Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Issuer from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken.

Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Issuer’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Issuer in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 106.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to each other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect

thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Whenever in this Indenture or the other Notes Documents, a determination is to be made by, a discretion is to be exercised by or other action taken by Majority Holders acting through legal counsel, the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a written statement by such legal counsel that it is acting on behalf of such Majority Holders as conclusive evidence of the act of Majority Holders. Neither the Trustee nor Collateral Agent shall have any duty to investigate whether such legal counsel is counsel to the Majority Holders or whether such determination, discretion or action has been authorized by Majority Holders, and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability to any Note Party, any Holder or any other Person for acting in reliance on such statement.

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. If notice is mailed to Holders in the manner provided in this Section 106, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it. Where the 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.

To the extent the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, 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, executor or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each of the Issuer and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Indenture to the extent permitted by law.

If a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands is represented by an attorney-in-fact in connection with the signing and/or execution of this Indenture or any other agreement, deed or document referred to in or made pursuant to this Indenture, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Indenture that the existence and extent of the attorney-in-fact’s authority and the effects of the attorney-in-fact’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands.

Section 113.

Legal Holidays.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, purchase date or Stated Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or of the Notes), payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or purchase date, or at the Stated Maturity, and no additional interest will accrue solely as a result of such delayed payment.

Section 114.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Shareholders.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any Indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture or of any Guarantor under its Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such Indebtedness, obligations or liabilities or their creation.

Section 115.

appealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under the Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subclause (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under the Indenture.

ARTICLE THREE
THE NOTES

Section 301.

Title and Terms

The Notes shall be entitled the “8.75% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024.” The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes on the Initial Issuance Date and, at any time and from time to time thereafter, subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Sections 1008 and 1010, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Additional Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 314.

The Notes will mature on September 1, 2024. Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 8.75% per annum, and will be payable semiannually in cash on each March 1 and September 1, commencing on March 1, 2021 in the case of the Initial Notes, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on February 15 and August 15 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance to but excluding the actual Interest Payment Date.

The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven and subject to Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance as provided in Article Thirteen. The Notes shall have such other terms as are indicated in Annex A.

Section 302.

Denominations.

The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof.

Section 303.

Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one of its Officers. If its corporate seal is reproduced thereon, it shall be attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

If the Issuer elects to reproduce its corporate seal on the Notes, then such seal may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of the Indenture and as provided in Section 301, the Issuer may deliver Notes or, subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Sections 1008 and 1010, Additional Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes or Additional Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with the Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes or Additional Notes.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Annex A, signed manually in the name of the Trustee by an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of the Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

Section 304.

Temporary Notes.

Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes in either global or certificated form, as appropriate, in each case, in registered form, to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the

temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as definitive Notes.

Section 305.

Registrar, Global Notes and Definitive Notes.

The Issuer 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 of the Issuer being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.

Book-Entry Provisions. The provisions of clauses (1) through (6) below shall apply only to Global Notes:

(1) Each Global Note authenticated under the Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Note or a nominee thereof, delivered to the Trustee, as Securities Custodian, and bear appropriate legends as set forth in Section 202. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except as set forth in this Section 305. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(2) Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Trustee as the Securities Custodian, and DTC may be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(3) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to this Article Three to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Securities Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date

and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount.

(4) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to this Article Three, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.

(5) The registered Holder of a Global Note 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 the Indenture or the Notes.

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

Definitive Notes. The provision of clauses (i) – (iv) below shall apply only to Definitive Notes.

(i) Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with DTC’s and the Registrar’s procedures. In addition, Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (A) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as Depositary, and in each case a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice, (B) subject to DTC’s rules, the Issuer, at its option, delivers to the Trustee and Registrar written notice stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and DTC notifies the Issuer and the Trustee of DTC’s decision to exchange such Global Note for Definitive Notes. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the second preceding sentence or in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of DTC (in accordance with its customary procedures).

(ii) If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Definitive Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note representing the principal amount not so transferred.

(iii) If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for another Definitive Note, (x) the Trustee will cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Definitive Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Definitive Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

Section 306.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer 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 new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the

destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes 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 Notes.

Section 307.

Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner at the rate provided in the Notes (“Defaulted Interest”). The Issuer may pay the Defaulted Interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date and at least 15 days before the special record date, shall promptly mail to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of Defaulted Interest to be paid; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.

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

Section 308.

Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever (except as required by applicable tax laws), whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

None of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 309.

Cancellation.

All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, purchase, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may

have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by the Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s standard procedures.

Section 310.

Computation of Interest.

A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by this Section 311. The Trustee shall promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section 311 by noting the same in the Security Register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange shall be effective until it is registered in such register. The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section 311 and Section 203, as applicable, and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with this paragraph.

(b) Transfers of Restricted Notes. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed registration of transfer of a Restricted Note prior to the date which is one year after the later of the date of its original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”):

(i) a registration of transfer of a Restricted Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of the transferee in the form as set forth on the reverse of the Note that it is purchasing for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and 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 Issuer 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; provided that no such written representation or other written certification shall be required in connection with the transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Note in reliance on Rule 144A to a transferee in the form of a beneficial interest in such Global Note in accordance with the Indenture and the applicable procedures of DTC;

(ii) a registration of transfer of a Restricted Note or a beneficial interest therein to an IAI shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Annex C hereto from the proposed transferee and, if requested by the Issuer, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to it; and

Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear a Restricted Notes Legend unless (i) such Note is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer 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.

(d) Retention of Written Communications. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 311.

(iii) The Issuer (and the Registrar) shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note,

(A) for a period (1) of 15 days before giving any notice of redemption of Notes or (2) beginning 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date or (B) selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving any payment on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, including the transfer or exchange of such Note, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(v) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(f) No Obligation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in so relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(g) Affiliate Holders. After the Initial Issuance Date, by accepting a beneficial interest in a Global Note, any Person that is an Affiliate of the Issuer agrees to give notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar of the acquisition and its Affiliate status.

Section 312. When Securities Disregarded.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Outstanding Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders, Notes owned by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be disregarded, except that (a) Notes owned by Specified Holders shall not be so disregarded and (b) for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good

faith shall not be so disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver, consent, approval or other action of Holders with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is either (i) not the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Person directly or indirectly controlled by the Issuer or any Guarantor or (ii) a Specified Holder. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes Outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.

Section 313.

Calculation of Specified Percentage of Notes.

With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes then Outstanding, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then Outstanding, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then Outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with Section 312 of the Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 313 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate.

Section 314.

Issuance of Additional Notes.

The Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Sections 1008 and 1010, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million which Additional Notes shall be part of the same series as the Initial Notes issued on the Initial Issuance Date, rank equally with the Initial Notes and shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Initial Issuance Date in all respects, other than with respect to (a) the date of issuance, (b) the issue price, (c) the date from which interest begins to accrue and (d) the initial interest payment date. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes issued upon original issue under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, consents, directions, declarations, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; and none of the Holders of any Initial Notes or any Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent; provided that the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes may be issued under separate CUSIP numbers.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and

(b) the issue price, the issue date (and the corresponding date from which interest shall accrue thereon and the first interest payment date therefor) and the CUSIP number and any corresponding ISIN of such Additional Notes.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, with respect to any Additional Notes issued subsequent to the date of this Indenture, when the context requires, all provisions of this Indenture shall be construed and interpreted to permit the issuance of such Additional Notes and to allow such Additional Notes to be part of the same series as the Initial Notes originally issued

under this Indenture. Indebtedness represented by Additional Notes shall be subject to the covenants contained in this Indenture.

(a) is caused by a failure to pay at its Stated Maturity principal on such Indebtedness within the applicable express grace period and any extensions thereof, or

Section 502.

Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or 501(8) with respect to the Parent Guarantor) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare (an “acceleration declaration”) the principal of, premium, if any, and accured and unpaid interest on the Notes, to be due and payable, and upon any such declaration the aggregate principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or 501(8) occurs with respect to the Parent Guarantor, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, on all of the Outstanding Notes shall become immediately due and payable, without any further action or notice to the extent permitted by law.

At any time after such an acceleration declaration occurs, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration declaration and its consequences if:

(i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;

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

(A) all overdue interest on all the Notes,

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any such Notes which have become due otherwise than by such acceleration declaration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate prescribed therefor in the Notes, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(iii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration declaration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

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

If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their Stated Maturity, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)) on or after August 28, 2021, the amount of principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium

on the Notes that becomes due and payable shall equal the optional redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, that would be applicable with respect to an optional redemption of the applicable Notes on the date of such acceleration as if such acceleration were an optional redemption of the Notes accelerated. If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their Stated Maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)) prior to August 28, 2021, the amount of principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Notes that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes prepaid plus the Make Whole Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, as if such acceleration were an optional redemption of the Notes accelerated.

In any such case, the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable, shall constitute part of the Notes, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any amounts payable pursuant to the above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Holder, and each of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable, plus accrued and unpaid interest, shall also be payable in the event the Notes are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means). EACH OF THE PARENT GUARANTOR, THE ISSUER AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) each of the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable, is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Holders, the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable; and (D) the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the optional redemption price or the principal amount of the Notes plus the Make Whole Premium, as applicable to the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to purchase the Notes.

Section 503.

Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

Subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes (and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable).

Section 504.

Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, examiner or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent any amount due them for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Sections 607 and 1508.

No provision of the Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

Section 505.

Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

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

Section 506.

Application of Money Collected.

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Sections 607 and 1508;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Guarantors or the Issuer, as applicable, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 507.

Limitation on Suits.

A Holder of Notes may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

A Holder may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use by a Holder prejudices the rights of any other Holders or obtains a preference or priority over such other Holders).

Section 508.

Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the Holder of any Notes shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Notes on the Stated Maturity expressed in

Section 509.

Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 306, 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, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 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 511.

Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or of any Holder 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.

(a) the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with the Indenture, that may involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability, or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction (it being understood that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent have no duty to determine whether any such direction is prejudicial to any Holder), and

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from such Holders of Notes.

Section 513.

Waiver of Existing Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver with respect to an existing default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 514.

Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; provided that this Section shall not be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Issuer.

Section 515.

Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and each of the Issuer and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 516.

Subject to First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby understood and agreed that (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holder Group pursuant to the Notes Documents and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the Notes Documents or the application of proceeds

(including insurance and condemnation proceeds) of any Collateral, in each case, are subject to the limitations and provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided therein.

ARTICLE SIX
THE TRUSTEE

Section 601.

Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

The duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or the other Notes Documents against the Trustee; and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no implied covenants shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee, and no provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 512. The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, except that the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

Section 602.

Notice of Defaults.

If a default occurs hereunder and is continuing which is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders of the Notes notice of such default within 90 days after it becomes known to such Responsible Officer; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any Event of Default and any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. Except in the case of a default or Event

of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee from the Issuer or a Holder at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references such Notes and the Indenture.

Section 603.

Certain Rights of Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

(1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(2) any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(3) whenever in the administration of the Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

(4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(5) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel;

(6) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the fees, costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(7) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,

request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney;

(8) the Trustee shall not be responsible for genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien, or for monitoring the value of the Collateral that is released from the Lien hereunder;

(9) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

(10) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes authorized or within its rights;

(11) the Trustee shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Trustee (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, epidemics, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility);

(12) the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof. The Trustee may act in conclusive reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so;

(13) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether such Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and

(14) the permissive rights of the Trustee herein and in the other Notes Documents shall not be construed as a duty.

Section 604.

Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer and neither the Trustee nor any

Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture, the Notes or the other Notes Documents. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of Notes or the proceeds thereof.

Section 605.

May Hold Notes.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Registrar, the Collateral Agent or any other agent of the Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Registrar, Collateral Agent or such other agent.

Section 606.

Money Held in Trust.

Money and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Issuer.

Section 607.

Compensation and Reimbursement.

The Issuer agrees:

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of the Indenture (including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) and the Notes Documents, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(c) to indemnify, jointly and severally with the Guarantors, the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the Trustee’s part as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder and the other Notes Documents (including enforcing this Section 607), including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and under the other Notes Documents.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 607 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 607, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in paragraph (7) or (8) of Section 501 of the Indenture, such expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding” means, with respect to any Person, (a) an insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization, examinership or similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to such Person or its creditors, as such, or its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up proceeding of such Person, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of assets and liabilities of such Person.

Reserved.

Section 609.

Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder. Each Trustee shall be a Person that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person 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 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 610.

Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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 in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.

The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (voting as a single class), delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer.

If at any time:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months;

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Holder; or

(3) 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 of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Issuer by a resolution duly passed by its Board of Directors may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note 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 or Trustees.

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, with respect to the Notes, the Issuer, by a resolution duly passed by its Board of Directors, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note 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.

The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders of Notes in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 611.

Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer 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; but, on the request of the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such

successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 612.

Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 613.

Section 614.

Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in the Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes 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 Issuer and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50.0 million 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 corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation 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 Issuer. 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 Issuer. 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 Issuer and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. 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 Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Notes designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

It is hereby expressly acknowledged and

agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose.

(d) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 703 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer.

(2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(3) reduce any premium payable upon redemption of the Notes or change the date on which any Notes are subject to redemption (other than the notice provisions) or waive any payment with respect to the redemption of the Notes; provided, however, that solely for the avoidance of doubt, and without any other implication, any purchase or repurchase of Notes (including pursuant to Section 1007) shall not be deemed a redemption of the Notes;

(4) make any Note payable in money or currency other than that stated in the Notes;

(5) modify or change any provision of the Indenture or the related definitions to affect the ranking of the Notes or any Guarantee in a manner that adversely affects the Holders;

(6) reduce the percentage of Holders necessary to consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver to the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes;

(7) waive a default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders thereof as provided in the Indenture and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(8) impair the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes on or after the due date therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the Notes;

(9) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or the Indenture, except as permitted by the Indenture; or

(10) make any change in these amendment, supplement and waiver provisions.

In addition, the consent of Holders representing at least 66 2⁄3% of outstanding principal amount of the Notes will be required to release the Liens for the benefit of the Holders on all or substantially all of the Collateral, other than in accordance with the Notes Documents.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

After an amendment or supplement under this Section 902 becomes effective, the Issuer shall send to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. However, the failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or supplement.

Section 903.

Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to any Collateral Document permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by the Indenture, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture or supplement or amendment is authorized or permitted by the Indenture and the other Notes Documents. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture, the other Notes Documents or otherwise.

Section 904.

Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, the Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 905.

Reserved.

Section 906.

Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may bear a notation as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and such new Notes may be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

ARTICLE TEN
COVENANTS

Section 1001.

Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if a Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at the interest rate specified in the Notes to the extent lawful; and it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Section 1002.

Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer will maintain, in the contiguous United States of America and in any other Place of Payment, an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, and it will maintain an office or agency in the contiguous United States of America where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands; provided that no office of the Trustee shall be an office or agency of the Issuer for the purposes of service of legal process on the Issuer or any Guarantor, such office or agency shall be the Process Agent appointed under Section 112. The Issuer hereby irrevocably designates as a Place of Payment for the Notes the Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer or any Subsidiary may act as Registrar or Paying Agent. The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations, in each case without notice to the Holders; provided, however, that the Issuer will maintain a Paying Agent and Registrar in the continguous United States of America so long as any Notes are Outstanding. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 1003.

Money for Notes Payments to Be Held in Trust.

If the Issuer or any Subsidiary shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, it will, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and (2) during the continuance of any default by the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer or a Subsidiary, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on the Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request, or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Notes shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that, if there are then Outstanding any Notes not in global form, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City and State of New York notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

Section 1004.

Annual Compliance Certificate; Statement by Officers as to Default.

(a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the Initial Issuance Date an Officers’ Certificate signed by the principal executive officer, the principal accounting officer or the principal financial officer of the Issuer, stating that a review of the activities of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether each of the Issuer and the Guarantors has performed its obligations under the Indenture, and further stating whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe such Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b) The Issuer shall, so long as any Note is Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee within 30 days after the occurrence of a Default, written notice (which need not be an Officers’

Certificate) specifying such Default, and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 1005.

Existence.

Subject to Article Eight, the Issuer and each Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantors shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

Section 1006.

Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly formed or newly acquired Subsidiary or a Person becoming a Subsidiary through merger or consolidation or Investment therein) of the Parent Guarantor as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under the Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; and

(2) the Parent Guarantor would be permitted to make, at the time of such Designation, (a) a Permitted Investment or (b) an Investment pursuant to Section 1009, in either case, in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Parent Guarantor’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary on such date.

No Subsidiary shall be Designated as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” unless:

(1) all of the Indebtedness of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of Designation, consist of Non-Recourse Debt, except for any guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Equity Interests of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, which guarantee is not recourse to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, and except for any guarantee of Indebtedness of such Subsidiary by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary that is permitted as both an incurrence of Indebtedness and an Investment (in each case in an amount equal to the amount of such Indebtedness so guaranteed) permitted by Section 1008;

(2) on the date such Subsidiary is Designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding (other than a guarantee permitted under clause (1) above) with the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the terms of the agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Parent Guarantor; and

(3) such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Parent Guarantor nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (a) to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of such Person or

(a) to maintain or preserve the Person’s financial condition or to cause the Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results (in each case other than a guarantee permitted under clause (1) above) (it being understood that any contractual arrangements between the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such Subsidiary pursuant to which such Subsidiary sells products or provides services to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business are not included in this clause (3)).

Any such Designation by the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution of the Parent Guarantor giving effect to such Designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Designation complies with the foregoing conditions. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture and any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary and any Liens on assets of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary at such time and, if the Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred under Section 1008 or the Lien is not permitted under Section 1010, the Parent Guarantor shall be in default of the applicable covenant.

The Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Redesignation”) only if:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Redesignation; and

(2) all Liens, Indebtedness and Investments of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Redesignation would, if incurred or made at such time, have been permitted to be incurred or made for all purposes of the Indenture.

Any such Redesignation shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution of the Parent Guarantor giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Redesignation complies with the foregoing conditions.

Section 1007.

Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes under Section 1103, each Holder of Notes will have the right, except as provided below, to require that the Issuer purchase all or any part (equal to a minimum of $1.00 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes for a cash price equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

Not later than 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice:

(1) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control;

(2) offering to purchase, pursuant to the procedures required hereby and described in the notice (a “Change of Control Offer”), on a date specified in the notice, which shall be a Business Day not earlier than 30 days, nor later than 60 days, from the date the notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), and for the Change of Control Payment, all Notes that are properly tendered by such Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; and

(3) describing the procedures, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with the Indenture, that Holders must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer.

On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of the Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of a minimum of $1.00 or integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

(2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder who has so tendered Notes the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes so tendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $1.00 or integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.

A Change of Control Offer will be required to remain open for at least 20 Business Days or for such longer period as is required by law. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the date of purchase.

The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) 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 the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) the Issuer has given notice of the redemption of all of the Notes then Outstanding under Section 1103, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price.

If Holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer to redeem all Notes 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 price, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

The Issuer will comply with all applicable securities legislation in the United States, including, without limitation the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1007, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1007 by virtue of such compliance.

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

Section 1008.

Limitation on Additional Indebtedness.

The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided that the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor may incur additional Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), in each case, if, after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis (including giving pro forma effect to the application of the proceeds thereof), the Parent Guarantor’s Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio would be at least 2.00 to 1.00 (the “Coverage Ratio Exception”).

Notwithstanding the above, each of the following incurrences of Indebtedness shall be permitted (the “Permitted Indebtedness”):

(1) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under one or more Credit Facilities providing solely for the issuance of letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $350.0 million; provided that (a) such Credit Facilities shall be provided by commercial banks that issue letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments in the ordinary course of such commercial banks’ business and (b) the

pricing and economics of such Credit Facilities shall be on then prevailing market terms (as determined in good faith by the Issuer);

(2) Indebtedness under (a) the Notes issued on the Initial Issuance Date and (b) the Guarantees of such Notes;

(3) Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent outstanding on the Initial Issuance Date (other than Indebtedness referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (6) of this paragraph);

(4) (a) guarantees by the Issuer or any Guarantor of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being guaranteed is Subordinated Indebtedness, then the related guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be, and (b) guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors;

(5) Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations entered into for bona fide hedging purposes of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and not for the purpose of speculation;

(6) Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor owed to and held by a Restricted Subsidiary and Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case of this proviso, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (6);

(7) Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of workers’ compensation claims, bank guarantees, warehouse receipt or similar facilities, property, casualty or liability insurance, take-or-pay obligations in supply arrangements, self-insurance obligations or completion, performance, bid performance, appeal, customs, advance payment or surety bonds or similar instruments in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting such workers’ compensation claims, bank guarantees, warehouse receipt or similar facilities, property, casualty or liability insurance, and letters of credit supporting performance or other obligations of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, take-or-pay obligations in supply arrangements, self-insurance obligations or completion, performance, bid performance, appeal, customs, advance payment or surety bonds or similar instruments;

(8) Purchase Money Indebtedness incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Initial Issuance Date in an aggregate principal amount, taken together with Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, not to exceed at any

time outstanding the greater of (a) $250 million and (b) 2.5% of the Parent Guarantor’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined at the time of incurrence;

(9) Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business;

(10) Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary arising in connection with endorsement of instruments for deposit in the ordinary course of business;

(11) Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception or with respect to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (8) above, this clause (11), or clause (13), (17) or (18) below;

(12) indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-out or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary or Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Equity Interests for the purpose of financing or in contemplation of any such acquisition;

(13) additional Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (13) and any Refinancing Indebtedness thereof and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (a) $500 million and (b) 5.0% of the Parent Guarantor’s Consolidated Tangible Assets determined at the time of incurrence;

(14) Indebtedness in respect of Specified Cash Management Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(15) Indebtedness incurred in connection with a Permitted Factoring Transaction that is not recourse to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (except for Standard Securitization Undertakings);

(16) Indebtedness of Persons incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person was acquired by the Issuer or any Guarantor and such Person becomes a Guarantor upon such acquisition, or merged or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any Guarantor and the surviving Person is the Issuer or a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation); provided, however, that at the time such Person or its assets are acquired by the Issuer or a Guarantor, or merged or consolidated with the Issuer or a Guarantor and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (16) and any other related Indebtedness, either (i) the Parent Guarantor would have been able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or (ii) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Parent Guarantor and

its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than or equal to such Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition, merger or consolidation;

(17) Indebtedness incurred (a) under the Additional Notes as described under Section 314 originally issued at a price no less than face value, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100 million at any one time outstanding and (b) the Guarantees of such Notes; and

(18) Indebtedness incurred under any letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments issued in the ordinary course of business.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 1008, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (18) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, the Parent Guarantor shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness and may divide and classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described (except that Indebtedness incurred under the LC Credit Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date, after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of this offering, shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (1) above and may not be reclassified) and may later reclassify any item of Indebtedness described in clauses (2) through (18) above (provided that at the time of reclassification it meets the criteria in such category or categories). In addition, for purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this covenant, (i) guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit, bank guaranties, bankers’ acceptances and similar instruments supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could have incurred such Indebtedness and (ii) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness, including in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness of this Section 1008; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Parent Guarantor as accrued.

For the purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the earlier of the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different

currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 1008, the Issuer shall be in Default of this covenant).

Section 1009.

Limitation on Restricted Payments.

The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment:

(1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof;

(2) the Parent Guarantor is not able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or

(3) the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made after the Unsecured Notes Issue Date (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (2) through (11) of the next paragraph), exceeds the sum (the “Restricted Payments Basket”) of (without duplication):

(d) upon a Redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, an amount (to the extent not included in the computation of Consolidated Net Income) equal to the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Parent Guarantor’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary immediately following such Redesignation, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Parent Guarantor’s Investments in such Subsidiary to the extent such Investments reduced the Restricted Payments Basket and were not previously repaid or otherwise reduced.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph will not prohibit:

(13) dividends, loans, advances or distributions to any Successor Parent or other payments by the Parent Guarantor or any of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries in amounts required for any Successor Parent to pay any Related Taxes;

provided, that no issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests used to make a payment pursuant to clauses (2) or (5)(B) above shall increase the Restricted Payments Basket to the extent of such payment.

For the purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on Restricted Payments denominated in a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar-equivalent amount of such Restricted Payment shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Restricted Payment was made. The amount of any Restricted Payment (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment (or, in the case of a dividend, on the date of declaration) of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

Section 1010.

(3) Liens on property acquired, constructed, altered or improved by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture which are created or assumed contemporaneously with, or within one year after, such acquisition (or in the case of property constructed, altered or improved, after the completion and commencement of commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price of such property or the cost of such construction, alteration or improvement, it being understood that if a commitment for such a financing is obtained prior to or within such one year period, the applicable Lien shall be deemed to be included in this clause (2) whether or not such Lien is created within such one year period; provided that in the case of any such construction, alteration or improvement the Lien shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than (i) the property so altered or improved and (ii) any theretofore unimproved real property on which the property so constructed or altered, or the improvement, is located;

(4) Liens on any property existing at the time of acquisition thereof (including Liens on any property acquired from or held by a Person which is consolidated or amalgamated with or merged with or into the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) and Liens outstanding at the time any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that are not incurred in connection with such entity becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor;

secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, together with the reasonable costs related to such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).

Section 1011.

Limitation on Dividends and Other Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor) to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Equity Interests to the Parent Guarantor or any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Equity Interests);

(b) make loans or advances, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed, to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness or obligations incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

(c) transfer any of its property or assets to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (a) or (b) above);

except for, in each case:

(2) encumbrances or restrictions existing under the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees;

(3) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

(4) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not

applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired (including after acquired property);

(5) any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, increases, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), or (10); provided, however, that such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refunding, replacements or refinancing are, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements referred to in such clauses on the Initial Issuance Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged into a Restricted Subsidiary, whichever is applicable;

(6) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of applicable law, regulation or order;

(7) customary restrictions or limitations in leases, licenses or other agreements restricting the assignment thereof or the assignment of the property that is the subject of such agreement;

(9) restrictions imposed under any agreement to sell Equity Interests or assets to any Person pending the closing of such sale;

(10) any other agreement governing Indebtedness or other obligations entered into after the Initial Issuance Date that either (A) contains encumbrances and restrictions that in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Initial Issuance Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Initial Issuance Date or those contained in the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees or (B) any such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements or instruments governing such Indebtedness that is customary and does not prohibit (except upon a default or an event of default thereunder) the payment of dividends in an amount sufficient, as determined by the Issuer in good faith, to make scheduled payments of cash interest and principal on the Notes when due;

(11) provisions in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance documents, joint venture agreements, shareholder agreements and other similar agreements that restrict the disposition or distribution of ownership interests in or assets of such partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, corporation or similar Person;

(13) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers, suppliers or landlords under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(14) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to or by reason of an agreement that the Unrestricted Subsidiary is a party to entered into before the date on which such Unrestricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in anticipation of the Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and any such encumbrance or restriction shall not extend to any assets or property of the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the assets and property so acquired;

(16) any Permitted Investment or Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 1009;

Section 1012.

Limitation on Asset Sales.

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Parent Guarantor (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or any Person assuming responsibilities for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the date of the Indenture is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

100

(a) any liabilities, as shown on the Parent Guarantor’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than (i) unsecured Indebtedness and Indebtedness that is secured by Liens that are junior in priority to the Liens securing the Notes and the Guarantees and (ii) contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability (or in lieu of such absence of liability, the acquiring Person or its parent company agrees to indemnify and hold the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary harmless from and against any loss, liability or cost in respect of such assumed liabilities accompanied by the posting of a letter of credit (issued by a commercial bank of national standing) in favor of the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary for the full amount of such liabilities and for so long as such liabilities remain outstanding unless such indemnifying party (or its long term debt securities) shall have an investment grade rating (with no indication of a negative outlook or credit watch with negative implications, in any case, that contemplates such indemnifying party (or its long term debt securities) failing to have an investment grade rating) at the time the indemnity is entered into) or that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee;

(b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Parent Guarantor or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 180 days after the Asset Sale, converted by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Parent Guarantor (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may apply those Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following:

(I) to prepay, repay, redeem or repurchase First Priority Obligations; provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment, redemption repurchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (I), (a) the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and, in the case of revolving Indebtedness, will cause the related commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so retired and (b) if the asset that is subject to the Asset Sale is subject to a Lien securing the First Priority LC Obligations that ranks pari passu with (and is not subject to a waterfall provision with seniority to) the Indenture Obligations, the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary will redeem or repurchase (or offer to redeem or repurchase) the Notes on a pro rata (or greater) basis with any other First Priority Obligations being prepaid, repaid, redeemed or repurchased, at the Company’s option, as provided under Section 1103 herein, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a purchase price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Offer) to all Holders to purchase the Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the

101

amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid;

(II) to purchase Notes;

(III) to invest in or acquire Additional Assets; or

(IV) to make capital expenditures in respect of the Parent Guarantor’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Permitted Business.

provided that to the extent that the assets sold pursuant to this Section constituted Collateral, the Additional Assets received as consideration or that were acquired or invested in and the assets in respect of which such capital expenditures were made shall be owned by Note Parties.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”

If on the 366th day after an Asset Sale the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds then exceeds $25.0 million, within five days after such date, the Issuer will make an offer (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes, and all holders of other Indebtedness that constitutes First Priority Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase, prepay or redeem on a pro rata basis (based on principal amounts of Notes and other First Priority Obligations) the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other First Priority Obligations (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated to the purchase of Notes, the Issuer will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require), based on the principal amounts tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $1.00, or an integral multiple of $1.00 thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. The Parent Guarantor may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Excess Proceeds by making an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the relevant 365-day period or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $25.0 million or less.

The provisions under the Indenture relative to the Parent Guarantor’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified with the written consent of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

102

The Issuer 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 each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 1012, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions by virtue of such compliance.

Section 1013.

Limitation on Affiliate Transactions.

The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate involving aggregate value in excess of $40.0 million (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate, or if in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, or are otherwise fair to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and

(2) the Parent Guarantor delivers to the Trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value in excess of $75.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above and which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been adopted by the Independent Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(1) transactions to the extent between or among (a) the Parent Guarantor and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) director, trustee, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including pursuant to any employment agreement or any retirement, health, stock option or other benefit plan), payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees of the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries and indemnification arrangements, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors or senior management;

(3) Permitted Investments (other than those made under clause (1) of such definition) or Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 1009;

(4) any agreement in effect on the Initial Issuance Date or as thereafter amended or replaced in any manner that, taken as a whole, is not materially less

103

advantageous to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, than such agreement as it was in effect on the Initial Issuance Date;

(5) any transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor) which would constitute an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor solely because the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an Equity Interest in or otherwise controls such Person;

(6) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Indenture; provided that in the reasonable determination of the senior management of the Parent Guarantor, such transactions are on terms not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor;

(7) the issuance or sale of any Qualified Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith to, or the receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of the Parent Guarantor;

(8) pledging of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(9) any transaction effected as part of a Permitted Factoring Transaction;

(10) any transaction where the only consideration paid by the Parent Guarantor or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary is Qualified Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor;

(11) non-exclusive licenses of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property;

(12) transactions between the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Parent Guarantor, and such director is the sole cause for such Person to be deemed an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such director shall abstain from voting as a director of the Parent Guarantor on any matter involving such other Person; and

(13) agreements and transactions entered into or effected in connection with the payment of Related Taxes.

104

does not constitute a Guarantor and is organized in an Initial Specified Jurisdiction, reasonably requested by the Majority Holders or (iii) any Restricted Subsidiary Guarantees or otherwise becomes an obligor in respect of Indebtedness or other obligations under the LC Credit Agreement or any other third party Indebtedness for borrowed money of a Note Party, or any Credit Facility incurred under Section 1008(1), in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $20,000,000, the Parent Guarantor shall (A) (1) with respect to any Guarantee provided pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, within 45 days (or, in the case of clause (ii), with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary specified in Annex E, on or before the applicable date set forth on such Annex E) in either case, such later date as may be agreed by the Majority Holders, or (2) with respect to any Guarantee provided pursuant to clause (iii), contemporaneously with the provision of such Guarantee, cause such Restricted Subsidiary to (a) become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Annex B pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor with respect to the Notes, upon the terms and subject to the release provisions and other limitations in Article Fourteen, (b) deliver to the Collateral Agent such opinions (including an opinion as to such Guarantor’s ability to guarantee the Indenture Obligations pursuant to such supplemental indenture and to grant Liens to secure the Indenture Obligations), organizational and authorization documents, an Officers’ Certificate and such certificates substantially in the form delivered to the agent under the LC Credit Agreement or the applicable representative under such other third party indebtedness, and (c) deliver to the Collateral Agent such other documents consistent with those documents delivered to the agent under the LC Credit Agreement or the applicable representative under such third party indebtedness, and (B) cause such Restricted Subsidiary to comply with Section 1017(b) within the applicable time periods prescribed therein (subject to the Applicable Collateral Limitations).

ARTICLE FOURTEEN
GUARANTEES

Section 1401.

Unconditional Guarantee.

(a) For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby fully, irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture, the Notes and the Notes Documents by the Issuer and the Guarantors (including amounts incurred in enforcing this Guarantee) (collectively, the “Indenture Obligations”), but in the case of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (a “Swiss Guarantor”) up to a maximum total amount of 120% of the aggregate amount of the Notes, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1403; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the liability of WOFS Assurance with respect to the Indenture Obligations shall be limited or extinguished, as applicable, to the extent necessary to ensure that WOFS Assurance, at all times, meets its minimum solvency margin and liquidity ratio pursuant to the Insurance Act and sections 31A through 31C of the Insurance Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors’ liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Indenture Obligations and would be owed by the Issuer to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders under the Indenture and the Notes but for the fact that they are unenforceable, reduced, limited, impaired, suspended or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Issuer.

(b) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to its Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the Guarantors will be jointly and severally (in Spanish, en forma solidaria) obligated (to the fullest extent permitted by law) to pay the same immediately to the Trustee, without set-off or counterclaim or other reduction whatsoever (whether for taxes, withholding or otherwise), except as set out in Section 1410 below for a Swiss Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, the mechanics of Section 1410(e) to (h) below shall apply exclusively in case of Swiss tax deduction (including withholding) relating to a Swiss

115

Guarantor. Each Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a senior secured obligation of the applicable Guarantor and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all debt of such Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Guarantee of any other Guarantor or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any other Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 507, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against such Guarantor to enforce its Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer or any other Guarantor.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each of the Guarantors under this Article shall be as aforesaid full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Issuer or any of the other Guarantors contained in the Notes or the Indenture, (B) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of the Issuer, any of the other Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (C) the assertion or exercise by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder of any rights or remedies under the Notes or the Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (D) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Notes, including all or any part of the rights of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors under the Indenture, (E) the extension of the time for payment by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Notes or the Indenture or of the time for performance by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (F) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors set forth in the Indenture, (G) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, examinership, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of any of the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture in any such proceeding, (H) the release or discharge of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (I) the unenforceability or invalidity of the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture, (J) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other

existence, structure or ownership of the Issuer or any Guarantor or (K) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantees) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors hereby (A) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, the benefit of excussion (in Spanish, beneficio de excusión), the benefit of order (in Spanish, beneficio de órden), notice of acceptance, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, and all demands and notices whatsoever, (B) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing its Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to it and (C) covenants that its Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantee. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to its Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, such Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made.

(e) Each of the Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, provided, however, that such Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Notes and the Guarantees shall have been paid in full or discharged.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders, any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Article Fourteen and the Guarantees shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any rights, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies. The rights and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided in law or equity. Nothing contained in this Article Fourteen shall limit the right of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article Five or to pursue any other rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law.

Section 1402.

Subsidiary Guarantee Evidenced by Indenture.

The Guarantee of any Guarantor shall be evidenced solely by its execution and delivery of the Indenture (or, in the case of any Guarantor that is not party to the Indenture on the Initial Issuance Date, a supplemental indenture hereto) and not by an endorsement on, or attachment to, any Note or any guarantee or notation thereof.

117

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in the Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

In the event that the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Restricted Subsidiary after the Initial Issuance Date, if required by Section 1014 hereof, the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, will cause such Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 1014 hereof and this Article Fourteen, to the extent applicable.

Section 1403.

Limitation on Guarantors’ Liability.

Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Note entitled to the benefits of the Guarantees hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable transaction under applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each of the Holders of a Note entitled to the benefits of the Guarantees and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the LC Credit Agreement or the Unsecured Notes Indenture) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable transaction under applicable law.

Section 1404.

Release of Guarantors from Guarantees.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture, the Guarantee of any Guarantor shall be released upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1404. A Guarantor shall be released automatically from its obligations under its Guarantee and its other obligations under the Indenture upon:

(i)

(A) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, any disposition of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety (whether by consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(B) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, any disposition (whether by consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer or otherwise) of the

118

Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor after which the Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary;

(C) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the proper designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

(D) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Debt which required such Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 1014 is no longer outstanding;

(E) Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as provided in Article Four; or

(F) liquidation and dissolution of such Guarantor, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing; and

(ii) the Issuer delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 1404 relating to the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee and its other obligations under the Indenture have been complied with.

(b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel the Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

(c) Any Guarantor not released in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture will remain liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article Fourteen, subject to the limitations of Section 1403.

Section 1405.

Guarantor Contribution.

To the extent permissible under the laws applicable to the relevant Guarantor, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor as to be agreed among the Guarantors by separate agreement.

Section 1406.

[Reserved]

Section 1407.

Luxembourg Limitations

(a) The payment obligation of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) for the obligations of the Issuer or any other Guarantor that is not a Subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor, shall be limited at any time, with no double counting, to an aggregate amount not exceeding the higher of:

119

(i) ninety five per cent (95%) of the sum of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s own funds (capitaux propres) (as referred to in Annex 1 of the Luxembourg regulation dated 18 December 2015 defining the form and the content of the balance sheet and profit and loss account layouts and implementing among others article 34 of the Luxembourg law dated 19 December 2002 concerning the trade and companies register and the accounting and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended) (the “Own Funds”) and such Luxembourg Guarantor’s debt which is subordinated in right of payment (whether generally or specifically) to any claim of any Holder under any of the Notes Documents (the “Lux Subordinated Debt”), as determined on the basis of the then latest available annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor duly established in accordance with applicable accounting rules, as at the date of this Indenture; and

(ii) the sum of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s Own Funds and the Lux Subordinated Debt, as determined on the basis of the then latest available annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor duly established in accordance with applicable accounting rules, as at the date of a guarantee payment under this Indenture.

(iii) Where for the purpose of the above determinations, no duly established annual accounts are available for the relevant reference period (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes a situation where, in respect of the determination to be made under (a) above, no final annual accounts have been established in due time in respect of the then most recently ended financial year) the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor shall, promptly, establish unaudited interim accounts (as of the date of the end of the then most recent financial quarter) or annual accounts (as applicable) duly established in accordance with applicable accounting rules, pursuant to which the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor’s Own Funds and Lux Subordinated Debt will be determined. If the relevant Guarantor fails to provide such unaudited interim accounts or annual accounts (as applicable) within 30 Business Days as from the request of the Trustee, the Trustee may appoint an independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé) or an independent reputable investment bank which shall undertake the determination of the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor’s Own Funds and Lux Subordinated Debt. In order to prepare such determination, the independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé) or the independent reputable investment bank shall take into consideration such available elements and facts at such time, including without limitation, the latest annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor and any entities in which it has a direct or indirect equity interest, any recent valuation of the assets of such Luxembourg Guarantor and any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, the market value of the assets of such Guarantor and any entities in which it has a direct or indirect equity interest as if sold between a willing buyer and a willing seller as a going concern using a standard market multi criteria approach combining market multiples, book value, discounted cash flow or comparable public transaction of which price is known (taking into account circumstances at the time of the valuation and making all necessary adjustments to the assumption being used) and acting in a reasonable manner.

(b) The limitation set forth in clause (a) shall not apply to any amounts borrowed under this Indenture and made directly or indirectly available, in any form whatsoever, to the Luxembourg Guarantor or to any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries.

120

Section 1408. Norwegian Limitations.

The Norwegian Financial Agreements Act shall not apply to this Indenture, except as required by § 2 of the Financial Agreements Act (if applicable). The liability of each Guarantor incorporated in Norway in its capacity as Guarantor (each a “Norwegian Guarantor”) shall be limited to USD $750,000,000, plus any interest, default interest, commissions, charges, fees and expenses due under any Indenture Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of any Norwegian Guarantor under this Indenture shall be limited by such mandatory provisions of sections 8-7 and/or 8-10 of the Norwegian Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 (the “Act”) regarding restrictions on a Norwegian limited liability company’s ability to grant guarantees, loans, security or other financial assistance. The obligations of the Norwegian Guarantors shall only be limited to the extent this is required from time to time, and the Norwegian Guarantors shall be liable to the fullest extent permitted by the Act as amended from time to time. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if a payment under this Indenture by a Norwegian Guarantor has been made in contravention of the limitations contained in this Section 1408, the Holders shall not be liable for any damages in relation thereto, and the maximum amount repayable by the Holders as a consequence of such contravention shall be the amount received from that Norwegian Guarantor.

Section 1409.

Irish Limitations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the obligations, liabilities and undertakings of Parent Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred to the extent that the same would (a) constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by section 82 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland (or any analogous provision of any other applicable law), or (b) constitute a breach of section 239 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland (or any analogous provision of any other applicable law).

Section 1410.

Swiss Financial Assistance.

(a) If and to the extent a Swiss Guarantor becomes liable under this Guarantee or any other Notes Document for obligations of the Issuer or any other Guarantor (other than the wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of such Swiss Guarantor) (the “Restricted Obligations”) and if complying with such obligations would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by such Swiss Guarantor or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss law and practice then applicable, such Swiss Guarantor’s aggregate liability for Restricted Obligations shall not exceed the amount of the Swiss Guarantor’s freely disposable equity (frei verfügbares Eigenkapital) at the time it becomes liable including, without limitation, any statutory reserves which can be transferred into unrestricted, distributable reserves, in accordance with Swiss law (the “Freely Disposable Amount”).

(b) This limitation shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time any Swiss Guarantor is required to perform Restricted Obligations under the Notes Documents. Such limitation shall not free such Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the Freely Disposable Amount, but merely postpone the performance date thereof until such times when such Swiss Guarantor has again freely disposable equity. The limitation set out in this

121

Section 1410 shall not apply to the extent such Swiss Guarantor guarantees or otherwise secures any amounts borrowed under any Notes Document which are on-lent to such Swiss Guarantor or to wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of such Swiss Guarantor.

(c) If the enforcement of the obligations of any Swiss Guarantor under the Notes Documents would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Indenture, such Swiss Guarantor shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and upon request by the Trustee, (i) write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale, however, only if such assets are not necessary for such Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and (ii) reduce its share capital to the minimum allowed under then applicable law, provided that such steps are permitted under the Notes Documents.

(d) Each Swiss Guarantor, and any direct holding company of the Swiss Guarantor which is a party to a Notes Document, shall procure that such Swiss Guarantor will take and will cause to be taken all and any action as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within 30 Business Days from the request of the Trustee, including, without limitation, (i) the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Indenture or any other Notes Documents, (ii) the provision of an audited interim balance sheet, (iii) the provision of a determination by such Swiss Guarantor of the Freely Disposable Amount based on such audited interim balance sheet, (iv) the provision of a confirmation from the auditors of such Swiss Guarantor that a payment by such Swiss Guarantor under the Notes Documents in an amount corresponding to the Freely Disposable Amount is in compliance with the provisions of Swiss corporate law which are aimed at protecting the share capital and legal reserves, and (v) the obtaining of any other confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time such Swiss Guarantor is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Indenture or any other Notes Document, in order to allow a prompt payment in relation to Restricted Obligations with a minimum of limitations.

(e) If so required under applicable law (including tax treaties) at the time it is required to make a payment under this Indenture, each Swiss Guarantor:

(i) shall use its best efforts to ensure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss withholding tax, or with deduction of Swiss withholding tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;

(ii) shall deduct the Swiss withholding tax at such rate (being 35% on the date hereof) as in force from time to time if the notification procedure pursuant to Section 1410(e)(i) above does not apply; or shall deduct the Swiss withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge of part of such tax by notification if the notification procedure pursuant to Section 1410(e)(i) applies for a part of the Swiss withholding tax only; and shall pay within the time allowed any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and

(iii) shall promptly notify the Trustee that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Trustee with evidence that such a notification

122

of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

(f) In the case of a deduction of Swiss withholding tax, each Swiss Guarantor shall use its best efforts to ensure that any person that is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss withholding tax deducted from such payment under this Indenture or any other Notes Document, will, as soon as possible after such deduction:

(i) request a refund of the Swiss withholding tax under applicable law (including tax treaties); and

(ii) pay to the Trustee upon receipt any amount so refunded.

(g) The Trustee shall co-operate with the Swiss Guarantor to secure such refund.

(h) To the extent any Swiss Guarantor is required to deduct Swiss withholding tax pursuant to this Guarantee, and if the Freely Disposable Amount is not fully utilised, such Swiss Guarantor will be required to pay an additional amount so that after making any required deduction of Swiss withholding tax the aggregate net amount paid to the Trustee is equal to the amount which would have been paid if no deduction of Swiss withholding tax had been required from such Swiss Guarantor, provided that (i) the aggregate amount paid (including the additional amount) shall in any event be limited to the Freely Disposable Amount (ii) such gross up is not explicitly prohibited under the applicable law or federal court practice, and (iii) such steps are permitted under the Notes Documents. In such case, if a refund of the Swiss withholding tax is made to a Holder, such Holder shall transfer the refund so received, after deduction of costs, to such Swiss Guarantor, subject to any right of set-off of such Holder pursuant to the Notes Documents.

(i) The Parent Guarantor hereby represents that it is not resident for tax purposes in Switzerland and is not subject to Swiss withholding tax.

Section 1411.

Parallel Debt.

(a) Each Guarantor, by way of an independent payment obligation, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent, as creditor in its own right and not as representative of the Holders, sums equal to and in the currency of each amount payable by such Guarantor to any of the Holders under the Indenture Obligations as and when that amount falls due for payment under the Indenture Obligations. The parties to this Indenture acknowledge and confirm that the parallel debt provisions contained herein shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the obligations under the Indenture Obligations.

(b) The obligations of each Guarantor under clause (a) above are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of such Guarantor to any Holder under the Indenture Obligations (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Guarantor is liable under clause (a) above (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt; provided, that: (x) the Collateral Agent shall not demand payment with regard to the Parallel Debt of any Guarantor to the extent that such Guarantor’s Corresponding Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee

123

obligations) discharged and (y) none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holder shall demand payment with regard to the Corresponding Debt of any Guarantor, to the extent that such Guarantor’s Parallel Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged.

(c) The Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as agent and it shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by each Guarantor, under this Section 1411. Collateral Agent may not assign or transfer any claim arising from the Parallel Debt other than to any successor agent.

(d) Any amount due and payable by a Guarantor, to the Collateral Agent in respect of a Parallel Debt under this Section 1411 shall be automatically decreased and discharged to the extent that such Guarantor has paid the corresponding amount under the Corresponding Debt and any amount due and payable by a Guarantor to the other applicable Holders under the Corresponding Debt shall be decreased to the extent that such Guarantor has paid the corresponding amount to the Collateral Agent under its Parallel Debt. The Guarantors shall have all objections and defenses against the Parallel Debt which they have against the Corresponding Debt. An Event of Default in respect of the payment of the Corresponding Debt shall constitute a default within the meaning of section 3:248 Netherlands Civil Code with respect to the payment of the Parallel Debt without any notice being required.

(e) The amount of the Parallel Debt of a Guarantor shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Corresponding Debt and the aggregate amount outstanding owed by the Guarantors under the Indenture Obligations at any time shall not exceed the amount of the Corresponding Debt at that time.

(f) The rights of the Trustee and the Holders (other than the Collateral Agent in its capacity as parallel debt creditor) to receive payment of amounts payable by each Guarantor, under the Corresponding Debt are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Collateral Agent to receive payment under the Parallel Debt.

Section 1412.

Dutch Covenants.

Any fiscal unity (fiscale eenheid) for Dutch tax purposes, of which a Note Party forms part of, shall consist of Note Parties and/or Restricted Subsidiaries only. Each Guarantor organized under the laws of the Netherlands shall be solely resident for tax purposes in the Netherlands and shall not have any permanent establishment or other taxable presence outside the Netherlands, unless with the prior written consent of the Trustee.

Section 1413.

German Limitation of Liability.

(a) In this Section 1413:

“Auditors’ Determination” shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 1413(f).

“Enforcement Notice” shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 1413(e).

124

“German Guarantor” means any Guarantor incorporated in Germany as (x) a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung - GmbH) (a “German GmbH Guarantor”) or (y) a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a limited liability company as general partner (a “German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor”) in relation to whom any of the Holders intends to demand payment under this Guarantee.

“Guaranteed Obligor” shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 1413(b).

“Management Determination” shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 1413(e).

“Net Assets” means the relevant company’s assets (Section 266 para. (2) A, B, C, D and E German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch)), less the aggregate of its liabilities (Section 266 para. (3) B (but disregarding any accruals (Rückstellungen) in respect of a potential enforcement of this Guarantee or any Transaction Security), C, D and E German Commercial Code), the amount of profits (Gewinne) not available for distribution to its shareholders in accordance with section 268 para. 8 German Commercial Code and the amount of its stated share capital (Stammkapital).

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 1413, each Holder agrees not to enforce the guarantee under this Indenture if and to the extent that the guarantee under this Indenture secures any liability of a Guarantor which is an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a German Guarantor (other than that German Guarantor’s wholly-owned Subsidiaries) (the “Guaranteed Obligor”) and if and to the extent that a payment under this Guarantee would cause that German Guarantor’s (or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG as Guarantor, its general partners’) Net Assets (determined pursuant to Section 1413(c), (e) and/or (f)) to be reduced below zero (Begründung einer Unterbilanz), or further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz) if already below zero.

(c) For the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des Stammkapitals) of the relevant German Guarantor after the date hereof that has been effected without the consent of the Holders, shall be deducted from the stated share capital at that time;

(ii) liabilities incurred by the relevant German Guarantor in violation of the Notes Documents; and

(iii) indebtedness which is subordinated to any Indebtedness outstanding under this Indenture (including indebtedness in respect of guarantees for financial indebtedness which is so subordinated),

shall be disregarded.

(d) In addition, the German Guarantor and, where the guarantor is a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, also its general partner, shall realize, to the extent legally permitted and

125

commercially reasonable with respect to the cost of such sale, in a situation where the enforcement of this Guarantee would cause the Net Assets to fall below zero or be further reduced if already below zero, any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the asset if such asset is not ncesessary for the German Guarantor’s or, as the case may be, its general partner’s, business (betriebsnotwendig).

(e) Upon receipt of a payment demand notice to any German Guarantor under this Guarantee (the “Enforcement Notice”), the relevant German Guarantor shall deliver to the Holders, without undue delay, but in any event no later than 10 Business Days after receipt of the Enforcement Notice, (i) a written response, including the extent, if any, to which this Guarantee should not be enforced, (ii) its up-to-date balance sheet or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its and its general partner’s up-to-date balance sheet, and (iii) a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of its Net Assets, taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 1413(c) (clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Management Determination”). The Management Determination shall be prepared as of the date of receipt of the Enforcement Notice.

(f) Following the Holders’ receipt of the Management Determination, upon request by the Holders, the relevant German Guarantor shall deliver to the Holders, within 30 Business Days of such request, (i) its up-to-date balance sheet or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its and its general partner’s up-to-date balance sheet, drawn-up by its auditor and (ii) a detailed calculation of the amount of the Net Assets taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 1413(c) (the “Auditor’s Determination”). Such balance sheet and Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles as consistently applied by the German Guarantors. The Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared as of the date of receipt of the Enforcement Notice.

(g) The Holders shall be entitled to demand payment under this Guarantee in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination or, if applicable and taking into account any previous enforcement in accordance with the Management Determination, the Auditor’s Determination, not cause the German Guarantor’s Net Assets, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner’s Net Assets, to be reduced below zero or further reduced if already below zero. If and to the extent that the Net Assets as determined by the Auditor’s Determination are lower than the amount enforced (i) in accordance with the Management Determination or (ii) without regard to the Management and/or Auditor’s Determination, the Holders shall release to the relevant German Guarantor (or in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor to its general partner) such excess enforcement proceeds.

(h) The restriction under Section 1413(b) shall not apply:

(i) to the extent that this Guarantee secures (A) any loans that are on-lent, otherwise been passed on or actually disbursed to the relevant German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries and not repaid or (B) any guarantees issued under this Guarantee for the benefit of the relevant German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries which are not returned;

126

(ii) if the relevant German Guarantor (as dominated entity) is subject to a domination and/or profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) (a “DPTA”) with the Guaranteed Obligor, whether directly or indirectly through a chain of DPTAs between each company and its shareholder (or in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor between its general partner and its shareholder) provided that the existence of that DPTA does prevent the violation of section 30 of the German Act on Companies with Limited Liabilities (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung);

(iii) if and to extent the relevant German Guarantor has on the date of enforcement of this Indenture a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) against its shareholder or the Guaranteed Obligor;

(iv) if and to the extent, despite being in a position to take measures as described above under Section 1413(d), the German Guarantor fails to take its best efforts to carry out such measures; or

(v) if a court order providing for the commencement of insolvency proceedings in respect of the assets of the German Guarantor has been issued.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall prevent the Trustee from enforcing its rights under this Indenture against a German Guarantor if and to the extent that such enforcement does not contravene the provisions, or such limitations are not required in order to protect the managing directors of a German Guarantor from incurring personal liability exposure with respect to breaches, of section 30 of the German Act on Companies with Limited Liability (as amended from time to time and as each interpreted by the German Federal Court).

(j) The limitations set forth in this Section 1413 shall not affect the right of a Holder to claim again any amount outstanding at a later point in time if and to the extent that this Section 1413 would allow this at such later point in time.

Section 1414.

English Law Limitations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the guarantee, indemnity or other obligation provided under this Indenture by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of England and Wales does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in such guarantee, indemnity or other obligation hereunder constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Xxx 0000 or any equivalent and applicable provisions under the laws of England and Wales.

Section 1415.

Section 1416.

Argentine Law Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, with respect to any and each of the Guarantors incorporated in Argentina (any such guarantor, an “Argentine Guarantor”), such Argentine Guarantor shall provide its consent for any renewal, extension, any change in, or any modification of, in any manner whatsoever, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Issuer or such Argentine Guarantor contained in the Notes or the Indenture.

(b) Each of the Argentine Guarantors hereby acknowledges and recognizes that it is in the best interest of the Parent Guarantor and its Affiliates that the Supplemental Indenture (substantially in the form of Annex B to this Indenture) be executed by the Argentine Guarantors.

(c)

(i) The parties hereto acknowledge that (a) this is part of a cross-border financing, (b) the transactions and disbursements made under the Notes are made and denominated in Dollars and (c) any and all payments to be made by any Argentine Guarantor hereunder shall be made exclusively in Dollars. The Argentine Guarantor waives (a) any right (including any right under Section 765 of the Argentine National Civil and Commercial Code (if applicable)) it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Notes in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable or (b) the right to invoke any defense of payment impossibility (including any defense under Section 1091 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code), or similar defenses or principles (including, without limitation, equity or sharing of efforts principles, impossibility to comply with the obligations under Section 1732 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code, “onerosidad sobreviviente,” “lesión enorme” or “abuso del derecho” under Section 10 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code). Nothing in this Indenture or the Notes shall impair any of the rights of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties or justify the Argentine Guarantor in refusing to make payments hereunder in Dollars for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any of the following: (a) the purchase of Dollars in Argentina by any means becoming more onerous or burdensome for the Borrower and/or the Argentine Guarantor than as of the date hereof and (b) the exchange rate in force in Argentina increasing significantly from that in effect as of the date hereof. Accordingly, the Argentine Guarantor assumes the risk

128

of, and takes responsibility for any present or future circumstance (including circumstances that may constitute events of force majeure) that may affect the foreign exchange market or any methods for obtaining Dollars, or prevent or make more burdensome the acquisition of Dollars owed hereunder, and it agrees, in any event, to honor all its obligations by the delivery of the exact amount of Dollars owed hereunder outside Argentina.

(ii) Each of the Argentine Guarantors hereby agrees that, if there is any restriction or prohibition to access to the Argentine foreign exchange market, or on the payment outside of Argentina of any amounts due under the Notes, or a requirement to have prior authorization of the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (Banco Central de la República Argentina) or of any other Authority, and such authorization is not obtained prior to the applicable payment date, the Argentine Guarantor shall, at its own expense, obtain the required amount of Dollars to pay the relevant amount, to the extent permitted by law, through (a) the purchase of any public or private bond or tradable debt or equity security listed in Argentina and denominated in Dollars, and transfer and sale of the same out of Argentina for the payment of the then-due amount in Dollars; (b) the purchase of the due amount in Dollars in any market in which it may be purchased, with any legal tender; or (c) any other lawful mechanism for the acquisition of Dollars. It is hereby clarified and understood that, in case new regulations prohibit the mechanisms referred to in (a) through (c) above, the parties (including the Argentine Guarantor) shall negotiate, in good faith, reasonable available alternatives for the Argentine Guarantor to fulfill its obligations under this Indenture. Any payment obligations shall only be discharged upon the receipt by each of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties of the full payment of all such payment obligations, in Dollars. Interest shall continue to accrue as specified in this Indenture and the Notes on any amounts that are not paid on the due date therefor as a result of the Argentine Guarantor or any other entity’s entering into or consummating any transaction to obtain Dollars to make any required payment hereunder or the Notes and such shall continue to accrue until full payment of such amount due is made to the relevant First Lien Notes Secured Party.

(iii) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Indenture, the Argentine Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and benefits set forth in Articles 1584 (Excepciones al beneficio de excusión), 1583 (Beneficio de excusión) the first paragraph of 1585 (Beneficio de excusión en xxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxx), 0000 (Xxxxxxx de la sentencia), 1589 (Beneficio de división), 1592 (Subrogación) (as long as there are any outstanding payment obligations under the Notes), 1594 (Derechos del fiador), 1595 (as long as there are any outstanding payment obligations under the Notes), 1596 (Causales de extinción), 1597 (Novación) and 1598 (Evicción) of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code. Furthermore, the Argentine Guarantor hereby waives the right to request the termination of this Indenture for any of the events set forth in items (b), (c) and (d) of Article 1596 (Causales de extinción) of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code.

Section 1508.

Collateral Agent.

(a) The Issuer and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents and the Issuer directs and authorizes and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, and consents and agrees to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and each Collateral Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms or the terms of this Indenture. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 1508. The provisions of this Section 1508 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders nor any of the Grantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Notes Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee or any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

134

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the Collateral Agent hereby undertakes, and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note authorize the Collateral Agent to:

(i) hold and administer, or as the case may be authorize and appoint, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Holders and beneficial owners of an interest in the Notes, any other person in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or First Lien Other Intercreditor Agreement (as applicable), any non-accessory Collateral (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Holders and beneficial owners of an interest in the Notes;

(ii) hold and administer any accessory Collateral (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of the Holders and beneficial owners of an interest in the Notes;

(iii) accept, enter into and execute, as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) granted in favor of any Holder under German law in connection with the Notes and to agree to and execute in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any Collateral Document governed by German law which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such Collateral.

(b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates, (a “Related Person”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith.

(c) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, or any other Notes

135

Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled (in the absence of bad faith) to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Grantor), independent accountants and/or other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. Unless otherwise expressly required hereunder or pursuant to any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents unless it shall first receive such written advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected from claims by any Holders in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Holders or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article Six or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 1508).

(f) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer

136

shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 1508 (and Section 607) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture. If the Collateral Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Collateral Agent.

(g) The Issuer and each of the Holders by its acceptance of the Notes, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, hereby authorizes the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, respectively, to appoint co-Collateral Agents, sub-agents and other additional Collateral Agents (and, in each case, appointment of such person shall be reflected in documentation, which the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to enter into). Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(h) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Initial Issuance Date, (ii) to enter into and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

(i) If applicable, the Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly

137

shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(j) The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes accompanied by, if requested, indemnity satisfactory to it or as otherwise provided in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder or any other Collateral Agent as to any of the foregoing.

(k) No provision of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) unless it shall have first received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this paragraph (k) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

(l) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for

138

interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent (a) shall be held uninvested without liability for interest, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (b) shall be held in a non-interest bearing trust account and (c) not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(m) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(n) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Notes Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Collateral Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Indenture Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Indenture Obligations under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Documents. No Collateral Agent shall be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting its obligations as expressly set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Notes Documents.

(o) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities,

139

claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the other Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. However, if the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset pursuant to this Indenture which in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any equivalent federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver.

(p) Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral Document to be executed after the Initial Issuance Date. Such Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 1508(p), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document. Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent (if any) to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.

(q) Subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto (including any releases permitted hereunder), and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise discretion under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or in any Collateral Document.

140

(r) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Collateral Documents.

(s) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and other Collateral Documents or and to the extent not prohibited under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(t) Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, in each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Notes Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Notes Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, if the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(u) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other Notes Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the other Notes Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC or PPSA financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments (or analogous procedures under the applicable laws in the relevant Covered Jurisdiction)), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(v) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer, the Guarantors, or the Trustee, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to its reasonable satisfaction. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(w) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and/or the Trustee solely with respect to the Collateral Documents and the Collateral.

141

(x) The Issuer shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and indemnify the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 607 hereof, with the references to the “Trustee” in Section 607 hereof deemed to include a reference to the Collateral Agent.

(y) The Issuer and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes acknowledges and directs that the benefits, indemnities, privileges, protections, and rights of Collateral Agent shall extend to (and may be claimed directly or by the Collateral Agent on behalf of) each sub-agent, as the case may be.

Section 1509.

Quebec Law Matters.

For the purposes of any grant of security under the laws of the Province of Quebec which may in the future be required to be provided by any Note Party, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed by each of the Holders to act as hypothecary representative (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Holders (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Quebec and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). Any Person who becomes a Holder or successor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Collateral Agent as the Hypothecary Representative on behalf of all Holders, including such Person and any Affiliate of such Person designated above as a Holder. For greater certainty, the Collateral Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Collateral Agent in this Indenture, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. In the event of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (which shall include its resignation as the Hypothecary Representative) and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall also act as the Hypothecary Representative, as contemplated above.

Section 1510.

Scottish Appointment Matters

The Collateral Agent declares that it holds in trust for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, on the terms contained in this Article Fifteen: (A) the Collateral expressed to be subject to the Liens created in favor of the Collateral Agent as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties by or pursuant to each Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland, and all proceeds of that Collateral; (B) all obligations expressed to be undertaken by any Note Party to pay amounts in respect of the Obligations to the Collateral Agent as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties and secured by any Collateral Document which is governed by or subject to the laws of Scotland together with all representations and warranties expressed to be given by any Note Party or any other Person in favor of the Collateral Agent as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties; and (C) any other amounts or property, whether rights, entitlements, choses in action or otherwise, actual or contingent, which the Collateral Agent is required by the terms of the Notes Documents to hold as trustee in trust for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties.

Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Article Fifteen, each of the Holders, and by their acceptance of the benefits of the Notes Documents and the other holders of Indenture Obligations hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to perform the duties, obligations

142

and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretion specifically given to the Collateral Agent as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties under or in connection with the Notes Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent in its capacity as trustee for the First Lien Notes Secured Parties shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Collateral Agent in this Indenture, which shall apply mutatis mutandis and the use of the term “trustee” in this section is a matter of Scottish custom and does not impose any obligations on the Collateral Agent to act as a “trustee” under New York law.

Section 1511.

Swiss Appointment Matters.

In relation to the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of Switzerland which provide for a non-accessory security interest (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheiten), the Collateral Agent shall hold and administer and, as the case may be, release and (subject to it having become enforceable) realize any such Collateral (including any and all benefits in connection with such Collateral Documents and any and all proceeds of such Collateral) on a fiduciary basis (treuhänderisch) for itself and for the benefit of all other First Lien Notes Secured Parties.

In relation to the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of Switzerland which provide for an accessory security interest (akzessorische Sicherheiten), the Collateral Agent shall hold and administer and, as the case may be, release and (subject to it having become enforceable) realize any such Collateral (including any and all benefits in connection with such Collateral Documents and any and all proceeds of such Collateral) for itself (including as creditor of the Parallel Debt) and as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of each other First Lien Secured Party and each present and future First Lien Secured Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in relation to any and all matters in connection with such Collateral Documents.

Section 1512.

Parallel Debt Collateral Matters.

The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands or by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany or by the laws of Switzerland and agree with the creation of Parallel Debt obligations as provided for in Section 1411. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Holders and the Note Parties, provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands or by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany or by the laws of Switzerland, any resignation by the Collateral Agent is not effective with respect to its rights and obligations under the Parallel Debts until such rights and obligations are assigned to the successor agent. The resigning Collateral Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights under the Parallel Debts to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands or by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany or by the laws of Switzerland to such successor agent.

8.75% Senior Secured First Lien Note due 2024

No.

Xxxxxxxxxxx International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (herein called the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of U.S. dollars on September 1, 2024, or such greater or lesser amount as may be indicated on the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note attached hereto, and to pay interest thereon from August 28, 2020 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 in each year, commencing March 1, 2021, at the rate of 8.75% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The Issuer shall pay (i) Defaulted Interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 2% higher than the applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful and (ii) Defaulted Interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate that is 2% higher than the applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful.

If the Holder of this Note has given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Issuer will make all payments on this Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account in the United States of America specified in those instructions. Otherwise, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in the United States of America in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and

[Form of Reverse of Note]

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of August 28, 2020 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors named therein, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control.

Except as set forth below and in the Indenture, the Issuer shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to August 28, 2021. On or after August 28, 2021, on any one or more occasions, the Issuer shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part at any time, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 28 of the years indicated below:

YEAR	PERCENTAGE
2021	104.375%
2022	102.188%
2023 and thereafter	100.000%

Prior to August 28, 2021, the Issuer may redeem on one or more occasions all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

(A) the principal amount thereof, plus

(B) the Make Whole Premium at the redemption date, plus

(C) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

The Notes may also be redeemed, as a whole, at the Issuer’s option, following Change of Control Offers, at the respective Redemption Prices and subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 1103(d) and 1007 of the Indenture, respectively.

Notice of any redemption upon any corporate transaction or other event (including any offering of Equity Interests, incurrence of Indebtedness, Change of Control or other transaction)

A-4

may be given prior to the completion thereof. In addition, any redemption or notice thereof may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction or other event. If any redemption is so subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice thereof shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), and/or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, and/or that such notice may be rescinded at any time by the Issuer if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied (or waived). In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note as well as certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default, as well as provisions for the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, if applicable, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes affected thereby (voting as a separate series). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance with certain covenants or provisions of the Indenture and certain existing 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 Note 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.

A-5

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Notes may be declared (or shall automatically become) due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy and offer and, if requested, provide the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office of the Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes 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 Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge, subject to the exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
