reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above,
interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph
of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate
actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate.

calculating “Consolidated Fixed Charges” for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio,”

deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on such date of determination; 


  
 12 










	 	(b)	if interest on any Indebtedness actually Incurred on such date of determination may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or
similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on such date of determination will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four Quarter Period; and 


 

	 	(c)	notwithstanding clause (a) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by Hedging Obligations, will
be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreements. 


“Consolidated Fixed Charges” means, for any Person for any period, the sum, without duplication, of:

 Section 2.1 Form and Dating. 

(a) The Issue Date Notes are being originally offered and sold by the Issuer pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of
October 4, 2012, among the Issuer, the Note Guarantors party thereto, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., RBS Securities Inc., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and ING Financial Markets LLC, as
Initial Purchasers with respect to the Notes. The Notes will initially be issued as one or more Global Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons, and only in denominations of U.S.$200,000 and in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in
excess thereof. Each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes under this Indenture. Certificated Notes, if issued pursuant to the terms hereof, will be issued in fully registered certificated form without coupons. The Notes
may only be issued in definitive fully registered form without coupons and only in denominations of U.S.$200,000 and in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. 
 (b) The terms and provisions of the Notes, the form of which is in
Exhibit A hereto, shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture, and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly
agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Indenture, all Notes (including Additional Notes) shall be identical in all respects. Notwithstanding any differences among them, all Notes
issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and are otherwise treated as a single issue of securities. 
 (c) The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements as specified in Section 2.8 or as otherwise required by law, stock exchange rule or DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream rule or usage. The
Issuer and the Trustee shall approve any changes to the form of the Notes attached to this Indenture and any additional notation, legend or endorsement required to be inserted on them. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 (d) Notes originally offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A will be issued in the form of one or more
permanent Global Notes (each, a “Rule 144A Global Note”). Each Rule 144A Global Note shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Note Custodian and registered in the name of DTC or
its nominee, for credit to the accounts maintained at DTC. In no event shall any Person hold an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note other than in or through accounts maintained at DTC. 

(e) Notes originally offered and sold outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S will be issued in the form of one or more
temporary Global Notes (each, a “Regulation S Temporary Global Note”). Each Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Note Custodian and registered in

by or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream. In no event shall any Person hold an interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note other than in or through accounts maintained at DTC by or on

Compliance Period pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.8
hereof. 
 (f) Following the termination of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Temporary
Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in a permanent Global Note (a “Regulation S Permanent Global Note”) pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. At such time, the Trustee shall authenticate the Regulation S
Permanent Global Note and shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of a Regulation S Temporary Global Note and a Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by
adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided. 
 Section 2.2 Execution and Authentication. 
 (a) Any Officer of the
Issuer may sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 

(b) A Note shall not be valid until manually authenticated by an authorized signatory of the Trustee or an agent appointed by the Trustee
(and reasonably acceptable to the Issuer) for such purpose (an “Authenticating Agent”). The signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has
been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. Unless limited by the terms of its 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 an Authenticating Agent. 
 (c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes upon a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (the “Issuer Order”). An Issuer Order shall specify the amount of
the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. 
 (d) In case a
Successor Issuer has executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article IV, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such transaction may, from time to time, at the request of the Successor Issuer be
exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the Successor Issuer with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise identical to the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee,
upon Issuer Order of the Successor Issuer, shall 

  
 40 









 
authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a Successor Issuer
pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such Successor Issuer, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at
the time Outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

Transfer Agent. 
 (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, that
shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange (the “Registrar”), where Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
“Transfer Agent”), where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and for the service of notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture. The Issuer may have one or more
co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. In addition, the Issuer undertakes to the extent possible, to use reasonable efforts to maintain a Paying Agent in a
member state of the European Union that is not obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC regarding taxation of savings income. 
 (b) The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-Registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this
Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate
compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar, or transfer agent. 
 (c) The Issuer initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office or agency of the Issuer as required by Section 2.3(a) and appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying
Agent, Transfer Agent and agent for service of demands and notices in connection with the Notes and this Indenture, until such time as another Person is appointed as such. 
 Section 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Issuer or any Note Guarantor in making any such payment. If
the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer) shall have no further liability for
the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any 

  
 41 









 
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer, if the Issuer or such Affiliate is then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Issuer
or such Affiliate as Paying Agent. 
 Section 2.5 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as
is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. At any time that the Trustee is not the Registrar the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing 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 Holders. 

Section 2.6 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, as applicable (if then generally in
use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use for the Securities “CUSIP” number in notices to the Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any changes in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

Section 2.7 Global Note Provisions. 
 (a) Each Global Note initially shall: (i) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC, (ii) be delivered to the Note Custodian and (iii) bear the appropriate legends as set forth
in Section 2.8 and Exhibit A hereto. Any Global Note may be represented by one or more certificates. The aggregate principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on

 (b) Except as provided in clause (iii) of
Section 2.7(c), members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Note Custodian, and DTC may be treated
by the Issuer, any Note Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Note Custodian, the Registrar and any of their respective agents as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Note Custodian, the Registrar or any of their respective agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by DTC or (ii) impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. The registered Holder
of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including DTC, or its nominee, Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture
or the Notes. 

  
 42 









 (c) Except as provided in this Section 2.7(c), owners of beneficial interests in
Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Certificated Notes in exchange for such beneficial interests. 
  

	 	(i)	Certificated Notes shall be issued to all owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note in exchange for such beneficial interests if (A) DTC notifies the Issuer
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (B) DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in
each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice; provided, however, that in no event shall a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note receive
Certificated Notes in exchange for such beneficial interest prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period therefor and receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act. In connection
with the exchange of an entire Global Note for Certificated Notes pursuant to this clause (i) of this Section 2.7(c), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute,
and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized
denominations, and the Registrar shall register such exchanges in the Note Register. 

  

	 	(ii)	The owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be entitled to receive Certificated Notes in exchange for such interest if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing; provided, however, that in no event shall a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note receive Certificated Notes in exchange for such beneficial interest prior to the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period therefor and receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions
from Agent Members through DTC on behalf of the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note directing the Registrar to exchange such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in such Global Note for Certificated Notes, subject to and in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the Issuer shall promptly execute, and upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to such beneficial owner, Certificated Notes in a principal amount equal to such
beneficial interest in such Global Note. 

  

	 	(iii)	 If (A) an event described in clause (i) of Section 2.7(c) occurs and Certificated Notes are not issued promptly to all beneficial
owners or (B) the Registrar receives from a beneficial owner the instructions 



  
 43 










	 	
described in clause (ii) of Section 2.7(c) and Certificated Notes are not issued promptly to any such beneficial owner, the Issuer expressly acknowledges, with respect to the
right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof, the right of any beneficial owner of Notes to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such beneficial owner’s Notes as
if such Certificated Notes had been issued. 

 Section 2.8 Legends. 

(a) Each Global Note shall bear the legend specified therefor in Exhibit A hereto on the face thereof. 

(b) Each Restricted Note shall bear the private placement legend specified therefor in Exhibit A hereto on the face thereof

 Section 2.9 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfers of Beneficial Interests in a Rule 144A Global Note. If the owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A

	 	(i)	upon receipt by the Registrar of: 

  

	 	(A)	instructions from an Agent Member given to DTC in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing DTC to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note, in the case of a transfer made prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, or the Regulation S Permanent Global Note in the case of a transfer made after the expiration of the Distribution
Compliance Period, in either case, in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest to be transferred, 

  

	 	(B)	instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account to be credited with such increase, and


  

	 	(C)	a certificate in the form of Exhibit B or Exhibit C hereto, as applicable, duly executed by the transferor; 


 

	 	(ii)	 the Note Custodian shall increase the Regulation S Temporary Global Note or the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, as the case may be,




  
 44 










	 	
and decrease the Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with the foregoing, and the Registrar shall register the transfer in the Note Register. 


(b) Transfers of Beneficial Interests in a Regulation S Global Note. Subject to the Applicable Procedures, the following
provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note that is a Restricted Note: 
  

	 	(i)	If the owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note that is a Restricted Note wishes to transfer such interest (or a portion thereof) to a QIB
pursuant to Rule 144A: 

  

	 	(A)	upon receipt by the Registrar of: 

  

	 	(1)	instructions from an Agent Member given to DTC in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing DTC to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the
Rule 144A Global Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest to be transferred, 

  

	 	(2)	instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account to be credited with such increase, and


  

	 	(3)	a certificate in the form of Exhibit D hereto, duly executed by the transferor; 


 

	 	(B)	the Note Custodian shall increase the Rule 144A Global Note and decrease the Regulation S Global Note in accordance with the foregoing, and the Registrar
shall register the transfer in the Note Register. 

  

	 	(ii)	No interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for an interest in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note except pursuant to
Section 2.1(f). 

 (c) Other Transfers. Any registration of transfer of Restricted Notes
(including Certificated Notes) not described above (other than a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note that does not involve an exchange of such interest for a Certificated Note or a beneficial interest in another Global Note, which
must be effected in accordance with applicable law and the Applicable Procedures, but is not subject to any procedure required by this Indenture) shall be made only upon receipt by the Registrar of Opinions of Counsel, certificates and such other
evidence reasonably required by and satisfactory to it in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or in accordance with Section 2.9(d). 
 (d) Use and Removal of Private Placement Legends. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) not bearing (or not required to bear
upon such transfer, exchange or replacement) a Private Placement 

  
 45 









 
Legend, the Note Custodian and Registrar shall exchange such Notes (or beneficial interests) for beneficial interests in a Global Note or Certificated Notes if they have been issued pursuant to
Section 2.7(c) that does not bear a Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) bearing a Private Placement Legend, the Note Custodian and
Registrar shall deliver only Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) that bear a Private Placement Legend unless: 
  

	 	(i)	such Notes (or beneficial interests) are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 upon delivery to the Registrar of a certificate of the transferor in the form of
Exhibit C hereto, and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar; 

  

	 	(ii)	such Notes (or beneficial interests) are transferred, replaced or exchanged after the Resale Restriction Termination Date therefor and, in the case of any such
Restricted Notes, the Issuer has complied with the applicable procedures for delegending in accordance with Section 2.9(h); or 

  

	 	(iii)	in connection with such registration of transfer, exchange or replacement the Registrar shall have received an Opinion of Counsel, certificates and such other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar to the effect that neither such Private Placement Legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.


 The Holder of a Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend (other than a Regulation S Temporary Global Note) may exchange
an interest therein for an equivalent interest in a Global Note not bearing a Private Placement Legend upon transfer of such interest pursuant to this Section 2.9(d). 

(e) Consolidation of Global Notes and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. If a Global Note
not bearing a Private Placement Legend is Outstanding at the time of a removal of legends pursuant to Section 2.9(h), any interests in a Global Note delegended pursuant to Section 2.9(h) shall be exchanged for interests in
such Outstanding Global Note, subject to the proviso at the end of Section 2.14(a). 
 (f) Retention of
Documents. The Registrar and the Trustee shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Article II and in accordance with the Trustee’s, or if different, the Registar’s,
record retention procedures. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar or the Trustee,
as the case may be. 
 (g) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

 

	 	(i)	 Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.9, when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register




  
 46 










	 	
the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make
the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, that any Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

  

	 	(ii)	To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II, the Issuer will execute, and upon
Issuer Order, the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery, Certificated Notes and Global Notes, as applicable, at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. 


 

	 	(iii)	No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to
Section 3.8, Section 3.9, Section 5.1 or Section 9.5). 

  

	 	(iv)	The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (x) any Note for a period beginning (1) 15 days before the
mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date and (y) any Note selected
for repurchase or redemption, except the unrepurchased or unredeemed portion thereof, if any. 

  

	 	(v)	Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar
may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar or the Note Custodian shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 


 

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


  
 47 










	 	(vii)	Subject to Section 2.7 and this Section 2.9, in connection with the exchange of a portion of a Certificated Note for a beneficial interest in a
Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Note, and the Issuer shall execute, and upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the exchanging Holder, a new Certificated Note representing the
principal amount not so exchanged. 

 (h) Applicable Procedures for Delegending. 

 

	 	(i)	Promptly after one year has elapsed following (A) the Issue Date or (B) if the Issuer has issued Additional Notes with the same terms and the same CUSIP
number as the Issue Date Notes pursuant to this Indenture within one year following the Issue Date, the date of original issuances of such Additional Notes, if the relevant Notes are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by
Holders who are not Affiliates of the Issuer where no conditions of Rule 144 are then applicable (other than the holding period requirement in paragraph (d)(1)(ii) of Rule 144 so long as such holding period requirement is satisfied), the Issuer
shall: 

  

	 	(1)	instruct the Trustee in writing to remove the Private Placement Legend from such Notes, and upon receipt of such instruction, the Private Placement Legend shall be
deemed removed from any Global Notes representing such Notes without further action on the part of Holders; 

  

	 	(2)	notify Holders of such Notes that the Private Placement Legend has been removed or deemed removed; and 


 

	 	(3)	instruct DTC to change the CUSIP number for such Notes to the unrestricted CUSIP number for the Notes. 


In no event will the failure of the Issuer to provide any notice set forth in this paragraph or of the Trustee to remove the Private
Placement Legend constitute a failure by the Issuer to comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in Section 6.1 or otherwise. Any Restricted Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such
restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Restricted Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Article II of this Indenture, be exchanged for a new
Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Private Placement Legend. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing upon occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date for any Note. 

  
 48 










	 	(ii)	Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) is amended to change
the one-year holding period thereunder (or the corresponding period under any successor rule), (A) each reference in this Section 2.9(h) to “one year” and in the Private Placement Legend described in
Section 2.8(b) and Exhibit A hereto to “ONE YEAR” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, and (B) all corresponding references in this Indenture (including the definition of
Resale Restriction Termination Date), the Notes and the Private Placement Legends thereon shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period; provided, that such changes shall not become effective if they are
otherwise prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable federal securities laws; provided further that if such change does not apply to existing Notes, all references to “one year” in this Indenture
shall not be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period. This Section 2.9(h) shall apply to successive amendments to Rule 144 (or any successor rule) changing the holding period thereunder.


  

	 	(i)	No Obligation of the Trustee. 

  

	 	(i)	The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, Agent Members or any other Persons with respect to the
accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of Agent Members, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including
any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in
respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC,
subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners. 


 

	 	(ii)	 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other
documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when 



  
 49 










	 	
expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 


Section 2.10 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 

(a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall execute, and upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a replacement Note for such mutilated, lost or stolen Note, of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously Outstanding if: 
  

	 	(i)	the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, 


 

	 	(ii)	the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee, and 


 

	 	(iii)	neither the Issuer nor the Trustee has received notice that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform
Commercial Code). 

 If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an affidavit of loss and indemnity bond
sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar and the Note Custodian from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is
replaced. 
 (b) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.10, the Issuer may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith. 

(c) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost
or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.11 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order, the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery,
temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and execute, and upon
Issuer Order, the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery, definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the
office or agency 

  
 50 









 
maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3 for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Notes, the Issuer will execute, and upon Issuer Order, the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder
of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes. 

Section 2.12 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the
Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its policy
of disposal or upon written request of the Issuer, return to the Issuer all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a registration of transfer or exchange upon Issuer Order. 

Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. When any installment of interest becomes overdue (a “Defaulted Interest”), such
installment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) shall be
paid by the Issuer, at its election, as provided in clause (a) or clause (b) below. 
 (a) The Issuer may elect to
make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest payable on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a
“Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time
the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.13(a). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such Special
Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to clause (b) below; or 

  
 51 









 (b) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such
Defaulted Interest) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the
Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.13(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. The Trustee shall in the name and at the expense of the Issuer cause prompt notice of the proposed
payment and the date thereof to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register. 
 Section 2.14 Additional Notes. 
 (a) The Issuer may, from time to
time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture additional notes (“Additional Notes”) that shall have terms and
conditions identical to those of the other Outstanding Notes, except with respect to: 
  

	 	(i)	the Issue Date; 

  

	 	(ii)	the amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date therefor; 


 

	 	(iii)	the issue price; and 

  

	 	(iv)	any adjustments necessary in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any agreement applicable to
such Additional Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Additional Notes). 

 The Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture; provided, that the Issuer may use different CUSIP or other
similar numbers among Issue Date Notes and among Additional Notes to the extent required to comply with securities or tax law requirements, including to permit delegending pursuant to Section 2.9(h). 

(b) With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer will set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer (the
“Additional Note Certificate”), copies of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
  

	 	(i)	the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; 


 

	 	(ii)	the Issue Date and the issue price of such Additional Notes; provided, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes
to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, unless such Additional Notes have a separate CUSIP or other similar number from other Notes; and 


 

	 	(iii)	whether such Additional Notes will be subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws).

surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

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

signers of their duties as Officers of the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as the case may be, they would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred

 Section 3.7 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Issuer and each Note
Guarantor covenant (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) that they will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law
that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer or such Note Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The Issuer and each Note Guarantor hereby expressly waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 3.8 Change of Control. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change
of Control, each Holder will have the right to require that the Issuer purchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000) of the Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and

Change of Control Offer, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the portion thereof not purchased will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate


  
 55 









 
adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate); provided, that each new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of U.S.$200,000 and
in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. Notes (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be cancelled and cannot be reissued. 
 (e) The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if: 
  

	 	(i)	a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to
a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or 

  

	 	(ii)	notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described under Section 5.4 unless and until there is a default in payment of the
applicable redemption price. 

 (f) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange

Subsidiary of Indebtedness of any Person in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries maintains an equity Investment minus any Investment other than such guarantees in such Person during such calendar year pursuant to clause
(17)(b) of the definition of “Permitted Investments.” 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.9, 


 

	 	(i)	The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Note Guarantor to, Incur any Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.9(b) if the proceeds thereof are
used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Notes or the applicable Note Guarantee, as the case may be, to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness.


  

	 	(ii)	For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of, any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with this
Section 3.9, 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 GAAP. Accrual of interest, the
accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of regularly scheduled interest in the form of additional Indebtedness of the same instrument or the payment of regularly scheduled dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock in the form
of additional Disqualified Capital Stock with the same terms will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.9. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.9,
mark-to-market fluctuations of hedging obligations or derivatives outstanding on the Issue Date shall not constitute Incurrence of Indebtedness. 

  

	 	(iii)	 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.9, the principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in 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 if such
Indebtedness is Incurred to 



  
 60 










	 	
refinance other Indebtedness denominated in foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in
effect on the date of such refinancing, such 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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.9, the maximum amount of 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. 


 

	 	(iv)	For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.9: 

  


	 	(A)	in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above, including, without limitation, in
Section 3.9(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify such item of Indebtedness at the time of Incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses and may later
reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness as having been Incurred pursuant to any other clause to the extent such Indebtedness could be Incurred pursuant to such clause at the time of such reclassification; and


  

	 	(B)	the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above, including, without
limitation, Section 3.9(a). 

 Section 3.10 [Reserved].

	 	(iii)	make any principal payment on, purchase, defease, redeem, prepay, decrease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled final maturity, scheduled

 62 










	 	(C)	the aggregate amount (the amount expended for these purposes, if other than in cash, being the Fair Market Value of the relevant property at the time of the making
thereof) of the proposed Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date up to the date thereof, less any Investment Return calculated as of the date thereof, shall exceed the sum of: 


 

	 	(1)	50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Company or, if cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Company is a loss, minus (i) 100% of the loss, accrued
during the period, treated as one accounting period, beginning on the first full fiscal quarter after the Issue Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial information of the Company is available and

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.11(a), this Section 3.11 does not prohibit: 

 

	 	(i)	the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend if the dividend would have been permitted on the date of declaration pursuant
to Section 3.11(a); 


  
 63 










	 	(ii)	if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the acquisition of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company, 


 

	 	(A)	in exchange for Qualified Capital Stock of the Company, or 

  

	 	(B)	through the application of the net cash proceeds received by the Company from a substantially concurrent sale of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or a
contribution to the equity capital of the Company not representing an interest in Disqualified Capital Stock, in each case not received from a Subsidiary of the Company; 


provided, that the value of any such Qualified Capital Stock issued in exchange for such acquired Capital Stock and any such net
cash proceeds shall be excluded from Section 3.11(a)(iv)(C)(2) (and were not included therein at any time); 
  

	 	(iii)	if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the voluntary prepayment, purchase, defeasance, redemption or other acquisition or retirement
for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness: 

  

	 	(A)	solely in exchange for, or through the application of net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale, other than to a Subsidiary of the Company, of Qualified
Capital Stock of the Company, or

	 	(xi)	[Reserved] 

 In
determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date, amounts expended pursuant to clauses (i) (without duplication for the declaration 

  
 65

 Section 3.12 Limitation on Asset Sales. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 

 

	 	(i)	the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value
(to be determined as of the date on which such sale is contracted) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and 

  

	 	(ii)	other than in respect of Permitted Asset Swap Transactions, at least 80% of the consideration received for the assets sold by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, in the Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents received at the time of such Asset Sale; provided, however, for the purposes of this clause (ii), the following are also deemed to be cash or Cash
Equivalents: 

  

	 	(A)	the assumption of Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale; 

  

	 	(B)	any securities, notes or obligation received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are, within 180 days after the Asset Sale, converted

Market Value which, when taken together with the Fair Market Value of all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D) since the Issue Date, does not exceed the sum of (1) 3.0% of Consolidated Tangible
Assets of the Company calculated as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial information is available (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured as of the date it

 66 










	 	
Consideration) and (2) the amount of cash or Cash Equivalents received in connection with a subsequent sale of such Designated Non-cash Consideration. 


(b) The Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Asset Sale within 365 days thereof to:

  

	 	(i)	repay any Senior Indebtedness for borrowed money or constituting a Capitalized Lease Obligation and permanently reduce the commitments with respect thereto, or


  

	 	(ii)	purchase: 

  

	 	(A)	assets (except for current assets as determined in accordance with GAAP or Capital Stock) to be used by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted
Business, or

Subsidiary from a Person other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

 (c) To the extent all or a
portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are not applied within the 365 days of the Asset Sale as described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 3.12(b), the Company will make an offer to purchase Notes (the
“Asset Sale Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”). The
Company will purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer from all tendering Holders on a pro rata basis, and, at the Company’s option, on a pro rata basis with the holders of any other Senior Indebtedness with similar provisions
requiring the Company to offer to purchase the other Senior Indebtedness with the proceeds of Asset Sales, that principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with original issue discount) of Notes and the other Senior
Indebtedness to be purchased equal to such unapplied Net Cash Proceeds. The Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 3.12 with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer prior to the
expiration of the relevant 365-day period. 
 (d) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to this
Section 3.12, the holder of such Net Cash Proceeds may apply such Net Cash Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited
by this Indenture. 
 (e) The purchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer shall occur not less than 20 Business Days
following the date thereof, or any longer period as may be required by law, nor more than 45 days following the 365th day following the Asset Sale. The Company may, however, defer an Asset Sale Offer until there is an aggregate amount of unapplied
Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Asset Sales equal to or in excess of U.S.$100 million. At that time, the entire amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of U.S.$100 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to
this Section 3.12. 

  
 67 









 (f) Each Asset Sale Offer Notice shall be mailed first class, postage prepaid, to the record
Holders as shown on the Note Register within 20 days following such 365th day (or such earlier date as the Company shall have elected to make such Asset Sale Offer), with a copy to the Trustee offering to purchase the Notes as described above. Each
notice of an Asset Sale Offer shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Asset Sale Offer
Payment Date”). Upon receiving notice of an Asset Sale Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part, in minimum denominations of U.S.$200,000 and in any integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof in exchange
for cash. 
 (g) On the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

 

	 	(i)	accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer; 


 

	 	(ii)	deposit with the Paying Agent funds in an amount equal to the Asset Sale Offer Amount in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and


  

	 	(iii)	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
portions thereof being purchased by the Company. 

 (h) To the extent Holders of Notes and holders of other Senior
Indebtedness, if any, which are the subject of an Asset Sale Offer properly tender and do not withdraw Notes or the other Senior Indebtedness in an aggregate amount exceeding the amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Company shall purchase the
Notes and the other Senior Indebtedness on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered). If only a portion of a Note is purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the portion thereof not purchased
shall be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a global note shall be made, as appropriate). Notes (or portions thereof) purchased
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer shall be cancelled and cannot be reissued. 
 (i) The Company shall comply with the requirements
of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict
with this Section 3.12, the Company shall comply with these laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the “Asset Sale” provisions of this Indenture by doing so. 

(j) Upon completion of an Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Accordingly, to the extent that the
aggregate amount of Notes and other Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds for general corporate purposes of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

  
 68 









 (k) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and
assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Article IV, the Successor Company shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 3.12, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 3.12 with respect to the deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the Fair Market Value of
properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries so deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 3.12. 
 (l) If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale, is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed
of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any non-cash consideration), the conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this
Section 3.12 within 365 days of conversion or disposition. 
 Section 3.13 Limitation on the Ownership of
Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not permit any Person other than the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, own or control any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, except for:

  

	 	(i)	Capital Stock owned by such Person on the Issue Date; 

  

	 	(ii)	directors’ qualifying shares; 

  

	 	(iii)	the sale or Disposition of 100% of the shares of the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) held by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries to any Person other than the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary effected in accordance with, as applicable, Section 3.12 and Article IV; 


 

	 	(iv)	in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, 


 

	 	(A)	the issuance by that Restricted Subsidiary of Capital Stock on a pro rata basis to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and minority
holders of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary, on the other hand (or on less than a pro rata basis to any minority holder); or 

  

	 	(B)	sales, transfers and other dispositions of Capital Stock in a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent required by, or made pursuant to, buy/sell, put/call or similar
shareholder arrangements set forth in binding agreements in effect on the Issue Date; and 

  

	 	(v)	 the sale of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary or the sale or




  
 69 










	 	
issuance by a Restricted Subsidiary of its newly-issued Capital Stock if such sale or issuance is made in compliance with Section 3.12 and either: 


 

	 	(A)	such Restricted Subsidiary is no longer a Subsidiary, and the continuing Investment of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such former Restricted Subsidiary
is in compliance with Section 3.11, or 

  

	 	(B)	such Restricted Subsidiary continues to be a Restricted Subsidiary. 

 Section 3.14 Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Company may designate after the Issue Date any Subsidiary of the Company other than the Issuer or a Note Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if: 
  

	 	(i)	no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation and any transactions between the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiary are in compliance with Section 3.18;  

  

	 	(ii)	at the time of and after giving effect to such Designation, the Company could Incur U.S.$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.9(a);


  

	 	(iii)	the Company would be permitted to make an Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation and treating such Designation as an
Investment at the time of Designation) as a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 3.11(a) in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the amount of the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary on such date; and


  

	 	(iv)	the terms of any Affiliate Transaction existing on the date of such Designation between the Subsidiary being designated (and its Subsidiaries) and the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted under Section 3.18 if entered into immediately following such Designation. 

 (b) Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time: 
  

	 	(i)	provide credit support for, subject any of its property or assets (other than the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) to the satisfaction of, or Guarantee,
any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness); 


  
 70 










	 	(ii)	be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or 


 

	 	(iii)	be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the Holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause
the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary. 


(c) The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) only if:

  

	 	(i)	no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation; and 


 

	 	(ii)	all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation, if Incurred at such time, would have been permitted to be

Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to include the Designation of all of the Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer,
delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the preceding provisions. 
 Section 3.15 Limitation on Dividends

 (a) Except as provided in clause (b) below, the
Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any
Restricted Subsidiary to:

	 	(i)	applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 

  

	 	(ii)	this Indenture; 

  

	 	(iii)	any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, and any amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or
refinancings thereof; provided, that any amendment, restatement, renewal, replacement or refinancing is not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances or restrictions than those in existence on the Issue Date as determined
in good faith by the Company’s senior management; 

  

	 	(iv)	customary non-assignment provisions of any contract and customary provisions restricting assignment or subletting in any lease governing a leasehold interest of any

Indenture; 

  

	 	(v)	any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness not Incurred in connection with, or in anticipation or contemplation of, the relevant acquisition, merger or
consolidation, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired; 


 

	 	(vi)	restrictions with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company imposed pursuant to a binding agreement which has been entered into for the sale or disposition of
Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that such restrictions apply solely to the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary being sold (and in the case of Capital Stock, its Subsidiaries);


  

	 	(vii)	customary restrictions imposed on the transfer of copyrighted or patented materials; 


 

	 	(viii)	an agreement governing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance the Indebtedness issued, assumed or Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (iii) or

	 	(xiii)	restrictions in Indebtedness Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary in compliance with the covenant described under Section 3.9; provided, that such
restrictions (A) are not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those such Restricted Subsidiary was subject to in agreements related to obligations referenced in clause (iii) above as
determined in good faith by the Company’s senior management or (B) constitute financial covenants or similar restrictions that limit the ability to pay dividends or make distributions upon the occurrence or continuance of a default or
event of default or that would result in a default or event of default under such Indebtedness upon the declaration or payment of dividends or other distributions; and 


 

	 	(xiv)	net worth provisions in leases entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business not materially more restrictive than those

Section 3.16 Limitation on Layered Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and shall not permit the Issuer or any other Note
Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or, in the case of a Note Guarantor,
its Note Guarantee, to the same extent, on the same terms and for so long (except as a result of the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to Facilities Agreement Indebtedness and any refinancing thereof) as such Indebtedness is
subordinate to such other Indebtedness. 

  
 73 









 Section 3.17 Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not cause or
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur, grant, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind (except for Permitted Liens) (a) against or upon any of their respective properties or assets, whether owned on
the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, to secure any Indebtedness or trade payables or (b) deemed to exist in respect of Capitalized Lease Obligations (including any Capitalized Lease Obligations in respect
of Sale and Leaseback Transactions), in each case, unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made: 
  

	 	(i)	in the case of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor, to secure the Notes and all other amounts due under this Indenture; and


  

	 	(ii)	in the case of a Note Guarantor, to secure such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee of the Notes and all other amounts due under this Indenture,


 in each case, equally and ratably with such Indebtedness or other obligation (or, in the event that such Indebtedness is
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, prior to such Indebtedness or other obligation) with a Lien on the same properties and assets securing such Indebtedness or other obligation for so long as
such Indebtedness or other obligation is secured by such Lien. 
 Section 3.18 Limitation on Transactions with
Affiliates. 
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company
(each an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length
basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company; 
 (b) The provisions of Section 3.18(a) above shall
not apply to: 
  

	 	(i)	Affiliate Transactions with or among the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries; 


 

	 	(ii)	reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and any indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents of the Company or any

	 	(iii)	Affiliate Transactions undertaken pursuant to any contractual obligations or rights in existence on the Issue Date (as in effect on the Issue Date with modifications,

currency) at any time outstanding. 

 Section 3.19 Conduct of Business. The Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries shall not engage in any business other than a Permitted Business. 
 Section 3.20 Reports to Holders.

 (a) Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall: 
  

	 	(i)	provide the Trustee and the Holders with: 

  

	 	(A)	annual reports on Form 20-F (or any successor form) containing the information required to be contained therein (or such successor form) within the time period
required under the rules of the Commission for the filing of Form 20-F (or any successor form) by “foreign private issuers” (as defined in Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)); 


 

	 	(B)	 reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form) including, whether or not required, unaudited quarterly financial statements (which shall




  
 75 










	 	
include at least a balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement) including a discussion of financial condition and results of operations of the Company in accordance with past
practice, within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year; 

  

	 	(C)	such other reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event that would be required to be reported on a
Form 6-K (or any successor form); and 

  

	 	(ii)	file with the Commission, to the extent permitted, the information, documents and reports referred to in clause (i) within the periods specified for such filings
under the Exchange Act (whether or not applicable to the Company). 

 (b) In addition, at any time when the
Company is not subject to or is not current in its reporting obligations under clause (ii) of Section 3.20(a), the Company shall make available, upon request, to any Holder and any prospective purchaser of Notes the information
required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the
contrary, the Company shall not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of clause (iv) of Section 6.1(a) or for any other purpose hereunder until 75 days after the date any report
hereunder is due. 
 (d) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only
and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 Section 3.21
Payment of Additional Amounts. 
 (a) All payments made by the Issuer or the Note Guarantors under, or with respect to,
the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related
thereto) (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the United States, Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland or, in the event that the Issuer appoints additional paying agents, by
the jurisdictions of such additional paying agents (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the official interpretation or
administration thereof. 
 (b) If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for, or on
account of, such Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net
amount received by each 

  
 76 









 
Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction shall not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or
deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to: 
  

	 	(i)	any Taxes imposed solely because at any time there is or was a connection between the Holder and a Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere purchase of the Notes, or
receipt of a payment or the ownership or holding of a Note), 

  

	 	(ii)	any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Tax imposed with respect to the Notes, 


 

	 	(iii)	any Taxes imposed solely because the Holder or any other person fails to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the
nationality, residence, identity or connection with a Taxing Jurisdiction of the Holder or any beneficial owner of the Note if compliance is required by the applicable law of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction
in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge, and the Issuer has given the Holders at least 30 days’ notice that Holders shall be required to provide such information and identification; provided, however, this
clause (iii) shall not apply if the provision of information, documentation or other evidence described in this clause (iii) would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a Holder
or beneficial owner of the Notes than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulation (including proposed regulations) and administrative practice, 


 

	 	(iv)	any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on the Notes, 


 

	 	(v)	any Taxes imposed on a payment to or for the benefit of an individual pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the
conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directives, 


 

	 	(vi)	any Taxes that would have been avoided by presenting for payment (where presentation is required) the relevant Note to another Paying Agent, 


 

	 	(vii)	 any Taxes with respect to such Note presented for payment more than 30 days after the date on which the payment became due and payable or the date on
which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice thereof given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent 



  
 77 










	 	
that the Holders of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Note for payment on any date during such 30 day period, and 


 

	 	(viii)	any payment on the Note to a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or a person other than the sole beneficial owner of any such payment, to the extent that a
beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of the payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the
Holder of the Note. 

 (c) The obligations in Section 3.21(a) and Section 3.21(b) shall
survive any termination or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any successor to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, as the case may be. The Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as
applicable, shall (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as applicable, shall use
all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and shall furnish such certified copies to the Trustee within 30 days
after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or so withheld is due pursuant to applicable law or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as applicable, furnish such other documentation that
provides reasonable evidence of such payment by the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as applicable. 
 (d) Any reference in this
Indenture, any supplemental indenture or the Notes to principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the Notes by the Issuer shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount that may be payable with respect to that
amount under the obligations referred to in this subsection. 
 (e) In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with
respect to the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.21 are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and as a result thereof such Holder is
entitled to make a claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, and without any further action, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right,
title and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Issuer. However, by making such assignment, the Holder makes no representation or warranty that the Issuer shall be entitled to receive such claim for a refund or
credit and incurs no other obligation with respect thereto. 
 Section 3.22 Suspension of Covenants. 

(a) During any period of time that the Notes do not have Investment Grade Ratings from two of the Rating Agencies and (i) the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than 3.5:1 and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing 

  
 78 









 
(the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Partial Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of this Indenture described under Sections 3.12, 3.13, 3.14(b), 3.15, 3.18, 3.19, 4.1(a)(ii) and 4.1(b)(ii) (collectively, the
“Partial Suspended Covenants”). 
 (b) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade
Ratings from two of the Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a
“Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of this Indenture described under Sections 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13,
3.14(b), 3.15, 3.16, 3.18, 3.19, 4.1(a)(ii) and 4.1(b)(ii) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 
 (c) In addition, (x) no Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary on the date of the occurrence of a Partial Covenant Suspension Event (the “Partial Covenant Suspension Date”) or a
Covenant Suspension Event (the “Suspension Date”) may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during the Partial Suspension Period or the Suspension Period, as applicable and (y) the Additional Note Guarantor shall be
released from its obligation to guarantee the Notes on the date of a Partial Covenant Suspension Event or a Covenant Suspension Event, as the case may be. 
 (d) The Additional Note Guarantors shall be released from their obligation to guarantee the Notes upon the occurrence of a Partial Covenant Suspension Event or a Covenant Suspension Event;
provided, that upon the occurrence of a Partial Covenant Reversion Date or a Reversion Date, as applicable, the guarantee of the Notes by the Additional Note Guarantors shall be reinstated in accordance with and subject to the conditions in
Section 3.21(d). 
 (e) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Partial
Suspended Covenants or the Suspended Covenants, as the case may be, for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (in the case of Partial Suspended Covenants, such subsequent date being the “Partial Covenant
Reversion Date” and, in the case of Suspended Covenants, such subsequent date being the “Reversion Date”) (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company is not less than 3.5:1 during the applicable Partial
Suspension Period or (ii) the Notes do not have Investment Grade Ratings from at least two of the Rating Agencies during the applicable Suspension Period, then in each case in clauses (i) and (ii), the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Partial Suspended Covenants or the Suspended Covenants, as applicable, and the Notes will again be guaranteed by the Additional Note Guarantors (unless, solely with respect to any Additional Note
Guarantor, the conditions for release as described under Section 10.2 are otherwise satisfied during the Partial Suspension Period or the Suspension Period, as applicable). The Issuer shall cause such Additional Note Guarantor to
promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture hereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Article IX, evidencing that such Additional Note Guarantor’s
guarantee on substantially the terms set forth in Article X. The period of time between the Partial Covenant Suspension Date and the Partial Covenant Reversion Date is referred to as the “Partial Suspension Period” and the
period of time between the Suspension Date and the 

  
 79 









 
Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Partial Suspended Covenants, the Suspended Covenants and the guarantees by the Additional Note
Guarantors may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Partial Suspended Covenants during the Partial Suspension Period or the Suspended Covenants during the
Suspension Period, as the case may be (or upon termination of the applicable Partial Suspension Period or the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the applicable Partial Suspension Period or the Suspension
Period, as the case may be). 
 (f) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period shall be
classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 3.9(a) or Section 3.9(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness
Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.9(a) or 3.9(b), such Indebtedness shall be deemed to
have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (iii) of Section 3.9(b). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under
Section 3.11 shall be made as though Section 3.11 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. The Issuer will give the Trustee written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later
than five (5) Business Days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made
during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.11(a). 
 (g) The Issuer will give the Trustee written notice of any Partial Covenant Suspension Event or Covenant Suspension Event and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such Partial
Covenant Suspension Event or Covenant Suspension Event has occurred. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume that the Partial Suspended Covenants or the Suspended Covenants, as applicable, apply and are in full force and effect.

 (h) For purposes of this Section 3.22 only, “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” and all associated
definitions shall have the meaning set forth in Exhibit E hereto.

 (a) The Issuer shall prepare and
mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption, in the manner provided for in Section 12.1, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. 

(b) All notices of redemption shall state: 
  

	 	(i)	the Redemption Date, 

  

	 	(ii)	the redemption price and the amount of any accrued interest payable as provided in Section 5.7, 


 

	 	(iii)	whether or not the Issuer is redeeming all Outstanding Notes, 

  

	 	(iv)	if the Issuer is not redeeming all Outstanding Notes, the aggregate principal amount of Notes that the Issuer is redeeming and the aggregate principal amount of Notes

 85 










	 	(v)	if the Issuer is redeeming only part of a Note, the notice that relates to that Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of that Note, the
Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount of the Note remaining unredeemed, 

  

	 	(vi)	that on the Redemption Date the redemption price and any accrued interest payable to the Redemption Date as provided in Section 5.7 will become due and
payable in respect of each Note, or the portion of each Note, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, that interest on each Note, or the portion of each Note, to be redeemed, will cease to accrue on and
after the Redemption Date, 

  

	 	(vii)	the place or places where a Holder must surrender Notes for payment of the redemption price and any accrued interest payable on the Redemption Date, and


  

	 	(viii)	the CUSIP number, if any, listed in the notice or printed on the Notes, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of such CUSIP number.


 (c) At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s names
and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information
to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding Section 5.4(b). 
 Section 5.5 Selection of Notes
to Be Redeemed in Part. 
 (a) If the Issuer is not redeeming all Outstanding Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes to

method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that if a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering, selection of the Notes, or portions of the Notes, for redemption shall be made by the Trustee
only on a pro rata basis, or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of DTC), unless the method is otherwise prohibited. The Trustee shall make the selection from the then Outstanding Notes not previously called
for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. In the event of a partial
redemption by lot, the Trustee shall select the particular Notes to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the relevant Redemption Date from the then Outstanding Notes not previously called-for redemption. No Notes of
U.S.$200,000 principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee may select for redemption portions with minimum denominations of U.S.$200,000 and in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.4) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes that the Issuer is redeeming on that date. 

Section 5.7 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. If the Issuer, or the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, gives notice of
redemption in accordance with this Article V, the Notes, or the portions of Notes, called-for redemption, shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price specified in the notice (together with accrued interest,
if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) the Notes or the portions of Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of
any Note for redemption in accordance with the notice, the Issuer shall pay the Notes at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). If the Issuer shall fail to pay any Note called-for redemption upon its surrender for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne
by the Notes.

 ARTICLE VI 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.1 Events of Default. 

(a) Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 

 

	 	(i)	default in the payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Notes, including the failure to make a required payment to purchase Notes tendered
pursuant to an optional redemption, a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer; 


  
 87 










	 	(ii)	default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest or Additional Amounts on any Notes; 


 

	 	(iii)	the failure to perform or comply with any of the provisions described under Article IV; 


 

	 	(iv)	the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with, or in the case of non-guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries, to perform according to, any other
covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in the Notes for 45 days or more after written notice to the Company and the Issuer from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes;


  

	 	(v)	default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under any Indebtedness which: 


 

	 	(A)	is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or premium, if any, when due or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the later of the expiration of any applicable grace
period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default or five (5) days past when due; or 

  

	 	(B)	results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity; 

 and the principal or accreted amount of Indebtedness covered by clauses (v)(A) or (v)(B) of this Section 6.1(a) at the relevant time, aggregates U.S.$50 million or more; 

 

	 	(vi)	failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay one or more final judgments against any of them, aggregating U.S.$100 million or more, which
judgment(s) are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days or more; 

  

	 	(vii)	a Bankruptcy Event of Default; or 

  

	 	(viii)	except as permitted herein, any Note Guarantee is held to be unenforceable or invalid in a judicial proceeding or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect
or any Note Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Note Guarantor, denies or disaffirms such Note Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee. 


  
 88 









 The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

(b) The Issuer shall deliver within 30 days to the Trustee written notice of any event which would constitute a Default or Event of
Default, their status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 
 Section 6.2
Acceleration. 
 (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (vii) of
Section 6.1(a) above with respect to the Issuer or the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of then Outstanding Notes may declare the unpaid principal of (and premium, if
any) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration.” If an Event
of Default specified in clause (vii) of Section 6.1(a) above occurs with respect to the Company, then the unpaid principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 (b) At any time after a declaration of
acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences: 

 

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

  

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


  

	 	(iii)	to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and 

  

	 	(iv)	if the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances.


 Section 6.3 Other Remedies. 

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of
and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 (b) 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 

  
 89 









 
or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy
is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.4
Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default, and its consequences, except a default in the payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes. 
 Section 6.5 Control by Majority. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. Subject to
Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
that is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits. 

(a) No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect hereto or for any remedy hereunder, unless:

  

	 	(i)	such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 


 

	 	(ii)	Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes make a written request to pursue the remedy; 


 

	 	(iii)	such Holders of the Notes provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it; 


 

	 	(iv)	the Trustee does not comply within 60 days; and 

  

	 	(v)	during such 60 day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a written direction which, in the opinion
of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request; 

 provided, that a Holder of a Note may institute suit for enforcement
of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note. 
 Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to
receive payment of principal or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates, Redemption Dates or repurchase date expressed in this Indenture or the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 90 









 Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
clause (i) and (ii) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer and each Note Guarantor for the whole amount then due and
owing (together with applicable interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. 

Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim, etc. 
 (a) The Trustee may (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes is then due): 
  

	 	(i)	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 and the Holders under this Indenture
and the Notes allowed in any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or their respective creditors or properties; and 


 

	 	(ii)	collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable in respect of any such claims and distribute them in accordance with this Indenture.


 Any receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such 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, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7. 
 (b) Nothing in this Indenture 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7; 

SECOND: if the Holders proceed against the Issuer directly without the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, to Holders for their
collection costs; 

  
 91 









 THIRD: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 FOURTH: to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount pursuant to Article X hereof from any Note Guarantor, to such Note Guarantor, or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may, upon notice to the Company and the Issuer, fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Holders 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 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 the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of Outstanding
Notes. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default: 
  

	 	(i)	the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

  

	 	(ii)	in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

	 	(i)	this clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 7.1; 


 

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

  

	 	(iii)	the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to
Section 6.2, 6.4 or 6.5.

money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. 
 (e) Money held in trust by the Trustee need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (g) Every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article VII. 
 (h) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer. 

(i) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it
in compliance with such request or direction. 
 Section 7.2 Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to Section 7.1:

the document. 

  
 93 









 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting at the direction of the Issuer or any
Note Guarantor, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any
agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence. 
 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete
authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(f) If the Trustee shall determine, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent
or attorney. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of

 (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee
in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 (i) The Trustee
may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be
signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 

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

(k) In no event shall the Trustee be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, even
if the Trustee has been advised of the possibility of such damages. 
 (l) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for
any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods;
wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots, 

  
 94 









 
interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental
actions; it being understood that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
 (m) The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or in respect to the legality, validity or enforceability of any Collateral or any arrangement or agreement between the Issuer or
the Company and any other Person with respect thereto, or the perfection or priority of any security interest created in any of the Collateral or maintenance of any perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Collateral
following an Event of Default. 
 Section 7.3 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, the Note Guarantors or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Registrar
or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10. 

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall 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, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual
knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest on any Note
(including payments pursuant to the optional redemption or required repurchase provisions of such Note, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.6 [Reserved]. 

Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. 
 (a) The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of 

  
 95 









 
counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with the review, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Indenture or otherwise, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. 
 (b) The Issuer and each Note Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by
it without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture
(including this Section 7.7) and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and each Note Guarantor promptly of any claim for
which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall not relieve the Issuer or any Note Guarantor of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel
to the Trustee, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the
Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 (c) To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this
Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The Trustee’s
right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Issuer. 
 (d) The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses
after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law; provided, however, that this shall not affect the Trustee’s rights as set forth in this
Section 7.7 or Section 6.10. 
 Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company and the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Issuer. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: 

 

	 	(i)	the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

  

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


 

	 	(iv)	the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 


  
 96 









 (b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the
retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under
this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.7(c). 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may petition, at the Issuer’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger. 
 (a) If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

 (b) In case at the time such successor or successors to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture,
any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the
Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates of
authentication and such delivery shall be valid for purposes of this Indenture. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility;
Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee
power, that is subject to supervision or 

  
 97 









 
examination by federal or state authorities and that has, together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual
report of condition. 
 Section 7.11 [Reserved]. 

Section 7.12 [Reserved]. 
 Section 7.13 Authorization and Instruction of the Trustee With Respect to the Collateral. Each Holder and the Issuer authorize and instruct the Trustee (a) to enter into (or cause an
agent or grant such powers of attorney to enter into), on its own behalf and on behalf of the Holders of Notes, such documents (the “Security Documents”) as are necessary or desirable (which shall be evidenced by a written
instruction from the Issuer to the Trustee) in order to create and maintain the security interest of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes in the Collateral as may from time to time be provided to equally and ratably secure the Notes, (b) to
grant such powers of attorney and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things, on its own behalf and in the name and on behalf of the Holders of Notes, as are necessary or desirable (which shall be evidenced by a written instruction from the
Issuer to the Trustee) to create and maintain the security interest of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes in such Collateral, (c) to appoint the Security Agent to serve as direct representative of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes in
connection with the creation and maintenance of the security interest of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes in such Collateral, (d) to accept the security interest in the Collateral on behalf of each Holder, and (e) to grant powers in
favor of an attorney to execute an accession public deed before a Spanish notary public accepting the security interest in the Collateral on behalf of the Holders of Notes. It is understood and acknowledged that, in certain circumstances, the
Security Documents may be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders of Notes. It is understood and acknowledged that the Security Agent, in addition to being appointed by and acting on behalf of the Trustee and
the Holders of Notes, has also been appointed by and is acting on behalf of (and may in the future be appointed by and act on behalf of) other creditors of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Trustee will not have the right to cause the Security
Agent to foreclose on the Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of the Notes. The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or in respect to the legality, validity or enforceability of any
Collateral or any arrangement or agreement between the Issuer or the Company and any other Person with respect thereto, or the perfection or priority of any security interest created in any of the Collateral or maintenance of any perfection and
priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Collateral following an Event of Default.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 DEFEASANCE; DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
 Section 8.1 Legal Defeasance and
Covenant Defeasance. 
 (a) The Issuer may, at its option, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.1(b) or
(c) be applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.2. 

(b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1(a) of the option applicable to this clause (b), the Issuer shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes on the date all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2
are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the then Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter
be deemed to be Outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.3 hereof and the other sections of this Indenture referred to in subclause (i) or (ii) of this clause (b), and to have satisfied all its 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 shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: 
  

	 	(i)	the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.3, and as more fully set forth in
Section 2.4 payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, 

  

	 	(ii)	the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Section 3.2 hereof, 


 

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


 

	 	(iv)	this Article VIII. 


Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise its option under this clause (b) notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 8.1(c) hereof. 
 (c) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under
Section 8.1(a) hereof of the option applicable to this clause (c), the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2, be released from its obligations under
Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, 3.18, 3.19, 3.20, Section 3.21,
Section 3.22, 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) hereof with respect to the then Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall
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 shall continue to be Outstanding for all other
purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed Outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the then Outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with
and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other 

  
 99 









 
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event or Default under clause (iii) of Section 6.1(a) (solely with
respect to any failure to perform under or comply with clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 4.1(a)), clause (iv) of Section 6.1(a) or clause (v) of Section 6.1(a) hereof, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 8.2 Conditions to
Defeasance. The Company or, as applicable, the Issuer, may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option only if: 
 (a) the Issuer has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders cash in U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations, in such amounts as will be sufficient without
reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts) on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the
applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) and independent of the Issuer to the effect that:

	 	(ii)	since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 

 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of
such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to
U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the deposit pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (except any Default or Event of Default resulting from the
failure to comply with Section 3.9 as a result of the borrowing of the funds required to effect such deposit); 

(e) the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in
a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

  
 100









 (f) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer
or others; 
 (g) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) and independent of the Issuer, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been
complied with; and 
 (h) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee and independent of the Issuer to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 

Section 8.3 Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations
deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the
Notes.

Section 8.5 Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax,
fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 
 Section 8.6 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII 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 obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the


  
 101









 
Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S.
Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium 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 U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

Section 8.7 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as
to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all Outstanding Notes when: 
 (a) either: 
  

	 	(i)	all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has

 104









 (c) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes
effective, the Issuer shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment, supplement
or waiver under this Section 9.2. 
 (d) The Notes issued on the Issue Date, and any Additional Notes part of the
same series, will be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture, including with respect to waivers and amendments. For the purposes of calculating the aggregate principal amount of Notes that have consented to or voted in favor
of any amendment, waiver, consent, modifications or other similar action, the Issuer (acting reasonably and in good faith) shall be entitled to select a record date as of which the principal amount of any Notes shall be calculated in such consent or
voting process. 
 Section 9.3 [Reserved]. 
 Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. 
 (a) A
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the
consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, except as otherwise provided in this Article IX. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become
effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents under Section 9.2. 
 (b) The
Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a
record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any
consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. 

Section 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may
require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer, in
exchange for the Note, will execute and upon Issuer Order, the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the
validity of such amendment or supplement. 

  
 105









 Section 9.6 Trustee to Sign Amendments and Supplements. The Trustee shall sign
any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign
it. In signing such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.4, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate each stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all
conditions precedent to the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver have been complied with. 
 ARTICLE X 

NOTE GUARANTEES 

Section 10.1 Note Guarantees. 
 (a) Each Note Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Note Guarantor, to each Holder and the Trustee, the
full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the Obligations (such guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note
Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and agrees to pay, in addition to the amounts stated in Section 10.1(f), any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing or exercising any rights under any Note Guarantee. 
 (b) In no
event shall the Trustee or the Holders be obligated to take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing or exercising any rights under any Note Guarantee. 

(c) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee constitutes an absolute and unconditional and continuing guarantee. Each
Note Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law: 
  

	 	(i)	any claim as to the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; 


 

	 	(ii)	any claim as to the lack of authority of the Issuer to execute or deliver this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; 


 

	 	(iii)	diligence, presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment; 


 

	 	(iv)	the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; 


  
 106










	 	(v)	notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; 


 

	 	(vi)	the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture,
the Notes or any other agreement; 

  

	 	(vii)	any extension or renewal of the Obligations, this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; 


 

	 	(viii)	any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; 


 

	 	(ix)	the existence of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings involving the Issuer; 


 

	 	(x)	any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, termination or defense of any kind or nature which may be available to or asserted by any Note Guarantor or the Issuer against the
Holders or the Trustee; 

  

	 	(xi)	any impairment, taking, furnishing, exchange or release of, or failure to perfect or obtain protection of any security interest in, any collateral securing this
Indenture and the Notes and any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any Holder to any such collateral; 

  

	 	(xii)	the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Note Guarantor; 


 

	 	(xiii)	any change in the ownership of the Issuer; 

  

	 	(xiv)	any change in the laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction; 

  

	 	(xv)	any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or
otherwise affect, any of the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes or of any Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee; and 

  

	 	(xvi)	any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of each Note Guarantor or would
otherwise operate as a discharge of such Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

 (d) Each of the Note
Guarantors further expressly waives irrevocably and unconditionally: 
  

	 	(i)	 Any right it may have to first require any Holder to proceed against, initiate any actions before a court of law or any other judge or




  
 107










	 	
authority, or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from the Issuer or any other Person (including any Note Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Notes) before claiming from it
under this Indenture; 

  

	 	(ii)	Any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer or any other Person (including any Note Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Notes) first be
used, applied or depleted as payment of the Issuer’s or the Note Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, prior to any amount being claimed from or paid by any of the Note Guarantors hereunder; 


 

	 	(iii)	Any right to which it may be entitled to have claims hereunder divided between the Note Guarantors; 


 

	 	(iv)	To the extent applicable, the benefits of orden, excusión, división, quita and espera and any right specified in
articles 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2826, 2837, 2838, 2839, 2840, 2845, 2846, 2847 and any other related or applicable articles that are not explicitly set forth herein because of Note Guarantor’s knowledge thereof of
the Código Civil Federal of Mexico, and the Código Civil of each State of the Mexican Republic and the Federal District of Mexico. 

 (e) The obligations assumed by each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the absence of judicial request of payment by a Holder to the Issuer or by whether any such person takes timely action
pursuant to articles 2848 and 2849 of the Código Civil Federal of Mexico and the Código Civil of each State of the Mexican Republic and the Federal District of Mexico and each Note Guarantor hereby expressly waives the provisions of
such articles. 
 (f) The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Note Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or
impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Note Guarantor or would
otherwise operate as a discharge of such Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

  
 108









 (g) Except as provided in Section 10.2, the obligations of each Note Guarantor
hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason other than payment of the Obligations in full. 
 (h) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or
interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 
 (i) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Trustee or any Holder has at law or in equity against each Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the
Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Note Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith
pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of: 
  

	 	(i)	the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing; and 

  

	 	(ii)	accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law); 


provided, that any delay by the Trustee in giving such written demand shall in no event affect any Note Guarantor’s obligations under its
Note Guarantee. 
 (j) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Note Guarantor, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other hand: 
  

	 	(i)	the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any
stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby; and 

  

	 	(ii)	in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the Note Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee. 

 Section 10.2 Limitation on Liability;
Termination, Release and Discharge. 
 (a) Subject to the limitations set out in Section 10.5 and
Section 10.6, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor and after giving effect to any
collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the
obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. 

  
 109









 (b) A Note Guarantor will be released and relieved of its obligations under its Note
Guarantee in the event that: 
  

	 	(i)	there is a Legal Defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article VIII; 

  


	 	(ii)	with respect to any Note Guarantor other than the Company, there is a sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Note Guarantor following which such Note
Guarantor is no longer a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company; 

  

	 	(iii)	with respect to any Note Guarantor other than the Company, such Note Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 3.14;


  

	 	(iv)	solely with respect to an Additional Note Guarantor, either (A) the Facilities Agreement Indebtedness has been repaid in full and such Additional Note Guarantor is
not a guarantor of the Indebtedness Incurred to refinance such Facilities Agreement Indebtedness or (B) at least 85% of the outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not guaranteed by such Additional Note
Guarantor; or 

  

	 	(v)	solely with respect to an Additional Note Guarantor, upon the occurrence of a Partial Covenant Suspension Event or Covenant Suspension Event until the occurrence of a
Partial Covenant Reversion Date or a Reversion Date, as applicable, at which time the guarantee of the Notes by such Additional Note Guarantor shall be reinstated unless such Additional Note Guarantor would have been released at any time during the
Partial Suspension Period or the Suspension Period, as applicable, pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 10.2(b). 

 Section 10.3 Right of Contribution. Each Note Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Note Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Note Guarantor in a
pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Note Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Note Guarantor to the
Trustee and the Holders and each Note Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Note Guarantor hereunder. 
 Section 10.4 No Subrogation. Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full in cash or Cash
Equivalents of all Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Note Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents,


  
 110









 
such amount shall be held by such Note Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Note Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Note
Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Note Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Note Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations. 

Section 10.5 French Guarantee Limitation. 
 (a) The obligations of any Note Guarantor incorporated in France (a “French Note Guarantor”) are subject to the limitations set out in this Section 10.5. 

(b) The obligations and liabilities of any French Note Guarantor under the Indenture and the Notes, and in particular under this
Article X, shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of article L.225-216 of the French Commercial Code and/or would constitute a misuse of
corporate assets within the meaning of article(s) L. 241-3 or L. 242-6 of the French Commercial Code or any other law or regulations having the same effect, as interpreted by French courts. 

(c) The obligations and liabilities of any French Note Guarantor under this Article X for the Issuer’s obligations under the
Indenture and the Notes shall be limited, at any time, to an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts made available under the Notes and the Indenture to the Issuer to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent to such French Note Guarantor
and/or its direct and indirect Subsidiaries under intercompany loan agreements (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any cash-pooling arrangements or other cash management agreements, provided, that the proceeds of the Notes shall not be
used, in whole or in part, to finance, directly or indirectly, such cash pooling arrangements or other cash management agreements) and outstanding at the date a payment is to be made by such French Note Guarantor under this Article X, it
being specified that any payment made by a French Note Guarantor under this Article X in respect of the obligations of the Issuer shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intercompany loans due by such French Note Guarantor
or its relevant direct or indirect Subsidiary under the intercompany loan agreements referred to above and that any repayment of the intercompany loans by the French Note Guarantor or its relevant direct or indirect Subsidiary shall reduce pro
tanto the amount payable by the French Note Guarantor under this Article X. 
 (d) It is acknowledged that no French
Note Guarantor is acting jointly and severally with the other Note Guarantors and no French Guarantor shall therefore be considered as “co-débiteur solidaire” as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee given pursuant to
this Article X. 
 Section 10.6 Swiss Guarantee Limitation. 

(a) The obligations of any Note Guarantor incorporated in Switzerland (a “Swiss Note Guarantor”) are subject to the
limitations set out in this Section 10.6. 

  
 111









 (b) The obligations and liabilities of a Swiss Note Guarantor under the Indenture, the Notes
or any other agreement, and in particular under this Article X, in relation to the obligations, undertakings, indemnities or liabilities of a Note Guarantor other than that Swiss Note Guarantor or any of its fully owned and controlled
subsidiaries (the “Restricted Obligations”) shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute the provision of financial assistance not permitted under the laws of Switzerland then in force and/or
would constitute a misuse of corporate assets under Swiss law as interpreted by Swiss courts and shall be limited to the amount of that Swiss Note Guarantor’s Free Reserves Available for Distribution (as defined below) at the time payment is
requested, provided, that such limitation is a requirement under applicable law (including any case law) at that point in time and that such limitation shall not free the Swiss Note Guarantor from its obligations in excess thereof, but merely
postpone the performance date until such time as performance is permitted notwithstanding such limitation. 
 (c) For the
purpose of this clause, “Free Reserves Available for Distribution” means an amount equal to the maximal amount in which the relevant Swiss Note Guarantor can make a dividend payment to its shareholder(s) (being the balance sheet
profit and any freely disposable reserves available for this purpose, in each case in accordance with applicable Swiss law). 

(d) As soon as possible after having been requested to discharge a Restricted Obligation, the Swiss Note Guarantor shall, if it cannot
discharge the full amount of the Restricted Obligations, provide the Trustee with an interim statutory balance sheet audited by the statutory auditors of the Swiss Note Guarantor setting out the Free Reserves Available for Distribution and,
immediately thereafter, pay the amount corresponding to the Free Reserves Available for Distribution to the Trustee (save to the extent provided below). 
 (e) In respect of the Restricted Obligations, the Swiss Note Guarantor shall: 
  

	 	(i)	if and to the extent required by applicable law in force at the relevant time: 


 

	 	(A)	subject to any applicable double taxation treaties, deduct Swiss withholding tax at the rate of 35 percent (or such other rate as is in force at that time) from any
payment made by it; 

  

	 	(B)	pay any such deduction to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and 

  

	 	(C)	notify and provide evidence to the Trustee that the Swiss withholding tax has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; 


 

	 	(ii)	 to the extent such deduction is made, not be required to make a gross-up, indemnify or otherwise hold harmless the Trustee or the Holders for the
deduction of the Swiss withholding tax notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, unless grossing up is permitted under the laws of




  
 112










	 	
Switzerland then in force and provided, that this should not in any way limit any obligations of any non-Swiss Note Guarantors under the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement to
indemnify the Trustee or the Holders in respect of the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax. The Swiss Note Guarantor shall use all reasonable efforts to procure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial refund of any Swiss
withholding tax paid pursuant to paragraph (a) above will, as soon as possible after the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax: (y) request a refund of the Swiss withholding tax under any applicable law (including double taxation
treaties) and (z) pay to the Trustee upon receipt any amount so refunded. 

 (f) The Swiss Note Guarantor
will take, and cause to be taken, all and any other action, including, without limitation, the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under the Indenture and the Notes and the receipt of any
confirmations from the Swiss Note Guarantor’s auditors, whether following a request to discharge a Restricted Obligation or which may be required as a matter of mandatory Swiss law in force at the time it is required to make a payment or
perform other obligations under the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement in order to allow a prompt payment or performance of other obligations under the Indenture or the Notes. 

(g) If the enforcement of the Restricted Obligations would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 10.6 and
if any asset of the Swiss Note Guarantor has a book value that is less than its market value (an “Undervalued Asset”), the Swiss Note Guarantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and its accounting standards
(i) write up the book value of such Undervalued Asset such that its balance sheet reflects a book value that is equal to the market value of such Undervalued Asset, and (ii) make reasonable efforts to realize the Undervalued Asset for a
sum which is at least equal to the market value of such asset. Without prejudice to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders under the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, the Swiss Note Guarantor will only be required to realize an
Undervalued Asset if such asset is not necessary for the Swiss Note Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig). 

ARTICLE XI 

COLLATERAL 

Section 11.1 The Collateral. Subject to Section 11.2, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors agree that the Notes

instituted in any state or federal court in the City of New York, New York. The Note Guarantors (other than CEMEX Corp.) hereby represent and warrant that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for
service of process, and the Note Guarantors (other than CEMEX Corp.) agree to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue each such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid so
long as the Notes remain outstanding. The Note Guarantors (other than CEMEX Corp.) agree that the appointment of the Authorized Agent shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding or until the irrevocable appointment by the
Note Guarantors (other than CEMEX Corp.) of a successor agent in the City of New York, New York as each of their authorized agent for such purpose and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent
shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Note Guarantors (other than CEMEX Corp.). 

  
 117









 (d) To the extent that any of the Issuer and the Note Guarantors have or hereafter may
acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of
its property, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of their obligations under this Indenture or the Notes. 

(e) Nothing in this Section 12.7 shall affect the right of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law. 
 Section 12.8 [Reserved]. 

Section 12.9 No Recourse Against Others. An incorporator, director, officer, employee, stockholder or controlling person, as
such, of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claims based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. 
 Section 12.10 Successors.

Section 12.11 Duplicate and Counterpart Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. One signed
copy is enough to prove this Indenture. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted
by facsimile or pdf shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. 
 Section 12.12 Severability.
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 12.13 [Reserved]. 
 Section 12.14 Currency Indemnity. 
 (a) U.S. Legal Tender is the sole
currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer and any Note Guarantor under or in connection with the Notes or this Indenture, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in currency other than U.S. Legal Tender in
respect of the Notes (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer, a Note 

  
 118









 
Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or otherwise) by any Holder of the Notes in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall only constitute a
discharge of them under the Notes and this Indenture only to the extent of the U.S. Legal Tender amount 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 practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that U.S. Legal Tender amount is less than the U.S. Legal Tender amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the Notes
or this Indenture, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the recipient, to the greatest extent permitted by law, against any loss or cost sustained by it in making any such purchase. For the
purposes of this Section 12.14, it will be sufficient for the Holder of a Note to certify that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. Legal Tender been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the
date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. Legal Tender on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable). 
 (b) The indemnities of the Issuer and the Note Guarantors contained in this Section 12.14, to the extent permitted by law: (i) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the
other obligations of the Issuer and the Note Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes; (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action against the Issuer and the Note Guarantors; (iii) shall apply irrespective of
any waiver granted by any Holder of the Notes or the Trustee from time to time; and (iv) shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any other judgment, order, claim or proof of claim for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum
due under the Notes or this Indenture or any other judgment or order. 
 Section 12.15 Table of Contents; Headings.
The table of contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions
hereof.

of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001)) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “USA PATRIOT Act”), the Trustee, like all financial institutions, is required to
obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that opens an account. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as the Trustee may request in order for the
Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

 FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE 

9.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 
 Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

 

	1.	Interest 

 CEMEX Finance
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. 

The Issuer will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date of each year commencing April 12, 2013;
provided, that if any such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the
Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from October 12, 2012; provided, that if there is no existing Default or Event of Default on the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face
hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (but after October 12, 2012), interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date, except in the case of the original issuance of Notes, in which case interest shall accrue
from October 12, 2012. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (“Defaulted Interest”), without regard to any applicable grace period, at the same rate to the extent lawful.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Each interest period shall end on (but not include) the relevant interest payment date. 
 All payments made by the Issuer in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing
Jurisdiction, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event, the Issuer will pay to each Holder of the Notes Additional Amounts as provided in the Indenture subject to the
limitations set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

 By at
least 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the date on which any principal of or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such
principal and/or interest. The Issuer will pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Interest Payment
Date even if Notes are canceled, repurchased or redeemed after the Record Date and on or before the relevant Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest. Holders must
surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in U.S. Legal Tender. 

  
 1 








 Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal and interest)
will be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the DTC. The Issuer will make all payments in respect of a Certificated Note (including principal and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of
each registered Holder thereof as set forth in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least U.S.$10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer
to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 10
days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 


Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may
appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer, any Note Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar. 

 

	4.	Indenture 

 The Issuer
issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2012 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of
the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time. 
 The Notes are general senior
obligations, which are secured by a first priority security interest in the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the other Permitted Secured Obligations, subject to the Collateral release provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.
U.S.$1,500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes will be initially issued on the Issue Date. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Issuer may issue Additional Notes. All Notes will
be treated as a single series of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on, among other things, the ability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to: Incur Indebtedness, make Restricted Payments, incur
Liens, designate Unrestricted Subsidiaries, make Asset Sales, enter into transactions with Affiliates, or consolidate or merge or transfer or convey all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets. 

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes and all other amounts
payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by 

  
 2 








 
acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Note Guarantors have unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, such obligations pursuant to the
terms of the Indenture. Each Note Guarantee will be subject to release as provided in the Indenture. 
 The obligations of each
Note Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made
by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the Indenture, result in the obligations of such Note Guarantor under
its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or similar illegal transfer under federal or state law or the law of the jurisdiction or formation and incorporation of such Note Guarantors. 

 

	5.	Optional Redemption 


Except as stated below, the Issuer may not redeem the Notes. The Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in
part from time to time, on and after October 12, 2017, at the following redemption prices, expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof, if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on October 12 of any year set forth

 Prior to October 12, 2017, the
Issuer will have the right, at its option, to redeem any of the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes
and (2) the sum of the present value of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points, plus in each case any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to the date of redemption,

provided, however, that the Issuer shall not have the right to exercise any such optional redemption at any time when the Issuer is prohibited from having such an option under the
Facilities Agreement. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price (as defined below) for such Redemption Date. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States
Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers (as defined below) appointed by the Issuer. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker or Issuer obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any one of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. or RBS Securities Inc. or their
respective affiliates which are primary United States government securities dealers and not less than two other leading primary United States government securities dealers in New York City reasonably designated by the Issuer; provided,
however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary United States government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer will substitute therefore another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption
Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker or Issuer, of the bid and asked price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent
Investment Banker or Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

 Optional Redemption upon Equity Offerings. At any time, or from time to time, on or
prior to October 12, 2015, the Issuer may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture at a
redemption price equal to 109.375% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to the date of redemption; provided, that: 

 

	 	•	 	 after giving effect to any such redemption at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding;
and 


  

	 	•	 	 the Issuer shall make such redemption not more than 90 days after the consummation of such Equity Offering; 



provided, however, that the Issuer shall not have the right to exercise any such optional redemption at any time when the Issuer is prohibited
from exercising such an option under the Facilities Agreement. 
 “Equity Offering” means any public or private sale
of Qualified Capital Stock after the Issue Date for cash other than issuances to any Subsidiary of the Company. 
 Optional
Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes. If, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of a Taxing Jurisdiction affecting taxation, or any amendment to or change in an official
interpretation or application of such laws, rules or regulations that has a general effect, which amendment to or change of such laws, rules or regulations becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (which, in the case of a merger, consolidation
or other transaction permitted and described under Article IV shall be treated for this purpose as the date of such transaction) we would be obligated, after taking all reasonable measures to avoid this requirement, to pay Additional Amounts
in excess of those attributable to a withholding tax rate of 10% with respect to the Notes (see “Additional Amounts”), then, at our option, all, but not less than all, of the Notes may be redeemed at any time on giving not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to the date of redemption; provided, however, that
(1) no notice of redemption for tax reasons may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which we would be obligated to pay these Additional Amounts if a payment on the Notes were then due, and (2) at the time such
notice of redemption is given such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect; provided, further, however, that the Issuer shall not have the right to exercise any such optional redemption at any time when the Issuer is
prohibited from having such an option under the Facilities Agreement. 
 Prior to the delivery of any notice of redemption
pursuant to this provision, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee:

obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment. 


 This notice, once
delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee, will be irrevocable. 
 In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes
for redemption will be made in accordance with Article V of the Indenture. On and after the Redemption Date,

interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called-for redemption as long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price
pursuant to the Indenture.

	12.	Defaults and Remedies 

 If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. A Bankruptcy Event of Default will result in the Notes
being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event of Default. 
 Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount
