there shall be (A) excluded in determining Consolidated EBITDA for any period the disposed EBITDA of any Person, property, business or asset (other than any Unrestricted Subsidiary) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, closed or classified as discontinued operations by Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary during such period (but if such operations are classified as discontinued due to the fact that they are subject to an agreement to dispose of such operations, only when and to the extent such operations are actually disposed of) (each such Person, property, business or asset so sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, closed or classified, a “Sold Entity or Business”), and the disposed EBITDA of any Restricted Subsidiary that is converted into an Unrestricted Subsidiary during such period (each, a “Converted Unrestricted Subsidiary”), in each case based on the disposed EBITDA of such Sold Entity or Business or Converted Unrestricted Subsidiary for such period (including the portion thereof occurring prior to such sale, transfer, disposition, closure, classification or conversion) determined on a historical Pro Forma Basis and (B) included in determining Consolidated EBITDA for any period in which a Sold Entity or Business is disposed, an adjustment equal to the Pro Forma Disposal Adjustment with respect to such Sold Entity or Business (including the portion thereof occurring prior to such disposal), and

iii.

Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased (with respect to losses) or decreased (with respect to gains) by, without duplication, any net realized gains and losses relating to (A) amounts denominated in foreign currencies resulting from the application of FASB ASC 830 (including net realized gains and losses from exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany balances and balance sheet items, net of realized gains or losses from related Swap Agreements (entered into in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice)) or (B) any other amounts denominated in or otherwise trued-up to provide similar accounting as if it were denominated in foreign currencies.

Section 1.05

Limited Condition Transactions.

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of any provision of this Indenture which will require that no Default or Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Issuer, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into.

Furthermore, in connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(1)

determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which will require the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio; or

(2)

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

Section 2.01

Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Issuer can issue Additional Notes from time to time in the future as part of the same series without consent from holders of the Notes under this Indenture. Any Additional Notes that the Issuer issues in the future will be identical in all respects to the Notes offered hereby and will be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including with respect to waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, except that Notes issued in the future may have different issuance prices and will have different issuance dates. However, in order for any Additional Notes to have the same CUSIP number as the Notes, such Additional Notes must be fungible with the Notes for United States federal income tax purposes.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02

Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile or other electronic signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture. There is no limit on the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes) that may be issued under this Indenture.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.03

Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the holders, and the Issuer or any of Holdings’ other Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Notes will initially be issued as Global Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee and therefore payments with respect thereto will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC.

Section 2.04

Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than Holdings, Issuer or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If Holdings, Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05

Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

Section 2.06

Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:

(1)

the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

(2)

the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Trustee; or

(3)

there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and the Registrar has received a written request from DTC or 30% of the Holders.

Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee in writing and the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

(1)

Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).

(2)

All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof.

(3)

Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:

(A)

if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(4) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(4).

(h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1)

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

(2)

No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.06, 4.10 and 9.05 hereof).

(3)

The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(4)

All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5)

Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer will be required:

(a) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(b) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

(c) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

(6)

Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(7)

The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(8)

All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

(j) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any 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, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(k) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Holder that is a member of (or a participant in) DTC or any 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 of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to the Notes. The Trustee and the Agents may rely (and shall be fully protected in relying) upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners in the Notes.

(l) Participants shall have no rights either under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Note Custodian as custodian for the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, any Agent 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 herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent or other 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 its Participants, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

Section 2.07

Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee for itself and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent, from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08

Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than Holdings, the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09

Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or 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, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10

Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11

Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee). Certification of the cancellation of such Notes will be delivered to the Issuer upon its written request. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes which are redeemed by or on behalf of the Issuer will be canceled and, accordingly, may not be reissued or resold. If the Issuer purchases any Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption unless such Notes are surrendered for cancellation.

Section 2.12

Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will send or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13

CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or offers to purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that the Trustee shall have no liability for any defect in the “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers as they appear on any Note, notice or elsewhere, and, provided further that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers.

Section 2.14

Additional Amounts.

(a)

All payments required to be made by or on behalf of the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes or by or on behalf of any Guarantor under or with respect to a Note Guarantee (the Issuer or such Guarantor and, in each case, any successor thereof, making such payment, the “Payor”), will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any authority or agency having power to tax within any jurisdiction in which any Payor is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or engaged in business for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such Payor (each a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such Payor is required to withhold or deduct such taxes by law or regulation.

(b)

If a Payor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, as applicable, such Payor will be required to pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by any Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the Holder or beneficial owner would have received if such taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:

(1) any taxes that would not have been (or would not be required to be) so imposed, withheld, deducted or levied but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the relevant Holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, company or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a citizen, domiciliary, national or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein (other than any connection arising solely from the acquisition or holding of any Note, the receipt of any payments in respect of such Note or Note Guarantee or the exercise or enforcement of rights under a Note or Note Guarantee);

(7) any taxes payable under Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as of the Issue Date of the Notes (or any amended or successor version), any regulations or official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection therewith, or any law or regulation adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code;

(1)

the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(2)

the redemption date;

(3)

the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

(4)

the redemption price.

Section 3.02

Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time in connection with an optional redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed, then in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC or, if the Notes are not represented by note certificates in global form, on a pro rata basis, by lot or such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate.

In the event of partial redemption or purchase, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes with a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or less may not be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03

Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or send electronically if the Notes are held by DTC, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or Article 11 hereof.

The notice will identify the Notes (including CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers) to be redeemed and will state:

(1)

the date fixed for redemption of such Notes;

(2)

the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid;

(3)

the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(4)

that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(5)

that unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, interest, if any, on Notes or portions of them called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(6)

that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of such Notes;

(7)

that, if less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes and the principal amount (or portion thereof) of such Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

(8)

whether the redemption is conditioned on any events and what such conditions are;

(9)

the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(10)

that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

Any notice of redemption may be given prior to the completion of any event or transaction related to such redemption, and any such redemption or notice may be subject to one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will state that, in the discretion of the Issuer, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions have been satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions have not been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. If one or more conditions specified with respect to a redemption are not satisfied or waived, the redemption date shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Indenture and the Issuer shall give notice of such non-occurrence to the Holders of the applicable Notes and to the Trustee.

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at their expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 15 days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date the notice of redemption is to be sent to Holders, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in the Officer’s Certificate described in Section 3.01.

The Issuer may provide in any notice of redemption that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Section 3.04

Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price, subject to the satisfaction of any condition set forth in the notice of redemption.

Section 3.05

Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

By 12:00 p.m. New York time on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes.

Section 3.06

Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender and cancellation of a Definitive Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Definitive Note in the name of the Holder equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Definitive Note surrendered upon cancellation of the original Definitive Note.

(1)

a change in, or an amendment to, the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or

(2)

any change in, amendment to, or introduction of any official published position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws or treaties (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder and including the decision of any court, governmental agency or tribunal),

in each case which change, amendment or introduction is publicly announced and becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the date of this Indenture, such later date) and the Payor cannot avoid such obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it (including making payment through a paying agent located in another jurisdiction), provided that such Payor will not be required to take any measures that would result in the imposition on it of any material legal or regulatory burden or the incurrence by it of any material additional costs, or would otherwise result in any material adverse consequences. The notice of redemption described in Section 3.08(a) hereof shall not be delivered (a) more than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which such Payor would be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts, and (b) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption described in Section 3.08(a) hereof, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Payor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it.

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; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. 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.

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of Holdings is or becomes a Guarantor of the Notes, Holdings may satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.03 with respect to financial information relating to Holdings by furnishing financial information relating to any direct or indirect parent of Holdings as may exist at any time in the future (any such entity the “Future Parent Entity”) instead of Holdings; provided that to the extent either (x) such Future Parent Entity holds assets (other than its direct or indirect interest in Holdings) that exceed 2.5% of the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of such fiscal period end or (y) such Future Parent Entity has revenues (other than revenue of Holdings and its Subsidiaries) that exceed 2.5% of the total revenue of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the immediately preceding fiscal period, then such information related to such Future Parent Entity shall be accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information of such Future Parent Entity, on the one hand, and the information relating to Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand.

(f)

For purposes of this Section 4.03, Holdings will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders if Holdings has filed such reports with the SEC via the XXXXX filing system and such reports are publicly available; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether or not Holdings shall have made such filings.

(b)

So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, Holdings or the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon any Officer obtaining knowledge of any Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Event of Default, the status thereof and what action it has taken or proposes to take to remedy such Event of Default.

(a)

Holdings will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a Lien, unless:

(2)

in the case of any Lien on any asset or property that is not on any asset or property constituting Collateral, the Notes (or a Guarantee in the case of Liens on assets or property of a guarantor) are secured on a pari passu basis with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Lien secures any subordinated indebtedness) the Obligations secured by such Lien until such time as such Obligations are no longer secured by such Lien.

(9)

extensions, renewals or replacements of any Lien existing on, or contractually obligated to be granted within a period of time following, the Issue Date (other than Liens securing indebtedness under the Credit Facilities) or any Lien referred to above; provided that (i) the principal amount of indebtedness secured thereby may not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any unused commitments under any revolving credit facilities) so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement (plus the amount of all fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith), and such extension, renewal or replacement will be limited to all or a part of the property (plus improvements and construction on such property), shares of Capital Stock or indebtedness that was subject to the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced and (ii) such new Lien does not rank senior in priority to the original Lien;

Section 4.07

(a)

Holdings will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor to create, assume, incur, issue or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money (any such indebtedness of a non-guarantor Subsidiary, “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary Debt”), unless such Restricted Subsidiary guarantees the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on a senior secured basis.

Section 4.10

Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(a)

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the repurchase date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Issuer will send a notice to the Trustee and each Holder stating:

(1)

that a Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the repurchase date);

(2)

the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control Repurchase Event;

(3)

the repurchase date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) (which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, except that such notice may be delivered more than 60 days prior to the repurchase date in connection with a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer made in advance of the occurrence of a Change of Control, if such repurchase date is delayed or changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control); and

(4)

if such notice is delivered in advance of the occurrence of a Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned upon the occurrence of such Change of Control and setting forth a brief description of the definitive agreement for the Change of Control; and

(5)

that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the applicable Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws, rules and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws, rules or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws, rules and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

(b)

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

(1)

accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2)

deposit with the applicable Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3)

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.

The applicable Paying Agent will promptly send (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered 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 surrendered, if any. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

Notes repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will be canceled at the option of the Issuer. Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding paragraph will have the status of Notes issued and outstanding.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes upon the consummation of a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (ii) notice of redemption of all outstanding notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 of this Indenture, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price or (iii) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Issuer has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the repurchase date), and has purchased all notes properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. Any Alternate Offer shall specify a repurchase date which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such Alternate Offer is made.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of the occurrence of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon the occurrence of 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 or Alternate Offer. The closing date of any such Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer made in advance of a Change of Control may be delayed or changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control; provided that such closing date is not earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer notice is sent, except that such notice may be delivered more than 60 days prior to the repurchase date in connection with a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer made in advance of the occurrence of a Change of Control, if such repurchase date is delayed or changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control.

(e)

In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer (or any other Person making such tender offer) purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such tender offer, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to the price offered to each Holder in such tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, to but excluding the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Section 4.11

Issuer shall be a Subsidiary of Holdings.

For as long as the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall remain a subsidiary of Holdings or Future Parent Entity (such Holdings or Future Parent Entity shall, directly or indirectly, own 100% of the equity interests of the Issuer).

ARTICLE 5

Section 5.02

Successor Corporation Substituted.

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer or Holdings in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Issuer or Holdings is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to “Holdings” or “Issuer” as the case may be, shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Issuer or Holdings), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer or Holdings under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as Issuer or Holdings herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Issuer or Holdings shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of the Issuer’s or Holdings’ assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01

Events of Default.

Each of the following events is an “Event of Default”:

(1)

the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(2)

the failure to pay the principal on any Notes, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise;

(3)

the failure of the Issuer or any Guarantor to comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, which default continues for a period of 90 days after the Issuer receives written notice specifying the default (or 120 days after such a notice in the event of a Default under Section 4.03 hereof) (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture) (except in the case of a default with respect to Sections 5.01 or 10.04 hereof, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

(4)

the occurrence of any default under any agreement governing indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries if that default:

(a)

is caused by the failure to pay at final maturity the principal amount of any indebtedness after giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions of time for payment of such indebtedness; or

(b)

results in the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such indebtedness,

and in each case, the aggregate principal amount of such indebtedness unpaid or accelerated aggregates $150.0 million or more and has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 60 days of such final maturity or acceleration;

(5)

Holdings or the Issuer:

(a)

commences a voluntary case,

(b)

consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(c)

consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,

(d)

makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors,

(e)

generally is not paying its debts as they become due and has lost its creditworthiness; or

(f)

commences any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium, reorganization process or other process under similar laws affecting the rights of creditors in the United Kingdom; or

(6)

a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(a)

is for relief against Holdings or the Issuer in an involuntary case;

(b)

appoints a Custodian of Holdings or the Issuer; or

(c)

orders the liquidation of Holdings or the Issuer;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days;

(7)

the failure of any Note Guarantee by Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee and this Indenture) or any of the Guarantors denies its liability under its Note Guarantee and such default continues for 10 days;

(8)

unless all the Collateral has been released from the Liens in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Issuer or any Guarantor asserts, in any pleading in a court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Guarantor, the Issuer fails to cause such Guarantor to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Issuer has actual knowledge of such assertions; or

(9)

the Issuer or any Guarantor fails to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained herein or in the Security Documents, except for a failure that would not be material to the whole of the Notes and without materially affecting the value of the Collateral taken as a whole.

Section 6.02

Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes will become immediately due and payable without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee by notice in writing to Holdings or the Issuer or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice in writing to Holdings or the Issuer and the Trustee may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable, which notice must also specify that it is a “notice of acceleration.” Upon any such declaration of acceleration, the Notes will become immediately due and payable.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(a)

if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(b)

if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except non-payment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(c)

to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(d)

if the Issuer has paid the Trustee all amounts it is owed under this Indenture; and

(e)

in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01 hereof; provided that the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.03

Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04

Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05

Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, indemnity and security satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, against any loss, liability or expense. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines in good faith that withholding notice is in their interest.

Section 6.06

Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1)

such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2)

Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)

such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4)

the Trustee does not pursue such remedy within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5)

during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearance are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

Section 6.07

Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08

Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09

Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order (subject to the Intercreditor Agreements):

First: to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under this Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11

Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

(a)

If an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(2)

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).

(c)

The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, except that:

(1)

this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

(2)

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; and

(3)

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 6.05 hereof.

(d)

Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 7.01.

(e)

No provision of this Indenture or the Notes Documents will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense.

(f)

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.

(g)

Every provision of this 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 7.01.

Section 7.02

Rights of Trustee and Collateral Agent.

(a)

The Trustee and Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person and need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee and Collateral Agent, if applicable, shall receive and retain financial reports of the Issuer as provided herein, but shall have no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance with covenants or other obligations of the Issuer.

(b)

Before the Trustee or Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. Neither the Trustee nor Collateral Agent will be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee and Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c)

The Trustee and Collateral Agent may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d)

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

(e)

Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer.

(f)

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g)

The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee under this Indenture, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are also given to and shall be enforceable by (i) the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, (ii) to each agent of the Trustee, (iii) to the Collateral Agent and each other Agent, (iv) Notes Custodian, and (v) each other Person, employed to act hereunder. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt in any interpretation of a relevant section of this Indenture that relates to the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, such section shall be construed as including each agent, custodian and each other Person employed to act hereunder.

(h)

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter unless such fact or matter is actually known to a Responsible Officer.

(i)

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have received from the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or from any Holder written notice at its respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and states that it is a “notice of default”. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee and Collateral Agent may conclusively assume that no Default or Event of Default exists.

(j)

Whenever in the administration of this Indenture, the Notes or the other Notes Documents, the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.

(k)

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, judgment, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, during business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books, records and premises of Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(l)

The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(m)

The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, the Notes or the other Notes Documents.

(n)

In no event shall the Trustee or Collateral Agent be liable to any Person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.

(o)

The permissive rights of the Trustee and Collateral Agent to do things enumerated in this Indenture and the Notes Documents shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

Section 7.03

Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.09 and 7.10 hereof.

Section 7.04

Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05

Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will send to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within the later of 90 days after it occurs or promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such event. 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.

Section 7.06

[Reserved].

Section 7.07

Compensation and Indemnity.

(a)

The Issuer will pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as mutually agreed to in writing. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.

(b)

The Issuer and the Guarantors will, in the case of a Guarantor incorporated in Switzerland subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.02(c), jointly and severally, indemnify each of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it (including reasonable attorneys’ and agents’ fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be directly attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.

(d)

To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will 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 of, premium on, if any, or interest on, particular Notes. Such lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e)

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under applicable law, when the Trustee or the Collateral Agent incurs fees or expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, the fees, expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08

Replacement of Trustee.

(a)

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

(b)

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(1)

the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

(2)

the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3)

a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4)

the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(c)

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

(d)

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may at the expense of the Issuer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e)

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f)

A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents. The successor Trustee will send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09

Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee 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 Trustee.

Section 7.10

Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01

Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, evidenced by a resolution of its Board of Directors accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02

Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on written request of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1)

the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and the premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(2)

the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

(3)

the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors in connection therewith; and

(4)

this Article 8, as it relates to Legal Defeasance.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03

Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.06, 4.07 and 4.08 hereof and Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(3), (4), and (7) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04

Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof:

(1)

The Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars or non-callable U.S. government obligations, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on an applicable redemption date;

(2)

in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

(a)

the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(b)

since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; provided, however, such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required if all the Notes will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee;

(3)

in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4)

no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than any default arising from the substantially contemporaneous incurrence of indebtedness to fund the deposit described above in clause (1));

(5)

such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture (other than any default arising from the substantially contemporaneous incurrence of indebtedness to fund the deposit described above in clause (1)) or any other material agreement or instrument to which Holdings, the Issuer or any of their Subsidiaries is a party or by which Holdings, the Issuer or any of their Subsidiaries is bound;

(6)

the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others;

(7)

the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

(8)

the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that either (i) the Issuer has assigned all its ownership interest in the trust funds to the Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated and appointed by the Trustee as co-Trustee for this purpose) or (ii) the Trustee has a valid perfected security interest in the trust funds.

Section 8.05

Cash or Non-Callable U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all cash or non-callable U.S. government obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including Holdings, the Issuer or any of their Subsidiaries acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. government obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the written request of the Issuer any cash or non-callable U.S. government obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06

Repayment to Issuer.

Subject to unclaimed property laws, any cash deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to 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, will thereupon cease.

Section 8.07

Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable U.S. government obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

Section 9.01

Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to:

(1)

cure any ambiguities, defect, inconsistency or mistake;

(2)

provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s or Guarantor’s assets in accordance with the requirements of Article 5 hereof or Section 10.04 hereof, as applicable;

(3)

provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code);

(4)

add any Person as a Guarantor of the Notes or secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees;

(5)

comply with the rules of any applicable Depositary;

(6)

evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee, Collateral Agent or Paying Agent; provided that the successor Trustee, Collateral Agent or Paying Agent is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture;

(7)

make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder;

(8)

conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Circular, to the extent that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent have received an Officer’s Certificate stating that such text constitutes an unintended conflict with the corresponding provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Circular;

(9)

add additional assets as Collateral, release Collateral from the Lien pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents when permitted or required by this Indenture, the Security Documents and/or the Intercreditor Agreements; or

(10)

modify the Security Documents and/or the Intercreditor Agreements to secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors holding Obligations that are permitted to constitute Pari Passu Lien Obligations or Priority Lien Obligations under the Security Documents pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment, and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment to the Notes Documents authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, security document or intercreditor agreement that affects its own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02

With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Event of Default (other than an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by resolutions of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment, and upon delivering to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment to the Notes Documents unless such amended or supplemental indenture, security document or intercreditor agreement affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, security document or intercreditor agreement

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will send to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1)

reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

(2)

reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Note;

(3)

reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or change the date on which the Notes may be subject to redemption or repurchase (other than by amending the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof), or reduce the redemption or repurchase price for such Notes;

(4)

make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(6)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may (A) make any change in any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral with the effect of releasing the Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral which secure the Notes Obligations or (B) change or alter the priority of the Liens securing the Notes Obligations in any material portion of the Collateral in any way materially adverse, taken as a whole, to the holders of the Notes, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements then in effect, as applicable.

Section 9.03

[Reserved].

Section 9.04

Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05

Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee at the request of the Issuer may cause the Notes Custodian to place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06

Trustee and Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent will sign any amended or supplemental indenture, security document or intercreditor agreement authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Issuer may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture, security document or intercreditor agreement until its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, security document or intercreditor agreement, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, security document or intercreditor agreement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or supplemental indenture, security document or intercreditor agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, enforceable against the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01

Guarantee.

(a)

Subject to this Article 10 and the Agreed Security Principles, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1)

the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof (including enforcement of this Guarantee) and thereof; and

(2)

in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same (or, in the case of any Australian Guarantor, an amount equal to the same) immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b)

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes or any amendment with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against an Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c)

If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either an Issuer or a Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d)

Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

(e)

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Finnish Guarantor acknowledges that entering into this Indenture is in its best interests and is based on commercial grounds.

Section 10.02

Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

(a)

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(b)

Any Excluded Entity will not become, and will be under no obligation to become, a Guarantor on the Notes.

(c)

[Insert any other jurisdictional limitations]²

(d)

Limitation on Note Guarantees by English Guarantors. The Guarantee and/or any obligation of any Guarantor in any Notes Document does not apply to the extent that it would result in such Guarantee or obligation constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Xxx 0000.

(e)

Limitation on Note Guarantees by French Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any guarantee, indemnity, obligation and/or liability granted, incurred, undertaken, assumed or otherwise agreed by any Guarantor incorporated in France shall be limited to the following:

(1) any guarantee, indemnity or other obligation provided herein by a Guarantor incorporated in France shall not include any obligation or liability which if incurred would constitute the provisions of financial assistance within the meaning of article L.225-216 of the French Code de commerce or/and would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of article L. 241-3, L. 242-6 or L. 244-1 of the French Code de commerce or any other law or regulations having the same effect, as interpreted by French courts and/or would infringe article L. 511-7 of the French Code monétaire et financier;

(2) the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor incorporated in France under this Indenture for the obligations under this Indenture of (i) any other Guarantor which is not a Subsidiary of such Guarantor incorporated in France or (ii) the Issuer will be limited, at any time to an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the Notes under the Indenture directly or indirectly on-lent to such Guarantor incorporated in France under intercompany loan agreements and outstanding at the date a payment is to be made by such Guarantor incorporated in France under this Indenture, it being specified that any payment made by such Guarantor incorporated in France under this Indenture in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor or the Issuer will reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intercompany loans due by such Guarantor incorporated in France under the intercompany loan arrangements referred to above and that any repayment of the intercompany loans by the Guarantor incorporated in France shall reduce pro tanto the amount payable under this Indenture;

² NTD: Insert any other jurisdictional limitations.

(3) The obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor incorporated in France under this Indenture for the obligations under the Indenture of any other Guarantor which is its Subsidiary shall not be limited and shall therefore cover all amounts due by such Guarantor. However, where such Subsidiary is itself a Guarantor which guarantees the obligations of a member of the Group which is not a Subsidiary of the relevant Guarantor incorporated in France, the amounts payable by such Guarantor incorporated in France under this paragraph (3) in respect of the obligations of its Subsidiary as Guarantor, will be limited as set out in paragraph (2) above;

(4) It is acknowledged that no Guarantor incorporated in France is acting jointly and severally with the other Guarantors as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee given pursuant to this Indenture;

(5) For the purpose of paragraphs (2) and (3) above, Subsidiary means, in relation to any company, another company which is controlled by it within the meaning of article L.233-3 of the French Code de commerce.

Section 10.03

Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D hereto) shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

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

Section 10.04

Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

(a)

No Guarantor (other than Holdings, and it being understood that Holdings may consolidate or merge with or into any other Person as provided for in Section 5.01) may consummate a Division as a Dividing Person (whether or not the Issuer or Holdings is the surviving person) or consolidate or merge with or into any other Person, or sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such Guarantor unless:

(1)

the Person formed by such consolidation or into which such Guarantor is merged, or the Person which acquires by lease, sale or transfer all or substantially all of the property and assets of such Guarantor, or the Division Successor surviving any Division, as the case may be, is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, Australia, any state in the United States or the District of Columbia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Union or, if such guarantor was organized and existing under the laws of another jurisdiction immediately prior to such transaction, the laws of such other jurisdiction (such Person, the “Successor Guarantor”);

(2)

the Successor Guarantor or the Division Successor (if other than such Guarantor) formed by such consolidation or into which such Guarantor is merged, or the Successor Guarantor which acquires by lease, sale or transfer all or substantially all of the property and assets of such Guarantor, agrees to pay the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Notes, perform and observe all covenants and conditions of this Indenture and the Security Documents by executing and delivering to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent a Supplemental Indenture and, if applicable, joinders or supplements to the Security Documents; and

(3)

immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating indebtedness for borrowed money that becomes an obligation of such Successor Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by such Successor Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the Successor Guarantor or the Division Successor, as applicable, by Supplemental Indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such Successor Guarantor or Division Successor will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor and such Guarantor’s Notes Obligations will automatically be released and discharged. Such Successor Guarantor or Division Successor thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

(b)

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may (a) consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) merge or consolidate with an affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Guarantor in another jurisdiction.

Section 10.05

Releases.

The obligations of any Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged when any of the following occurs:

(a)

in connection with any sale or other disposition (including by merger, liquidation or otherwise) of (i) Capital Stock of the guarantor after which such guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of Holdings, or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of such guarantor (other than Holdings), in each case, which sale or other disposition complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(b)

if Holdings properly designates the Guarantor (other than Holdings) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Indenture;

(c)

solely in the case of a Note Guarantee created pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof upon, the release or discharge of the Note Guarantee or incurrence of indebtedness that resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee or incurrence of indebtedness pursuant to that covenant, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee or incurrence of indebtedness;

(d)

upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof;

(e)

upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding and all other obligations under this Indenture and the Notes then due and owing;

(f)

pursuant to Article 9 hereof; or

(g)

in the case of any guarantor (other than Holdings), upon the release of such guarantee under both Credit Facilities (which release under such Credit Facilities may be conditioned upon the concurrent release of the guarantee of the Notes hereunder), except by reason of the termination or repayment in full of the Credit Facilities.

Upon any occurrence giving rise to a release of a Note Guarantee as specified above, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer and at the Issuer’s expense in order to evidence or effect such release, termination and discharge in respect of such guarantee. None of the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee will be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Note Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Opinions of Counsel will not be required in connection with the release of any Guarantor (and the release of any Collateral owned by such Guarantor) permitted by this Indenture.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01

Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes and certain rights of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in connection therewith) as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(1)

either:

(a)

all the existing authenticated and delivered Notes (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b)

all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year (including by way of irrevocable written instructions delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee to effect the redemption of the Notes), and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, funds in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not already delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable written instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(2)

the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(3)

the Issuer has, upon its request for written acknowledgment of such satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, Section 7.07 hereof will survive and if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive.

Section 11.02

Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including an Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 12

COLLATERAL

Section 12.01

Collateral.

(a) The Notes Obligations owing to the Secured Parties shall be secured by a Lien on the Fixed Asset Collateral on a first-priority basis and secured by a Lien on the Current Asset Collateral on a second-priority basis, in each case subject to Permitted Liens and the Intercreditor Agreements, as provided in this Indenture and the Security Documents to which the Issuer and the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall become parties to on the Issue Date or thereafter and will be secured by all of the Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Documents delivered on the date hereof or hereafter delivered as required or permitted by this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. The Issuer, for the benefit of the Holders, hereby appoints Wilmington Trust, National Association as the initial Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder by its acceptance of any Notes and the Guarantees thereof, irrevocably consents and agrees to such appointment.

(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes and the Guarantees, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral and the automatic amendments, supplements, consents, waivers and other modifications thereto without the consent of the Holders) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements in accordance therewith.

(c) The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Guarantees, acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral as hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Secured Parties, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents in respect of the Secured Parties is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and actions that may be taken thereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, (a) the provisions of this Article 12 shall not require the creation or perfection of pledges of or security interests in, or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or the provision of Guarantees by any Subsidiary (i) in respect of the Issuer and the Guarantors that are Domestic Subsidiaries, if such assets constitute Excluded Assets, (ii) in respect of non-U.S. Guarantors, other than in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles and/or (iii) if the grant or perfection of a security interest in such asset would (A) be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment provisions of any applicable law (other than anti-assignment provisions included in general banking conditions), (B) violate the terms of any contract (to the extent binding on such property at the time of the acquisition thereof and not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition) (in each case, after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC or other applicable law) or (C) trigger termination of any contract pursuant to any “change of control” or similar provision (to the extent binding on such property at the time of the acquisition thereof and not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition); provided that the Collateral shall include any proceeds and/or receivables (other than to the extent constituting Excluded Assets) arising out of any contract described in this clause (iii) to the extent the assignment of such proceeds or receivables is expressly deemed effective under the UCC or other applicable law (and in respect of any non-U.S. Guarantors, is otherwise effective) notwithstanding the relevant prohibition, violation or termination right, (b) Liens required to be granted from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the Agreed Security Principles and in the Security Documents as in effect on the Issue Date, (c) the Collateral Agent shall not be authorized hereunder to take any perfection actions with respect to assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor consisting of (A) commercial tort claims with a value less than $20,000,000, (B) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title, (C) letter of credit rights that cannot be perfected by filing a financing statement under the UCC, (D) promissory notes evidencing debt for borrowed money in a principal amount individually or in an aggregate of less than $20,000,000 and (E) (i) the Capital Stock of any Immaterial Subsidiary and/or (ii) the Capital Stock of a Person that is not a subsidiary, which Person, if a subsidiary, would constitute an Immaterial Subsidiary, (d) unless also required pursuant to the terms of the ABL Facility, neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be required to seek any landlord lien waiver, estoppel, warehouseman waiver or other collateral access or similar letter or agreement and (e) in respect of any Subsidiary which is formed or acquired after the Issue Date, the requirement to provide a Note Guarantee and Collateral by such Subsidiary shall apply on the date set forth in Section 12.05.

Section 12.02

Section 12.03

Certain Post-Closing Obligations.

Within 120 days of the Issue Date the Issuer will, and will cause each applicable Guarantor to, execute a Security Document and take such other actions as are necessary such that the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be secured by and perfected in the same assets which, as of the Issue Date, secure the obligations under the Credit Facilities (subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents).

Section 12.11

Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements.

The provisions in this Indenture relating to Collateral are subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. The Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and, by accepting the Notes, the Holders acknowledge and agree to be bound by the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

Section 12.12

Collateral Agent.

(a) The Collateral Agent agrees to act as Collateral Agent on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.12. The provisions of this Section 12.12 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (and where provided, the Trustee) and none of the Holders, the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the 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, any Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture or the other Notes Documents. 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.

(b) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective related persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the 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 Notes Document or the transactions contemplated thereby. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Collateral Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

³ NTD: Covered by the security agreement.

102

(c) The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents unless it shall first receive such 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 loss, 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 in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture and the Notes 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.

(d) Wilmington Trust, National Association shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. None of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents 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 and Trustee shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor 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 of the property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security 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 or any Notes Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as instructed pursuant to the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security 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 (f) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuers or the Holders to be sufficient.

103

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Notes 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 or as instructed pursuant to the Security Documents. 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 or the Notes Documents. If the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain acting 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 (accompanied by, if requested, indemnity or security satisfactory to the Collateral Agent), and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(h) 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 financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, (i) the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or priority of any of the Notes Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby, (ii) the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, the Issuer’s or Guarantors’ rights therein, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein, or (iii) any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Guarantor under this Indenture or the Notes Documents or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture or the Notes Documents.

(i) By its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder is deemed to have consented to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Notes Documents, and authorized and directed the Collateral Agent and the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Security Document and Intercreditor Agreement to which it is a party.

(j) Whether or not expressly provided in any Security Document, in entering into and performing under any Security Document, the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, immunities or indemnities granted to them under this Indenture, as if the provisions herein setting forth such rights, privileges, immunities or indemnities were set forth therein.

(k) The Collateral Agent may resign or be removed and a successor be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.08 and 7.09, with the references therein to “Trustee” deemed to be references to “Collateral Agent.”

(l) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value (or diminution of value) of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for recording, filing, re-recording or refiling any financing statement (or amendment thereto), continuation statement, termination statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times or to otherwise take any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the Security Documents or otherwise. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in their possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in their possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which they accord their own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in good faith. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents by the Issuer or the Guarantors.

104

(m) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, in giving any consent or approval under the Security Documents, shall be entitled to receive, as a condition to such consent or approval, an Officer’s Certificate stating that the action or omission for which consent or approval is to be given is authorized and permitted according to the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in giving such consent or approval on the basis of such Officer’s Certificate.

Section 12.13

Parallel Liability

In this Section 12.13: “Corresponding Liabilities” means the Notes Obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor, but excluding its Parallel Liability; and “Parallel Liability” means the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ undertaking pursuant to this Section 12.13.

(a)

Each of the Issuer and each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount of its Corresponding Liabilities (as these may exist from time to time).

(b)

The parties hereto agree that:

(1)

each of the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s Parallel Liability is due and payable at the same time as, for the same amount of and in the same currency as its Corresponding Liabilities;

(2)

each of the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s Parallel Liability is decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Liabilities have been irrevocably paid or discharged and its Corresponding Liabilities are decreased to the extent that its Parallel Liability has been irrevocably paid or discharged;

(3)

the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s Parallel Liability is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Corresponding Liabilities, and constitutes a single obligation of the Issuer or such Guarantor to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (even though the Issuer or such Guarantor may owe more than one Corresponding Liability to the Secured Parties under the Notes Documents) and an independent and separate claim of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to receive payment of that Parallel Liability (in its capacity as the independent and separate creditor of that Parallel Liability and not as a co-creditor in respect of the Corresponding Liabilities); and

(4)

for purposes of this Section 12.13, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of any of the Secured Parties and accordingly holds neither its claim resulting from a Parallel Liability nor any security securing a Parallel Liability on trust.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

Tronox Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.500% per annum from ________________, ___ until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “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 the date of issuance; provided that, if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be _____________, _____.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 15 or October 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be 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 private debts. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is not a Business Day, the record date shall not be affected.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes and the Issuer or any of Holdings’ other Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and as Collateral Agent. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) Prior to May 1, 2022, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring prior to or on the date of redemption.

A-3

(b) At any time prior to May 1, 2022, the Issuer may, at its option on any one or more occasions following any Equity Offering, redeem Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) upon notice as described under Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to 106.500% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to, but excluding the applicable date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that occurs prior to the redemption date), and any amount payable in any such redemption can be funded from any source; provided that (i) at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) remains outstanding after each such redemption (excluding Notes held by Holdings and its Subsidiaries); and (ii) such redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering. Notice of any such redemption must be given within 90 days after the date of such Equity Offering.

The foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis to the laws and official positions of any jurisdiction in which any successor permitted under Article 5 of the Indenture is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

(f)

In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer (or any other Person making such tender offer) purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon notice given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such tender offer, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to the price offered to each Holder in such tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, to but excluding the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in minimum amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders of Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its respective consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase).

Exhibit E

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

These Agreed Security Principles shall be applicable to the Issuer and all Guarantors other than any Person organised under the laws of the United States or any state, territory or other entity thereof. Notes Documents with respect to such United States Guarantors shall be on customary market terms.

1.	SECURITY PRINCIPLES

(a)

The guarantees and Collateral provided by Foreign Subsidiaries in support of the Notes will be subject to these Agreed Security Principles. This Exhibit addresses the manner in which these Agreed Security Principles will impact on the Guarantees and Liens proposed to be taken in relation to this transaction.

(b)

These Agreed Security Principles embody recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective or commercially reasonable Guarantees and/or Liens from Guarantors in each jurisdiction of such Guarantor’s incorporation or organisation. In particular:

(i)

general legal and statutory limitations (including pursuant to reviews of the Committee on Foreign Investments in the US and Foreign Ownership and Controlling Influence restrictions or, with respect to the relevant jurisdictions for which guarantee limitation language is set out in this Indenture or in any applicable joinder agreement to this Indenture, such limitations as set out herein), financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, transfer pricing, “thin capitalisation”, “earnings stripping”, “controlled foreign corporation” (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code), “exchange control restrictions” and “capital maintenance” rules, retention of title claims, employee consultation or approval requirements and similar principles may limit the ability of a member of the Group to provide a Guarantee or xxxxx x Xxxx or may require that the Guarantee or Lien be limited by an amount or otherwise;

(ii)

the relevant Guarantor shall use its commercially reasonable endeavours to assist in demonstrating that adequate corporate benefit accrues to each relevant Guarantor and to overcome any such other limitations to the extent reasonably practicable;

(iii)

the Lien and extent of its perfection will take into account the cost to the Group of creating Liens (including any increase to the tax cost of the Group) so as to ensure that it is proportionate to the benefit accruing to the Secured Parties, it being understood that in no event will any Guarantee be given or Lien be granted over, or by, any members of the Group incorporated in South Africa, South America, Asia and/or Saudi Arabia;

F-1

(iv)

members of the Group will not be required to give Guarantees or enter into Security Documents if (a) they are not wholly-owned by another member of the Group and are prevented from doing so under the terms of any shareholders agreement that is (i) with any person that is not a member of the Group or any of their affiliates and (ii) that is in existence as at the Issue Date or (with respect to newly acquired entities) as at the time of completion of the relevant acquisition (provided that the relevant member of the Group shall use its commercially reasonable endeavours for a period of 25 Business Days from request by the Term Loan Collateral Agent (acting solely on behalf of the Term Loan lenders) to obtain any required consents or waivers from the other parties to such shareholders agreement (it being understood that nothing in these Agreed Security Principles shall require a member of the Group to seek an amendment of the relevant shareholders agreement or to jeopardise its commercial relationship with the other parties thereto), and if the relevant Group member has used its commercially reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain such required consents or waivers, its obligation to obtain those consents or waivers shall cease on the expiry of that 25 Business Day period) or (b) it is not within the legal capacity of the relevant member of the Group or if it would conflict with the fiduciary duties of their directors or contravene any applicable legal or regulatory prohibition or result in a risk of personal or criminal liability on the part of any officer provided that the relevant Group member shall use its commercially reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle;

(v)

the creation or perfection of Liens, when required, and other legal formalities will be completed as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within the time periods specified in the Notes Documents therefore or (if earlier or to the extent no such time periods are specified in the Notes Documents) within the time periods specified by applicable law in order to ensure due perfection. The perfection of Liens will not be required prior to the Term Loan Collateral Agent (acting solely on behalf of the Term Loan lenders) serving notice pursuant to and in accordance with the Term Loan Facility if it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Guarantor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course or as otherwise permitted by the Notes Documents (including, without limitation, notification of receivables security to third party debtors until the Term Loan Collateral Agent (acting solely on behalf of the Term Loan lenders) has served notice of default pursuant to the Term Loan Facility);

(vi)

any assets subject to a legal requirement, contracts, leases, licenses or other third party arrangement, which may prevent those assets from being charged (or assets which, if charged or pledged, would give a third party the right to terminate or otherwise amend any rights, benefits and/or obligations with respect to a member of the Group in respect of those assets or which require any member of the Group to take any action materially adverse to the interests of any member of the Group or any member thereof), other than provisions included in general banking conditions, will be excluded from any relevant Security Document, provided that the relevant member of the Group shall use its commercially reasonable endeavours for a maximum period of 15 Business Days (provided that the relevant member of the Group is satisfied that such endeavours will not involve placing relationships with third parties in jeopardy) to obtain consent to charging or pledging any such assets if required by the Notes Documents and if the Term Loan Collateral Agent (acting solely on behalf of the Term Loan lenders) reasonably determines the relevant assets to be material in the context of the business of the Group as a whole and (taking into account the Issuer’s view on any potential impact on relationships with third parties) from such date as the Term Loan Collateral Agent (acting solely on behalf of the Term Loan lenders) reasonably requests the Issuer to do so and if the relevant Group member has used its commercially reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain such required consents or waivers, its obligation to obtain those consents or waivers shall cease on the expiry of that 15 Business Day period;

F-2

(vii)

unless granted under a global security agreement governed by the law of the jurisdiction of the Issuer or a Guarantor all security (other than share security over its subsidiaries that are Guarantors) shall be governed by the law of and secure assets located in the jurisdiction of incorporation of that Guarantor or the Issuer or any other Guarantor;

(viii)

no perfection action will be required in jurisdictions where the Issuer or any Guarantors are not incorporated but perfection action may be required in the jurisdiction of incorporation of one such Person in relation to Liens granted by another such Person incorporated in a different jurisdiction;

(ix)

the maximum guaranteed or secured amount may be limited to minimise stamp duty, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties so as to ensure that the costs to the Issuer and the Guarantors are proportionate to the benefits accruing to the Secured Parties;

(x)

where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of creating Liens over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such Lien, Liens will be granted over the material assets only;

(xi)

it is expressly acknowledged that it may be either impossible or impractical to grant security over certain categories of assets in which event security will not be taken over such assets;

(xii)

(A) no Guarantee or Lien will be required to be given by or in respect of any acquired person or other acquired asset (and no consent shall be required to be sought with respect thereto) which are required to support acquired indebtedness to the extent such acquired indebtedness is permitted by this Indenture to remain outstanding after an acquisition and (B) no target or other entity acquired pursuant to an acquisition not prohibited by this Indenture shall be required to become a Guarantor or grant Liens, in each case, if prevented by the terms of the documentation governing that acquired indebtedness or if becoming a Guarantor or the creation of Liens would give rise to an obligation (including any payment obligation) under or in relation thereto;

(xiii)

to the extent possible and unless required by applicable law, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the Guarantees or Liens when any Secured Party assigns or transfers any of its holdings or its role, as applicable, to a third party (and, unless explicitly agreed to the contrary in this Indenture, no member of the Group shall bear or otherwise be liable for any taxes, any notarial, registration or perfection fees or any other costs, fees or expenses that result from any assignment or transfer by a Secured Party);

(xiv)

no title investigations or other diligence on assets will be required and no title insurance will be requested;

(xv)

Liens will not be required over any cash constituting regulatory capital or customer cash (and such assets or cash shall be excluded from any relevant Security Document);

F-3

(xvi)

Guarantees and Liens will not be required from or over the assets of any joint-venture or similar arrangement unless granted pursuant to an “all-asset” security and not prohibited by the terms of the joint venture or similar arrangement;

(xvii)

no Liens may be provided on terms which are inconsistent with the turnover or sharing provisions in any intercreditor agreement;

(xviii)

no Guarantee and Liens shall be required over any assets situated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (including any shares held in an entity incorporated or organised in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia); and

(xix)

to the extent legally effective, all Liens will be given in favour of the Collateral Agent and not to the secured creditors individually, with the Collateral Agent to hold one set of Liens for the Secured Parties (subject to applicable law); “parallel debt” provisions will be used where necessary (and included in any intercreditor agreement and not the individual Security Documents).

(c)

Notwithstanding any term of any Notes Document: no loan or other obligation under any Notes Document may be, directly or indirectly guaranteed by (i) any CFC or by an entity (a “FSHCO”) that has no material assets other equity interests (or equity interests and indebtedness) of one or more CFCs, or (ii) a subsidiary of a CFC of FSHCO.

(d)

The Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, as the case may be, shall, subject to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, promptly discharge any guarantees and release any Lien which is or are or has become subject to any legal or regulatory prohibition as is referred to in paragraph (b) above.

2.	GUARANTORS AND SECURITY

(a)

Subject to the guarantee limitations set out in this Indenture, each Guarantee will be an upstream, cross-stream and downstream guarantee and security for all liabilities of the Guarantors under the Notes Documents in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of these Agreed Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction. Security Documents will secure the Guarantee obligations of the relevant security provider or, if such Lien is provided on a third party basis, all liabilities of the Guarantors under the Notes Documents, in each case in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of these Agreed Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction.

(b)

Where a Guarantor pledges shares, the Security Document will be governed by the laws of the company whose shares are being pledged and not by the law of the country of the pledgor. Subject to these principles, the shares in each Guarantor shall be secured. The shares held by a Guarantor in a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor shall not be required to be the subject of any Lien, unless that Subsidiary is a Significant Subsidiary (or unless the shares in such Subsidiary can be secured in a global security agreement such as a New York law global security agreement and an English law debenture, or similar).

(c)

Any Security Document shall only be required to be notarised or notarially certified if required by law in order for the relevant Lien to become effective or admissible in evidence.

3.	TERMS OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS

The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any Lien granted as part of this transaction:

(a)

the Lien will be first ranking, to the extent possible and subject always to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement;

F-4

(b)

the Collateral Agent shall only be able to exercise a power of attorney following the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture or if the relevant Guarantor has failed to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation (and any grace period applicable thereto has expired), but only to the extent necessary to comply with such further assurance or perfection obligation;

(c)

Liens will not be enforceable (including the crystallisation of any floating charge (unless it has occurred automatically pursuant to the terms of the English law debenture)) until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture;

(d)

the provisions of each Security Document will not be unduly burdensome on any Guarantor or interfere unreasonably with the operation of its business, will be limited to those required by local law to grant or perfect or ensure the priority of Liens and will not otherwise impose commercial obligations;

(e)

the Security Documents should only operate to grant Liens rather than to impose other commercial obligations or repeat clauses in other Notes Documents; accordingly (i) there will be no repetition or extension of clauses set out in this Indenture (or any intercreditor agreement) such as those relating to notices, cost and expenses (except in Security Documents requiring notarisation), indemnities, tax gross up, distribution of proceeds and release of any Liens; (ii) representations and undertakings shall be included in the Security Documents only to the extent required by local law in order to grant or perfect or ensure the priority of the security interest expressed to be granted thereby; and (iii) nothing in any Security Document shall (or shall be construed to) prohibit any transaction, matter or other step (or a grantor of security taking or entering into the same or dealing in any manner whatsoever in relation to any asset (including all rights, claims, benefits, proceeds and documentation, and contractual counterparties in relation thereto) the subject of (or expressed to be the subject of) the Security Document if not prohibited by the terms of the other Notes Documents (and accordingly to such extent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly effect releases, confirmations, consents to deal or similar steps always at the cost of the relevant grantor of such Lien);

F-5

(f)

information, such as lists of assets, will be provided if, and only to the extent required by local law to be provided to perfect or register the Lien and, when required, shall be provided no more frequently than annually (unless required more frequently under local law) or, following an Event of Default which is continuing, as necessary and appropriate;

(g)

no Lien will be granted over parts, stock, moveable plant, equipment if it would require labelling, segregation or periodic listing or specification of such parts, stocks, moveable plant or equipment;

(h)

perfection will not be required in respect of (i) vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title or (ii) letter of credit rights and tort claims (or the local law equivalent);

(i)

in no event shall control agreements (or perfection by control or similar arrangements) be required with respect to any asset (including deposit or securities account) (unless the Notes Documents expressly provide for any specific account (by reference to its purpose) to be subject to specific restrictions on use);

(j)

Liens will, where possible and practical, automatically grant security over future assets of the same type as those already secured; where local law requires supplemental pledges to be delivered in respect of future acquired assets in order for effective Liens to be granted over that class of asset, such supplemental pledges shall be provided at intervals no more frequent than twelve months (unless required more frequently under local law to grant such Lien or, following an Event of Default which is continuing, as necessary and appropriate); and

(k)

each Security Document must contain a clause which records that if there is a conflict between the Security Document and this Indenture or any intercreditor agreement then (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the provisions of this Indenture or (as applicable) any intercreditor agreement will take priority over the provisions of the Security Document.

4.	BANK ACCOUNTS

(a)

If a Guarantor grants Liens over its bank accounts it shall be free to deal with those accounts (other than mandatory prepayment accounts and any other accounts which are specifically blocked) in the course of its business (including closing unused or dormant accounts) until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, (unless the Notes Documents expressly provide for any specific account (by reference to its purpose) to be subject to specific restrictions on use) there will be no “fixed” Liens (or analogous security interest in the relevant jurisdiction) over bank accounts, cash or receivables or any obligation to hold or pay cash or receivables in a particular account until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

F-6

(b)

Where “fixed” security (or analogous security interest in the relevant jurisdiction) is required, if required by local law to perfect the Liens, notice of the Liens will be served on (or, in the case of a control agreement, requested from) the account bank within 10 Business Days of the Lien being granted and the Guarantor shall use its commercially reasonable endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 20 Business Days of such service. If the Guarantor has used its commercially reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement its obligation to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 20 Business Day period. Irrespective of whether notice of the Lien is required for perfection, if the service of notice would prevent the Guarantor from using a bank account in the course of its business no notice of any Lien shall be served until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

(c)

Any Lien over bank accounts shall be subject to any prior security interests in favour of the account bank which are granted either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank. No grantor of any Lien will be required to change its banking arrangements or standard terms and conditions in connection with the granting of bank account security. For 20 Business Days from service of the notice referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Guarantor shall use its commercially reasonable endeavours to procure that the account bank will waive any such prior security interest or to limit such prior security interest to the account bank’s costs and fees in connection with the banking arrangements. If the Guarantor has used its commercially reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain such waiver or limitation its obligation to obtain such waiver or limitation shall cease on the expiry of that 15 Business Day period.

(d)

If required under local law, Liens over bank accounts will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.

5.	FIXED ASSETS

(a)

If a Guarantor grants security over its fixed assets it shall be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

(b)

No notice, whether to third parties or by attaching a notice to the fixed assets, shall be prepared or given until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

(c)

If required under local law security over fixed assets will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.

6.	INSURANCE POLICIES

F-7

(b)

If required by local law to perfect the Lien, notice of the Lien will be served on the insurance provider within 10 Business Days of the Lien being granted and the Guarantor shall use its commercially reasonable endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 15 Business Days of service. If the Guarantor has used its commercially reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement its obligation to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 15 Business Day period.

(c)

No loss payee or other endorsement shall be made on the insurance policy.

7.	INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

(a)

If a Guarantor grants a Lien over its intellectual property it shall be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business (including, without limitation, allowing its intellectual property to lapse if no longer material to its business) to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

(b)

No Lien shall be granted over any intellectual property which cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant licensing agreement. No notice shall be prepared or given to any third party from whom intellectual property is licensed until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

(c)

If required under local law, Liens over intellectual property will be registered under the law of that Security Document at a relevant supra-national registry (such as the EU) or otherwise at any national (or US State, if applicable) registry subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.

8.	INTERCOMPANY RECEIVABLES

(a)

If a Guarantor grants Liens over its intercompany receivables it shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture and any intercreditor agreement, be free to deal with those receivables in the course of its business until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

(b)

If required under local law to perfect the Lien, notice of the Lien will be served on the relevant debtor within 5 Business Days of the Lien being granted and the Guarantor shall obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 15 Business Days of service.

(c)

If required under local law, Liens over intercompany receivables will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.

9.	TRADE RECEIVABLES

(a)

If a Guarantor grants Liens over its trade receivables it shall be free to deal with those receivables in the course of its business to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

(b)

No notice of Liens over its trade receivables may be served until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture.

F-8

(d)

If required under local law Liens over trade receivables will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.

Save as required under local law, any list of trade receivables required shall not include details of the underlying contracts (but may include non-sensitive generic information to the extent that would allow for the creation of Liens) and as necessary and appropriate to the extent required to grant or perfect Liens and in any event no more frequently than once per calendar year.

10.

(a)

Until the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01 (Events of Default) of this Indenture, the charging Guarantor will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights appertaining to any shares charged by it and the company whose shares have been charged will be permitted to pay dividends upstream on pledged shares to the extent permitted under the Notes Documents with the proceeds to be available to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries.

(b)

Where customary and applicable as a matter of law, on, or as soon as reasonably practicable following execution of the share charge, the original share certificate and stock transfer form executed in blank (or other document evidencing title) will be delivered to the Collateral Agent (at such of its locations as it shall elect) and where required by law the share certificate or shareholders’ register (or other local law equivalent) will be endorsed or written up and the endorsed share certificate or a copy of the written up register provided to the Collateral Agent.

(c)

Unless the restriction is required by law or regulation, the constitutional documents of the company whose shares have been charged will be amended to remove any restriction on the transfer or the registration of the transfer of the shares on the taking or enforcement of the Liens granted over them.

(a)

Unless pursuant to a global security document otherwise being entered into by a Guarantor and subject to these Agreed Security Principles, a Guarantor shall not be required to grant Liens over its real estate.
