	1.4		Acts of Holders; Record Dates

	1.4.1		Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company and the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

	1.4.2		The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

	1.4.3		The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

1.4.4

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

1.4.5

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

1.4.6

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7.2 or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and without any action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), nor shall anything in this paragraph be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

	1.4.7		With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day, provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

			Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

	1.5		Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company and Guarantor

			Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

1.6

Notice to Holders; Waiver

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.6, in case any series of Securities are listed in any stock exchange, a notice to holders of such Securities given in accordance with the rules and procedures of such stock exchange shall be regarded as a valid notice under this section 1.6.

1.7

Conflict with Trust Indenture Act

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.

Form of Reverse of Security

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more tranches of one or more series under an Indenture dated as of June [ ], 2009 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, Vale S.A., as Guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The full and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, this Security is guaranteed by the Guarantor. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [if applicable, insert —, limited in aggregate principal amount to $[ ]].

[If applicable, insert — The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than [ ] days’ nor more than [ ] days’ notice, at any time [if applicable, insert — on or after [ ], 20[ ]], as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount): If redeemed [if applicable, insert — on or before [ ], [ ]%, and if redeemed] during the 12-month period beginning [ ] of the years indicated,


Year		Redemption o		Price		Year		Redemption o		Price

and thereafter at a Redemption Price equal to [ ]% of the principal amount, together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.]

[If the Security is subject to redemption of any kind, insert — In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

[If the Security is not subject to redemption, insert — This Security is not redeemable prior to Stated Maturity.]

[If applicable, insert — The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of [the entire indebtedness of this Security] [or] [certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security] [,in each case] upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.]

[If the Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.]

[If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Such amount shall be equal to — insert formula for determining the amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal, premium and interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.]

All payments in respect of the Securities shall be made without withholding or deduction for any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands, Brazil or any Successor Jurisdiction or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (“Foreign Taxes”), except to the extent that such Foreign Taxes are required by the Cayman Islands, Brazil, such Successor Jurisdiction or any such authority to be withheld or deducted. In the event of any withholding or deduction for any Foreign Taxes, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by the Holders of Securities after such withholding or deduction equals the respective amounts of principal, [premium] and interest which would have been receivable in respect of such Securities had no such withholding or deduction (including for any Foreign Taxes payable in respect of Additional Amounts) been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any payment on a Security:

(i)

to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for any such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges in respect of such Security by reason of (A) a connection between the Holder and the Cayman Islands or Brazil other than the mere holding of such Security and the receipt of payments with respect to such Security or (B) failure by the Holder to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Cayman Islands, Brazil or a Successor Jurisdiction, or applicable political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax, of such Holder, if compliance is required by such jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge and the Company has given the Holders at least 30 days’ notice that Holders will be required to provide such certification, identification or other requirement;

(ii)

in respect of any such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges with respect to a Security surrendered (if surrender is required) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice thereof given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder of such Security would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on surrender of such Security for payment on the last day of such 30-day period;

(iii)

in respect of estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed with respect to a Security;

(iv)

in respect of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on any series of Securities or by direct payment by the Company or the Guarantor in respect of claims made against the Company or the Guarantor;

(v)

where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or

(vi) in respect of any combination of the above.

For purposes of the provisions described in clause (i) above, the term “Holder” of any Security means the direct nominee of any beneficial owner of such Security, which holds such beneficial owner’s interest in such Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on the Company’s or the Guarantor’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts set forth in clause (i) above shall not apply if the provision of information, documentation or other evidence described in such clause (i) would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Security (taking into account any relevant differences between U.S. and Cayman Islands or Brazilian law, regulation or administrative practice) than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law (including tax treaties between the United States and the Cayman Islands or Brazil), regulation (including proposed regulations) and administrative practice.

The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall promptly provide the Trustee with documentation (which may consist of certified copies of such documentation) satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Foreign Taxes in respect of which the Company or the Guarantor has paid any Additional Amounts. Copies of such documentation shall be made available to the Holders of the Securities or the Paying Agent, as applicable, upon request therefor.

The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay all stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar duties, if any, which may be imposed by the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any governmental entity or political subdivision therein or thereof, or any taxing authority of or in any of the foregoing, with respect to the Indenture or the issuance of the Securities or the Guaranties.

All references herein or in the Indenture to principal, premium or interest in respect of any Security or Guaranty shall be deemed to include all Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect of such principal, premium or interest, unless the context otherwise requires, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding reference to Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Securities pursuant to the preceding paragraph are based on rates of deduction or withholding of taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Securities, and, as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Securities, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title, and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company and the Guarantor. However, by making such assignment, the Holder makes no representation or warranty that the Company or the Guarantor will be entitled to receive such claim for a refund or credit and incurs no other obligation with respect thereto.

All references in the Indenture and the Securities to principal in respect of any Security shall be deemed to mean and include any Redemption Price or Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security pursuant to any redemption or repurchase right hereunder (and all such references to the Stated Maturity of the principal in respect of any Security shall be deemed to mean and include the Redemption Date or Repurchase Date with respect to any such Redemption Price or Repurchase Price), and all such references to principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts shall be deemed to mean and include any amount payable in respect hereof pursuant to Section 10.7 of the Indenture, and express mention of the payment of any Redemption Price, or Repurchase Price or any such other amount in any provision hereof or of the Indenture shall not be construed as excluding reference to the payment of any Redemption Price or Repurchase Price, or any such other amounts in those provisions hereof where such express reference is not made.

The Company may redeem the Securities if, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules, or regulations thereunder) of the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation, administration or application of such laws, rules, or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change of such laws, rules, or regulations or the interpretation thereof becomes effective on or after [Insert date specified therefor in Securities of the applicable series], the Company would be obligated, after taking measures the Company considers reasonable to avoid such requirement, to pay Additional Amounts in excess of the Additional Amounts that the Company would be obligated to pay if payments made on the Securities were subject to withholding or deduction of Foreign Taxes at the rate of 15%. In such event, the Securities are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole but not in part, at the election of the Company, at a cash price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, (ii) any accrued original issue discount thereon to the date fixed for redemption, (iii) accrued and unpaid current interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, (iv) any premium applicable in the case of redemption prior to Maturity, and (v) any Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture) which would otherwise be payable up to but not including the Redemption Date.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any [premium or] interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office of the Trustee or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any [premium and] interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due surrender of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

		The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any two of its Directors or its attorneys in fact in accordance with its Bylaws. The Guaranty on the Securities shall be endorsed on behalf of the Guarantor by any two of its officers or its attorneys in fact in accordance with its Bylaws. The signature of any of these Directors, officers or attorneys in fact on the Securities or the Guaranty may be manual or facsimile.

			Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers or attorneys in fact of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. Guaranties bearing the manual or facsimile endorsement of individuals who were at any time the proper officers or attorneys in fact of the Guarantor shall bind the Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of Securities bearing such endorsement or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

			At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company and properly endorsed by the Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

	3.3.1		if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.1, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

	3.3.2		if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

	3.3.3		that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and

	3.3.4		that the Guaranty, when the Securities upon which it shall have been endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and when properly endorsed by the Guarantor in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and the general equity principles.

			If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if, in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee, the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture.

			Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued and in that case the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company and the Guarantor of any of such Securities and the Guaranty, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 3.1 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.8, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

3.4

Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and registering transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided; provided, however, that the Company may appoint co-Security Registrars. Such Security Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Company.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, the Company shall execute and the Guarantor shall endorse, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this Section, Securities of any series (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose.

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and the Guarantor shall endorse, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

			No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 9.6 or 11.5 not involving any registration of transfer.

			Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar, duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

			If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.2 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

			All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered for such registration of transfer or exchange.

			The provisions of Clauses 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.4.3, 3.4.4 and 3.4.5 below shall apply only to Global Securities:

	3.4.1		Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

	3.4.2		Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Securities, no Global Security of a series may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security of a series in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when such Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case, a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility or (B) the Company in its sole discretion determines that individual Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute and the Guarantor will endorse, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, individual Securities of such series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to Clause (A) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to Clause (B) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security, provided that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.

	3.4.3		In any exchange pursuant to Clause 3.4.2 above, the Company will execute and the Guarantor will endorse and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver individual Securities in registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Individual Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

			If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.4.2(B) with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such series on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Guarantor shall endorse, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new individual Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Persons’ beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of individual Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

	3.4.4		In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Clause 3.4.2 above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

	3.4.5		Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act (including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) and account holders and participants therein) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security, or under any Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

	3.4.6		None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

	3.5		Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities

			If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, the Guarantor shall endorse and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

			In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security upon compliance with the foregoing provisions.

			Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

			Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

			The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

	3.6		Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved

			Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

			Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause 3.6.1 or 3.6.2 below:

	3.6.1		The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause 3.6.2.

	3.6.2		The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

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

	3.7		Persons Deemed Owners

			Prior to due surrender of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.6) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

	3.8		Cancellation

			All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary procedures, unless otherwise directed by a Company Order.

	3.9		Computation of Interest

			Unless otherwise specified under Section 3.1 with respect to the Securities of a particular series, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

	3.10		CUSIP or “ISIN” Numbers

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

Satisfaction And Discharge

	4.1		Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

			This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

	4.1.1		either

(i)

all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.5 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii)

	5.2		Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

			If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities (other than those Events of Default in Sections 5.1.5 and 5.1.6 insofar as they relate to the Company and the Guarantor but not to a Significant Subsidiary of the Guarantor), occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case, including an Event of Default in Sections 5.1.5 and 5.1.6 relating to a Significant Subsidiary of the Guarantor, the Trustee shall, at the written request of the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by notice in writing to the Company, declare the principal of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration such principal and any accrued interest and any unpaid Additional Amounts thereon shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 5.1.5 and 5.1.6 occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company or the Guarantor (but not a Significant Subsidiary of the Guarantor), the principal and any accrued interest, together with any Additional Amounts thereon, on all of the Securities of that series then Outstanding shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

			At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

5.2.1

the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(i)

all overdue interest and any Additional Amounts thereon on all of the Securities of that series,

(ii)

the principal of any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration,

(iii)

to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by (or prescribed therefor in) the Securities of that series, and

(iv)

all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 6.7; and

	5.2.2		all Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

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

	5.3		Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee

			The Company covenants that if

	5.3.1		default is made in the payment of any interest (including any Additional Amounts) on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

	5.3.2		default is made in the payment of the principal (including any Redemption Price or Repurchase Price) of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

			the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate borne by (or prescribed therefor in) such Securities, together with any Additional Amounts thereon, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

			If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of that series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

	5.4		Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

			In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

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

	5.5		Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities

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

	5.6		Application of Money Collected

			Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

			FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7;

			SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and

			THIRD: Any remaining amounts shall be repaid to the Company.

	5.7		Limitation on Suits

			No Holder of any Securities of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

	5.7.1		such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;

	5.7.2		the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

	5.7.3		such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

	5.7.4		the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

	5.7.5		no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;

			it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

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

			Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.6) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase, on the Redemption Date or Repurchase Date, as the case may be), and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

	5.9		Restoration of Rights and Remedies

			If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the 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.

	5.10		Rights and Remedies Cumulative

			Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.5, 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 or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

	5.11		Delay or Omission Not Waiver

			No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security 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 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.

	5.12		Control by Holders

			The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that

	5.12.1		such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

	5.12.2		the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

	5.12.3		subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability against which indemnity would not be satisfactory.

	5.13		Waiver of Past Defaults

			Subject to Section 5.2, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past Event of Default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default

	5.13.1		in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or

	5.13.2		in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

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

	5.14		Undertaking for Costs

			In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company, the Guarantor, or the Trustee or in any suit to require the Company to repurchase any Security in accordance with its terms.

	5.15		Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws

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

The Trustee

	6.1		Certain Duties and Responsibilities

			The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

	6.2		Notice of Default; Potential Default

			If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act (a “Notice of Default”). Specifically, the Trustee shall provide Notice of Default to each Holder promptly, but in no event later than within 15 days of occurrence, and in the manner provided by Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act or any successor section thereto, of any default of which the Trustee is aware. The Trustee shall also provide a notice to each Holder of any claim of default within 30 days of receiving a written assertion of such claim from Holders of no less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities then outstanding. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. If on the Business Day prior to an Interest Payment Date the Company has not deposited with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay the interest due on the next Interest Payment Date, then the Trustee shall provide written notice to the Guarantor of such failure.

	6.3.9		the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder;

	6.3.10		the Trustee may request that the Company or the Guarantor deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded;

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

	6.3.14		the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruption, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; it being understood that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

			The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company and the Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

	6.6		Money Held in Trust

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

	6.7		Compensation and Reimbursement

	6.7.1		The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the parties for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust).

			When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1.5 or Section 5.1.6, the expenses (including the reasonable and documented charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

			No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

	6.10.1		the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

	6.10.2		the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

	6.10.3		the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

			then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or

			(B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

			If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

			The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

	6.11		Acceptance of Appointment by Successor

			In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

			In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

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

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

	6.12		Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business

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

	6.13		Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company

			If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

	6.14		Appointment of Authenticating Agent

			The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer, or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 3.5, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, be subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and have a long-term unsecured debt rating with respect to U.S. dollar obligations of at least A2 or its equivalent rating by Moody’s. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

			Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

			An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

			The Company and the Guarantor agree to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

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

			This is one of the Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than five Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

	10.3		Money for Security Payments To Be Held in Trust

			Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on the business day prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit in Dollars with a Paying Agent in New York, New York a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

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

			The Company and the Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 15 days after the Company or the Guarantor becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

	10.5		Reports by Company and Guarantor

			The Company (unless at the time no Outstanding Securities have been registered with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act) and the Guarantor shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, and transmit to Holders, such information, documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to such Act.

			Notwithstanding that the Guarantor may not be required to remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12, 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Guarantor will continue to file with the Commission and provide the Trustee with such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which are specified in Sections 12, 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

			Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s and the Guarantor’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

	10.6		Limitation on Liens

			Neither the Company nor the Guarantor will create, incur, issue or assume any Indebtedness secured by any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, without in any such case effectively providing that the Securities (together with, if the Company or Guarantor shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Company or Guarantor) shall be secured equally and ratably with or prior to such secured Indebtedness.

			For the purposes of this Section, the (i) giving of a guarantee which is secured by a Lien upon or in respect of any asset of the Company or the Guarantor, and (ii) the creation of a Lien upon or in respect of any asset of the Company or the Guarantor to secure Indebtedness which existed prior to the creation of such Lien, shall be deemed to involve the incurrence of Indebtedness in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Indebtedness effectively secured by such Lien.

	10.7		Payment of Additional Amounts

	10.7.1		All payments in respect of the Securities shall be made without withholding or deduction for any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands, Brazil or any Successor Jurisdiction or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (“Foreign Taxes”), except to the extent that such Foreign Taxes are required by the Cayman Islands, Brazil, such Successor Jurisdiction or any such authority to be withheld or deducted. In the event of any withholding or deduction for any Foreign Taxes, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by the Holders of Securities after such withholding or deduction equals the respective amounts of principal, premium and interest which would have been receivable in respect of such Securities had no such withholding or deduction (including for any Foreign Taxes payable in respect of Additional Amounts) been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any payment on a Security:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

in respect of estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed with respect to a Security;

(iv)

(v)

(vi) in respect of any combination of the above.

For purposes of the provisions described in Clause (i) above, the term “Holder” of any Security means the direct nominee of any beneficial owner of such Security, which holds such beneficial owner’s interest in such Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on the Company’s or the Guarantor’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts set forth in Clause (i) above shall not apply if the provision of information, documentation or other evidence described in such Clause (i) would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Security (taking into account any relevant differences between U.S. and Cayman Islands or Brazilian law, regulation or administrative practice) than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law (including tax treaties between the United States and the Cayman Islands or Brazil), regulation (including proposed regulations) and administrative practice.

The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall promptly provide the Trustee with documentation, if any, (which may consist of certified copies of such documentation) reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Foreign Taxes in respect of which the Company or the Guarantor has paid any Additional Amounts. Copies of such documentation shall be made available to the Holders of the Securities or the Paying Agent, as applicable, upon request therefor.

In respect of the Securities issued hereunder, at least 10 days prior to the first date of payment of interest on the Securities and at least 10 days prior to each date, if any, of payment of principal or interest thereafter if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company and the Guarantor shall furnish the Trustee and each Paying Agent with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent as to whether such payment of principal of or any interest on such Securities shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge. If any such deduction or withholding shall be required by the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any Successor Jurisdiction or any authority therein having power to tax, then such certificate shall specify, by country, the amount, if any, required to be deducted or withheld on such payment to Holders of such Securities, and the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, (if payment is then due under the Guaranty) shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee or such Paying Agent Additional Amounts, if any, required by this Section. The Company and the Guarantor agree to indemnify the Trustee and each Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section, the obligation of the Company and the Guarantor to so indemnify being joint and several.

	10.7.2		The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay all stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar duties, if any, which may be imposed by the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any other governmental entity or political subdivision therein or thereof, or any taxing authority of or in any of the foregoing, with respect to the Indenture or the issuance of the Securities or the Guaranty.

	10.7.3		The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall provide each Paying Agent and any withholding agent under relevant tax regulations with copies of each certificate received by the Company or the Guarantor from a Holder of a Security pursuant to the text of such Security. Each such Paying Agent and withholding agent shall retain each such certificate received by it for as long as any Security is outstanding and in no event for less than four years after its receipt, and for such additional period thereafter, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, as such certificate may become material in the administration of applicable tax laws.

	10.7.4		In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Securities pursuant to the preceding paragraph are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Securities, and, as a result thereof, such Holder is entitled to make claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Securities, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title, and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company or the Guarantor. However, by making such assignment, the Holder makes no representation or warranty that the Company or the Guarantor will be entitled to receive such claim for a refund or credit and incurs no other obligation with respect thereto.

	10.7.5		All references in this Indenture and the Securities to principal, premium or interest in respect of any Security shall be deemed to mean and include all Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect of such principal, premium or interest, unless the context otherwise requires, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding reference to Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. All references in this Indenture and the Securities to principal in respect of any Security shall be deemed to mean and include any Redemption Price or Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security pursuant to any redemption or repurchase right hereunder (and all such references to the Stated Maturity of the principal in respect of any Security shall be deemed to mean and include the Redemption Date or Repurchase Date with respect to any such Redemption Price or Repurchase Price), and all such references to principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts shall be deemed to mean and include any amount payable in respect hereof pursuant to Section 10.7, and express mention of the payment of any Redemption Price or Repurchase Price, or any such other amount in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding reference to the payment of any Redemption Price or Repurchase Price, or any such other amounts in those provisions hereof where such express reference is not made.

	10.8		Indemnification of Judgment Currency

			The Company and the Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify the Trustee and any Holder of a Security against any loss incurred by the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under this Indenture or such Security and being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars, and as a result of any variation between (i) the rate of exchange at which the Dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in The City of New York at which the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Trustee or such Holder. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and the Guarantor and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “spot rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Dollars.

	10.9		Further Acts; Protection of Collateral

	10.9.1		The Company and the Guarantor will each take any action, satisfy any condition or do any thing (including the obtaining or effecting of any necessary consent, approval, authorization, exemption, filing, license, order, recording or registration) at any time required in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations to be taken, fulfilled or done in order (i) to enable it lawfully to enter into, exercise its rights and perform and comply with its obligations under the Securities, this Indenture and any supplemental indenture, as the case may be, including any security interest created thereby, (ii) to ensure that those obligations are legally binding and enforceable, (iii) to make the Securities, this Indenture and any supplemental indenture admissible in evidence in the courts of the State of New York, the Cayman Islands and Brazil and (iv) to enable the Trustee to exercise and enforce its respective rights under this Indenture and any supplemental indenture and to carry out the terms, provisions and purposes of this Indenture and any supplemental indenture.

	10.9.2		The Company shall from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared), execute, file and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments (including any additional financing statements, instruments, control agreements or other documents necessary due to change in applicable law, rule or regulation or otherwise), and shall take such other action necessary or advisable to:

(i)

maintain or preserve any Lien and first priority security interest that may be created pursuant to any supplemental indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes thereof;

(ii)

perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Lien and first priority security interest that may be created pursuant to any supplemental indenture; or

(iii)

enforce the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Securities in any collateral or security interest that may be created pursuant to any supplemental indenture; or

(iv)

preserve and defend title to any collateral or security interest that may be created pursuant to any supplemental indenture and the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Securities in any collateral or security interest that may be created pursuant to any supplemental indenture against the claims of all Persons and parties.

	10.9.3		The Company hereby authorizes the Trustee to file any financing statement, including any amendments or continuations of any original financing statements, with respect to any collateral and or security interest that may be created pursuant to any supplemental indenture and identifying the Company as the debtor as the Trustee deems necessary or desirable.

			The Company hereby designates the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no duty as to maintaining, perfecting or collecting any collateral or security interest that may be created pursuant to any supplemental indenture.

	10.10		Notice of Late Payment

The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when it, the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries holds or beneficially owns Securities.

	10.12		Securities Issued or Outstanding

The Company or the Guarantor will cause all of its properties and its business to be insured against all damages, claims, interruptions and loss encountered in the normal course of business.

	11.1		Right of Redemption

	11.1.1		The Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity may not be redeemed at the election of the Company except in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities) in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

	11.1.2		The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company, notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities specified therefor in the Securities of a series to be redeemed.

11.1.3

If, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulation thereunder) of the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation, administration or application of such laws, rules or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change of such laws, rules or regulations or the interpretation thereof becomes effective on or after the date specified therefor in the Securities of a series, the Company would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the Securities of such series pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof in excess of those attributable to Cayman Islands or Brazilian withholding tax on the basis of a statutory rate of 15%, and if such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company after taking measures the Company considers reasonable to avoid it, then, at the Company’s option, the Securities of such series may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders of such Securities, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof and any premium applicable thereto, together with accrued interest up to but not including the Redemption Date and any Additional Amounts which would otherwise be payable up to but not including the Redemption Date; provided, however, that (1) no notice of such redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would but for such redemption be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment on such Securities then due, and (2) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

	11.1.4		Before any notice of redemption pursuant to Section 11.1.3 is given to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities of the relevant series, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the condition or conditions precedent to the right of the Company so to redeem have occurred or been satisfied and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company has or shall become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment. Such notice, once given to the Trustee, shall be irrevocable.

	11.2		Notice of Redemption

			Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register.

			All notices of redemption shall state:

	11.2.1		the Redemption Date,

	11.2.2		the Redemption Price and amount of accrued interest, if any,

	11.2.3		that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and any accrued interest shall become due and payable upon each Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

	11.2.4		the conversion rate (if applicable), the date on which the right to convert the Securities to be redeemed shall terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

	11.2.5		the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest, and

	11.2.6		applicable CUSIP or ISIN Numbers.

			Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, and such notice, when given to the Holders, shall be irrevocable.

	11.3		Deposit of Redemption Price

			On the Business Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

	11.4		Securities Payable on Redemption Date

			Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company to the Person in whose name such Security is registered at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.6.

			If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by (or prescribed therefor in) the Security.

	11.5		Securities Redeemed in Part

			Any Security of a series which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

			If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected less than 61 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by lot or, in the Trustee’s discretion, on a pro rata basis, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for such Security. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence, and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amounts thereof to be redeemed.

			The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

			For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

Guaranty

	12.2.5		any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of the Indenture or any Security, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on any Security or any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture; or

	12.2.6		any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

	12.3		Discharge; Reinstatement

			The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security or any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

	12.4		Waiver by the Guarantor

	12.4.1		The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other Person. The Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

	12.5		Subrogation and Contribution

			Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Company under this Article, the Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Securities of the relevant series shall have been paid in full.

	12.6		Stay of Acceleration

			If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company under the Indenture or the Securities is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantor forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders.

	12.7		Execution and Delivery of Guaranty

			The execution by the Guarantor of the Indenture or a supplemental indenture evidences the Guaranty of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Security. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Guaranty set forth in the Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.4 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (ii) the respective obligations of the Company and the Guarantor with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 10.2 and 10.3, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) the provisions set forth in this Article Thirteen.

	13.4.2		In the event of any election to have Section 13.2 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, in either case (i) or (ii) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

	13.4.3		In the event of an election to have Section 13.3 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to the effected with respect to such Security and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

	13.4.4		No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 5.1.5 and 5.1.6, at any time on or prior to the day which is 90 days after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such day which is 90 days after the date of such deposit).

	13.4.5		Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act).

	13.4.6		Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or the Guarantor is a party or by which either is bound.

	13.4.7		Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

	13.4.8		The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

			Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.4 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

			The Company and the Guarantor shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.4, or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

			Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Order any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.4 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

	13.6		Reinstatement.

			If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order of judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company and the Guarantor have been discharged or released pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantor make any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or the Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

In Witness Whereof , the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, as of the day and year first above written.
