SECTION 2.01. The Form and Title of the Securities.
There is hereby established three new series of Securities to be issued under the Indenture
and to be designated as the Company’s 5.95% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”), the Company’s
6.35% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and the Company’s 6.80% Senior Notes due 2037 (the
“2037 Notes” and collectively with the 2012 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes
shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, in each case with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted
by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such
legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate or as may be required or
appropriate to comply with any laws or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with the rules of
any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or traded,
or to conform to general usage, or as may, consistently with the Indenture, be determined by the
officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof.
The Notes shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of,
and shall in all respects be subject to, the terms, conditions and covenants of the Original
Indenture as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture (including the form of Note set
forth as Exhibit A hereto (the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part of this
First Supplemental Indenture for all intents and purposes)).
SECTION 2.02. Amount.
The aggregate principal amount of the Notes which may be authenticated and delivered pursuant
hereto is unlimited. The Trustee shall initially authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue
in initial aggregate principal amounts of up to $600,000,000 of the 2012 Notes, up to $600,000,000
of the 2017 Notes and up to $300,000,000 of the 2037 Notes upon delivery to the Trustee of a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes. The Company may, from time to
time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount
of the Notes under the Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion
thereof), in which case any additional Notes so issued will have the same form and terms (other
than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon
will begin to accrue), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the
Notes previously issued, and such additional Notes will form a single series with the Notes
previously issued.
SECTION 2.03. Stated Maturity and Denominations.
The Stated Maturity of the 2012 Notes shall be June 15, 2012, of the 2017 Notes shall be June
15, 2017 and of the 2037 Notes shall be June 15, 2037. The Notes are issuable only in registered
form without coupons in denominations of U.S. $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof.
SECTION 2.04. Interest and Interest Rates.
The rate or rates at which the Notes shall bear interest, the date or dates from which such
interest shall accrue, the Interest Payment Dates on which any such interest shall be payable and
the Regular Record Date for any interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, in each case, shall
be as set forth in the form of applicable Note set forth as Exhibits A hereto.
SECTION 2.05. Place of Payment.
As long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Notes may be presented for payment.
SECTION 2.06. Optional Redemption.
At its option, the Company may redeem any series of Notes, in whole or in part, in principal
amounts of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, at any time or from time to time, at the
applicable redemption price
2 | First Supplemental Indenture |
determined as set forth in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Note and in accordance with Article Eleven of the
Original Indenture.
SECTION 2.07. Global Securities; Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange.
The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities. Such Global
Securities (i) shall bear the legends applicable to Global Securities set forth in the Original
Indenture (including without limitation in Section 2.4 thereof), (ii) may be exchanged in whole or
in part for Securities in definitive form upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in
Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture and in this First Supplemental Indenture and (iii) shall
otherwise be subject to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.
(1) Rule 144A Global Notes. The Notes offered and sold to “qualified institutional
buyers” (“QIBs” or individually, a “QIB”) (which term shall have the meaning assigned to it
in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) in the
United States of America in reliance on Rule 144A will initially be issued as permanent
Global Securities (the “Rule 144A Global Notes”), without interest coupons, substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Rule 144A Global Notes will be duly executed by
the Company, authenticated by the Trustee, deposited with the Trustee (as custodian for The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), which shall act as Depository with respect to the Notes
constituting Global Securities) and registered in the name of DTC or a nominee thereof.
(2) Regulation S Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in Offshore Transactions to
Non-U.S. Persons (each such term to have the meaning assigned to it in Regulation S under
the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) in reliance on Regulation S will initially be issued as
permanent Global Securities (the “Regulation S Global Notes”), without interest coupons,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Regulation S Global Notes will
be duly executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee, deposited with the Trustee
(as custodian for DTC) and registered in the name of DTC or a nominee thereof.
SECTION 2.08. Transfer and Exchange.
(1) Transfer and Exchange of Notes in Certificated Form. In addition to the
requirements set forth in Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture, the Notes in certificated
form that are Registrable Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Transfer
Restricted Securities”) presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture shall be accompanied by the following
additional information and documents, as applicable, upon which the Security Registrar may
conclusively rely:
(a) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being delivered to the Security
Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer,
a certification from such Holder to that effect (in substantially the form of the
Exchange/Transfer Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto); or
(b) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred (1) to a QIB
in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (2) pursuant to an
exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act
(and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Company or the Trustee so requests) or
(3) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a
certification to that effect from such holder (in substantially the form of the
Exchange/Transfer Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto); or
(c) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred pursuant to an
exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the
Securities Act, certifications to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the
form of both (i) the Exchange/Transfer Certificate included in Exhibit A
hereto and (ii) the Regulation S Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto)
and an opinion of counsel to that effect if the Company or the Trustee so requests;
or
(d) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred in reliance on
and in compliance with another exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially
the form of the Exchange/Transfer
3 | First Supplemental Indenture |
Certificate included in Exhibit A hereto) and an opinion of counsel to
that effect if the Company or the Trustee so requests.
(2) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of the Global
Notes (as defined below) or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the
Depository, upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in Section 3.5 of the
Original Indenture and Article 2 of this First Supplemental Indenture (including the
restrictions on transfer set forth therein and herein) and the rules and procedures of the
Depository therefor, which shall include restrictions on transfer comparable to those set
forth therein and herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.
SECTION 2.09. Legends.
(1) (i) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (2) and (3) immediately below,
each certificate evidencing the Rule 144A Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes (each, a
“Global Note”) or any other Notes in certificated form (and all Notes issued in exchange
therefor or substitution thereof other than the Exchange Notes (as defined below)) shall
bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION
EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD
OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY
NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION
FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A
THEREUNDER.
THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A)
THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY
(I) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS
A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (II)
TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER,
FURNISHES THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND
AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE (THE FORM OF WHICH CAN BE
OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE) AND, IF SUCH TRANSFER IS IN RESPECT OF AN
AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES LESS THAN $250,000, AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE SECURITIES ACT, (III) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE
TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT, (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (V) PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES
(I) THROUGH (IV) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT
HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE
RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. IN ANY CASE, THE HOLDER HEREOF
WILL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY HEDGING TRANSACTIONS WITH
REGARD TO THIS SECURITY EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
(ii) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (2) and (3) immediately below, each
certificate evidencing the Regulation S Global Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange
therefor or substitution thereof other than the Exchange Notes (as defined below)) shall
bear a legend in substantially the following form:
4 | First Supplemental Indenture |
THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION
ORIGINALLY EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED
STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TERMS USED ABOVE
HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
(2) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer
Restricted Security represented by a Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which effectiveness
shall be certified by the Company to the Trustee and Security Registrar upon which each may
conclusively rely:
(a) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security in definitive form, the
Security Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer
Restricted Security for a Note in definitive form that does not bear the legends set
forth in (1) above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer
Restricted Security; and
(b) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global
Note, such Transfer Restricted Security shall not be required to bear the legends
set forth in (1) above if all other interests in such Global Note have been or are
concurrently being sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, but
such Transfer Restricted Security shall continue to be subject to the provisions of
Section 3.5 of the Original Indenture and this Section 2.09 of this First
Supplemental Indenture.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a
Company Order in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Original Indenture, the Trustee shall
authenticate Notes (“Exchange Notes”) in exchange for Notes accepted for exchange in the
Exchange Offer, which Exchange Notes shall be in the form of Note attached hereto as
Exhibit A but shall not bear the legends set forth in (1) above, and the Security
Registrar shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of the Exchange Notes, in each case
unless the Holder of Notes being transferred in the Exchange Offer is either (A) a
broker-dealer tendering Notes acquired directly from the Company, (B) a Person participating
in the Exchange Offer for purposes of distributing the Exchange Notes or (C) a Person who is
an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company. The
Company shall identify to the Trustee such Holders of the Notes in a written certification
signed by an Officer of the Company and, absent receipt of a certificate from the Company to
such effect, the Trustee shall assume that there are no such Holders.
SECTION 2.10. Unconditional Guarantee.
Article Fourteen of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented by this First
Supplemental Indenture) shall be applicable to the Notes, and accordingly, as more fully set forth
in such Article Fourteen, the Guarantor fully, irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely
guarantees to the Holders of Notes and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and all other Indenture Obligations, when and
as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, upon redemption or by
declaration of acceleration or otherwise.
To further evidence the Guarantees of the Notes, the Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation
of such Guarantees in substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, in each case
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or
permitted by the Indenture, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the Guarantor. The
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantees of the Notes shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on any such Notes a notation relating to the Guarantees
thereof.
5 | First Supplemental Indenture |
SECTION 2.11. Registration Rights Agreement.
Holders of the Notes shall have the benefit of the Company’s registration obligations with
respect to the Notes, and such Holders shall also have certain obligations to indemnify the Company
under certain circumstances, all as more fully set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
ARTICLE 3
Other Amendments to Indenture
SECTION 3.01. Amendments to Indenture
The amendments contained in this Section 3.01 shall apply to the Notes only and not to any
other series of Securities issued under the Indenture. Such amendments shall be effective only for
so long as there remain outstanding any Notes.
(a) Section 7.4 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended, subject to the preamble of this
Section 3.01 and with respect to the Notes only, by (i) deleting the word “and” at the end of
clause (b) of such Section, (ii) deleting the period at the end of clause (c) of such Section and
inserting the word “and” at the end of such clause, and (iii) inserting the following text
immediately after such clause (c):
(d) for so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities
Act, furnish to the Holders of Notes and to prospective investors in the Notes, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(b) The Original Indenture is hereby amended, subject to the preamble of this Section 3.01 and
with respect to the Notes only, by adding the following as a new Section 10.10 thereto:
Section 10.10 Repurchase at the Option of Holders
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, Holders of
Securities will have the right to require the Company to make an offer (the “Change
of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Securities at a purchase price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased, to the date of
purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder of
Securities describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of
Control Triggering Event and stating:
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 10.10 and that all Securities tendered will be accepted for payment;
(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier
than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed
(the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
(3) that any Securities not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of
Control Payment, all Securities accepted for payment pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control
Payment Date;
(5) that Holders electing to have any Securities repurchased pursuant
to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Securities,
with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the
Securities completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying
Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business
on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;
6 | First Supplemental Indenture |
(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the
Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram,
telex, facsimile, transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
Holder, the principal amount of Securities delivered for purchase, and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the
Securities purchased; and
(7) that Holders whose Securities are being purchased only in part will
be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Securities surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be
equal to $2,000 in principal amount or in any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof.
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those
laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the
Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of
this Section 10.10 (or compliance with this Section 10.10 would constitute a
violation of any such laws or regulations), the Company will comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached
its obligations under this Section 10.10 by virtue of such conflicts.
(b) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be
required, to the extent lawful, to:
(1) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities
properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of
Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities
properly tendered; and
(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities
properly accepted.
The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days
after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of Securities properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each
Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the
Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each new Security will be in a
principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The
Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as
soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a
Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of
Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described below, purchases all of the
Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have
the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more
than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer
described above, to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such
purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control
Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.10, the Company
will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control
Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in
this Section 10.10 and purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn
under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice
7 | First Supplemental Indenture |
of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 11.4 with respect to a redemption
of Securities pursuant to Article Eleven, unless and until there is a default in
payment of the applicable redemption price.
(e) For purposes of this Section 10.10, the following definitions shall be
applicable:
(1) “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities are
rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any
date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result
in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public
notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall
be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly
announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating
Agencies).
(2) “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition
(other than by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the
Guarantor), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or
substantially all of the properties or assets of the Guarantor and its

13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the Guarantor or one of its
Subsidiaries or a Person controlled by the Guarantor or one of its
Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without
limitation, any merger, amalgamation or consolidation) the result of which
is that any person (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50%
of the then outstanding number of the Guarantor’s voting shares (excluding a
Redomestication of the Guarantor); or (3) the first day on which a majority

Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who
were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination,

Guarantor’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for
election as a director, without objection to such nomination).
(5) “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than
Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P.
(6) “Moody’s” means Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc.

either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or fails to make a
rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the
Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”
within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act,

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
XXXXXXXXXXX INTERNATIONAL, INC.
[ ]% Senior Note due [ ]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (which term includes
any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to) designated as its [ ]%
Senior Notes due [ ] (the “Notes”), issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of
June 18, 2007, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking
corporation, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under such
Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of
June 18, 2007 (such Indenture, as so amended and supplemented being referred to herein as the
“Indenture”). The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Reference is hereby
made to the Indenture and all further supplemental indentures thereto for a statement of the
respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered.
As provided in the Indenture, Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different
series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may
bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if
any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to
different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or
permitted. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof.
This Note is the general, unsecured, senior obligation of the Company and is guaranteed
pursuant to a guarantee (the “Guarantee”) by Xxxxxxxxxxx International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted
company (the “Guarantor”).
The Notes are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by
mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company at a Redemption Price
equal to the greater of: (a) 100% of the principal amount of Securities then outstanding to be
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date; or (b) the sum of the
present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities then
outstanding to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of
the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (computed based on a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus [___] basis
points (0.[___]%), as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the redemption date; but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to
on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date: (a) the yield, under the
heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most
recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes
yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the
caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury
Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life, as defined below,
yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue
will be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (b) if such release (or any
successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not
contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as
a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date. The Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the
redemption date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the
Securities to be redeemed that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.
A-4 | First Supplemental Indenture |
“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, or (2) if an Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Independent Investment Banker” means Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated or UBS Securities LLC or any of their respective successors, as designated by us, or
if all such firms are unwilling or unable to serve as such, an independent investment and banking
institution of national standing appointed by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means: (a) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated and UBS Securities LLC and each of their respective successors; provided that, if any
such Reference Treasury Dealer ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the
United States (Primary Treasury Dealer), the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury
Dealer; and (b) up to two other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the bid
and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to an Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of
the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the
Company and the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note 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 Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place(s) and rate, and
in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
This Global Security or portion hereof may not be exchanged for Definitive Securities of this
series except in the limited circumstances provided in the Indenture. The holders of beneficial
interests in this Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive
Securities except as described in the Indenture and will not be considered the Holders thereof for
any purpose under the Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S. $2,000
and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and
none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.
A-5 | First Supplemental Indenture |
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of or contained in the
Indenture or of or contained in any Note, or the Guarantee endorsed thereon, or for any claim based
thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or in any Security or in the Guarantee, or because of the
creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator,
shareholder, member, officer, manager or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company
or the Guarantor or of any successor Person, either directly or through the Company or the
Guarantor or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law,
or by the enforcement of any assessment, penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that
all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as a
condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the Notes and the execution of the Indenture.
The Indenture provides that the Company and the Guarantor (a) will be discharged from any and
all obligations in respect of the Notes (except for certain obligations described in the
Indenture), or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each
case if the Company or the Guarantor deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations (or a combination thereof) which through the payment of interest thereon and principal
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the
principal of and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.
As more fully provided in the Indenture, no Holder may pursue any remedy under the Indenture
unless the Trustee shall have failed to act after notice of an Event of Default and written request
by Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series and the
offer to the Trustee of indemnity satisfactory to it; however, such provision does not affect the
right to xxx for enforcement of any overdue payment on any Security.
Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Note which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

and the initial purchasers named therein, and such Holders shall also have certain obligations to
indemnify the Company and the Guarantor under certain circumstances, all as more fully set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement. In certain events, the Company shall be required to pay to the
Holder of this Note a special interest premium on this Note, on the terms and subject to the
