The First Priority Securities may have notations, legends, or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, or usage or the terms hereof. The Company shall approve the form of the First Priority Securities and any notation, legend, or endorsement thereon. Each First Priority Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(b) The terms and provisions contained in the form of First Priority Securities and the First Priority Guarantees shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Priority Indenture, and the Company, the First Priority Guarantors, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First Priority Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

(c) First Priority Securities initially distributed to or for the account of beneficial holders who indicate that they wish to hold their beneficial ownership through domestic institutions that are Agent Members shall be issued in the form of one or more Global First Priority Securities (collectively, the “Domestic Global First Priority Security”) in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Exhibit A hereto, except as otherwise permitted herein. The Domestic First Priority Security shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and deposited with the First Priority Indenture Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the First Priority Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Domestic First Priority Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, in connection with a corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal amount of the International First

Priority Security, or in connection with an exchange regarding a Certificated First Priority Security, as hereinafter provided.

(d) First Priority Securities initially distributed to or for the account of beneficial holders who indicate that they wish to hold their beneficial ownership through the international facilities described in this paragraph (d) shall be initially issued in the form of one or more Global First Priority Securities in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Exhibit A hereto, except as otherwise permitted herein. Such Global First Priority Securities shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and deposited with the First Priority Indenture Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the First Priority Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided, for credit to the respective accounts at the Depositary of the depositories for Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), or for Clearstream. Such Global First Priority Securities shall be referred to herein, collectively, as the “International Global First Priority Security”. The aggregate principal amount of the International First Priority Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, in connection with a corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Domestic First Priority Security, or in connection with an exchange regarding a Certificated First Priority Security, as hereinafter provided.

(e) First Priority Securities initially distributed to investors other than those described in Section 2.1(c) and (d) shall be issued in the form of one or more Certificated First Priority Securities in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Exhibit A hereto, except as otherwise permitted herein. The Certificated First Priority Securities shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Initial First Priority Holders shall request in writing, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the First Priority Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided.

(f) All First Priority Securities must be initially issued pursuant to Section 2.1(c), (d), or (e).

SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication.

(a) Two Officers shall sign, or one Officer shall sign and one Officer shall attest to, each First Priority Security on behalf of the Company by manual signature, provided, however, that in the event a First Priority Security is signed by facsimile signature, such facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and authentic and shall be deemed an original signature for all purposes, and the Company expressly waives any right to contest the validity, authenticity, or originality of any such signature on the basis that such signature is a facsimile.

(b) If an Officer whose signature is on a First Priority Security was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time that the First Priority Indenture Trustee authenticates the First Priority Security, the First Priority Security shall be

valid nevertheless, and the Company shall nevertheless be bound by the terms of the First Priority Security and this First Priority Indenture.

(c) A First Priority Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the First Priority Indenture Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the First Priority Security (the “Certificate of Authentication”). Such signature on a Certificate of Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that the First Priority Security has been authenticated pursuant to the terms of this First Priority Indenture.

(d) The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate or cause to be authenticated the First Priority Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of up to U.S.$ 238,236,500, upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of First Priority Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the First Priority Securities are to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of First Priority Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed U.S.$ 238,236,500, except if (x) such amount is exceeded because a First Priority Security is replaced in accordance with Section 2.7 and (y) thereafter the replaced First Priority Security is proven to be held by a bona fide purchaser under Section 2.8, in which case such amount may be exceeded by the principal amount of the replaced First Priority Security.

(e) The First Priority Indenture Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate First Priority Securities (each an “Authenticating Agent”). Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate First Priority Securities whenever the First Priority Indenture Trustee may do so. Each reference in this First Priority Indenture to authentication by the First Priority Indenture Trustee includes authentication by an Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company, any Affiliate of the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(f) First Priority Securities shall be issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of U.S.$1.00 and integral multiples of U.S.$1.00 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Company shall appoint and maintain (i) an office or agency in The City of New York, where First Priority Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency in The City of New York, where First Priority Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, and the other First Priority Documents may be served, and the Company hereby agrees that service of such notices and demands at such office is sufficient for all purposes. The Registrar shall keep a register of the First Priority Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents (each such co-Registrar and additional Paying Agent having an office in The City of New York) and may designate a Paying Agent as Principal Paying Agent (the “Principal Paying Agent”) under this First Priority Indenture and the First Priority Securities. The term “Registrar” includes any co-Registrar and the terms “Paying Agent” and “Principal Paying Agent” include any additional Paying Agent or Principal Paying Agent, as applicable. The Company may at any time change any Paying Agent or Registrar upon advance written notice to the First Priority Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act as a Paying Agent, Principal Paying Agent, Registrar, or co-Registrar. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall be automatically authorized to act as such for all purposes hereunder and under the other First Priority Documents.

(b) The Company initially appoints the First Priority Indenture Trustee as Registrar, as Securities Custodian with respect to the Global First Priority Securities, and as Principal Paying Agent, and such appointments shall remain effective until successors are appointed in accordance herewith. The Company initially appoints DTC as Depositary with respect to the Global First Priority Securities, and such appointment shall remain effective until a successor is appointed in accordance herewith.

(c) The Company shall enter into an appropriate written agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this First Priority Indenture, which agreement shall implement the provisions of this First Priority Indenture that relate to such Agent, and shall furnish a copy of each such agreement to the First Priority Indenture Trustee. The Company shall promptly notify the First Priority Indenture Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent.

(d) The First Priority Indenture Trustee is authorized to enter into a letter of representation with DTC in the form provided to the First Priority Indenture Trustee by the Company and to act in accordance with such letter.

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Property in Trust.

(a) By 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), no later than one (1) Business Day prior to each payment date on any First Priority Security, the Company will deposit with the Principal Paying Agent in immediately available funds a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due (including any Additional Amounts payable under Section 4.2).

The Company shall promptly notify the First Priority Indenture Trustee of any failure to make any payment in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. The Company will request that the bank through which such payment is to be made agree to supply to the Principal Paying Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the due date for any such payment an irrevocable confirmation (by tested telex or authenticated SWIFT MT 100 Message) of its intention to make such payment. The Principal Paying Agent shall arrange with all Paying Agents for the payment, from funds furnished by the Company pursuant to this First Priority Indenture, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on the First Priority Securities and of the compensation of such Paying Agents for their services as such. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the First Priority Indenture Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of First Priority Holders or the First Priority Indenture Trustee all money or other Property held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on, the First Priority Securities (whether such money or other Property has been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on the First Priority Securities). The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all money and other Property held by it to the First Priority Indenture Trustee and account for any money or Property disbursed, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default or any Event of Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all money and Property held by it to the First Priority Indenture Trustee and to account for any money or Property distributed. Upon distribution to the First Priority Indenture Trustee of all money and Property that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agents, the Paying Agents (if other than the Company) shall have no further liability for such money or Property.

(b) Payment by the Company of any amount payable under the First Priority Securities to the Principal Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Securities and this First Priority Indenture will satisfy the obligation of the Company to make such payment.

SECTION 2.5. First Priority Holder Lists and Communications with First Priority Holders.

(a) In the event that the First Priority Indenture Trustee is not acting as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the First Priority Indenture Trustee: (i) not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date, a list, in such form as the First Priority Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, containing all information in the possession or control of the Company or any Paying Agent (other than the First Priority Indenture Trustee) as to the names and addresses of the First Priority Holders as of the Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, and (ii) at such other times as the First Priority Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the time such list is furnished; excluding from any such list names and addresses received by the First Priority Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Registrar. The First Priority Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely upon the information contained in any list provided by the Company under this paragraph.

(b) The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, (i) the names and addresses of First Priority Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the First Priority Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 2.5(a) and (ii) the names and addresses of First Priority Holders received by the First Priority Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, if so acting. The First Priority Indenture Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 2.5(a) upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) General Obligations of Company and First Priority Indenture Trustee. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any First Priority Security at an office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose or of the Registrar, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.6, the Company shall execute, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new First Priority Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

(b) Exchange Generally. At the option of a First Priority Holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.6, the First Priority Holder’s First Priority Securities may be exchanged for other First Priority Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the First Priority Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any First Priority Securities are so surrendered for exchange, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.6, the Company shall execute, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall, upon written order of the Company, in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, authenticate and deliver, the First Priority Securities that the First Priority Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(c) Valid Obligations. All First Priority Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of First Priority Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.6, entitled to the same benefits under this First Priority Indenture, as the First Priority Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(d) Instrument of Transfer. Every First Priority Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the First Priority Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed, by the First Priority Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(e) No Service Charge. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of First Priority Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of First Priority Securities.

(f) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated First Priority Securities. The provisions of Section 2.6(f)(l) and (2) below shall apply to transfers and exchanges of Certificated First Priority Securities.

(1) Transfer or Exchange of a Certificated First Priority Security for Another Certificated First Priority Security. If any Certificated First Priority Securities are presented by a First Priority Holder to the Registrar with a request:

(A) to register the transfer of such Certificated First Priority Securities to another Person; or

(B) to exchange such Certificated First Priority Securities for an equal principal amount of Certificated First Priority Securities of other authorized denominations to be held by such Holder,

then the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that, in the case of a transfer to another Person, such Certificated First Priority Securities shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by such First Priority Holder or the First Priority Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

(2) Transfer and Exchange of a Certificated First Priority Security for a Beneficial Interest in Global First Priority Security. Upon receipt by the First Priority Indenture Trustee of a Certificated First Priority Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, together with:

(i) certification to the effect that such Certificated First Priority Security is being transferred to a beneficial owner who will hold such beneficial ownership through an Agent Member; and

(ii) written indication from the beneficial owner that it wishes (A) to hold all of such beneficial ownership as an interest in the Domestic Global First Priority Security through domestic institutions that are Agent Members, or (B) to hold all of such beneficial ownership as an interest in the International Global First Priority Security through the international facilities described in Section 2.1 (d), or (C) to hold a specified portion of such beneficial ownership as an interest in the Domestic Global First Priority Security through domestic institutions who are Agent Members and to hold the balance of such beneficial ownership as an interest in the International Global First Priority Security through the international facilities described in Section 2.1 (d); and

(iii) written instructions from the First Priority Holder thereof directing the First Priority Indenture Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an endorsement on the applicable Global First Priority Security or Global First Priority Securities to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the First Priority Securities represented by such Global First Priority Security or Global First Priority Securities,

then the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall cancel such Certificated First Priority Security and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate

principal amount of First Priority Securities represented by such Global First Priority Security or Global First Priority Securities to be increased accordingly. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall deliver copies of each certification and instruction received by it pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above to the Depositary and, upon receipt thereof, the Depositary shall make appropriate adjustments to its books and records to reflect exchange of such Certificated First Priority Security for an interest in such Global First Priority Security or Global First Priority Securities in accordance with this Section 2.6.

Transfers and exchanges subject to this Section 2.6 shall also be subject to the other provisions of this First Priority Indenture that are not inconsistent with this Section 2.6.

(1) Transfer of Interest in Domestic Global First Priority Security for Interest in International Global First Priority Security. If the First Priority Holder of a beneficial interest in the Domestic Global First Priority Security wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the International Global First Priority Security, such transfer may be effected, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream, in each case to the extent applicable (the “Applicable Procedures”), only in accordance with this Section 2.6(g)(1). Upon receipt by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the First Priority Indenture Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the International Global First Priority Security in a principal amount equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Domestic Global First Priority Security to be so transferred, (B) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member (and the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest and (C) a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto given by the First Priority Holder of such beneficial interest, the principal amount of the Domestic Global First Priority Security shall be reduced, and the principal amount of the International Global First Priority Security shall be increased, by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Domestic Global First Priority Security to be so transferred, in each case by means of an appropriate adjustment on the records of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as Registrar, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as Registrar, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (which shall be the Agent Member for Euroclear or Clearstream or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the International Global First Priority Security having a principal amount equal to the amount so transferred.

(2) Transfer of Interest in International Global First Priority Security for Interest in Domestic Global First Priority Security. If the First Priority Holder of a beneficial interest in the International Global First Priority Security wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Domestic Global First Priority Security, such transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with this Section 2.6(g)(2). Upon receipt by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the First Priority Indenture Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Domestic Global First Priority Security in a principal amount equal to that of the beneficial interest in the International Global First Priority Security to be so transferred and (B) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member (and, if applicable, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be debited for, such beneficial interest and (C) in each case the principal amount of the Domestic Global First Priority Security shall be reduced, and the principal amount of the International Global First Priority Security shall be increased, by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Domestic Global First Priority Security to be so transferred, in each case by means of an appropriate adjustment on the records of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as Registrar, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as Registrar, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the International Global First Priority Security having a principal amount equal to the amount so transferred.

(3) Exchanges of Interests in Global First Priority Security for Certificated First Priority Securities. Interests in a Global First Priority Security may be exchanged for Certificated First Priority Securities substantially in the same manner as under Section 2.6(h)(3) only in accordance with such procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of Section 2.6(g)(1) and (2) above and (4) below, as may be from time to time adopted by the Company and the First Priority Indenture Trustee, and any Applicable Procedures. In the event that an interest in a Global First Priority Security or any portion thereof is exchanged for Certificated First Priority Securities, such Certificated First Priority Securities may in turn be exchanged (on transfer or otherwise) for Certificated First Priority Securities or for beneficial interests in a Global First Priority Security (if any is then outstanding) only in accordance with such procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of Section 2.6(g)(1) and (2) above and (4) below, as may be from time to time adopted by the Company and the First Priority Indenture Trustee, and any Applicable Procedures.

(4) Interests in International Global First Priority Security to be Held Through Euroclear or Clearstream. Interests in the International Global First Priority Security may be held only through Agent Members acting for and on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, provided, however, that this Section 2.6(g)(4) shall not prohibit any transfer

in accordance with Section 2.6(g)(2) hereof or any exchange in accordance with Section 2.6(g)(3) hereof.

(h) Other Provisions Relating to Global First Priority Securities. The provisions of Section 2.6(g)(1), (2), (3), and (4) below shall apply only to Global First Priority Securities:

(1) General. Each Global First Priority Security authenticated under this First Priority Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to the Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global First Priority Security shall constitute a single First Priority Security for all purposes of this First Priority Indenture. A Global First Priority Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided, however, that this clause (1) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Global First Priority Security for a Certificated First Priority Security in accordance with Section 2.6(g)(4) and (2) shall not prohibit any transfer of a First Priority Security that is issued in exchange for a Global First Priority Security but is not itself a Global First Priority Security. No transfer of a First Priority Security to any Person shall be effective under this First Priority Indenture or the First Priority Securities unless and until such First Priority Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this Section 2.6(h)(1) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global First Priority Security that is not prohibited by the other provisions of this Section 2.6.

(2) Transfer to Persons other than Depository in Certain Special Circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provision in this First Priority Indenture or the First Priority Securities, no Global First Priority Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for First Priority Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global First Priority Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof; provided, however, that Certificated First Priority Securities shall be issued in exchange for a Global First Priority Security in accordance with Section 2.6(g)(3) under the following circumstances: (A) the Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global First Priority Security or (ii) has ceased to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Company has not appointed a replacement Depositary in accordance with this First Priority Indenture within ninety (90) days following the notice or cessation; (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global First Priority Security, and a First Priority Holder has made a written request to the Company for a Certificated First Priority Security in exchange for its interest in a Global First Priority Security; or (C) a request for Certificated First Priority Securities has been made by a First Priority Holder upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice given to the First Priority Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Depositary’s customary procedures and a copy of such notice has been received by the Company from the First Priority Indenture Trustee. Any Global First Priority Security exchanged under the circumstances described in clause (A) above

shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global First Priority Security exchanged under the circumstances described in clause (B) or (C) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any First Priority Security issued in exchange for a Global First Priority Security or any portion thereof registered in the name of the Depositary shall be a Global First Priority Security.

(3) Global First Priority Security to Certificated First Priority Security. First Priority Securities issued in exchange for a Global First Priority Security or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 2.6(h)(2) above shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global First Priority Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global First Priority Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global First Priority Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global First Priority Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the First Priority Indenture Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global First Priority Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the First Priority Indenture Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the First Priority Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(4) Supply of Certificates. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.6(h)(2) above, the Company will promptly make available to the First Priority Indenture Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated First Priority Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(5) No Rights of Agent Members in Global First Priority Security. Neither any Agent Members, nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act (including Euroclear and Clearstream and account holders and participants therein), shall have any direct rights under this First Priority Indenture against the Company or any First Priority Guarantor with respect to or under any Global First Priority Security, and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the First Priority Indenture Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the First Priority Indenture Trustee as the absolute owner and First Priority Holder of such Global First Priority Security for all purposes whatsoever, subject to Section 5.4(b), Section 5.8, and Section 7.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the First Priority Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Company or the First Priority Indenture Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy, or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, and nothing herein shall impair, as between the Depositary or its nominee, its Agent Members, and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary

practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of an interest in any First Priority Security.

SECTION 2.7. Replacement First Priority Securities.

(a) If a mutilated First Priority Security is surrendered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee or if the First Priority Holder of a First Priority Security claims and submits an affidavit or other evidence, satisfactory to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, to the effect that the First Priority Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the First Priority Indenture Trustee or any authenticating agent of the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall, upon written order of the Company, in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, authenticate a replacement First Priority Security if the First Priority Indenture Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the Company, such First Priority Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Company and the First Priority Indenture Trustee, to protect the Company, the First Priority Indenture Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a First Priority Security is replaced. The Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessment, or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to the issuance of any new First Priority Security and charge such First Priority Holder for its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a First Priority Security.

(b) Upon the written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate First Priority Securities in replacement of First Priority Securities then outstanding, in order to reflect any corporate name change of the Company.

(c) Every replacement First Priority Security shall be in a principal amount identical to the First Priority Security being replaced and shall be on all other terms, and subject to all conditions, as the First Priority Security being replaced. Every replacement First Priority Security shall constitute a valid obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this First Priority Indenture equally and proportionately with all other First Priority Securities duly issued hereunder.

SECTION 2.8. Outstanding First Priority Securities.

(a) First Priority Securities outstanding at any time are all the First Priority Securities that have been authenticated by the First Priority Indenture Trustee (including any First Priority Security represented by a Global First Priority Security) pursuant to this First Priority Indenture except for (i) any First Priority Securities cancelled by it, (ii) any First Priority Securities delivered to it for cancellation, and (iii) any First Priority Securities described in Section 2.8(b) and (c) as not outstanding, provided, however, that a First Priority Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the First Priority Security, except as provided in Section 2.9.

(b) If a First Priority Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 (other than a mutilated First Priority Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless a Trust Officer of the First Priority Indenture Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the

replaced First Priority Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated First Priority Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such First Priority Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

(c) If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Paying Agent irrevocably and indefeasibly holds, in an account located in the U.S., cash or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) and premium, if any, due on the First Priority Securities payable on that date, and if payment of the First Priority Securities called for Redemption is not otherwise prohibited, then on and after that date such First Priority Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.9. Treasury First Priority Securities.

In determining whether the First Priority Holders of the required principal amount of First Priority Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, First Priority Securities owned by the Company or by any Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver, or consent, only First Priority Securities that a Trust Officer of the First Priority Indenture Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, First Priority Securities that are to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer, or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such First Priority Securities passes to such entity.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary First Priority Securities.

Until First Priority Securities in permanent form are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate temporary First Priority Securities. Temporary First Priority Securities shall be substantially in the form of First Priority Securities in permanent form but may have variations that the Company reasonably and in good faith considers appropriate for temporary First Priority Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate First Priority Securities in permanent form in exchange for temporary First Priority Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary First Priority Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this First Priority Indenture as First Priority Securities in permanent form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver any First Priority Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder and acquired by the Company to the First Priority Indenture Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the First Priority Indenture Trustee any First Priority Securities surrendered to it or them (as applicable) for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The First Priority Indenture Trustee or, at the direction of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the

Company or an Affiliate of the Company), and no other Person, shall return and cancel and shall dispose of all First Priority Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, or cancellation in accordance with its normal procedures. Except as provided in Section 2.7, the Company may not issue new First Priority Securities to replace First Priority Securities that have been paid or delivered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee for cancellation. No First Priority Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any First Priority Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 2.11, except as expressly permitted in the form of First Priority Securities and as permitted by this First Priority Indenture.

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest.

(a) Any interest on any First Priority Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, plus, to the extent lawful, any interest payable on the defaulted interest (such interest and such interest-on-interest being referred to collectively herein as “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the persons in whose names the First Priority Securities (or their respective predecessor First Priority Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each First Priority Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of cash in U.S. dollars equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such cash when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.12(a)(1). Thereupon the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the First Priority Indenture Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each First Priority Holder at his address as it appears in the First Priority Security register not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the First Priority Securities (or their respective predecessor First Priority Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Section 2.12(a)(2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any First Priority Securities exchange on which the First Priority Securities may be listed, and upon such written notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner shall be deemed reasonable and practicable by the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(a), each First Priority Security delivered under this First Priority Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other First Priority Security shall carry the rights to Defaulted Interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue and to be paid, which were carried by such other First Priority Security as of the date of transfer or exchange.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and/or CINS and/or ISIN Numbers.

The Company in issuing the First Priority Securities shall use “CUSIP” numbers, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or “CINS” and/or “ISIN” numbers in Notices of Redemption and other notices as a convenience to the Company and the First Priority Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the First Priority Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the First Priority Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the First Priority Indenture Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” or “CINS” or “ISIN” numbers.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.1. Optional Redemption.

The Company may redeem the First Priority Securities, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to compliance with Section 3.3 and indefeasible payment of the Redemption Price to the Paying Agent on the Redemption Date for the benefit of the First Priority Holders whose First Priority Securities are being redeemed (each such redemption being an “Optional Redemption”).

SECTION 3.2. Mandatory Redemption.

(a) Unless the Requisite First Priority Holders shall otherwise agree pursuant to Section 7.3(a), if on any date the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive or be entitled to receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than any Asset Sale that constitutes a Change of Control and other than any Asset Sale described in Section 4.21(a)(1) through (5)), then all such Net Cash Proceeds over U.S.$2.5 million per year, less the amount of Net Cash Proceeds with respect to which a Reinvestment Notice has been delivered and is

effective, shall be applied within thirty (30) days to redeem the First Priority Securities at the Redemption Price, and each such date shall be a Redemption Date; provided, however, that:

	(i)		no Reinvestment Notice may be delivered if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and

	(ii)		the Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales with respect to which Reinvestment Notices have been delivered may not exceed U.S.$15.0 million in the aggregate, and

	(iii)		any Reinvestment Redemption Amount shall be applied on the Reinvestment Redemption Date to redeem the First Priority Securities at the Redemption Price, and each such Reinvestment Redemption Date shall be a Redemption Date, and

	(v)		no Reinvestment Notice may be delivered or be effective for any Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale with respect to an entire Existing Satellite or an Additional Satellite.

(b) Unless the Requisite First Priority Holders shall otherwise agree pursuant to Section 7.3(a), if on any date the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive or be entitled to receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event, then all such Net Cash Proceeds, less the amount of Net Cash Proceeds with respect to which a Reinvestment Notice has been delivered and is effective, shall be applied within thirty (30) days to redeem the First Priority Securities at the Redemption Price, and each such date shall be a Redemption Date; provided, however, that

	(i)		no Reinvestment Notice may be delivered if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and

	(ii)		no Reinvestment Notice may be delivered or be effective for any Net Cash Proceeds of a Recovery Event that is a total loss of an Existing Satellite or an Additional Satellite, and

	(iii)		no Reinvestment Notice may be delivered or be effective for any Net Cash Proceeds of a Recovery Event that is a partial loss of an Existing Satellite or an Additional Satellite to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds, together with the Net Cash Proceeds of any other Recovery Event that is a partial loss of an Existing Satellite or an Additional Satellite, exceed U.S.$25.0 million, and

	(iv)		no Reinvestment Notice may be delivered or be effective for any Net Cash Proceeds of a Recovery Event that is not a total loss or a partial loss of an Existing Satellite or an Additional Satellite to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds, together with the Net Cash Proceeds of any other Recovery Event that is not a total loss or a partial loss of an Existing Satellite or an Additional Satellite, exceed U.S.$2.5 million, unless such Recovery Event results from a loss or partial loss of a Ground Control Station, and

	(v)		any Reinvestment Redemption Amount shall be applied on the Reinvestment Redemption Date to redeem the First Priority Securities at the Redemption Price, and each such Reinvestment Redemption Date shall be a Redemption Date, and

	(vi)		the Net Cash Proceeds of a Recovery Event that are subject to a Reinvestment Notice shall be deposited and held in a First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Account pending disbursement or redemption in accordance herewith and in accordance with the First Priority Collateral Trust Agreement.

(c) Unless the Requisite First Priority Holders shall otherwise agree pursuant to Section 7.3(a), if, for any fiscal quarter of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2007, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then the Company shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply all of such Excess Cash Flow in projections certified in an Officer’s Certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Company, as Excess Cash Flow to be used in the immediately following fiscal quarter for purposes permitted under Section 4.18(b)) to redeem the First Priority Securities at the Redemption Price, and each such Excess Cash Flow Application Date shall be a Redemption Date. The Company shall give the First Priority Indenture Trustee written notice of the amount of such prepayment or redemption applicable to the First Priority Securities, in the form of a Trustee Redemption Notice, no later than thirty (30) days before the end of the fiscal quarter with respect to which such prepayment is made. The Trustee Redemption Notice shall contain a calculation of Excess Cash Flow for the applicable quarter and shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Company that certifies the correctness and completeness of the calculation and the reasonableness of the estimates included therein. Each payment of Excess Cash Flow to the Paying Agent to redeem the First Priority Securities shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than the last day of the calendar quarter for which the Excess Cash Flow is calculated.

(d) Each of the types of redemption referenced in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 3.2 shall be referred to as types of “Mandatory Redemption,” and the Company shall be obligated to redeem the First Priority Securities upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in each of the paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 3.2.

SECTION 3.3. Process for Optional Redemption and Mandatory Redemption.

(a) Optional Redemption. If the Company elects to redeem First Priority Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, then the Company shall (i) provide the First Priority Indenture Trustee with a Trustee Redemption Notice at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, and (ii) pay the Redemption Price to Paying Agent on the Redemption Date, provided, however, that if a Redemption Date is a non-Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.

(b) Mandatory Redemption. If the Company is required to redeem First Priority Securities pursuant to Section 3.2, then the Company shall (i) provide the First Priority Indenture Trustee with a Trustee Redemption Notice within thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date or, in the case of a Mandatory Redemption pursuant to Section 3.2(c), within the period of time specified in Section 3.2(c); and (ii) pay the Redemption Price to the Paying Agent on the Redemption Date, provided, however, that if a Redemption Date is a non-Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.

(c) Trustee Redemption Notice. Each Trustee Redemption Notice shall be in writing and shall state all of the following (and each notice satisfying the requirement of this Section 3.3(c) shall be a “Trustee Redemption Notice”):

	(i)		the CUSIP number of the First Priority Securities to be redeemed;

	(ii)		the Redemption Date;

	(iii)		the aggregate principal amount of First Priority Securities to be redeemed;

	(iv)		the applicable Redemption Price and an explanation of how the applicable Redemption Price was calculated, including allocation by principal, interest, premium, and Additional Amounts, as applicable;

	(v)		a statement that the First Priority Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to a Paying Agent at the address specified in such notice to collect the Redemption Price with respect to such First Priority Securities;

	(vi)		a statement that interest on First Priority Securities called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the First Priority Holders of such First Priority Securities being redeemed is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to a Paying Agent of the First Priority Securities to be redeemed, unless (i) the Company is in default of its obligation to pay to the Paying Agent cash in an amount to fund the Redemption Price, or (ii) payment of the Redemption Price to the First Priority Holders is otherwise prohibited;

	(vii)		if any First Priority Security is being redeemed in part, an identification of the portion of the principal amount equal to U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, of such First Priority Security to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such First Priority Security, a new First Priority Security or First Priority Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued;

	(viii)		if less than all the First Priority Securities are to be redeemed, an identification of the particular First Priority Securities (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of such First Priority Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of First Priority Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

	(ix)		whether the redemption will occur pursuant to an Optional Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, and, if a Mandatory Redemption, whether pursuant to Section 3.2(a), 3.2(b), or 3.2(c); and

	(x)		for any Mandatory Redemption under Section 3.2(c), the calculation of Excess Cash Flow required under Section 3.2(c) (the Officer’s Certificate required by Section 3.2(c) shall be attached to the Trustee Redemption Notice for any Mandatory Redemption under that section); and

	(xi)		a statement of whether the Company elects to have the First Priority Indenture Trustee give notice of redemption to the First Priority Holders on behalf of and at the expense of the Company or whether the Company elects to give notice of redemption on its own behalf.

(d) Holder Redemption Notice. The Company shall provide each First Priority Holder whose First Priority Securities are to be redeemed with advance written notice of the redemption at least thirty (30) but not more that sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date for any Optional Redemption and within thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date for any Mandatory Redemption (the “Holder Redemption Notice”); provided, however, that in the case of a Mandatory Redemption pursuant to Section 3.2(c), the Holder Redemption Notice shall be sent to the First Priority Holders within three (3) Business Days of the date that the First Priority Trustee receives the corresponding Trustee Redemption Notice. The Holder Redemption Notice shall include (a) all of the information required under Section 3.3(c) to be included in a Trustee Redemption Notice, with the exception of Section 3.3(c)(xi); (b) for any Mandatory Redemption, a statement that the Redemption Price has been paid to the Paying Agent; and (c) a detailed description of the process for redemption, including the address(es) of the Paying Agent(s) and First Priority Indenture Trustee. The Company may elect that the First Priority Indenture Trustee provide the Holder Redemption Notice on behalf of the Company, at the Company’s expense, and, if made, such election shall be stated by the Company in the Trustee Redemption Notice; provided, however, that in the event of such election by the Company, the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall be notified by the Company at least thirty-five (35) days prior to the Redemption Date.

(e) Effectiveness of Notices. Any Trustee Redemption Notice relating to a Mandatory Redemption shall be irrevocable and non-cancelable once sent. Any Trustee Redemption Notice relating to an Optional Redemption may be cancelled by the Company, at any time prior to the mailing of the corresponding Holder Redemption Notice, by means of a written notice of cancellation from the Company to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, which cancellation shall be effective as of the time that the cancellation notice is received by a Trust Officer of the First Priority Indenture Trustee. Any Holder Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable and non-cancelable once sent. Once any Trustee Redemption Notice or Holder Redemption Notice becomes irrevocable and non-cancelable, the First Priority Securities called for redemption therein become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. No failure by the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary, any First Priority Guarantor, or the First Priority Indenture Trustee to comply with the procedures of this Section 3.3 shall in any way impair the rights of the First Priority Holders to receive the Redemption Price in connection with any Optional Redemption or Mandatory Redemption.

(f) Payment to First Priority Holders. Upon surrender of such First Priority Securities called for Mandatory Redemption or Optional Redemption, the Redemption Price for such First Priority Securities shall be paid to the First Priority Holders by the Paying Agent, to the extent that the Paying Agent has received the Redemption Price. Upon surrender of a First Priority Security that is to be redeemed in part under an Optional Redemption or Mandatory Redemption, the Company shall execute, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the First Priority Holder, without service charge to the First Priority Holder, a new First Priority Security or First Priority Securities equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the First Priority Security surrendered. First Priority Holders whose interests are reflected in Certificated First Priority Securities, as a condition to having such Certificated Priority Securities redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3, shall surrender their Certificated First Priority Securities to the Paying Agent for delivery to the First Priority Indenture Trustee (or directly to the First Priority Indenture Trustee if the First Priority Indenture Trustee is acting as Paying Agent) for cancellation.

(g) Selection of First Priority Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all of the First Priority Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to an Optional Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, then the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall select the First Priority Securities or portions thereof for redemption on a pro rata basis, or by such other method as the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate in compliance with this First Priority Indenture and the law applicable hereto, or, with respect to a Global First Priority Security, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall make the selection from the First Priority Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption and shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the First Priority Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any First Priority Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The First Priority Indenture Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof). Provisions of this First Priority Indenture that apply to First Priority Securities called for Mandatory Redemption and/or Optional Redemption also apply to portions of First Priority Securities called for Mandatory Redemption and/or Optional Redemption, provided, however,

that partial redemptions of First Priority Securities under an Optional Redemption shall be in an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

SECTION 3.4. Change of Control Redemption.

(a) Upon any Change of Control, the First Priority Holders shall have the right to have their First Priority Securities redeemed at the Redemption Price (a “Change of Control Redemption”).

(b) Not more than ninety (90) days and not less than sixty (60) days prior to any Change of Control, the Company shall deliver a notice of the Change of Control to the First Priority Indenture Trustee (the “Trustee Change of Control Notice”). The Trustee Change of Control Notice shall include (a) an explanation of the Change of Control; (b) an offer by the Company to pay the Redemption Price to any or all of the First Priority Holders on or before the Change of Control Date; (c) the Change of Control Date and, if prior to the Change of Control Date, the Redemption Date; (d) the applicable Redemption Price and an explanation of how the applicable Redemption Price was calculated, including allocation by principal, interest, premium, and Additional Amounts, as applicable; (e) all of the information required to be included in a Trustee Redemption Notice under Section 3.3(c)(i), (v), (vi), (vii), and (viii) and all of the information provided to the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or any Second Priority Holder in connection with the same Change of Control; (f) information concerning the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in good faith believe will enable the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the First Priority Holders to act in an informed manner with respect to the Change of Control Notice and the rights appurtenant thereto, including the most recent annual and quarterly financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and appropriate pro forma financial information concerning the Change of Control; (g) the date by which a First Priority Holder must elect to have all or part of its First Priority Securities redeemed (the “Change of Control Election Date”); (h) a form by which each First Priority Holder may elect to have all or part of its First Priority Securities redeemed (the “Change of Control Election Form”); and (i) a statement of whether the Company elects to have the First Priority Indenture Trustee give notice of the Change of Control to the First Priority Holders on behalf of and at the expense of the Company or whether the Company elects to give notice of redemption on its own behalf.

(c) Not more than ninety (90) and not less than sixty (60) days prior to any Change of Control, the Company shall deliver to each First Priority Holder a notice of the Change of Control (the “Holder Change of Control Notice”). The Holder Change of Control Notice shall include (a) all of the information required to be included in a Trustee Change of Control Notice under Section 3.4(b); and (b) a detailed description of the process for redemption, including the address(es) of the Paying Agent(s) and First Priority Indenture Trustee. The Company may elect that the First Priority Indenture Trustee provide the Holder Change of Control Notice on behalf of the Company, at the Company’s expense, and, if made, such election shall be stated by the Company in the Trustee Change of Control Notice. Whether delivered by the Company or by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Holders shall receive the Holder Change of Control Notice not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior

to earlier of the Change of Control Date and the corresponding Redemption Date and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable Change of Control Election Date.

(d) Only those First Priority Holders who return a properly completed Change of Control Election Form to the First Priority Indenture Trustee by the Change of Control Election Date shall be entitled to have their First Priority Securities redeemed. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of the principal amount of the First Priority Securities of the First Priority Holders who have timely returned a Change of Control Election Form. Other than delivering the Change of Control Election Form (or assisting an Agent Member in the execution and delivery of the Change of Control Election Form), holders of interests in Global First Priority Securities are not required to take any action in order to have such Global First Priority Securities redeemed, to the extent of such interests, pursuant to this Section 3.4. First Priority Holders whose interests are reflected in Certificated First Priority Securities, as a condition to having such Certificated Priority Securities redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.4, shall surrender their Certificated First Priority Securities to the Paying Agent for delivery to the First Priority Indenture Trustee (or directly to the First Priority Indenture Trustee if the First Priority Indenture Trustee is acting as Paying Agent) for cancellation.

(e) As required under Section 3.5 hereof, and in any event on or before the date that any Change of Control occurs, the Company shall pay to the Paying Agent the aggregate Redemption Price for all First Priority Securities for which a properly completed Change of Control Election Form was timely delivered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee (the “Change of Control Amount”). To the extent that the Paying Agent receives the Change of Control Amount, the Paying Agent shall promptly pay the respective portions of the Change of Control Amount to the First Priority Holders who timely elected to have their First Priority Securities redeemed.

(f) Upon payment of the Change of Control Amount to the applicable First Priority Holders, the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall reduce, by means of an appropriate adjustment in its records, the principal amount of the Global First Priority Security by an amount equal to the Change of Control Amount paid to the First Priority Holders of the Global First Priority Security (or shall deem surrendered, and shall cancel, the Global First Priority Security if all interests under the Global First Priority Security have been redeemed) and shall promptly cancel all Certificated First Priority Securities surrendered to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.4(d) (upon delivery of such Certificated First Priority Securities by the Paying Agent to the First Priority Indenture Trustee if the First Priority Indenture Trustee is not acting as Paying Agent). If part but not all of a Certificated First Priority Security is sought to be redeemed by a First Priority Holder, then, upon cancellation of the surrendered Certificated First Priority Security, the Company shall execute and the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the First Priority Holder of the Certificated First Priority Security so surrendered and cancelled, without charge, a new Certificated First Priority Security in a principal amount equal to (x) the principal amount of the surrendered and cancelled Certificated First Priority Security of such First Priority Holder, less (y) the Change of Control Amount distributed to such First Priority Holder.

(g) Any Trustee Change of Control Notice and any Holder Change of Control Notice shall be irrevocable and non-cancelable once sent. Once any Trustee Change of Control Notice or Holder Change of Control Notice becomes irrevocable and non-cancelable, the First Priority Securities called for redemption therein become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. No failure by the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary, any First Priority Guarantor, or the First Priority Indenture Trustee to comply with the procedures of this Section 3.4 shall in any way impair the rights of the First Priority Holders to receive the Redemption Price in connection with any Change of Control.

SECTION 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price for Mandatory Redemption, Optional Redemption, and Change of Control Redemption.

(a) The Company shall deposit in a U.S. account with the Principal Paying Agent or the First Priority Indenture Trustee, as required, by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, cash sufficient to pay the amounts due on account of all First Priority Securities to be redeemed on such Redemption Date for any Mandatory Redemption, Optional Redemption, or Change of Control Redemption (other than First Priority Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation). The Company shall request that the bank through which such deposit is to be made agree to supply the Principal Paying Agent or First Priority Indenture Trustee, as applicable, by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the due date for any such deposit an irrevocable confirmation (by tested telex or SWIFT MT 100 Message) of its intention to make such deposit. The Principal Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any cash so deposited which is not required for that purpose upon the written request of the Company.

(b) If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph and the other provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4, as applicable, and payment of the First Priority Securities called for redemption is not otherwise prohibited, interest on the First Priority Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such First Priority Securities are presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any First Priority Security surrendered for redemption in the manner provided in the First Priority Securities shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph or the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4, as applicable, then interest (including any Additional Amounts, if any) shall continue to accrue and be paid from the Redemption Date until such payment is made on the unpaid principal, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest (and Additional Amounts and premiums (including Optional Redemption Premiums and Change of Control Redemption Premiums, if any)) not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided herein and in the First Priority Security, including any applicable default rates.

In the event any Withholding Taxes are required to be so withheld or deducted, the Company will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, and the First Priority Guarantors will, (i) pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by the First Priority Holders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, (ii) deduct or withhold such Withholding Taxes and (iii) remit the full amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing or other authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Additional Amounts shall be payable for or on account of:

any Withholding Taxes which would not have been imposed or levied on a First Priority Holder but for the existence of any present or former connection between the First Priority Holder, or beneficial owner of the First Priority Security, and the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such First Priority Holder or beneficial owner (i) being or having been a citizen or resident of the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, (ii) maintaining or having maintained an office, permanent establishment, fixed base or branch in the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (iii) being or having been present or engaged in trade or business in the applicable Relevant Taxing

			Jurisdiction, except for a connection solely arising from the mere ownership of, or receipt of payment under, such First Priority Security or interest therein or any other debt or equity security issued by the Company (including any Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or interest therein), or the exercise of rights under such First Priority Security or this First Priority Indenture;

	(ii)		any Withholding Taxes that are imposed or levied by reason of the failure by the First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of such First Priority Security to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation, declaration or other reporting requirement which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation, general rule, or administrative practice as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the imposition, withholding, or deduction of any Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that at least sixty (60) days prior to (x) the first payment date with respect to which the Company shall apply this Section 4.2(a)(ii), and (y) in the event of a change in such certification, identification, information, documentation, declaration, or other reporting requirement, the first payment date subsequent to such change, the Company shall have notified the First Priority Indenture Trustee, in writing, that the First Priority Holders or beneficial owners of the First Priority Securities will be required to provide such certification, identification, information or documentation, declaration, or other reporting and provided, further, that such First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of such First Priority Security is legally able or entitled to provide such certification, identification, information, documentation, declaration or other information;

	(iii)		any Withholding Taxes that are imposed or levied by reason of the failure by the First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of such First Priority Security to comply on a timely basis (subject to the conditions set forth below) with a written request by or on behalf of the Company to provide for tax purposes information, documentation or other evidence concerning the nationality, tax residency, identity, or registration with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of Mexico (the “Finance Ministry”) of the First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of such First Priority Security that is necessary from time to time to determine the appropriate rate of deduction or withholding of Withholding Taxes applicable to such First Priority Holder or beneficial owner; provided, however, that at least sixty (60) days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the Company shall apply this Section 4.2(a)(iii), the Company shall have notified the First Priority Indenture Trustee, in writing, that such First Priority Holders or beneficial owners of the First Priority Securities will be required to provide such information, documentation or other evidence;

	(iv)		except as otherwise provided, any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, or personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

	(v)		any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) above.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(a), the limitations on the Company’s or a First Priority Guarantor’s obligation to pay and to cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay Additional Amounts set forth in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and (iii) above shall not apply if the provision of the certification, identification, information, documentation, declaration or other evidence described in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and (iii) would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of a First Priority Security (taking into account any relevant differences between U.S. law and the law of the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, regulation or administrative practice) than comparable information or other applicable reporting requirements imposed or provided for under U.S. federal income tax law (including the United States-Mexico Income Tax Treaty), regulation (including proposed regulations) and administrative practice. In addition, the limitations on the Company’s obligation to pay and to cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay Additional Amounts set forth in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and (iii) above shall not apply if Rule 3.23.8 published in the Official Gazette of the Federation of Mexico (Diario Oficial de la Federation) on April 28, 2006, as amended, or a substantially similar successor of such rule is in effect, unless (x) the provision of the certification, identification, information, documentation, declaration or other evidence described in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and (iii) is expressly required by statute, regulation, general rules or administrative practice in order to apply Rule 3.23.8 (or a substantially similar successor of such rule), the Company cannot obtain such certification, identification, information, or satisfy any other reporting requirements, on its own through reasonable diligence and the Company otherwise would meet the requirements for application of Rule 3.23.8 (or such successor of such rule) or (y) in the case of a First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of a First Priority Security that is a pension fund or other tax-exempt organization, payments to such First Priority Holder or beneficial owner would be subject to Withholding Taxes at a rate less than that provided by Rule 3.23.8 (or such successor of such rule) if the information, documentation, or other evidence required under Section 4.2(a)(iii) were provided. In addition, Section 4.2(a)(ii) above shall not be construed to require that a non- Mexican pension or retirement fund, a non-Mexican tax-exempt organization, a non-Mexican financial institution or any other First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of a First Priority Security register with the Ministry for the purpose of establishing eligibility for an exemption from or reduction of Withholding Taxes.

(c) The Company and each First Priority Guarantor, as applicable, will promptly provide the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent with a duly certified or authenticated copy of an original receipt of the payment of Withholding Taxes which the Company or such First Priority Guarantor has withheld or deducted in respect of any payments made under or with respect to the First Priority Securities, copies of which receipt shall be made available to First Priority Holders upon request to the Company or First Priority Guarantor, as applicable, or to the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent.

(d) In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid by the Company or a First Priority Guarantor with respect to any First Priority Securities are based on Withholding Taxes in excess of the appropriate Withholding Taxes applicable to the First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of such First Priority Securities and, as a result thereof, such First Priority Holder or beneficial owner is entitled to make a claim for a refund of such excess, or credit such excess against Withholding Taxes, then, to the extent it is able to do so without jeopardizing its entitlement to such refund or credit, such First Priority Holder or beneficial owner shall, by accepting the First Priority Securities, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title and interest to any claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company or First Priority Guarantor. By making such assignment and transfer, the First Priority Holder or beneficial owner makes no representation or warranty that the Company or First Priority Guarantor will be entitled to receive such claim for a refund or credit and incurs no other obligation with respect thereto (including executing or delivering any documents and paying any costs or expenses of the Company or First Priority Guarantor relating to obtaining such refund). Nothing contained in this Section 4.2(d) shall interfere with the right of each First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of a First Priority Security to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any First Priority Holder or beneficial owner of a First Priority Security to claim any refund or credit or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. Nothing in this Section 4.2(d) shall impair the right of a First Priority Holder to full and timely payment of all amounts due hereunder and under the First Priority Holder’s First Priority Securities.

(e) If the Company or a First Priority Guarantor is obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the First Priority Securities, the Company or First Priority Guarantor will, upon written request, deliver to the First Priority Indenture Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts are payable and the amounts so payable.

(f) The Company and each First Priority Guarantor will also pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary, or other similar taxes and other duties (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed or levied by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of the creation, issue and offering of the First Priority Securities, and any court or similar tax or duty payable in connection with the enforcement with the rights of the First Priority Holders and the First Priority Indenture Trustee under this First Priority Indenture and the other First Priority Documents.

(g) The Company (and, to the extent applicable, each First Priority Guarantor) will:

(i)

at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the first Interest Payment Date (and at least ten (10) Business Days prior to each succeeding Interest Payment Date or any Redemption Date or Maturity Date if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate), deliver to the First Priority Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate (A) specifying the amount, if

			any, of taxes described in this Section 4.2 (the “Relevant Withholding Taxes”) required to be deducted or withheld on the payment of principal of or interest on the First Priority Securities to First Priority Holders and the Additional Amounts, if any, due to First Priority Holders in connection with such payment, and (B) certifying that the Company will pay such deduction or withholding;

	(ii)		prior to the due date for the payment thereof, pay any such Relevant Withholding Taxes, together with any penalties or interest applicable thereto;

	(iii)		within fifteen (15) days after paying such Relevant Withholding Taxes, deliver to the First Priority Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent evidence of such payment of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority as described in this Section 4.2; and

	(iv)		pay any Additional Amounts due to First Priority Holders on any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Maturity Date, or other due date to the First Priority Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.2 and Section 2.4.

(h) The Company and each First Priority Guarantor hereby covenants to indemnify the First Priority Indenture Trustee, any predecessor to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, and each Paying Agent for, and to hold each harmless against, any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense reasonably incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on such Person’s part, arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 4.2 or the failure of the First Priority Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent for any reason (other than its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) to receive on a timely basis any such Officers’ Certificate or any information or documentation requested by it or otherwise required by applicable law or regulations to be obtained, furnished or filed in respect of such Relevant Withholding Taxes.

(i) The Company and each First Priority Guarantor will make available, to any First Priority Holder requesting the same, evidence that the applicable Relevant Withholding Taxes have been paid.

(j) Any Officers’ Certificate required by this Section 4.2 to be provided to the First Priority Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent will be deemed to be duly provided if sent by facsimile to and received by a Trust Officer of the First Priority Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent.

SECTION 4.3. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

(a) The Company shall maintain in The City of New York, an office or agency where First Priority Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where First Priority Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices

and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the First Priority Securities and this First Priority Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the First Priority Indenture Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the First Priority Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the First Priority Indenture Trustee set forth in Section 10.1, and the making or service of such presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands shall be deemed authorized by the Company and each First Priority Guarantor and valid for all purposes. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its New York office.

(b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the First Priority Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in The City of New York, for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the First Priority Indenture Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as such office.

SECTION 4.4. Maintenance of Existence and Conduct of Business.

(a) Except as otherwise provided or permitted in Section 4.24 or elsewhere in this First Priority Indenture, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to (i) preserve, renew, and otherwise keep in full force and effect (y) its corporate existence and the corporate existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) and (z) the rights and privileges (charter and statutory), concessions (including without limitation the Concessions), and corporate franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries: provided, however, that clause (z) shall not apply to a right, privilege, concession, or franchise to the extent that the Board of Directors shall reasonably determine in good faith that such right, privilege, concession, or franchise is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary and that a loss or impairment of such right, privilege, concession, or franchise could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (ii) comply with all Contractual Obligations except to the extent that the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith that the failure to comply therewith could not, individually or in the aggregate with any other acts, events, or conditions applicable to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, be principally engaged in any business or activity other than the Permitted Business. In addition, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, transfer to any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (i) any of the licenses, permits, concessions, franchises, or authorizations used in the Permitted Business of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on the Issue Date or at any time thereafter (including, without limitation, any of the Concessions) or (ii) any portion of the “property and equipment”

(as such term is used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements) of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may make Asset Sales in accordance with Section 4.21.

SECTION 4.5. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance.

(a) The Company shall cause all material properties used or useful to the conduct of its business and the business of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in its reasonable judgment may be necessary, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.5 shall (i) prohibit the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from engaging in any transaction permitted under Section 4.21 or Section 4.24, subject, however, to the terms thereof, or (ii) prevent the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from discontinuing any operation or maintenance of any of such properties, or Disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or Disposal is (a) in the judgment of the Company desirable in the conduct of the business of such entity and the Company and Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole and (b) could not reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect.

(b)

(i) The Company shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, (A) keep all Property useful and necessary in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and (B) maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on its Property in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing insurance requirements, the Company shall keep in effect in-orbit insurance and launch insurance, as applicable, issued by insurance companies that are internationally recognized in the satellite telecommunications industry as reputable space insurance carriers, on each of the Existing Satellites and Additional Satellites, as applicable (with such launch insurance being required only for Additional Satellites) in an amount equal to U.S.$25,000,000 in excess of its replacement cost (including launch fees and costs) or such lower amount that is the maximum insurance amount available on commercially reasonable terms for the applicable satellite, as determined by the Company after due inquiry with substantially all insurance companies that are internationally recognized in the satellite telecommunications industry as reputable space insurance carriers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to keep in effect in-orbit insurance with regard to its Solidaridad 2 satellite after December 5, 2006, if the Board of Directors reasonably determines that the current and expected operating costs of Solidaridad 2, including orbital incentive payments, exceed the current and expected revenues,

			respectively, of Solidaridad 2 over the remaining useful life of Solidaridad 2. Any insured loss of an Existing Satellite or an Additional Satellite, whether a partial loss, total loss, or otherwise, shall constitute a Recovery Event. All policies of insurance insuring First Priority Collateral against damage or loss will name the First Priority Collateral Trustee as loss payee, and, to the extent that the applicable insurance companies will permit after the Company’s best efforts, additional insured, and all Proceeds of insurance and all Proceeds of any other Recovery Event shall be held by the First Priority Collateral Trustee in a First Priority Collateral Trustee Segregated Account as cash collateral for the First Priority Obligations and applied in payment of the First Priority Obligations as a Mandatory Redemption to the extent provided under Section 3.2(b) of this First Priority Indenture or otherwise in accordance with the First Priority Documents.

	(ii)		Within thirty (30) days following any date on which the Company is required to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 4.5(b), the Company shall deliver to a Trust Officer of the First Priority Indenture Trustee an insurance certificate certifying the amount of insurance then carried and in full force and effect, and an Officers’ Certificate stating that such insurance, together with any other insurance maintained by the Company, complies with this First Priority Indenture. In addition, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee no less than once each year an insurance certificate setting forth the amount of insurance then carried, which insurance certificate shall entitle the First Priority Indenture Trustee to: (y) notice of any claim under any such insurance policy; and (z) at least thirty (30) days’ notice from the provider of such insurance prior to the cancellation of any such insurance.

SECTION 4.6. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

(a) The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except (i) as contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, or (ii) where the failure to effect such payment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) In addition to the requirements of clause (a) above, the Company shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, pay, discharge, or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all its other material obligations of whatever nature, except where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and except where such payment, discharge, or satisfaction is expressly limited by the First Priority Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 4.7. Compliance with Requirements of Law and Environmental Laws.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law including, without limitation, all provisions of the Mexican Telecommunications Law related to the Concessions and all Mexican laws relating to statutorily mandated social security, labor, workers’ housing fund, and retirement fund obligations.

	(i)		comply in all material respects with, and ensure compliance in all material respects by all tenants and subtenants, if any, with, all applicable Environmental Laws, and obtain and comply in all material respects with and maintain, and ensure that all tenants and subtenants obtain and comply in all material respects with and maintain, any and all licenses, approvals, notifications, registrations, or permits required by applicable Environmental Laws; and

	(ii)		conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and all remedial, removal, and other actions required under Environmental Laws and promptly comply in all material respects with all lawful orders and directives of all Governmental Authorities regarding Environmental Laws.

SECTION 4.8. Compliance with Concessions.

The Company shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, timely comply with the terms of the Concessions and take such action as is required to keep the Concessions in full force and effect, except where the Board of Directors has adopted Board Resolutions in which it has reasonably determined that noncompliance or failure to take action could not cause a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.9. Compliance Certificate; Notice of Default.

The Company shall furnish to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, shall ensure that the First Priority Indenture Trustee promptly furnishes without cost to each First Priority Holder copies of, and shall maintain on the Company’s web site, accessible to all visitors, copies of:

Indenture or any Event of Default or Default which has occurred and is continuing and, if such signer does know of such a failure or default, the certificate shall describe such failure or default with particularity. The Officers’ Certificate shall also notify the First Priority Indenture Trustee should the relevant fiscal year end on any date other than the current fiscal year end date. The Company shall also comply with all other provisions of Section 314 of the TIA, including Section 314(b) thereof; and

(b) so long as any of the First Priority Securities are outstanding and promptly upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or any Event of Default unless one of its Trust Officers receives written notice thereof from the Company or any of the First Priority Holders at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the First Priority Securities (including CUSIP and/or CINS number) and this First Priority Indenture.

and all such financial statements shall be complete and correct in all material respects and shall be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein and with prior periods (except as approved by such accountants or officer, as the case may be, and disclosed therein). The Company shall also comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall make

available the information contemplated by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act upon the request of a First Priority Holder or of a prospective purchaser of a First Priority Security from the First Priority Holder thereof. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the First Priority Indenture Trustee is for informational purposes only and the First Priority Indenture Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the First Priority Indenture Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates, but which shall nevertheless not bind the First Priority Indenture Trustee).

(E) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the First Priority Indenture Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Requisite First Priority Holders;

it being understood and intended that no one or more First Priority Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this First Priority Indenture to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other First Priority Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other First Priority Holders, or to enforce any right under this First Priority Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the First Priority Holders.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or serial assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission by the First Priority Trustee or by any First Priority Holder of any First Priority Security to exercise any right or remedy arising upon any Event of Default shall impair the exercise of any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the First Priority Trustee or to the First Priority Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the First Priority Indenture Trustee or by the First Priority Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.11. Control by First Priority Holders.

The Requisite First Priority Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the First Priority Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the First Priority Indenture Trustee, provided that:

(b) Upon any waiver in accordance with Section 5.12(a), the waived Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this First Priority Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair the exercise of any right arising therefrom.

All parties to this First Priority Indenture agree, and each First Priority Holder of any First Priority Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this First Priority Indenture, or in any suit against the First Priority Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it as First Priority Indenture Trustee, any court may in its discretion require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any First Priority Guarantor, to any suit instituted by the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the First Priority Collateral Trustee, to any suit instituted by any First Priority Holder or group of First Priority Holders holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding First Priority Securities, or to any suit instituted by any First Priority Holder for enforcement of the payment of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts on any First Priority Security on or after the respective Maturity Date expressed in such First Priority Security (including, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Indenture Trustee and the First Priority Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the First Priority Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this First Priority Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(1) The First Priority Indenture Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in this First Priority Indenture and no others, and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in or read into this First Priority Indenture which are adverse to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, and

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this First Priority Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,

document, order or other instrument furnished to it under this Section 6.1 or otherwise under this First Priority Indenture, including without limitation, any statistical, numerical or financial data contained therein.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, every provision of this First Priority Indenture that in any way relates to the First Priority Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g) of this Section 6.1.

Assets held in trust by the First Priority Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other assets, except to the extent required by applicable law.

The First Priority Indenture Trustee and any Agent in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of First Priority Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company, one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or one or more of the Company’s Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the First Priority Indenture Trustee or Agent, as applicable.

Except in the case of a Default regarding payment of principal (or premium, if any) of, or interest on, any First Priority Security (including the payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date), the First Priority Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice of a Default that is not an Event of Default if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or reasonable officers of the First Priority Indenture Trustee in good faith reasonably determine that withholding the notice of such Default is in the best interest of the First Priority Holders.

SECTION 6.6. Reports by First Priority Indenture Trustee to First Priority Holders.

(a) The Company shall promptly notify the First Priority Indenture Trustee in writing if any of the First Priority Securities become listed on any stock exchange or automated quotation system or, in the event that any of the First Priority Securities are at any time listed on any stock exchange or automated quotation system, if any such First Priority Securities become delisted therefrom.

The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall also comply with the TIA with respect to reports, including without limitation TIA Sections 313(b), 313(c), and 313(d).

SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the First Priority Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The First Priority Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the First Priority Indenture Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses, and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with this First Priority Indenture. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements, and expenses of the First Priority Indenture Trustee’s agents (including, among others, the Principal Paying Agent), accountants, experts, and counsel.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify the First Priority Indenture Trustee and each of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact, and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any and all claims, demands, expenses (including but not limited to reasonable compensation, disbursements, and expenses of the First Priority Indenture Trustee’s agents and counsel), losses, damages, taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the First Priority Indenture Trustee), or liabilities incurred by the First Priority Indenture Trustee and any of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact, and agents without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the First Priority Indenture Trustee or any of its officers, directors, attorneys-in- fact, and agents, to the extent that such claims, demands, expenses, losses, damages, taxes, or liabilities arise out of or in connection with the acceptance and/or administration of the trust created by this First Priority Indenture and the rights or duties of the First Priority Indenture Trustee (in its individual capacity and in every other capacity) and any of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact, and agents hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending the First Priority Indenture Trustee and each of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact, and agents against any claims, demands, expenses, losses, damages, taxes, or liabilities in connection with the exercise or performance of any powers or duties of the First Priority Indenture Trustee and each of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact, and agents hereunder. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claims, demands, expenses, losses, damages, taxes, or liabilities asserted against the First Priority Indenture Trustee or any of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact, and agents for which indemnity may be sought hereunder. The Company shall defend the claims, demands, expenses, losses, damages, taxes, or liabilities, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee and each of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact, and agents shall provide reasonable cooperation, at the Company’s expense, in the defense. The First Priority Indenture Trustee and each of its officers, directors, attorneys-in- fact, and agents may have counsel separate from the counsel retained by the Company and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, in the event that more than one party is entitled to indemnity hereunder for the same claims, demands, expenses, losses, damages, taxes, or liabilities, the Company shall only be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one common set of separate lawyers for all such parties, unless there is a conflict of interests among such parties. The Company shall not be required to

102

pay any third party for any settlement of any claims, demands, expenses, losses, damages, taxes, or liabilities for which indemnity is sought hereunder unless the Company consents in writing to the settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The provisions of this Section 6.7(b) shall not apply to any claims, demands, expenses, losses, damages, taxes, or liabilities incurred through or resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the First Priority Indenture Trustee or any of its officers, directors, attorneys-in-fact, or agents.

(c) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in Section 6.7(a) and Section 6.7(b), the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall have a lien prior to the lien securing the First Priority Securities on all assets held or collected by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as First Priority Indenture Trustee, except assets held in trust to pay principal and premium, if any, of or interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on particular First Priority Securities.

(d) When the First Priority Indenture Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(j), (k), (1), or (m) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law, as applicable.

(e) The Company’s obligations under this Section 6.7 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the First Priority Indenture Trustee (and shall therefore be enforceable by any First Priority Indenture Trustee with respect to the period of time for which the First Priority Indenture Trustee serves as First Priority Indenture Trustee, whether such enforcement occurs during or after such period), the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article VIII of this First Priority Indenture, and any rejection, termination, disavowal, or breach of this First Priority Indenture that may be permissible under any Bankruptcy Law. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.7 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness under this Indenture and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(f) All indemnities to be paid under this First Priority Indenture shall be payable immediately when due in U.S. dollars (the “Dollars”) in the full amount due, without deduction for any variation in any Rate of Exchange (as defined below). The Company agrees to indemnify the First Priority Indenture Trustee against any losses incurred by the First Priority Indenture Trustee as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for the amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Other Currency”) other than Dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the dollar amount is converted into Other Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the First Priority Indenture Trustee is then able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the Other Currency actually received by the First Priority Indenture Trustee (for the purposes of this Section 6.7, the “Rate of Exchange”). The indemnity set forth in this paragraph shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.

103

(g) The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 6.8. Replacement of First Priority Indenture Trustee.

(a) The First Priority Indenture Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing and shall resign, if required under Section 6.10, by so notifying the Company in writing. Such resignation shall become effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 6.8(d), (f), or (g).

(b) The Requisite First Priority Holders may remove the First Priority Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Company and the First Priority Indenture Trustee that the First Priority Indenture Trustee is being removed. Such removal shall become effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 6.8(d), (f), or (g).

(c) The Company may remove the First Priority Indenture Trustee, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 6.8(d), (f), or (g), if any of the following occur:

	(i)		the First Priority Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;

	(ii)		the First Priority Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the First Priority Indenture Trustee under Bankruptcy Law;

	(iii)		a receiver, Custodian, or other public officer takes charge of the First Priority Indenture Trustee or its property; or

	(iv)		the First Priority Indenture Trustee becomes incapable of performing the acts that the First Priority Indenture Trustee is required to perform under this First Priority Indenture.

(d) If the First Priority Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of First Priority Indenture Trustee for any reason, the Company shall appoint a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee that satisfies the eligibility and qualification requirements under this First Priority Indenture, provided, however, that in the case of the removal of the First Priority Indenture Trustee under Section 6.8(b), the Requisite First Priority Holders may appoint a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee to replace the First Priority Indenture Trustee removed by such Requisite First Priority Holders. The appointment of a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee shall be effective upon the delivery to the Company and the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee of a written acceptance of appointment, and, upon the effectiveness of the appointment, the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers, and duties of the First Priority Indenture Trustee under this First Priority Indenture.

104

(e) Immediately after the effectiveness of the appointment of a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee, the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee shall transfer all Property held by it as First Priority Indenture Trustee to the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee, provided, however, that the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee shall be permitted to deduct from any cash to be transferred to the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee an amount up to the amount then due and owing to the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7 of this First Priority Indenture, which amount shall be held and applied by the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee in accordance with this First Priority Indenture and applicable law. To the extent that the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee continues after the effectiveness of the appointment of the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee to hold any Property previously held by the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee as First Priority Indenture Trustee, such Property shall be deemed to be held by the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee as agent for the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee, and the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have legal control over such Property for all purposes, including without limitation for the perfection of any and all liens that the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee may have against such Property. The Company waives any claim that any liens that any First Priority Indenture Trustee may have been granted hereunder are or became unperfected by reason of the resignation, removal, replacement, or appointment of a First Priority Indenture Trustee.

(f) If the appointment of a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee does not become effective within sixty (60) days after delivery in accordance with this Section 6.8 of a notice of the resignation or removal of the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee, then the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee, the Company, or the First Priority Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding First Priority Securities may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee.

(g) If the First Priority Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10, any First Priority Holder of a First Priority Security may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor First Priority Indenture Trustee.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding replacement of the First Priority Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the predecessor First Priority Indenture Trustee with respect to the period prior to the effective date of such removal and shall commence for the benefit of the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee with respect to the period from and after the effective date of the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee’s appointment.

SECTION 6.9. Successor Trustee by Xxxxxx, etc.

If the First Priority Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another entity, the resulting, surviving, or transferee entity without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving, or

105

transferee entity is otherwise eligible hereunder, become and be the successor First Priority Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

The First Priority Indenture Trustee hereunder will at all times be a corporation, bank, or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, and will at all times (i) be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, (ii) be subject to supervision or examination by governmental authorities, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$150,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and (iv) have a corporate trust office in The City of New York. If at any time the First Priority Indenture Trustee will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, it will resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.8. In addition to the foregoing, this First Priority Indenture shall always have a First Priority Indenture Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2), and 310(a)(5). If the First Priority Indenture Trustee is a corporation included in a bank holding company system, then the First Priority Indenture Trustee, independently of the bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(2). The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of TIA Section 310 shall apply to the Company, all First Priority Guarantors, and all other obligors on the First Priority Obligations.

SECTION 6.11. Preferential Collection of Claims.

The First Priority Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as First Priority Indenture Trustee hereunder, shall comply with TIA Section 311. A First Priority Indenture Trustee who has resigned or has been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Amendments, supplements, supplemental indentures, and waivers of this First Priority Indenture relating to Redemption will be effective as to any Redemption only if the consent of the Requisite First Priority Holders is granted before, and not revoked as of, (x) in the case of an Optional Redemption, the date that the applicable Trustee Redemption Notice becomes irrevocable and

(6) make the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on, any First Priority Security payable with anything or in any manner other than as provided for in this First Priority Indenture and the First Priority Securities (including changing the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any First Priority Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable) as in effect on the date hereof;

(7) make the First Priority Securities subordinate in right of payment to any extent or under any circumstances to any other Indebtedness;

109

(8) make any change to any First Priority Guarantee or any Lien of any other First Priority Security Document that would adversely affect the rights of the First Priority Holders;

(10) modify this Section 7.3(b), except to include additional provisions of this First Priority Indenture and/or the First Priority Securities that cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the First Priority Holder of each outstanding First Priority Security affected thereby.

(c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of First Priority Holders under this Section 7.3 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver subject to their approval, but it shall be sufficient if by their consent the required First Priority Holders approve the substance thereof.

(d) After an amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver under this Section 7.3 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the First Priority Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver.

(e) After an amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver under this Section 7.3, or a notation thereof under Section 7.5, becomes effective, it shall bind each First Priority Holder, subject to Section 5.8.

(f) In connection with any amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver under this Article VII, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, offer to any First Priority Holder who consents to such amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver, or offer to all First Priority Holders, consideration for such First Priority Holder’s consent to, or payment to all First Priority Holders in connection with, such amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver.

SECTION 7.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

(a) Until an amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a First Priority Holder is a continuing consent by the First Priority Holder and by every subsequent First Priority Holder of a First Priority Security or portion of a First Priority Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting First Priority

110

Xxxxxx’s First Priority Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any First Priority Security. However, any such First Priority Holder or subsequent First Priority Holder may revoke the consent as to his First Priority Security or portion of his First Priority Security by written notice to the Company or the Person designated by the Company as the Person to whom consents should be sent if such revocation is received by the Company or such Person before the date on which the First Priority Indenture Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate from the Company certifying that the First Priority Holders of the requisite principal amount of First Priority Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver.

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a Record Date for the purpose of determining the First Priority Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver, which Record Date shall be the date so fixed by the Company. If a Record Date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were First Priority Holders at such Record Date, and only those Persons (or their duly designated proxies), shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be First Priority Holders after such Record Date. No consent for which a Record Date has been set shall be valid or effective for more than ninety (90) days after such Record Date.

(c) After an amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every First Priority Holder of a First Priority Security, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses of Section 7.3(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver shall bind only each First Priority Holder of a First Priority Security who has consented to it and every subsequent First Priority Holder of a First Priority Security or portion of a First Priority Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting First Priority Holder’s First Priority Security; provided, however, that in no event shall any amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver affect the operation of Section 5.8.

SECTION 7.5. Notation on or Exchange of First Priority Securities.

If an amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver changes the terms of any First Priority Security, the First Priority Indenture Trustee may require the First Priority Holder of such First Priority Security to deliver it to the First Priority Indenture Trustee or require the First Priority Holder to put an appropriate notation on the First Priority Security. The First Priority Indenture Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the First Priority Security regarding the changed terms, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee, whether or not such a notation is made, shall return the First Priority Security to the First Priority Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the First Priority Indenture Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the First Priority Security shall issue, and the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall authenticate, a new First Priority Security that reflects the changed terms, in which case the prior First Priority Security shall be cancelled in accordance with this First Priority Indenture, and the new First Priority Security shall be delivered upon such cancellation to the applicable First Priority Holder. Any failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new First

111

Priority Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver.

SECTION 7.6. First Priority Indenture Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article VII; provided, however, that the First Priority Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver that affects the First Priority Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, or immunities under this First Priority Indenture. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement, supplemental indenture, or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article VII is authorized or permitted by this First Priority Indenture.

SECTION 7.7. First Priority Indenture Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company.

Any application by the First Priority Indenture Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the First Priority Indenture Trustee under this First Priority Indenture and the date on or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the First Priority Indenture Trustee in accordance with the proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

SECTION 7.8. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed in connection with this First Priority Indenture shall conform as a matter of contract or law to the TIA.

SECTION 7.9. First Priority Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this First Priority Indenture or any First Priority Security, any Person holding a beneficial interest in any First Priority Security as of a date shall qualify hereunder as a First Priority Holder of that First Priority Security, to the extent of its beneficial interest, as of that date, and shall have the benefits hereunder of a First Priority Holder of that First Priority Security and shall be deemed to hold a Certificated First Priority Security, to the extent of its beneficial interest, as of that date, for the purposes of participating in any judicial proceeding regarding that First Priority Security, including without limitation any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, upon providing to the First Priority Indenture Trustee written documentation of its beneficial interest as of that date that is reasonably satisfactory to the First Priority Indenture Trustee. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, documentation of a beneficial interest in a

112

Global First Priority Security will be reasonably satisfactory if it includes (a) a signed, notarized, and (if possible in the applicable jurisdiction) apostilled letter from the Depositary or its nominee that states that the Depositary or its nominee holds the Global First Priority Security, identifies an Agent Member that holds beneficial interests in the Global First Priority Security through the Depositary or its nominee, and identifies the portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Global First Priority Security to which the beneficial interests of the Agent Member relate, (b) a signed, notarized, and (if possible in the applicable jurisdiction) apostilled letter from the Agent Member identified by the Depositary or its nominee that states that the Agent Member holds beneficial interests in the First Priority Securities through the Depositary or its nominee, identifies a Person on behalf of which the Agent Member holds such beneficial interests in the First Priority Securities, and identifies the outstanding principal amount of the First Priority Securities to which such beneficial interests relate (which principal amount must not be greater than the principal amount set forth in the corresponding letter signed by the Depositary or its nominee), and (c) a signed, notarized, and (if possible in the applicable jurisdiction) apostilled letter from the Person identified by the Agent Member that states that the Person holds beneficial interests in the First Priority Securities through the Agent Member who signed the corresponding letter described in clause (b) and identifies the outstanding principal amount of the First Priority Securities to which such beneficial interests relate (which principal amount must be identical to the principal amount set forth in the corresponding letter described in clause (b)).

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, each of the First Priority Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, and irrevocably guarantees, to each First Priority Holder and to the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the First Priority Collateral Trustee and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document, or the obligations of the Company or any other First Priority Guarantor under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document: (x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on the First Priority Securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon Redemption or repurchase, by acceleration, or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the First Priority Securities (and any Additional Amounts related thereto), and (z) the due and punctual payment and performance of all other First Priority Obligations and all other obligations of the Company and all other obligations of the other First Priority Guarantors (including without limitation under the First Priority Guarantees) in, each case, to the First Priority Holders, the First Priority Indenture Trustee, or the First Priority Collateral Trustee under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document (including amounts due the First Priority Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7 hereof), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “First Priority Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal or refinancing of any First Priority Securities or any of such other obligations described in clause (a) of this Section 9.1, the due and punctual payment and performance of all First Priority Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension, renewal, or refinancing, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration, or otherwise. Upon any failure to make payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligations of the Company or any other First Priority Guarantor to the First Priority Holders or the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the First Priority Collateral Trustee or their respective successors and assigns under this First Priority Indenture or under the First Priority Securities or any other First Priority Document, for whatever reason, each First Priority Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. A Default or Event of Default under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document shall constitute an event of default under each and all of the First Priority Guarantees, and shall entitle the First Priority Holders and the First Priority Indenture Trustee to accelerate the obligations of the First Priority Guarantors thereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company may be accelerated hereunder and under the First Priority Securities.

(b) Each of the First Priority Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity, or enforceability of the First Priority Securities, this First Priority Indenture, or any other First Priority Document, the

115

absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any First Priority Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other First Priority Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a First Priority Guarantee is affixed to any First Priority Security or to any particular First Priority Security, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a First Priority Guarantor. Each of the First Priority Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, protest, notice, and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that its First Priority Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the First Priority Obligations and First Priority Guarantee Obligations. The guarantee hereunder by each First Priority Guarantor is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any First Priority Holder or the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the First Priority Collateral Trustee or their respective successors and assigns is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or to any First Priority Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator, or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such First Priority Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such First Priority Guarantor to the First Priority Indenture Trustee or First Priority Collateral Trustee or such First Priority Holder, the guarantee hereunder, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each First Priority Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the First Priority Holders and the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the First Priority Collateral Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 5.2 for the purposes of the guarantee hereunder, notwithstanding any stay, injunction, or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 5.2 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the First Priority Guarantors for the purpose of the guarantee hereunder.

(c) The obligations of each First Priority Guarantor hereunder and under its First Priority Guarantee shall be senior to any and all intercompany obligations of the First Priority Guarantor to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and each First Priority Guarantor and the Company expressly agree that any and all such intercompany obligations are subordinate in all respects, including right of payment, to the obligations of the First Priority Guarantor hereunder and under its First Priority Guarantee.

SECTION 9.2. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each First Priority Guarantor, and by its acceptance of First Priority Securities, each First Priority Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee of such First Priority Guarantor hereunder does not and shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the United States Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the United States Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, or any similar Mexican or U.S. federal or state law to the extent applicable to the guarantee hereunder or to any First Priority Guarantor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Holders, and each of the First Priority Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each First Priority Guarantor under this Article IX shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after

116

giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such First Priority Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from, or payments made by or on behalf of any other First Priority Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other First Priority Guarantor under this Article IX, result in the obligations of such First Priority Guarantor under its guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 9.3. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee Acknowledgement.

(a) To further evidence its guarantee set forth in Section 9.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a Guarantee Acknowledgement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, shall be endorsed on and affixed to each First Priority Security authenticated and delivered by the First Priority Indenture Trustee. Such Guarantee Acknowledgement shall be executed on behalf of each First Priority Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of two officers or other persons duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the First Priority Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any guarantee under this Article IX shall not be affected by the fact that a Guarantee Acknowledgement is not affixed to any First Priority Security or to any particular First Priority Security.

(b) Each of the First Priority Guarantors hereby agrees that its guarantee set forth in Section 9.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each First Priority Security a Guarantee Acknowledgement.

(c) If an officer of a First Priority Guarantor whose signature is on this First Priority Indenture or any First Priority Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time that the First Priority Indenture Trustee authenticates the First Priority Security on which a First Priority Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such First Priority Guarantor’s First Priority Guarantee shall nevertheless be valid.

(d) The delivery of any First Priority Security by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any guarantee set forth in this First Priority Indenture on behalf of each First Priority Guarantor.

SECTION 9.4. Release of a First Priority Guarantor.

(a) The guarantee of a First Priority Guarantor hereunder and that First Priority Guarantor’s First Priority Guarantee will be released only:

(i)

upon the sale or disposition (including by way of merger or consolidation), to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, of all the Capital Stock of that First Priority Guarantor held by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or of all substantially all of the assets of that First Priority Guarantor; provided that such sale or other disposition is permitted by and made in accordance with this First Priority Indenture, including without limitation Article III hereof; or

117

(ii)

if the Company designates such First Priority Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this First Priority Indenture;

provided, however, in either case that any such termination shall occur only to the extent that all obligations of such First Priority Guarantor under all of its guarantees of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Indebtedness of any other First Priority Guarantor shall also terminate upon such release and none of the First Priority Guarantor’s Capital Stock or other equity interests are or shall be pledged for the benefit of any holder of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary.

(b) The First Priority Trustee shall execute an appropriate instrument prepared by the Company evidencing the release of a First Priority Guarantor from its obligations under its guarantee hereunder and its First Priority Guarantee upon receipt of a request by the Company or such First Priority Guarantor accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 9.5; provided, however, that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates of the Company.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 9.4 shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a First Priority Guarantor with or into the Company or another First Priority Guarantor or shall prevent any Disposition of the property of a First Priority Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another First Priority Guarantor so long as such consolidation, merger, or Disposition is otherwise permitted under this First Priority Indenture.

SECTION 9.5. Waiver of Subrogation. Until this First Priority Indenture and all First Priority Obligations are discharged and all of the First Priority Securities are discharged and paid in full, each First Priority Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company or any other First Priority Guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance, or enforcement of the Company’s or such other First Priority Guarantor’s obligations under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document, and such First Priority Guarantor’s obligations under the guarantee hereunder and the First Priority Guarantee in any such instance. The immediately preceding sentence shall include, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Collateral Trustee, or any First Priority Holders against the Company or any other First Priority Guarantor that a First Priority Guarantor may have, whether or not such claim, remedy, or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute, common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company or any other First Priority Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any First Priority Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Collateral Trustee, or the First Priority Holders under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Documents, or any other First Priority Documents, or any other First Priority Obligations, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such First Priority Guarantor for the benefit of, and

118

held in trust for the benefit of, the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Collateral Trustee, or the First Priority Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the First Priority Indenture Trustee for the benefit of itself or the First Priority Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the First Priority Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this First Priority Indenture. Each First Priority Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this First Priority Indenture and the other First Priority Documents and that the waiver set forth in this Section 9.5 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 9.6. Immediate Payment. Each First Priority Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the First Priority Indenture Trustee on behalf of the First Priority Holders of all First Priority Guarantee Obligations and all obligations under First Priority Guarantees owing or payable to the respective First Priority Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor by the First Priority Indenture Trustee to such First Priority Guarantor in writing, provided, however, that this Section 9.6 does not limit the waiver of demand by each First priority Guarantor as set forth in Section 9.1(b).

SECTION 9.7. No Set-Off. Each payment to be made by a First Priority Guarantor hereunder or under a First Priority Guarantee shall be made in U.S. Dollars without set-off, counterclaim, reduction, or diminution of any kind or nature, and shall be accompanied by payment of all Additional Amounts, if any.

SECTION 9.8. Guarantee Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each First Priority Guarantor hereunder and under each First Priority Guarantee are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by each First Priority Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable from such First Priority Guarantor on the basis of a guarantee hereunder or a First Priority Guarantee shall be recoverable from such First Priority Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof.

SECTION 9.9. Guarantee Obligations Continuing. The obligations of each First Priority Guarantor hereunder and under each First Priority Guarantee shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each First Priority Guarantor agrees with the First Priority Indenture Trustee that it will from time to time deliver to the First Priority Indenture Trustee and First Priority Collateral Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the First Priority Indenture Trustee may advise and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a First Priority Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the First Priority Indenture Trustee and, to the extent consistent with the First Priority Collateral Trust Agreement, the First Priority Collateral Trustee the attorney and agent of such First Priority Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the First Priority Indenture Trustee or, as applicable, the First Priority Collateral Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such First Priority Guarantor hereunder.

119

SECTION 9.10. Guarantee Obligations Not Reduced. The obligations of each First Priority Guarantor hereunder and under each First Priority Guarantee shall not be satisfied, reduced, or discharged solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this First Priority Indenture and the First Priority Obligations pursuant to Section 10.15 be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with this First Priority Indenture or the First Priority Securities or any other First Priority Document.

SECTION 9.11. Guarantee Obligations Reinstated. The obligations of each First Priority Guarantor hereunder and under each First Priority Guarantee shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any First Priority Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of any First Priority Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Collateral Trustee, or any of the First Priority Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, or similar proceeding under Bankruptcy Law or any other law regarding the Company or any First Priority Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Company or any other First Priority Guarantor is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, or similar proceeding under Bankruptcy Law or any other law regarding the Company or such First Priority Guarantor, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each First Priority Guarantor as provided herein.

SECTION 9.12. Guarantee Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of each First Priority Guarantor hereunder and under each First Priority Guarantee shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by an act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon, or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any First Priority Guarantor or the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Collateral Trustee, or any of the First Priority Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any First Priority Guarantor hereunder or under any First Priority Guarantee or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any First Priority Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or under any First Priority Guarantee or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Collateral Trustee, or any of the First Priority Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation:

	(i)		any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity, or other circumstances relating to the Company or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up, or other proceeding involving or affecting the Company, any First Priority Guarantor, or any other Person;

	(ii)		any irregularity, defect, unenforceability, or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company, any First Priority Guarantor, or any other Person under this First Priority Indenture, the First

120

			Priority Securities, any other First Priority Document, or any other document or instrument;

	(iii)		any failure of the Company or any other First Priority Guarantor, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document, or any failure to give notice hereunder or under any other First Priority Document to any First Priority Guarantor;

	(iv)		the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Company, any First Priority Guarantor, or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

	(v)		the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges, or other indulgences to the Company, any First Priority Guarantor, or any other Person;

	(vi)		any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the First Priority Securities or other First Priority Obligations, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement, or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the First Priority Securities or this First Priority Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest (or Additional Amounts) on any of the First Priority Securities;

	(vii)		any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure, or constitution of the Company or any First Priority Guarantor;

	(viii)		any merger or amalgamation of the Company or any First Priority Guarantor with any Person or Persons;

	(ix)		the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations, or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any Governmental Authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce, or otherwise affect, any of the First Priority Guarantee Obligations or the obligations of any First Priority Guarantor under any First Priority Guarantee; and

	(x)		any other circumstance, including release of a First Priority Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.4 (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Company under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document or any other First Priority Obligation or of a First Priority Guarantor in respect of its guarantee hereunder or under its respective First Priority Guarantee.

121

SECTION 9.13. Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 9.1, each First Priority Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any First Priority Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the First Priority Holders upon the obligations of any First Priority Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the First Priority Guarantee Obligations or obligations of a First Priority Guarantor under any First Priority Guarantee, or other notice or formalities to the Company or any First Priority Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

SECTION 9.14. No Obligation To Take Action Against the Company. Neither the First Priority Indenture Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Company, any First Priority Guarantor, or any other Person or any Property of the Company or any other Person before the First Priority Indenture Trustee or such other Person is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all First Priority Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their First Priority Guarantees or under this First Priority Indenture.

SECTION 9.15. Dealing with the Company and Others. The First Priority Holders and the First Priority Indenture Trustee (subject to the other provisions of this First Priority Indenture) may, and, to the extent permitted under the First Priority Collateral Trust Agreement, the First Priority Collateral Trustee may, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any First Priority Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any First Priority Guarantor:

	(iv)		accept compromises or arrangements from the Company or any other Person;

	(v)		apply all monies at any time received from the Company or any other Person or from any security upon such part of the First Priority Guarantee Obligations or other obligations hereunder of the First Priority Guarantor as the First Priority Holders may see fit or change any such application in

122

			whole or in part from time to time as the First Priority Holders may see fit; and

	(vi)		otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all other Persons and any security as the First Priority Holders or the First Priority Indenture Trustee or First Priority Collateral Trustee may see fit.

SECTION 9.16. Default and Enforcement. If any First Priority Guarantor fails to pay any amount hereunder or under any First Priority Guarantee, the First Priority Indenture Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the First Priority Guarantor’s obligations hereunder and under any First Priority Guarantee by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such First Priority Guarantor all amounts due.

SECTION 9.19. No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No First Priority Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a First Priority Guarantor under any other agreement, including, without limitation, this First Priority Indenture and any First Priority Security. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the First Priority Indenture Trustee, First Priority Collateral Trustee, or the First Priority Holders, any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, or any other First Priority Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers, and privileges in the First Priority Guarantees and under this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, each other First Priority Document, and any other document or instrument between a First Priority Guarantor and the Company or between a First Priority Guarantor and the First Priority Indenture Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers, and privilege provided by law.

SECTION 9.20. Survival of Guarantee Obligations. The obligations of each First Priority Guarantor hereunder shall survive the payment in full of the obligations of such First Priority Guarantor under its First Priority Guarantee and each other First Priority Guarantee and shall be enforceable against such First Priority Guarantor without regard to and without

giving effect to any defense, right of offset, or counterclaim available to or which may be asserted by the Company or any other First Priority Guarantor.

SECTION 9.21. Guarantee in Addition to Other Guarantee Obligations. The obligations of each First Priority Guarantor under its First Priority Guarantee and this First Priority Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority Collateral Trustee, and to any of the First Priority Holders in relation to this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, and each other First Priority Document and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

SECTION 9.22. Successors and Assigns. Each First Priority Guarantee and all of the obligations of each First Priority Guarantor hereunder shall be binding upon each First Priority Guarantor and inure to the benefit of the First Priority Indenture Trustee and First Priority Collateral Trustee and the First Priority Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no First Priority Guarantor may assign any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the First Priority Indenture Trustee.

Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the First Priority Securities.

By the execution and delivery of this First Priority Indenture, each of the Company and the First Priority Guarantors (i) designates and appoints, and acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, designated and appointed CT Corporation System, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit, action, or proceeding, including without limitation any enforcement, collection, insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, with respect to, arising out of, or relating to, the First Priority Securities or this First Priority Indenture or any other First Priority Document, whether commenced by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, one or more First Priority Holders, one or more holders of beneficial interests in the First Priority Securities, or any other interested party, or an action for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, and acknowledges that CT Corporation System has accepted such designation and (ii) agrees that service of process upon CT Corporation System at the foregoing address shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or any First Priority Guarantor, as the case may be, in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the First Priority Guarantors further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of CT Corporation System in full force and effect so long as this First Priority Indenture shall be in full force and effect; provided, however, that each of the Company and the First Priority Guarantors may and shall (to the extent CT Corporation System ceases to be able to be served on the basis contemplated herein), by written notice to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, designate such additional or alternative agents for service of process under this Section 10.13 that (i) maintains an office located in The City of New York in the State of New York, (ii) are either (x) counsel for the Company or (y) a corporate service company which acts as agent for service of process for other persons in the ordinary course of its business and (iii) agrees in writing, a copy of which is delivered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee, to act as agent for service of process in accordance with this Section 10.13. Such notice shall identify the name of such agent for process and the address of such agent for process in The City of New York, State of New York. Upon the request of any First Priority Holder, the First Priority Indenture Trustee shall deliver such information to such First Priority Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall, at all times, be at least one agent for service of process for each of the Company and the First Priority Guarantors appointed and acting in accordance with this Section 10.13.

(a) To the extent that the Company or any First Priority Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution, or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each of the Company and the First Priority Guarantors hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under

128

this First Priority Indenture, the First Priority Securities, and the other First Priority Documents, to the extent permitted by law.

	(b)		Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

	(i)		submits for itself and its Property in any suit, action, or proceeding, including without limitation any enforcement, collection, insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, with respect to, arising out of, or relating to, the First Priority Securities or this First Priority Indenture or any other First Priority Document, whether commenced by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, one or more First Priority Holders, one or more holders of beneficial interests in the First Priority Securities, or any other interested party, or an action for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, appellate courts from any thereof and to the courts of its own corporate domicile in respect of actions brought against it as a defendant and waives any other forum or court that takes jurisdiction by reason of the location of such party’s present or future assets or otherwise;

	(ii)		consents that any suit, action, or proceeding, including without limitation any enforcement, collection, insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, with respect to, arising out of, or relating to, the First Priority Securities or this First Priority Indenture or any other First Priority Document, whether commenced by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, one or more First Priority Holders, one or more holders of beneficial interests in the First Priority Securities, or any other interested party, or an action for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, may be brought in the courts set forth in Section 10.13(c)(i) and waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, trial by jury and any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such suit, action, or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court, and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

	(iii)		agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the agent for service of process described above; and

	(iv)		agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 10.14. Currency of Account.

129

(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the U.S. dollar is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company or the First Priority Guarantors under or in connection with the First Priority Securities and all other First Priority Obligations, including damages, and, where no express indication of currency is given in any First Priority Document, the currency shall be deemed to be U.S. dollars. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Company, any First Priority Guarantor or otherwise) by any First Priority Holder of the First Priority Securities in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company or the First Priority Guarantors shall only constitute a discharge to the Company and the First Priority Guarantors to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If such U.S. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any First Priority Security, the Company and the First Priority Guarantors, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the recipient against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the Company and the First Priority Guarantors shall, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For purposes of this Section 10.14, it will be sufficient for the First Priority Holder to certify (indicating the source of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. dollars been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable). If the U.S. dollar amount so purchased is greater than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any First Priority Security, the recipient agrees to pay to the Company or the First Priority Guarantors, as the case may be, an amount equal to the excess of such U.S. dollar amount so purchased over the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any First Priority Security. These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of each of the Company and the First Priority Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any First Priority Holder of the First Priority Securities and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any First Priority Security, provided, however, that these indemnities shall be part of the First Priority Obligations and shall be secured by the First Priority Collateral in the same manner and to the same extent as all other First Priority Obligations.

(b) The Company and each First Priority Guarantor covenants and agrees that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the First Priority Obligations and all First Priority Documents:

(i)

If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in any other currency (the “Base Currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which the

130

			judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine); and

	(ii)		If there is change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or an order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Company will pay such additional (or, as the case may be, such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in the Base Currency originally due.

	(iii)		In the event of the winding-up of the Company at any time while any amount or damages owing under the First Priority Documents, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Company shall indemnify and hold the First Priority Holders and the First Priority Indenture Trustee and First Priority Collateral Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (1) the date as of which the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount due or contingently due under the First Priority Documents is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (2) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this subsection (b)(iii), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Company shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Company may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.

	(iv)		The obligations contained in this Section 10.14(b) shall constitute separate and independent obligations from the other First Priority Obligations, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Company, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Person from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Company for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Company or the liquidator or otherwise or any of them. In the case of subsection (b)(iii) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution.

	(v)		For the purposes of this Section 10.14, the term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by Reuters at 10:00 a.m. (New York

131

City time) for spot purchases of the Base Currency with the Judgment Currency other than the Base Currency referred to in subsections (b) (i) and (b) (ii) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable.

SECTION 10.15. Satisfaction and Discharge.

(a) The First Priority Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the First Priority Securities, as expressly provided for in this First Priority Indenture) as to all outstanding First Priority Securities when all of the following have occurred: (i) either (a) all the First Priority Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed First Priority Securities which have been replaced or paid and First Priority Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the First Priority Indenture Trustee) have been delivered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee for cancellation; or (b) all First Priority Securities not theretofore delivered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the First Priority Indenture Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the First Priority Securities not theretofore delivered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the First Priority Securities to the date of payment together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the First Priority Indenture Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof; (ii) the Company has paid all First Priority Obligations and other sums payable under this First Priority Indenture by the Company; and (iii) the Company has delivered to the First Priority Indenture Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this First Priority Indenture have been complied with.

(b) All monies deposited with the First Priority Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 10.15(a) shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the First Priority Securities and this First Priority Indenture, for the payment or redemption of all sums due and to become due in accordance with this First Priority Indenture and any other First Priority Documents; but such monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or by applicable law.

SECTION 10.16. TIA Controls.

If any provision of this First Priority Indenture limits, qualifies, or conflicts with another provision which is required or deemed to be included in this First Priority Indenture by the TIA, such required or deemed provision shall control.

SECTION 10.17. USA PATRIOT Act

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “USA Patriot Act”), the First Priority Indenture Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain,

132

verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with HSBC Bank USA, National Association. The parties to this First Priority Indenture agree that they will provide the First Priority Indenture Trustee with such information as it may reasonably request in order for the First Priority Indenture Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF FIRST PRIORITY NOTE DUE 2011]

1. Interest.

(a) SATÉLITES MEXICANOS, S.A. DE C.V., a company organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successors under the First Priority Indenture defined in paragraph 5 below), promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this First Priority Security at the Eurodollar Rate and Additional Amounts, if any.

(b) The Company will pay interest (including any Additional Amounts) on each Interest Payment Date. Interest on this First Priority Security will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on this First Priority Security, from and including the date of issuance.

2. Determination of Interest Rate.

(a) Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(i) This First Priority Security shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day (in the manner set forth in the definitions of Eurodollar Rate and Eurodollar Base Rate in the First Priority Indenture) plus eight and three-quarters percent (8.75%).

(ii) (x) If all or a portion of the principal amount of this First Priority Security shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, at redemption, by acceleration or otherwise), this First Priority Security shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to Paragraph 2(a)(i) plus 2% and (y) if all or a portion of any interest payable hereon or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to Paragraph 2(a)(i) plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (x) and (y) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after, to the extent permitted by applicable law, as before judgment).

(iii) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided, however, that interest accruing pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of this Paragraph 2(b) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(iv) Interest payable pursuant to this First Priority Security shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b) Computation of Interest and Fees. Calculations of interest, fees, and other amounts under this First Priority Security shall be made by the First Priority Indenture Trustee. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the First Priority Holders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Each determination of an interest rate by the First Priority Indenture Trustee pursuant to any provision of this First Priority

A - 4

Security or the First Priority Indenture shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the First Priority Holders in the absence of manifest error. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall, at the request of the Company or the Requisite First Priority Holders, deliver to the Company and the First Priority Holders a statement showing any quotations used by the First Priority Indenture Trustee in determining any interest rate. Any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The First Priority Indenture Trustee shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the First Priority Holders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(c) Payments. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the due date thereof to the Paying Agent, for the account of the First Priority Holders, in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds. The Paying Agent shall distribute such payments to the First Priority Holders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Requirements of Law. (i) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any First Priority Holder with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Issue Date:

(A) shall subject any First Priority Holder to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this First Priority Security, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such First Priority Holder in respect thereof;

(B) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such First Priority Holder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such First Priority Holder, by an amount which such First Priority Holder deems to be material, of continuing or maintaining this First Priority Security, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such First Priority Holder, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such First Priority Holder for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any First Priority Holder becomes entitled to claim any additional

A - 5

amounts pursuant to this Paragraph 2(d)(i), then it shall promptly notify the Company (with a copy to the First Priority Indenture Trustee) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(ii) If any First Priority Holder shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such First Priority Holder or any corporation controlling such First Priority Holder with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such First Priority Holder’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under the First Priority Indenture to a level below that which such First Priority Holder or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such First Priority Holder’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such First Priority Holder to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such First Priority Holder to the Company (with a copy to the First Priority Indenture Trustee) of a written request therefor, the Company shall pay to such First Priority Holder such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such First Priority Holder for such reduction.

(iii) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Paragraph 2(d) submitted by any First Priority Holder to the Company (with a copy to the First Priority Indenture Trustee) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Paragraph 2(d) shall survive the maturity or redemption, as the case may be, of this First Priority Security and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(e) Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify each First Priority Holder and to hold each First Priority Holder harmless from any loss or expense which such First Priority Holder may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in making any redemption after the Company has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of the First Priority Indenture or (b) the redemption or payment of this First Priority Security on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such First Priority Security provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such First Priority Holder) which would have accrued to such First Priority Holder on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Paragraph 2(e) submitted to the Company by any First Priority Holder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of the First Priority Indenture and the payment of this First Priority Security.

3. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest (including any Additional Amounts on this First Priority Security (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the First Priority

A - 6

Holders at the close of business on the March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date(s).

When a successor to the Company or a First Priority Guarantor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the First Priority Securities and the First Priority Indenture in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Indenture and becomes a permitted successor thereunder, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.

18. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization), then, subject to the First Priority Collateral Trust Agreement, in every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the Requisite First Priority Holders may declare all the First Priority Securities to be due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the First Priority Indenture. First Priority Holders may not enforce the First Priority Indenture or the First Priority Securities except as provided in the First Priority Indenture.
