SECTION 6. Applicable Procedures for Delegending.




     (a) Promptly after one year has elapsed following (i) the date of original issuance of
Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes or (ii) if the Issuer has issued any Additional Debt Securities
with the same terms and the same CUSIP number as the Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes under Section
310 of the Original Indenture within one year following the last date of original issuance of
Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes, the last date of original issuance of such Additional Debt
Securities, if the Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes (including any Additional Debt Securities with
the same terms and the same CUSIP number as the Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes) are freely
tradable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or otherwise) without volume restrictions
by Holders who are not Affiliates of the Issuer, the Issuer shall:




	 	1.	 	instruct the Trustee in writing to remove the Restricted Debt Securities Legend
described in Section 5 above from the Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes by delivering to
the Trustee a certificate in the form of Exhibit F, and upon such instruction
the Restricted Debt Securities Legend shall be deemed removed from any Global
Securities representing such Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes without further action on
the part of Holders;

	 	2.	 	notify Holders of the Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes that the Restricted Debt
Securities Legend has been removed or deemed removed; and
	 
	 	3.	 	notify the Trustee by delivering to the Trustee a certificate in the form of
Exhibit F attached hereto and instruct DTC to change the CUSIP number for the
Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes to the unrestricted CUSIP number.




In no event will the failure of the Issuer to provide any notice set forth in this paragraph or of
the Trustee to remove the Restricted Debt Securities Legend constitute a failure by the Issuer to
comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in the Indenture for purposes of Section
501 of the Original Indenture or otherwise. Any Restricted Debt Security (or security issued in
exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in
accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Restricted Debt Security for exchange to
the Security Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Article Three of the Original
Indenture, be exchanged for a new Debt Security or Debt Securities, of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Debt Securities Legend required by Article
Three of the Original Indenture and this Section 6. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing
upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and promptly after a Registration
Statement with respect to the Debt Securities, if any, has been declared effective under the
Securities Act.




     (b) Notwithstanding any provision of Sections 5 or 6 herein or Section 308 of the Original
Indenture to the contrary, in the event that Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act (or
any successor rule) is amended to change the one-year holding period thereunder (or the
corresponding period under any successor rule), from and after receipt by the Trustee of the
Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for in Section 308(c)(iii) of the Original
Indenture, (i) each reference in this Section 6 to “one year” and in the Restricted Debt Securities
Legend set forth in Section 5(c) to “ONE YEAR” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be
references to such changed period, and (ii) all corresponding references in the Debt Securities
(including the definition of Resale Restriction Termination Date) and the Restricted Debt
Securities Legends thereon shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed
period, provided that such changes shall not become effective if they are otherwise prohibited by,
or would otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable federal securities laws. The
provisions of this Section 6(b) will not be effective until such time as the Opinion of Counsel and
Officers’ Certificate have been received by the Trustee hereunder. This Section 6 shall apply to
successive amendments to Rule 144 (or any successor rule) changing the holding period thereunder.



SECTION 7. Amendments




     (a) The preamble of the Original Indenture is hereby amended by replacing each reference to
“101 Barclay Street 21W” with “101 Barclay Street 4 East.”



     (b) The preamble of the Original Indenture is hereby amended by replacing each reference to

exceed, after giving effect to the relevant transaction, $250,000,000;”.



SECTION 8. Governing Law.




     This Third Supplemental Indenture and each of the Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, but without
giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of
the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.



SECTION 9. No Recourse Against Others.




     No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the
Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes, or payment under any of the Guarantees, or for any claim based
thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of the Issuer or any Guarantor contained in this Third Supplemental Indenture, or in any
of the Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes or Guarantees, or because of the creation of any
indebtedness represented thereby shall be had against any incorporator or against any past, present
or future partner, shareholder, other equityholder, officer, director, employee or controlling
person, as such, of the Issuer, any Guarantor or of any successor Person thereof, either directly

OF

AND

NORTEL NETWORKS INC.



For value received, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and
severally to the Holder of this Note upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee on
behalf of each such Holder the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on this Note, when and as the same shall become due and
payable, whether on the Stated Maturity Date, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption
or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the indenture dated as of July 5, 2006 among
Nortel Networks Limited, as issuer, Nortel Networks Corporation and Nortel Networks Inc., as
guarantors, and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Original Indenture” and, as supplemented by
the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 5, 2006, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated
as of May 1, 2007 and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 28, 2008 (the “Third
Supplemental Indenture”), in each case, among Nortel Networks Limited, as issuer, Nortel Networks
Corporation and Nortel Networks Inc., as guarantors, and The Bank of New York, as trustee, the
“Indenture”). In case of the failure of Nortel Networks Limited, a corporation organized under the
laws of Canada (herein called the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor Person under the
Indenture), punctually to make any such payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, and
Additional Amounts, if any, each Guarantor, for so long as this Guarantee shall be in effect,
hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made to or to the order of the Trustee punctually
when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether on the Stated Maturity Date or by
declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by
the Issuer.



Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were the principal
debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall
be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of this Note or the Indenture,
any failure to enforce the provisions of this Note or the Indenture, or any waiver, modification or
indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto, by the Holder of this Note or the Trustee or
any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or
guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to this Note or the
indebtedness evidenced and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be
discharged except by payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this
Note or as otherwise described in Section 203 of the Original Indenture.



The Guarantee of each Guarantor hereunder shall be automatically and unconditionally released on
the terms set forth in Section 203(b) of the Original Indenture.




A-6









 




Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of this Note and the Trustee against
the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by such Guarantor pursuant to the
provisions of this Guarantee; provided that no such Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce, or to
receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on all Notes of the same series issued under the Indenture shall have
been paid in full.



Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be direct, unconditioned and
unsubordinated and will rank equally and ratably without preference and at least equally with other
senior unsecured obligations of such Guarantor, except to the extent prescribed by law. The Holder
of a guaranteed Note will be entitled to payment under this Guarantee without taking any action
whatsoever against the Issuer.



No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the guarantees of the Guarantors, which are absolute and unconditional, of the due
and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Note upon which
this Guarantee is endorsed.



This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of
authentication of this Note shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under
the Indenture.



All terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.



This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, but without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the
application of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

Back of Note

10.750% Senior Notes due 2016





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




	 	1.	 	Interest. Nortel Networks Limited, a Canadian corporation (such corporation,
and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being
herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on
January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on July 15, 2008 (or, if any such day is
not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from May 28, 2008.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
	 
	 	 	 	[If Original Note, then insert—The Issuer agrees to pay Additional Interest, if
any, on the principal amount of this Note as and to the extent set forth in the 2008
Registration Rights Agreement.]
	 
	 	 	 	Solely for purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada) and without
affecting the calculation of interest on the Notes, the yearly rate of interest for
any portion of an interest period of less than a full calendar year is the percent
rate per annum noted on the Notes multiplied by the actual number of days in the
calendar year in which interest is paid divided by the number of days in such
portion of the interest period.
	 
	 	2.	 	Guarantees. This Note is entitled to the benefits of the certain senior,
unsecured Guarantees of the Guarantors. Reference is hereby made to Article II of the
Original Indenture and to the Guarantees endorsed on this Note for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the
Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders. The Guarantee of each Guarantor hereunder
shall be automatically and unconditionally released on the terms set forth in Section
203(b) of the Original Indenture.
	 
	 	3.	 	Method of Payment. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
date on which any principal of or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer
shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (as defined below) money
sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest. The Issuer will pay interest (except
Defaulted Interest) on the principal amount of the Notes on each January 15 and July 15
to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the
January 1 or July 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled
or repurchased after the Regular Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment
Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.
The Issuer will pay principal and interest in




A-11









 






	 	 	 	Dollars of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts. The Issuer will make all payments in respect of a Note
(including principal and interest) in Dollars at the office of the Trustee. At the
Issuer’s option, however, the Issuer may make such payments by mailing a check to
the registered address of each Holder thereof as such address shall appear on the
Security Register or, with respect to Notes represented by a Global Note, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary
or its nominee. If a payment date is a date other than a Business Day, payment may
be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no
interest shall accrue for the intervening period.






	 	4.	 	Paying Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York, the
Trustee under the Indenture, will act as paying agent (in such capacity, the “Paying
Agent”) and registrar (in such capacity, the “Security Registrar”). The Issuer may
change any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
	 
	 	5.	 	Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 5,
2006 (the “Original Indenture”) among Nortel Networks Limited, as Issuer, Nortel
Networks Corporation and Nortel Networks Inc., as Guarantors, and the Trustee as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 5, 2006 (the “First
Supplemental Indenture”), the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 2007
(the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of
May 28, 2008 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), in each case, among Nortel Networks
Limited, as Issuer, Nortel Networks Corporation and Nortel Networks Inc., as
Guarantors, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The Original Indenture as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture and
the Third Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” The terms
of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture
by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Trust Indenture Act for a statement of
such 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 Notes are obligations of the Issuer. The Notes represented hereby
are Additional 2016 Fixed Rate Notes (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture),
which shall constitute part of a single series with the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued
under the First Supplemental Indenture. Subject to the conditions set forth in the
Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Issuer may issue Additional Debt
Securities. All Notes of a series, including any Exchange Debt Securities or
Additional Debt Securities, will be treated as a single class of securities under the
Indenture.
	 
	 	6.	 	Optional Redemption. (a) At any time prior to July 15, 2011, the Issuer may
redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a
Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus the 2016 Applicable Premium
as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the




A-12









 






	 	 	 	Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).






	 	(b)	 	At any time on or after July 15, 2011, the Issuer may redeem
the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at
the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set
forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any,
on the Notes redeemed to the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right
of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period
beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below:





	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Redemption	 
	 	 	Price	 
	2011
	 	 	105.375	%
	2012
	 	 	103.583	%
	2013
	 	 	101.792	%
	2014 and each year thereafter
	 	 	100.000	%







	 	(c)	 	A notice of redemption complying with Section 1104(a) of the
Original Indenture shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at
its address set forth in the Securities Register. Notes in denominations
greater than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuer has deposited with the
Paying Agent funds finally collected in satisfaction of the applicable
Redemption Price.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Any redemption pursuant to this Section 6 shall be in
accordance with the procedures of Article Eleven of the Original Indenture.






	 	7.	 	Optional Redemption with Qualified Equity Proceeds. (a) At any time, or from
time to time, on or prior to July 15, 2009, the Issuer may, at its option, use
Qualified Equity Proceeds to redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal
amount of the Notes plus any Additional Debt Securities, in whole at any time or in
part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 110.750% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable Redemption
Date; provided that the Issuer makes such redemption not more than 90 days after the
receipt by the Issuer of such Qualified Equity Proceeds.






	 	(b)	 	A notice of redemption complying with Section 1104(a) of the
Original Indenture shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before 




A-13









 






	 	 	 	the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its
address as set forth in the Securities Register. Notes in denominations
greater than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuer has deposited
with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable Redemption
Price.






	 	8.	 	Redemption for Changes in Applicable Withholding Taxes. The Notes of each
series are also subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at the Issuer’s option
at any time in cash, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders,
at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, together with accrued and
unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption and all Additional Amounts then due or
becoming due on the Redemption Date, in the event the Issuer or a Guarantor is, has
become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be
payable, by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, with respect to the Notes
of such series, any Additional Amount as a result of an actual or proposed change or
amendment in the laws (including any regulations promulgated thereunder) or treaties of
any jurisdiction (including Canada or any province or territory thereof) or any change
in or new or different position regarding the application, interpretation or
administration of such laws, treaties or regulations (including a holding, judgment or
order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change is announced or becomes
effective on or after the Issue Date and provided that the Issuer delivers to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel attesting to such change or amendment. For greater
certainty, the provisions of this Section 8 shall only apply to any series of Notes in
the case of a Guarantor if the Guarantee of such Guarantor has been called and such
Guarantor is required under its Guarantee to make payments of principal, interest or
premium, if any, in respect of such series of Notes.
	 
	 	9.	 	No Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory
redemption payments with respect to the Notes.
	 
	 	10.	 	Offer to Repurchase. (a) If a Change of Control occurs, the Issuer shall make
a Change of Control Offer to each Holder to purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000
or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price, in cash,
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, up to but excluding the date of purchase (the “Change of
Control Payment”). Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control
occurs, the Issuer must send, or cause the Trustee to send, by first-class mail, a
notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms
of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the
purchase date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which must be no earlier than 30
days nor later than 60 days after the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be
required to comply with any applicable laws. Each Holder who accepts the Change of
Control Offer will be




A-14









 






	 	 	 	required to deliver the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the
reverse of this Note completed and specifying the portion (in integral multiples of
$1,000) of such Holder’s Notes that it agrees to sell to the Issuer pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice
prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of
Control Payment Date.






	 	11.	 	Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are issued in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The
transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the
Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a
Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The
Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note
selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed
in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for
a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period
between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
	 
	 	12.	 	Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its
owner for all purposes.
	 
	 	13.	 	Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture
and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes and any existing
default or non-compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then-outstanding Notes (including any Additional Debt Securities), voting as a single
class. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture or the Notes may be
amended or supplemented to the extent permitted under Section 901 of the Original
Indenture.
	 
	 	14.	 	Defaults and Remedies. (a) This Note shall be subject to the following Events
of Default: (i) the failure to pay the principal of the Notes when such principal
becomes due and payable, whether at Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (ii) the
failure to pay interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the
Default continues for a continuous period of 30 days; (iii) a Default by NNC, the
Issuer, or during any period in which NNI is a Guarantor, NNI, in the performance or
observance of any of their respective covenants, agreements or other obligations set

such Guarantor receives written notice specifying the Default (and demanding that such
Default be remedied) from the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal
amount of the Notes (including any Additional Debt Securities); (iv) a decree, judgment
or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered
adjudging the Issuer or any Guarantor a bankrupt or insolvent or approving as properly

applicable law and such decree, judgment or order of a court having jurisdiction in
the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee
in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, of
a substantial part of its property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have remained in force for a period of 60 consecutive days; or any
substantial part of the property of the Issuer or such Guarantor shall be
sequestered or attached and shall not be returned to the possession of the Issuer or
such Guarantor or released from such attachment whether by filing of a bond, or stay
or otherwise within 60 consecutive days thereafter; (v) the Issuer or any Guarantor
shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent
to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or
similar relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar applicable law or
the Issuer or such Guarantor shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or
shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee
in bankruptcy or insolvency for it or of a substantial part of its property, or
shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall be unable, or admit
in writing its inability, to pay its debts generally as they become due, or
corporate action shall be taken by the Issuer or such Guarantor in furtherance of
any of the aforesaid actions; (vi) a Default by NNC, the Issuer or, during any
period in which NNI is a Guarantor, NNI, under a single obligation in respect of
Funded Debt that exceeds on its face $100,000,000 in principal amount which results
in such Funded Debt becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise become due and payable and such acceleration shall not be
rescinded or annulled within 10 days after written notice (i) specifying such
Default, and (ii) stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall
have been given to such defaulting entity by Holders of at least 25% of the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes; (vii) any Guarantee ceases to be in full
force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the Original Indenture)
or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee; (viii) a
failure by the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer; and (ix) one or more
judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $100,000,000 shall have been rendered
against the Issuer, NNC or, during any period in which NNI is Guarantor, NNI, and

respective terms or unstayed for a period of 90 days after such judgment or
judgments become final and non-appealable.






	 	(b)	 	If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
(including any Additional Debt Securities) may declare the principal amount of,
premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional
Interest, if any, on all the Notes (including any Additional Debt Securities)

Guarantors, and to the Trustee if given by the Holders, and upon any such
declaration such principal




A-16









 






	 	 	 	amount, together with accrued interest thereon shall become immediately due
and payable.






	 	(c)	 	Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes
except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the
Indenture or the Notes unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default
or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of
principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.






	 	15.	 	Defeasance. The Issuer and/or the Guarantors may defease and be discharged
from any and all obligations with respect to this Note or the Guarantees, as

     This certificate relates to U.S. $                     principal amount of Debt Securities, which are
evidenced by the following certificate(s) (the “Specified Debt Securities”):

certifies that either (i) it is the sole beneficial owner of the Specified Debt Securities or (ii)
it is acting on behalf of all the beneficial owners of the Specified Debt Securities and is duly

held through the Depositary or a Participant in the name of the Undersigned, as or on behalf of the

registered in the name of the Undersigned, as or on behalf of the Owner.



     The Owner has requested that the Specified Debt Securities be transferred to a Person (the
“Transferee”) who will take delivery in the form of a Regulation S Debt Security. In connection

Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor or any such distributor or a Person
acting on behalf of any of the foregoing;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the offer of the Specified Debt Securities was not made to a
Person in the United States;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	either:






	 	(1)	 	at the time the buy order was originated, the
Transferee was outside the United States or the Owner and any Person
acting on its behalf reasonably believed that the Transferee was
outside the United States, or
	 
	 	(2)	 	the transaction is being executed in, on or
through the facilities of the Eurobond market, as regulated by the
Association of International Bond Dealers, or another designated
offshore securities market and neither the Owner nor any Person acting
on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a
buyer in the United States;






	 	(iv)	 	no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States
by or on behalf of the Owner or any Affiliate thereof;
	 
	 	(v)	 	if the Owner is a dealer in securities or has received a
selling concession, fee or other remuneration in respect of the Specified Debt
Securities, and the transfer is to occur during the Restricted Period, then the
requirements of Rule 904(c)(1) have been satisfied; and
	 
	 	(vi)	 	the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.





     (b) Rule 144 Transfers. If the transfer is being effected pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer
is occurring after a holding period of at least six months (computed in accordance with paragraph
(d) of Rule 144) has elapsed since the Specified Debt Securities were last acquired from the
Company or a Guarantor or from an Affiliate of the Company or a Guarantor, whichever is later, the
Company or a Guarantor is, and has been for a period of at least 90 days immediately before such
transfer, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has
filed all required reports thereunder in accordance with Rule 144(c)(1) and the Owner is not, and
during the preceding three months, has not been, an Affiliate of the Company or Guarantor.
