such purpose, the Book-Entry Depositary shall, or if applicable, shall cause the
Note Custodian to, endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under the
provisions governing the Certificated Depositary Interests or Global Notes, as
the case may be, to take such action regarding the requested consent, waiver or
other action in respect of such Certificated Depositary Interest or Global Note,
as the case may be, in accordance with any instructions set forth in such
request. The Book-Entry Depositary and the Note Custodian shall not themselves
exercise any discretion in the granting of consents or waivers or the taking of
any other action in respect of the Certificated Depositary Interests, the
Book-Entry Interests or Global Notes.

SECTION 2.13 CHANGES AFFECTING THE GLOBAL NOTES.

          Upon any reclassification of the Global Notes or upon any merger or
consolidation or sale of substantially all the assets affecting the Issuer or to
which the Issuer is a party, any securities that shall be received by the
Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian in exchange for or in respect of a
Global Note shall be treated as a new Global Note or as part of the Global Note
under this Agreement and any corresponding Certificated Depositary Interest
shall thenceforth represent such Global Note, including such new securities so
received.

SECTION 2.14 REPORTS.

          The Book-Entry Depositary and the Note Custodian will as soon as
practicable (and in no event later than 10 days from receipt) send to the
Depositaries a copy of any notices, reports and other communications received
relating to the Issuer, the Global Notes or the Book-Entry Interests.

SECTION 2.15 ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS.

          At least 10 days prior to the first date on which payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes is to be made, and at least
10 days prior to any subsequent such date if there has been any change with
respect to the matters set forth in the Officers' Certificate described in
Section 4.20 of the Indenture, the Issuer will furnish the Book-Entry Depositary
with an Officers' Certificate specifying whether such payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and under the Subsidiary Guarantee
shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes
and the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments and the amount,
if any, of additional amounts payable, net of amounts to which the Depositaries
or owner of Book-Entry Interests is not entitled. The Book-Entry Depositary
shall have no responsibility for determining whether a Depositary or any owner
of a Book-Entry Interest is entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts, but
shall be entitled to rely conclusively for this purpose on the Officers'
Certificate or on certifications from any Depositary. The Issuer shall, prior to
the date on which the Book-Entry Depositary is required to make such payment,
pay to the Book-Entry Depositary amounts equal to any Additional Amounts payable
on such date by the Book-Entry Depositary under this Agreement. The Issuer shall
indemnify the Book-Entry Depositary for, and hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on
their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by it
in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished to them pursuant to this
Section 2.15 or failure to furnish any such Officers' Certificate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided above, the Book-Entry
Depositary shall pay or cause to be paid Additional Amounts only out of funds
that shall be received by it from the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantor for
that purpose.

          The Issuer agrees:

          (a)  to pay to the Book-Entry Depositary and the Note Custodian from
     time to time such compensation as agreed between the Issuer and them in
     writing for all services tendered by the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note

SECTION 3.06 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

          (a)  No resignation or removal of the Book-Entry Depositary or the
Note Custodian and no appointment of a successor Book-Entry Depositary or a
successor Note Custodian pursuant to this Article Three shall become effective
until (i) the acceptance of appointment by the successor Book-Entry Depositary
or the successor Note Custodian, as the case may be, in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 3.07 hereof or (ii) the issuance of
Definitive Notes in accordance with Sections 2.05 and 2.08 hereof.

          (b)  The Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian may resign with
respect to the Global Notes by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer and

Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian may be removed at any time upon 90
days' notice by the filing with it and the Trustee of an instrument in writing
signed on behalf of the Issuer and specifying such removal and the date when it
is intended to become effective. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Book-Entry Depositary required by Section 3.08 hereof shall not have been
delivered to the Book-Entry Depositary within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Book-Entry Depositary or the resigning Note

Book-Entry Depositary may terminate this Agreement.

          (c)  If at any time:

          (1)  the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian shall cease to be
     eligible under Section 3.05 hereof, and shall fail to resign after written
     request therefor by the Issuer or by any Depositary; or

     incapable of acting with respect to the Certificated Depositary Interests
     or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator
     of the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian or of their respective
     property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
     control of the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian or of their
     respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
     conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer, by Board Resolution, may immediately
remove the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian and appoint a successor
Book-Entry Depositary or a successor Note Custodian or (ii) any Depositary, the
Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian may, on behalf of itself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian and the appointment
of a successor Book-Entry Depositary or a successor Note Custodian unless the
Definitive Notes have been issued in accordance with the Indenture. Such court
may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
remove the Book-Entry Depositary

                                       14

or the Note Custodian and appoint a successor Book-Entry Depositary or a
successor Note Custodian.

          (d)  If the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian shall resign,
be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the
office of the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian for any cause, the
Issuer, by Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Book-Entry
Depositary or a successor Note Custodian (other than the Issuer) for the
Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 3.07 hereof. If no successor Book-Entry Depositary or
successor Note Custodian with respect to the Global Notes shall have been so
appointed by the Issuer and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 3.07, any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Book-Entry Depositary or a successor Note Custodian unless Definitive
Notes have been issued in accordance with the Indenture.

          (e)  The Issuer shall give, or shall cause such successor Book-Entry
Depositary or successor Note Custodian to give, notice of each resignation and
each removal of a Book-Entry Depositary or a Note Custodian and each appointment
of a successor Book-Entry Depositary or a successor Note Custodian to the
applicable Holder in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof. Each notice shall
include the name of the successor Book-Entry Depositary or the successor Note
Custodian, as the case may be, and the address of its corporate trust office.

SECTION 3.07 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

          (a)  In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Book-Entry
Depositary or a successor Note Custodian, every such successor Book-Entry
Depositary or successor Note Custodian so appointed shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Issuer and to the retiring Book-Entry Depositary or the
retiring Note Custodian an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Book-Entry Depositary or the retiring
Note Custodian shall become effective and such successor Book-Entry Depositary
or such successor Note Custodian, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, agencies and duties of the
retiring Book-Entry Depositary or the retiring Note Custodian, with like effect
as if originally named as the Book-Entry Depositary hereunder or the Note
Custodian hereunder but, on the request of the Issuer or a successor Book-Entry
Depositary or a successor Note Custodian, the retiring Book-Entry Depositary or
the retiring Note Custodian shall, upon payment of all amounts due and payable
to it pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to the successor Book-Entry Depositary or the successor Note
Custodian, as the case may be, all the rights and powers of the retiring
Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to the successor Book-Entry Depositary or the successor Note Custodian
all property and money held by the retiring Book-Entry Depositary hereunder or
the retiring Note Custodian hereunder and shall deliver the Global Notes to the
successor.

          (b)  Upon request of any such successor Book-entry Depositary or the
successor Note Custodian, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for
more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to the successor Book-Entry
Depositary or the successor

                                       15

referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.07.

under this Article Three.

          (d)  Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor Book-Entry
Depositary or successor Note Custodian as provided in this Section 3.07, the
Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Depositaries in accordance with Section
4.02 hereof. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous
with the resignation of the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian, then
the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice
called for the Section 3.06 hereof. If the Issuer fails to give such notice
within 15 days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Book-Entry
Depositary or a successor Note Custodian, the successor Book-Entry Depositary or
the successor Note Custodian shall promptly cause such notice to be given at the
expense of the Issuer.

SECTION 3.08 MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.

          Any  corporation into which the Book-Entry Depositary or the Note
Custodian 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 Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the agency business of the
Book-Entry Depositary or the Note Custodian, shall be the successor of the
Book-Entry Depositary hereunder or the Custodian hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under
this Article Three.

SECTION 4.02 NOTICE TO DEPOSITARY AND OWNERS; WAIVER.

          Where this Agreement provides for notice to a Depositary or owners of
Book-Entry Interests of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided), if in writing and sent by
facsimile transmission or personally delivered, couriered or mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to the Depositary at the address notified to the Book-Entry
Depositary, in each case not later than the latest date, and not earlier that
the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Where this
Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by the Depositary shall be filed with the Book-Entry Depositary, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. So long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange and the rules of that stock exchange so require, notices shall be
also published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg
(which is expected to be the LUXEMBURGER WORT) and such notice shall be deemed
to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than
once on different dates, on the first date on which publication is made.

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

SECTION 4.04 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and
instruments, as may be necessary to continue such appointment of National
Registered Agents, Inc. in full force and effect so long as this Agreement shall
be in full force and effect and so long as any Global Note shall be outstanding.

          To the extent that the Issuer has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether
