Section 2.5 Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Notes.
(a) The Global Notes initially shall:
(1) be registered in the name of the Depositary (or a nominee thereof); and
(2) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary.
Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. With respect to any Global Note deposited on behalf of the subscribers for the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary for credit to their respective accounts (or to such other accounts as they may direct) at Euroclear or Clearstream, the provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “Management Regulations” and “Instructions to Participants” of Clearstream, respectively, shall be applicable to the Global Notes.
(b) The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including DTC Participants and Persons that may hold interests through DTC Participants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes.
(c) A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary (or a nominee thereof), and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.
14
(d) If at any time:
(1) the Depositary notifies the Issuer in writing that it is no longer willing or able to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary for the Global Notes is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or cessation; or
(2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary for the issuance of Physical Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes;
the Depositary shall surrender such Global Note or Global Notes to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes, Physical Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note or Global Notes. Such Physical Notes shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall identify in writing as the beneficial owners of the Notes represented by such Global Note or Global Notes (or any nominee thereof).
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in a Global Note to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(d), the Registrar 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 interests in such Global Note to be transferred.
Section 2.6 Defaulted Interest.
If the Issuer fails to make a payment of interest on any Note when due and payable (“Defaulted Interest”), it shall pay such Defaulted Interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such Defaulted Interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Notes on which the interest is due on a subsequent Special Record Date. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Note. The Issuer shall fix any such Special Record Date and payment date for such payment. At least 15 days before any such Special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to Holders affected thereby a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Interest Payment Date and amount of such interest to be paid.
Section 2.7 Execution of Guarantee.
The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each Note. If the Issuer shall execute Physical Notes in accordance with Section 2.5, the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each such Note. Such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Officer of the Guarantor. The signature of any of these officers on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.
In case any Officer of the Guarantor who shall have signed the Guarantee endorsed on a Note shall cease to be such officer before the Note so signed shall be authenticated and delivered
15
by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Guarantor; and any Guarantee endorsed on a Note may be signed on behalf of the Guarantor by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Guarantee, shall be the proper officers of the Guarantor, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture any such person was not such an officer.
Section 2.8 Add On Notes.
The Issuer may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture Add On Notes having terms identical to those of the Outstanding Notes, except that Add On Notes:
(a) | may have a different issue date from other Outstanding Notes; |
(b) | may have a different first Interest Payment Date after issuance than other Outstanding Notes; |
(c) | may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes; and |
(d) | may have terms specified in Add On Note Board Resolutions or the Add On Note supplemental indenture for such Add On Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article 2 and Exhibit A hereto (and related definitions), as the case may be, applicable to such Add On Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Add On Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Add On Notes) and which shall not affect the rights, benefits, immunities or duties of the Trustee. |
In authenticating any Add On Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Add On Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:
(a) | the Add On Note Board Resolutions or Add On Note supplemental indenture relating thereto; |
(b) | an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 6.5; and |
(c) | an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 6.5 stating, |
(1) that the forms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;
16
(2) that the terms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;
(3) that such Notes and the related Guarantee, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer and the Guarantor in the manner provided for herein and in the Base Indenture and the Guarantee, respectively, subject to any customary conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor, respectively, entitled to the benefits provided in this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of such obligations may be subject to bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws or other similar laws, general principles of equity and such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude are customary or do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Notes;
(4) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of the Notes have been complied with; and
(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.
If such forms or terms have been so established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or an Add On Note supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes:
(1) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken;
(2) if the Trustee in good faith determines that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any Outstanding Notes; or
(3) if the issue of such Add On Notes pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits and immunities under the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8, the Issuer may not issue Add On Notes if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
17
ARTICLE 3
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
In addition to the covenants set forth in Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the additional covenants set forth in this Article 3.
Section 3.1 Payment of Additional Tax Amounts.
All payments of interest and principal by the Issuer under the Notes and by the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political sub-division thereof or by any authority therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will (a) withhold or deduct such amounts, (b) pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by a Holder after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount of interest and principal which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Tax Amounts”) and (c) pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant tax or other authority in accordance with applicable law, except that no such Additional Tax Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Note:
(1) to the extent that such Taxes are imposed or levied by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner) having some present or former connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the mere holding (or beneficial ownership) of such Note or receiving principal or interest payments on the Notes (including but not limited to citizenship, nationality, residence, domicile, or the existence of a business, permanent establishment, a dependant agent, a place of business or a place of management present or deemed present in the Taxing Jurisdiction);
(2) in respect of any Tax that would not have been so withheld or deducted but for the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Note to make a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled or otherwise comply with any reasonable certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction if (a) compliance is required by applicable law, regulation, administrative practice or treaty as a precondition to exemption from all or part of the Taxes, (b) the Holder (or beneficial owner) is able to comply with these requirements without undue hardship and (c) we have given the Holders (or beneficial owners) at least 30 calendar days prior notice that they will be required to comply with such requirement;
(3) in respect of any Tax imposed on a holder or a beneficial owner of the notes who is an individual resident of the European Union as a result of such holder or beneficial owner’s failure to provide the requisite information to the Issuer to allow such holder to take advantage of the exemption from the savings income tax provided in article 10 of the Land Ordinance on Savings Income in Curaçao;
18
(4) to the extent that such Taxes are imposed by reason of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property taxes imposed with respect to the Notes, except as otherwise provided in this Supplemental Indenture;
(5) to the extent that any such taxes would not have been imposed but for the presentation of such Notes, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Tax Amounts had the notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period; or
(6) any combination of items (1) through (5) above.
For purposes of this Section 3.1, “Taxes” means, with respect to payments on the Notes, all taxes, withholdings, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax.
Section 3.2 Stamp Tax.
The Issuer and the Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes or any other document or instrument in relation thereto.
Section 3.3 Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 8 of the Base Indenture, each of the Guarantor and the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantor shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Issuer and the Guarantor determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantor and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.
Section 3.4 Certificates of the Issuer and the Guarantor.
The Issuer and the Guarantor will each furnish to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, as to the signers’ knowledge of the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture). In the event an Officer of the Guarantor or an Officer of the Issuer comes to have actual knowledge
19
of an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, regardless of the date, the Guarantor or the Issuer shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying such Default and the nature and status thereof.
Section 3.5 Guarantor To Be the Sole Equityholder of the Issuer.
So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Guarantor or its successor will directly or indirectly own all of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Issuer.
Section 3.6 Limitation on Liens.
The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, upon any of its property or assets (including any shares of Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any subsidiary), whether owned or leased on the date of this Supplemental Indenture or hereafter acquired, to secure any Indebtedness incurred by the Guarantor or any subsidiary, without in any such case making effective provision whereby all of the Notes outstanding (together with, if the Guarantor so determines, any other Indebtedness by the Guarantor or any such subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes or the Guarantee) shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured unless, after giving effect to such Lien, the aggregate amount of secured Indebtedness then outstanding (excluding Indebtedness secured solely by Permitted Liens) plus the value (as defined in Section 3.7) of all Sale-Leaseback Transactions (other than those described in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of Section 3.7) then outstanding would not exceed 10% of the Guarantor’s Consolidated Net Worth.
Section 3.7 Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks.
The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction after the date of this Supplemental Indenture unless:
(a) | the Sale-Leaseback Transaction: |
(1) involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than five years;
(2) occurs within 270 days after the date of acquisition, completion of construction or completion of improvement of such property; or
(3) is with the Guarantor or one of its subsidiaries; or
(b) | the Guarantor or any subsidiary, within 270 days after the Sale-Leaseback Transaction shall have occurred, applies or causes to be applied an amount equal to the value of the property so sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangement to the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any subsidiary that is not subordinated to the Notes and that has a Stated Maturity of more than twelve months; or |
(c) | the Guarantor or such subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 3.6 to create, incur, issue or assume Indebtedness secured by a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on the property without equally and ratably securing the Notes. |
20
As used in this Section 3.7, the term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, as of any particular time an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale-Leaseback Transaction as determined by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of full years of remaining term of the lease (without regard to renewal options) and the denominator is the full years of the full term of the lease (without regard to renewal options).
Section 3.8 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer 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 to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture; and the Issuer (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 4.1 Optional Redemption.
The Issuer may at its option, redeem the Notes in whole or in part from time to time, on any date prior to Stated Maturity, upon notice as set forth in Section 4.2, at the Redemption Price plus any interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
Section 4.2 Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 6.4 to the Holders of Notes to be redeemed and to the Trustee. Such notice shall be given not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the intended Redemption Date.

21
Section 4.4 Tax Redemption.
(a) If, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulation thereunder) of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation or application of such laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or change of such laws, rules or regulations becomes effective on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, will be obligated to pay any Additional Tax Amount with respect to the Notes, and if such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), after taking measures it considers reasonable to avoid it, then at the option of the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, the Notes may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 20 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Holders of such Notes, at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the Redemption Date and any Additional Tax Amounts which would otherwise be payable; provided, however, that (1) no notice of such tax redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, would but for such redemption be obligated to pay such Additional Tax Amounts were a payment on such Notes then due, and (2) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Tax Amounts remains in effect.
(b) Before any notice of tax redemption pursuant to Section 4.4(a) is given to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the condition or conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor) so to redeem have occurred or been satisfied and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor) has or shall become obligated to pay Additional Tax Amounts as a result of a change or amendment described in Section 4.4(a). Such notice, once given to the Trustee, shall be irrevocable.
ARTICLE 5

Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer of officers of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.
Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or the Guarantor or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Issuer, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

Section 6.7 Conflict of any Provisions of Supplemental Indenture with Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
