 THE NOTES 
 Section 2.01 Form and Dating 
 (a) Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of a 144A Global Note, duly
executed by the Issuer, and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Global Note, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated
by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Each Global Note shall represent such aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, by the Registrar or the Principal Paying Agent to
reflect exchanges, repurchases, redemptions and transfers of interests therein, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and
provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 Ownership of interests in the Global Notes will be limited to Participants and Indirect Participants. Book-Entry Interests in the Global
Notes will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained in book-entry form by the Depositary and its Participants. The Applicable Procedures shall be applicable to Book-Entry Interests in Global Notes.

  

 39 








 Except as set forth in Section 2.07(a), the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole
and not in part, only to a nominee or a successor of the Depositary. 
 (b) Definitive Registered Notes. Definitive
Registered Notes issued upon transfer of a Book-Entry Interest or a Definitive Registered Note, or in exchange for a Book-Entry Interest or a Definitive Registered Note, shall be issued in accordance with this Indenture. 
 (c) Book-Entry Provisions. Neither Participants nor Indirect Participants shall have any rights either under this Indenture or under
any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 
 (d) Note Forms. The Global Notes and the Definitive Registered Notes shall be issuable only in registered form, substantially in the
forms set forth as Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto, respectively. The Notes shall be issued without coupons and only in denominations of at least €50,000 and in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (e) Additional Notes. Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 4.09, from time to time after the Issue Date the Issuer
may issue Additional Notes under this Indenture. Any Additional Notes issued as provided for herein will be treated as a single class and as part of the same series as the Initial Notes for all purposes (including voting) under this Indenture.

 (f) Dating. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication 
 At least one Officer of the Issuer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated or at any time thereafter, the Note will nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Authenticating Agent. The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Notes on the Issue
Date in an aggregate principal amount of €665,000,000 upon receipt of an authentication order signed by at least one Officer of the Issuer directing the Authenticating Agent to authenticate the Notes and certifying that all conditions precedent
to the issuance of the Notes contained herein have been complied with (an “Authentication Order”). The Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Additional Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order relating thereto. Each Note
shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 The Trustee may authenticate Notes as the Issuer’s Authenticating Agent.
The Trustee may appoint an additional Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. Such Authenticating Agent shall have the same rights as the Trustee in any dealings hereunder with any of the Issuer’s
Affiliates. 
  

 40 








 Notes authenticated by an Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated hereunder by the Trustee, and every reference in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be subject to acceptance by the Issuer and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under, or licensed to do business pursuant to, the laws of the United States of America (including any State thereof or the District of Columbia) or a jurisdiction in the European Union and authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, subject to supervision or examination by governmental authorities, if applicable. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.02, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 2.02. 
 Any
corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 2.02, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee
and the Issuer. Each of the Trustee and the Issuer may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of the termination to that Authenticating Agent and the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.02, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent acceptable to the Issuer. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all of the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 2.02. 
 The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 2.02. 
 If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.02, the Notes may have endorsed thereon,
in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 
 “This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

			
	 [NAME OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT],

	 as Authenticating Agent

		
	 By:
	 	  

		 	Authorized Signatory”


 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent 
 The Issuer will maintain one or more paying agents (each, a “Paying Agent”) for the Notes in each of (i) the City of
London (the “Principal Paying Agent”), (ii) the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and (iii) Luxembourg, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted for
trading on the Euro MTF market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require. If, after the Issue

  

 41 








 
Date, the Principal Paying Agent becomes obliged to withhold or deduct tax in connection with any payment made by it in relation to the Notes, the Issuer will also maintain such office or agency
in another member state of the European Union (including any country which becomes a member state of the European Union after the Issue Date) that is not obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any
other Directive implementing the conclusions of the European Council of Economics and Finance Ministers (“ECOFIN”) meeting of November 26-27, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such
Directive. 
 The Issuer will also maintain a registrar (the “Registrar”) and one or more transfer agents. For
so long as the notes are admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and its rules so require, the Issuer will maintain a transfer agent in Luxembourg. The Registrar and the transfer agents will maintain a register (the
“Register”) reflecting ownership of Notes outstanding from time to time and will make payments on and facilitate transfers of Definitive Registered Notes on behalf of the Issuer. Each transfer agent shall perform the functions of a
transfer agent. 
 The parties hereto acknowledge that the Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, at One Canada
Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom, as the Principal Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent with respect to the Notes. The Issuer acknowledges that The Bank of New York Mellon has accepted such appointment. In addition, the Issuer has
appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A., at Aerogolf Centre, 1A, Hoehenhof, L-1736 Senningerberg Luxembourg, as the Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent and acknowledges that The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. has
accepted such appointment. Furthermore, the Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon as New York Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar and acknowledges that The Bank of New York Mellon has accepted such appointment. So long as The Bank
of New York Mellon and The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. serve in such capacities, Section 7.07 shall apply to them as if they were Trustee hereunder. 
 The Issuer may appoint one or more additional Paying Agents and the term “Paying Agent” shall include any such additional Paying Agent, as applicable. Upon notice to the Trustee, the
Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent and the Issuer may act as the Paying Agent; provided, however, that in no event may the Issuer act as Principal Paying Agent or appoint a Principal Paying Agent in any member
state of the European Union where the Principal Paying Agent would be obliged to withhold or deduct tax in connection with any payment made by it in relation to the Notes unless the Principal Paying Agent would be so obliged if it were located in
all other member states. 
 The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent appointed after the Issue
Date. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or a Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.07. 
 Any Notice to be given under this Indenture or under the Notes by the Trustee or the Issuer to the Holders shall be mailed by first-class
mail to each Holder of Notes at their address as it appears at the time of such mailing in the Register. 
 Section 2.04 Holders to Be
Treated as Owners; Payments of Interest 
 (a) Except as otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or required
by applicable law, the Issuer, the Paying Agents, the Registrar, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, any Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Trustee may deem and treat the Holder of a Note as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of the principal, premium or interest on such Note and for all other purposes (including voting and consents and enforcement of the Security Documents); and neither the Issuer, any Paying Agent, the Registrar, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, any Paying

  

 42 








 
Agent, the Registrar or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid, effective to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any Note. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or the Agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished to the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary, its nominees, the
Participants or any other person, the operation of customary practices of such persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder. 
 (c) A Holder of a Note at the close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date
notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Note subsequent to the Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment
Date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.13. The term “Regular Record Date” as used with respect to any Interest Payment Date for the Notes shall mean the date specified as such in
the Notes. 
 Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money 
 Each Paying Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money received by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts on the Notes
(whether such money has been paid to it by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Issuer and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money
held in trust by a Paying Agent need not be segregated (other than when the Issuer acts as a Paying Agent), except as required by law, and in no event shall any Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder. The
Issuer at any time may require each Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may, if such a Default has occurred and is continuing, require any Paying Agent to pay forthwith all
money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, the relevant Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 
 Section 2.06 Holder Lists 
 The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least
seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders. 

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange 
  

	 	(a)	Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. 

 (1) The Global Notes cannot be transferred to any Person other than to another nominee or Common Depositary or to a successor clearing agency or its nominee approved by the Issuer and the Trustee and in accordance with procedures of the
clearing systems. 
 (2) Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Registered Notes (A) if the Depositary
notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as a depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days;

  

 43 








 
(B) in whole, but not in part, if the Issuer or the Depositary so requests following an Event of Default; (C) in whole, but not in part, at any time if the Issuer in its sole discretion
determines that the Global Notes should be exchanged for Definitive Registered Notes; or (D) if the owner of a Book-Entry Interest requests such exchange in writing delivered through the Depositary following an Event of Default. Upon the
occurrence of any of the preceding events in clauses (A) through (C) above, the Issuer shall issue or cause to be issued Definitive Registered Notes in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. 
 (3) Global Notes may also be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.08 and Section 2.11. Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to Section 2.08 or Section 2.11, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may
not be exchanged for another Note (including a Definitive Registered Note), other than as provided in this Section 2.07(a). 
 (b) General Provisions Applicable to Transfers and Exchanges of the Notes. Transfers of Book-Entry Interests in the Global Notes (other than transfers of Book-Entry Interests in connection with which the transferor takes
delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in the same Global Note) shall require compliance with this Section 2.07(b), as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs of this Section 2.07, as applicable. 

 In connection with all transfers and exchanges of Book-Entry Interests (other than transfers of Book-Entry Interests in
connection with which the transferor takes delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in the same Global Note), the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent must receive: (i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect
Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to debit from the transferor a Book-Entry Interest in an amount equal to the Book-Entry Interest to be transferred or exchanged; (ii) a
written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a Book-Entry Interest in another Global Note in an amount
equal to the Book-Entry Interest to be transferred or exchanged; and (iii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participants’ accounts to be debited with such decrease and
credited with such increase, as applicable. 
 In connection with a transfer or exchange of a Book-Entry Interest for a
Definitive Registered Note, the Principal Paying Agent and the Registrar must receive: (i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the
Depositary to debit from the transferor a Book-Entry Interest in an amount equal to the Book-Entry Interest to be transferred or exchanged; (ii) a written order from a Participant directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive
Registered Note in an amount equal to the Book-Entry Interest to be transferred or exchanged; and (iii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Registered

written order directing the Depositary to credit the account of the transferee in an amount equal to the Book-Entry Interest to be transferred or exchanged and (ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing

 44 








 Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of Book-Entry
Interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture, the Principal Paying Agent or the Registrar, as specified in this Section 2.07, shall endorse the relevant Global Note(s) with any increase or decrease and instruct the Depositary to
reflect such increase or decrease in its systems. 
 (c) Transfer of Book-Entry Interests in a Regulation S Global Note to
Book-Entry Interests in a 144A Global Note. A Book-Entry Interest in a Regulation S Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in a 144A Global Note, only if the transfer complies
with the requirements of Section 2.07(b) above and the Trustee receives a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit C hereto, including the certification in item (1) thereof. 
 Upon the receipt of such certificate and the orders and instructions required by Section 2.07(b), the Trustee shall (i) instruct
the Common Depositary to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Global Notes to the Trustee for endorsement and upon receipt thereof, decrease Schedule A to such Regulation S Global Note and increase Schedule A to such 144A Global Note
by the principal amount of such transfer, and (ii) thereafter, return the Global Notes to the Common Depositary, together with all information regarding the Participant accounts to be credited and debited in connection with such transfer.

 (d) Transfer of Book-Entry Interests in a 144A Global Note to Book-Entry Interests in a Regulation S Global Note. A
Book-Entry Interest in a 144A Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in a Regulation S Global Note only if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.07(b) above
and the Trustee receives a certificate from the holder of such Book-Entry Interest in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof. 
 Upon receipt of such certificates and the orders and instructions required by Section 2.07(b), the Trustee shall (i) instruct the
Common Depositary to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Global Notes to the Trustee for endorsement and, upon receipt thereof, increase Schedule A to such Regulation S Global Note and decrease Schedule A to such 144A Global Note by
the principal amount of such transfer, and (ii) thereafter, return the Global Notes to the Common Depositary, together with all information regarding the Participant accounts to be credited and debited in connection with such transfer.

 (e) Transfer of Book-Entry Interests in Global Notes to Definitive Registered Notes. A holder of a Book-Entry Interest
in a Global Note may transfer such Book-Entry Interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Registered Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.07(a) and Section 2.07(b) above and:

 (1) in the case of a transfer by a holder of a Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note to a QIB in reliance on
Rule 144A, the Trustee shall have received a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; or 
 (2) in the case of a transfer by a holder of a Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note in reliance on Regulation S, the Trustee
shall have received a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof. 
 Upon receipt of such certificates and the orders and instructions required by Section 2.07(b), the Trustee shall (i) instruct the Common Depositary to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the
relevant Global Note to the Trustee for endorsement and upon receipt thereof, decrease Schedule A to the relevant Global Note by the principal amount of such transfer; (ii) thereafter, return the Global Note to the Common Depositary,

 45 








 
regarding the Participant accounts to be debited in connection with such transfer; and (iii) deliver to the Registrar the instructions received by it that contain information regarding the
Person in whose name Definitive Registered Notes shall be registered to effect such transfer. The Registrar shall cause all Definitive Registered Notes issued in connection with a transfer pursuant to this Section 2.07(e) to bear the Private

 The Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order from the Issuer in accordance with
Section 2.02, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, one or more Definitive Registered Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Book-Entry Interests so transferred and registered and in the names
set forth in the instructions received by the Registrar. 
 (f) Transfer of Definitive Registered Notes to Book-Entry
Interests in Global Notes. Any Holder of a Definitive Registered Note may transfer such Definitive Registered Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note only if: 
 (1) in the case of a transfer by a holder of Definitive Registered Note to a person who takes delivery thereof in the form of
a Book-Entry Interest in a Regulation S Global Note, the Registrar shall have received a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof;

unless the Issuer determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law: 
 “THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR OTHER SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED,

DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.” 
  

 48 








 (2) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form: 
 “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE COMMON DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE
GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED OR EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN

 (k) Cancellation. At such time as all Book-Entry Interests have been exchanged
for Definitive Registered Notes or all Global Notes have been redeemed or repurchased, the Global Notes shall be returned to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.12. 
 (l) General Provisions Relating to Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the
Issuer shall execute and the Authentication Agent shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Registered Notes upon the Issuer’s order in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02. 
 (1) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any taxes, duties or governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such taxes, duties or governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11, 4.10, 4.14 and
9.05). 
 (2) All Global Notes and Definitive Registered Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Registered
Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (3) The Issuer shall not be required to
register the transfer of or, to exchange, Definitive Registered Notes (A) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days before any Redemption Date and ending at the close of business on the Redemption Date; (B) for a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days immediately prior to the date fixed for selection of Notes to be redeemed in part, and ending at the close of business on the date on which such Notes are selected; (C) for a period
of 15 calendar days before any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date; or (D) which the Holder has tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Disposition Offer.

 (4) As soon as practicable after delivering any Global Note or Definitive Registered Note, the Registrar shall
supply to the Trustee and the Agents all relevant details of the Notes delivered.

 49 








 The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any actions or omissions of the Depositary.

 Section 2.08 Replacement Notes 
 (a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to a Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note,
the Issuer will issue and the Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s and/or the Authenticating Agent’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the
Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any Authenticating Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note
is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. 
 (b) The
provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Notes. 
 (c) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.09 Outstanding Notes

 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Authenticating Agent except for those canceled by it,
those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section
2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a).

 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to
it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under
Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue
interest. 
 A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section
2.08. 
 Section 2.10 Treasury Notes 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 
  

 50 








 Section 2.11 Temporary Notes 
 Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.12 Cancellation 
 The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The
Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment,
replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes. Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest 
 If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent
lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Issuer will 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. The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less
than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will mail
or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.14 ISIN or Common Code Number 
 The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use a “ISIN” or
“Common Code” number and, if so, such ISIN or Common Code number shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the ISIN or Common Code number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. 
 Section 2.15 Deposit of Moneys 
 Prior to 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date, the maturity date of the Notes, each Redemption Date and each payment date relating to an Asset Disposition Offer or a Change of Control Offer, and
on the Business Day immediately following any acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.02, the Issuer shall deposit with the Principal Paying Agent in immediately available funds money in euros sufficient to make cash payments, if any,
due on such Interest Payment Date, maturity date, Redemption Date, the payment date relating to an Asset Disposition or a Change of Control Offer, or Business Day, as the case may be. All such payments so made to the Principal

  

 51 








 
Paying Agent, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effective to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any Note. Subject to
receipt of such funds by such time, the Principal Paying Agent and each Paying Agent shall remit such payment in a timely manner to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, maturity date, Redemption Date, the payment date relating to an Asset
Disposition or a Change of Control Offer, or Business Day, as the case may be, to the Persons and in the manner set forth in paragraph 2 of the Notes. 
 ARTICLE 3. 
 REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee 
 If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption
Date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: 
 (1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the
redemption shall occur; 
 (2) the Redemption Date and the record date; 
 (3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; 
 (4) the redemption price; and 
 (5) the ISIN or Common Code numbers, as applicable. 
 Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to
Be Redeemed or Purchased 
 If less than all of the Notes may be, are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at
any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis except: 
 (1) if
the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, as provided to it by the Issuer; or 
 (2) if otherwise required by law. 
 In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the
Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion will deem to be fair and appropriate, although no Note of €50,000 in original principal
amount or less will be redeemed in part. The Trustee will not be liable for selections made by it in accordance with this paragraph. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note will state the portion of
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. 
 For Global Notes which are held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear
or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing. So long as any Notes are admitted to trading on the Euro MTF and listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules and
regulations of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, any such notice to the Holders of the relevant Notes shall also be published by the Issuer in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be
d’Wort). 
  

 52 








 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 3.07, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer will mail or
cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is
issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12. 
 The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 
  

	 	(1)	the Redemption Date and the record date; 

  

	 	(2)	the redemption price; 

  

	 	(3)	the ISIN and/or Common Code number(s), if any; 

  

	 	(4)	if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note,
a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

  

	 	(5)	the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

  

	 	(6)	that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

  

	 	(7)	that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;


  

	 	(8)	the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 

  

	 	(9)	that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN and/or Common Code, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.


 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at
its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be
stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption 
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on
the Redemption Date at the redemption price; provided, however, that a notice of redemption may be conditional except as otherwise set forth in this Article 3. 
 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price 
 One Business Day
prior to the Redemption Date or repurchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or repurchased on that
date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on,
all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 
  

 53 








 If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the
Redemption Date or repurchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or repurchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related
Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or repurchase is not so paid upon
surrender for redemption or repurchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date or repurchase date until such principal is paid, and to the
extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Repurchased in Part 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the
Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered;
provided that any Definitive Registered Note shall be in a principal amount of €50,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 above €50,000.

 Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable Redemption Date. 
 Any such redemption and
notice may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. 
 (d) At any time,
or from time to time, prior to December 1, 2012, the Issuer may, at its option, use the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (except for sales of Capital Stock of a Parent the proceeds of which are contributed as Subordinated

Mandatory Redemption Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on
such record date and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Issuer. 
 (d) For Global Notes which are held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid
mailing. So long as any Notes are admitted to trading on the Euro MTF and listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules and regulations of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, any such notice to the Holders of the
relevant Notes shall also be published by the Issuer in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be d’Wort). Notices of redemption made pursuant to this Section 3.08 may not be conditional.

 (e) The other provisions of this Article 3 (other than Section 3.04) do not apply to this Section 3.08. 

Section 3.09 Mandatory Redemption 
 The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes other than as described in Section 3.08. 
  

 56 








 Section 3.10 Redemption for Changes in Withholding Tax 
 The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the
Holders (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax 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), and Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption
or otherwise, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of: 
 (1) any change in, or amendment to, the law or
treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction affecting taxation; or 
 (2) any change in position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent
jurisdiction) (each of the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”), 
 the Issuer is, or on the next
interest payment date in respect of the Notes would be, required to pay more than de minimis Additional Amounts, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to it (including, without limitation, by appointing
a new or additional paying agent in another jurisdiction). The Change in Tax Law must become effective on or after the date of the Offering Memorandum. In the case of a successor to the Issuer, the Change in Tax Law must become effective after the
date that such entity first makes payment on the Notes. Notice of redemption for taxation reasons will be published in accordance with Section 3.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (a) earlier than 90
days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obliged to make such payment of Additional Amounts and (b) unless at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to the
publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth
a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to its right so to redeem have been satisfied and that it cannot avoid the obligations to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it; and (b) an opinion of an
independent tax counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the circumstances referred to above exist. The Trustee will accept such Officers’ Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the existence of satisfaction
of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. 
 The
foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor to the Issuer after such successor person becomes a party to this Indenture. 
 Section 3.11 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds 
 In the event that, pursuant to Section
4.10, the Issuer is required to make an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Disposition Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Disposition Offer shall be made to all Holders of Notes and to the extent required by the terms of other Indebtedness of the
Issuer or any Guarantor that does not constitute Subordinated Obligations, to all holders of such other Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Issuer or such Guarantor to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the
proceeds from any Asset Disposition (“Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Other

  

 57 








 
Asset Disposition Indebtedness to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.11 or the agreements governing the Other Asset Disposition
Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in a principal amount of €50,000 and in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness so validly tendered
and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the terms of this Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and Other Asset Disposition
Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness. For the purposes of calculating the principal amount of any such Indebtedness not
denominated in euro, such Indebtedness shall be calculated by converting any such principal amounts into their Euro Equivalent determined as of a date selected by the Issuer that is within the Asset Disposition Offer Period. Upon completion of such
Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 The Asset Disposition Offer, insofar as it
relates to the Notes, will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five
Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the Issuer will purchase the principal amount of Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness required to be
purchased pursuant to this covenant (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness validly tendered in
response to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 To the extent that any portion of Net Available Cash payable in respect of the Notes
is denominated in a currency other than the currency in which the relevant Notes are denominated, the amount thereof payable in respect of such Notes shall not exceed the net amount of funds in the currency in which such Notes are denominated that
is actually received by the Issuer upon converting such portion into such currency. 
 If the Asset Disposition Purchase Date is
on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional
interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 Upon the commencement of an
Asset Disposition Offer, the Issuer will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes
pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Disposition Offer, will state: 
  

	 	(1)	that the Asset Disposition Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.11 and Section 4.10 and the length of time the Asset Disposition Offer will remain
open; 

  

	 	(2)	the Asset Disposition Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Asset Disposition Purchase Date; 

  

 58 









	 	(3)	that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; 

  

	 	(4)	that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer will cease to accrue interest after the
Asset Disposition Purchase Date; 

  

	 	(5)	that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of €50,000 and in integral
multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof; 

  

	 	(6)	that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Disposition Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of
Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the
Asset Disposition Purchase Date; 

  

	 	(7)	that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration
of the Asset Disposition Offer Period, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have
such Note purchased; 

  

	 	(8)	that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Asset Disposition Offer Amount, the
Issuer will select the Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed
appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of €50,000 and in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof); and 

  

	 	(9)	that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or
transferred by book-entry transfer). 

 On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the
extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness or portions of Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness so validly
tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness so validly
tendered and not properly withdrawn, in each case in a principal amount of €50,000 and in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or
portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.11. The Issuer or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after termination of the
Asset Disposition Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder of Notes or holder or lender of Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes or Other Asset Disposition
Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Officers’
Certificate from the Issuer will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such

  

 59 








 
new Note will be in a principal amount of €50,000 and in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, the Issuer will take any and all other actions required by the
agreements governing the Other Asset Disposition Indebtedness. Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on the
Asset Disposition Purchase Date. 
 The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws or regulations to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.11 or Section 4.10, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by
virtue of any conflict. 
 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.11, any purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.11 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

however, that no amount will be included under this clause (iv) to the extent it is already included in Consolidated Net Income.

case, is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 and that in each case constitutes Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement will be excluded
in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments;

 (1) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, including, without limitation, this Indenture, the Senior Secured Indenture, the Intercreditor

clause (3) or contained in any amendment, supplement or other modification to an agreement referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 4.08(b) or this clause (3); provided, however, that the encumbrances and
restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement are no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in such agreements referred to in
clauses (1) or (2) of this Section 4.08(b) (as determined in good faith by the Issuer); 
 (4) in
the case of Section 4.08(a)(3), any encumbrance or restriction:

closing of such sale or disposition; 
 (8) customary provisions in leases, joint venture agreements and other
agreements and instruments entered into by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business; 
 (9) encumbrances or restrictions arising or existing by reason of applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order, or required by any regulatory authority; 
 (10) any encumbrance or restriction on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under agreements entered into
in the ordinary course of business; 
  

 69 








 (11) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to Currency Agreements or
Interest Rate Agreements; and 
 (12) any encumbrance or restriction arising pursuant to an agreement or
instrument relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.09 if (a) the encumbrances and restrictions taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the
Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Intercreditor Agreement, in each case, as in effect on the Issue Date or on the date of completion of the Debt Pushdown (as determined in
good faith by the Issuer) or (b) such encumbrances and restrictions taken as a whole are not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) and,
in each case, either (x) the Issuer reasonably believes that such encumbrances and restrictions will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes as and when they come due or (y) such
encumbrances and restrictions apply only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness. 
 Section 4.09 Limitation on Indebtedness 
 (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that: 
 (1) any Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if on the date of such Incurrence and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the Restricted Subsidiaries would not
exceed 4.00 to 1.00; and 
 (2) the Issuer may Incur Pari Passu Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness
constituting Pari Passu Indebtedness) if on the date of such Incurrence and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would not exceed 5.00 to 1.00. 
 (b) Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the Incurrence of the following Indebtedness: 
 (1) Indebtedness of the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under Credit Facilities in the aggregate principal

however, that: 
 (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event which results
in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity) of the Issuer; and 
 (B) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (other
than a Receivables Entity) of the Issuer, 
 shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by
the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; provided, further, that, if a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor

  

 70 








 
owns or holds such Indebtedness and the Issuer or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all
obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Notes or such Guarantor with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be; 
 (3) (a) Indebtedness of the Issuer represented by the Notes (other than any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date), (b) Indebtedness of the Guarantors represented by the Subsidiary
Guarantees, (c) Indebtedness of the Restricted Subsidiaries represented by the Senior Secured Notes issued on the Issue Date and the guarantees of the Senior Secured Notes and (d) Indebtedness represented by the Security Documents,

in full upon completion of the Debt Pushdown; 
 (5) any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any
Indebtedness described in clauses (3), (4), (5), (6), (8) or (15) of this Section 4.09(b) or Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a); 
 (6) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Issuer (other than Indebtedness Incurred (a) to provide all or
any portion of the funds utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Issuer or (b) otherwise in connection
with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition); provided, however, that immediately following the consummation of the acquisition of such Restricted Subsidiary by the Issuer, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Issuer would not be greater
than immediately prior to such acquisition; 
 (7) Indebtedness under Currency Agreements and Interest Rate
Agreements; provided, that in the case of Currency Agreements, such Currency Agreements are related to business transactions of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business or in the case of Currency
Agreements and Interest Rate Agreements, such Currency Agreements and Interest Rate Agreements are entered into for bona fide hedging purposes of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or
senior management of the Issuer) and substantially correspond in terms of notional amount, currencies and interest rates, as applicable, to Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (8) Indebtedness represented by Capitalized Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations with respect
to assets other than Capital Stock or other Investments, in each case Incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvements of property used in the business of the Issuer or such

of business; 
  

 71 








 (10) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary providing for indemnification, obligations in respect of earnouts or adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Capital Stock of a

Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; 
 (11) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a
bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided, however, that such Indebtedness is
extinguished within five Business Days of Incurrence; 
 (12) guarantees by the Issuer or any Guarantor of
Indebtedness or any other obligation or liability of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than of any Indebtedness Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary in violation of this Section 4.09); provided, however, that if the
Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, then such guarantee shall be subordinated substantially to the same extent as the relevant Indebtedness guaranteed; 
 (13) Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in any Qualified Receivables Transaction; 
 (14) Subordinated Shareholder Loans Incurred by the Issuer; 
 (15) any Indebtedness of the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred after the Issue Date and before the Acquisition
Date to the extent such Indebtedness is permitted under the Share Purchase Agreement in effect as of the Issue Date; provided that such Indebtedness could not have been Incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or another clause of
this second paragraph of this covenant had this covenant been in effect as of the Issue Date; and 
 (16) in
addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (15) of this Section 4.09(b), Indebtedness of the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the
principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (16) and then outstanding, will not exceed €50.0 million at any time outstanding. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to
and in compliance with, this Section 4.09: 
 (1) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more
than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and Section 4.09(b), the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify and, from time to time, may reclassify such Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this
Section 4.09 and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been Incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses of Section 4.09(b) or pursuant to Section 4.09(a); 
  

 72 








 (2) any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may only be Incurred
under Section 4.09(b)(1) and not Section 4.09(a) or Section 4.09(b)(4) and may not be reclassified; 
 (3) guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; 
 (4) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility and are being treated as
Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(1) and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included; 
 (5) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Issuer, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not
including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof; 
 (6)
Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this
Section 4.09 permitting such Indebtedness; and 
 (7) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is
less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with IFRS. 
 Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of
Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and increases in the amount of Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. The amount of any Indebtedness
outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that
is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness. 
 In addition, the Issuer will not permit any of its
Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock, other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be
deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall be in Default of this Section 4.09). 
 For purposes of determining compliance with any euro-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the Euro Equivalent
principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the
case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that (1) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable euro-dominated restriction to be
exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such euro-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does
not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced and (2) if and for so long as any such Indebtedness is subject to an agreement intended to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates with respect to the
currency in which such

  

 73 








 
Indebtedness is denominated covering principal and interest on such Indebtedness, the swapped rate of such Indebtedness as of the date of the applicable swap. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount
of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing
Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 Section 4.10 Limitation on Sales of Assets and
Subsidiary Stock 
 (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset
Disposition unless: 
 (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration
(including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to
such Asset Disposition), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition; 
 (2) unless the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition
(excluding any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than Indebtedness) received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is
in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and 
 (3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such
Asset Disposition is applied by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be: 
 (A) to the
extent the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness), to prepay, repay or purchase Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer (including the Notes) or any Guarantor or Indebtedness of a
Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash;
provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Bank Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (a), the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Bank Indebtedness and will cause the related
commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; or 
 (B) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects to invest in or commit to invest in Additional Assets within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt
of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that any such reinvestment in Additional Assets made pursuant to a definitive agreement or a commitment approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer that is executed or approved within such time
will satisfy this requirement, so long as such investment is consummated within 6 months of such 365th day; 
  

 74 








 provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause
(A) or clause (B) of this Section 4.10(a)(3), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (b) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested or committed to be applied as provided in
Section 4.10(a) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”. On the 366th day after an Asset Disposition, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds €50.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an
Asset Disposition Offer in accordance with Section 3.11. 
 For the purposes of this Section 4.10, the following will
be deemed to be cash: 
 (1) the assumption by the transferee of Indebtedness (other than Subordinated
Obligations) of the Issuer or any Guarantor or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor and the release of the Issuer, such Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with
such Asset Disposition (in which case the Issuer will, without further action, be deemed to have applied such deemed cash to Indebtedness in accordance with Section 4.10(a)(3))(A); 
 (2) securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer from the
transferee that are promptly converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents; 
 (3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Issuer and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of
the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; and 
 (4) consideration
consisting of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (c) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable,
with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of any conflict. 
 Section 4.11 Limitation on Affiliate Transactions 
 (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any
property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of €5.0 million for such Affiliate Transactions in any fiscal year,
unless: 
 (1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to the
Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; 
 (2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of €10.0 million, the
terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer; and 
  

 75 








 (3) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate
consideration in excess of €30.0 million, the Issuer has received a written opinion from an independent investment banking, accounting or appraisal firm of internationally recognized standing (as determined by the Issuer in good faith, who
shall deliver a copy of the same to the Trustee) that such Affiliate Transaction either is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have
been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate. 
 (b) Section 4.11(a) will not apply to: 
 (1) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant

 (3) loans or advances to employees, officers or directors in the ordinary course of business of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries but in any event not to exceed €10.0 million in

 (4)
any transaction between or among the Issuer and a Restricted Subsidiary or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries and any guarantees issued by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the
case may be, in accordance with Section 4.09; 
 (5) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or

determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management of the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, or are on terms no less favorable than those that could reasonably have been obtained at such time
from an unaffiliated party; 
 (6) any transaction in the ordinary course of business between the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Issuer controlled by the Issuer that is a joint venture or similar entity; provided, any transaction described in this clause (6) will both:

permitted to the extent that its terms are not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than the terms of the agreements in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (9) sales or other transfers or dispositions of accounts receivable and other related assets customarily transferred in an
asset securitization transaction involving accounts receivable to a Receivables Entity in a Qualified Receivables Transaction, and acquisitions of Permitted Investments in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction;

including without limitation in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a majority of Disinterested Directors; 
 (13) guarantees issued in accordance with Section 4.09; and 
 (14) if otherwise permitted under this Indenture, the issuance of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) or Subordinated Shareholder Loans (including the payment of cash interest thereon; provided that, after giving pro
forma effect to any such cash interest payment, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would not exceed 5.00 to 1.00) of the Issuer to any direct Parent of the Issuer or any Permitted Holder for cash or

(a) are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and are on terms not materially less favorable to the Issuer

  

 77 








 
and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that could have reasonably been obtained in respect of an analogous transaction or agreement that would not constitute an Affiliate Transaction (in each
case, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management of the Issuer), (b) the performance by the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of any such arrangements are for its own
behalf and in its own name and (c) the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries do not assume, and are otherwise not liable for any performance or breach in respect of, any such arrangements by the relevant Affiliate. 
 Section 4.12 Limitation on Liens 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or
assets (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer), whether owned on the date of this Indenture or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness (such Lien, the “Initial Lien”), unless
contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Initial Lien effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under this Indenture and the Notes or, in respect of Liens on any Guarantor’s property or assets, such Guarantor’s
Subsidiary Guarantee, equally and ratably with (or (a) on a junior priority basis if such Indebtedness is Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor or (b) prior to, in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Obligations of a Guarantor, as
the case may be) the Indebtedness secured by such Initial Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured. 
 Any such Lien
thereby created in favor of the Notes will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the release and discharge of the Initial Lien to which it relates, (ii) any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person other
than the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien, (iii) the full and final payment of all amounts payable by the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture, or (iv) the defeasance or
discharge of the Notes in accordance with Article 8. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not, and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien on any Collateral (other than Permitted Collateral Liens). 
 Section 4.13 Corporate Existence 
 Subject to Article 5, the Issuer
shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 
  

	 	(1)	its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as
the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any such Subsidiary; and 

  

	 	(2)	the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to
preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business
of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

 Section 4.14 Change of Control 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control at any time after consummation of the Acquisition and the Debt Pushdown, the Issuer shall, pursuant to the procedures

  

 78 








 
described in this Section 4.14, offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to purchase all Notes in whole or in part in denominations of €50,000 and in integral multiples of
€1,000 in excess thereof, at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus any Additional Amounts and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”) (subject to the rights of Holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an interest payment date); provided, however, that the
Issuer shall not be obliged to repurchase Notes as described in this Section 4.14 in the event and to the extent that they have unconditionally exercised their right to redeem all the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 or all conditions to
such redemption have been satisfied or waived. No such purchase in part shall reduce the principal amount at maturity of the Notes held by any Holder to below €50,000. 
 Unless, the Issuer has unconditionally exercised its right to redeem all the Notes as described under Section 3.07 or all conditions to
such redemption have been satisfied or waived, within 30 days of any Change of Control, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee thereof and give written notice of such Change of Control to each Holder of Notes by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at
such Holder’s address appearing in the security register, stating, among other things: 
 (1) that a Change
of Control has occurred and the date of such event; 
 (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such
Change of Control (including, but not limited to, applicable information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization after giving effect to the Change of Control); 
 (3) the purchase price and the purchase date which shall be fixed by the Issuer on a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor
later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements under the Exchange Act; 
 (4) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest and unless the Issuer default in payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date; and 
 (5) certain other
procedures that a Holder of Notes must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw such acceptance. 
 The Issuer
shall cause to be published in a leading newspaper having a general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times) or through the newswire service of Bloomberg (or if Bloomberg does not then operate, any similar agency)
and, so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the guidelines of such stock exchange so require, in Luxembourg, the notice described above. 
 If and for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted for trading on the Euro MTF and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the
Issuer will publish notices relating to the Change of Control Offer in a newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be d’Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notices
on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. 
 The Issuer will comply with the applicable tender offer rules,
including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 4.14

  

 79 








 
(other than the obligation to make an offer pursuant to this covenant), the Issuer will comply with the securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
described in this Section 4.14 by virtue thereof. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the
extent lawful: 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent, prior to 10:00a.m. London time an amount equal to the
Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3)
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 
 The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Purchase Date) to each Holder of
Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Notes, and the Authenticating Agent will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

 Section 4.15 Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries 
 (a) No Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) shall guarantee or otherwise become obligated under any Indebtedness under the
Revolving Credit Facility, the Senior Secured Notes, the Senior Secured Indenture or any other Designated Senior Indebtedness or guarantee any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor in an amount in excess of €5.0 million unless
such Restricted Subsidiary is or becomes an Additional Guarantor on the date on which such other guarantee or Indebtedness is Incurred (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) and, if applicable, executes and delivers to the Trustee a
supplemental Indenture in the form set forth in Exhibit E hereto pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will provide an Additional Subsidiary Guarantee (which Additional Subsidiary Guarantee shall be subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of such
Additional Guarantor and senior to or pari passu with such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee of such other Indebtedness); provided that: 
 (1) if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Significant Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary shall only be obligated to become an Additional Guarantor if such Indebtedness is Indebtedness of the Issuer
or Public Debt of a Guarantor or if such Restricted Subsidiary is a direct or indirect holder of any Capital Stock of Unitymedia Hessen; 
  

 80 








 (2) an Additional Guarantor’s Additional Subsidiary Guarantee may be
limited in amount to the extent required by fraudulent conveyance, thin capitalization, corporate benefit, financial assistance or other similar laws (but, in such a case (A) each of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will use their
reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal limit and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant limit and (B) the
relevant guarantee shall be given on an equal and ratable basis with the guarantee of any other Indebtedness giving rise to the obligation to guarantee the Notes); and 
 (3) for so long as it is not permissible under applicable law for a Restricted Subsidiary to become an Additional Guarantor,
such Restricted Subsidiary need not become an Additional Guarantor (but, in such a case, each of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal prohibition precluding the giving of
the guarantee and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant legal prohibition, and shall give such guarantee at such time (and to the
extent) that it thereafter becomes permissible). 
 (b) Section 4.15(a) shall not apply to: (1) the granting by such
Restricted Subsidiary of a Permitted Lien under circumstances which do not otherwise constitute the guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer; or (2) the guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness that refinances Indebtedness which
benefited from a guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred in compliance with this covenant immediately prior to such refinancing. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any guarantee of the Notes created pursuant to the provisions described in Section 4.15(a) shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged upon: 
 (1) upon the sale of all or substantially all the Capital Stock
of the relevant Guarantor pursuant to an Enforcement Sale as provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement; 
 (2)
upon the sale or other disposition (including through merger or consolidation but other than pursuant to an Enforcement Sale) in compliance with this Indenture of the Capital Stock of the relevant Guarantor (whether directly or through the
disposition of a parent thereof), following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a sale or other disposition to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); 
 (3) the defeasance or discharge of the Notes as provided Article 8 and Article 12, in each case in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Indenture; or 
 (4) with respect to an Additional Subsidiary Guarantee given under
Section 4.15, upon release of the guarantee that gave rise to the requirement to issue such Additional Subsidiary Guarantee so long as no Event of Default would arise as a result and no other Indebtedness that would give rise to an obligation to
give an Additional Subsidiary Guarantee is at that time guaranteed by the relevant Guarantor. 
  

 81 








 (d) In addition, if a Guarantor is redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance
with Section 4.07, the relevant Guarantor will be released from all its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 (e)
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in all circumstances a Subsidiary Guarantee shall only be released if (a) the relevant Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with and (b) such Guarantor is released from its guarantees of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Senior Secured Notes. 
 Section 4.16 Payments for Consents 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Senior Notes Escrow Agreement or any Security Document unless such consideration is offered to be paid
and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
 Section 4.17 Impairment of Security Interests 
 Issuer shall not, and
shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take or omit to take any action that would have the result of materially impairing the Security Interest with respect to the Collateral (it being understood, subject to the proviso below, that the
Incurrence of Permitted Collateral Liens shall under no circumstances be deemed to materially impair the Security Interest with respect to the Collateral) for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, grant to any Person other than the Security Trustee, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders and the other beneficiaries described in the Security Documents, any interest whatsoever in any of the Collateral,
except that the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted Collateral Liens and the Collateral may be discharged and released in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement;
provided, however, that, except with respect to any discharge or release of Collateral in accordance with the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or in connection with the Incurrence of Liens for
the benefit of the Trustee and Holders or otherwise as described in the second to last paragraph under “Description of Certain Financing Arrangements — Intercreditor Agreement — Release of the Security and the Subsidiary
Guarantees” in the Offering Memorandum, no Security Document may be amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced, unless contemporaneously with any such action, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, either
(1) a solvency opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee from an Independent Financial Advisor confirming the solvency of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to any transactions
related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement, or (2) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming that, after giving effect to any
transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement, the Lien or Liens created under the Security Documents, as applicable, so amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented, modified
or replaced, are valid Liens not otherwise subject to any limitation, imperfection or new hardening period, in equity or at law, that such Lien or Liens were not otherwise subject to immediately prior to such amendment, extension, renewal,
restatement, supplement, modification or replacement. In the event that the Issuer complies with the requirements of this covenant, the Trustee shall (subject to customary protections and indemnifications from the Issuer) consent to such amendments
without the need for instructions from the Holders. 
  

 82 








 Section 4.18 Additional Amounts 
 All payments made by the Issuer or any successors thereto (a “Payor”) on the Notes will be made without withholding or deduction
for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law or by the official interpretation or
administration thereof. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of: 
  

	 	(1)	The Federal Republic of Germany or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having power to tax; 

  

	 	(2)	any jurisdiction from or through which payment on the Notes is made, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax;
or 

  

	 	(3)	any other jurisdiction in which a Payor is organized or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority
thereof or therein having the power to tax (each of clause (1), (2) and (3), a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), 

 will at any time be required from any payments made with respect to the Notes, including payments of principal, redemption price, interest or premium, the Payor will pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (the
“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each Holder of the Notes, as the case may be, after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding
from such Additional Amounts) equal the amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

  

	 	(a)	any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant Holder or beneficial owner and the Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes (other than the mere ownership or holding of such Note or enforcement of rights thereunder or under this Indenture or the receipt of payments in respect thereof); 

  

	 	(b)	any Taxes that would not have been so imposed if the Holder had made a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled
(provided that (x) such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required by the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from the requirement to deduct or withhold all or a
part of any such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required under the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction, the relevant Holder at that time has been notified (in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture) by the Payor or any other person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or
filing for exemption is required to be made); 

  

	 	(c)	any Note presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except
to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented during such 30-day period); 

  

 83 









	 	(d)	any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by withholding from a payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; 

  

	 	(e)	any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

  

	 	(f)	any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to an individual and required to be made pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive
implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or 

  

	 	(g)	any Taxes which could have been avoided by the presentation (where presentation is required) of the relevant Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the
European Union. 

 Such Additional Amounts will also not be payable where, had the beneficial owner of the Note
been the Holder of the Note, it would not have been entitled to payment of Additional Amounts by reason of any of clauses (a) to (g) inclusive of this Section 4.18. 
 The Payor will (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor will use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing
such Taxes and will provide such certified copies (or, if certified copies are not available despite reasonable efforts of the Payor, other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) to each Holder. The Payor will attach to each
certified copy (or other evidence) a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by the certified copy was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding and (y) the
amount of such withholding Taxes paid per €1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Copies of such documentation will be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the Holders of the Notes upon request
and will be made available at the offices of the Luxembourg Paying Agent if the Notes are then listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. 
 At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 30th day
prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly thereafter), if the Payor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Payor will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such
Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Each such Officers’ Certificate shall be relied
upon until receipt of a further Officers’ Certificate addressing such matters. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on each such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. 
 Wherever mentioned in this Indenture or the Notes, in any context: (1) the payment of principal, (2) purchase prices in connection
with a purchase of Notes, (3) interest, or (4) any other amount payable on or with respect to the Notes, such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this heading to the extent that, in such
context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 
  

 84 








 The Payor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other
excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of any Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein (other than a transfer of the Notes), or the
receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes, excluding any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, the Federal Republic of Germany or any jurisdiction in which a Paying Agent is
located, other than those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of the Notes, the Security or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

 The obligations of this Section 4.18 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will
apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein. 
 Section 4.19 Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status 
 If, during any period after the Issue Date, the Notes have achieved and continue to maintain Investment Grade Status and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such period hereinafter referred to as an “Investment Grade
Status Period”), then the provisions of Sections 3.11, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.14 and Section 5.01(a)(3) and any related default provisions of this Indenture will be suspended and will not, during such Investment Grade
Status Period, be applicable to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries. As a result, during any such Investment Grade Status Period, the Notes will lose the covenant protection initially provided under this Indenture. No action taken during an
Investment Grade Status Period or prior to an Investment Grade Status Period in compliance with the covenants then applicable will require reversal or constitute a default under the Notes in the event that suspended covenants are subsequently
reinstated or suspended, as the case may be. An Investment Grade Status Period will terminate immediately upon the failure of the Notes to maintain Investment Grade Status. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure of the
Notes to maintain Investment Grade Status. 
 Section 4.20 Further Instruments and Acts 
 Upon request of the Trustee, but without an affirmative duty on the Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall execute and deliver such further
instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 Section 4.21 Listing 
 The Issuer will use all reasonable efforts to have the Notes admitted to trading on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange within a reasonable period after the Issue Date and will maintain such listing as long as the Notes are outstanding; provided, however, that if the Issuer can no longer maintain such listing or it becomes unduly
burdensome to make or maintain such listing, the Issuer may cease to make or maintain such listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange provided that the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and maintain the listing of the Notes on
another recognized listing exchange for high yield issuers (which may be a stock exchange that is not regulated by the European Union). 
  

 85 








 Section 4.22 [Reserved] 
 Section 4.23 Additional Intercreditor Agreements 
 At the request of
the Issuer, in connection with the Incurrence by the Issuer or any Guarantor of any: 
 (a) Indebtedness permitted pursuant to
Section 4.09(a) or clause (1), (7) (in the case of clause (7), to the extent such Indebtedness is Incurred under an Interest Rate Agreement or Currency Agreement in respect of Indebtedness Incurred under any such other paragraph or clause
referred to in the preceding part of this clause (a)), or (16) of Section 4.09(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness is permitted Public Debt or Bank Indebtedness); and 
 (b) any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness referred to in the foregoing clause (a) (and, in each case, any such

 the Issuer, the relevant
Guarantors and the Trustee shall enter into with the Holders of such Indebtedness (or their duly authorized Representatives) an intercreditor agreement, including a restatement, amendment or other modification of an existing intercreditor agreement

subordination, payment blockage, limitation on enforcement and release of Guarantees, priority and release of the Security Interest or other terms which become customary for similar agreements; provided that only one Stop Notice can be given by
Designated Senior Indebtedness in any 365-day period or in respect of the same event or circumstances regardless of the number of Credit Facilities or other instruments constituting “Designated Senior Indebtedness” of a Guarantor or the
number of intercreditor agreements; provided further that in no event may the total number of days for which a Stop Notice is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 365-day period; provided, further, that such Additional
Intercreditor Agreement will not impose any personal obligations on the Trustee or adversely affect the personal rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement; provided, further, that
only Designated Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to instruct the Security Agent to enforce the Collateral or initiate a payment blockage.

may reasonably require (i) for perfecting or protecting the security intended to be afforded by any Security Documents relating to the Collateral; and (ii) if such Security Documents have become enforceable, for facilitating the exercise
of all powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Security Trustee or in any receiver of all or any part of the Collateral. Each Grantor shall, and shall procure that each of its respective Subsidiaries shall, execute all transfers,
conveyances, assignments and releases of that property whether to the Security Trustee or to its nominees and give all notices, orders and directions which the Security Trustee may reasonably request. 
 (e) In connection with the Debt Pushdown, the Issuer, Unitymedia and the Trustee will execute and deliver an accession agreement (an
“Accession Agreement”) in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit F pursuant to which Unitymedia will accede to this Indenture, as issuer, and assume (on the date of such Accession Agreement) all of the

 (g) The Trustee will sign any Accession Agreement authorized pursuant to this
Section 4.24. In executing an Accession Agreement, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.04, an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such Accession Agreement is authorized or permitted by or not in breach of this Indenture and that such Accession Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of Unitymedia enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions.

agreement governing such Indebtedness) to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer which ranks pari passu with the Notes unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing
such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Issuer. 
 (b) The Issuer will not permit any Guarantor to, and no Guarantor shall, Incur any Indebtedness that is or purports to be by its terms (or
by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) to be subordinated in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is pari passu with the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor or is also by its terms (or by the
terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not
apply to distinctions between categories of Senior Indebtedness that exist by reason of any Liens or guarantees arising or created in respect of some but not all such Senior Indebtedness; provided, further, that Indebtedness under Credit Facilities

 (1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (2) either: 
 (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its

assets of the Issuer on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer. 
 (d) The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture, and upon such substitution, the predecessor Issuer will be

Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of the Issuer’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of,
Section 5.01.

 Section 6.02 Acceleration 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(7)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice
to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25%

  

 93 








 
in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, will be due and payable
immediately. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(6) 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)(6) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or waived by the Holders of the relevant Indebtedness
within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration 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 and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. If an Event of Default described in
Section 6.01(a)(7) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive all past defaults (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts) and rescind any
such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and (3) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation
and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances. 
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may
maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults 
 Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default
or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

 94 








 Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification or
other security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 Section 6.05 Control by Majority 
 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits 
 A Holder may pursue a remedy with
respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 
  

	 	(1)	such Holder of Notes has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

  

	 	(2)	Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

  

	 	(3)	such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

  

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

  

	 	(5)	the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with
such request within such 60-day period. 

 A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights
of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of
Notes to Receive Payment 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee 
 If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section 6.01(a)(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium,
if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest 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. 
  

 95 








 Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim 
 The Trustee is authorized to 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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 the Trustee under Section 7.07 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 that 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 authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10 Priorities 

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the
money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the
filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the 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, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than
10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy or mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

 (e) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The

expense.

 Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee 
 (a) The Trustee and each agent acting on its instructions may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document (regardless of whether any such document is subject to any monetary or other limit). 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The
Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
Counsel will be full and complete protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the

 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any
demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer. 
 (f) The
Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against the
losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee
shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the covenants of the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries in Article 4. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except:
(i) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section 6.01(a)(2) (provided it is acting as Paying Agent); and (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer shall have received written
notification. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information
contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

(h) The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or
liable for compliance with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to any transfer, exchange,
redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of any interest in any Notes. 
 (i) The rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by The Bank of New York Mellon in each of its capacities hereunder and by The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A.
and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder. Absent willful misconduct or negligence, each Paying Agent and Transfer Agent shall not be liable for acting in good faith on instructions believed by it to be genuine and from
the proper party. 
  

 98

of its obligations or discretionary functions under this Indenture by reason of any present or future law applicable to it, by any governmental or regulatory authority or by any circumstances beyond its control. 
 (k) The Trustee shall not be liable for any consequential loss (being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit of any kind) of the
Issuer, Successor Company, the Ultimate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (l) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but
the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Issuer personally or by agent or attorney. 
 (m) In the event the Trustee receives
inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in
its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, will be taken and shall not incur any liability for its failure to act until such inconsistency or conflict is, in its reasonable opinion, resolved. 
 (n) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of the individuals and/or titles
of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized
in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 (o) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable
for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by acts of war or terrorism involving the United States, the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Monetary Union or any other national or
international calamity or emergency (including natural disasters or acts of God), it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as
practicable under the circumstances. 
 (p) The Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the
performance or its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture or the Notes. 
 (q) The permissive right of the
Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so. 
 (r) The
parties hereto accept that some methods of communication are not secure and the Trustee or any other entity of The Bank of New York Mellon Group shall incur no liability for receiving instructions via any such non-secure method. The Trustee or any
other entity of The Bank of New York Mellon Group is authorized to comply with and rely upon any such notice, instructions or other communications believed by it to have been sent or given by an Authorized Person or an appropriate party to the
transaction (or authorized representative thereof). The Issuer or authorized officer of the Issuer shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that instructions transmitted to the Trustee or any other entity of The Bank of New York Mellon Group
pursuant to this Indenture are complete and correct. Any instructions shall be conclusively deemed to be valid instructions from the Issuer or authorized officer of the Issuer to the Trustee or any other entity of The Bank of New York Mellon Group
for the purposes of this Indenture. 
  

 99 








 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any
Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign as Trustee hereunder. Any Agent may
do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 Section 7.04 Trustee’s
Disclaimer 
 The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for
the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes
or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults 
 If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a
notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes 
 Within 60 days after it becomes aware of the
occurrence of an event described in TIA § 313(a), and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that would comply with TIA § 313(a) as if this
Indenture were required to be qualified under the TIA (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2) as if this Indenture were required to be
qualified under the TIA. 
 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity 
 (a) The Issuer will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder.
The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by
it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) The Issuer will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, any Supplemental Indenture or Accession Agreement, the Notes, the Senior Secured Escrow Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement, any Security Document or in any other role
performed by The Bank of New York Mellon under said documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer,
any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or

  

 100 








 
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee will notify the
Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense.
The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of
any Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations pursuant to Article Eight and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law, and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture 
 (d) To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money
or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(7) occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given, to the Trustee in Section 7.07,
including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and by each agent (including The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A.), custodian and other Person employed by
the Trustee to act hereunder. 
 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee 
 (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any
time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The
Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under
any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 (c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Issuer. 
  

 101 








 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, (i) the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee;
or (ii) the retiring Trustee may appoint a successor Trustee at any time prior to the date on which a successor Trustee takes office; provided that such appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. 
 (e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with
Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective,
and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the
Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09 Successor
Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its
corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification 
 There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof or a jurisdiction in the European Union that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million equivalent as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) as if this Indenture
were required to be qualified under the TIA. For purposes of this Indenture, the Trustee will be deemed to be subject to TIA § 310(b); provided, however that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any
indenture or indentures under which other securities of, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of, the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion as set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. 

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer 
 The Trustee will be deemed to be subject to TIA § 311(a) on the same basis as if this Indenture were required to be qualified under the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be deemed to be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 7.12 Parallel Debt 
 (a) For purposes of (x) creating a Lien in or subject to the laws of
Germany and any other jurisdiction whose laws permit Liens to be granted to the Trustee or the Security Trustee only to secure obligations directly owing to the Trustee or the Security Trustee and (y) ensuring the initial and continuing
validity of each such Lien, the Issuer, the Trustee and

  

 102 








 
the Security Trustee and each Holder by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, any Note, the Intercreditor Agreement or any
Security Document: 
 (1) for purposes of this Section 7.12, “Principal Obligations” shall mean
all Obligations of the Issuer owing by it to the Holders and the Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document; 
 (2) the Issuer shall irrevocably and unconditionally be obligated to the Security Trustee in an amount equal to, and in the
same currency of, its Principal Obligations as and when the same become due and payable under this Indenture, the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or the relevant Security Document (the “Parallel Debt”); provided that the
total amount of the Parallel Debt of the Issuer shall never exceed the total amount of the Principal Obligations of the Issuer; 
 (3) the rights of the Holders to receive payment of the Principal Obligations are several (separate and independent from) from the rights of the Security Trustee to receive payment of the Parallel Debt;

 (4) the Security Trustee shall have an independent right, in its own name and stead, to demand payment of the
Parallel Debt by the Issuer; 
 (5) the (separate and independent from) payment by the Issuer of (i) its
Parallel Debt to the Security Trustee in accordance with this Section 7.12 or (ii) any “parallel debt” in accordance with Clause 18 of Schedule 6 of the Intercreditor Agreement (in each case whether through direct payment by the
Issuer or enforcement of any Lien held by the Security Trustee securing the Parallel Debt or any “parallel debt” created under the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise) shall discharge the corresponding Principal Obligations of the Issuer
and, similarly, the payment by the Issuer of its Principal Obligations (whether through direct payment by the Issuer or enforcement of any Lien held by the Security Trustee securing the Principal Obligations or otherwise) shall discharge its
corresponding Parallel Debt owed to the Security Trustee under this Section 7.12 and any corresponding “parallel debt” owed to the Security Trustee under Clause 18 Schedule 6 of the Intercreditor Agreement; and 
 (6) nothing in this Section 7.12 shall in any way limit the Security Trustee’s right to act in the protection or
preservation of, the rights under, or to enforce, any Security Document as contemplated by this Indenture or any Security Document. 
 (b) Nothing in this Section 7.12 shall in any way negate or affect the obligations of the Issuer to the Holders under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Document. 
 For purposes of this Section 7.12, the Security Trustee acts in its own name and stead and not as agent or trustee of any Holder and the
security granted under any Security Document to the Security Trustee to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Security Trustee in its capacity as a direct creditor in respect of the Parallel Debt, and not as a trustee or agent for the Holders.
The Security Trustee undertakes to pay to the Holders an amount equal to any amount collected or received by it which it has applied in reduction of the Parallel Debt as if the corresponding Principal Obligations had not been discharged pursuant to
Section 7.12(a)(5).

 ARTICLE 8. 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to
Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance 
 The Issuer may at any time, at the option of their Boards of Directors
evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge 
 (a) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal
Defeasance means that the Issuer will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and
the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 8.02(a), and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense
of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
  

	 	(1)	the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due
from the trust referred to in Section 8.04; 

  

	 	(2)	the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02; 

  

	 	(3)	the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and 

  

	 	(4)	this Article 8. 

 (b) Subject to
compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance 
 Upon the Issuer’s exercise
under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its, the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under
Sections 3.11, 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.19, 4.21 and 4.26 and clauses (3) and (4) of Sections 5.01(a) and (b) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders
(and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise

  

 104 








 
under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Section 6.01(a)(4) through 6.01(a)(7)
(with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), 6.10(8) and 6.10(9) will not constitute Events of Default.

that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

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

  

	 	(6)	the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of

 105 









	 	(7)	the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal

to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions 
 (a) Subject to Section 8.06, all money, all European Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding
Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (b) The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash in euro or
against the European Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the
outstanding Notes. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the
Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money, non-callable euro-denominated European Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium,

such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee
thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may (without an obligation to do so) at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a
leading newspaper having general circulation in London, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance

 Section 8.07 Reinstatement 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any euro or euro-denominated non-callable European Government Obligations in accordance
with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’ obligations

  

 106 








 
under this Indenture and the Notes will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

consent of any Holder of Note to: 
  

	 	(1)	cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; 

  

	 	(2)	provide for the assumption by a Successor Company of the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security

Indenture and the Security Documents. 

 (b) In formulating its opinion on such matters, the Trustee shall be
entitled to require and rely on such evidence as it deems appropriate, including an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate. 
 (c) The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed
amendment. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment under this Indenture becomes
effective, the Issuer is required to mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing

  

 107 








 
such amendment. For so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the guidelines of such exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of any
such amendment, supplement and waiver. 
 (d) Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of
Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of any amended or supplemental
indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental
indenture that adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of
Holders of Notes 
 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement
this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.11, 4.10 and 4.14), the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject
to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration
that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation,
Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee
will join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 
 It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders
of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental Indenture or waiver. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the
Notes. However, without the consent of the Holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not: 
  

	 	(1)	reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver; 

  

 108 









	 	(2)	reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest or Additional Amounts on any Note; 

  

	 	(3)	reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note; 

  

	 	(4)	whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise (i) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or
change the time at which any Note may be redeemed under Section 3.07, (ii) reduce the premium payable upon repurchase of any Note or change the time at which any Note is to be repurchased pursuant to Section 3.11, Section 4.10 or
Section 4.14, at any time after the obligation to repurchase has arisen or (iii) change any provision relating to the redemption of the Notes in Section 3.08; 

  

	 	(5)	make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note; 

  

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

  

	 	(7)	release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations (or modify such obligations in any manner adverse to the Holders) under any
Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, as applicable, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement; 

  

	 	(8)	release the security interest granted for the benefit of the Holders in any Collateral (to the extent any Collateral so released in any transaction or series of
transactions has a fair market value in excess of €20.0 million) other than pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, any applicable Additional Intercreditor Agreement or as otherwise permitted by this
Indenture; 

  

	 	(9)	amend the Senior Notes Escrow Agreement in any manner materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes; or 

  

	 	(10)	make any change to this Section 9.02. 

 Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents 
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the
consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes 
 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an
amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Authenticating Agent shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of
such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  

 109 








 Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amended or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental Indenture,
the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by or not in breach of this Indenture and that such amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer (and any guarantor) enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 10.

 NOTE GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01 Guarantee 
 (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and
severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the
obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, or
Additional Amounts, if any, in respect to the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest and Additional Amounts on the Notes, if
any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 
 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid
in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 
 Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each
Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that
its obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to
any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor
hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, general settlement with creditors, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally), any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the
Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, any
Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting

in relation to either the Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in
full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the
Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,

 (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this
Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and 
 (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors
for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

 Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar national, federal, local or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 10.03 German Guarantors 
 (a) Each of the Holders, the Trustee and the Security Trustee agrees not to enforce any Subsidiary Guarantee (and not to request the Security Trustee to enforce any Subsidiary Guarantee) given by a German
Guarantor, if and to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantee guarantees obligations or the payment is to be applied in satisfaction of any liability of a Guaranteed Obligor and if and to the extent that such enforcement would cause such German
Guarantor’s (or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partners’) Net Assets to be reduced below zero or further reduced if already below zero. 
 (b) For the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows: 
 (1) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des Stammkapitals) after the date hereof
(excluding any such increase of stated share capital permitted pursuant to this Indenture) (i) that has been effected without the prior written consent of the Trustee, or (i) to the extent that it is not fully paid up, shall be deducted
from the stated share capital; and 
  

 111 








 (2) loans provided to the relevant German Guarantor in violation of the this
Indenture shall be disregarded.

(15) Business Days after receipt of a German Enforcement Notice, an up-to-date balance sheet of a German GmbH Guarantor, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor of its partnership and its general partner, together with a
detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Security Trustee (acting reasonably)) of the amount of its Net Assets taking into account the adjustments set forth in clause (b) above (the “Management Determination”).

the relevant German Guarantor shall deliver to the Security Trustee within twenty-five (25) Business Days of such request an up-to-date balance sheet of a German GmbH Guarantor, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor of
that partnership and its general partner, drawn-up by one of the Auditors together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Security Trustee (acting reasonably)) of the amount of the Net Assets taking into account the adjustments set forth
in clause (b) above. (the “Auditors’ Determination”). Such balance sheet and Auditors’ Determination shall be prepared in accordance with the IFRS as consistently applied. The Auditors’ Determination shall have
been prepared as of the date of receipt of the German Enforcement Notice (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (e) The
Security Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the Subsidiary Guarantee of such German Guarantor in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination or, if applicable and taking into account any previous enforcement in
accordance with the Management Determination, the Auditor’s Determination, not cause such German Guarantor’s Net Assets, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner’s Net Assets, to be reduced
below zero or further reduced if already below zero. If and to the extent the Net Assets as determined by the Auditors’ Determination are lower than the amount enforced in accordance with the Management Determination, the Security Trustee shall
release to the relevant German Chargor (or in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Chargor to its general partner) such exceeding enforcement proceeds. The Security Trustee may withhold any amount received under such Subsidiary Guarantee until
final determination of the amount of the Net Assets pursuant to the Auditors Determination. 
 (f) In addition, any German
Guarantor shall without undue delay and in any event within two (2) months after the German Enforcement Notice enforce, to the extent legally permitted, in a situation where after enforcement of the Subsidiary Guarantee the German GmbH

significantly lower than the market value of the asset if such asset is not necessary for the relevant German Guarantor’s business (betriebsnotwendig). The relevant German Guarantor shall ensure that the person realising the asset will,
to the extent permitted under applicable law, prior to such realisation, assign its claim for the purchase price or other proceeds from the realisation to the Security Trustee for security purposes (Sicherungsabtretung) (subject to the same
limitations as set out in this Section 10.03). After the realization the German Guarantor shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify the Security Trustee of the amount of the proceeds from the sale and submit a statement with a new
calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of the German GmbH Guarantor or, in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, of its general partner, taking into account such proceeds. Such calculation shall, upon the Security Trustee’s
request, be confirmed by an Auditor within a period of twenty-five (25) Business Days following the respective request. 
 (g) The restriction under Section 10.03(a) above shall not apply: 
 (1) to the extent that the
Subsidiary Guarantee guarantees any claims under the Senior Secured Notes, the Senior Notes or Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility that have been on-lent or otherwise made available to the relevant German Guarantor, that have not been
repaid and are still outstanding on the date of enforcement of such Subsidiary Guarantee;

or 
 (4) if and to extent the German Guarantor holds on the date of enforcement of such Subsidiary Guarantee a
fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (“vollwertiger Gegenleistungs – oder Rückgewähranspruch”) against its shareholder.

Guarantors agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note and related Subsidiary Guarantees agrees, that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Intercreditor

Agreement and to perform their respective obligations and exercise their respective rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Security Trustee pursuant to the Security
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will take, and will cause its respective Subsidiaries to take, upon request of the Trustee or the Security Trustee, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the
Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien in and on the relevant Collateral in favor of the Security
Trustee. 
 Section 12.02 Release of Security 
 The Liens created by the Security Documents will be released: 
 (a) so long as

compliance with this Section 10.02, release the relevant Security pursuant to an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon the legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as provided in Article 8
or Article 13. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and 7.02, upon certification by the respective Issuers, the
Trustee and the Security Trustee shall take all necessary actions, including the granting of releases or waivers under the Intercreditor Agreement, to effectuate any release in accordance with these provisions, subject to customary protections and

 The Security Trustee, at the direction and for the benefit of the Trustee or the requisite Holders, will have power to institute and
maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or this Indenture, and such suits and
proceedings as the Security Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or
compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to
the interests of the Holders of Notes or of the Trustee). 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, neither the
Trustee nor the Security Trustee has any responsibility for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien, Security Document or other security interest and shall have no obligation to take any action to procure or maintain such
validity, perfection, priority or enforceability.

Documents 
 The Security Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders of Notes distributed
under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Trustee, for further distribution to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents. All such payments to the
Security Trustee, or upon its order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the same so paid, effective to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents. 
 Section 12.05 Waiver of subrogation

Documents until payment in full of all obligations secured thereby.

ARTICLE 13. 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 13.01 Satisfaction and Discharge 
 (a) This Indenture, the Security Documents and, subject to Section 7.07 the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the
Holders under the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: 
  

	 	(1)	either: 

  

	 	(A)	all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in
trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to a Paying Agent or Registrar for cancellation; or

redemption or otherwise or (y) will become due and payable within one year and (ii) the Issuer or a Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
Holders cash, Cash Equivalents, European Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in each case, denominated in euros in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire
Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to a Paying Agent or Registrar for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Amounts (if any) and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

  

 117 









	 	(2)	no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds
to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or a Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or a Guarantor is bound;


  

	 	(3)	the Issuer or the Guarantors have paid or caused to be paid all other amounts (other than those paid or deposited or caused to be deposited in accordance with clause
(1) of this Section 13.01(a)) payable by it under this Indenture; and 

  

	 	(4)	the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the

 (c) Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01(a)(1)(B), the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 will survive. In addition, nothing in this
Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 13.02 Application of Trust Money 
 Subject to the provisions of
Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable
to apply any euro or euro-denominated non-callable European Government Obligations in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the
Issuer have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the euro
or euro-denominated non-callable European Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 Section 14.03 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent 
 Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee:

	 	(2)	an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 12.04) stating that, in

	 	(1)	a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition; 

  

	 	(2)	a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are
based; 

  

	 	(3)	a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed

 Section 14.05 Rules by Trustee and Agents 
 The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions. 
 Section 14.06 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders 
 No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Issuer, any of its parent companies or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives
and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under the United States federal securities laws. 
 Section 14.07 Currency Indemnity 
 The sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes with respect to the Notes is euro. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than
euros under this Indenture or the Notes (whether as a result of, or the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer, any Subsidiary or otherwise) by the Holder, Trustee or any
other person in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer will constitute a discharge of the Issuer only to the extent of the euro which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other
currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not possible to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is possible to do so). If that euro is less than the euro amount expressed to be due to the recipient under
this Indenture or any Note, the Issuer will indemnify the recipient against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event the Issuer will indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. 
 For the purposes of this indemnity, it will be sufficient for a Holder, the Trustee or such other person to certify that it would have
suffered a loss had an actual purchase of euro been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of euro on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have
been practicable). These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Issuer, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder
or the Trustee and will 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 this Indenture or any Note or any other judgment or order. 
 Section 14.08 Governing Law 
 THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER
JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 
  

 121 








 Section 14.09 Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service 
 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer and each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of and
venue in any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, County and State of New York, United States of America, in any suit or proceeding based on or arising out of or under or in connection with this Indenture and
the Notes and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court. The Issuer and each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrevocably and fully waives the defense of
an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding, and the Issuer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints CT Corporation System (the “Registered Agent”) (whose registered office as of the date hereof is 111
Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, USA), as its registered agent upon whom process may be served in any such suit or proceeding. The Issuer and each Guarantor represents that it has notified the Registered Agent of such designation and
appointment and that the Registered Agent has accepted the same in writing. The Issuer and each Guarantor further agrees that service of process upon its Registered Agent and written notice of said service to the Issuer mailed by first class mail or
delivered to its Registered Agent shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Issuer in any such suit or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any person to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law. The Issuer and each Guarantor agrees that a final action in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other lawful manner. 
 The Issuer and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may
otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or based on this Indenture, the Notes or the
transactions contemplated hereby. 
 The provisions of this Section 12.9 are intended to be effective upon the execution of
this Indenture and the Notes without any further action by the Issuer or the Trustee and the introduction of a true copy of this Indenture into evidence shall be conclusive and final evidence as to such matters. 
 Section 14.10 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements 
 This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used
to interpret this Indenture. 
 Section 14.11 Successors 
 All agreements of the Issuer and Guarantor in this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will bind its respective successors.
All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture will bind its successors. 
 Section 14.12 Severability 
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 14.13 Counterpart Originals 
 The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy will be an original, but all of them together represent the
same agreement. 
  

 122 








 Section 14.14 Table of Contents, Headings, etc. 
 The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience
of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture and will in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
