The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, the rules of any securities exchange agreements to which the Issuers are subject, if any, or usage; provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in form reasonably acceptable to the Issuers. The Issuers shall approve the form of the Notes. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Notes shall constitute and are hereby expressly made a part of this Indenture.

-33-

accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee (or its agent in accordance with Section 2.02) as hereinafter provided.

The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made by the Registrar on Schedule A to the Regulation S Global Note and recorded in the Security Register, as hereinafter provided.

(c)Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(c) shall apply to the Regulation S Global Notes and the Restricted Global Notes (together, the “Global Notes”) deposited with or on behalf of the Common Depositary.

Members of, or participants and account holders in Euroclear and Clearstream (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Common Depositary or by the Trustee or any custodian of the Common Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Common Depositary or its nominee may be treated by the Issuers, a Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers, a Guarantor or the Trustee as the sole owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, a Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers, a Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Common Depositary or impair, as between the Common Depositary, on the one hand, and the Participants, on the other, the operation of customary practices of such persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b), the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

Except as provided in Section 2.10, owners of a beneficial interest in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes.

SECTION 2.02.Execution and Authentication. An authorized member of the Issuers’ boards of directors or an executive officer of the Issuers shall sign the Notes on behalf of the Issuers by manual or facsimile signature.

If an authorized member of the Issuers’ boards of directors or an executive officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

A Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

-34-

The Issuers shall execute and, upon receipt of an Issuers Order, the Trustee shall authenticate (whether itself or via the authenticating agent) Original Notes, on the date hereof, for original issue up to an aggregate principal amount of €790,000,000 and Additional Notes, from time to time, subject to compliance at the time of issuance of such Additional Notes with the provisions of Section 4.06. The Issuers are permitted to issue Additional Notes as part of a further issue under this Indenture, from time to time; provided that, if the Additional Notes are not fungible with any series of Original Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate ISIN numbers, if applicable.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by any such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, co-Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent to deal with the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Section 2.02 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

SECTION 2.03.Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent. The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency for the registration of the Notes and of their transfer or exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be transferred or exchanged (the “Transfer Agent”), an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent” and references to the Paying Agent shall include the Principal Paying Agent) and an office or agency where notices or demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes may be served. The Issuers may appoint one or more Transfer Agents, one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents.

The Issuers shall maintain a Transfer Agent and Principal Paying Agent in London, United Kingdom. Either Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates may act as Transfer Agent, Registrar, co-Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes; provided that neither Issuer nor any of their respective Affiliates shall act as Paying Agent for the purposes of Articles Three and Eight and Sections 4.09 and 4.11.

The Issuers hereby appoint Citibank, N.A., London Branch located at 25 Canada Square, London E14 5LB, United Kingdom as Transfer Agent, as Principal Paying Agent (the “Principal Paying Agent”) in London, United Kingdom, and as agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes and Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG, at 5th Floor Reuterweg 16, 60323 Frankfurt, Germany, as Registrar. Each hereby accepts such appointments. The Transfer Agent, the Principal Paying Agent and the Registrar and any authenticating agent are collectively referred to in this Indenture as the “Agents”. The roles, duties and functions of the Agents are of a mechanical nature and each Agent shall only perform those acts and duties as specifically set out in this Indenture and no other acts, covenants, obligations or duties shall be implied or read into this Indenture against any of the Agents. For the avoidance of doubt, a Paying Agent’s obligation to disburse any funds shall be subject to prior receipt by it of those funds to be disbursed.

Subject to any applicable laws and regulations, the Issuers shall cause the Registrar to keep a register (the “Security Register”) at its corporate trust office in which, subject to such reasonable regulations it may prescribe, the Issuers shall provide for the registration of ownership, exchange, and transfer of the Notes. Such registration in the Security Register shall be conclusive evidence of the ownership of Notes. Included in the books and records for the Notes shall be notations as to whether such Notes have been paid,

-35-

exchanged or transferred, canceled, lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed and whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so replaced and the Note issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so canceled and the date on which such Note was canceled.

The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Paying Agent or co-Registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee may appoint a suitably qualified and reputable party to act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.05.

SECTION 2.04.Paying Agent to Hold Money . Not later than 12:00 p.m. London, United Kingdom time, one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, the Issuers shall deposit with the Principal Paying Agent money in immediately available funds in euro sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due on the due date for payment under the Notes. The Principal Paying Agent (and, if applicable, each other Paying Agent) shall remit such payment in a timely manner to the Holders on the relevant due date for payment, it being acknowledged by each Holder that if the Issuers deposit such money with the Principal Paying Agent after the time specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the Principal Paying Agent shall remit such money to the Holders on the relevant due date for payment, unless such remittance is impracticable having regard to applicable banking procedures and timing constraints, in which case the Principal Paying Agent shall remit such money to the Holders on the next Business Day, but without liability for any interest resulting from such late payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Principal Paying Agent shall only be obliged to remit money to Holders if it has actually received such money from the Issuers. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee (including where acting as the Principal Paying Agent) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers acts as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

The Trustee may, if the Issuers have notified it in writing that the Issuers intend to effect a defeasance or to satisfy and discharge this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight, notify the Paying Agent in writing of this fact and require the Paying Agent (until notified by the Trustee to the contrary), to act thereafter as Paying Agent of the Trustee and not the Issuers in relation to any amounts deposited with it in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight.

SECTION 2.05.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, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing no later than the Record Date for each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and

-36-

as of such Record Date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, including the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each Holder.

SECTION 2.06.Transfer and Exchange.

(a)Where Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.06. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee (or the authenticating agent) shall, upon receipt of an Issuers Order, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, at the Registrar’s request, provided that no Note of less than €100,000 may be transferred or exchanged. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any agency fee or similar charge payable in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (other than any agency fee or similar charge payable in connection with any redemption of the Notes or upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.08 or 9.05) or in accordance with an Excess Proceeds Offer pursuant to Section 4.09 or Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 4.11, not involving a transfer.

Upon presentation for exchange or transfer of any Note as permitted by the terms of this Indenture and by any legend appearing on such Note, such Note shall be exchanged or transferred upon the Security Register and one or more new Notes shall be authenticated and issued in the name of the Holder (in the case of exchanges only) or the transferee, as the case may be. No exchange or transfer of a Note shall be effective under this Indenture unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person in the Security Register. Furthermore, the exchange or transfer of any Note shall not be effective under this Indenture unless the request for such exchange or transfer is made by the Holder or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact at the office of the Registrar.

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

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Neither the Issuers nor the Trustee, Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Common Depositary, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, or of any beneficial interest therein, shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.01(c), Section 2.06(a) and this Section 2.06(b); provided, that a beneficial interest in a Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the restricted Note legend on the Note, if any.

-37-

(i)Except for transfers or exchanges made in accordance with any of clauses (ii) through (v) of this Section 2.06(b), transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Common Depositary or to a successor of the Common Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(ii)[Reserved.]

(iii)[Reserved.]

(iv)Restricted Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If the holder of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note at any time wishes to exchange its interest in such Restricted Global Note for an interest in the Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, such transfer or exchange may be effected, only in accordance with this clause (iv) and the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Registrar from the Transfer Agent of (A) written instructions directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited an interest in the Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in the Restricted Global Note in such specified principal amount, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes and (x) pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S or (y) that the interest in the Restricted Global Note being transferred is being transferred in a transaction permitted by Rule 144, then the Registrar shall reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note and shall cause the Common Depositary to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Restricted Global Note to be exchanged or transferred.

(v)Regulation S Global Note to Restricted Global Note. If the holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note at any time wishes to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this clause (v) and the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Registrar from the Transfer Agent of (A) written instructions directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited an interest in the Restricted Global Note in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in the Regulation S Global Note in such specified principal amount, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes and stating that (x) the Person transferring such interest reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest is a QIB and is obtaining such interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or (y) that the Person transferring such interest is relying on an exemption other than Rule 144A from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in such circumstances, such Opinion of Counsel as the Issuers or the Trustee may reasonably request to ensure that the requested transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Registrar shall reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note and to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred.

(c)If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the restricted Notes legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto the Notes so issued shall bear the restricted Notes

-38-

legends, and a request to remove such restricted Notes legends from Notes shall not be honored unless there is delivered to the Issuers such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel licensed to practice law in the State of New York, as may be reasonably required by the Issuers, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the direction of the Issuers, shall (or shall direct the authenticating agent to) authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear the legend.

(d)The Trustee and the Agents shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by Euroclear or Clearstream.

SECTION 2.07.Replacement Notes. If a mutilated certificated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall (or shall direct the authenticating agent to), upon receipt of an Issuers Order, authenticate a replacement Note in such form as the Note mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken if the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuers and any requirement of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuers and the Trustee to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar and any co-Registrar, and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Note shall be an additional obligation of the Issuers.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Notes.

SECTION 2.08.Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the Note that has been replaced is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing and the Paying Agent is not 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 2.09.Notes Held by Issuers. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by either Issuer or by any of their respective Affiliates shall be

-39-

disregarded and treated as if they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not either Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 2.10.Certificated Notes.

(a)A Global Note deposited with the Common Depositary pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be transferred in whole to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Notes only if such transfer complies with Section 2.06 and (i) Euroclear or Clearstream notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 120 days of such notice, or (ii) the owner of a Book-Entry Interest requests such an exchange in writing delivered through Euroclear or Clearstream following an Event of Default under this Indenture. Notice of any such transfer shall be given by the Issuers in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02(a).

(b)Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary, to the Transfer Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall itself or via the authenticating agent authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount at maturity of Notes of authorized denominations in the form of certificated Notes. Any portion of a Global Note transferred or exchanged pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in registered form in minimum denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Common Depositary shall direct.

Such certificated Notes shall bear the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

-40-

(a)The Issuers may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuers may deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest; or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause. In addition, the Issuers shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, such date to be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the proposed payment date and not less than 15 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment date. The Issuers shall promptly but, in any event, not less than 15 days prior to the special record date, notify the Trustee of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuers, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed first-class, postage prepaid to each Holder as such Holder’s address appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to Section 2.12(b).

(b)The Issuers may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuers to the Trustee of the proposed payment date pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed reasonably practicable.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 2.13.Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

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

SECTION 2.15.Issuance of Additional Notes. The Issuers may, subject to Section 4.06 of this Indenture, issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in accordance with the procedures of Section 2.02.

(b)in the case of any other Lien, the Issuers’ obligations in respect of the Notes (or a Guarantee in the case of Liens securing Debt of a Guarantor), and all other amounts due under this Indenture are equally and ratably secured with the obligation or liability secured by such Lien.

(E)$80,000,000.

(c)Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.08, the Parent Guarantor and any Restricted Subsidiary may take the following actions (“Permitted Payments”) so long as (with respect to sub-clauses (viii), (xi), (xii) and (xvii) of this clause (c)) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(x)the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement, and any loans, advances, dividends or distributions by the Parent Guarantor to any direct or indirect parent company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire, for value of any Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary or any direct or indirect parent company held by any current or former officer, director, employee or consultant of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Capital Stock may not exceed $10,000,000 plus an amount equal to $10,000,000 multiplied by the number of years that have elapsed since the August 2019 Issue Date; and provided, further, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed (A) the cash proceeds from the sale of Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary during such calendar year, in each case to members of management, directors or consultants of the Parent Guarantor, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of its direct or indirect parent companies and (B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary received by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary after the August 2019 Issue Date less any amount previously applied to the making of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (x), in each case, to the extent the cash proceeds have not otherwise been applied to the making of Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(iii)(B) or Section 4.08(c)(iii);

-53-

(xii)any other Restricted Payment; provided that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Parent Guarantor on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any such Restricted Payment made pursuant to this clause (xii) but not including any Restricted Payment made in reliance on Section 4.08(b) or another clause of Section 4.08(c) (other than this sub-clause (xii)) does not exceed 5.25 to 1.0.

The actions described in sub-clauses (i), (vi), (xi) and (xvii) of Section 4.08(c) are Restricted Payments that will be permitted to be made in accordance with this Section 4.08(c) but that reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.08(b)(iii).

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in sub-clauses (i) through (xviii) of Section 4.08(c), or is permitted pursuant to Section 4.08(b), the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be entitled to classify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) on the date of its payment or later reclassify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

SECTION 4.09.Limitation on Sale of Certain Assets.

(a)The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

-54-

(i)the consideration the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary receives for such Asset Sale is not less than the Fair Market Value of the assets sold (as determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors);

(ii)at least 75% of the consideration the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary receives in respect of such Asset Sale consists of (A) cash (including any Net Cash Proceeds received from the conversion within 90 days of such Asset Sale of securities, notes or other obligations received in consideration of such Asset Sale); (B) Cash Equivalents; (C) the assumption by the purchaser of (x) the Parent Guarantor’s Debt or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Debt) as a result of which neither the Parent Guarantor nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries remains obligated in respect of such Debt or (y) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, if the Parent Guarantor and each other Restricted Subsidiary is released from any guarantee of such Debt as a result of such Asset Sale; (D) Replacement Assets; (E) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (ii), not to exceed the greater of $225,000,000 and 3.00% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; or (F) a combination of the consideration specified in sub-clauses (A) to (E) of this Section 4.09(a)(ii); and

(iii)the Parent Guarantor delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Asset Sale complies with the provisions described in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.09(a).

(b)If the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary consummates an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, within 360 days after the consummation of such Asset Sale, may be used by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary to (A) permanently repay, purchase or prepay any then outstanding (i) Debt of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (and to effect a corresponding commitment reduction if such Debt is revolving credit borrowings) owing to a Person other than the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent secured by a Lien (ii) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor owing to a Person other than the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) any other Pari Passu Debt other than the Existing Unsecured Notes, the August 2019 Senior Notes or any other unsecured Debt that is guaranteed on a subordinated basis (B) invest in any Replacement Assets, (C) acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Similar Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Similar Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, or (D) any combination of the foregoing; provided that in the case of sub-clause (B) of this Section 4.09(b), if the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, has entered into a binding commitment in definitive form within such 360-day period to so apply such Net Cash Proceeds with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”), such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, further, that if any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Cash Proceeds are applied and after such initial 360-day period, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth in this Section 4.09(b) constitutes “Excess Proceeds”. The Parent Guarantor may reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture.

(c)The Parent Guarantor or the Issuers may also at any time, and the Parent Guarantor or the Issuers shall within 20 Business Days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater

-55-

of $100,000,000 and 1.5% of Total Assets, make an offer to purchase (an “Excess Proceeds Offer”) from all Holders and from the holders of any Pari Passu Debt (which, in the case of Excess Proceeds which constitute proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Collateral, were secured by a Lien on such Collateral), to the extent required by the terms thereof, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing any such Pari Passu Debt, the maximum principal amount (expressed as an integral multiple of €1,000) of the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased with the amount of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price as to each Note and any such Pari Passu Debt will be payable in cash in an amount equal to (solely in the case of the Notes) 100% of the principal amount of such Note and (solely in the case of Pari Passu Debt) no greater than 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of such Pari Passu Debt, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

(d)To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Parent Guarantor may use the amount of such Excess Proceeds not used to purchase the Notes and Pari Passu Debt for general corporate purposes that are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis (based upon the principal amount of the Notes and the principal amount or accreted value of such Pari Passu Debt tendered by each Holder). Upon completion of each such Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

(e)If the Parent Guarantor or the Issuers are obligated to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Parent Guarantor or the Issuers shall purchase the Notes and Pari Passu Debt, at the option of the holders thereof, in whole or in part (as an integral multiple of €1,000), on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date the notice of the Excess Proceeds Offer is given to such holders, or such later date as may be required under the Exchange Act provided that Notes of €100,000 will be purchased in full.

If the Parent Guarantor or the Issuers are required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Parent Guarantor and the Issuers shall comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and regulations, including any securities laws of Ireland and the requirements of any applicable securities exchange on which Notes or the Existing Ardagh Bonds, the August 2019 Notes, the April 2020 Secured Notes or the June 2020 Senior Notes are then listed. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09, the Issuers shall comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Section 4.09 by virtue thereof.

SECTION 4.10.Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a)The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets or property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Affiliate involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of $75,000,000 and 2.0% of Total Assets unless:

(i)such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with third parties that are not Affiliates; and

-56-

(ii)with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or the transfer of assets or provision of services, in each case having a value greater than the greater of $150,000,000 and 2.0% of Total Assets, the Parent Guarantor shall deliver a resolution of its Board of Directors (set out in an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee) resolving that such transaction complies with Section 4.10(a)(i) and that the fairness of such transaction has been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors (or in the event there is only one Disinterested Director, by such Disinterested Director) of the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 4.10(a) will not apply to:

(i)customary directors’ fees, indemnification and similar arrangements (including the payment of directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums), consulting fees, employee salaries, bonuses, employment agreements and arrangements, compensation or employee benefit arrangements, including stock options or legal fees;

(ii)any Restricted Payment not prohibited by Section 4.08 or the making of an Investment that is a Permitted Investment;

(iii)the agreements and arrangements existing on the August 2019 Issue Date and any amendment, modification or supplement thereto; provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement to the terms thereof is not more disadvantageous to the Holders and to the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, in any material respect than the original agreement or arrangement as in effect on the August 2019 Issue Date;

(iv)any payments or other transactions pursuant to a tax sharing agreement between the Parent Guarantor and any other Person or a Restricted Subsidiary and any other Person with which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return or with which the Issuers are part of a consolidated group for tax purposes or any tax advantageous group contribution made pursuant to applicable legislation, provided, however, that any such payments do not exceed the amounts of such tax that would have been payable by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis and the related tax liabilities of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries are relieved thereby;

(v)transactions in the ordinary course of business with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor solely because the Parent Guarantor owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, Capital Stock in, or controls, such Person;

(xiii)any transaction effected as part of a Permitted Receivables Financing;

(xiv)pledges of equity interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(xv)any employment agreement, consultancy agreement or employee benefit arrangement with any employee, consultant, officer or director of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, including under any stock option, stock appreciation rights, stock incentive or similar plans, entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

(xvi)(x) the Trivium Transactions and the payment of all costs and expenses (including all legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses) related to the Trivium Transactions or any payment as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement; (y) any transactions or services pursuant to the Mutual Services Agreement and any services or transactions that are similar or incidental to the services or transactions contemplated therein provided on an arm’s length basis; and (z) any transactions or services pursuant to the IP Cross-License Agreement and any services or transactions that are similar or incidental to the services or transactions contemplated therein provided on an arm’s length basis.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.11, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

SECTION 4.12.Additional Amounts.

(a)All payments that the Issuers make under or with respect to the Notes or that the Guarantors make under or with respect to the Guarantees shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and other similar liabilities related thereto) of whatever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied on such payments by or on behalf of any jurisdiction (other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia) in which any Issuer or Guarantor is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or from or through which any of the foregoing (or its agents, including the Paying Agent) makes any payment on the Notes or by or within any department, political subdivision or governmental authority of or in any of the foregoing having power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such Issuer or Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration of law. If either Issuer, a Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed or levied on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee, such Issuer or Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by each beneficial owner of the Notes after such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction in respect of any Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted.

(b)None of the Issuers or Guarantors shall, however, pay Additional Amounts in respect or on account of:

-60-

(i)any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes are imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction by reason of the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s present or former connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt, ownership, holding or disposition of the Notes, or by reason of the receipt of any payments in respect of any Notes or any Guarantee, or the exercise or enforcement of rights under any Notes or any Guarantee);

(ii)any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, following the Issuers’ written request addressed to the Holder or beneficial owner, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements (to the extent such holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so), whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Taxes imposed by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction);

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

(iv)any Tax which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee;

(v)any Tax imposed on or with respect to any payment by any of the Issuers or Guarantors to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that such Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such beneficial owner been the holder of such Note;

(vi)any Tax that is imposed on or with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Notes to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union or the United Kingdom;

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

(viii)any U.S. federal withholding Taxes or equivalent thereof imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as of the August 2019 Issue Date (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations promulgated thereunder or other official administrative interpretations thereof and any agreements entered into pursuant to current Section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as of the August 2019 Issue Date (or any amended or successor version described above), and including (for the avoidance of doubt) any intergovernmental agreements (and any law, regulation, rule or practice implementing any such intergovernmental agreement) in respect of the foregoing; or

(ix)any combination of the foregoing.

(c)The Issuers and the Guarantors, if the applicable withholding agents, shall (i) make such withholding or deduction as is required by applicable law and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

-61-

(d)At least 30 calendar days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee is due and payable, if the Issuers or any Guarantor shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the Paying Agent, an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and setting forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to the Holders on the payment date. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Issuers shall promptly publish a notice in accordance with Section 12.02 stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and describing the obligation to pay such amounts.

In addition, the Issuers or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay any present or future stamp, issuance, registration, court, documentary, excise or property taxes or other similar taxes, charges and duties, including, without limitation, interest, penalties and other similar liabilities with respect thereto, imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of (i) the execution, issue, delivery or registration of the Notes or any Guarantee or any other document or instrument referred to thereunder, or (ii) the receipt of any payments under or with respect to, or enforcement of, the Notes or any Guarantee.

Upon written request, any of the Issuers or a Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee or a Holder within a reasonable time certified copies of tax receipts evidencing any payment by such Issuer or Guarantor (as the case may be) of any Taxes imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, in accordance with the procedures described in Section 12.02, in such form as provided in the normal course by the taxing authority imposing such Taxes. If, notwithstanding the efforts of such Issuer or Guarantor to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, such Issuer or Guarantor will provide the Trustee or such Holder with other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or holder of such payments by such Issuer or Guarantor. If requested by the Trustee, the Issuers and (to the extent necessary) any Guarantors will provide to the Trustee such information as may be reasonably available to such Issuer and the Guarantors (and not otherwise in the possession of the Trustee) to enable determination of the amount of any withholding Taxes attributable to any particular Holder(s).

(e)Whenever this Indenture or the Notes refers to, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note (including payments thereof made pursuant to a Guarantee), such reference includes the payment of Additional Amounts, if applicable.

(f)This Section 4.12 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction (other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia) in which any successor Person to any of the Issuers or Guarantors is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which any such person (or its agents, including the Paying Agent) makes any payment on the Notes (or any Guarantee) and any department, political subdivision or governmental authority of or in any of the foregoing having the power to tax.

SECTION 4.13.Additional Intercreditor Agreements.

(a)At the request and direction of the Parent Guarantor and without the consent of the Holders, in connection with the incurrence by the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Permitted Debt, the Parent Guarantor, the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries, the Trustee and the Security Agent shall enter into with the Holders (or their duly authorized representatives) an intercreditor agreement (an “Additional Intercreditor Agreement”) or a restatement, amendment or other modification of the existing

-62-

Intercreditor Agreement, in each case on substantially the same terms as the Intercreditor Agreement or terms not violating the terms of this Indenture (for such matters covered by this Indenture) or terms not affecting adversely the rights of the Holders of the Notes in material respects (for such matters not covered by this Indenture), including containing substantially the same terms with respect to release of Guarantees and priority and release of the Security Interests; provided that such Additional Intercreditor Agreement will not impose any personal obligations on the Trustee or Security Agent or, in the opinion of the Trustee or Security Agent, as applicable, adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or Security Agent under this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b)At the request and direction of the Parent Guarantor and without the consent of the Holders, the Trustee and the Security Agent shall from time to time enter into one or more amendments to any Intercreditor Agreement to: (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency of any such agreement, (ii) increase the amount or types of Debt covered by any such agreement that may be incurred by an Issuer or a Guarantor that is subject to any such agreement (including with respect to any Intercreditor Agreement or Additional Intercreditor Agreement, the addition of provisions relating to new Debt ranking junior in right of payment to the Notes), (iii) add Restricted Subsidiaries to the Intercreditor Agreement or an Additional Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) further secure the Notes (including Additional Notes), (v) make provision for equal and ratable pledges of the Collateral to secure Additional Notes, (vi) implement any Permitted Collateral Liens, (vii) amend the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof or (viii) make any other change to any such agreement that does not violate the terms of this Indenture. The Parent Guarantor shall not otherwise direct the Trustee or the Security Agent to enter into any amendment to any Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the Holders of the majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, except as otherwise permitted below under Article Nine, and the Parent Guarantor may only direct the Trustee and the Security Agent to enter into any amendment to the extent such amendment does not impose any personal obligations on the Trustee or Security Agent or, in the opinion of the Trustee or Security Agent, adversely affect their respective rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)In relation to any Intercreditor Agreement or Additional Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee (and Security Agent, if applicable) shall consent on behalf of the Holders to the payment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition, retirement or redemption of any obligations subordinated to the Notes thereby; provided, however, that such transaction would comply with Section 4.08.

(d)Each Holder, by accepting a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to and accepted the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement (whether then entered into or entered into in the future pursuant to the provisions described in this Section 4.13) and to have directed the Trustee or Security Agent, as applicable, to enter into any such Additional Intercreditor Agreement. The Issuers shall make a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement available for inspection by Holders during normal business hours on any Business Day upon prior written request at the offices of the Listing Agent.

SECTION 4.14.Additional Subsidiary Guarantees and Security Interests.

(a)(i) On or prior to the 90th day following the Issue Date and subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Parent Guarantor shall ensure that each of the Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor (other than the Issuers) that is a guarantor of the Existing Ardagh Bonds and the August 2019 Notes becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor and, in connection therewith, cause such Subsidiary and entities to deliver such agreements, instruments, certificates and opinions of counsel that may be reasonably requested by the Trustee, provided that upon delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that in the good faith

-63-

determination of the Issuers the outbreak of COVID-19 and measures to prevent its spread have made it impracticable to provide such guarantees within 90 days following the Issue Date (an “Extension Officer’s Certificate”), such guarantees and accompanying agreements, instruments, certificates and opinions may be provided within 120 days following the Issue Date.

(b)On or prior to the 90th day following the Issue Date and subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Parent Guarantor shall ensure that Security Interests for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders in any assets that secure the August 2019 Secured Notes are in place and perfected no later than 90 days following the Issue Date and, in connection therewith, cause to be delivered such agreements, instruments, certificates and opinions of counsel that may be reasonably requested by the Trustee, provided that upon delivery of an Extension Officer’s Certificate, such Security Interests, and accompanying agreements, instruments, certificates and opinions of counsel, may be put in place and perfected within 120 days following the Issue Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the replacement and/or refinancing of the Existing Secured Notes, all mortgages or similar Security Interests in real property in any jurisdiction other than the England and Wales or any state of the United States shall be released, and such real property shall no longer comprise Collateral.

SECTION 4.15.Limitation on Guarantees of Debt by Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)The Parent Guarantor shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Guarantor, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable for the payment of any Pari Passu Debt or Subordinated Debt of either Issuer (other than the Notes), the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:

(i)such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary on the same terms as the guarantee of such Debt; and

(ii)with respect to any guarantee of Subordinated Debt by such Restricted Subsidiary, any such guarantee shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee with respect to the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Debt is subordinated to the Notes.

This clause (a) shall not be applicable to any guarantees of any Restricted Subsidiary:

(A)existing on the August 2019 Issue Date, guaranteeing Debt under Credit Facilities permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(ii) and Section 4.06(b)(xiii) or guaranteeing Debt in an aggregate principal amount that is less than the greater of $100,000,000 and 1.5% of Total Assets;

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

(C)given to a bank or trust company having combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of not less than €500,000,000, whose debt has a rating, at the time such guarantee was given, of at least BBB+ or the equivalent thereof by S&P and at least Baa1 or the equivalent thereof by Moody’s, in connection with the operation of cash management programs established for the Parent Guarantor’s benefit or that of any Restricted Subsidiary.

-64-

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee of the Notes created pursuant to the provisions described in Section 4.15(a) above may provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(i)any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person who is not the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of all of the Capital Stock owned by the Parent Guarantor and its other Restricted Subsidiaries in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary (which sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture); or

(ii)(with respect to any Guarantee created after the August 2019 Issue Date) the release by the Holders of the applicable Issuer’s, the Parent Guarantor’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Debt described in Section 4.15(a) above, of their Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all Obligations under such Debt other than as a result of payment under such Guarantee), at a time when:

(A)no other Debt of either Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor has been guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary; or

(B)the holders of all such other Debt that is guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary also release their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all Obligations under such Debt other than as a result of payment under such Guarantee); or

(iii)the release of the Guarantees on the terms and conditions and in the circumstances described in Section 10.03.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Guarantor shall not be obligated to cause any such Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes to the extent that such Guarantee would reasonably be expected to give rise to or result in (A) any violation of applicable law, rule, regulation or order that cannot be avoided or otherwise prevented through measures reasonably available to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, (B) personal liability for the officers, directors or shareholders of such Restricted Subsidiary or (C) any significant cost, expense, liability or obligation (including with respect to any Taxes but excluding any reasonable guarantee or similar fee payable to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) other than any governmental or regulatory filings required as a result of, or any measures pursuant to sub-clause (A) of this Section 4.15(c) undertaken in connection with, such Guarantee, which cannot be avoided through measures reasonably available to the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that any Restricted Subsidiary who directly or indirectly, guarantees, assumes or in any other manner become liable for the payment of any obligations under the Existing Ardagh Bonds shall also be required to Guarantee payment of the Notes on the same terms as the guarantee of such obligations.

(d)Each such additional Guarantee will 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 and corporate benefit, thin capitalization, distributable reserves, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally) or other considerations under applicable law.

-65-

SECTION 4.16.Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(i)pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock or any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits;

(ii)pay any Debt owed to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary;

(iii)encumbrances or restrictions contained in any agreement in effect on the August 2019 Issue Date (other than an agreement described in another sub-clause of this Section 4.16(b));

(v)encumbrances or restrictions contained in any agreement or other instrument of a Person (including its Subsidiaries), acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in effect at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired (including its Subsidiaries);

-66-

(vi)encumbrances or restrictions contained in contracts for sales of Capital Stock or assets permitted by the provisions of Section 4.09 with respect to the assets or Capital Stock to be sold pursuant to such contract or in customary merger or acquisition agreements (or any option to enter into such contract) for the purchase or acquisition of Capital Stock or assets or any of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries by another Person;

SECTION 4.17.Designation of Unrestricted and Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)The Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary (including newly acquired or newly established Subsidiaries) to be an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” only if no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such designation.

-67-

(b)In the event of any designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Section 4.17, the Parent Guarantor shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 4.08 for all purposes of this Indenture in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net book value of the Parent Guarantor’s interest in such Subsidiary calculated in accordance with IFRS or (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Parent Guarantor’s interest in such Subsidiary.

(c)The Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary if:

(i)no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of or will occur and be continuing after giving effect to such designation; and

(ii)(x) the Parent Guarantor could incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt (pursuant to Section 4.06(a)) or (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would not be less than it was immediately prior to giving effect to such designation, in each case, on a pro forma basis taking into account such designation.

(d)Any designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary by the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors in accordance with this Section 4.17 shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing a resolution of the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors with the Trustee giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the foregoing conditions, and giving the effective date of such designation. Any such filing with the Trustee must occur within 45 days after the end of the Parent Guarantor’s fiscal quarter in which such designation is made (or, in the case of a designation made during the last fiscal quarter of the Parent Guarantor’s fiscal year, within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year).

SECTION 4.18.Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Parent Guarantor shall pay or discharge and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon (i) the Parent Guarantor or any such Subsidiary, (ii) the income or profits of any such Subsidiary which is a corporation or (iii) the property of the Parent Guarantor or any such Subsidiary and (b) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Parent Guarantor or any such Subsidiary; provided that the Parent Guarantor shall not be required to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or for which adequate reserves have been established.

SECTION 4.19.Reports to Holders. So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee:

(a)within 120 days after the end of each of the Parent Guarantor’s fiscal year’s annual reports containing the following information: (a) audited consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Guarantor as of the end of the two most recent fiscal years and audited consolidated income statements and statements of cash flow of the Parent Guarantor for the two most recent fiscal years, including footnotes to such financial statements and the report of the Parent Guarantor’s independent auditors on the financial statements; (b) an operating and financial review of the audited financial statements, including a discussion of the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and capital resources, and a discussion of material commitments and contingencies and critical accounting policies; (c) a description of the business and management of the Parent Guarantor; and (d) material recent developments to the extent not previously reported;

-68-

(b)within 60 days following the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal year of the Parent Guarantor’s quarterly reports containing the following information: (a) an unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the end of such quarter and unaudited condensed statements of income and cash flow for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ending on the unaudited condensed balance sheet date, and the comparable prior year periods for the Parent Guarantor, together with condensed footnote disclosure; (b) operating and financial review of the unaudited financial statements, including a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Parent Guarantor and any material change between the current quarterly period and the corresponding period of the prior year; and (c) material recent developments to the extent not previously reported; and

(c)promptly after the occurrence of any material acquisition, disposition or restructuring of the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any change of the entire Board of Directors, chairman of the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer at the Parent Guarantor or change in auditors of the Parent Guarantor, a press release containing a description of such event.

In addition, the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall furnish to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon the requests of such Holders, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Exchange Act by Persons who are not “affiliates” under the Securities Act.

The Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall also make available copies of all reports furnished to the Trustee (a) on the website of the Ardagh group of companies and (b) through the newswire service of Bloomberg, or, if Bloomberg does not then operate, any similar agency.

SECTION 4.20.Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee or the Security Agent (but without imposing any duty or obligation of any kind on the Trustee or the Security Agent to make any such request), the Issuers and the Guarantors 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 4.21.Security Confirmations. In connection with the issuance of any Additional Notes, the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor shall, and the Parent Guarantor shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take those steps in certain jurisdictions (the “Security Confirmations”) that are taken as a matter of market practice to provide that the Notes then outstanding continue to benefit from the Collateral and the Security Documents and that the Additional Notes will benefit to the extent legally possible from the Collateral and the Security Documents. To the extent any Security Confirmations have not been effected on the date of issuance of the Additional Notes, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor shall, and the Parent Guarantor shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Security Confirmations as soon as practicable.

SECTION 4.22.Suspension of Covenants . If on any date following the Issue Date, the Notes have achieved Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (a “Suspension Event”), then, beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date, the provisions of Sections 4.06, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.16 and the provisions of Section 5.01(b)(iii) and, in each case, any related default provision of this Indenture will cease to be effective and will not be applicable to the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Such Sections and any related default provisions shall apply according to their terms from the first day on which a Suspension Event ceases to be in effect. Such Sections shall not, however, be of any effect with regard to actions of the Parent Guarantor properly taken during the continuance of the Suspension Event, and Section 4.08 shall be interpreted as if it has been in

-69-

effect since the date of this Indenture except that no default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while Section 4.08 was suspended. On the Reversion Date, all Debt incurred during the continuance of the Suspension Event shall be classified, at the Parent Guarantor’s option, as having been incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or one of the sub-clauses set forth in Section 4.06(b) (to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Debt incurred prior to the Suspension Event and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Debt shall not be so permitted to be incurred under Section 4.06(a) or Section 4.06(b), such Debt shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the August 2019 Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.06(b)(iii).

ARTICLE 5
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS

SECTION 5.01.Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.

(a)The Parent Guarantor shall not, in a single transaction or through a series of transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of, or take any action pursuant to any resolution passed by the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors or shareholders with respect to a demerger or division pursuant to which the Parent Guarantor would dispose of, all or substantially all of the Parent Guarantor’s properties and assets (other than Capital Stock, Debt or other securities of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) to any other Person or Persons and the Parent Guarantor shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to enter into any such transaction or series of transactions if such transaction or series of transactions, in the aggregate, would result in the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets (other than Capital Stock, Debt or other securities of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to any other Person or Persons.

SECTION 6.02.Acceleration.

(a)If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) may, and the Trustee, upon the written request of such Holders shall, declare the principal amount of, premium, if any, and any Additional Amounts and accrued interest on all of the outstanding Notes immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration all such amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall become immediately due and payable.

(b)If an Event of Default specified in clauses (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(c)At any time after a declaration of acceleration under this Indenture, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

(i)the Parent Guarantor or either Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A)all overdue interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes then outstanding;

(B)all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, on any outstanding Notes that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes;

(D)all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

-74-

(ii)the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(iii)all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and any Additional Amounts and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.04.

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

(d)In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default as described in Section 6.01(a)(v) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(v) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Debt that gave rise to such Event of Default, or such Debt shall have been discharged in full, within 20 days after the Event of Default arose and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration (if applicable) of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest, including Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

SECTION 6.03.Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may direct the Security Agent to take enforcement action with respect to the Collateral if any amount is declared or becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 (but not otherwise).

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

SECTION 6.04.Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by written notice to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

(a)in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any Note; or

(b)in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of 90% of the outstanding Notes.

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

-75-

SECTION 6.05.Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 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 under this Indenture; provided that:

(a)the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or that the Trustee determines, without obligation, in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction;

(b)the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; and

(c)the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 6.06.Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceedings or pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(a)the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes shall have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;

(b)such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity and/or security (including by way of pre-funding) reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(d)during such 30-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

The limitations in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.06, however, do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

SECTION 6.07.Unconditional Right of Holders to Bring Suit for Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of payment of principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08.Collection Suit by Trustee. The Issuers covenant that if default is made in the payment of:

(a)any installment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

-76-

(b)the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof,

the Issuers shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any), Additional Amounts, if any and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and Additional Amounts, if any and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the amounts provided for in Section 7.05 and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Issuers fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

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 the properly incurred compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.05) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any of the Issuers or Guarantors, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders at their direction in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian 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 properly incurred compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.05. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.05 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money securities and other properties which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10.Application of Money Collected. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee, any Agent, and the Security Agent for amounts due under Section 7.05;

principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Issuers, any Guarantor or any other obligors of the Notes, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 30 days before such record date, the Issuers shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. This Section 6.10 is subject at all times to the provisions set forth in Section 11.02.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Security Agent shall apply the proceeds of the Collateral as directed by the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 6.15.Record Date. The Issuers may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or to consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by Sections 6.04 and 6.05.

-78-

30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.05 prior to such solicitation.

The Trustee and the Security Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with either Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, in the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and in the Security Documents, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Issuers for services in connection with this Indenture and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Trustee, the Security Agent or to the Holders from time to time.

SECTION 7.04.Disclaimer of Trustee and Security Agent. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuers, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee and the Security Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and to authenticate the Notes and the Security Agent represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Trustee and the Security Agent shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers’ direction under any provision of this Indenture nor shall it be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and the Security Agent. The Security Agent shall not nor shall any receiver appointed by or any agent of the Security Agent, by reason of taking possession of any Collateral or any part thereof or any other reason or on any basis whatsoever, be liable to account for anything expect actual receipts or be liable for any loss or damage arising from a realization of the Collateral or any part thereof or from any act, default or omission in relation to the Collateral or any part thereof or from any exercise or non-exercise by it of any power, authority or discretion conferred upon it in relation to the Collateral or any part thereof unless such loss or damage shall be caused by its own fraud or negligence. The Security Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability arising from the fact that the Collateral may be held in safe custody by a custodian. The Security Agent assumes no responsibility for the validity, sufficiency or enforceability (which the Security Agent has not investigated) of the Collateral purported to be created by any supplemental indenture or other document. In addition, the Security Agent has no duty to monitor the performance by the Issuers and the Guarantors of their obligations to the Security Agent nor is it obliged (unless indemnified and/or secured (including by way of prefunding to its satisfaction) to take any other action which may involve the Security Agent in any personal liability or expense.

SECTION 7.05.Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers, failing which the Guarantors, shall pay to the Trustee and the Security Agent such compensation as shall be agreed in writing for their services hereunder. The Trustee’s and the Security Agent’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers, failing which the Guarantors, shall reimburse the Trustee and the Security Agent promptly upon request for all properly incurred disbursements, advances or

-84-

expenses incurred or made by them, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for their services. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred compensation, disbursements, advances and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Security Agent’s agents and counsel.

The Issuers, failing which the Guarantors, shall indemnify the Trustee and the Security Agent against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by either of them without willful misconduct or negligence on their part arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of their duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents against the Issuers and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.05) and defending themselves against any claim, whether asserted by the Issuers, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person, or liability in connection with the execution and performance of any of their powers and duties hereunder). The Trustee and the Security Agent shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Security Agent to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall, at the sole discretion of the Trustee or Security Agent, as applicable, defend the claim and the Trustee and the Security Agent may cooperate and may participate at the Issuers’ expense in such defense. Alternatively, the Trustee and the Security Agent may at their option have separate counsel of their own choosing and the Issuers shall pay the properly incurred fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuers shall not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Issuers’ payment obligations in this Section 7.05, the Trustee and the Security Agent shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in their capacity as Trustee and the Security Agent, except money or property, including any proceeds from the sale of Collateral, held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, additional amounts, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of all Notes under this Indenture.

When either the Trustee or the Security Agent incur expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) with respect to the Issuers, the Guarantors, or any Restricted Subsidiary, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law.

The Issuers’ obligations under this Section 7.05 and any claim or Lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee and the Security Agent, the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuers’ obligations pursuant to Article Eight and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law, and the termination of this Indenture.

SECTION 7.06.Replacement of Trustee or Security Agent. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Security Agent and appointment of a successor Trustee and successor Security Agent shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s and the successor Security Agent’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.06.

The Trustee and, subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Security Agent as provided in this Section and the last paragraph of this Section 7.06, the Security Agent may resign at any time without giving any reason by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee and the Security Agent by so notifying the Trustee, the Security Agent and the Issuers. The Issuers shall remove the Trustee if:

(a)the Trustee or the Security Agent fails to comply with Section 7.09;

-85-

(b)the Trustee or the Security Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(c)a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or the Security Agent or their property; or

(d)the Trustee or the Security Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee or the Security Agent resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee or the Security Agent for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or a successor Security Agent, as the case may be. Within one year after the successor Trustee or Security Agent takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee or Security Agent to replace the successor Trustee or Security Agent appointed by the Issuers. If the successor Trustee or Security Agent does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.06 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee or Security Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or Security Agent, the Issuers or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, at the expense of the Issuers, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Security Agent.

A successor Trustee or Security Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or Security Agent, as the case may be, and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or Security Agent shall become effective, and the successor Trustee or Security Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee or the Security Agent under this Indenture. The successor Trustee or Security Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee or Security Agent shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Security Agent to the successor Trustee or Security Agent; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee or Security Agent hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.05.

If a successor Trustee or Security Agent does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee or Security Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or Security Agent, the Issuers or the Holders of at least 30% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Security Agent at the expense of the Issuers. Without prejudice to the right of the Issuers to appoint a successor Trustee or a successor Security Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the retiring Trustee or Security Agent may appoint a successor Trustee or Security Agent at any time prior to the date on which a successor Trustee or Security Agent takes office.

If the Trustee or the Security Agent fails to comply with Section 7.09, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee or the Security Agent and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Security Agent.

In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any resignation, removal or replacement of the Security Agent pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall not be effective until (a) a successor to the Security Agent has agreed to act under the terms of this Indenture and (b) all of the Security Interests in the Collateral has been transferred to such successor. Any replacement or successor Security Agent shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or London, United Kingdom, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon acceptance of its appointment as Security Agent hereunder by a replacement or successor, such replacement or successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Security Agent hereunder, and the retiring Security Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

-86-

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee or the Security Agent pursuant to this Section 7.06, the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.05 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Security Agent.

SECTION 7.07.Successor Trustee or Security Agent by Merger. Any corporation into which the Trustee or the Security Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Security Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Security Agent, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Security Agent hereunder; provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, and each Holder by accepting the Notes acknowledges and agrees that the Issuers hereby appoints Citibank, N.A., London Branch to act as Security Agent hereunder, and Citibank, N.A., London Branch accepts such appointment. Each Holder by accepting the Notes, authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee and the Security Agent on such Holder’s behalf to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and the Trustee and the Holders acknowledge that the Security Agent will be acting in respect to the Security Documents and the security granted thereunder on the terms outlined therein (which terms in respect of the rights and protections of the Security Agent in the event of an inconsistency with the terms of this Indenture, will prevail), including, without limitation, Schedule 6 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(a)The Security Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more sub-agents or co-trustees appointed by it. The Security Agent and any such sub-agent or co-trustee may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through its affiliates. All of the provisions of this Indenture applicable to the Security Agent (other than covenants and obligations relating to the Parallel Debt) including, without limitation, its rights to be indemnified, shall apply to and be enforceable by any such sub-agent and affiliates of a Security Agent and any such sub-agent or co-trustee. All references herein to a “Security Agent” (other than covenants and obligations relating to the Parallel Debt) shall include any such sub-agent or co-trustee and affiliates of a Security Agent or any such sub-agent or co-trustee.

(b)It is the purpose of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. Without limiting Section 7.08(a), it is recognized that in case of litigation under, or enforcement of, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Security Documents, or in case the Security Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the Security Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Security Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected

-87-

by the Security Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, Security Agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative so-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Security Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Security Agents”).

(c)In the event that the Security Agent appoints a Supplemental Security Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Indenture or any of the other Security Documents (other than the rights arising in respect of the Parallel Debts under Section 11.05) to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to such Security Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Security Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Security Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Security Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Security Agent (other than covenants and obligations relating to the Parallel Debt) shall run to and be enforceable by either such Security Agent or such Supplemental Security Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Indenture (and, in particular, this Article Seven) that refer to the Security Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Security Agent and all references therein to the Security Agent shall be deemed to be references to a Security Agent and/or such Supplemental Security Agent, as the context may require.

(d)Should any instrument in writing from the Issuers or any other obligor be required by any Supplemental Security Agent so appointed by the Security Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Parent Guarantor shall, or shall cause the Issuers and relevant Guarantor to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Security Agent. In case any Supplemental Security Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Security Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Security Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Security Agent.

SECTION 7.09.Eligibility; Disqualification. There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of England and Wales or the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power and which is generally recognized as a corporation which customarily performs such corporate trustee roles and provides such corporate trustee services in transactions similar in nature to the offering of the Notes as described in the Offering Memorandum.

SECTION 7.10.Appointment of Co-Trustee.

(a)It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on Default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee.

(b)In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and Lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the

-88-

extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

(c)Should any instrument in writing from the Issuers be required by the separate or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of New York and the jurisdictions of organization of the Issuers, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuers; provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Issuers do not execute any such instrument within 15 days after request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Issuers to execute any such instrument in the Issuers’ name and stead. In case any separate or co-trustee or a successor to either shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

(d)Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)all rights and powers, conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and may be exercised or performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee; and

(ii)no trustee hereunder shall be liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.

(e)Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article Seven.

(f)Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successors trustee.

SECTION 7.11.Resignation of Agents.

(a)Any Agent may resign its appointment hereunder at any time without the need to give any reason and without being responsible for any costs associated therewith by giving to the Issuers and the Trustee and (except in the case of resignation of the Principal Paying Agent) the Principal Paying Agent 30 days’ written notice to that effect (waivable by the Issuers and the Trustee); provided that in the case of resignation of the Principal Paying Agent no such resignation shall take effect until a new Principal Paying Agent (approved in advance in writing by the Trustee) shall have been appointed by the Issuers to exercise the powers and undertake the duties hereby conferred and imposed upon the Principal Paying Agent. Following receipt of a notice of resignation from any Agent, the Issuers shall promptly give notice thereof to the Holders in accordance with Section 12.02. Such notice shall expire at least 30 days before or after any due date for payment in respect of the Notes.

-89-

(b)If any Agent gives notice of its resignation in accordance with this Section 7.11 and a replacement Agent is required and by the tenth day before the expiration of such notice such replacement has not been duly appointed, such Agent may itself appoint as its replacement any reputable and experienced financial institution. Immediately following such appointment, the Issuers shall give notice of such appointment to the Trustee, the remaining Agents and the Holders whereupon the Issuers, the Trustee, the remaining Agents and the replacement Agent shall acquire and become subject to the same rights and obligations between themselves as if they had entered into an agreement in the form mutatis mutandis of this Indenture.

(c)Upon its resignation becoming effective the Principal Paying Agent shall forthwith transfer all moneys held by it hereunder hereof to the successor Principal Paying Agent or, if none, the Trustee or to the Trustee’s order, but shall have no other duties or responsibilities hereunder, and shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuers of its remuneration for the services previously rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection therewith.

Prior to receiving such written notification from the Trustee, the Agents shall be the agents of the Issuers and need have no concern for the interests of the Holders.

(c)Funds held by Agents.

(d)Publication of Notices. Any obligation the Agents may have to publish a notice to Holders of Global Notes on behalf of the Issuers will be met upon delivery of the notice to Euroclear and/or Clearstream.

(e)Instructions. In the event that instructions given to any Agent are not reasonably clear, then such Agent shall be entitled to seek clarification from the Issuers or other party entitled to give the Agents instructions under this Indenture by written request promptly, and in any event within one Business Day of receipt by such Agent of such instructions. If an Agent has sought clarification in accordance with this Section 7.12, then such Agent shall be entitled to take no action until such clarification is provided, and shall not incur any liability for not taking any action pending receipt of such clarification.

-90-

provide any forms, documentation or other information pursuant to this Section 7.12(g) to the extent that: (i) any such form, documentation or other information (or the information required to be provided on such form or documentation) is not reasonably available to such Party and cannot be obtained by such Party using reasonable efforts; or (ii) doing so would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Party constitute a breach of any: (a) Applicable Law; (b) fiduciary duty; or (c) duty of confidentiality. For purposes of this Section 7.12(g), “Applicable Law” shall be deemed to include (i) any rule or practice of any Authority by which any Party is bound or with which it is accustomed to comply; (ii) any agreement between any Authorities; and (iii) any agreement between any Authority and any Party that is customarily entered into by institutions of a similar nature.

(i)The Issuers shall notify each Agent in the event that they determine that any payment to be made by an Agent under the Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated; provided, however, that the Issuers’ obligations under this Section 7.12(h) shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of either Issuer, the Notes, or both.

(ii)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Notes for or on account of any Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event the Agent shall make such payment after such deduction or withholding has been made and shall account to the relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so deducted or withheld or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Issuers the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Issuers shall so account to the relevant Authority for such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 7.12(h)(ii).

ARTICLE 8
DEFEASANCE; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 8.01.Issuers’ Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuers and the Parent Guarantor may, at their option and at any time prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, by a resolution of their Board of Directors, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight.

SECTION 8.02.Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuers’ or the Parent Guarantor’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to the Notes on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “legal defeasance”). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means that the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes and to have satisfied all their other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.08 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the provisions set forth in Section 8.06, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this

If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, each Guarantor, if any, shall be released from all its obligations under its Guarantee, and the Trustee shall execute a release of such Guarantee.

SECTION 8.03.Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuers’ or the Parent Guarantor’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from their obligations under any covenant contained in Sections 4.04 through 4.11 (inclusive), Sections 4.13 through 4.17 (inclusive), Sections 4.19 through 4.21 (inclusive) and Section 5.01 with respect to the Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default, but, except as specified in this Section 8.03, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

SECTION 8.04.Conditions to Defeasance. In order to exercise either legal defeasance or covenant defeasance:

(c)in the case of an election under Section 8.03, the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

-92-

(d)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or, insofar as bankruptcy or insolvency events described in clauses (ix) and (x) of Section 6.01(a) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 123rd day after the date of such deposit;

(e)such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in this Indenture with respect to any of the Issuers’ securities;

(g)such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder;

(h)the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the country of each Issuer’s or the Parent Guarantor’s incorporation to the effect that after the 123rd day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee that the Trustee shall have a perfected security interest in such trust funds for the ratable benefit of the Holders;

(i)the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor or others, or removing assets beyond the reach of the relevant creditors or increasing debts of the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor to the detriment of the relevant creditors;

(j)no event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Issuers from making payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the date of such deposit or at any time ending on the 123rd day after the date of such deposit; and

(k)the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the legal defeasance or the covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect covenant defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when due because of any acceleration occurring after an Event of Default, then the Issuers and the Guarantors shall remain liable for such payments.

SECTION 8.05.Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture (and all Liens on Collateral created pursuant to the Security Documents) shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder (except, in each case, as to surviving rights under Section 2.06), or as to the Notes (except, in each case, as to surviving rights under Section 2.06) when:

-93-

(c)the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor has delivered an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee each stating that: (x) all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied, and (y) such satisfaction and discharge will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture, the Security Documents or any other agreement or instrument governed by the laws of the State of New York to which either Issuer or any Subsidiary is a party or by which either Issuer or any Subsidiary is bound.

SECTION 8.06.Survival of Certain Obligations. Notwithstanding Sections 8.01 and 8.03, any obligations of the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors in Sections 2.02 through 2.14 (inclusive), Section 6.07, Section 7.05 and Section 7.06 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full.

By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. Such waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws.

SECTION 12.10.Successors. All agreements of the Issuers and any Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

-110-

SECTION 12.11.Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

SECTION 12.12.Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Sheet and Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

SECTION 12.13.Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 12.14.Currency Indemnity. Euros are the required currency (the “Required Currency”) of account and payment for all sums payable under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture. Any amount received or recovered in respect of the Notes, any Guarantee or otherwise under this Indenture in a currency other than the  Required Currency (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding up or dissolution of each Issuer, any Subsidiary or otherwise) by the Trustee or a Holder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to such Holder from the Issuers or the Guarantors shall constitute a discharge of the Issuers’ or the Guarantors’ obligations only to the extent of the amount of the  Required Currency which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in such other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not possible to purchase the  Required Currency on that date, on the first date on which it is possible to do so). If the amount of the  Required Currency to be recovered is less than the amount of the  Required Currency expressed to be due to the recipient under any Note, the Issuers or the Guarantors shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any further purchase of the  Required Currency in an amount equal to such difference. For the purposes of this Section 12.14, it will be sufficient for the holder to certify that it would have suffered a loss had the actual purchase of the  Required Currency been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of the  Required Currency on that date had not been possible, on the first date on which it would have been possible). The foregoing indemnities, to the extent permitted by law: (a) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors’; (b) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action; (c) shall apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder; and (d) shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Note or other judgment or order.

SECTION 12.15.Contractual Recognition of Bail-In

The Issuers acknowledge and accept that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties:

(a) any Liability may be subject to the exercise of Write-down and Conversion Powers by the Resolution Authority;

(b)the Issuers will be bound by the effect of any application of any Write-down and Conversion Powers in relation to any Liability and in particular (but without limitation) by:

(1)any reduction in the principal amount, in full or in part, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any Liability; and

-111-

(2)any conversion of all or part of any Liability into ordinary shares or other instruments of ownership of Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG or any other Person; that may result from any exercise of any Write-down and Conversion Powers in relation to any Liability;

(c)the terms of this Indenture and the rights of the Issuers hereunder may be varied, to the extent necessary, to give effect to any exercise of any Write-down and Conversion Powers in relation to any Liability and the Issuers will be bound by any such variation;

(d)ordinary shares or other instruments of ownership of Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG or any other Person may be issued to or conferred on an Issuer as a result of any exercise of any Write-down and Conversion Powers in relation to any Liability.

For purposes of this Section 12.15:

"Liability" means any liability of Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG to the Issuers arising under or in connection with this Indenture;

“Resolution Authority” means the German Federal Agency for Financial Markets Stabilisation (Bundesanstalt für Finanzmarktstabilisierung), or any other body which has authority to exercise any Write-down and Conversion Powers; and

“Write-down and Conversion Powers” means any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification or suspension power existing from time to time under, and exercised in compliance with, any laws, regulations, rules or requirements in effect in Germany, relating to the transposition of Directive 2014/59/EU establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms as amended from time to time, including but not limited to the German Recovery and Resolution Act (Sanerungs-und Abwicklungsgesetz) as amended from time to time, and the instruments, rules and standards created thereunder, pursuant to which:

(a)any obligation of Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG (or other affiliate of such entity) can be reduced, cancelled, modified or converted into shares, other securities or other obligations of such entity or any other person (or suspended for a temporary period); and

(b)any right in a contract governing an obligation of Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG may be deemed to have been exercised.

Schedule I

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1. agreed security principles

The guarantees and security to be provided under and in connection with this Indenture will be given in accordance with the security and guarantee principles set out in this Schedule I (the “Agreed Security Principles”). Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreed Security Principles, so long as the Existing Secured Notes remain outstanding, the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Notes shall be the same as those provided in respect of the Existing Secured Notes.

2. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

2.1 The Agreed Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective guarantees and security from the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) in certain jurisdictions. In particular:

(a) mandatory law provisions, general legal, statutory and constitutional documents’ limitations, capital maintenance, the prohibition of an intervention threatening the existence of a German member of the Group (Verstoß gegen das Verbot des existenzvernichtenden Eingriffs), financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalization” rules, “transfer pricing”, retention of title claims, exchange control restrictions, employee consultation or approval requirements, regulatory restrictions and similar principles may limit the ability of a member of the Group to provide a guarantee or security or may require that the guarantee and/or security be limited by an amount or otherwise. If any such limit applies, the guarantees and security provided will be limited to the maximum amount which the relevant member of the Group may provide having regard to applicable law;

(b) a factor in determining whether or not security shall be taken is the applicable cost which shall not be disproportionate to the benefit to the Holders (or any other beneficiary of the security) of obtaining such security. For these purposes “cost” includes, but is not limited to, income or corporate tax cost, registration taxes payable on the creation or enforcement or for the continuance of any security, notary costs, stamp duties, out-of-pocket expenses, and other fees and expenses directly incurred by the relevant grantor of security or any of its direct or indirect owners, subsidiaries or affiliates;

(c) unless each consent required by law, statute, the terms of any applicable contract, instrument or constitutional document or otherwise from the minority shareholders in, or any relevant corporate body of, any member of the Group which is not wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by another member of the Group is obtained, such Group member shall not be required to grant guarantees and security provided that the relevant company and the Parent Guarantor have used reasonable efforts to obtain such consent;

(d) guarantees should not be granted and security shall not be created or perfected to the extent that it would result in a risk to the directors or officers of the relevant grantor of such

Schedule I-1

guarantee and security of contravention of any statutory duty in such capacity or their fiduciary duties and/or which could reasonably be expected to result in personal, civil or criminal liability on the part of any such director or officer;

(e) any assets subject to third party arrangements (including shareholder agreements or joint venture agreements) which would prevent or prohibit those assets from being subject to legal, valid, binding and enforceable security will be excluded from the security created by any relevant security document; provided that the relevant member of the Group has used reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consent or waiver if the asset is material, it being acknowledged that reasonable efforts will not require the payment by the Parent Guarantor or the relevant company of any monetary consideration (other than nominal amounts or expenses) to obtain any such consent or waiver;

(f) the maximum guaranteed or secured amount may be limited to minimize stamp duty, notarization, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the benefit of increasing the guaranteed or secured amount is disproportionate to the level of such fee, taxes and duties;

(g) where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of granting security over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such security, security will be granted over the material assets only;

(h) the giving of a guarantee, the granting of security or the perfection of the security granted will not be required if:

(i) it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant member of the Group to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Indenture; or

(ii) it would have a material adverse effect on the tax arrangements of the Group or any member of the Group,

provided that, in each case, the relevant member of the Group shall use reasonable efforts to overcome such obstacle. The secured and guaranteed obligations will be limited where necessary to prevent any material additional tax liability of any member of the Group;

(i) other than as provided for in Section 11.04(b)(vi) of this Indenture, and save for security granted by a Guarantor organized under the laws of England & Wales, Ireland, The Netherlands, or any state of the United States of America, security shall only be granted over the Capital Stock of each Guarantor;

(j)no fixed security shall be required to be given over bank accounts, inventory, receivables or intellectual property rights where satisfactory floating security (or equivalent in the relevant jurisdiction) can be taken over such assets; and

(k) no perfection action will be required in jurisdictions in which a Guarantor is not located.

3. guarantees and security

3.1 It is agreed between the parties to this Indenture that subject to the other provisions of this Schedule I, no individual item of security shall be granted unless on or about the same time, security of an

[Schedule I-2]

equivalent nature is granted to or for the benefit of Law Debenture Trust Company, in its capacity as trustee for certain of the Existing Secured Notes.

3.2 In the case of guarantees and security to be granted by a Guarantor incorporated in The Netherlands or France, if the relevant Guarantor has at least 50 employees, and/or over any Dutch or French assets, if the relevant entity granting such pledge has at least 50 employees, or any other jurisdictions or assets requiring receipt of advice from a works council, such guarantees and security shall not be granted until neutral or positive advice is received from any relevant works council and such work council shall be allowed to assist to the relevant board meeting of such Guarantor or relevant entity granting such pledge.

3.3 In the case of guarantees and security to be granted by a Guarantor incorporated in The Netherlands or France and/or over any Dutch or French assets, or any other jurisdictions or assets requiring receipt of advice from a works council, such guarantees and security shall not be granted until neutral or positive advice is received from any relevant works council.

3.4 Each guarantee will be an upstream, cross-stream and downstream guarantee and each guarantee and security will be for all liabilities of the relevant members of the Group under the Indenture in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of the Agreed Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction.

3.5 No subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that is a Controlled Foreign Corporation (as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) (or that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by any such Controlled Foreign Corporation) shall be required to give a guarantee or pledge any of its assets (including shares in a subsidiary) as security for an obligation of a United States Person (as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Furthermore, not more than 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote of any such subsidiary may be pledged directly or indirectly as security for an obligation of a United States Person. These principles also apply with respect to any entity that becomes a United States Person and/or a Controlled Foreign Corporation following any guarantee or pledge of assets or shares.

3.6 No Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor shall guarantee the August 2019 Senior Notes unless such Subsidiary provides a Guarantee.

4. TERMS OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS

4.1 Security shall (to the extent legally possible, subject to the general principles above) be created in favor of the Security Agent, the Trustee and the Holders or the Security Agent on behalf of or as trustee for the Trustee and the Holders (as considered appropriate by counsel to the Security Agent), to secure all of the obligations of the party giving the relevant security as well as all liabilities under the Indenture and the Notes (to the extent permitted by local law).

4.2 The security documents should only operate to create security rather than to impose new commercial obligations. Accordingly, representations shall not be included and undertakings (such as in respect of insurance, maintenance of assets, information or the payment of costs) shall be strictly limited to those necessary for the creation or perfection of the security, will not unreasonably interfere with the normal running of the business and shall not be included to the extent the subject matter thereof is the same as a corresponding undertaking in the Indenture and shall not operate so as to prevent transactions which are otherwise permitted under the Indenture or to require additional consents or authorizations or to impose commercial obligations.

[Schedule I-3]

4.3 The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any security taken as part of this transaction:

(a) security will not be enforceable in respect of the Notes until an Event of Default has occurred in respect of which the Notes are being accelerated (a “Declared Default”);

(b) information, such as lists of assets, will be provided if, in the opinion of counsel to the Security Agent, these are required by local law to be provided to perfect or register the security or to ensure the security can be enforced and, unless in the opinion of counsel to the Security Agent required to be provided by local law more frequently, be provided annually or, following an Event of Default which is continuing, on the Security Agent’s reasonable request; and

(c) each of the Trustee, the Security Agent and the Holders should only be able to exercise any power of attorney granted to it under the security documents following a Declared Default.

5. bank accounts

5.1 If a member of the Group grants security over its bank accounts it shall be free to deal with those accounts in the ordinary course of its business until a Declared Default has occurred. No control agreements will be required in respect of any account located in the United States of America.

5.2 If required by local law to perfect the security, notice of the security will be served on the account bank within 10 Business Days of the security being granted and the relevant member of the Group shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 20 business days of service. If the relevant member of the Group has used its reasonable efforts but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement its obligation to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 20 Business Day period. Irrespective of whether notice of the security is required for perfection, if the service of notice would prevent the relevant member of the Group from using a bank account in the ordinary course of its business no notice of security shall be served until a Declared Default has occurred. There will be no restriction on the closure of any bank accounts which are no longer required by the Group.

5.3 Any security over bank accounts shall be subject to any prior security interests in favor of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank. The notice of security may request these are waived or subordinated by the account bank but the Guarantor shall not be required to change its banking arrangements if these security interests are not waived or subordinated or only partially waived or subordinated.

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

6. REAL ESTATE

6.1 No security will be given over real property unless it has a value in excess of €20,000,000 (twenty million euro) and the secured parties under any Credit Facility have been granted a lien on such real property.

6.2 No security will be given over leasehold interests unless there is an option to acquire the freehold and where the freehold will have a value in excess of the amount referred to in paragraph 6.1 above in which case security will be given at the time of the exercise of that option.

[Schedule I-4]

6.3 There will be no obligation to investigate title, provide surveys or other insurance or environmental due diligence.

6.4 A Guarantor will be under no obligation to obtain any landlord consent required to grant security over its real estate, but only to investigate the possibility thereof.

6.5 Until the release provided for in Section 11.04(b)(vi) of this Indenture, with respect to any real estate located in Germany, a submission to immediate foreclosure relating to any real estate security only in relation to 5% of the amount secured under the relevant land charge is to be provided. A Guarantor will be under no obligation to notify any insurer of its real estate relating to any real estate security.

7. FIXED ASSETS

7.1 If a member of the Group grants security over its fixed assets it shall be free to deal with those assets in the ordinary course of its business until a Declared Default has occurred.

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

8. INSURANCE POLICIES

8.1 If required by local law to perfect the security or to exclude the possibility that the debtor pays to the relevant member of the Group with discharging effect, notice of the security will be served on the insurance provider within 10 Business Days of the security being granted and the relevant member of the Group shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 20 Business Days of service. If the relevant member of the Group has used its reasonable efforts but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement its obligation to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 20 Business Day period.

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

9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

9.1 If a member of the Group grants security over its intellectual property it shall be free to deal with those assets in the ordinary course of its business (including, without limitation, allowing its intellectual property to lapse if no longer material to its business and if permitted by the Indenture) until a Declared Default has occurred.

9.2 No security shall be granted over any intellectual property which cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant licensing agreement. No notice shall be prepared or given to any third party from whom intellectual property is licensed until a Declared Default has occurred.

9.3 The security documents may provide for the applications of registration as may be required under local law for the applicable registration of the security over intellectual property to be provided by the relevant member of the Group in its jurisdiction of incorporation and any central registry only and subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles; provided that no registration of the transfer of the relevant intellectual property to the Holders, the Trustee or the Security Agent shall be required under the relevant security documents.

[Schedule I-5]

10. INTERCOMPANY RECEIVABLES

10.1 If a member of the Group grants security over its intercompany receivables it shall be free to deal with those receivables in the ordinary course of its business until a Declared Default has occurred.

10.2 If required by local law to perfect the security or to exclude the possibility that the debtor pays to the relevant member of the Group with discharging effect, notice of the security will be served on the relevant lender within 10 Business Days of the security being granted.

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

11. TRADE RECEIVABLES and inventory

11.2 No notice of security may be prepared or served until the occurrence of a Declared Default.

11.3 No security will be granted over any trade receivables which cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant contract.

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

11.5 Any list of trade receivables required shall not include details of the underlying contracts to the extent not required to perfect the security transfer and make the receivables identifiable (bestimmbar) or to ensure the security can be enforced.

12. SHARES / PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

12.1 The security document will be governed by the laws of the person whose shares or partnership interests are being secured and not by the law of the country of the person granting the security.

12.2 Until a Declared Default has occurred, the securing person will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares or partnership interests pledged by it in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the security or cause an Event of Default to occur and the company whose shares or partnership interests have been pledged will, subject to the terms of the Indenture, be permitted to pay dividends.

12.3 Where customary, as soon as reasonably practicable following execution of the share pledge, the share certificate and (where available and customary) a stock transfer form executed in blank will be provided to the Security Agent and where required by law the share certificate or shareholders register will be endorsed or written up and the endorsed share certificate or a copy of the written up register provided to the Security Agent.

13. RELEASE OF SECURITY

Unless required by local law the circumstances in which the security shall be released should not be dealt with in individual security documents but, if so required, shall, except to the extent required

[Schedule I-6]

by local law, be the same as those set out in the Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and not require any further consent by the Security Agent, the Trustee or any Holder.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

2.125% Senior Secured Note Due 2026

1.Interest

Ardagh Packaging Finance plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, and Ardagh Holdings USA Inc. a Delaware corporation (each corporation, and such respective successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein collectively called the “Issuers”), for value received, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note from June 10, 2020 at the rate per annum of 2.125%. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the interest rate borne by the Notes compounded semi-annually, and it shall pay interest on other overdue amounts at the same rate to the extent lawful. Any interest paid on this Note shall be increased to the extent necessary to pay Additional Amounts as set forth in this Note.

2.Additional Amounts

(a)All payments that the Issuers make under or with respect to the Notes or that the Guarantors make under or with respect to the Guarantees shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and other similar liabilities related thereto) of whatever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied on such payments by or on behalf of any jurisdiction (other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia) in which any Issuer or Guarantor is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or from or through which any of the foregoing (or its agents, including the Paying Agent) makes any payment on this Note or by or within any department, political subdivision or governmental authority of or in any of the foregoing having power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such Issuer or Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration of law. If either Issuer, a Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed or levied on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to this Note or any Guarantee, such Issuer or Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by each beneficial owner of the Notes, after such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction in respect of any Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted.

(b)None of the Issuers or Guarantors will, however, pay Additional Amounts in respect or on account of:

(i)any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes are imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction by reason of the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s present or former connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt, ownership, holding or disposition of this Note, or by reason of the receipt of any payments in respect of any Notes or any Guarantee, or the exercise or enforcement of rights under any Notes or any Guarantee);

(ii)any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of this Note, following the Issuers’ written request addressed to the Holder or beneficial owner, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements (to the extent such holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so),

A-2

whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Taxes imposed by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction);

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

(iv)any Tax which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to this Note or any Guarantee;

(v)any Tax imposed on or with respect to any payment by any of the Issuers or Guarantors to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that such Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such beneficial owner been the holder of such Note;

(vi)any Tax that is imposed on or with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Notes to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union or the United Kingdom;

(vii)any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had this Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);

(viii)any U.S. federal withholding Taxes or equivalent thereof imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as of the August 2019 Issue Date (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations promulgated thereunder or other official administrative interpretations thereof and any agreements entered into pursuant to current Section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as of the August 2019 Issue Date (or any amended or successor version described above), and including (for the avoidance of doubt) any intergovernmental agreements (and any law, regulation, rule or practice implementing any such intergovernmental agreement) in respect of the foregoing; or

(ix)any combination of the foregoing.

(c)The Issuers and the Guarantors, if the applicable withholding agents, shall (i) make such withholding or deduction as is required by applicable law and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

(d)At least 30 calendar days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to this Note or any Guarantee is due and payable, if the Issuers or any Guarantor shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to this Note or any Guarantee is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the Paying Agent, an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and setting forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to the Holders on the payment date. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such

A-3

payments are necessary. The Issuers shall promptly publish a notice in accordance with Section 12.02 of the Indenture stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and describing the obligation to pay such amounts.

In addition, the Issuers or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay any present or future stamp, issuance, registration, court, documentary, excise or property taxes or other similar taxes, charges and duties, including without limitation, interest, penalties and other similar liabilities with respect thereto, imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of (i) the execution, issue, delivery or registration of this Note or any Guarantee or any other document or instrument referred to thereunder, or (ii) the receipt of any payments under or with respect to, or enforcement of, this Note or any Guarantee.

Upon written request, any of the Issuers or a Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee or a Holder within a reasonable time certified copies of tax receipts evidencing any payment by such Issuer or such Guarantor (as the case may be) of any Taxes imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, in accordance with the procedures described in Section 12.02 of the Indenture, in such form as provided in the normal course by the taxing authority imposing such Taxes. If, notwithstanding the efforts of such Issuer or Guarantor to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, such Issuer or such Guarantor will provide the Trustee or such Holder with other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or holder of such payments by such Issuer or Guarantor. If requested by the Trustee, the Issuers and (to the extent necessary) any Guarantors will provide to the Trustee such information as may be reasonably available to such Issuers and the Guarantors (and not otherwise in the possession of the Trustee) to enable the determination of the amount of any withholding taxes attributable to any particular Holder(s).

(e)Whenever the Indenture or this Note refers to, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to this or any other Note (including payments thereof made pursuant to a Guarantee), such reference includes the payment of Additional Amounts, if applicable.

(f)This paragraph 2 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction (other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia) in which any successor Person to any of the Issuers or Guarantors is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which any such person (or its agents, including the Paying Agent) makes any payment on this or any other Note (or any Guarantee) and any department, political subdivision or governmental authority of or in any of the foregoing having the power to tax.

3.Method of Payment

The Issuers shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date for the next Interest Payment Date even if this Note is cancelled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. The Issuers shall pay principal and interest in euros in immediately available funds that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuers by check mailed to the Holder.

The amount of payments in respect of interest on each Interest Payment Date shall correspond to the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Regulation S Global Note and the Restricted Global Note, as established by the Registrar at the close of business on the relevant Record Date. Payments of principal shall be made upon surrender of the Regulation S Global Note and the Restricted Global Note to the Paying Agent.

This Note is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Issuers may only do this, however, if (i) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of Notes that were initially issued would remain outstanding immediately after the proposed redemption; and (ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days after the closing of such Public Equity Offering.

(b)At any time prior to August 15, 2022, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Issuers may also redeem all or part of the Notes at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus the Notes Applicable Redemption Premium and accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the Redemption Date.

A-5

computed using a discount rate equal to the Bund Rate as of such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points; over

(ii)the outstanding principal amount of such Note.

For the avoidance of doubt, calculation of the Applicable Redemption Premium shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

Any redemption and notice may, in the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

“Bund Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the equivalent yield to maturity as of such Redemption Date of the Comparable German Bund Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable German Bund Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable German Bund Price for such Redemption Date, where:

(1) “Comparable German Bund Issue” means the German Bundesanleihe security selected by any Reference German Bund Dealer as having a fixed maturity most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to August 15, 2022, and that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of euro denominated corporate debt securities in a principal amount approximately equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes and of a maturity most nearly equal to August 15, 2022; provided that if the period from such Redemption Date to August 15, 2022 is less than one year, a fixed maturity of one year shall be used;

(2) “Comparable German Bund Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations, or if an Issuer obtains fewer than four such Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations;

(4) “Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference German Bund Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average as determined by an Issuer of the bid and offered prices for the Comparable German Bund Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to an Issuer by such Reference German Bund Dealer at 3:30 p.m. Frankfurt, Germany time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

(c)At any time on or after August 15, 2022 and prior to maturity, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the Notes. These redemptions will be in amounts of €1,000 or integral multiples thereof at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of their principal amount at maturity), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on

A-6

August 15 of the years set forth below (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant regular Record Date that is prior to the Redemption Date to receive interest due on an interest payment date).

Year	Redemption Price Notes
2022‌	101.063%
2023‌	100.531%
2024 and thereafter‌	100.000%

(d)At any time and from time to time prior to August 15, 2022, the Issuers may, at their option, during each calendar year redeem up to 10% of the original principal amount of the Notes (including the original principal amount of any Additional Notes), upon giving notice as described under Article 3 of the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date.

Any redemption and notice may, in the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

7.Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes

This Note and the other Global Notes may also be redeemed together, in whole but not in part, at the election of the Issuers, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice which notice shall be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in Section 12.02 of the Indenture, at the Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any to (but excluding) the Redemption Date if, as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction which is announced and becomes effective after the August 2019 Issue Date (or, where such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at a later date, after such later date) or, (b) any change which is announced and becomes effective after the August 2019 Issue Date (or, where such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at a later date, after such later date) in the official interpretation or official application of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (each of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), a “Change in Tax Law”), the Issuers would be obligated to pay, on the next date for any payment and as a result of that amendment or change, Additional Amounts (as described above in paragraph 2), with respect to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, which the Issuers cannot avoid by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuers. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Issuers taking reasonable measures available to it, and (b) a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Issuers of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuers has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law.

The Trustee will accept 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 Holders of the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (a) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuers would be obliged to make such payment of Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due and (b) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect.

A-7

Any redemption and notice may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

8.Notice of Redemption

Notice of redemption will be mailed first-class postage prepaid at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to the Holder of this Note to be redeemed at the addresses contained in the Security Register. If this Note is in a denomination larger than €100,000 of principal amount at maturity it may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of €1,000 at maturity. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Notes, the Notes for redemption will be chosen by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. If this Note is redeemed subsequent to a Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date specified above, then any accrued interest will be paid to the Holder at the close of business on such Record Date. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the applicable Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption on or after such date.

9.Repurchase at the Option of Holders

If a Change of Control occurs at any time, the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall offer to purchase on the Change of Control Purchase Date all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of this Note at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount hereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Purchase Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Dates to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided that the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if, when a Change of Control occurs, it has given notice of its intention to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to paragraph 6 or paragraph 7 of this Note. The Issuers shall purchase all Notes properly and timely tendered in the Change of Control Offer and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth in such notice. The Change of Control Offer will state, among other things, the procedures that Holders of the Notes must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer.

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of $100,000,000 and 1.5% of Total Assets, the Parent Guarantor or the Issuers shall, within 20 Business Days, make an offer to purchase (an “Excess Proceeds Offer”) from all Holders and from the holders of any Pari Passu Debt, to the extent required by the terms thereof, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture or the agreements governing any such Pari Passu Debt, the maximum principal amount (expressed as an integral multiple of €1,000) of the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased with the amount of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price as to each Note and any such Pari Passu Debt will be payable in cash in an amount equal to (solely in the case of the Notes) 100% of the principal amount of such Note and (solely in the case of Pari Passu Debt) no greater than 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of such Pari Passu Debt, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Parent Guarantor may use the amount of such Excess Proceeds not used to purchase Notes and Pari Passu Debt for general corporate purposes that are not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis (based upon the principal amount of the Notes and the

A-8

principal amount or accreted value of such Pari Passu Debt tendered by each holder). Upon completion of each such Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

10.Denominations

The Notes (including this Note) are in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof of principal amount at maturity. The transfer of Notes (including this Note) may be registered, and Notes (including this Note) may be exchanged, as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

11.Unclaimed Money

All moneys paid by the Issuers or the Guarantors to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, this Note or any other Note that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable may be repaid to the Issuers or the Guarantors, subject to applicable law, and the Holder of such Note thereafter may look only to the Issuers or the Guarantors for payment thereof.

12.Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions, the Issuers at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under this Note and each other Note, the Guarantees and the Indenture if the Issuers irrevocably deposit with the Trustee euro or European Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

A-11

A consent to any amendment or waiver under the Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender.

14.Defaults and Remedies

This Note and the other Notes have the Events of Default as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (ix) and (x) of Section 6.01(a) of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the registered Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), subject to certain limitations, may, and the Trustee, upon the written request of such Holders shall, declare this Note and the other Notes, and any Additional Amounts and accrued interest, to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default and shall result in this Note and the other Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture, this Note, the other Notes or the Security Documents except as provided in the Indenture and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement. The Trustee and the Security Agent may refuse to enforce the Indenture, this Note or the other Notes unless it receives security and/or indemnity (including by way of pre-funding) reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations and the Intercreditor Agreement (and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee and the Security Agent in its exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind any acceleration and its consequence if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration. The above description of Events of Default and remedies is qualified by reference, and subject in its entirety, to the provisions of the Indenture.

15.Ranking

This Note and the other Notes will be general obligations of each Issuer and will rank senior in right of payment to any and all of each Issuer’s existing and future Debt that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, rank equally in right of payment with all of each Issuer’s existing and future Debt that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, and be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries that do not provide Guarantees.

16.Security

This Note and the other Notes will be secured by the Security Interests in the Collateral, subject to Permitted Collateral Liens. Reference is made to the Indenture for terms relating to such security, including the release, termination and discharge thereof. The Security Documents and the Collateral will be administered by the Security Agent (or in certain circumstances a sub-agent) pursuant to the Security Documents, including the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of all Holders and holders of certain Debt permitted to be secured on the Collateral. The Issuers shall not be required to make any notation on this Note to reflect any grant of such security or any such release, termination or discharge. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to and accepted the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement (whether then entered into or entered into in the future pursuant to the provisions described herein).

A-12

17.Trustee Dealings with the Issuers

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 Issuers, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-Registrar or co-Paying Agent may do the same with like rights.

18.No Recourse Against Others

A director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or shareholder, as such, of the Issuers or the Guarantors shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under this Note, the other Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

19.Authentication

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

20.Abbreviations

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

21.ISIN and Common Code Numbers

The Issuers may cause ISIN or Common Code numbers to be printed on the Notes, and if so the Trustee shall use ISIN and Common Code numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed on the Notes.

22.Governing Law

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THEREOF.
