Section 2.01. Form and Dating. (a) General. The Senior Notes and the Trustee's or Authenticating Agent's certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Senior Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage and as provided herein. The Issuer shall approve the form of the Senior Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement thereon. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions contained in the Senior Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Senior Notes Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Senior Notes Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Senior Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions and purchases and cancellations. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Depositary or the Principal Paying Agent at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer must sign the Senior Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

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

A Senior Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the authorized signatory of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Senior Note has been authenticated under this Senior Notes Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Senior Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver such Senior Note to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof.

- 39 -

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an authorized representative (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate the Senior Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Senior Notes Indenture, including any Additional Senior Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

The Trustee may appoint one or more authentication agents (each, an "Authenticating Agent") acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Such an agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Senior Notes 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. Paying Agent, Registrars and Transfer Agent. The Issuer will maintain one or more paying agents (each, a "Paying Agent") for the Senior Notes in London. The initial Paying Agent will be Citibank, N.A., London Branch (the "Paying Agent" or "Principal Paying Agent") and Citibank, N.A., London Branch hereby accepts such appointment.

The Issuer will also maintain a registrar (the "Registrar") with an office in London. The Issuer will also maintain a transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"). The Issuer hereby appoints Citibank N.A., London Branch as the initial Registrar and Citibank N.A., London Branch hereby accepts such appointment. The Issuer hereby appoints Citibank, N.A., London Branch in London as the initial Transfer Agent and Citibank, N.A., London Branch hereby accepts such appointment. The Registrar will maintain a register (the "Register") for the Senior Notes reflecting ownership of the Definitive Registered Notes (as defined herein) outstanding from time to time and will make payments on and facilitate transfers of Definitive Registered Notes on behalf of the Issuer. Each Transfer Agent shall perform the functions of a transfer agent.

The Registrar will send, on request, a copy of the Register to the Issuer on the Issue Date and after any change to the Register made by the Registrar, with such copy to be held by the Issuer at its registered office.

Upon notice to the Trustee, the Issuer may change the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Transfer Agent without prior notice to the Holders (subject, in the case of a Paying Agent, to the condition described in the first paragraph of this Section 2.03). For so long as the Senior Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and the rules of The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited so require, the Issuer will notify The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited of any change of the Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.

- 40 -

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money. The Issuer will require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee in circumstances in which it is required to act as Paying Agent) to agree in writing that each Paying Agent will hold for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium or Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on, the Senior Notes, and will notify the Trustee 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 the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer 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 and in no event shall any Paying Agent be liable for interest on any money received by it hereunder. Upon any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer (including, without limitation, its bankruptcy, voluntary or judicial liquidation, composition with creditors, reprieve from payment, controlled management, fraudulent conveyance, general settlement with creditors, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally), the Trustee may serve as Paying Agent for the Senior Notes. The Issuer shall no later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day prior to the day on which the Paying Agent is to receive payment, procure that the bank effecting payment for it confirms via fax or tested SWIFT XX000 xxxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx xxx payment instructions relating to such payment. A Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay the Holders of the Senior Notes (or make any other payment) unless and until such time as it has confirmed receipt of funds sufficient to make the relevant payment.

Money held by the initial Paying Agent (as described in Section 2.03 above) will not be held in trust but will be held by such Paying Agent as banker and such money shall not be held subject to the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority's Client Money Rules.

Section 2.05. Holder Lists. The Registrar 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 or the Principal Paying Agent is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee and each Paying Agent at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent may request in writing, a list of the names and addresses of the Holders of Senior Notes in such form and as of such date as the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent may reasonably require.

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. The Global Notes may not be transferred except as a whole to any Person other than to another Depositary or Common Depositary, another Custodian or nominee of the Depositary or Common Depositary or to a successor clearing agency or its depositary or common depositary or custodian or nominee approved by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Registered Notes:

(i) if DTC (in the case of the 144A Global Note) or Euroclear or Clearstream (in the case of the Regulation S Global Note) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as a clearing system for such Global Note, or if at any time DTC ceases (in the case of the 144A Global Note) to be a "clearing agency" registered under the U.S. Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days of such notice;

Every Senior 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.

- 47 -

(iii) No Transfer Agent or Registrar will be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Senior Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part.

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

(v) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer into its register kept at its registered office of any Definitive Registered Notes: (A) for a period of 15 days prior to any date fixed for the redemption of such Definitive Registered Notes under Section 3.03 hereof; (B) for a period of 15 days immediately prior to the date fixed for selection of such Definitive Registered Notes to be redeemed in part; (C) for a period of 15 days prior to the record date with respect to any interest payment date applicable to such Definitive Registered Notes; or (D) which the Holder has tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Senior Notes Indenture, (i) no Book-Entry Interest in any 2025 Global Note and no Definitive Registered 2025 Note issued in exchange for a Book-Entry Interest in any 2025 Global Note may be transferred or exchanged for any Book-Entry Interest in any 2027 Global Note or any Definitive Registered 2027 Note issued in exchange for a Book-Entry Interest in any 2027 Global Note, and (ii) no Book-Entry Interest in any 2027 Global Note and no Definitive Registered 2027 Note issued in exchange for a Book-Entry Interest in any 2025 Global Note may be transferred or exchanged for any Book-Entry Interest in any 2025 Global Note or any Definitive Registered 2025 Note issued in exchange for a Book-Entry Interest in any 2025 Global Note.

Section 2.07. Replacement Senior Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar, the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Senior Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate or cause the Authenticating Agent to 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 the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Senior Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge the Holder for its expenses in replacing a Senior Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.

- 48 -

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

Section 2.08. Outstanding Senior Notes. The Senior Notes outstanding at any time are all the Senior Notes authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to the Paying Agent 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 Senior Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Senior Note; however, Senior Notes held by the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.

If a Senior 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 Senior Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer 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 Senior 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 Senior Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Senior 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 Senior Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Senior Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate temporary Senior Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Senior Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Senior Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will authenticate definitive Senior Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

- 49 -

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

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Senior Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, each Paying Agent and any Transfer Agent will forward to the Trustee any Senior Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) and no one else will cancel all Senior Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy cancelled Senior Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the U.S. Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes will be delivered to the Issuer following a written request from the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Issuer undertakes to promptly inform the Irish Stock Exchange (as long as the Senior Notes are admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market and listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange) on any such cancellation.

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Senior 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 Senior Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer will notify the Trustee as soon as practicable 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 mail or cause to be mailed to the Holders in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. The Issuer undertakes to promptly inform the Irish Stock Exchange (as long as the Senior Notes are admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market and listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange) of any such special record date.

Section 2.13. Computation of Interest. Interest on the 2025 Senior Notes will accrue at the rate of 7.125% per annum and will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes will accrue at the rate of 8.000% per annum and will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of this Senior Notes Indenture, references to "Senior Notes" shall be deemed to include references to the Initial Notes as well as any Additional Notes.

Section 2.15. CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code Number. The Issuer in issuing the Senior Notes may use "CUSIP," "ISIN" or "Common Code" numbers and, if so, such CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number printed in the notice or on the Senior Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Senior Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

(g) If requested in writing by the Issuer, which request may be included in the applicable notice of redemption or pursuant to the applicable Officer's Certificate, the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed (as agent) by the Trustee, for this purpose) shall distribute any amounts deposited to the Holders prior to the applicable redemption date, provided, however that the Holders and the Paying Agent shall have received at least three Business Days' notice from the Issuer of such earlier repayment (which may be included in the notice of redemption). For the avoidance of doubt, the distribution and payment to Holders prior to the applicable redemption date as set forth above will not include any negative interest, present value adjustment, break costs or any other premium on such amounts. To the extent that either series of Senior Notes are represented by Global Notes deposited with a common depositary for a clearing system, any payment to the beneficial holders holding Book Entry Interests as participants of such clearing system will be subject to the then applicable procedures of such clearing system.

Section 3.08. Redemption for Changes in Taxes. (a) The Issuer may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior written notice to the Holders (which notice will be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3.03 and Section 12.01 hereof), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the date fixed by the Issuer for redemption (a "Tax Redemption Date") and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Senior Notes, (x) the Issuer or a Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts or (y) any payments on the Proceeds Bonds would become subject to withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of Nigeria or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax at a rate in excess of 7.5% (calculated after giving effect to any reduction of such rate under the applicable tax treaty between the Netherlands and Nigeria) ("Proceeds Bond Withholding"), and in each case the Issuer or Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available, and the requirement arises as a result of:

(i) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, on a date after the Issue Date, such later date); or

- 57 -

(ii) any amendment to, or change in, an official position, or the introduction of an official position, regarding the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, regulations, treaties or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment, or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice) which amendment, change or introduction becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable on a date after the Issue Date, such later date)

(each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a "Change in Tax Law").

(b) The Issuer will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Senior Notes was then due, and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts or Proceeds Bond Withholding must be in effect at the time such notice is given. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Senior Notes pursuant to this Senior Notes Indenture, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that obligation to pay such Additional Amounts or Proceeds Bond Withholding cannot be avoided by the Issuer (or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable) taking reasonable measures available to it; and (ii) a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Issuer of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that the Issuer (or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable) has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts or Proceeds Bond Withholding as a result of a Change in Tax Law.

(c) The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

Section 3.09. Mandatory Redemption; Open Market Purchases. The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Senior Notes. The Issuer and its Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Senior Notes in the open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as well as with such consideration as the Issuer or any such Affiliates may determine.

Section 3.10. Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. (a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer or to commence a Notes Offer, it will follow the procedures specified in this Section 3.10.

(b) Each Asset Sale Offer will be made to all Holders and, to the extent the Issuer elects to do so, to holders of other Indebtedness that is Pari Passu Indebtedness to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. In addition, each Notes Offer will be made to all Holders. Each Asset Sale Offer and Notes Offer will remain open for such period as is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the "Purchase Date"), the Issuer will apply all Excess Proceeds, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, or Net Proceeds, in the case of a Notes Offer (the "Offer Amount"), to the purchase of the Senior Notes and, if applicable, such other Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Senior Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Senior Notes and, if applicable, such other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer, as the case may be. Payment for any Senior Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

- 58 -

(c) If the Purchase Date is on or after a record date for the payment of interest and on or before the related payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Senior Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer, as the case may be.

(d) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer, the Issuer will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer, as the case may be. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer (as applicable), will state:

(i) that the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer (as applicable) is being made pursuant to this Section 3.10 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer (as applicable) will remain open;

(ii) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(iii) that any Senior Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Senior Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer (as applicable) will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(v) that Holders electing to have a Senior Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer (as applicable) may elect to have Senior Notes purchased in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof; provided that Senior Notes of $200,000 or less may only be purchased in whole and not in part;

(vi) that Holders electing to have a Senior Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer (as applicable) will be required to surrender the Senior Note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Senior Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Depositary, to the account of the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(vii) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Senior Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Senior Note purchased;

- 59 -

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and, if applicable, other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer will select the Senior Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Senior Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Senior Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, will be purchased; provided that Senior Notes of $200,000 or less may only be purchased in whole and not in part; and

(ix) that Holders whose Definitive Registered Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Definitive Registered Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Senior Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

(e) On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Senior Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer (as applicable), or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Senior Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Senior Notes properly accepted together with an Officer's Certificate stating that such Senior Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.10. The Issuer, the relevant Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder in the manner specified in the Senior Notes an amount equal to the purchase price of the Senior Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase. In connection with any purchase of Global Notes pursuant hereto, the Trustee will endorse such Global Notes to reflect the decrease in principal amount of such Global Note resulting from such purchase. In connection with any partial purchase of Definitive Registered Notes, the Issuer will promptly issue a new Definitive Registered Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer, will procure the authentication of and mail or deliver such new Definitive Registered Note to the tendering Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Definitive Registered Note surrendered. Any Senior Note tendered but not accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce and inform The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited (for as long as the Senior Notes (if any) are listed on the Exchange) of the results of the Asset Sale Offer or Notes Offer (as applicable) on the Purchase Date.

(f) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.10, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof (it being understood that any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall not be subject to conditions precedent).

Section 3.11. Optional Redemption upon Completion of Certain Tender Offers. In connection with any tender offer for any series of Senior Notes (including, without limitation, any Change of Control Offer and any Asset Sale Offer), if Holders of Senior Notes of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Senior Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer, or any third party making such a tender offer in lieu of the Issuer, purchases all of the Senior Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, all of the holders of the applicable series of Senior Notes will be deemed to have consented to such tender or other offer and, accordingly, the Issuer or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such tender offer expiration date, to redeem the applicable series of Senior Notes that remain outstanding in whole, but not in part, following such purchase at a price equal to the price (excluding any early tender fee) offered to each other Holder of Senior Notes in such tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, such redemption date. In determining whether the Holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the relevant series have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Notes in a tender offer, Notes owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates or by funds controlled or managed by any Affiliate of the Issuer, or any successor thereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of such tender offer.

Principal of, interest, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Senior Notes will be payable at the corporate trust office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent maintained in London, for such purposes.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Senior 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 in the City of London. 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 trust office of the Trustee (the address of which is specified in Section 12.01 hereof) as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

(b) In addition, if the Issuer has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Subsidiaries are Significant Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Sections 4.03(a)(i) and 4.03(a)(ii) hereof will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer.

(c) Following a Public Equity Offering on a Recognized Stock Exchange (a "Qualifying IPO") the requirements of this covenant shall be considered to have been fulfilled if the IPO Entity complies with the reporting requirements of such stock exchange; provided that quarterly information is also provided, should such Recognized Stock Exchange not have a formal requirement for quarterly reporting. Such reports may consolidate reporting at the level of the IPO Entity or any Parent Holdco of the Issuer, provided that such reports contain such information with respect to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that is at least as reasonably detailed (including with respect to financial information) as that provided under this covenant immediately prior to such Qualifying IPO.

Except as provided for above, no report need include separate financial statements for the Issuer or Subsidiaries of the Issuer or any disclosure with respect to the results of operations or any other financial or statistical disclosure not of a type included in the Offering Memorandum.

(e) In addition, for so long as Senior Notes of a series remain outstanding, the Issuer has agreed that it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the U.S. Securities Act.

(f) Substantially concurrently with the issuance to the Trustee of the reports specified in Sections 4.03(a)(i), 4.03(a)(ii) and 4.03(a)(iii) hereof, the Issuer shall also (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to post copies of such reports on such website as may be then maintained by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries or (ii) otherwise to provide substantially comparable availability of such reports to holders (as determined by the Issuer in good faith) or (b) to the extent the Issuer determines in good faith that it cannot make such reports available in the manner described in the preceding clause (a) owing to applicable law or after the use of its commercially reasonable efforts, furnish such reports to the holders and, upon their request, prospective purchasers of the Senior Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no requirement to issue the information specified in Section 4.03(a)(iii) hereof to the Trustee if it shall already have been made publicly available under Section 4.03(f)(a)(i) hereof, unless the Trustee so requests. If the Issuer delivers the reports required by this section to the Trustee, the Trustee is holding these as a ministerial act and shall not be charged with the knowledge of their contents.

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Senior Notes Indenture and the Security Documents, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Issuer is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Senior Notes Indenture or any Security Document (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

(b) So long as any of the Senior Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, as soon as reasonably practicable after (but not later than thirty days) upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer's Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Issuer will pay, and the Issuer will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Senior Notes.

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Senior Notes Indenture; and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(iv) make any payment (except through capitalization) on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Shareholder Debt; or

(v) make any Restricted Investment,

(A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(B) the Issuer would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof; and

(d) The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09.

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio on the date of any proposed incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a different currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the last balance sheet date, or at the option of the Issuer, the date first committed, in the case of Indebtedness incurred under Credit Facilities; provided, that if such Indebtedness denominated in currency other than U.S. dollars is subject to a Currency Exchange Protection Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be calculated so as to take account of the effects of such Currency Exchange Protection Agreement.

- 78 -

(f) The principal amount of any refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced determined by reference to the currency exchange rate in effect on the last balance sheet date to the date on which such refinancing Indebtedness is being incurred, except that to the extent that such U.S. dollar equivalent was determined based on a Currency Exchange Protection Agreement, in which case the refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with Section 4.09(e) hereof.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

(h) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(i) in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount, the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with IFRS;

(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness;

(iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the fair market value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person

(iv) any "parallel debt" obligation relating to Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; and

(v) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Issuer, or preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, which will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof.

Section 4.10. Asset Sales. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i) the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (determined at the time of contracting such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

- 79 -

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities, as recorded on the balance sheet of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities), that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and as a result of which the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities or are indemnified against further liabilities;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of the Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

(D) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale;

(E) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor received from Persons who are not the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is cancelled;

(F) accounts receivable of a business retained by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, following the sale of such business; and

(G) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sales having an aggregate fair market value, when taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.10(a)(ii)(G) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $50.0 million and 2.0% of the Total Assets of the Issuer, measured at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds (at the option of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary) to:

- 80 -

(i) (A) prepay, repay, redeem or purchase (including through open market purchases, voluntary tender offers or privately negotiated transactions at market prices) Pari Passu Indebtedness at a price of no more than 100% of the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment, repayment, purchase or redemption; provided that the Issuer shall redeem, repay or repurchase Pari Passu Indebtedness that is Public Debt pursuant to this Section 4.10(b)(i)(A) only if the Issuer makes (at such time or subsequently in compliance with this covenant) an offer to all holders of the Senior Notes to purchase their Senior Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer for an aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes at least equal to the proportion that (x) the total aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding bears to (y) the sum of the total aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding plus the total aggregate principal amount outstanding of such Pari Passu Indebtedness; (B) with respect to assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, prepay, repay, repurchase or redeem (including through open market purchases, voluntary tender offers or privately negotiated transactions at market prices) any of its Indebtedness; or (C) prepay, repay, repurchase or redeem any Indebtedness that is secured on any asset which security does not also secure the Senior Notes on a pari passu or senior basis (and in each of Sections 4.10(b)(i)(A) and (B) hereof and this Section 4.10(b)(i)(C), other than Indebtedness that is owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary);

(ii) purchase Senior Notes (a) pursuant to an offer to all holders of the Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to at least 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) (a "Notes Offer") or (b) pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof;

(iii) acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(iv) make a capital expenditure;

(v) acquire other assets (other than Capital Stock) that are used or useful in a Permitted Business;

(vi) invest in any Replacement Assets;

(vii) enter into a commitment approved by the Board of Directors or otherwise binding on the Issuer to apply the Net Proceeds pursuant to Sections 4.10(b)(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) hereof; provided that such commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is consummated, and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period; or

(viii) any combination of the foregoing.

(c) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Senior Notes Indenture.

- 81 -

(d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) hereof will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $40.0 million, within ten Business Days thereof, or at any earlier time at the Issuer's election, the Issuer will make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all Holders and may, to the extent the Issuer so elects, make an offer to holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with Section 3.10 hereof the maximum principal amount of Senior Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price for the Senior Notes in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to (i) solely in the case of the Senior Notes, 100% of the principal amount of the applicable series, which shall be repurchased in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that Senior Notes of $200,000 or less may only be redeemed in whole and not in part; and (ii) solely in the case of any other Pari Passu Indebtedness, no greater than 100% of the principal amount, plus, in the case of (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of the Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Senior Notes Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into (or to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, or if the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer that is an application of Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(i) hereof exceeds the amount of the Net Proceeds so applied, the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, will select the Senior Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, if applicable, to be purchased on a pro rata basis (or in the manner described under Section 3.02 hereof), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that Senior Notes of $200,000 or less may only be redeemed in whole and not in part. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be liable for any selections made by it in accordance with this Section 4.10.

(e) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the U.S. Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Senior Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, an Asset Sale Offer or a Notes Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control or Asset Sale provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control or Asset Sale provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

(f) The Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may make an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the 365-day period mentioned in this Section 4.10. The provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture relating to the Issuer's obligation to make an Asset Sale Offer may be waived or modified with the consent of Holders of a majority in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes.

Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any services) with any Affiliate of the Issuer (any such transaction or series of related transactions being, an "Affiliate Transaction") involving aggregate value in excess of $10.0 million, unless

- 82 -

(i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate value in excess of U.S.$30.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer set forth in an Officer's Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, or, if there are not sufficient disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer to form a majority, by a majority of the Board of Directors.

(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:

(i) any issuance or sale of Capital Stock, Subordinated Shareholder Debt, options, other equity-related interests or other securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, or entering into, or maintenance of, any employment, consulting, collective bargaining or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, related trust or other similar agreement and other compensation arrangements, options, warrants or other rights to purchase Capital Stock of the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Parent Holdco, restricted stock plans, long-term incentive plans, stock appreciation rights plans, participation plans or similar employee benefits or consultants' plans or indemnities provided on behalf of officers, employees, directors or consultants approved or ratified by the Board of Directors of the Issuer;

(ii) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries, or between and among Restricted Subsidiaries and any Receivables Subsidiary;

(iii) any transaction in the ordinary course of business between or among the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Issuer that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Affiliate;

(iv) payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(v) the execution, delivery and performance (without duplication of any Permitted Parent Payments) of any Tax Sharing Agreement or any arrangement pursuant to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required or permitted to file a consolidated tax return, or the formation and maintenance of any consolidated group for tax, accounting or cash pooling or management purposes in the ordinary course of business;

- 83 -

(vi) any Restricted Payment that is permitted pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof (other than pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(xii)(B)(ii) hereof);

(vii) any Permitted Investment (other than Permitted Investments described in clauses (3), (10) and (16) of the definition thereof);

(viii) (A) issuances or sales of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock or Designated Preference Shares) of the Issuer or options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock or Subordinated Shareholder Debt; provided that the interest rate and other financial terms of such Subordinated Shareholder Debt are approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer in their reasonable determination and (B) any amendment, waiver or other transaction with respect to any Subordinated Shareholder Debt made in compliance with the other provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture;

(ix) transactions pursuant to, or contemplated by any agreement in effect on the Issue Date and transactions pursuant to any amendment, modification or extension to such agreement, so long as such amendment, modification or extension, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Senior Notes than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

(x) Management Advances and the payment of Management Fees;

(xi) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services or providers of employees or other labor, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Senior Notes Indenture that are fair to the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated Person;

(xii) transactions, agreements or other arrangements with customers, suppliers, contractors, lessors or sellers of goods or services that are negotiated with an Affiliate or any Parent Holdco, in each case, which are otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Senior Notes Indenture; provided that the terms and conditions of any such transaction, agreement or other arrangement as applicable to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and are on terms no less favorable to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that could have reasonably been obtained in respect of an analogous transaction or agreement that would not constitute an Affiliate Transaction (in each case, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer);

(xiii) any agreements or other arrangements entered into from time to time with IHS Holding Limited or any Parent Holdco that is entered into for the provision of group services, provided that such agreements or arrangements are on terms which are fair to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or an Officer of the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary;

(xiv) any participation in a rights offer or public tender or exchange offer for publicly-held securities or debt instruments issued by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are conducted on arm's length terms and provide for the same price or exchange ratio, as the case may be, to all holders accepting such rights, tender or exchange offer;

- 84 -

(xv) transactions between the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and any other Person that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because a director of such other Person is also a director of the Issuer or any Parent Holdco of the Issuer; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Issuer or such Parent Holdco, as the case may be, on any matter including such other Person;

(xvi) transactions pursuant to, or contemplated by the Parent Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, any guarantee thereof, any Parent RCF Contribution or any Parent RCF Debt Obligation, and any related notes, guarantees, collateral documents, instruments, and agreements executed in connection therewith, in each case, as amended, restated, modified, renewed, refunded, replaced in any manner (whether upon or after termination or otherwise) or refinanced in whole or in part from time to time; provided that any such amendment, modification, renewal, refunding, replacement or refinancing, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Senior Notes than the original instrument; and

(xvii) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing.

Section 4.12. Liens. The Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (an "Initial Lien") of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, except (a) Permitted Liens; or (b) if such Lien is not a Permitted Lien, to the extent that all Obligations due under this Senior Notes Indenture, the Senior Notes and the Note Guarantees are, in each case, secured on an equal and ratable basis or on a priority basis with the Obligations secured by the Initial Lien (and on a priority basis if such Obligations secured by the Initial Lien are subordinated in right of payment to either the Senior Notes or any Note Guarantee). With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The "Increased Amount" of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing such Indebtedness.

Section 4.13. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer will make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that Senior Notes of $200,000 or less may only be redeemed in whole and not in part) of that Holder's Senior Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in this Senior Notes Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Senior Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"), subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, at such Holder's registered address or otherwise deliver a notice in accordance with the procedures of Section 3.03 and Section 12.01 hereof, stating that a Change of Control Offer is being made and offering to repurchase Senior Notes of the applicable series on the date (the "Change of Control Payment Date") specified in the notice:

- 85 -

(i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13 and that all Senior Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(ii) the purchase price and the Change of Control Payment Date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered;

(iii) that any Senior Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Senior Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

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

(vi) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Senior Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Senior Notes purchased; and

(vii) that Holders whose Senior Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Senior Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Senior Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $200,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the U.S. Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior Notes as a result of a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture, the Issuer will comply with any applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Senior Notes Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

- 86 -

The Paying Agent will promptly mail (or cause to be delivered) to each Holder properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Senior Notes, and the Trustee (or an authentication agent approved by it, upon receipt of an authentication order from the Issuer) will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Senior Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Senior 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.

The provisions of this Section 4.13 that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture are applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.13, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Senior Notes Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) an unconditional notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof or all conditions to redemption under Section 3.07 hereof have been satisfied or waived, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.13, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, provided a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(e) The provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture relating to the Issuer's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of Holders of a majority in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes of such series.

(f) If and for so long as the Senior Notes of the relevant series are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuer will publish notices relating to the Change of Control Offer to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules.

- 87 -

Section 4.14. Additional Guarantees. (a) The Issuer will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor, directly or indirectly, to guarantee the payment of, assume or in any manner become liable with respect to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor incurred under Credit Facilities in excess of the greater of $20.0 million and 0.8% of the Total Assets of the Issuer or that constitutes Public Debt unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for the guarantee of the payment of the Senior Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary, which Note Guarantee will be senior to or pari passu with such Restricted Subsidiary's guarantee of such other Indebtedness.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.14(a) hereof:

(i) the Note Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary may be limited in amount to the extent such Note Guarantee may reasonably be expected to give rise to or result in (a) any breach or violation of statutory limitations, corporate benefit, financial assistance, fraudulent preference, thin capitalization rules, capital maintenance rules, guidance and coordination rules or the laws rules or regulations (or analogous restriction) of any applicable jurisdiction; (b) any risk or liability for the officers, directors or (except in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a partnership) shareholders of such Restricted Subsidiary (or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a partnership, directors or shareholders of the partners of such partnership); or (c) any material cost, expense, liability or obligation (including with respect to any Taxes but excluding any obligation under the Note Guarantee itself) that cannot be avoided by reasonable measures available to the Issuer other than reasonable out of pocket expenses (but, in such a case each of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal limit and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant limit);

(ii) for so long as it is not permissible under applicable law or regulation for a Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor, such Restricted Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor (but, in such a case, each of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal prohibition precluding the giving of the guarantee and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant legal prohibition, and shall give such guarantee at such time (and to the extent) that it thereafter becomes permissible); and

(iii) This Section 4.14 shall not be applicable to any guarantees by any Restricted Subsidiary:

(A) that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary if the guarantee was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof); or

(B) given to a bank or trust company having, at the time such guarantee was given, combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of not less than $500.0 million and whose debt has a rating of at least "A" or the equivalent thereof by S&P and at least "A2" or the equivalent thereof by Xxxxx'x in connection with the operation of cash management programs established for the Issuer's benefit or that of any Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.15. [Reserved].

Section 4.16. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a copy of a resolution of the Issuer's Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer's Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Senior Notes Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Issuer will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (a) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (b) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 4.17. Maintenance of Listing. The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to list and to maintain the listing of the 2025 Senior Notes and the 2027 Senior Notes on the Official List of the Exchange for so long as such 2025 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes are outstanding; provided that if the Issuer is unable to obtain admission to listing of the 2025 Senior Notes or 2027 Senior Notes on the Official List of the Exchange or if at any time the Issuer determines that it will not so list or maintain such listing, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a listing of such Senior Notes on another "recognised stock exchange" (as defined under section 1005 of the UK Income Tax Act 2007), in which case, references in this Section 4.17 to the Exchange will be deemed to refer to such other "recognised stock exchange."

Section 4.18. Additional Amounts. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer under or with respect to the Senior Notes (whether or not in the form of Definitive Registered Notes) or any of the Guarantors with respect to any Note Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is then incorporated, organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (including the jurisdiction of any Paying Agent) or any political subdivision thereof or therein (each, a "Tax Jurisdiction") will at any time be required to be made from any payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer under or with respect to the Senior Notes or any of the Guarantors under or with respect to any Note Guarantee, including payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each Holder after such withholding, deduction or imposition (including any such withholding, deduction or imposition from such Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

- 89 -

(i) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the existence of any actual or deemed (pursuant to applicable Tax law of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction, such as, if applicable, a connection of a partnership that is attributed to the partners/beneficial owners) present or former connection between the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Senior Notes and the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (including being a resident of such jurisdiction for Tax purposes), other than the holding of such Senior Note, the enforcement of rights under such Senior Note or under a Note Guarantee or the receipt of any payments in respect of such Senior Note or a Note Guarantee;

(ii) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Senior Note for payment (where Senior Notes are in the form of Definitive Registered Notes and presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Senior Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

(iii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, personal property, transfer or similar Taxes;

(iv) any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, the Senior Notes or with respect to any Note Guarantee;

(v) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of Senior Notes to comply with any reasonable written request of the Issuer addressed to the Holder or beneficial owner, as applicable and made at least 60 days before any such withholding or deduction would be payable to satisfy any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the Holder or beneficial owner is legally entitled to provide such certification or documentation;

- 90 -

(vi) any Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such Holder been the sole beneficial owner of such Senior Note;

(vii) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or

(viii) any combination of items from Sections 4.18(a)(i) through (vii) above.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors will also pay and indemnify the Holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) which are levied by any Tax Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Senior Notes, this Senior Notes Indenture, any Note Guarantee or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or enforcement of, any of the Senior Notes or any Note Guarantee (other than on or in connection with a transfer of the Senior Notes that is not part of the initial resale of the Senior Notes by the Senior Notes Initial Purchasers).

(c) If the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Senior Notes or any Note Guarantee, each of the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, will deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 45 days prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an Officer's Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer's Certificate(s) must also set forth any other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Issuer and the relevant Guarantor will provide the Trustee with documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer's Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.

(d) The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor will make all withholdings and deductions required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor will use its reasonable efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, or if, notwithstanding such entity's efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) by such entity. Upon reasonable request, copies of Tax receipts or other evidence of payments, as the case may be, will be made available by the Trustee to the Holders and beneficial owners of the Senior Notes.

- 91 -

(e) Whenever in this Senior Notes Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Senior Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Senior Notes or any Note Guarantee, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(f) The obligations in this Section 4.18 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Senior Notes Indenture, any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its Senior Notes, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, engaged in business for tax purposes, or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person makes any payment on the Senior Notes (or any Note Guarantee) and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.

Section 4.19. Suspension of Certain Covenants when Senior Notes Rated Investment Grade.

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date:

(i) the Senior Notes have achieved Investment Grade Status; and

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date,

then, beginning on that day and continuing until such time, if any, at which the Senior Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status (such period, the "Suspension Period"), Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.14 and 4.16 and Section 5.01(a)(iv) hereof will no longer be applicable to the Senior Notes and any related default provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture will cease to be effective and will not be applicable to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The foregoing sections and any related default provisions will again apply according to their terms from the first day on which the Senior Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status. The foregoing sections will not, however, be of any effect with regard to the actions of Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries properly taken during the continuance of the Suspension Period; provided that (1) with respect to the Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments will be calculated as though Section 4.07 hereof had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period and (2) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(ii) hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Suspension Period, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(c) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing that Sections 4.19(a)(i) and 4.19(a)(ii) hereof have been satisfied, provided that such notification shall not be a condition for the suspension of the covenants set forth above to be effective. The Trustee shall not be obliged to notify Holders of such event. The Issuer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee on the date the Senior Notes achieve Investment Grade Status and shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee if the Senior Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status thereafter.

(ii) increase the amount of Subordinated Shareholder Debt covered by any instrument documenting such Subordinated Shareholder Debt;

(iii) add, remove or substitute a Parent Holdco or an Affiliate that is not a Subsidiary of the Issuer as a party to any such instrument;

(iv) amend the Subordination Deed or any Additional Subordination Deed in accordance with the terms thereof;

(v) provide for the assumption of the obligations of a borrower under any Subordinated Shareholder Debt or any Additional Subordinated Shareholder Debt in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the borrower's assets, as applicable, in a transaction that complies, as applicable, with Section 5.01 or 5.03 hereof; or

(vi) make any other change to any such instrument that does not adversely affect Holders in any material respect.

(b) The Issuer shall not otherwise direct the Trustee to enter into any amendment to the Subordination Deed or any additional Subordination Deed without the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding, except as otherwise permitted by Article 9 hereof, and the Issuer may only direct the Trustee to enter into any amendment to the extent such amendment does not impose any personal obligations on the Trustee or, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely affect its respective rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Senior Notes Indenture or the Subordination Deed or any Additional Subordination Deed.

(c) In relation to any Subordination Deed and any Additional Subordination Deed, the Trustee shall consent on behalf of the Holders to the payment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition, retirement or redemption of any Subordinated Shareholder Debt; provided, however, that such transaction would comply with Section 4.07 hereof.

Section 4.21. Anti-Layering. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical (or more favorable) terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor solely (a) by virtue of being unsecured, (b) by virtue of being secured with different collateral, (c) by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis, (d) by virtue of not being guaranteed or (e) by virtue of the application of waterfall or other payment ordering provisions affecting different tranches of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities.

Section 4.22. Financial Calculations. (a) When determining the availability under any basket or ratio under this Senior Notes Indenture in connection with any transaction or whether such transaction is permitted under this Senior Notes Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, testing any incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of any Restricted Payment, Permitted Payment or Investment, any Asset Sale, any acquisition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other business combination and any other transaction requiring the testing of any basket based on the Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer), the date of determination of such basket or ratio or the testing of any such transaction and of any Default or Event of Default shall, at the option of the Issuer, be the date the definitive agreements for such transaction are entered into (the "Transaction Commitment Date Election").

(b) If the Issuer makes a Transaction Commitment Date Election, such baskets or ratios shall be calculated with such pro forma adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma provisions set forth in the definition of Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio after giving effect to such transaction and other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the applicable period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such transaction, and, for the avoidance of doubt (x) if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such basket or ratio (including due to fluctuations in the Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer or that arises from an asset or a target company subject to such transaction) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) such baskets or ratios shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such transaction or related transactions.

(c) If the Issuer makes a Transaction Commitment Date Election, any such transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds therefrom) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are entered into for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under this Senior Notes Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such transaction. To the extent the date of determination of a basket or ratio is tested prior to the date of consummation of a transaction, such basket or ratio shall be deemed utilized to the same extent until the earlier of the date of consummation of such transaction or the date such transaction is terminated or expires without consummation, except that, in the case of an acquisition, merger or consolidation, any calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes other than incurrences of Indebtedness or Liens or the making of Restricted Payments (not related to such acquisition, merger or consolidation) shall not reflect such transaction until it has been consummated.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Senior Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(v) hereof has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Senior Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Senior Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(v) hereof shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (a) the annulment of the acceleration of the Senior Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal, premium or interest on the Senior Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Senior Notes, have been cured or waived:

- 100 -

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. (a) 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, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Senior Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Senior Notes or this Senior Notes Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Senior Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Senior 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 not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Senior Notes waive any past Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, any Senior Note held by a non-consenting Holder (which may only be waived pursuant to Section 9.02 hereof); provided that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration with respect to such Senior Notes and its consequences if rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with any such waiver or rescission, the Issuer shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including those of its agents and counsel. 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 Senior Notes 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 Senior 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 the Trustee. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or Additional Amounts or premium, if any. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Senior Notes Indenture or the Senior Notes or would involve the Trustee in personal liability or could be unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other holders; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Senior Notes Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Senior Notes Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders of Senior Notes unless such Holders have made a written request and offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Amounts when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Senior Notes Indenture or the Senior Notes unless:

- 101 -

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

(ii) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes have requested, in writing, that the Trustee pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee has not complied with such written request within 60 days after the receipt of the written request and the offer of security and/or indemnity; and

(v) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

(b) A Holder of a Senior Note may not use this Senior Notes Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Senior Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Senior Note. The Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain whether the actions of a Holder of a Senior Note is unduly prejudicial to the interests of other Holders of the Senior Notes.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Senior Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Senior Notes Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Senior Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Senior Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Senior 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 other than as provided in Section 9.02 hereof; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Senior Notes Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants under Article 4 or Article 5, or action taken in compliance with the covenants in effect at the time of such action, shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of any Holders to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interests on the Senior Notes or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's Notes.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(i) or 6.01(a)(ii) 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, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, remaining unpaid on, the Senior Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, Additional Amounts, 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.

- 102 -

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) and the Holders of the Senior Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, a Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Senior Notes, their creditors or 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, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 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 Senior 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. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

Third: to the Issuer, any Guarantor 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 Senior 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 Senior Notes 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 defences 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 Senior Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes.

- 103 -

Section 6.12. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Senior Notes Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined in a final judgment adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of any Senior Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Article 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Senior Notes 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 such person's own affairs.

However, the Trustee will examine the certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee to determine whether or not such certificates or Opinions of Counsel conform to the requirements of this Senior Notes Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

- 105 -

Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, the Trustee and each Agent may refrain from doing anything that would or might in its opinion based upon legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction be contrary to any law of any state or jurisdiction (including but not limited to the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming a part of it and England & Wales) or any directive or regulation of any agency of any such state or jurisdiction and may do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

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

- 106 -

(h) The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or liable for compliance with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Senior Notes Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to any transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of any interest in any Senior Notes.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Senior 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.

- 108 -

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Senior Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium and interest or Additional Amounts, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Issuer or, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Senior Notes Indenture and services hereunder as shall be agreed from time to time between them.

The Issuer, and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all disbursements, advances and expenses properly incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the properly incurred compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default or potential Event of Default or being requested by the Issuer to undertake duties which the Trustee and the Issuer agree to be of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee under this Senior Notes Indenture, the Issuer or, failing whom, the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee such additional remuneration as shall be agreed between them.

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Senior Notes Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Senior Notes Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) 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 attributable to the Trustee's gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any third-party claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received written notice. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim, with counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer's expense in the defence; provided that if the defendants in any such claim include both the Issuer and the Trustee and the Trustee shall have concluded that there may be legal defences available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer, or the Trustee has concluded that there may be any other actual or potential conflicting interests between the Issuer and the Trustee, the Trustee shall have the right to select separate counsel and the Issuer shall be required to pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel. Any settlement which affects the Trustee may not be entered into without the written consent of the Trustee, unless the Trustee is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Trustee. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

- 109 -

(c) The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Senior Notes Indenture.

Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Senior Notes Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(viii) hereof occurs, the 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 7.07. 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 7.07.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing not less than 60 days prior to the effective date of such removal.

(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 7.09 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 Senior Notes Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail 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 all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. The retiring Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the action or inaction of the successor Trustee. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer's obligations under Section 7.06 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice.

The costs and expenses (including its counsels' fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Issuer. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent's fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent. Upon its resignation and delivery any funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Senior Notes Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.06 hereof.

- 111 -

(b) The Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuer and need have not concern for the interests of, or be under any fiduciary duty or other obligation towards, or have any relationship of agency or trust to, the Holders, except as expressly stated elsewhere in this Senior Notes Indenture.

Section 7.11. FATCA. (a) Mutual Undertaking Regarding Information Reporting and Collection Obligations. Each Party shall, within ten business days of a written request by another Party, supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to it, its operations, or the Senior Notes as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with Applicable Law and shall notify the relevant other Party reasonably promptly in the event that it becomes aware that any of the forms, documentation or other information provided by such Party is (or becomes) inaccurate in any material respect; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to provide any forms, documentation or other information pursuant to this (a) to the extent that: (i) any such form, documentation or other information (or the information required to be provided on such form or documentation) is not reasonably available to such Party and cannot be obtained by such Party using reasonable efforts; or (ii) doing so would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Party constitute a breach of any: (a) Applicable Law; (b) fiduciary duty; or (c) duty of confidentiality. For purposes of this (a), "Applicable Law" shall be deemed to include (i) any rule or practice of any Authority by which any Party is bound or with which it is accustomed to comply; (ii) any agreement between any Authorities; and (iii) any agreement between any Authority and any Party that is customarily entered into by institutions of a similar nature.

(b) Notice of Possible Withholding Under FATCA. The Issuer shall notify each Agent in the event that it determines that any payment to be made by an Agent under the Senior Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated, provided, however, that the Issuer's obligation under this (b) shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Issuer, the Senior Notes, or both.

(c) Agent Right to Withhold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Senior Notes Indenture, each Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Senior Notes for or on account of any Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event the Agent shall make such payment after such deduction or withholding has been made and shall account to the relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so deducted or withheld or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Issuer the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Issuer shall so account to the relevant Authority for such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this (c). If such a withholding or deduction is so required, the Agent will not pay an additional amount in respect of that withholding or deduction.

- 112 -

(d) Issuer Right to Redirect. In the event that the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax will be required by Applicable Law in connection with any payment due to any of the Agents on any Senior Notes, then the Issuer will be entitled to redirect or reorganize any such payment in any way that it sees fit in order that the payment may be made without such deduction or withholding provided that, any such redirected or reorganized payment is made through a recognized institution of international standing and otherwise made in accordance with this Senior Notes Indenture. The Issuer will promptly notify the Agents and the Trustee of any such redirection or reorganization. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 7.11(d).

(e) Instruction. The Trustee and each Agent is entitled to do nothing, without liability, if conflicting, unclear or equivocal instructions are received or in order to comply with any Applicable Law.

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Senior 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 Senior Notes Indenture and such Senior Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby.

Any failure of the Issuer to mail 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 Section 6.04 and Section 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Senior Notes Indenture, the Senior Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Subordination Deed (including any Additional Subordination Deed).

However, any such Holder of a Senior Note or subsequent Holder of a Senior 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.

Article 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Guarantee. (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Senior Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Senior Notes Indenture, the Senior Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Senior 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, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Senior Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Senior 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 immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

- 121 -

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Senior Notes or this Senior Notes Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Senior Notes 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 defence 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 the 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 Senior Notes and this Senior Notes Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee 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 the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee 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 and the Trustee, on the other hand,

(i) 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

(ii) 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.

(ii) the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Senior Notes Indenture; and

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer's Certificate and an opinion of independent counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent in this Senior Notes Indenture relating to satisfaction and discharge of this Senior Notes Indenture have been satisfied such satisfaction and discharge will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Senior Notes Indenture; provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer's Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the Sections 11.01(a)(i) through 11.01(a)(iii) hereof).

(b) Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Senior Notes Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01(a)(i)(B) hereof, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Senior Notes Indenture.

(c) If requested in writing by the Issuer in the Officer’s Certificate that accompanies any Satisfaction and Discharge deposit, the Trustee or Paying Agent may distribute any amounts deposited in trust to Holders of the Senior Notes prior to maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

(f) Any redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Senior Notes Indenture shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Senior Notes Indenture.

(6) REDEMPTION FOR CHANGES IN TAXES.

The Issuer may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior written notice to the Holders (which notice will be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3.03 and Section 12.01 of the Senior Notes Indenture), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the date fixed by the Issuer for redemption (a "Tax Redemption Date") and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Senior Notes, (x) the Issuer or a Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts or (y) any payments on the Proceeds Bonds would become subject to withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of Nigeria or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax at a rate in excess of 7.5% (calculated after giving effect to any reduction of such rate under the applicable tax treaty between the Netherlands and Nigeria) ("Proceeds Bond Withholding"), and in each case the Issuer or Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available, and the requirement arises as a result of:

(1) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, on a date after the Issue Date, such later date); or

(2) any amendment to, or change in, an official position, or the introduction of an official position, regarding the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, regulations, treaties or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment, or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice) which amendment, change or introduction becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable on a date after the Issue Date, such later date) (each of the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), a "Change in Tax Law").

The Issuer will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Senior Notes was then due, and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts or Proceeds Bond Withholding must be in effect at the time such notice is given. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Senior Notes pursuant to this Senior Notes Indenture, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that obligation to pay such Additional Amounts or Proceeds Bond Withholding cannot be avoided by the Issuer (or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable) taking reasonable measures available to it; and (ii) a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Issuer of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that the Issuer (or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable) has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts or Proceeds Bond Withholding as a result of a Change in Tax Law.

Exh A-9

The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer will make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that Senior Notes of $200,000 or less may only be redeemed in whole and not in part) of that Holder's Senior Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Senior Notes Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Senior Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"), subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Senior Notes Indenture.

(b) If the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer consummates any Asset Sales, within 10 Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $45.0 million, the Issuer will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Senior Notes and may, to the extent the Issuer so elects, make an offer to holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with Section 3.10 of the Senior Notes Indenture the maximum principal amount of Senior Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price for the Senior Notes in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to (i) solely in the case of the Senior Notes, 100% of the principal amount of the applicable series which shall be repurchased in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that $200,000 or less may only be redeemed in whole and not in part; and (ii) solely in the case of any other Pari Passu Indebtedness, no greater than 100% of the principal amount, plus, in the case of (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Senior Notes Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into (or to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds or if the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes tendered pursuant to a Notes Offer or an Asset Sale Offer that is an application of Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(i) of the Senior Notes Indenture exceeds the amount of the Net Proceeds so applied, the Trustee or Registrar, as applicable, will select the Senior Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, if applicable, to be purchased on a pro rata basis (or in the manner described in Section 3.02 of the Senior Notes Indenture), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that $200,000 or less may only be redeemed in whole and not in part. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Holders of Senior Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuer prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Senior Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" attached to the Senior Notes.
