payable (by reason of the sending, or delivery to the clearing systems in the case of a Global Note, of a notice of redemption or otherwise); (y) will become due and payable within one year of Stated Maturity; or (z) are to be called for redemption within one year of the proposed discharge date under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name of the Issuer and at the expense of the Issuer;

The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel without independent verification, provided that any such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d)(i) of this Section 8.05).

Section 8.06 Survival of Certain Obligations

Notwithstanding Section 8.01 and Section 8.03, any obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in Article II (except for Section 2.01 and Section 2.12), Section 6.07, Section 7.06, Section 7.07, Section 8.07, Section 8.08 and Section 8.09 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, any obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in Section 7.06, Section 8.07 and Section 8.08 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 8.07 Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee

Subject to Section 8.09, after the conditions of Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 have been satisfied, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of all of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article VIII.

Section 8.08 Application of Trust Money

Subject to Section 8.09, the Trustee (or such other entity as may be designated for this purpose) shall hold in trust all cash deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII, as applicable, in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof. It shall apply such deposited cash through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 8.09 Repayment to Issuer

Subject to Section 7.06, and Section 8.01 through Section 8.04, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request set forth in an Officer’s Certificate any excess money held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or Paying Agent before being required to make any payment may cause to be published through the newswire service of Bloomberg or any similar agency or mail to each Holder entitled to such money at such Holder’s address (as set forth in the Security Register) notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing) any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

Section 8.10 Reinstatement

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities or a combination thereof in accordance with this Article VIII 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, then the Issuer’s and each of the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or any such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities or a combination thereof in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on any Notes following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities or a combination thereof held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may modify, amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, without the consent of any Holder to:

The Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely absolutely on an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as to the permissibility of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders

with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes), unless a modification or amendment will only affect one series of the Notes, in which case only the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in such series shall be required.

Section 9.03 Supplemental Indentures

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Note theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not impose any personal obligations on the Trustee or adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes

If an amendment, modification or supplement changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer or Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note and on any Note subsequently authenticated regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, modification or supplement.

Section 9.05 Notice of Amendment or Waiver

Promptly after the effectiveness of any amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Holders of each outstanding Note affected, in the manner provided for in Section 12.01, setting forth in general terms the substance of such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver.

Section 9.06 Process for Consents

Upon the request of the Issuer and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or other waiver or amendment unless such amended or supplemental indenture imposes any personal obligations on the Trustee or directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or other waiver or amendment.

ARTICLE X
GUARANTEE

Section 10.01 Guarantee

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees, on a joint and several basis, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns on behalf of each Holder, the full payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes (including obligations to the Trustee) with respect to each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent pursuant to and in accordance with this Indenture, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantors and that the Guarantors will remain bound under this Section 10.01 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. All payments under such Guarantees will be made in U.S. dollars.

(b) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, unaffected by, and irrespective of, any validity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any Note or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto by the Holders or the Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor (except payment in full); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification, indulgence or circumstance shall without the written consent of each of the Guarantors increase the principal amount of a Note or the interest rate thereon or change the currency of payment with respect to any Note, or alter any Stated Maturity in respect thereof. Nothing in this Indenture prevents the assertion of any claim, set-off or other rights, whether by separate suit, compulsory counterclaim or otherwise, which any Guarantor may have at any time against the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this Indenture or any unrelated transactions. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require that the Trustee pursue or exhaust its legal or equitable remedies against the Issuer prior to exercising its rights under the Guarantee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any right which the Guarantors may have to require the seizure and sale of the assets of the Issuer to satisfy the outstanding principal of, interest on or any other amount payable under each Note prior to recourse against the Guarantors or its assets), protest or notice with respect to any Note or the Debt evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged with respect to any Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon or as otherwise provided in this Indenture, including Section 10.03. If at any time any payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on such Note is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as of the date of such rescission, restoration or returns as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such times.

(c) The Guarantors also agree to pay any and all costs and expenses (including properly incurred attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Section 10.02 Subrogation

The Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by a Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of their respective Guarantees.

Each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall 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. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Section 10.02.

Section 10.03 General Limitation of Guarantee

Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, each party to this Indenture, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that is the intention of all such Persons that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor by law to or without resulting in its obligations under its Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, being voidable or unenforceable under applicable laws relating to maintenance of share capital, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, corporate benefit or similar laws affecting the rights of the creditors generally and applicable to the Guarantors and their respective shareholders, directors and officers. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to contribution from any other Guarantor.

Section 10.04 Limitation of Guarantee – DIFC

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the guarantees, obligations, liabilities and undertakings granted by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the DIFC may be reduced, discharged or extinguished including as a result of the invalidity of, or inability to enforce, the primary obligation for any reason, the alteration of the primary obligation or any failure to take (or the release of or any alteration to) guarantees, security or other credit support given by the principal debtor or any other person (including other guarantors), as further described in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Service of Process and Enforceability of Judgments—DIFC— Enforcement of Guarantees”.

Section 10.05 Limitation of Guarantee – Germany

(a) This Section 10.05 shall apply to the extent a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Germany as a limited liability company (“GmbH”) (a “German Guarantor”) guarantees the indebtedness of its direct or indirect shareholder(s) or of a Subsidiary of such shareholder.

“Guarantee” in the context of this Section 10.05 means, a guarantee granted pursuant to this Indenture by a German Guarantor.

“Liquidity Impairment” means, in relation to a German Guarantor, that German Guarantor being deprived of the liquidity necessary to fulfil its liabilities towards its creditors and thereby violating Section 15b (5) of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (“InsO”).

“Subsidiary” in the context of this Section 10.05 means a person in which another person holds the majority of shares.

(b) The restrictions set out in paragraph (ii) below shall not apply to the extent:

(i) the German Guarantor secures any indebtedness under this Indenture and the Notes in respect of any proceeds raised under the Notes to the extent they are passed on (directly or indirectly) to the relevant German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount passed on is not repaid; or

(ii) a profit transfer and/or domination agreement (Gewinnabführungs- und/oder Beherrschungsvertrag) according to Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (“DPLA”) (either directly or via a chain of profit transfer and/or domination agreements) exists (besteht) between the German Guarantor and:

in each case to the extent that German Guarantor has a fully valuable recourse claim (vollwertiger Verlustausgleichsanspruch) against the dominating company, unless a decision of the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) explicitly confirmed with reasons (and not, for example, as an obiter dictum) in a third-party case that the mere existence of such DPLA leads to the inapplicability of § 30 (1) sentence 1 GmbHG; or

(iii) the payment under the Guarantee is covered (gedeckt) by means of a fully valuable and recoverable consideration or recourse claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) of the German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries against the affiliate or shareholder whose obligations are guaranteed; and

(iv) paragraph (iii) above shall not apply if the relevant German Guarantor provides a final judgement (rechtskräftiges Urteil) of a Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht) or a judgment of the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) setting out that:

(c) The Parties agree that if payment under the Guarantee would cause the amount of a German Guarantor’s net assets, as calculated pursuant to paragraph (d)(i) below, to fall below the amount of its registered share capital (Stammkapital) (or increase an existing shortage of its registered share capital) in violation of Section 30 GmbHG (such event is hereinafter referred to as a “Capital Impairment”), then the Trustee and the Holders shall demand payment under the Guarantee from such German Guarantor only to the extent such Capital Impairment would not occur.

(d)

(i) The calculation of net assets (the “Net Assets”) shall be determined in accordance with the principle of orderly bookkeeping (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) applying the same accounting principles (Bilanzierungsgrundsätze) which have been consistently applied by the relevant German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss) (Section 42 GmbHG, Sections 242, 264 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch)) in the previous years, save that the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:
