Where any person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated, with proper identification of each matter covered therein, and form one instrument.

Section 1.05. Acts of Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution (as provided below in subsection (b) of this Section 1.05) of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security or the Holder of every Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof to the same extent as the original Holder, in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Company or any Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 1.06. Notices, etc., to the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

(a) the Trustee by any Holder, the Principal Paying Agent or by the Company or any Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed, in writing (including by facsimile), to or with the Trustee at The Bank of New York, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00 Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Global Finance Unit (Facsimile No. (000) 000-0000), or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Holders, the Principal Paying Agent, the Company and the Guarantors by the Trustee;

(b) the Principal Paying Agent by the Trustee, the Company or any Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed, in writing (including by facsimile), to or with the Principal Paying Agent at The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd, 00-00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX, England, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx/Xxxx Xxxxxx, Securities Services (Facsimile No. x00 000 000 0000), or at any other address previously furnished in writing to Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors by the Principal Paying Agent;

(c) the Company by the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at Rua Verbo Divino, 1356, São Paulo-SP, 00000-000, Xxxxxx, Attention: Chief Legal Officer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent or any Holder by the Company; or

Paulo-SP, 00000-000, Xxxxxx, Attention: Chief Legal Officer, or any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent or any Holder by such Guarantor.

Section 1.07. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided herein) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice when mailed to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder whether or not actually received by such Holder. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this Indenture, then any method of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Each Holder, by accepting any of the Securities, waives and releases all such liability. Such waivers and releases are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

Section 1.14. Independence of Covenants.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

By the execution and delivery of this Indenture or any amendment or supplement hereto, each of the Company and each Guarantor, (a) acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, designated and appointed CT Corporation System, currently located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its authorized agent, upon which process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to, arising out of, or relating to, the Securities and this Indenture, that may be instituted in any United States Federal or state court in the State of New York, The City of New York, the Borough of Manhattan, or brought under Federal or state securities laws or brought by the Trustee (whether in its individual capacity or in its capacity as Trustee hereunder), and acknowledges that CT Corporation System has accepted such designation (which appointment the Company hereby (i) acknowledges was unconditional and (ii) agrees not to revoke), (b) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (c) agrees that service of process upon CT Corporation System shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or any such Guarantor, as the case may be, in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company and each Guarantor further agree 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 Indenture shall be in full force and effect; provided that the Company and each Guarantor 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 Trustee, designate such additional or alternative agent or agents for service of process under this Section 1.17 that (i) maintains an office located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in the State of New York, (ii) are either (x) counsel for the Company and the Guarantors 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 to act as agent for service of process in accordance with this Section 1.17. Such notice shall identify the name of such agent for process and the address of such agent for process in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York. Upon the request of any Holder, the Trustee shall deliver such information to such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall, at all times, be at least one agent for service of process for the Company and the Guarantors appointed and acting in accordance with this Section 1.17.

To the extent that the Company or any 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, the Company and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture and the Securities, to the extent permitted by law.

Section 1.18. Currency of Account; Conversion of Currency; Foreign Exchange Restrictions.

(a) Subject to the terms of Section 3.15 hereof, U.S. dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company and the Guarantors under or in connection with the Securities or this Indenture, including damages. 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 and the Guarantors or otherwise) by the Trustee or any Holder of the Securities in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company and the Guarantors shall only constitute a discharge to the Company and the Guarantors to the extent of the 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). Unless the relevant Holder has elected to receive payment, in whole or in part, in Brazil in the lawful currency of Brazil following the occurrence of a Dollar Constraint in accordance with Section 3.15, if that dollar amount is less than the dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the Securities, the Company and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result as set forth in this Section 1.18. In any event, the Company and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 1.18, it will be sufficient for the Trustee or the Holder of a Security to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of dollars been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). The indemnities set forth in this Section 1.18 constitute separate and independent obligations from other obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder of the 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 the Securities.

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 3.15, the Company and each Guarantor covenants and agrees that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Securities and this Indenture:

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

(B) If there is a 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 or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, 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.

(ii) In the event of the winding-up of the Company or any Guarantor at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Securities and this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, shall indemnify and hold the Holders and the 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 Securities and this Indenture (other than under this Subsection (b)(ii)) 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)(ii), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, 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 or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.

(iii) The obligations contained in Subsections (a), (b)(i)(B), and (b)(ii) of this Section 1.18 shall constitute separate and independent obligations from the other Indenture Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Company and each Guarantor, shall apply irrespective of any

waiver or extension granted by any Holder or the Trustee or either of them 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 or any Guarantor for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under Subsection (b)(ii) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Company or the relevant Guarantor or the liquidator or otherwise or any of them. In the case of Subsection (b)(ii) 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.

(iv) The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by Reuters at 10:00 a.m. (New York 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.

(c) In the event that on any payment date in respect of the Securities, there exists any restrictions of access to the Brazilian foreign exchange market that does not constitute a Dollar Constraint, the Company and each Guarantor agree to pay all amounts payable under the Securities in the currency of the Securities by means of any legal procedure existing in Brazil (except commencing legal proceedings against the Central Bank of Brazil), on any due date for payment under the Securities, for the purchase of the currency of such Securities. All costs and taxes payable in connection with the procedures referred to in this Section 1.18 shall be borne by the Company and the Guarantors.

Section 1.19. Representations and Warranties in Common Terms Agreement.

The Company, Net and the Restricted Subsidiaries hereby repeat for the benefit of the Holders each of the representations and warranties made by the Company, Net and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Common Terms Agreement.

Section 1.20. Trust Indenture Act.

Although this Indenture is not, and is not expected to be, qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, provisions of this Indenture that refer to the Trust Indenture Act, other than the provisions of Article Ten of this Indenture, shall be interpreted as through this Indenture were qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required or

deemed to be included in this Indenture by, or is otherwise governed by, any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such other provision shall control; and if any provision hereof otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act shall control unless otherwise provided herein.

Section 2.03. Form of Reverse of Security.

The form of the reverse of the Securities shall be substantially as follows:

1. Indenture. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its [7.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2009] [Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009] [NOTE: DELETE AS APPLICABLE] (herein called the “Securities”), limited (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture referred to below) in aggregate principal amount to [NOTE: INSERT IF 7.0% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2009] U.S.$32,494,427]] [NOTE: INSERT IF SENIOR SECURED FLOATING RATE NOTES DUE 2009] U.S.$9,683,910], which may be issued under an indenture (herein called the “Indenture”) dated as of March 22, 2005, among the Company, the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the Guarantors and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

All capitalized terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company or any Guarantor,

which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

2. Guarantees. This Security is initially entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

3. Optional Prepayment. The Company, or any Person designated by the Company, may prepay Securities at any time in an aggregate principal amount of not less than U.S.$1,000,000 or integral multiples of U.S.$500,000 in excess thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment.

4. Mandatory Prepayment.

(a) Excess Cash Flow. On June 15, 2006, and on June 15 of each following year, the Company shall prepay Securities in a principal amount equal to the product of (i) the Prepayment Percentage multiplied by (ii) the Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount for the preceding fiscal year, if any. On each such date on which such a prepayment is to be made, the Company shall provide the Trustee with a notice of prepayment of Securities setting forth the amount of such prepayment.

(b) Senior Secured Indebtedness. No fewer than five Business Days prior to the voluntary prepayment of, voluntary redemption of, voluntary repurchase of, or voluntary purchase of a participation in, any Senior Secured Indebtedness (other than the Securities), the Company shall provide the Trustee with a notice of prepayment of Securities in a principal amount equal to the product of (i) the Prior Prepayment Percentage multiplied by (ii) the principal amount of such prepayment, redemption, repurchase, or purchase of a participation.

(c) Additional Indebtedness. Within five Business Days after the Incurrence of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness, except for Refinancing Indebtedness the first time that it is Incurred in respect of Senior Secured Indebtedness), the Company shall provide the Trustee with a notice of prepayment of Securities in a principal amount equal to the product of (i) 80% multiplied by (ii) the product of (A) the Prepayment Percentage multiplied by (B) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Indebtedness Incurred or issued by Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary.

(d) Equity Issuances. Within five Business Days after the receipt of the payment therefor, if the average price per share received by Net for the sale of Equity Interests of Net issued to consummate the Restructuring (the “Closing Equity Issuance”) exceeds R$0.35, the Company shall provide the Trustee with a notice of prepayment of

Securities in a principal amount equal to the product of (i) the Prepayment Percentage multiplied by (ii) the Excess Proceeds of the Closing Equity Issuance.

Within five Business Days after the occurrence of the issuance of Equity Interests of Net (other than the Closing Equity Issuance) by Net, the Company shall provide the Trustee with a notice of prepayment of Securities in a principal amount equal to the product of (i) 70% multiplied by (ii) the Prepayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds of the sale of such Equity Interests of Net by Net (other than the Closing Equity Issuance). If, on the date immediately preceding an Equity Issuance, the cash and Cash Equivalents of Net, the Company and the other Restricted Subsidiaries on such date is less than the Minimum Cash Balance, the Net Cash Proceeds of such Equity Issuance shall be deemed to be reduced by the difference between the Minimum Cash Balance and the cash and Cash Equivalents of Net, the Company and the other Restricted Subsidiaries on such date.

(i) Asset Sales. Within 60 days after the date of an Asset Sale permitted pursuant to Section 10.27, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a notice of prepayment of securities in a principal amount equal to the product of:

(A) the Prepayment Percentage multiplied by

(B) the lesser of:

(1) 80% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale; and

(2) the greater of:

(I) 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds; and

(II) such Net Cash Proceeds minus any portion thereof that shall have been applied to make Capital Expenditures.

5. Notice of Prepayments; Application of Prepayment Amounts. Any written notice of a prepayment from the Company to the Trustee shall specify the date of such prepayment to Holders, but in no event shall the date of such prepayment (other than the date of any prepayment to be made in accordance with Section 4(a) above) be less than five Business Days or more than 30 Business Days after such prepayment notice has been delivered to the Trustee. The prepayment amount specified in any written notice of prepayment shall become due and payable on the date specified in such notice. Prepayments shall be applied first to the last scheduled principal repayment of the Securities. From and after any Prepayment Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of the Securities prepaid on such Prepayment Date. All

payments in respect of the Securities are subject to deferral pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.14 and 3.15 of the Indenture.

6. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default under the Indenture include, among others: (a) subject to the terms of Sections 3.14 and 3.15 thereof, which may excuse the failure to make a payment, default in the payment of principal of any Security when due (whether at maturity, on any payment date, upon prepayment in connection with a mandatory prepayment, or otherwise); (b) subject to the terms of Sections 3.14 and 3.15, default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on any Security; (c) any failure by Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 30 days after notice with any of its obligations under certain negative covenants; (d) failure by Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to perform or comply with any other covenants or agreements of Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary under the Indenture or Securities and such default continues unremedied for 45 days after Net or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary has actual knowledge or the Trustee has given written notice thereof to the Company; (e) failure by Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to pay any principal, premium or interest on any Debt Instrument (other than under the Indenture and the Securities issued thereunder, including this Security) when the same becomes due and payable or if any other event shall occur or condition exist under any Debt Instrument (other than under the Indenture and the Securities issued thereunder, including this Security), if the effect of such event or condition, after the lapse or expiration of any grace period applicable thereto, is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of the Indebtedness evidenced by such Debt Instrument and such grace period has lapsed or expired, or any such Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity; (f) failure by Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to pay any principal of, premium or interest on or any other amount payable in respect of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities issued pursuant to the Indenture, including this Security), or if any other event shall occur or condition exist under any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities issued pursuant to the Indenture, including this Security), if the effect of such event or condition, after the lapse or expiration of any grace period or cure period applicable thereto, is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of the Indebtedness evidenced thereby, and such grace period or cure has lapsed or expired, or any such Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity, provided, in each case, that the aggregate principal amount of such indebtedness exceeds R$30 million (as such amount is increased annually by the IGP-M Adjustment, beginning January 1, 2004), or its equivalent in another currency or currencies (calculated, in the case of Indebtedness denominated in dollars, using the Exchange Rate in effect on the date of occurrence of such failure or other event); (g) the entry of judgments for the payment of money against Net, the Company and/or any other Restricted Subsidiaries either individually or in the aggregate exceeding R$30 million (as such amount is increased annually by the IGP-M Adjustment, beginning January 1, 2004), or its equivalent in another currency or

currencies (calculated, in the case of any judgment denominated in dollars, using the Exchange Rate in effect on the date of the entry of such judgment), which is not discharged, or bonded or insured by a third Person and with respect to which a period of 30 consecutive days has passed during which a stay of enforcement, by reason of a pending appeal or right of appeal, the posting of a guarantee or bond or otherwise, has not been in effect; (h) any bankruptcy, concordata, intervenção, insolvency or similar proceeding instituted by or against Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiaries that is not fully secured by a depósito elisivo; (i) all or a substantial part of the assets of Net, the Company and the other Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are condemned, seized, expropriated, nationalized or otherwise appropriated, or custody of such assets is assumed by any Brazilian governmental authority or court or other Person acting under the authority of the Brazilian government and such default is not remedied within 60 days after it occurs; (j) any Guarantee of the Securities by a Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void or any Guarantor fails to comply with its obligations under such Guarantee or denies that it has any further liability under such Guarantee or gives notice to that effect (other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release of any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Securities in accordance with the Indenture); (k) Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary defaults in its obligations under the Security Documents pursuant to their respective terms and such default remains unremedied after the expiration of any grace period specified therein; (l) either (i) any Transaction Document, or any part of a Transaction Document, ceases to be in full force and effect or binding and enforceable against Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary or admissible in evidence in the courts of Brazil, or it becomes unlawful for Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to perform its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (ii) Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary contests the enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or denies that it has liability under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; (m) subject to the terms of Section 3.15, which may permit the Company to make a payment in reais or to defer payment, any inability of Net, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiaries to receive or remit U.S. Dollars necessary to pay obligations under the Securities or the Indenture which results from (i) any law, regulation, directive, communication or action imposed, issued or taken by the government of Brazil, the Central Bank of Brazil or any competent governmental authority in Brazil imposing foreign exchange restrictions, (ii) any declaration of a banking moratorium or suspension of payments by banks in Brazil or (iii) any war, civil strife or other similar events or escalation thereof in which Brazil is involved, which, in any case, will have the effect of prohibiting, preventing or delaying the payments in U.S. Dollars to the Holders (any such event or occurrence, a “Dollar Constraint”); (n) a Change of Control; and (o) any representation or warranty made by Net or any other Restricted Subsidiary in the Intercreditor Agreement or the Common Terms Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no default, event of default, or judgments under or relating to Nonparticipating Debt shall constitute an Event of Default.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall, upon the request of Holders holding not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, declare the principal amount of all of the Securities and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon immediately due and payable; provided that, if an Event of Default under Sections 5.01(i), (j), (k) or (l) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, the principal amount of all of the Securities and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities shall, without any notice to the Company or any other act by the Trustee or any Holder, be accelerated and immediately due and payable. Upon any such declaration of acceleration, the principal of the Securities accelerated and the interest accrued and unpaid on the Securities and all other amounts payable with respect to the Securities shall be immediately due and payable. If the Event of Default or Events of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration is cured following such declaration, the declaration may be rescinded by Holders holding a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

Holders holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction (a) that conflicts with law or the Indenture, (b) that the Trustee determines in good faith may involve the Trustee in personal liability, (c) in respect of which the Trustee reasonably believes it will not be adequately indemnified against the costs, expenses or liabilities which might be incurred or (d) that may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not taking part in the direction; and the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any direction received from Holders.

7. Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions (which provisions apply to this Security) for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors on this Security upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

8. Amendments and Waivers. At any time, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or this Security for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, (a) providing for the succession of another Person to the Company or the Guarantor in compliance with the terms of the Indenture and the assumption of any such Person to the covenants of the Company or such Guarantor, (b) adding to the covenants of the Company and its subsidiaries or surrendering rights of the Company and the Guarantors, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, (c) providing for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation, (d) adding Guarantors with respect to the Securities, (e) providing for the

appointment of a successor Trustee, and (f) providing security interests to secure the Securities. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Securities may be made by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular Securities to be affected or the holders of other Senior Secured Indebtedness. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

9. Denominations, Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer. The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S.$1.00 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

If this Security is in certificated form, then as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

If this Security is a Restricted Security in certificated form, any Holder that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer may exchange this Security for a book-entry security in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Indenture.

If this Security is a Global Security, it is exchangeable for Securities in certificated form if (a) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository or the Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or such cessation, as the case may be, or (b) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to any Securities represented by such Global Security and Holders who hold more than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding represented by such Global Security advise the Trustee through the Depository in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository (or a successor thereto) with respect to such Global Security is no longer required and the Security Registrar has received a

request from the Depository to issue certificated Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in any such Global Security shall be entitled to physical delivery in certificated form of Securities in authorized denominations equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Securities registered in its name.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

10. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to and at the time of due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

11. GOVERNING LAW. THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE TRUSTEE, THE COMPANY, ANY GUARANTOR, ANY OTHER OBLIGOR IN RESPECT OF THE SECURITIES AND THE HOLDERS SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE OR THIS SECURITY.

12. Paying Agents and Security Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York (the “Trustee”) will act as co-Paying Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., will act as Principal Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or co-Registrar. Upon such change, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Holders. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates may act as Security Registrar or co-Registrar. The Company may, subject to Section 3.07 and Section 10.03 of the Indenture, act as Paying Agent.

13. Additional Amounts. The Company will pay to the Holders of Securities such Additional Amounts as may become payable under Section 10.12 of the Indenture.

14. Conversion of Currency. Unless otherwise provided for with respect to a Dollar Constraint under Section 3.15 of the Indenture, (a) U.S. Dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company and the Guarantors under or in connection with the Securities, including damages and (b) 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 and the Guarantors or otherwise) by any Holder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company and the Guarantors shall only constitute a discharge to the Company and the Guarantors to the extent of the U.S. Dollar amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount 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). Unless the relevant Holder has elected to receive payment, in whole or in part, in Brazil in the lawful currency of Brazil following the occurrence of a Dollar Constraint (in accordance with the provisions described under Section 3.15 of the Indenture), if such U.S. Dollar amount is less than the U.S. Dollar amount expressed to be due to the Holder under any Security, the Company and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify such Holder against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the Company and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this paragraph, it will be sufficient for the Holders to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating sources 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, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from other obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder and will 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 Security.

15. Submission to Jurisdiction; Agent for Service; Waiver of Immunities. The Company and each Guarantor have submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or U.S. federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, New York, and any appellate court of a New York state court or U.S. federal court, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security or the Indenture or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. The Company and each Guarantor have appointed CT Corporation System, currently located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit, or proceeding with respect to, arising out of, or relating to, this Security or the Indenture that may be instituted in any Federal or state court in the State of New York, The City of New York, the Borough of Manhattan, or brought under Federal or state securities laws and have agreed that there shall, at all times, be at least one agent for service of process for the Company and the Guarantors appointed and acting in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.17 of the Indenture relating to agent for service of process. To the extent that the Company or any 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, the Company and each Guarantor have irrevocably waived such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Indenture and this Security, to the extent permitted by law.

The percentage of the principal payments specified in the table immediately above shall be based upon the Initial Principal Amount. Principal payments shall be made ratably based upon the principal amount of the Securities outstanding on the Payment Date. Such payments shall be made to the Holders of record of the Securities as of the close of business on the immediately preceding March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1.

The 7.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 shall bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum and the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009 shall bear interest

at a rate of LIBOR plus 3% per annum, in each case payable quarterly in arrears on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing on June 15, 2005. Interest payments shall be made to the Holders of record of the Securities as of the close of business on the immediately preceding March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1. Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the Issue Date, or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest on overdue principal payments on the Securities and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue installments of interest and any other overdue amounts owing in respect of the Securities shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 1% plus the rate of interest borne by the Securities and be computed on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be, and the number of days actually elapsed.

Securities offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of a single permanent global security for each of the 7.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 and the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009 (each, a “U.S. Global Security” and, collectively, the “U.S. Global Securities”) and Securities offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of a single permanent global security for each of the 7.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 and the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009 (each, an “Offshore Global Security”, and, collectively, the “Offshore Global Securities” and, together with the U.S. Global Securities, the “Global Securities”), each substantially in the form set forth in Sections 2.02 and 2.03 hereof, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian of the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of any Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

The principal of and interest on Global Securities shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the Global Securities represented thereby. The principal of and interest on Physical Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Security Register.

Prepayments in respect of the Securities may be made as provided in Article Eleven hereof. At the election of the Company, the entire indebtedness on the Securities may be defeased as provided in Article Four hereof.

Section 3.02. Denominations.

The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of U.S.$1.00 and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of (i) any one of its Chairman of the Board, Vice-Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President or Executive Vice Presidents, and (ii) any one of its Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Assistant Secretary or General Counsel.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices on the date of such Securities.

At any time and from time to time upon or after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 2.04 hereof duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized representative, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

In case the Company, pursuant to Article Eight hereof, shall be consolidated, amalgamated, merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, amalgamation or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer or lease as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight hereof, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in terminology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities surrendered for such exchange and

of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver replacement Securities as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If such Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 3.03 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent to authenticate Securities on behalf of the Trustee if directed to do so by a Company Order. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by each such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Security Registrar or Paying Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates.

If any of the Securities are to be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be in minimum denominations of U.S.$1.00 or integral multiples thereof, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository’s instructions and (iv) shall bear the legend in substantially the form set forth in Section 2.06.

Section 3.04. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Certain Restrictions on Transfer; Payment and Prepayment of Securities.

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.10 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Security Registrar may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities, of transfers of Securities and the payment and prepayment of principal of, interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, the Securities. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities, transfers of Securities and the payment and prepayment of principal of, interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to the Securities as herein provided.

All payments of principal of, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, each Security shall be made to the appropriate Person recorded in the Security Register as being the Holder of such Security.

All payments and prepayments of principal of any Security (including any prepayment pursuant to Sections 11.01 and 11.02 hereof) shall be recorded by the

Securities Registrar, along with the outstanding principal amount of such Security immediately after such payment or prepayment.

The entries in the Security Register absent manifest error shall be conclusive and the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall treat (i) each Person whose name is recorded in the Security Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of each such Security recorded in the Securities Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the outstanding principal amount of such Security, in each case for all purposes of this Indenture and the Securities.

The Security Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee (if, at any time, the Trustee shall not be acting as Security Registrar) and any Holder, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Securities in certificated form may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

A Physical Security may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security upon receipt by the Security Registrar of a Physical Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar, together with a Company Order directing the Security Registrar to make, or to direct the Depository to make, an endorsement on such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate amount of the Securities represented by such Global Security. Upon such receipt, the Security Registrar shall cancel such Physical Security and cause, or direct the Depository to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Security Registrar, the number of Securities represented by such Global Security to be increased accordingly. If no Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Company authenticate a new Global Security in the appropriate amount.

If a Security is a U.S. Physical Security, then as provided in this Indenture and subject to the limitations herein set forth, the Holder, provided it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, may exchange such Security for a book-entry security by instructing the Trustee to arrange for such Security to be represented by a beneficial interest in a Global Security.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange and no such transfer or exchange shall constitute a repayment of any obligation nor create any new obligations of the Company.

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

Every Restricted Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the legend required to be set forth on the face of each Restricted Security pursuant to Section 2.05 and Section 2.06 and the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.04, and the Holder of each Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by such restrictions on transfer.

The restrictions imposed by this Section 3.04 (other than under paragraphs seven, eight, nine and/or ten of this Section 3.04) and Section 2.05 upon the transferability of any particular Restricted Security (which arise as a result of its status as a Restricted Security) shall cease and terminate on (a) the later of March 22, 2008 or three years (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) after the later of the Issue Date or the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Restricted Security (or any predecessor of such Restricted Security) or (b) (if earlier) if and when such Restricted Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or, unless the Holder thereof is an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144 (or such successor provision), transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 904 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). Any Restricted Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Security for exchange to the Trustee or any transfer agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.04, be exchanged for a new Security, of like series, tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Private Placement Legend and shall thereafter be deemed not to be a Restricted Security for any purpose under this

Indenture. The Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the effective date of any registration statement registering any Restricted Securities under the Securities Act.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of 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 Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.04 or 9.06 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of prepayment of the Securities under Section 11.05 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unpaid or unredeemed portion of Securities being prepaid or redeemed in part.

Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by such Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

When Securities are presented to the Security Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Security Registrar’s request.

Section 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company, each Guarantor and the Trustee, such security or indemnity, in each case, as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Securities under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every replacement Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and each Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 3.06. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Security (and any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Subject to the terms of Section 3.14 and Section 3.15, any interest on any Security (and any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date and interest (and any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) on such defaulted interest at a rate per annum equal to 1% plus the interest rate borne by the Securities, to the extent lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor 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 Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money

when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection (a) provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of such Special Record Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee 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 Holder at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 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 so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection (b).

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

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

Section 3.07. Paying Agents; Discharge of Payment Obligations; Indemnity of Holders.

(a) The Company may from time to time appoint one or more Paying Agents and may designate a Paying Agent as Principal Paying Agent (the “Principal Paying Agent”) under this Indenture and the Securities. By its execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company hereby initially designates and appoints The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. as Principal Paying Agent and The Bank of New York as co-Paying Agent. Subject to Section 10.03, the Company may act as Paying Agent.

(b) Unless the Company shall be acting as Paying Agent as provided in Section 10.03, the Company shall, by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, no later than one Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date or principal payment date on any Securities (whether on maturity, scheduled principal repayment date, prepayment or otherwise) (each, a “Payment Date”), 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). The Company shall 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 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 or any Guarantor to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, of the principal and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on the Securities and of the compensation of such Paying Agents for their services as such. All Paying Agents will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee, all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by it. Upon complying with this Section 3.07 and the applicable provisions of Section 10.03, the Paying Agents shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

(c) Any payment to be made in respect of the Securities by the Company or any Guarantor to or to the order of a Paying Agent shall be in satisfaction pro tanto of the obligations of the Company under the Securities. The Company shall indemnify the Holders against any failure on the part of any Paying Agent to pay any sum due in respect of the Securities and shall pay such sum to the Trustee on demand. This indemnity constitutes a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Company under the Securities, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any waiver granted by the Trustee and/or any holder of Securities and shall continue in full force and effect despite any judgment, order, claim, or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under this Indenture, the Securities or any judgment or order.

Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to and at the time of due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered in the Security Register as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 3.06) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.09. Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall

be promptly cancelled by it. The Company and any Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or such Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s then customary procedures with respect to cancelled securities and, if requested by the Company, certification of such disposition delivered to the Company unless by a Company Order the Company shall direct that the cancelled Securities be returned to it. The Trustee shall provide the Company a list of all Securities that have been cancelled from time to time as requested by the Company.

Section 3.10. Computation of Interest.

Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months; provided, however, that Defaulted Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be, and the number of days actually elapsed.

Section 3.11. Legal Holidays.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Prepayment Date, date established for the payment of Defaulted Interest or any other Payment Date in respect of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of principal or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Prepayment Date, date established for the payment of Defaulted Interest or any other Payment Date in respect of any Security, as the case may be; and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Prepayment Date, the date established for the payment of Defaulted Interest or any other Payment Date in respect of any Security, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 3.12. CUSIP Number.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use a “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee shall use the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers in notices of prepayment or exchange; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. All 7.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 shall bear identical “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers and all Senior

Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009 shall bear identical “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers of Securities.

Section 3.13. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security.

(a) Each Global Security initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear the legend as set forth in Section 2.06.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security, a member of, or a participant in the Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of prepayment) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of such Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in a Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Security Registrar may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Security Registrar shall be entitled to deal with any depositary (including the Depository), and any nominee thereof, that is the Holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole Holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of any such depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between such depositary and any participant in such depositary or between or among any such depositary, any such

participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or shall impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

(b) Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository. In addition, Securities in certificated form (each, a “Physical Security”) shall be issued in exchange for a Global Security if (A) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for a Global Security or the Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or such cessation, as the case may be, or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Securities represented by a Global Security and Holders who hold more than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding represented by such Global Security advise the Trustee through the Depository in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository (or a successor thereto) with respect to such Global Security is no longer required and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depository to issue Physical Securities.

(d) Any U.S. Physical Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a U.S. Global Security pursuant to Section 3.13(b) above shall, if such U.S. Global Security is a Restricted Security, bear the Private Placement Legend.

(e) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.

(f) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners thereof pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner

identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.

(g) [Intentionally Omitted.]

(h) The Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(i) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Restricted Security to a QIB (other than a Non-U.S. person):

(i) If the Security to be transferred consists of (x) U.S. Physical Securities, the Security Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Security Registrar in writing. that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Security Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Security for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account are QIBs within the meaning of Rule 144A, and that it is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A and (y) an interest in a U.S. Global Security, the transfer of such interest may be effected only through the book-entry system maintained by the Depository, subject otherwise to the conditions in (a) above.

(ii) If the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Security to be transferred consists of Physical Securities, upon receipt by the Security Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s and the Security Registrar’s procedures therefor, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the applicable U.S. Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Securities to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Securities so transferred.

(j) Transfers of Interests in the Offshore Global Security or Offshore Physical Securities to U.S. Persons. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any transfer of interests in Offshore Global Securities or an Offshore Physical Securities to U.S. Persons:

(i) prior to the removal of the Private Placement Legend from an Offshore Global Security or Offshore Physical Securities pursuant to Section 2.05 and Section 3.04, the Security Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer; and

(ii) after such removal, the Security Registrar shall register the transfer of any such Security without requiring any additional certification.

(k) Transfers to Non-U.S. Persons at Any Time. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any transfer of a Security to a Non-U.S. Person:

(i) the Security Registrar shall register any proposed transfer to any Non-U.S. Person if the Security to be transferred is a U.S. Physical Security or an interest in a U.S. Global Security only upon receipt of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A from the proposed transferor; and

(ii) (x) if the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in a U.S. Global Security, upon receipt by the Registrar of (1) the documents required by paragraph (i) of this paragraph (k) and (2) instructions in accordance with the Depository’s and the Security Registrar’s procedures, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the applicable U.S. Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such U.S. Global Security to be transferred, and (y) if the proposed transfer is an Agent Member, upon receipt by the Security Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s and the Security Registrar’s procedures, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the applicable Offshore Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the U.S. Physical Securities or the U.S. Global Security, as the case may be, to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Security so transferred or decrease the principal amount of the applicable U.S. Global Security, as the case may be.

(l) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Security Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the Private Placement

Legend, the Security Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private Placement Legend unless either (i) the Private Placement Legend is no longer required pursuant to Section 3.04, or (ii) there is delivered to the Security Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

(m) General. By its acceptance of any Security, or any beneficial interest in any Global Security, bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Security or beneficial interest acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture. The Security Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Security unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture. In connection with any transfer of Securities to a Qualified Institutional Buyer, each such Holder or beneficial owner agrees by its acceptance of the Securities to furnish the Security Registrar or the Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as such Person may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Security Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Company with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

(n) The Security Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 3.13, in each case for two years following such receipt. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Security Registrar.

(o) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements thereof.

Section 3.14. Early Prepayments.

(a) Modified Payment Obligations Prior to Vesting Date. Prior to the Vesting Date, notwithstanding any provision hereof or of any Securities to the contrary, (i) neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be obligated to make any Early Prepayment and (ii) the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor shall be

modified as set forth below. Prior to the Vesting Date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit, or cause to be irrevocably deposited, on the relevant Payment Date in respect of any Early Prepayment, in an escrow account held by the Company, designated as the “Early Prepayment Account” (which account shall be pledged as security for the benefit of the Holders), an amount equal to the amount of the relevant Early Prepayment and all amounts of interest thereon that will accrue, compounded quarterly, to the Vesting Date, minus the total amount of interest to be generated on the Early Prepayment by such Early Prepayment Account, calculated on the basis of the rate of return with respect to the Early Prepayment Account at the time the relevant Early Prepayment is deposited therein. Any deposit made by or on behalf of the Company in the Early Prepayment Account pursuant to this Section 3.14 shall be in lieu of any payment which the Company would make pursuant to Article Eleven of this Indenture. On the Vesting Date, the Company shall comply with the terms of Section 3.14(b)(iii) hereof.

(b) Treatment of Early Prepayments. Upon acceptance of a Security, the Holder thereof is deemed to have agreed that, notwithstanding any provision hereof or of such Security to the contrary, prior to the Vesting Date, subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.14, neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make an Early Prepayment, and:

(i) the amount of any Early Prepayment timely made hereunder shall not constitute an overdue amount for any purpose;

(ii) such Securities shall continue to bear interest at the rate of interest otherwise provided for with respect to such Securities until paid in full; and

(iii) at the Payment Date in respect of the relevant Early Prepayment, the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor to make such Early Prepayment shall be discharged by deposit by or on behalf of the Company of the amount of such Early Prepayment in the Early Prepayment Account in accordance with Section 3.14(a) .

(c) Payments on Vesting Date. On the Business Day immediately following the Vesting Date, all Early Prepayments postponed in accordance with this Section 3.14 will be payable to Holders and the Company shall remit all funds in the Early Prepayment Account to a Paying Agent or the Trustee for payment to the Holders and the Trustee shall apply such amounts to discharge the Company’s obligations in respect of such Early Prepayment. The Company shall give the Trustee and each Paying Agent written notice of any Early Prepayment to be made under this subsection (c) at least one Business Day prior to such Early Prepayment.

(d) Limitation on Holder Actions. Prior to the Vesting Date, the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor hereunder and under the Securities shall

be modified as set forth in this Section 3.14, and neither the Trustee nor any Holder shall be entitled to take action against the Company or any Guarantor, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, or their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees or advisors, to enforce any rights against the Company or any Guarantor which the Trustee or such Holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 3.14, have had in respect of any Early Prepayment.

Section 3.15. Dollar Constraint.

(a) Notice of Dollar Constraint; Appointment of Brazilian Paying Agent. If a Dollar Constraint occurs, the Company shall, within five Business Days after the Company becomes aware of such occurrence, deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (i) certifying as to the existence of such Dollar Constraint and the nature thereof and (ii) describing the action that the Company has taken or intends to take with respect to such Dollar Constraint. Upon giving notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of such Dollar Constraint, the Company shall with the prior written approval of the Trustee, appoint a Paying Agent with an office in São Paulo, Brazil (the “Brazilian Paying Agent”) and shall provide the Trustee with written notice thereof. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the receipt thereof, give notice to the Holders and the Trustee of any such certification by the Company, the contents of such certification, the appointment of the Brazilian Paying Agent, the address of such Brazilian Paying Agent’s office in São Paulo and shall provide to the Holders an Election Notice (as defined in Section 3.15(c) below).

(b) Modified Payment Obligations During a Dollar Constraint. If a Dollar Constraint occurs on, or has occurred and is continuing as of, the date on which payment in dollars of any Affected Payment shall be due, then, provided that the Company shall have complied with the terms of Section 3.15(a) above, notwithstanding any provision hereof or of any Securities to the contrary, (i) neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be obligated to make the applicable Affected Payment in dollars and (ii) the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor shall be modified as set forth below, unless Brazilian law or regulation requires otherwise. The amount of any Affected Payment due during any fiscal year which was not paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Holders during such fiscal year as a result of the continuance of a Dollar Constraint shall be deducted from the amount of “Excess Cash Flow” with respect to such fiscal year for purposes of calculating the amount payable by the Company with respect to such fiscal year pursuant to Section 11.02(a) .

(i) If a Dollar Constraint shall have occurred and be continuing, each Holder may, subject to the conditions set forth below, elect in its sole discretion to receive any Affected Payment (x) in reais calculated using the Exchange Rate in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Payment Date or

(y) outside of Brazil in dollars promptly after the Dollar Constraint terminates. Any Holder may make one election in accordance with one option in the preceding sentence with respect to a portion of the aggregate principal amount of Securities held by such Holder and one election in accordance with the other option for the remaining portion of the aggregate principal amount of Securities held by such Holder. If no election is made by a Holder in accordance with this Section 3.15, such Holder shall be deemed to have selected option (y) in respect of the entire aggregate principal amount of Securities held by such Holder. In order for any such election to be effective, such Holder shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee and the Brazilian Paying Agent, a notice (an “Election Notice”) in the form provided to such Holder pursuant to Section 3.15(a) by not later than the date falling five Business Days prior to any Payment Date.

(ii) The Company shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on the Business Day immediately preceding each scheduled Payment Date during the continuation of a Dollar Constraint, in an escrow account held by the Brazilian Paying Agent for the benefit of such Holders (which account shall be pledged as security for the benefit of the Holders), designated as the “Dollar Constraint Payment Account”, an amount in reais equal to the amount of the relevant Affected Payment (calculated using the Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date) that would have been due and payable on such Payment Date but for the continuation of such Dollar Constraint.

(iii) Any election made pursuant to this Section 3.15(c) shall (x) be revocable at any time prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the relevant Payment Date by the Holder of the relevant Securities (by means of a written notice by such Holder to the Company and the Trustee) and (y) apply solely to the Affected Payment in respect of which such election has been made and shall bind all subsequent holders of the relevant Securities.

(iv) To the extent that any Holder elects under Section 3.15(c)(i)(x) above, to receive payment for any Affected Payment in reais, such Holder must have provided in its Election Notice to the Trustee under Section 3.15(c)(i) above the details of a reais denominated account in São Paulo, Brazil to which the Brazilian Paying Agent shall make the relevant Affected Payment in reais on the applicable Payment Date.

(d) Subsequent Election to Receive Reais on a Payment Date. During the continuation of a Dollar Constraint, a Holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to receive in reais any Affected Payment that was not paid in reais because no effective election was made pursuant to Section 3.15(c)(i)(x), by electing, not later than the date falling five Business Days prior to any subsequent Payment Date, to receive such

Affected Payment in reais on the same basis, and subject to the same right of revocation, as set forth in Section 3.15(c) above.

(e) Payments During a Dollar Constraint.

(i) If an election to receive reais pursuant to Section 3.15(c)(i)(x) or (d) above is effective with respect to any Affected Payment, an amount equal to the amount of such Affected Payment shall be transferred by the Company, on or before the applicable Payment Date, to the Brazilian Paying Agent, which shall transfer such reais denominated Affected Payment on such Payment Date to the reais account designated by such Holder in the relevant Holder’s Election Notice (which bank may also be the Brazilian Paying Agent).

(ii) On the last Business Day of each month during the continuation of a Dollar Constraint, the Company shall deposit into the Dollar Constraint Payment Account the amount, if any, required in order for the balance in such account to be equal to the reais amount (calculated using the Exchange Rate in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such deposit) that would be required to satisfy the Company’s aggregate payment obligations under Section 3.15(j) hereof with respect to each outstanding Affected Payment if the date of such deposit had been the Dollar Constraint Payment Date (such aggregate amount, the “Required Monthly Balance”). If, on the last Business Day of each month during the continuation of a Dollar Constraint, the amount on deposit in the Dollar Constraint Payment Account exceeds the applicable Required Monthly Balance, the Brazilian Paying Agent shall, at the written request of the Company (which written request shall include a reasonably detailed calculation of such Required Monthly Balance), transfer an amount equal to the amount of such excess to a reais account designated by the Company.

(f) Matters Relating to Affected Payments During Dollar Constraint. Upon acceptance of a Security, the Holder thereof is deemed to have agreed that, notwithstanding any provision hereof or of such Security to the contrary, upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of, a Dollar Constraint, subject to compliance by the Company and the Guarantors, as the case may be, with the provisions of this Section 3.15, neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make an Affected Payment, except as expressly contemplated in this Section 3.15, and, accordingly:

(i) interest shall not accrue on any Affected Payment of principal or interest timely made or postponed hereunder from the original Payment Date for such Affected Payment in respect of any portion of the principal amount of Securities held by any Holder for which such Holder shall have elected to receive payment in reais pursuant to Section 3.14(c)(i)(x) or (d) hereof;

(ii) the amount of any Affected Payment timely made or postponed hereunder shall not constitute an overdue amount for any purpose;

(iii) such Securities shall continue to bear interest at the rate of interest otherwise provided for with respect to such Securities until paid in full; and

(iv) on the Payment Date for any Affected Payment with respect to which such Holder shall have elected to receive payment in reais pursuant to Section 3.14(c)(i)(x) or (d) hereof, the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor to make such Affected Payment in dollars shall be discharged by payment in reais on such Payment Date;

provided, however, that if the Company or any Guarantor is prevented or restricted, legally or de facto, from purchasing reais in the exchange markets in Brazil at the commercial rate of exchange in effect at such time, the Company or such Guarantor’s obligation to make payments on the Securities in reais during the continuance of a Dollar Constraint shall be suspended until it is no longer so prevented or restricted.

Any payment made pursuant to this Section 3.15(f) is in lieu of any payment which the Company would make pursuant to any other provision of the Securities.

(g) Interest on Certain Affected Payments. During the continuation of a Dollar Constraint, interest on any portion of the principal amount of Securities held by any Holder for which such Holder shall have elected to receive payment in dollars pursuant to Section 3.14(c)(i)(y) hereof shall accrue and compound quarterly.

(h) Termination of a Dollar Constraint. A Dollar Constraint shall terminate with respect to Affected Payment when the Company is no longer prevented or restricted, legally or de facto, from purchasing dollars in the exchange markets in Brazil at the commercial rate of exchange or from remitting dollars abroad, in connection with making such Affected Payment.

(i) Notice of Termination of a Dollar Constraint and Payment.

(i) Upon the termination of a Dollar Constraint with respect to any Affected Payment, the Company or a Guarantor shall promptly give notice to the Trustee and the Brazilian Paying Agent, and if no other Dollar Constraint has occurred and is continuing, then the payment by the Company of any such Affected Payment in dollars and in an amount determined in accordance with Section 3.15(j) below shall be made to the relevant Holders five Business Days from the date of such notice (such date, a “Dollar Constraint Payment Date”).

(ii) Upon receipt of notice from the Company or a Guarantor pursuant to Section 3.15(i)(i) above, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders on behalf of and at the expense of the Company a notice specifying the date on which the Dollar Constraint terminated and, if Affected Payments are to be paid or are payable, specifying the relevant Dollar Constraint Payment Date, the amount to be paid or payable on such date, the place or places of payment, that, on and after said date the sole right of a Holder to any suspended payment shall be to receive such amount as calculated in accordance with Section 3.15(j) below, and that Holders who received any Affected Payments in reais in accordance with Section 3.15(c)(i)(x) or (d) on any Payment Date during the continuance of such Dollar Constraint shall not be entitled to receive any further amounts with respect to such Affected Payment.

(j) Payments on a Dollar Constraint Payment Date. On a Dollar Constraint Payment Date, postponed or otherwise unpaid Affected Payments on any Securities shall be payable in dollars and will be equal to the sum of (x) the amount of Affected Payments previously due on such Securities but not paid because of the Dollar Constraint and (y) any Additional Amounts in respect of the payments referred to in clause (x) above, in each case calculated using the Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day immediately preceding such Dollar Constraint Payment Date. Unless the Company shall be acting as Paying Agent as provided in Section 10.03, the Company shall, by 10:00 a.m. New York time, no later than one Business Day prior to such Dollar Constraint Payment Date, deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds a sum sufficient to pay such Affected Payment. Such deposit may be made, in whole or in part, using funds held by the Brazilian Paying Agent in the Dollar Constraint Payment Account.

(k) Exchange Rate. For the purposes of calculating the amounts in reais under this Section 3.15, in the event that no Exchange Rate is in effect with respect to the relevant date of determination, the relevant Exchange Rate shall be the Exchange Rate that was used to calculate the payment due on the Payment Date occurring immediately prior to the occurrence of the Dollar Constraint.

(l) Limitation on Holder Actions. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Dollar Constraint, the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor hereunder and under the Securities shall be modified as set forth in this Section 3.15, and neither the Trustee nor any Holder shall be entitled to take action against the Company or any Guarantor, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, or their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees or advisors, to enforce any rights against the Company or any Guarantor which the Trustee or such Holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 3.15, have had in respect of any Affected Payment.

(1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.09 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Four applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (a) money, in United States dollars, in an amount, or (b) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money, in United States dollars, in an amount, or (c) a combination thereof, in any such case, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and interest on the Defeased Securities (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) on the scheduled principal repayment dates or any other Payment Date in respect of such principal or installment of principal or

interest; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the Securities; and provided, further, that from and after the time of deposit, the money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited shall not be subject to the rights of the holders of other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor;

(3) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor of the Company is an “insolvent person” within the meaning of any applicable Bankruptcy Law on the date of such deposit or at any time during the period ending on the ninety-first day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

(4) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee for the Securities to have a conflicting interest in violation of Section 6.08 and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the Company or any Guarantor;

(5) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound;

(6) In the case of an election under Section 4.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable United States Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

(7) In the case of an election under Section 4.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of United States counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize

income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, this condition may not be waived by any Holder or the Trustee;

(9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, (x) the trust funds established pursuant to this Article will not be subject to any rights of any other creditors of the Company, any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or of any Guarantor or holders of other Indebtedness of the Company, any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or of any Guarantor, and (y) immediately following the ninety-first day after the deposit, the trust funds established pursuant to this Article will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(10) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit made by the Company pursuant to its election under Section 4.02 or 4.03 was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders or any Guarantor over the other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

(11) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of counsel in the United States, and the Federative Republic of Brazil, in each case stating that (i) all conditions precedent (other than conditions requiring the passage of time) provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 4.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 4.03 (as the case may be) have been complied with as contemplated by this Section 4.04 and (ii) if any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor shall then be outstanding or committed, such defeasance or covenant defeasance will not violate the provisions of the agreements or instruments evidencing such Indebtedness.

Opinions required to be delivered under this Section may rely on officer’s certificates as to any matter of fact and have such qualifications as are customary for opinions of the type required and acceptable to the Trustee.

Section 4.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other person that would qualify to act as successor trustee under Article Six, collectively for purposes of this Section 4.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 4.04 in respect of the Defeased Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Defeased Securities.

Anything in this Article Four to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 4.04 which, in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.

Section 4.06. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government obligations in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Company and of any Guarantor under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall

be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i), (j) or (k) with respect to the Company or a Guarantor or the Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(l)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall upon the request of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding, by written notice to the Company, declare all principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest to the date the Securities become due and payable on all outstanding Securities (and any Additional Amounts relating thereto) to be immediately due and payable. Upon any such declaration such principal and interest and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i), (j) or (k) with respect to the Company or any Guarantor or Section 5.01(l) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made or after any ipso facto acceleration following an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i), (j) or (k) with respect to the Company or a Guarantor or in Section 5.01(l) above and, in any such case, before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration or such ipso facto acceleration following an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i), (j), (k) or (l), as the case may be, and its consequences if:

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(i) all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07, including the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,

(ii) all overdue interest on all Securities (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof),

(iii) the principal of any Securities (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) at the rate then borne by the Securities, and

(iv) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) upon overdue interest at the rate then borne by the Securities;

(b) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities which have become due solely as a result of such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13; and

(c) such rescission or annulment of such declaration of acceleration would not conflict with any judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction.

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

Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company and each Guarantor covenant that if:

(a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days or more; or

(b) default is made in the payment or prepayment of the principal of any Security at the relevant scheduled principal payment date determined in accordance with Section 3.01 and/or Article Eleven hereof, as the case may be;

the Company and each Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate then borne by the Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof.

If the Company and each Guarantor fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may, but is not obligated under this paragraph to, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid and may, but is not obligated under this paragraph to, prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may, but is not obligated under this paragraph to, enforce the same against the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion, but is not obligated under this paragraph to, (i) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture or any Securities by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, including, without limitation, seeking recourse against any Guarantor or (ii) proceed to protect and enforce any other proper remedy, including, without limitation, seeking recourse against any Guarantor. No recovery of any such judgment upon any property of the Company or any Guarantor shall affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders.

Section 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, including each Guarantor, or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, but is not obligated under this paragraph

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any Custodian, in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 5.06. Application of Money Collected.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article and, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Indenture Obligations, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

First: to the Trustee in payment for all amounts due the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) under Section 6.07;

Second: to Holders for interest accrued on the Securities (including Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof), ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for interest;

Third: to Holders for principal amounts owing under the Securities (including Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof), ratably, without preference or

priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal;

Fourth: to Holders for any other amounts owing under the Securities, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind; and

Fifth: the balance, if any, to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects or there is otherwise so distributable any amounts from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.06.

Section 5.07. Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(d) the Trustee for 45 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 45-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities;

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

Section 5.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Subject to the terms of Sections 3.14 and 3.15 of this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive cash payment, in dollars, of the principal of and, subject to Section 3.06 hereof, interest on such Security (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) on the respective Payment Date expressed in such Security (or, in the case of prepayment, on the respective Prepayment Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as provided in Section 3.05, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11.

instrument executed by authority of the Board of the Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and a copy to the successor Trustee. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 20 Business Days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by an Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the Trustee’s receipt of such notice of removal, the departing Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with Section 6.08 hereof after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose or rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any case, (x) the Company by a Board Resolution of its Board may remove the Trustee, or (y) subject to Section 5.14, the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution of its Board, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee in

109

accordance with Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of the Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, subject to Section 5.14, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee as if originally named as Trustee hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or the successor Trustee, upon payment of amounts due it pursuant to Section 6.07, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee all moneys and property at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 6.07. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.07.

No successor Trustee with respect to the Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible to act as Trustee under this Article.

Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor Trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the successor shall give notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the

110

Security Register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.10(f) .

Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or amalgamated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided such Person shall be eligible under this Article to serve as Trustee hereunder.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee under this Section 6.12 shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee under this Section 6.12 may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of that Act. If the present or any future Trustee shall resign or be removed, it shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent provided therein.

Section 6.14. Appointment of Co-Trustee.

The Company and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by the Company to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee. If the Company or any applicable Guarantor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall

111

have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

Every co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions:

(a) the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee;

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company and each applicable Guarantor shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section;

(d) neither the Trustee nor any co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee.

Section 6.15. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

Pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.03, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial prepayment thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the

112

Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

113

The provisions of Sections 3.08, 6.04 and 6.05 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

If an appointment with respect to the Securities shall be made pursuant to this Section, such Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:

This is one of the Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

(ii) any Tax imposed on, or measured by, net income;

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES

Section 13.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article Thirteen, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (such guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company or any other Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest on the Securities (and any Additional Amounts payable thereon) and any other amounts owing in respect of the Securities shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, upon prepayment pursuant to the provisions of Article Eleven hereof and the Securities relating thereto, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof) and all other Indenture Obligations shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other Indenture Obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Holders, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Securities shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and

145

shall entitle the Holders of Securities to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Security, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each of the 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, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and this Guarantee. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Thirteen, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, 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 Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Securities, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

146

The Guarantors hereby agree that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

No stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator, past, present or future, or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any personal liability under this Guarantee by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator.

The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Guarantee.

(b) To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01(a), each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee, substantially in the form included in Section 2.07, shall be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and such Guarantee shall be executed by either manual or facsimile signature of a legal representative of each Guarantor. The validity and enforceability of any Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Security.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01(a) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security an notation of such Guarantee.

If a legal representative of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a notation of Guarantee ceases to be a legal representative of such Guarantor at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

Section 13.02. Additional Guarantors.

All future Restricted Subsidiaries shall, and any other Person may, become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Trustee (a) a supplemental indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit B to this Indenture, which subjects such Person to the provisions of this Indenture as a Guarantor, and (b) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized and executed by such Person and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such Person

147

(subject to customary exceptions concerning bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, creditors’ rights, laws of general application and equitable principles).

Section 13.03. Release of a Guarantor.

(a) If no Default exists or would exist under this Indenture, upon the sale or disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction permitted under this Indenture, or upon the consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into any person in compliance with Article Eight (in each case, other than to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), such Guarantor and each Subsidiary of such Guarantor that is also a Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this Article Thirteen without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder; provided, however, that each such Guarantor is sold or disposed of in accordance with this Indenture;

(b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of a Guarantor upon receipt of a Company Order or request of such or such Guarantor accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 13.03. Any Guarantor not so released or the entity surviving such Guarantor, as applicable, shall remain or be liable under its Guarantee as provided in this Article Thirteen.

The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee under this Article Thirteen.

Except as set forth in Article Eight and Article Ten and this Section 13.03, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 13.04. Waiver of Subrogation.

Until this Indenture is discharged and all amounts owing in respect of the Securities are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Securities or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Guaranteed Parties against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity,

148

or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property 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 Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities under the Securities, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Guaranteed Parties, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 13.04 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 13.05. Immediate Payment.

Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties of all Guaranteed Obligations owing or payable to the respective Guaranteed Parties upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor by the Trustee to such Guarantor in writing.

Section 13.06. No Set-Off.

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Guaranteed Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 13.07. Obligations Absolute.

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

Section 13.08. Obligations Continuing.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full.

149

Section 13.09. Obligations Not Reduced.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged by any intermediate payment or satisfaction of the whole or any part of the principal, interest, fees and other monies or amounts which may at any time be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Securities or this Indenture.

Section 13.10. Obligations Reinstated.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder 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 Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Guaranteed Parties upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any 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 is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, all such indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein.

Section 13.11. Obligations Not Affected.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any 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 Guarantor or any of the Guaranteed Parties) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Guaranteed Parties or otherwise, including, without limitation:

(a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance 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 or any other person;

(b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other document or instrument;

150

(c) any failure of the Company, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, or to give notice thereof to a Guarantor;

(d) 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 or any other person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

(e) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral;

(g) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other person;

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

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

(l) any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities or of a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder.

151

Section 13.12. Waiver.

Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 13.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Guaranteed Parties upon the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Company or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives all benefits set forth in articles 1491, 1494, 1498, 1499, 1500 and 1503 of the Brazilian Civil Code, articles 261 and 262 of the Brazilian Commercial Code and article 595 of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code.

Neither the Trustee nor any of the other Guaranteed Parties shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or against the Company or any other person or any property of the Company or any other person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Guarantees or under this Indenture.

Section 13.14. Dealing with Company and Others.

The Guaranteed Parties, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may:

(d) accept compromises or arrangements from the Company;

(e) apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any security upon such part of the Guaranteed Obligations as the Guaranteed

152

Parties may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Guaranteed Parties may see fit; and

(f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all other Persons and any security as the Guaranteed Parties or the Trustee may see fit.

Section 13.15. Default and Enforcement.

If any Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with Section 13.05 hereof, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s Obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Guarantor the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 13.16. Amendment, etc.

Section 13.20. Survival of Obligations.

Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, the obligations of each Guarantor under Section 13.06 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall be enforceable against such

153

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 Guarantor.

Section 13.21. Guarantee in Addition to Other Obligations.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Guaranteed Parties in relation to this Indenture or the Securities and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

Section 13.22. Severability.

Any provision of this Article Thirteen which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic intent, spirit and purpose of this Indenture and this Article Thirteen.

Section 13.23. Successors and Assigns.

Each Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
