Section 1.06.Financial Calculations. When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, in each case in connection with any acquisition, repayment of debt or Investment, including by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation or similar transaction, by Parent or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, with respect to which Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiaries have entered into an agreement or is otherwise contractually committed to consummate and the consummation of which is not expressly conditioned upon the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (each, a “Limited Condition Transaction”), the date of determination of such basket or ratio and of any Default or Event of Default may, at the option of the Issuer, be the date the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into. Any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis, including with such adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio,” after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had been consummated at the beginning of the applicable period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such Limited Condition Transaction; provided that if the Issuer elects to make such determination as of the date of such definitive agreement(s), then (x) if any of such ratios are no longer complied with or baskets are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios or baskets will not be deemed to have been no longer complied with or exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted under this Indenture and (y) such ratios or baskets shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related transactions; provided, further, that if the Issuer elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement(s), any such transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreement(s) is entered into and shall be deemed outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any ratios or baskets under the Indenture after the date of such definitive agreement(s) and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, unless such definitive agreement(s) is terminated or such Limited Condition Transaction or incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock or such other transaction to which pro forma effect is being given does not occur.

In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, unless the Issuer elects otherwise, if the Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions, (A) incurs Indebtedness or Liens, makes asset sales or other dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under or as permitted by a ratio-based basket and (B) incurs Indebtedness or Liens, makes asset sales or other dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under or as permitted by a non-ratio-based basket (which shall occur on the same business day as the events in clause (A) above), then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the applicable ratio-based basket without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket made in connection with such transaction or series of related transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, all Indebtedness substantially contemporaneously incurred will be included for purposes of determining compliance with incurrence-based ratio tests outside Sections 4.03 and 4.12.

ARTICLE 2

at such time permitted by Section 4.03 and (ii) such Additional Notes are issued in compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 3.06, 3.08, 4.08(c) or Appendix A (the “Appendix”)), there shall be (a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes:

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or the indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes.

The Notes, including any Additional Notes, shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

Section 2.02.Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in the Appendix, which is hereby incorporated into and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Original Notes and the certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes and the certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which any Issuer or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

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

Section 2.03.Execution and Authentication. The Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, as applicable, shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”) (a) Original Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of €276,174,000 and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein. Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Appendix, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

-31-

One Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent manually or electronically signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee or the Issuer may appoint one or more authenticating agents (each an “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. An Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. The Issuer hereby initially appoints DBTCA as Authenticating Agent, and DBTCA hereby accepts such appointment.

Section 2.04.Paying Agent and Registrar.

(a)The Issuer shall maintain one or more paying agents (each, a “Paying Agent”) for the Notes and may appoint additional Paying Agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer initially appoints DBTCA, as Paying Agent. In addition, the Issuer undertakes that it will ensure that it maintains a Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the Council of the European Union Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council meeting of 26 and 27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or any law implementing, or complying with or introduced in order to conform to, such directive.

(b)The Issuer shall also maintain one or more registrars (each, a “Registrar”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The Issuer initially appoints DBTCA as Registrar.

(c)The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee or its designee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06. The Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(d)The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee and without prior notice to any Holder; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee (or its designee) shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Parent and the Trustee.

(e)The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch to act as Common Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.05.Paying Agent to Hold Money. By 10:00 a.m. London time one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Issuer shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent acts as Paying

-32-

Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee (or the Trustee’s designee) and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee (or its designee) shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.06.Holder Lists. The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar or if the Paying Agent is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, as applicable, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment record date and at such other times as the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.07.Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor of this Indenture are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Notes (i) selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed), (ii) for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or (iii) between a regular record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

Section 2.08.Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, such that the Holder (a) provides satisfactory evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking to the Issuer or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer or the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC

-33-

(a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

Section 2.09.Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.04, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

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

If a Paying Agent segregates, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date or any date of purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed, maturing or purchased, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.10.Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Definitive Notes and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11.Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee or the Registrar for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent may forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else shall, at the written request of the Issuer, cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee), except that so long as the Notes are denominated in euro currency, the Registrar may cancel Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee or the Registrar for cancellation. The Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall not authenticate Notes in place of cancelled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

-34-

Section 2.12.Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment and shall promptly send or cause to be sent to each affected Holder, the Paying Agent and the Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.13.Common Code, ISINs, etc. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent shall use ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly advise the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent in writing of any change in the ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

Section 2.14.Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 13.04 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01.Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole, or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 5 of the form of Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, and, in the case of a redemption pursuant to the “Redemption for Tax Reasons” provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Notes all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date.

Section 3.02.Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuer or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article.

Section 3.03.Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions or “Redemption for Tax Reasons” provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent provided for in this Section 3.03 at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date if the redemption is pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Note; provided that notice may be given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Section 8.01. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time by written

-35-

notice to the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

In addition, if the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption or redemption for tax reasons provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Notes prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of any Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that they are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to their right so to redeem have been satisfied and (b) if the redemption is for tax reasons, an opinion of an independent tax counsel of the Issuer’s choosing of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee shall accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

Section 3.04.Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption, the Registrar will select Notes for redemption pro rata, by lot or by such other method in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream or the relevant clearing system (including by the pro rata reduction of the principal amount of all Notes by the application of a “pool factor” in accordance with the normal procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream); provided that no Notes in denominations of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Registrar shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Registrar may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than €100,000. Notes and portions of them that the Registrar selects shall be in principal amounts of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Registrar shall notify the Issuer and the Trustee as soon as practicable of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

(c)Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of a redemption related to an Equity Offering, the consummation of such Equity Offering). If such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date (whether the original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed).

The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (i) through (xxiv) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), then Parent shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Global Revolver on the Issue Date shall be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under Section 4.03(b)(i). In addition, in the event an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(b) (other than clause (xiv) above) on the same date that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued under Section 4.03(a) or clause (xiv) above, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, or applicable leverage ratio, will be calculated with respect to such incurrence or issuance under Section 4.03(a) or clause (xiv) above without regard to any incurrence or issuance under Section 4.03(b) (other than clause (xiv) above).

Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. Any Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, to refinance Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (xii), (xiii) and (xiv), of Section 4.03(b) will be permitted to include additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay (I) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness, any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Disqualified Stock being so refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased and (II) the amount of any tender premium or penalty or premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument or documents governing such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and any defeasance costs and any fees and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance of such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock (and, with respect to Indebtedness under Credit Facilities that include commitments to make loans or extend credit on a revolving basis, will be permitted to include an amount equal to any unutilized portion of such commitments being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to the extent that (i) the unutilized portion of such commitments was permitted to be incurred as Indebtedness immediately prior to such refinancing, extension, replacement, renewal

-44-

or defeasance and (ii) the unutilized portion of such commitments being refinanced, extended, replaced, renewed or defeased are permanently terminated at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness).

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness (plus premium (including tender premiums), fees, defeasance costs, accrued interest and expenses including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. The principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of this Section 4.03 shall be determined after giving effect to the appreciation of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any other such Indebtedness.

Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

For purposes of this Indenture (1) unsecured Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and (2) senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

If any Indebtedness is incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued, in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, and any refinancing thereof would cause the percentage of Consolidated Total Assets to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated Total Assets on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated Total Assets will not be deemed to be exceeded to the extent the principal amount of such newly incurred Indebtedness, the liquidation preference of such newly issued Disqualified Stock or the amount of such newly issued Preferred Stock does not exceed the sum of (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, the liquidation preference of such Disqualified Stock or the amount of such Preferred Stock being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness, any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Disqualified Stock being so refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased plus (iii) the amount of any tender premium or penalty or premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument or documents governing such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and any defeasance costs and any fees and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance of such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock.

(C)100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by Parent, of marketable securities or other property (other than cash) contributed to the capital of Parent following the Existing Notes Issue Date (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds have been used to incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (xii)(a) of Section 4.03(b)) (other than (i) by a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) Disqualified Stock or debt securities that have been converted into Disqualified Stock); plus

(II)the sale or other distribution (other than to Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than in each case to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clauses (vii) or (viii) of Section 4.04(b) or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment under clause (xii) of such definition) or a dividend or distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary since the Existing Notes Issue Date; plus

(xi)payments or distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law, pursuant to or in connection with a consolidation, merger or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that complies with Section 5.01;

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (vii) or (viii) of Section 4.04(b) hereof, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

In determining whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by this Section 4.04, Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries may classify or reclassify all or any portion of such Restricted Payment among the categories described in clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 4.04(b) or among such categories and the types of Restricted Payments described in Section 4.04(a) (including categorization in whole or in part as a Permitted Investment); provided that, at the time of such classification or reclassification, all such Restricted Payments, or classified or reclassified portions thereof, would be permitted under the various provisions of this Section 4.04.

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date the Restricted Payment is made, or at the Issuer’s election, the date a commitment is made to make such Restricted Payment, of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

As of the Issue Date, all of Parent’s Subsidiaries will be Restricted Subsidiaries. Parent shall not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the second to last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation shall only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or clauses (vii) or (viii) of Section 4.04(b) or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investment” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Indenture.

Section 4.05.Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries. Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not the Issuer or Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or allow to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any of the Guarantors on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of the Guarantors;

(b)make loans or advances to the Issuer or any Guarantor; or

-50-

(x)other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred or issued subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.03;

(xii)customary provisions contained in leases, subleases, licenses or sublicenses, Equity Interests or asset sale agreements and other similar agreements, including with respect to intellectual property, in each case, entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xiii)customary provisions restricting assignment of any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xiv)other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary that is incurred subsequent to the Issue Date, provided that such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is permitted to be incurred subsequent to the Issue Date under Section 4.03 and either (i) the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness are no less favorable to Parent in any material respect, taken as a

-51-

whole, as determined by Parent in good faith, than the provisions contained in this Indenture as in effect on the Issue Date, (ii) are not more disadvantageous, taken as a whole, to the Holders than is customary in comparable financings for similarly situated issuers or (iii) will not materially impair the Issuer’s ability to make payments on the Notes when due, in each case in the good faith judgment of Parent;

(xv)customary restrictions and conditions contained in any agreement relating to the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of any asset permitted under Section 4.06 pending the consummation of such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition;

(xvii)customary net worth or similar provisions contained in real property leases entered into by Parent or any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business so long as Parent or such Subsidiary has determined in good faith that such net worth or similar provisions could not reasonably be expected to impair the ability of Parent or such Subsidiary to meet its ongoing obligations; and

(xviii)any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in Sections 4.05(a), (b) and (c) above imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (xvii) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of Parent, no more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such encumbrances and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, (1) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (2) the subordination of loans or advances made to Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

Section 4.06.Asset Sales.

(a)Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer) to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

(i)Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value as determined in good faith by Parent (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

-52-

any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms expressly subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantees), that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee and for which Parent and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing,

(b)any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 365 days following the closing of such Asset Sale,

shall in each case be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this Section 4.06(a)(ii) and for no other purpose.

(b)Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, at Parent’s option or such Restricted Subsidiary, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(i)to the extent such Net Proceeds represent proceeds from an Asset Sale of Notes Collateral, (a) to repay, prepay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire the Notes and Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt (and if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) provided that, with respect to this clause (a), to the extent Parent reduces Obligations under any Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt, Parent shall equally and ratably prepay, repay, redeem, reduce or purchase (or offer to prepay, repay, redeem, reduce or purchase, as applicable) Obligations under the Notes on a pro rata basis; provided, further, that all reductions of Obligations under the Notes shall be made as provided under optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Notes through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption) or by an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; or (b) to make an investment in (i) any one or more businesses primarily engaged in a Similar Business; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of (x) a merger with Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, (y) the acquisition of Capital Stock that results in Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary or (z) the acquisition of Capital Stock or other assets of such business, (ii) properties, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) the acquisition of Capital Stock or other assets, that in each of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), are used or useful in a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and assets that are subject of such Asset Sale, and in each case, such investment shall result in the Capital Stock or other assets acquired being owned by an entity whose Capital Stock constitutes Notes Collateral;

-53-

(ii)to the extent that such Net Proceeds do not represent proceeds from an Asset Sale of Notes Collateral, to repay, prepay, defease, redeem, purchase otherwise retire (a) Secured Indebtedness (other than Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt), and if such Secured Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, (b) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owing to Parent or an Affiliate of Parent, and if such Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto and/or (c) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantees, in each case owing to a person other than Parent or any Affiliate of Parent; provided that, with respect to this clause (c), Parent shall equally and ratably prepay, repay, redeem, reduce or purchase (or offer to prepay, repay, redeem, reduce or purchase, as applicable) Obligations under the Notes (and may elect to reduce other non-subordinated Indebtedness) on a pro rata basis; provided, further, that all reductions of Obligations under the Notes shall be made as provided under Article Three, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption) or by an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid;

(iii)to the extent that such Net Proceeds do not represent proceeds from an Asset Sale of Notes Collateral, to make an Investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) other assets that, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c), are used or useful in a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and/or other assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or

(iv)any combination of the foregoing;

provided that, in the case of clauses (i)(b) and (iii) above, a binding commitment entered into within such 365 day period shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as Parent or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (Parent hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds permitted to be repatriated will be applied (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this covenant (net of any additional taxes that are or would be payable or reserved against as a result thereof) and (ii) to the extent that Parent has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition could have a material adverse tax consequence (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any purchase whereby doing so Parent, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates and/or equity partners would incur a material tax liability, including a material tax dividend, material deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or material withholding tax), the amount equal to the Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent this covenant relates to Net Proceeds realized by any Excluded Subsidiary, this covenant shall be an obligation of Parent (and not such Excluded Subsidiary) to make a payment or an offer to purchase, in each case, measured by the amount of such Net Proceeds and nothing in Section 4.06 shall be construed as an obligation of any Excluded Subsidiary to make a payment or

-54-

repatriate any Net Proceeds (or to effect an offer to purchase) or an obligation of the Issuer or any Guarantor to cause an Excluded Subsidiary to make a payment or repatriate Net Proceeds (or effect an offer to purchase).

Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds from one or more Asset Sales exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes and, if required by the terms of any Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt, to the holders of such Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt (an “Asset Sale Offer”), on a pro rata basis, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt that is at least €100,000 and an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. Parent or the Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within twenty (20) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds so exceed $30.0 million by sending the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee and Paying Agent, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream or the relevant clearing system. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to the amount of all or part of the available Net Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”) prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 days (or such longer period provided above) with respect to the amount of all or a part of the available Net Proceeds in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (the “Advance Offer”).

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), Parent or Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) for general corporate purposes, subject to compliance with other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds or Advance Portion, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall select the Notes and such Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.04. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds (or Advance Portion) upon such completion).

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.06, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

Parent and the Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, Parent and the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

Section 4.07.Transactions with Affiliates.

(a)Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer) to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Parent (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(i)such Affiliate Transaction is on terms, taken as a whole, that are not materially less favorable to Parent or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a

-55-

comparable transaction by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis or, if in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of Parent or a committee comprised solely of disinterested members of the board of directors of Parent, such Affiliate Transaction is fair to Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and

(ii)Parent delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the board of directors of Parent or a committee comprised solely of disinterested members of the board of directors of Parent approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above.

(b)Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following:

(i)transactions between or among Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or an entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction, and any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of Parent and any direct or indirect parent of Parent; provided that such parent shall have no material liabilities and no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and Capital Stock of Parent and such merger, consolidation or amalgamation is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and effected for a bona fide business purpose;

(ii)Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.04 and Investments constituting Permitted Investments;

(iii)the payment of customary fees, reasonable out-of-pocket costs to and reimbursement of expenses and compensation paid to, and indemnities provided on behalf of or for the benefit of, future, present or former employees, officers, members of the board of directors (or similar governing body), members of management, managers, consultants or independent contractors (or the estate, heirs, family members, spouse, former spouse, domestic partner or former domestic partner of any of the foregoing) of Parent, in each case, in the ordinary course of business;

(iv)any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment, modification or extension thereof (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as determined in good faith by the board of directors of Parent or a committee comprised solely of disinterested members of the board of directors of Parent) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

(v)(A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, joint ventures, contractors, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services or providers of employees or other labor, or transactions otherwise relating to the purchase or sale of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the good faith determination of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of Parent or a committee comprised solely of disinterested members of the board of directors of Parent, or the senior management of Parent, or are on terms at least as favorable as would reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party on an arm’s-length basis or (B) transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business or the terms of any such transactions are no less favorable to Parent or Restricted Subsidiary participating in such joint ventures than they are to other joint venture partners;

(vi)the sale, issuance or transfer of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock) of Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary to any person and the granting and performance of customary registration rights;

(vii)payments by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries made for any financial advisory, consulting, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking

-56-

activities and other transaction fees, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures which payments are approved by a majority of the board of directors of Parent or a committee comprised solely of disinterested members of the board of directors of Parent in good faith or are otherwise permitted by this Indenture;

(viii)(A) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) or advances to employees, officers, directors, members of management, consultants or independent contractors (or the estate, heirs, family members, spouse, former spouse, domestic partner or former domestic partner of any of the foregoing) of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and collective bargaining agreements, employment agreements, severance arrangements, compensatory (including profit sharing) arrangements, stock option plans, benefit plan, health, disability or similar insurance plan and other similar arrangements with such employees, officers, directors, managers, members of management, consultants or independent contractors (or the estate, heirs, family members, spouse, former spouse, domestic partner or former domestic partner of any of the foregoing) in each case, for bona fide business purposes and (B) any subscription agreement or similar agreement pertaining to the repurchase of Capital Stock pursuant to put/call rights or similar rights with future, present or former employees, officers, directors, members of management, consultants or independent contractors approved by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in good faith;

(ix)the payment of all expenses related to the Exchange Offer and the Additional New Notes Offering incurred or owed after the Issue Date;

(x)any contribution to the capital of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(xi)between Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person, a director of which is also a director of Parent or any direct or indirect parent of Parent; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of Parent or such direct or indirect parent of Parent or of a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

(xii)the issuance of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock option and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of Parent or a committee comprised solely of disinterested members of the board of directors of Parent in good faith;

(xiii)transactions undertaken in good faith (as certified by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Parent in an Officer’s Certificate) for the purposes of improving the consolidated tax efficiency of Parent and its Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any covenant set forth in this Indenture so long as such transactions would not materially adversely affect the Holders;

(xiv)pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

-57-

(xix)investments by any Permitted Holder, Parent or any Affiliate thereof in securities or Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor; and

(xx)the incurrence by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Contran-Funded Subordinated Term Loan Indebtedness.

Section 4.08.Change of Control.

(a)Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control after the Issue Date, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently sent a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in the optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Notes, the Issuer will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the purchase date.

(b)Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee and Paying Agent, to each Holder of Notes to the registered address of such Holder or otherwise electronically in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, with the following information:

(i)that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.08 and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the purchase date;

(ii)the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or otherwise delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(iii)that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

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

(v)if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control;

(vi)that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(vii)that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes; provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; and

-58-

(viii)the instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.08, that a Holder must follow.

(c)The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

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

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described in Section 4.08(c), purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.

The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase by the Issuer of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(d)On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law,

(i)accept for payment all Notes issued by them or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii)deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and not withdrawn; and

(iii)deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Paying Agent for cancellation the Notes so accepted and not withdrawn together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and Paying Agent stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer.

(e)Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.08, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.07 and 3.08 hereof.

Section 4.09.Compliance Certificate. Parent shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Parent, beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023, a certificate (the signer of which shall be the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of Parent) stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of the signer’s duties as an Officer of Parent the signer would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period. If the signer knows of any such Default, the certificate shall describe such Default. Parent is also required, within thirty (30) days, after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to

-59-

the Trustee a statement specifying such Default, its status and the action the Parent is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.10.Further Instruments and Acts. The Issuer shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 4.11.Future Guarantors. Parent shall not permit any of its domestic Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and domestic non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary guarantees Indebtedness under the Global Revolver or Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor), other than the Issuer, a Guarantor or an Excluded Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of (i) any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Credit Facilities incurred under clause (i) of Section 4.03(b) or (ii) any Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of $50.0 million, unless:

(i)such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days (i) executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness will be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee and (ii) executes and delivers a supplement or joinder to the Security Documents or new Security Documents and takes all actions required thereunder to perfect the Liens created thereunder; and

(ii)such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other applicable rights against Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee;

provided that this Section 4.11 will not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. Parent may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary will be required to comply with clause (i) and (ii) above and such Guarantee may be released at any time in Parent’s sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each such Guarantee may be limited as necessary to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors (including those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally) or other considerations under applicable law.

Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 10.03.

Section 4.12.Liens. Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer) to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom.

The expansion of Liens by virtue of accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or

-60-

increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens for purposes of this Section 4.12.

In the event any Lien (or any portion thereof) is incurred, classified or reclassified pursuant to any of clauses (1) through (33) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” on the same date that a Lien is Incurred, classified or reclassified pursuant to clause (34) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” then the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence, classification or reclassification under clause (34) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” without regard to any such Lien incurred, classified or reclassified under clauses (1) through (33) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.”

Section 4.13.Maintenance of Office or Agency; Maintenance of Listing.

(a)The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the office of the Registrar; provided that no service of legal process may be made against the Issuer at any office of the Registrar.

(b)The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c)The Issuer hereby designates the office of the Registrar or its agent as such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04.

(d)After the Final Settlement Date, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain the listing of the Notes on The International Stock Exchange (“TISE”) for so long as such Notes are outstanding; provided that if the Issuer is unable to obtain admission to listing of the Notes on TISE or if at any time the Issuer determines that it will not maintain such listing, it will, prior to the delisting of the Notes from TISE (if then listed on TISE), use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a listing of such Notes on another “recognised stock exchange” as defined in Section 1005 of the Income Tax Act 2007 of the United Kingdom (in which case, references in this covenant to TISE will be deemed to be refer to such other “recognised stock exchange”). In no event will this covenant require the Issuer to obtain or maintain the listing of the Notes on any exchange that requires financial reporting for any fiscal period in addition to the fiscal periods required by the SEC.

Section 4.14.Suspension of Certain Covenants.

(a)If, on any date following the Final Settlement Date, (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture then, beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter until the Reversion Date (as defined below) (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the covenants specifically listed in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07 and 5.01(a)(iv) of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants” and each individually, a “Suspended Covenant”) will not be applicable to the Notes. In the event that Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) that the Notes no longer have an Investment Grade Rating from either of the Rating Agencies, then Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period beginning on the day of a Covenant Suspension Event and ending on a Reversion Date is called the “Suspension Period.”

-61-

On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 shall be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. No Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date (or thereafter) under any Suspended Covenant solely as a result of any actions taken by Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries, or events occurring, during the Suspension Period. On and after each Reversion Date, Parent and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any contract entered into during the Suspension Period (and not in contemplation of the Reversion Date) so long as such contract and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period.

(b)For purposes of Section 4.05, on the Reversion Date, any contractual encumbrances or restrictions of the type specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 4.05 entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date, so that they are permitted under clause (c)(i) of Section 4.05.

(c)For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

(d)For purposes of Section 4.07, any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to a contract, agreement, arrangement, loan, advance or guaranty with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Parent entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect as of the Issue Date for purposes of Section 4.07(b)(iv).

(e)During a Suspension Period, Parent may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(f)Parent shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of the commencement or termination of any Suspension Period. The Trustee shall have no independent obligation to determine if a Suspension Period has commenced or terminated, to notify the Holders regarding the same or to determine the consequences thereof.

Section 4.15.Additional Amounts. All payments of principal and interest on the Notes by the Issuer or any Guarantor (including, in each case, any successor entity) (each, a “Payor”) will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States, any other jurisdiction from or through which payment on any Note or Guarantee thereof is made, or any other jurisdiction in which a Payor is organized, engaged in business for tax purposes, or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (or, in each case, any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax) (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, assessment or other government charge is required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof. The Payor will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as are necessary in order that the net payment received by the beneficial holder, after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:

(i)to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge is imposed by reason of the Holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary Holder, being considered as:

(e)being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, as described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or any successor provision;

(ii)to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(iii)to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other person (A) to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to a partial or complete exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge or (B) to comply with any information gathering or reporting requirements or take any similar actions (including entering into any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service), in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum exemption from withholding that is available to payments received by or on behalf of the Holder;

(iv)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Payor or a paying agent from the payment;

(v)to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge, or excise tax imposed on the transfer of Notes;

(vi)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note as a result of the presentation of any Note for payment (where presentation is required) by or on behalf of a Holder of Notes, if such payment could have been made without such withholding by presenting the relevant Note to at least one other paying agent in a member state of the European Union;

(vii)to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

-63-

(viii)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions that are substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or

(ix)in the case of any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii).

The Payor will pay and indemnify the Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes, the Trustee and Paying Agent for any present or future stamp, transfer, issue, registration, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise, property or similar taxes or similar charges or levies (including any related interest or penalties with respect thereto) that arise in a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or receipt of payments with respect to, any Note, any Guarantee of a Note, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument in relation thereto (limited, solely to the extent of such taxes or similar charges or levies that arise from the receipt of any payments of principal or interest on the Notes, to any such taxes or similar charges or levies that are not excluded under the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) and (v) through (viii) or any combination thereof).

The foregoing obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment under, or with respect to the Notes or Guarantees thereof is made by or on behalf of such Payor, or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable (unless an obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), if the Issuer will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and setting forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to the Holders of such Notes on the relevant payment date.

Except as specifically provided in this Section 4.15, the Issuer will not be required to make any payments for any taxes, assessments or other governmental charges imposed by any government or political subdivision or any taxing authority of any government or political subdivision.

-68-

outstanding Notes by notice to Parent and the Paying Agent (and if given by the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee) may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be due and payable immediately.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (a)(vii) or (viii) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Parent), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable without further action or notice.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind and cancel an acceleration and its consequences:

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

(ii)if all existing Events of Default have been cured, waived, annulled or rescinded except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent permitted by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04.Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on the behalf of all Holders waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a continuing Default or Event of Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and Parent, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05.Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any

-69-

other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06.Limitation on Suits.

(ii)the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee, in writing, to pursue the remedy;

(iii)such Holder has offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

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

Section 6.07.Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08.Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing with respect to Notes, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or the Guarantors on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in such Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.06.

Section 6.09.Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)), the agents hereunder and the Holders of Notes then outstanding allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Guarantors, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian of the Notes in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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

-70-

of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06.

(a)If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (which has not been waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b)Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee (it being agreed that

However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein).

(c)The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)this Section 7.01(c) does not limit the effect of Sections 7.01(b) and 7.01(i);

(ii)the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(e)The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f)The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

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

(h)The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(j)Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon future Holders of Notes and upon Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefor or in place thereof.

(k)In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive 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.

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

-73-

relating to the conduct or affecting the liability or offering protection, immunity or indemnity to the Trustee shall be deemed to apply with the same force and effect to the Registrar, the Collateral Agent, the Transfer Agent, Authenticating Agent and the Paying Agent, and (iii) the obligations of the Trustee, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and the Collateral Agent under this Indenture shall be several and not joint.

(p)The Trustee shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Trustee (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, epidemics, pandemics, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility). In respect of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the Person sending instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information by electronic transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such electronic transmission, and the Trustee shall not have any liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by any party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information. Each other party agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of electronic methods to submit instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

(q)The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

Section 7.03.Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee; provided that, if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign as Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights.

Section 7.04.Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Guarantee, the Notes or any Security Document, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer or any Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, but then only to the extent that the Trustee executed the certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 13.01 hereof from the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Paying Agent or any Holder. In accepting the trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the Holders and not in its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the Holders of Notes and the Issuer having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment. The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Issuer’s compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any Person, other than the Trustee, made in this Indenture.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Trustee to perform any act or acts, receive or obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in property or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation.

Section 7.05.Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and a Trust Officer of the Trustee, has received notice of such Default, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of the

-74-

Default within the later of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after notice of such Default has been delivered to a Trust Officer of the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06.Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be agreed in writing between the Issuer and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, advances or expenses as may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such expenses shall include the compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties under this Indenture and the Security Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, any Guarantee or any Security Document against the Issuer or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Notes, the termination of this Indenture or the removal or resignation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or any Guarantor of their indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes pursuant to Article Eight hereof or otherwise.

The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vii) or (viii) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

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 adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.

“Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.07.Replacement of Trustee.

(a)A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.

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

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

(ii)a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iii)the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(c)If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the date on which the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

(d)A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06.

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

(f)Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.08.Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that a certificate of the Trustee shall have anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture.

Section 7.09.Tax Payment and Tax Withholding Obligations. In order to comply with applicable tax laws, rules and regulations if a foreign financial institution, issuer, trustee, paying agent, holder or other institution is or has agreed to be subject to “Applicable Law” related to this Indenture, the Issuer agrees, upon written request by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, to provide to the Trustee and the Paying Agent such requested information that the Issuer has in its possession about such

-76-

parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so they can determine whether they have any tax related obligations under Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 8

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01.Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Notes when either:

(a)(i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from trust, have been delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation; or (ii) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for the giving of notice of redemption by the Paying Agent in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer and either the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for this purpose), for the benefit of the Holders, cash in euros, European Government Obligations denominated in euro or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certificate delivered to the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to, but not including, the date of maturity or redemption together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer to the Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, acting for the Trustee for this purpose) and the Paying Agent to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be; provided that (i) upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited will be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption and (ii) any Applicable Premium Deficit will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit will be applied toward such redemption;

(b)the Issuer and/or the Guarantors have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture; and

(c)the Issuer has delivered an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with.

Subject to Section 8.02, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to discharge (i) all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11 and 4.12 and the operation of Section 5.01 and Sections 6.01(a)(iii), 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi), 6.01(a)(vii) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of Parent and any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Parent) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary only), 6.01(a)(viii) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of Parent and any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Parent) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary only) and 6.01(a)(ix) (“covenant defeasance option”) with respect to the outstanding Notes. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Issuer terminates all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture by exercising its legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor under its

-77-

Guarantee of the Notes shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations so long as no Notes are then outstanding.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(iii), 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi), 6.01(a)(vii) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of Parent and any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Parent) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary only), 6.01(a)(viii) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of Parent and any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Parent) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary only), 6.01(a)(ix) or because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with subclause (a)(iv) of Section 5.01.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.

Notwithstanding Section 8.01(a) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.06, 7.07 and in this Article Eight shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.06, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 8.02.Conditions to Defeasance.

(a)The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, in each case, with respect to the Notes only if:

(i)the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for this purpose), for the benefit of the Holders, cash in euros, European Government Obligations denominated in euro, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes (provided that if such redemption is made as provided under paragraph 5 of the Note, (x) the amount of cash in euros, European Government Obligations denominated in euro, or a combination thereof, that the Issuer must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited will be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the redemption date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date) and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; provided that (i) upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited will be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption and (ii) any Applicable Premium Deficit will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit will be applied toward such redemption;

(ii)in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (b) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and

-78-

will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(iii)in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(iv)no Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(v)such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(vi)the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and

(vii)the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel required by Section 8.02(a)(ii) with respect to legal defeasance need not be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for the giving of notice of redemption by the Paying Agent in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer.

(b)Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for the redemption of such Notes at a future date in accordance with Article Three.

Section 8.03.Application of Trust Money. The Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for this purpose) shall hold for the benefit of the Holders money or European Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article Eight. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from European Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased.

Section 8.04.Repayment to Issuer. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon written request any money or European Government Obligations denominated in euro held by it as provided in this Article Eight which, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if European Government Obligations denominated in euro have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article Eight.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

-79-

Section 8.05.Indemnity for European Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited European Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such European Government Obligations.

Section 8.06.Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or European Government Obligations denominated in euro in accordance with this Article Eight by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or European Government Obligations denominated in euro in accordance with this Article Eight; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or European Government Obligations denominated in euro held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

Section 9.02.With Consent of the Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.01 of this Indenture and subject to Section 9.06, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents and/or any intercreditor agreement with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any past or existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents or any intercreditor agreement may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with the purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, any applicable series of Notes). Section 2.09 and Section 13.04 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding series of Notes affected, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

(i)reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(ii)reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to Sections 4.06 and 4.08); provided that any amendment to the notice requirements applicable to the Notes may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes;

(iii)reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

-81-

(iv)waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders;

(v)make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note;

(vi)make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;

(vii)make any change to this Section 9.02;

(viii)impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(ix)make any change to or modify the ranking of Notes that would materially adversely affect the Holders;

(x)except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees in any manner materially adverse to the Holders; or

(xi)expressly subordinate the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor.

In addition, without the consent of the Holders of Notes of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of Notes then outstanding, no amendment, supplement or waiver may (i) release all or substantially all of the Notes Collateral other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents; (ii)(a) modify any Security Document or the provisions of this Indenture dealing with the Security Documents or application of trust moneys under the Security Documents, or (b) release any Notes Collateral in any manner materially adverse to the holders of the Notes (subject to clause (i) above with respect to the release of all or substantially all Liens) other than in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents, this Indenture and any applicable intercreditor agreement; or (iii) modify any applicable intercreditor agreement in any manner materially adverse to the holders of the Notes other than in accordance with this Indenture, the Security Documents and such intercreditor agreement. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

Section 9.03.Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.

(a)A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation delivered in accordance with Section 13.01 before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Notes of such series. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuer or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuer and the Trustee.

(b)The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding Section 9.03(a), those Persons who were

-82-

Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Section 9.04.Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee (or the Registrar, at the direction of the Trustee) at the direction of the Issuer may place a notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make a notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05.Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement, or waiver, the Trustee shall receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.02, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in connection with the addition of any Guarantor under this Indenture on the Issue Date upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a Supplemental Indenture in the form of Exhibit C to this Indenture.

Section 9.06.Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent separately on all matters as to which any of such Notes may vote. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article Nine and Section 2.14.

Section 9.07.Payments for Consents. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time period set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or amendment.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES

Section 10.01.Guarantees.

(a)Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees on a secured basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and the Trustee and their successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, if any, the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture

-83-

and the Notes, on the terms set forth in this Indenture by executing this Indenture (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article Ten notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b)Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c)Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d)Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02, 10.03 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.

(e)Subject to Section 10.02 and 10.03 hereof, each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

(f)In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee (or its designee) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee.

(g)Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Trustee in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article Six, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

(h)Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Each Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 10.02.Limitation on Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform

-84-

Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that, any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 10.03.Releases.

(a)A Guarantee by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(i)any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (including through consolidation, merger or otherwise) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, after which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of Parent, or (y) all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, which sale, exchange, disposition or transfer in each case is made in compliance with Section 4.06(a)(i) and (ii) or otherwise in compliance with this Indenture;

(ii)in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11, the release, discharge or termination of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of the guarantee of other Indebtedness which resulted in the creation of such Guarantees, except a release, discharge or termination by or as a result of payment under such guarantee of such other Indebtedness (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.11);

(iii)the permitted designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provision set forth under Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(iv)the consolidation or merger of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such consolidation or merger, or upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor; or

(v)the Issuer exercising its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under Article Eight or the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(b)If the Issuer requests the Trustee to acknowledge any such release, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of such Subsidiary Guarantor, Parent or the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Section 10.04.Successors and Assigns. This Article Ten shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

-85-

Section 10.05.No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article Ten shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article Ten at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 10.06.Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article Ten, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 10.07.Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. Each Restricted Subsidiary which is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a Guarantor under this Article Ten and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations and execute such supplements or documents to join the Security Documents. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in connection with the addition of any Guarantor under this Indenture on the Issue Date upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture in the Form of Exhibit C to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 10.07 is conditional upon the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar having completed any required KYC procedures in accordance with prevailing regulations.

Section 10.08.Non-Impairment. The failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Note shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

Section 10.09.Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

ARTICLE 11

PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR

Section 11.01.Payment.

(a)In order to provide for all payments due on the Notes as the same shall become due, the Issuer shall cause to be paid to the Paying Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. London time on the due date (or such other time as the Issuer and the Paying Agent may mutually agree from time to time) for the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any Note, at such bank as the Paying Agent shall previously have notified to the Issuer, immediately available funds sufficient to meet all payment obligations due on such Notes. The Issuer shall confirm to the Paying Agent two business days prior to the due date via SWIFT, fax or email the amount to be paid on the due date.

-86-

(b)The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Paying Agent, from the amounts paid to it pursuant to Section 11.01(a) above, to make or cause to be made all payments on the Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Such payments shall be made to the Holder or Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the provisions contained in this Article Eleven, and the procedures of the Common Depositary. All interest payments in respect of the Notes will be made by the Paying Agent on the relevant interest payment date (as set forth in the Notes) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business (in London) on the record date specified in the Notes next preceding the interest payment date or such other date as is provided in the Notes. So long as the Notes are represented by one or more global certificates and registered in the name of a nominee of the Common Depositary, all interest payments on the Notes shall be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Holder.

(c)The Paying Agent, to the extent sufficient funds are available to it, will pay the principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, together with accrued and unpaid interest due at the stated maturity date or on such redemption date, if any, upon presentation and surrender of such Note on or after the stated maturity date or redemption date thereof to the Paying Agent, or as specified in the Notes.

(d)If for any reason the amounts received by the Paying Agent are insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then due on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall forthwith notify the Issuer, and the Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay any such claims until the Paying Agent has received the full amount of the monies then due and payable in respect of such Notes. If, however, the Paying Agent in its sole discretion shall make payment on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, or payments of interest or such other payments when otherwise due on the assumption that the corresponding payment by the Issuer has been or shall be made (it being understood that the Paying Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any such payment) and the amount which should have been received by the Paying Agent is not received on such date, then the Issuer agrees forthwith on demand to reimburse, or cause the reimbursement of, the Paying Agent for the amount which should have been paid by the Issuer in order for the Paying Agent to make such payment, and pay interest thereon from the day following the date when the amount unpaid should have been received under this Indenture to the date when such amount is actually received (inclusive) at a rate equal to the cost of the Paying Agent of funding such amount, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

(e)The Paying Agent hereby agrees that:

(i)it will hold all sums held by it as Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Notes for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes entitled thereto, or for the benefit of the Trustee, as the case may be, until such sums shall be paid out to such Holders or otherwise as provided in Section 11.02(f) below and in this Indenture;

(ii)it will promptly give the Trustee notice of an Issuer default in the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Notes; and

(iii)at any time after an Event of Default in respect of the Notes shall have occurred, the Paying Agent shall, if so required by notice in writing given by the Trustee to the Paying Agent: (y) thereafter, until otherwise instructed by the Trustee, act as an agent of the Trustee under the terms of this Indenture; and/or (z) deliver all Notes and all sums, documents and records held by the Paying Agent in respect of the Notes to the Trustee or as the Trustee shall direct in such notice; provided that such notice shall be deemed not to apply to any document or record which the Paying Agent is obliged not to release by any applicable law or regulation.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i)if any Note is presented or surrendered for payment to the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent has delivered a replacement therefor or has been notified that the same has been replaced, the Paying Agent shall as soon as is reasonably practicable notify the Issuer in writing of such presentation or surrender and shall not make payment against the same until it is so instructed by the Issuer and has received the amount to be so paid; and

-87-

(ii)the Paying Agent shall cancel each Note against surrender of which it has made full payment and shall deliver each Note so cancelled by it to the Trustee.

(g)In no event, shall the Paying Agent be obliged to make any payments hereunder if it has not received the full amount of any payment.

Section 11.02.Indemnity.

(a)The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall:

(i)reimburse the Paying Agent and the Registrar upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Paying Agent and the Registrar in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of their agents and counsel), except to the extent that any such expense, disbursement or advance may be attributable to the Paying Agent’s or the Registrar’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(ii)indemnify the Paying Agent and the Registrar for, and to hold the Paying Agent and the Registrar harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including reasonable fees of counsel and including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Paying Agent or the Registrar), incurred by them in connection with this Indenture or in respect of the Issuer’s issue of the Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any Guarantor) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Article Eleven, except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to the Paying Agent’s or the Registrar’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b)The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, the termination for any reason of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent or the Registrar.

Section 11.03.General.

(a)In acting under this Article Eleven, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not (a) be under any fiduciary duty towards any person, (b) be responsible for or liable in respect of the authorization, validity or legality of any Note amount paid by it hereunder (except to the extent that any such liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Paying Agent's or the Registrar’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence), (c) be under any obligation towards any person other than the Trustee and the Issuer or (d) assume any relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder.

(d)The Paying Agent shall not exercise any lien, right of set-off or similar claim against any Holder of a Note in respect of moneys payable by it under this Article Eleven; however, should the Paying Agent elect to make a payment pursuant to Section 11.01(d), it shall be entitled to appropriate for its own account out of the funds received by it under Section 11.02 an amount equal to the amount so paid by it.

(e)The Paying Agent and the Registrar may (at the reasonable and documented expense of the Issuer) consult, on any matter concerning their duties hereunder, any legal adviser or other expert selected by them with due

-88-

care and, with respect to the selection of other experts, in consultation with the Issuer, and the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not be liable in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done in good faith in accordance with that adviser’s opinion. At any time, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may apply to any duly authorized representative of the Issuer for a written instruction, and shall not be liable for an action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with such instruction.

(f)The Paying Agent and the Registrar may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(g)The Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Paying Agent and the Registrar, in their discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as they may see fit, and, if the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, they shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(h)The Paying Agent and the Registrar shall be obliged to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth herein and in the Notes, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Article Eleven or the Notes against the Paying Agent or the Registrar.

(i)The Paying Agent shall not be liable to account to the Issuer for any interest or other amounts in respect of funds received by it from the Issuer. Money held by the Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law.

(j)No section of this Article Eleven or the Notes shall require the Paying Agent or the Registrar to risk or expend their own funds, or to take any action which in their reasonable judgment would result in any expense or liability accruing to them.

At any time, following at least forty-five (45) days' prior written notice (or such lesser period of time as shall be mutually agreeable to the Paying Agent or the Registrar (as applicable) and the Issuer) from the Issuer, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may be removed from their agency. Such removal shall become effective upon the expiration of the forty-five (45) day or agreed lesser time period (provided that any such removal shall be immediate in case the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent), and upon payment to the Paying Agent and the Registrar of all amounts payable to them in connection with their agency. In such event, following payment in full of their outstanding fees and expenses, the outgoing Paying Agent shall deliver to the Issuer, or to the Issuer’s designated representative, all Notes (if any) and cash (if any) belonging to the Issuer and, at the Issuer’s reasonable expense, shall furnish to the Issuer, or to the Issuer’s designated representative, such information regarding the status of the Issuer’s outstanding Notes reasonably requested by the Issuer.

ARTICLE 12

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

Section 12.01.Security Interest; Additional Collateral.

(a)The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest, if any, on, the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium (if any) and interest, if any, on the Notes and performance of all other Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the Guarantees), the Notes, any intercreditor agreement and the Security Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided herein and in the Security Documents. The Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Notes Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee and pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and any intercreditor agreement.

-90-

Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Notes Collateral and the entry into intercreditor agreements) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into and perform its obligations under the Security Documents and any intercreditor agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance with the provisions thereof. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors consents and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Security Documents, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and agrees to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance therewith.

(b)The Issuer will deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Security Documents, will make all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to UCC financing statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such UCC financing statements) and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the perfected security interest in the Notes Collateral contemplated by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes. The Issuer will take, and will cause the Guarantors and the Parent’s Subsidiaries to take, any and all actions required by applicable law and reasonably required by the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations under the Notes and any other Obligations under this Indenture, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien in and on all the Notes Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and holders of Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt, to the extent required by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Security Documents.

(c)None of the Issuer or any Guarantors shall take or omit to take any action that would materially adversely affect or impair the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders with respect to the Notes Collateral, except as permitted under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents. None of the Issuer or any Guarantors shall enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Notes Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than as permitted by this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents.

(d)Promptly upon the acquisition by the Issuer or any Guarantor of assets that constitute Notes Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents (“After-Acquired Property”), (i) the Issuer or such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments or supplements to the Security Documents, or security agreements, pledge agreements or other documents, in each case as necessary to perfect the Lien with respect to such After-Acquired Property as required by the Security Documents; and (ii) the Issuer shall also deliver to the Collateral Agent the evidence of payment of all filing fees, recording and registration charges, transfer taxes and other costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent (and any local counsel), that may be incurred to validly and effectively subject the After-Acquired Property to the Lien of any applicable Security Document and perfect such Lien.

(e)The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions hereof and thereof.

Section 12.02.Duties of Collateral Agent and Trustee.

(a)DBTCA is hereby designated and appointed as the Collateral Agent of the Holders under the Security Documents, and is authorized as the Collateral Agent for such Holders to execute and enter into each of the Security Documents (or joinders thereto, whether in DBTCA’s capacity as Collateral Agent or Trustee) and all other instruments relating to the Security Documents and (i) to take action and exercise such powers and remedies as are expressly required or permitted hereunder and under the Security Documents and all instruments relating hereto and thereto and (ii) to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are, in each case, expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto. The Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, immunities, indemnities, privileges, benefits and protections provided in the Security Documents and, additionally, shall have all the rights, immunities, indemnities,

-91-

privileges, benefits and protections provided to the “Trustee” under Article Seven to the same extent as if such rights, immunities, indemnities, privileges, benefits and protections referred to the Collateral Agent.

(b)Except as provided in the Security Documents or any intercreditor agreement, the Collateral Agent will not be obligated to take any action which is discretionary in nature. In addition, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into any statement, warranty or representation made or in connection with any Security Document or any secured instrument, the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered pursuant to this Indenture or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, the occurrence of any default, the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Security Documents, any intercreditor agreement, or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, the value or the sufficiency of any Notes Collateral for any Obligations under the Notes or any other Obligations under this Indenture, or the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Security Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent or the Trustee. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Lien or security interest in the Notes Collateral.

(c)The Issuer and the Holders each acknowledge that the Trustee may, but is not required to, act as Collateral Agent under any of the Security Documents.

Section 12.03.Release of Liens on Notes Collateral. The Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Notes Collateral on behalf of the Holders of the Notes will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under this Indenture or any other Obligations under this Indenture or the Security Documents, and the right of Holders of the Notes and such Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Notes Collateral will terminate and be discharged:

(i)upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth under Article Eight hereof;

(ii)upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes as set forth under Article Eight hereof;

(iii)upon payment in full and discharge of all Notes outstanding under this Indenture and of all Obligations that are outstanding, due and payable under this Indenture at the time the Notes are paid in full and discharged;

(iv)in part with respect to any Notes Collateral upon any sale or other disposition of such Notes Collateral in a transaction permitted by this Indenture to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Guarantor; or

(v)in whole or in part, with the consent of the Holders of the requisite percentage of Notes in accordance with Section 9.02 hereof.

Section 12.04.Intercreditor Agreements. The relative rights in the Notes Collateral among the Holders of the Notes and holders of Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt and the holders of any future obligations that are secured by Liens that rank junior in priority to the Liens securing the Notes will be governed by a future intercreditor agreement and in the event of a conflict between this Indenture and any intercreditor agreement, such intercreditor agreement will govern. By its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder shall be deemed to consent to the terms of and authorize and direct the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter into and perform its obligations under any intercreditor agreement contemplated by this Indenture.

Section 12.05.Creation and Perfection of Certain Security Interests After the Issue Date. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to create and perfect on the Issue Date the security interests in the Notes Collateral in favor of the Collateral

-92-

Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations under the Notes and any other Obligations under this Indenture by delivering such joinder agreements and such other documentation as required by the applicable Security Documents such that the Notes are secured to the same extent as the Obligations under the Existing Notes were immediately prior to the Issue Date. Failure to create and perfect a security interest in such Collateral constitutes an Event of Default to the extent provided under clause (a)(x) under Section 6.01. For avoidance of doubt, references in this paragraph to Collateral do not include Excluded Assets. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders of the Notes has any duty or responsibility to see to or monitor the performance of the Issuer and the Guarantors with regard to these matters.

Section 12.06.Further Assurances. The Issuer and the Guarantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required under applicable law or that the Collateral Agent from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Agent holds, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes, duly created, enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Notes Collateral (including any assets that are acquired or otherwise become, or are required by any Security Document to become, Notes Collateral after the Notes are issued), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Security Documents, and subject to the limitations set forth in the Security Documents.

The Issuer and the Guarantors will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such security documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as reasonably required under applicable law or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in each case, to create, perfect or protect the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Security Documents for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in the Security Documents.

Section 12.07.Replacement of Collateral Agent.

The Collateral Agent may resign by so notifying the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Collateral Agent by notifying the Issuer and the removed Collateral Agent in writing upon 30 days’ notice and may appoint a successor Collateral Agent with, unless there is a Default or an Event of Default, the Issuer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer may remove the Collateral Agent at its election if:

(1)the Collateral Agent is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or an order of relief is entered with respect to the Collateral Agent under any Bankruptcy Law;

(2)a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Collateral Agent or its property; or

(3)the Collateral Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If a Collateral Agent is removed with or without cause, all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the Collateral Agent incurred in performing the duties hereunder shall be paid to the Collateral Agent to the extent provided in this Indenture.

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

A successor Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Collateral Agent and to the Issuer. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Collateral Agent shall transfer all property held by it as Collateral Agent to the successor Collateral Agent, the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and

-93-

duties of the Collateral Agent under this Indenture and the Security Documents. A successor Collateral Agent shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

Section 12.08.

Successor Collateral Agent by Consolidation, Merger, etc.

If the Collateral Agent consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to another entity, the successor entity without any further act shall be the successor Collateral Agent.

Section 12.09.Reinstatement; Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.

(a)To the extent any Secured Party (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) is required in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay any amount, including with respect to the Obligations under the Notes, any other Obligations under this Indenture or proceeds of any Notes Collateral, to the estate of an Issuer or any Guarantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor) because the payment of such amount was subsequently invalidated, set aside, declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any such amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then as among the parties hereto, the Obligations owing to such party shall be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and to be outstanding as if such payment had not been received. Such Secured Party and the Trustee shall be entitled to a reinstatement of the Obligations, the Liens and security interests with respect to all such recovered amounts and shall have all rights, powers and remedies as a Secured Party under this Indenture and the Security Documents which shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, this Indenture shall be automatically reinstated and each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee to effect such reinstatement.

(b)In case the Notes Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article Twelve upon an Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of an Issuer or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article Twelve; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Notes Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

Section 12.10.Suits to Protect the Notes Collateral.

Subject to the provisions of Article Seven hereof and the Collateral Documents and the intercreditor agreement (if any), following an Event of Default, the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, may or may direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions it determines in order to:

(a)enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and

(b)collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the intercreditor agreement (if any), the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to prevent any impairment of the Notes Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Notes Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.10 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have

-96-

been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not any Issuer or any Guarantor or any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.

1.Interest

Kronos International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer shall pay interest semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2024. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, February 12, 2024 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2.Method of Payment

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the March 1 and September 1 preceding the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender the Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in euro or such other money of the European Union that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by a Holder to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. The Issuer shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made through the Paying Agent by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof.

3.Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as Paying Agent and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4.Indenture

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2024 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms and provisions.

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer. This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Original Notes and any Additional Notes. The Original Notes and any Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of Parent and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuer and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property.

A-6

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors party to the Indenture from time to time will, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

5.Redemption

Optional Redemption

(a)Except as set forth in the following paragraphs, the Issuer shall not be entitled to redeem the Notes at its option prior to March 15, 2026. At any time prior to March15, 2026, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, at its option, at any time or part from time to time, upon notice as described under Article Three of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date.

On and after March 15, 2026, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice as described under Article Three of the Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of each of the years indicated below:

Year	Redemption Price
2026‌	104.750%
2027‌	102.375%
2028 and thereafter‌	100.000%

(b)In addition, until March 15, 2026, the Issuer may, at its option, on one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of any Additional Notes) at a redemption price equal to 109.50% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture and any Notes that are issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of receipt of cash proceeds from the closing of each such Equity Offering upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice sent to each Holder of Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

(c)Notice of any redemption of Notes described above may be given prior to such redemption, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the relevant Equity Offering, other offering or other transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

A-7

(d)The Registrar shall select the Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under Section 3.04.

Redemption for Tax Reasons

(a)The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and that will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuer determines in good faith that, as a result of a Change in Tax Law (as defined below), a Payor is, or on the next interest payment date would be, required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Notes, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Payor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time and from time to time following a Change in Tax Law, subject to compliance with the notice periods and other requirements specified herein.

A “Change in Tax Law” is a change in, or amendment to, the law, or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined below), or an official written application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice or revenue guidance, in each case that is announced and becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date)

(b)No such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts. Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of any Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to its right so to redeem have been satisfied and (b) an Opinion of Counsel of an independent tax counsel of Issuer’s choosing of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(c)Upon receiving such notice of redemption, each Holder will have the right to elect not to have its Notes redeemed. In that case, the Payors will not be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts on any payment with respect to such Notes after the Tax Redemption Date (or, if Issuer fails to pay the redemption price on the Tax Redemption Date, after such later date on which Issuer pays the redemption price) solely as a result of such Change in Tax Law that resulted in the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts, and all future payments with respect to such Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result of such Change in Tax Law.

(d)If no such election is made, the Holder will have its Notes redeemed without any further action.

6.Sinking Fund

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund payments.

7.Notice of Redemption

At least 10 days but not more than 60 days prior to a redemption date pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Note, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) (with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent) a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address (except that such notice of redemption may be mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in

A-8

connection with Section 8.01). Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

8.Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

9.Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed.

10.Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

11.Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

12.Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions and as set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some of or all of their obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposit with the Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for this purpose) money or European Government Obligations denominated in euro for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

13.Amendment; Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, any intercreditor agreement or the Security Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture,

A-9

without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, any Guarantee, the Notes, any intercreditor agreement or the Security Documents (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency as certified by the Parent; (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes of such series in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code); (iii) to comply with the covenant relating to mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; (iv) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in a transaction that complies with the Indenture; (v) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; (vi) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor; (vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or Authenticating Agent thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof; (viii) to add a Guarantor under the Indenture or to release a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to provide for any local law restrictions required by the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor; (ix) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Notes or the Security Documents to any provision of the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of the New Notes” to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the New Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Notes or the Security Documents as certified by the Issuer; (x) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes permitted to be issued under the Indenture; (xi) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance of the Notes and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (a) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; (xii) to add additional assets as Notes Collateral; (xiii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Notes Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture or any of the Security Documents or any release, termination or discharge of Notes Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in the Indenture or any of the Security Documents, (xiv) to add any Permitted Additional Notes Priority Debt to the Security Documents to the extent permitted by the Indenture or (xv) to amend any intercreditor agreement in any way which does not violate the Indenture and which does not materially and adversely affect the Holders.

14.Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Parent), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to Parent and the Paying Agent (and if given by the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee) may declare the principal of, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Parent or any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Parent), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee and Collateral Agent indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee, in writing, to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have

A-10

not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses that may be caused by taking or not taking such action.

Parent is required to deliver to the Trustee, annually, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year.

15.Trustee Dealings with the Issuer

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

16.No Recourse Against Others

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of Parent or its Subsidiaries shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

17.Authentication

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

(1)We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least €100,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase notes similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment.

(2)We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) in the United States to a person whom we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (b) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if applicable) or (d) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (a) through (d) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, we will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any purchaser of Notes of the resale restrictions set forth above. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made to an institutional “accredited investor” prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuer and the Registrar, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer and the Registrar reserve

the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar.

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the Indenture, providing initially for the issuance of €276,174,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS Sections 4.11 and 10.07 of the Indenture provide that under certain circumstances the Issuer is required to cause the Guarantors to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guarantors shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to a Guarantee on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee and the Issuer are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors, the Issuer and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows:

1.Defined Terms. As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital hereto are used herein as therein defined, except that the term “Holders” in this Guarantee shall refer to the term “Holders” as defined in the Indenture and the Trustee acting on behalf of and for the benefit of such Holders. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof.

2.Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally with all existing Guarantors (if any), irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, including, but not limited to, Article Ten of the Indenture, and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Notes and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

3.Releases. A Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations as provided in Section 10.03 of the Indenture.

Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

EACH OF THE NEW GUARANTOR AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

11.The Trustee. The Trustee makes no representation as to, and shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals or statements contained herein, all of which recitals and statements are made solely by the Guarantors.
