request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution
of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this
Section. 

  
 19 









 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing pursuant to this
Section 1.4 may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or
writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact
and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any
Person in respect of any such matter referred to in the foregoing sentence, the record date for any such matter shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 7.1)
prior to such first solicitation. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record
date. 
 Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record
date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render
ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this 

  
 20 









 
paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to
each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 
 The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.1, (iii) any request to institute proceedings
referred to in Section 5.6(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.11. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled
to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been
set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date,” and from time to time may
change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the
manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to
have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be
later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action
hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any
part of such principal amount.

	SECTION 1.6	Notice to Holders; Waiver 

 Where this
Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if (i) in the case of a Global Security, in writing by electronic mail, facsimile and/or by first-class
mall to the Depositary, and (ii) in the case of securities other than Global Securities, in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later
than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 In addition, so long as the Securities are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, notices to Holders pursuant to the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange
(Global Exchange Market). If publication is required, such notices shall be deemed to be given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication. If a notice is published at the discretion of
the Trustee, the notice will conform to the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange. If publication is not practicable in any newspaper in accordance with this paragraph, notice will be given in such other manner, and shall be deemed to have been given on
such date, as the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, determine.

	SECTION 1.12	Legal Holidays 

 In any case where any
Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if
any) need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue
on account of such delay for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. 
  

	SECTION 1.13	Submission to Jurisdiction; Agent for Service; Waiver of Immunities 


 

	(a)	The Company and each of the Guarantors agree that any suit, action or proceeding against any of them brought by any Holder or the Trustee arising out of or based upon
this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees may be instituted in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, New York, and waive any objection which each of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. 

  

	(b)	 By the execution and delivery of this Indenture or any amendment or supplement hereto, each of the Company and each of the Guarantors
(i) acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, designated and appointed National Corporate Research, Ltd. currently located at 10 East 40th Street, 10th floor, New York, NY 10016, as its authorized agent upon which process
may be served in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to, arising out of, or relating to, the Securities, this Indenture or the Guarantees, that may be instituted in any Federal or state court in the State of New York, The City of New York,
the Borough of Manhattan, or brought under Federal or state securities laws or brought by the Trustee (whether in its individual capacity or in its capacity as Trustee hereunder), and acknowledges that National Corporate Research, Ltd. has accepted
such designation, (ii) submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) agrees that service of process upon National Corporate Research, Ltd. shall be deemed in every respect effective service
of process upon the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company and each of the Guarantors further agree to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such
documents and instruments as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of National Corporate Research, Ltd. in full force and effect so long as this Indenture shall be in full force and effect; provided that the Company
and each of the Guarantors may and shall (to the extent National Corporate Research, Ltd. ceases to be able to be served on the basis contemplated herein), by 



  
 25 










	 	
written notice to the Trustee, designate such additional or alternative agents for service of process under this Section 1.13 that (i) maintains an office located in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York in the State of New York, (ii) are either (x) counsel for the Company and the Guarantor or (y) a corporate service company which acts as agent for service of process for other persons in the ordinary
course of its business and (iii) agrees to act as agent for service of process in accordance with this Section 1.13. Such notice shall identify the name of such agent for process and the address of such agent for process in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York. Upon the request of any Holder, the Trustee shall deliver such information to such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall, at all times, be at least one agent for service of process for
the Company and each of the Guarantors appointed and acting in accordance with this Section 1.13. 

  

	(c)	To the extent that the Company or any of the Guarantors has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether
through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Company and each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of
their obligations under this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees, to the extent permitted by law. 

  

	SECTION 1.14	Currency of Account; Conversion of Currency: Foreign Exchange Restrictions 


 

	(a)	 U.S. Dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company and the Guarantors under or in connection with the
Securities, the Guarantees or this Indenture, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars (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 Company or the Guarantors or otherwise) by any Holder of the Securities in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company and the Guarantors shall only constitute a discharge to the Company and the
Guarantors to the extent of the U.S. dollar 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. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the Securities, the Company and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally,
indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result as set forth in Section 1.14(b). In any event, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase
provided that the liability of each of VCB and CBA will be limited to 50% of the total amount of such indemnity. For the purposes of this Section 1.14, it will be sufficient for the Holder of a Security to certify in a satisfactory
manner (indicating sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of dollars been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of




  
 26 










	 	
dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned
above). The indemnities set forth in this Section 1.14 constitute separate and independent obligations from other obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply
irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder of the Securities and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under the Securities.


  

	(b)	The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant and agree that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Securities, the
Guarantees and this Indenture: 

  

	    	(i) 	(A)	 If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert
into a currency (the “judgment currency”) an amount due in any other currency (the “Base Currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which
the judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine). 


  

	 	(B)	If there is change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or an order of enforcement is made, as the
case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay such additional (or, as the case may be such lesser) amount, if any, as may
be necessary so that the amount paid in the judgment currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in the Base Currency originally due. 


 

	 	(ii)	 In the event of the winding-up of the Company or any of the Guarantors at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Securities, the
Guarantees and this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, shall indemnify provided that the liability of each of VCB and CBA will
be limited to 50% of the total amount of such indemnity and hold the Holders and the Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (1) the date as of which the U.S. Dollar
Equivalent of the amount due or contingently due under the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture (other than under this Subsection (b)(ii)) is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (2) the final date for the filing of
proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this Subsection (b)(ii), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Company or the relevant




  
 27 










	 	
Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which
liabilities of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto. 


 

	 	(iii)	The obligations contained in Subsections (a), (b)(i)(B) and (b)(ii) of this Section 1.14 shall constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the terms of this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Company and the Guarantors, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any
Holder or the Trustee or either of them from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Company or any of the Guarantors for a
liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under Subsection (b)(ii) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the Trustee, as the
case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Company or the relevant Guarantor or the liquidator or otherwise or any of them. In the case of Subsection (b)(ii) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be
deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution. 

  

	 	(iv)	The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by Reuters at 10:00 a.m. (New York time) for spot purchases of the Base Currency
with the judgment currency other than the Base Currency referred to in Subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable. 


 

	(c)	In the event that on any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, in respect of the Securities or the Guarantees, any
restrictions or prohibition of access to the Brazilian foreign exchange market exists, the Guarantors agree to pay all amounts payable under the Securities and the Guarantees in the currency of the Securities by means of any legal procedure existing
in Brazil (except commencing legal proceedings against the Central Bank of Brazil), on any due date for payment under the Securities, for the purchase of the currency of such Securities. All costs and taxes payable in connection with the procedures
referred to in this Section 1.14 shall be borne by the Company and the Guarantors provided that the obligation of each of VCB and CBA will be limited to 50% of the total amount of such costs and taxes. 


 

	(d)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee nor the Principal Paying Agent shall have any liability for converting into U.S. Dollars
any amount received by any Holder in a currency other than U.S. Dollars. 


  
 28 










	SECTION 1.15	Counterparts 

 This Indenture may be
executed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile), each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page by telecopier
shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. 
  

	SECTION 1.16	Force Majeure 

 In no event shall the
Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages,
accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being
understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 

 

	SECTION 1.17	U.S.A. Patriot Act 

 The parties hereto
acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for
the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

 The definitive Securities and the Guarantees to be endorsed thereon shall be printed, lithographed or

shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and deposited with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and the Guarantors and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided, for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct).

decrease or increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security, as hereinafter provided. 
  

	SECTION 2.2	Form of Face of Security 

 [Include
if Security is a Restricted Global Security — THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES ACT, AND THIS
SECURITY MAY NOT BE REOFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE RELYING ON THE
EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF

	SECTION 2.3	Form of Reverse of Security 

 This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its U.S.$1,000,000,000 6.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Securities”) issued under an Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2009 (herein
called the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors named therein, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as New York paying agent (the “New
York Paying Agent”), as transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and registrar (the “Registrar”), and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Japan,
as principal paying agent (the “Principal Paying Agent” and together with the New York Paying Agent, the “Paying Agents”). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee the Transfer Agent, the Registrar, the Paying Agents and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Terms used but not defined in this Security are defined in the Indenture. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and this Security
are guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantees set forth in the Indenture. Each Holder, by holding this Security, agrees to all of the terms and provisions of said Guarantees. The Indenture provides that the Guarantors shall be released from the relevant
Guarantee upon compliance with certain conditions. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

 The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, create and issue additional Securities having the
same terms and conditions as the Securities in all respects, except for issue date, issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional Securities issued in this manner shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series with the
previously outstanding Securities for all purposes hereof. 
 If as a result of any Change of Law (as defined in the Indenture), (i) the
Company is or would be required on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to pay any Additional Amounts referred to in Section 10.10 of the Indenture, (ii) any of VPar, VCB or CBA is or would be required on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date to pay additional amounts under the Intercompany Bonds in excess of the additional amounts that the Company or VPar, VCB or CBA would be obliged to pay if Taxes (excluding interest and penalties) were payable with respect to such
payments of interest at a rate of 15.0% (or 12.5% as provided for in the treaty to avoid double taxation between Brazil and Japan), or (iii) any Guarantor is or would be required on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to pay Brazilian
withholding taxes in excess of a general rate of 15% (or 12.5% as provided for in the treaty to avoid double taxation between Brazil and Japan); and in any such case the payment of such excess amounts cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable
measures available to the Company or the Guarantors, the Securities may be repurchased, by the Company at the option of the Company, in whole, but not in part, upon not 

  
 34 









 
less than 30 nor more than 90 days’ notice mailed to the Holders (which notice shall be deemed given upon delivery of such notice to the Trustee), at any time following such Change of Law at
a repurchase price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for repurchase. 
 The
Company or the Guarantors will also pay to Holders of the Securities on the Redemption Date any Additional Amounts which are payable. Following such repurchase, the Securities will be cancelled. Prior to the delivery of any notice of repurchase in
accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption based on an Opinion of Counsel or written advice of a qualified tax expert, that the
Company has or will, or that there is a substantial probability that the Company has or will, become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such Change of Law. Such notice, once delivered by the Company to the Trustee, will be
irrevocable. The Company shall provide the Trustee with official acknowledgment of the relevant taxing authority (if such acknowledgement is not available, a certified copy thereof) evidencing the payment of Taxes in respect of which the Company has
paid any Additional Amounts to the extent such documentation is issued therefore. Copies of such documentation shall be available to Holders of the Securities upon request thereof. 
 The Company has the right at its option to redeem any of the Securities in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity, on at least 30 days’ but not more than 60
days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities and (2) the sum of the present values 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 semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”),
plus in each case accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to the date of redemption. In the case of a partial redemption of Securities that are represented by a Global Security, the relevant
Securities will be redeemed by lot and in accordance with the rules of DTC. The Company shall inform the Irish Stock Exchange in the event of a partial redemption. 
 The Company may at any time repurchase the Securities at any price in the open market or otherwise. The Company may hold or resell the Securities it purchases or may surrender them to the Trustee for
cancellation. 
 [Include if Security is a Regulation S Global Security — If the holder of a beneficial interest in this Regulation
S Global Security at any time wishes to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, such transfer may be effected, subject to the rules and procedures
of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream, in each case to the extent applicable and as in effect from time to time, only in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar of (A) written
instructions given by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream, in each 

  
 35 









 
case to the extent applicable and as in effect from time to time directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the
Restricted Global Security in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in this Regulation S Global Security in an equal principal amount; and (B) a
certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B to the Indenture signed by or on behalf of the Agent Member holding such beneficial interest in this Regulation S Global Security, the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall reduce the
principal amount of this Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by such specified principal amount. 
 [Include if Security is a Restricted Global Security — If the holder of a beneficial interest in this Restricted Global Security wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security, such transfer may be effected, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream, in each case to the extent
applicable and as in effect from time to time, only in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar of: 
  

	 	(A)	written instructions given by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream, in each case to
the extent applicable and as in effect from time to time directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security in a specified principal amount and
to cause to be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security in an equal principal amount; and 


 

	 	(B)	a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A of the Indenture signed by or on behalf of the Agent Member holding such beneficial interest in this
Restricted Global Security, 

 the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of this Restricted Global
Security, and increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security by such specified principal amount.] 
 The Securities do
not have the benefit of any sinking fund obligations. 
 In the event of redemption or purchase of this Security in part only, a new Security or
Securities of like tenor for the unredeemed or unpurchased portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 

  
 36 









 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be declared
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of
(i) the entire indebtedness of this Security, or (ii) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein. 

Unless the context otherwise requires, the Securities shall constitute one series for all purposes under the Indenture, including without limitation,
amendments, waivers or redemption. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. 
 Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this
Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, New York, or of any of the Transfer Agents duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and like tenor and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S.$100,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the


  
 37 









 
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like tenor and aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Transfer Agents and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months each and, in the case of an incomplete
month, on the number of days elapsed (pro rata basis) based on a 30-day month. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 THE INDENTURE, THIS SECURITY AND THE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. For the purposes of paragraph 2 or article 9 of the Brazilian Decree-Law 4.567 of September 4, 1942, the Trustee is the
“proponent” of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture. 
 The Company and each of the Guarantors agree that any suit, action
or proceeding against any of them brought by any Holder or the Trustee arising out of or based upon this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees may be instituted in any state or Federal court in The City of New York, New York, and waive any
objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. 

The Company may change any Paying Agent, the Registrar or Transfer Agent; provided that the Company will maintain an office or agency where the
Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment and for registration of transfer in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a Japanese paying agent and, so long as the Securities are listed on The Irish Stock Exchange, a Paying Agent
and Transfer Agent in Ireland. Upon any such change, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Holders. 

  
 38 









 U.S. dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company and the
Guarantors under or in connection with the Securities, the Guarantees or the Indenture, including damages. The Company and the Guarantors have agreed that the provisions of Section 1.14 of the Indenture shall apply to conversion of currency in
the case of the Securities, the Guarantees and the Indenture. Among other things, Section 1.14 specifies that if there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which a judgment is given or an
order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay such additional (or, as the case may be,
such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the judgment currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in the Base Currency originally due. 

The Company and each of the Guarantors have appointed National Corporate Research, Ltd., currently located at 10 East 40th Street, 10th floor, New York,
NY 10016 as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit, or proceeding with respect to, arising out of, or relating to, this Security, the Indenture or the Guarantees, that may be instituted in any Federal or state court in the
State of New York, The City of New York, the Borough of Manhattan, or brought under Federal or state securities laws and have agreed that there shall, at all times, be at least one agent for service of process for the Company and the Guarantors
appointed and acting in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.13 of the Indenture relating to agent for service of process. To the extent that the Company or any of the Guarantors has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from
jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Company and the Guarantors have
irrevocably waived such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Indenture, this Security and the Guarantees, to the extent permitted by law.

	SECTION 3.1	Title and Terms 

 The aggregate principal
amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture will be U.S.$1,000,000,000. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, create and issue additional Securities having the
same terms and conditions as the Securities in all respects, except for issue date, issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional Securities issued in this manner shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series with the
previously outstanding Securities for all purposes hereof. 
 The Securities shall be known and designated as the “6.625% Senior Notes due
September 25, 2019” of the Company. The Stated Maturity of the Securities shall be September 25, 2019. The Securities shall bear interest at the rate of 6.625% per annum, from September 25, 2009 or from the most recent

or made available for payment. 

  
 40 









 In the case of a default in payment of principal and premium, if any, upon acceleration or redemption,
interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) shall be payable pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 3.1 on such overdue principal (and premium, if any), such interest shall be payable on demand and, if not so paid on demand, such
interest shall itself bear interest at the rate per annum stated in the form of security contained herein plus 1% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), and shall accrue from the date such
principal and/or premium, as the case may be, was due and payable to the date payment of such interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) has been made or duly provided for, and such interest on unpaid interest shall also be payable on demand.

 The principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office, the office of the Paying
Agents and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company upon five (5) Business Days notice to the applicable Paying Agent, payment of interest may
be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 
 The Securities
shall be redeemable or repurchasable as provided in Article 11. 
 The Securities shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund obligations.

 The Securities shall be subject to defeasance at the option of the Company as provided in Article 12. 

Unless the context otherwise requires, the Securities shall constitute one series for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation,
amendments, waivers or redemptions. 
  

	SECTION 3.2	Denominations 

 The Securities are
issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, in a minimum denomination of U.S.$100,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. 
  

	SECTION 3.3	Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating 

 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an authorized signatory or authorized signatories of the Company. The signature of any signatory on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.


  
 41 









 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed
by the Company and having endorsed (by attachment or imprint) thereon the Guarantees executed as provided in Section 13.2 by the Guarantors, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Security or Guarantee shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature,
and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that each Guarantee referred to therein has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. 
  

	SECTION 3.4	Global Securities; Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange 


 

	(a)	Global Securities. The provisions of Clauses (1) through (7) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 


 

	 	(1)	Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to the Depositary or a
nominee thereof or custodian therefore, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 

  

	 	(2)	 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no
transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as Depositary for such Global Security and the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor Depositary or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in
writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Securities in definitive registered certificated form, or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar




  
 42 










	 	
has received a written request from a beneficial owner of the Securities through an Agent Member to issue its proportionate interest in the Global Security in certificated Form.


  

	 	(3)	If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the
Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article 3. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a
beneficial interest in any Global Security, such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article 3 or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee (or is party to a similar
arrangement) with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or cancelled, or the principal amount of such other Security to be so
exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, in each case by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the
Depositary or its authorized representatives to make a corresponding adjustment to its records (including by crediting or debiting any Agent Member’s account as necessary to reflect any transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest pursuant to
Section 3.4(c)). Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 3.4(a)(2) and as otherwise provided in this Article 3, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such
Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the
events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order,
direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article 3 if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. 


 

	 	(4)	Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether
pursuant to this Article 3 or Section 9.5 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee
thereof. 

  

	 	(5)	 None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the Depositary’s records (or the records of the participant of such Depositary) relating 



  
 43 










	 	
to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such beneficial
ownership interests. 

  

	 	(6)	Subject to the provisions in the legends required by Section 2.2 above, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent
Members and Persons who may hold interests in Agent Members, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture. 

  

	 	(7)	Except as provided in Section 3.4(a)(2) herein, neither Agent Members nor any other Person on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this
Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of
such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security. 


 

	(b)	Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange and Legends. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the
register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.2 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as they may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided. 

 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.2 for such purpose in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall, subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.4, execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing the applicable legends set forth in
Section 2.2. 
 Subject to Section 3.4(c), at the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other
Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing the applicable legend set forth in Section 2.2, if any, each such new Security having the benefit of the Guarantees executed by the
Guarantors, upon 

  
 44 









 
surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 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 Security (including any transfers between or among
Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) 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 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. 

All Securities and the Guarantees issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the
Company and the Guarantors, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and the Guarantees endorsed thereon, respectively, surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

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

No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.5 or 9.5.

 The Company and the Security Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the due date for any payment of principal in respect of the Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.6 and ending at the close of business on the day of
such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

All Securities, initially issued hereunder shall, upon issuance, bear the relevant legends specified in Section 2.2, if any, to be
applied to such a Security and, in the case of the legend specifically required for the Restricted Global Security, such required legend shall 

  
 45 









 
not be removed unless the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (and the Securities Registrar, if other than the Trustee) a Company Order which states that such Security may be issued
without such legend thereon. If such legend has been removed from a Security as provided above, no other Security issued in exchange for all or any part of such Security shall bear such legend, unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that
such other Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act and instructs the Trustee to cause a legend to appear thereon. 

 

	(c)	Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Upon presentation for transfer or exchange of any Security at the office of the Trustee, as Securities Registrar, located in The
City of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or exchange in the form approved by the Company (it being understood that, until notice to the contrary is given to Holders of Securities, the Company shall be deemed to have approved
the form of instrument of transfer or exchange, if any, printed on any Security), executed by the registered Holder, in person or by such Holder’s attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, and upon compliance with this Section 3.4,
such Security shall be transferred upon the Security Register, and a new Security shall be authenticated and issued in the name of the transferee. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Securities, transfers of a Global
Security, in whole or in part, and transfers of interests therein of the kind described in this Section 3.4(c), shall only be made in accordance with this Section 3.4(c). Transfers and exchanges subject to this Section 3.4(c) shall
also be subject to the other provisions of this Indenture that are not inconsistent with this Section 3.4(c). 

  

	 	(1)	General. A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof, and no such transfer to any
such other Person may be registered; provided, however, that this Clause (1) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a
Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this Clause (1) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a
beneficial interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 3.4(c). 

  

	 	(2)	 Restricted Global Security to Regulation S Global Security. If the holder of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security wishes at
any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security, such transfer may be effected, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depositary,
Euroclear and Clearstream, in each case to the extent applicable and as in effect from time to time (the “Applicable Procedures”), only in accordance with this Clause (2). Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of
(A) written instructions given by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified




  
 46 










	 	
Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account
a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security in an equal principal amount and (B) a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A signed by or on behalf of the Agent Member holding such beneficial interest in the
Restricted Global Security, the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of a Restricted Global Security, and increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security by such specified principal amount as provided
in Section 3.4(a)(3). 

  

	 	(3)	Regulation S Global Security to Restricted Global Security. If the holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security at any time wishes to
transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, such transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with this Clause
(3). Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (A) written instructions given by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified
Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Security and (B) a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B signed by or on behalf of the Agent Member holding such beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security, the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall reduce
the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by such specified principal amount as provided in Section 3.4(a)(3). 


 

	 	(4)	 Non-Global Restricted Security to Global Security. If the holder of a Restricted Security (other than a Global Security) wishes at any time to
transfer all or any portion of such Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security or the Regulation S Global Security, such transfer may be effected, subject to the
Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with this Clause (4). Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (A) such Security and written instructions given by or on behalf of such Holder as provided in Section 3.4(b) directing
the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security or the Regulation S Global Security, as the case may be, in a specified principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Restricted Security (or portion thereof) to be so transferred, and (B) an appropriately completed certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C-1 hereto, if the specified account is to be credited with a
beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, or Exhibit C-2 hereto, if the specified account is to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security, signed by or on behalf of such Holder, then the Trustee, as
Security Registrar, shall 



  
 47 










	 	
cancel such Restricted Security (and issue a new Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 3.4(b) and increase the principal amount of the Restricted
Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as the case may be, by the specified principal amount as provided in Section 3.4(a)(3). 

  

	 	(5)	Non-Global Regulation S Security to Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security. If the Holder of a Regulation S Security (other than a Global
Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security or the Regulation S Global Security, as the case may
be, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this Clause (5) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (A) such Security and written instructions given by or on behalf of
such Holder as provided in Section 3.4(b) directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security or the Regulation S Global Security, as the
case may be, in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Security (or portion thereof) to be so transferred, and (B)(i) with respect to a transfer which is to be delivered in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global
Security, a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D-l, signed by or on behalf of such Holder, and (ii) with respect to a transfer which is to be delivered in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Security, a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D-2, signed by or on behalf of such Holder, then the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall cancel such Security (and issue a new Security in respect of any untransferred portion
thereof) as provided in Section 3.4(b) and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security or the Regulation S Global Security, as the case may be, by the specified principal as provided in Section 3.4(a)(3).


  

	SECTION 3.5	Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities 

 If any mutilated or defaced Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate or cause to be authenticated and deliver in exchange therefore a new
Security of like tenor and principal amount, having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them, the Guarantors and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. 

  
 48 









 In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due
and payable, the Company may in its discretion, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security
under this Section, the Company 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 and Paying
Agents) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, defaced, lost or stolen Security,
and each Guarantee endorsed thereon, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and each of the Guarantors, respectively, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities and Guarantees, respectively duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities. 
  

	SECTION 3.6	Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved 

 Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 Any interest on any Security which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall (a) bear interest at the rate per annum stated in the form of Security included herein, (to the
extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), and (b) forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the
Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
  

	 	(1)	 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The 



  
 49 










	 	
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company 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 Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. 

 Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefore to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefore having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 
  

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

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

 

	SECTION 3.7	Persons Deemed Owners 

 Prior to due
presentment of a Security for registration of transfer and the effective registration of such transfer by the Security Registrar, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.6) interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee shall be liable for so treating such Holder. 

  
 50 










	SECTION 3.8	Cancellation 

 Except as provided for in
Sections 11.2 and 11.3, Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company
may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in
accordance with its standard procedures or as directed by a Company Order; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such Securities. 

 

	SECTION 3.9	Computation of Interest 

 The amount of
interest payable on the Securities for any Interest Period will be calculated by applying the rate of interest to the principal amount of such Security, dividing the product by two and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent
being rounded upwards). If interest is required to be calculated for any other period, it will be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of 12 months of 30 days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, on the number of days
elapsed (pro rata basis) based on a 30 day month provided, however, that Defaulted Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as the case may be, and the number of days actually elapsed. 

 

	SECTION 3.10	CUSIP numbers 

 The Company shall in
issuing the Securities use CUSIP numbers, and the Trustee shall use the applicable CUSIP number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to the Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as
to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP number or numbers printed in the notice or on the certificates representing the Securities and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the certificates representing
the Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in CUSIP numbers. 
  

	SECTION 3.11	Paying Agents; Discharge of Payment Obligations; Indemnity of Holders 


 

	(a)	 The Company may from time to time appoint one or more paying agents under this Indenture and the Securities. By its execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the 



  
 51 










	 	
Company hereby initially designates and appoints The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as Principal Paying Agent and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as New York Paying Agent. Subject to
Section 10.3, the Company may act as paying agent. 

  

	(b)	Unless the Company shall be acting as paying agent as provided in Section 10.3, the Company shall, by 10:00 a.m. London time, no later than one Business Day prior
to each Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date on any Securities (whether on maturity, redemption or otherwise) (each, a “Payment Date”), deposit with the Principal Paying Agent in immediately available funds a sum
sufficient to pay such principal, any premium, and interest when so becoming due (including any Additional Amounts). The Company shall request that the bank through which such payment is to be made agree to supply to the Principal Paying Agent in
London by 10:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the due date for any such payment an irrevocable confirmation (by tested telex or authenticated SWIFT MT 100 Message) of its intention to make such payment. The Principal Paying Agent
shall arrange with all other Paying Agents for the payment, from funds furnished by the Company or the Guarantors to the Principal Paying Agent pursuant to this Indenture, of the principal, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional
Amounts, if any) on the Securities and of the compensation of such Paying Agents for their services as such. 

 All
Paying Agents will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee, all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal, or premium if any, of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the
Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by it. Upon complying with this Section 3.11 and the applicable provisions
of Section 10.3, the Paying Agents shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 
  

	(c)	Any payment to be made in respect of the Securities or the Guarantees by the Company or the Guarantors as the case may be to or to the order of any Paying Agent shall
be in satisfaction pro tanto of the obligations of the Company under the Securities. 

  

	(d)	 Each payment in full of principal, redemption amount, Additional Amounts and/or interest payable under the Indenture in respect of any Security made by
or on behalf of the Company to or to the order of any Paying Agent in the manner specified in the Indenture on the date due shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company to make payment of principal, redemption
amount, Additional Amounts and/or interest payable under the Indenture on such date, provided, however, that the liability of any Paying Agent hereunder shall not exceed any amounts paid to it by the Company, or held by it, on behalf
of the Holders under the Indenture; and provided further that, in the event that there is a default by the Paying Agent or the Principal Paying Agent in any payment of principal, redemption amount, Additional Amounts and/or interest in
respect of any Security in accordance with the Indenture, the Company and the Guarantors shall pay on demand such further amounts as will result in 



  
 52 










	 	
receipt by the Holder of such amounts as would have been received by it had no such default; provided that the liability of each of VCB and CBA will be limited to 50% of such amount. This
obligation constitutes a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Company under the Securities and the Guarantors under the Guarantees, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply
irrespective of any waiver granted by the Trustee and/or any Holder of Securities and shall continue in full force and effect despite any judgment, order, claim, or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under this Indenture, the
Securities or any judgment or order.

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (h) and (i) above with respect to the Company or any of the
Guarantors) shall occur and be continuing, either (i) the Trustee or (ii) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may accelerate the maturity of all Securities; provided that, after such
acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other
than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee shall not be obligated to take any action with respect to an Event of Default under clauses (vi) and (vii) above unless it
shall have received written notification from the Issuer and/or the Noteholders representing at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding notes that an Event of Default described in such clauses has occurred. If an Event of Default
specified in clauses (h) and (i) above occurs with respect to the Company or any of the Guarantors, the Outstanding Securities will ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder.

	SECTION 5.2	Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee 

 The Company and the Guarantors covenant that if 
  

	 	(1)	default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security, (including Additional Amounts, if any), when such amounts become due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days, or 

  

	 	(2)	default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof or, with respect to any Security to be redeemed, at the
Redemption Date thereof, 

 the Company and the Guarantors (subject to the limitations provided in this Indenture) will, jointly
and severally, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including Additional Amounts, if
any), and, to the extent that payment of interest on overdue amounts shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate provided by the Securities, and, in addition thereto,
such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

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

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights under this
Indenture and the Guarantees of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture
or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein including, without limitation, seeking recourse against the Guarantor or proceeding to enforce any other proper remedy. 

  
 57 










	SECTION 5.3	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim 

 The
Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, the Guarantors, their
respective creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders at their direction in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any
custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount
due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7. 

 

	SECTION 5.4	Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities 

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

 

	SECTION 5.5	Application of Money Collected 

 Any money
collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon
presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid; 
  

			
	FIRST:	  	To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.7; and
		
	SECOND:	  	To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money
has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively.


 The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
the Holders pursuant to this Section 5.5. 

  
 58 










	SECTION 5.6	Limitation on Suits 

 No Holder of any
Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

 

	 	(1)	such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 


 

	 	(2)	the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it; 

  

	 	(3)	the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 


 

	 	(4)	no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities; 

 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture, any Security or the Guarantees to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), any Security or any
Guarantee, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. 
  

	SECTION 5.7	Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest 

 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.6) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or earlier Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 59 










	SECTION 5.8	Restoration of Rights and Remedies 

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

	SECTION 5.9	Rights and Remedies Cumulative 

 Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.5 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

 

	SECTION 5.10	Delay or Omission Not Waiver 

 No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every
right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

 

	SECTION 5.11	Control by Holders 

 The Holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee, provided that 
  

	 	(1)	such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or expose the Trustee to personal liability (as determined in the sole discretion of
the Trustee), and 

  

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


  
 60 









 The Trustee may refuse, however, to follow any direction that the Trustee, in its sole discretion,
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Holders or that may subject the Trustee to any liability or expense if the Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that it lacks indemnification satisfactory to it against such loss or
expense. 
  

	SECTION 5.12	Waiver of Past Defaults 

 The Holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may by written notice to the Company and the Trustee waive any past default hereunder and rescind and annul any declaration of acceleration and its consequences,
except a default 
  

	 	(1)	in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security, or 


 

	 	(2)	in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
affected. 

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

	SECTION 5.13	Undertaking for Costs 

 In any suit for
the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking
to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, 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 513 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding
Securities. 

  
 61 









 ARTICLE 6 
 THE TRUSTEE 
  

	SECTION 6.1	Certain Duties and Responsibilities 

  

	(a)	Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

  

	 	(1)	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 

  

	 	(2)	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; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).


  

	(b)	In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of 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 person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 


 

	(c)	No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own
wilful misconduct, except that 

  

	 	(1)	this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 


 

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

  

	 	(3)	 the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Holders of a 



  
 62 










	 	
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Security of any series, determined as provided in Section 5.1, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Security; and 

  

	 	(4)	No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any 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 for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; it being
understood that, the Trustee shall not have to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the event that such expenses are not in the ordinary course of administration of this Indenture. 


 

	 	(5)	The Trustee shall not be obligated to take any action with respect to an Event of Default under Sections 5.1(f) and (g) unless it shall have received written
notification from Holders representing at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities that an Event of Default described in such Sections has occurred. 


 

	(d)	Whether or not therein expressly so provided, 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 Section. 

  

	SECTION 6.2	Notice of Defaults 

 The Trustee shall
give the Holders notice of any Default that has occurred and is continuing and of which the Trustee has actual knowledge, within 90 days after the occurrence of such Default (but not less than 15 days after knowledge thereof). The Trustee may
withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities) if it determines that withholding such notice is
in their interest; provided that, in the case of a default of a character specified in section 5.1(d), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. 

  
 63 










	SECTION 6.3	Certain Rights of Trustee 

 Subject to the
provisions of Section 6.1: 
  

	(a)	the Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 


 

	(b)	any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or a Company Order and any resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 

  

	(c)	whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel; 


 

	(d)	the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

  

	(e)	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
pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction satisfactory to
the Trustee; 

  

	(f)	the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, report, opinion,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see
fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 


 

	(g)	the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part, or for the supervision of, any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

  


	(h)	the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith which the Trustee believed to have been authorized or within its rights or
powers; 


  
 64 










	(i)	the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have
actual knowledge of such default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company or by any Holder of the Notes; 


 

	(j)	in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 


 

	(k)	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 each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; 

  

	(l)	the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder; and 


 

	(m)	the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take
specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 

  

	SECTION 6.4	Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities 

 The recitals contained herein, in the Securities and in the Guarantees endorsed thereon, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the
Guarantors, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
  

	SECTION 6.5	May Hold Securities 

 The Trustee, any
Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, any Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) or any other agent of the Company or the Guarantors, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections
6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 

  
 65 










	SECTION 6.6	Money Held in Trust 

 All moneys received
by the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, and need not be segregated from other funds of the Trustee or Paying Agent, except as otherwise
required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree in writing with the Company to pay thereon. 

 

	SECTION 6.7	Compensation and Reimbursement 

 The
Company and the Guarantors agree: 
  

	 	(1)	to pay to the Trustee and the Paying Agents from time to time upon demand such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as shall be agreed upon in writing
(which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as such fees may be adjusted from time to time; 


 

	 	(2)	except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent and each other Paying Agent upon its request for all
reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by it in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of their agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and 

  

	 	(3)	to indemnify each of the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent and each other Paying Agent for, and to hold each harmless against, any loss, liability, cost, damage,
claim or expense (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents, accountants, experts and counsel) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust or the performance by it of its duties and obligations or the exercise of its rights hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or the Guarantors, as the
case may be (including, without limitation, this Section 6.7) and of defending against any claim (whether asserted by any Holder or the Company or the Guarantors or any other Person, as the case may be) or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive any termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent or other Paying
Agent. 


  
 66 









 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be,
under this Section 6.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
particular Securities. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 6.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be (even though the
Securities may be so subordinated). 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 5.1 occurs, the expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title II, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal, State or analogous foreign law for the relief of debtors.

  

	SECTION 6.8	Disqualification; Conflicting Interests 


If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest
or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
  

	SECTION 6.9	Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility 


There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a
combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000 and its Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York, New York. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal, State,
Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

  

	SECTION 6.10	Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor 

  

	(a)	No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment
by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11, at which time the retiring Trustee shall be fully discharged from its obligations hereunder. 

  

	(b)	 The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not
have been delivered to the 



  
 67 










	 	
Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee. 

  

	(c)	The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Company may petition, at its expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  

	(d)	If at any time: 

  

	 	(1)	the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after written request therefore by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for
at least six months, or 

  

	 	(2)	the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefore by the Company or by any such Holder, or


  

	 	(3)	the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or
(ii) any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  

	(e)	If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 


 

	(f)	The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in
Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 


  
 68 










	SECTION 6.11	Acceptance of Appointment by Successor 


Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Guarantors and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its Lien, if any, provided for in
Section 6.7. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainty vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
  

	SECTION 6.12	Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business 

 Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or convened or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such
corporation or other entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor
Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 

  
 69 










	SECTION 6.13	Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company 

 The Trustee shall comply with Sections 311(a) and 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the
extent indicated. 
  

	SECTION 6.14	Appointment of Authenticating Agent 

 The
Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or
partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.5, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever
reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee
by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S.$50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation or other entity into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation or other entity shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any lime such Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, 

  
 70 









 
the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all
Holders of Securities. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with tike effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company
agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 If an appointment
is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

	SECTION 9.4	Effect of Supplemental Indentures

 ARTICLE 10 
 COVENANTS 
  

	SECTION 10.1	Payment Under the Securities and the Guarantees 

 The Company and the Guarantors shall duly and punctually pay all amounts owed by them, and comply with all their other obligations, under the terms of the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture
(collectively, the “Transaction Documents”). 
  

	SECTION 10.2	Maintenance of Office or Agency 

 The
Company and the Guarantors will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company or the Guarantors in respect of the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture may be served. Initially, this office will be at the offices of National Corporate Research, Ltd.
located at 10 East 40th Street, 10th floor, New York, NY 10016, and the Company and the Guarantors shall agree not to change the designation of such office without prior written notice to the Trustee and designation of a replacement office in the
same general location. In addition, for as long as the Securities are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Company will maintain in Ireland an office or agency where securities may be presented or surrendered for payment and where securities may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such offices or agencies. If at any time the Company or any of the Guarantors
shall fail to maintain any such required offices or agencies or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The
Company and each of the Guarantors hereby appoint the Trustee as their agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York) where the Securities may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations (each, a “Transfer Agent”); provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York or, for so long as the Securities are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, in Ireland for such purposes. The Company has initially
designated the offices of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act as Transfer Agent. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or
agency. 

  
 78 










	SECTION 10.3	Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust 

 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly
notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act. As provided in Section 5.4, upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding relative to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as the Co-Paying Agent for the Securities.

 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on any Securities, deposit with the Principal Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act. As provided in Section 5.4, upon any bankruptcy
or reorganization proceeding relative to the Company the Trustee shall serve as the Paying Agent for the Securities. 
 The Company will cause
each Paying Agent other than the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent
will: 
  

	 	(1)	hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disclosed of as herein provided; 

  

	 	(2)	give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or
interest; 

  

	 	(3)	at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying
Agent; and 

  

	 	(4)	acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties, rights and obligations of such Paying Agent.



  
 79 









 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were
held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on the Company’s Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper
published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein,
which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
  

	SECTION 10.4	Maintenance of corporate existence 

 The
Company and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain in effect their corporate existence and all registrations necessary therefore and take all actions to maintain all rights, privileges, titles to property,
franchises and the like necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of their business, activities or operations provided that this covenant shall not require the Company, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries to maintain any such
registration, right, privilege, title to property, franchise or the like or require the Company or any Guarantor to preserve the corporate existence of any of their Subsidiaries, if the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company or such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holders. 
  

	SECTION 10.5	Repurchases at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control 

 If a Change of Control occurs that results in a Rating Decline, each Holder will have the right to require the Company or any of the Guarantors to repurchase all or any part (equal to U.S.$100,000 and
integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof) of the Securities of that Holder pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. No such purchase in part shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Securities held by any Holder to below
U.S.$100,000. In the Change of Control Offer, any of the Company or the Guarantors will offer a “Change of Control Payment” in U.S. dollars equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities


  
 80 









 
repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities repurchased, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant
Record Date to receive interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 
 Within 30 days following any Change
of Control that results in a Rating Decline any of the Company or the Guarantors will make a “Change of Control Offer” by notice to each Holder of Securities in accordance with the provision set out under Section 1.6,
describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Securities on the date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which date will be no earlier than 30
days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice. The Company or one of the Guarantors, as the case may be, will also give notices to the Holders
as may be required pursuant to the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange (Global Exchange Market) or such other exchange on which the Securities may then be listed. 
 The Company or the Guarantor launching the Change of Control Offer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e)-1 of the Exchange Act and any other applicable
securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Company or
the Guarantor launching the Change of Control Offer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or
regulations. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company or the Guarantor launching the Change of Control Offer will, to the extent
lawful: 
  

	 	(1)	accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 


 

	 	(2)	deposit with the Paying Agents an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered; and


  

	 	(3)	deliver or cause to be delivered, if applicable, to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating
the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being purchased. 

 The Paying Agents will promptly mail to
each Holder who properly tendered Securities the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and 

  
 81 









 
mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each
new Security will be in minimum denominations of U.S.$100,000 and integral multiples of U.S$.1,000 in excess thereof. Any of the Company or the Guarantors will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer as may be required pursuant
to the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange (Global Exchange Market) or such other exchange on which the notes may then be listed. 
 The
provisions described above that require any of the Company or the Guarantors to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. However, the
Company is only required to make a Change of Control Offer in the event that a Change of Control results in a Rating Decline. Consequently, if a Change of Control were to occur which does not result in a Rating Decline, neither the Company nor the
Guarantors would be required to launch a Change of Control Offer. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders to require that the Company or any of the Guarantors
repurchase or redeem the Securities in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. 
 Neither the Company nor any of the
Guarantors will be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements, set forth in this
Indenture, that are applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company or any of the Guarantors and such third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of
redemption has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described under Section 11.2 unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and subject to applicable law, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control and conditioned upon the occurrence of such
Change of Control if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 
  

	SECTION 10.6	Payment of Taxes and Other Claims 

 The
Company and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed
upon the Company, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company, such Guarantor or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be; provided, however, that neither the Company, the Guarantors nor any Subsidiary shall be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose
amount, applicability or validity is 

  
 82 









 
being contested in good faith and, if appropriate, by appropriate legal proceedings, or where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or such Guarantor and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holdings. 
  

	SECTION 10.7	Provision of Financial Information 

 The
Company and each of the Guarantors have agreed that they will each furnish to the Trustee and the Holders under the Restricted Global Security or of a restricted certificated security and to any prospective purchasers of such Securities, to the
extent permitted by applicable law or contractual restrictions, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. The foregoing obligation will not apply to the Company or any
Guarantor that subsequently is subject to and in compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act. 

Additionally, each Guarantor shall provide the Trustee and the Holders, within 120 days of the end of each fiscal year and 60 days within the end of each
of the first three fiscal quarters, annual or quarterly financial statements, as applicable, in accordance with applicable GAAP and audited in the case of annual financial statements. The financial statements of the Guarantors will be available at
the specified office of the Trustee. 
 In the event that the Company shall publish or otherwise make publicly available any financial
statements or reports, the Company shall furnish a copy of such statements or reports to the Trustee and the Holders within 60 days of the date of filing or the date such information is published or otherwise made publicly available, as the case may
be. 
 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 or a Guarantor’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to
which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates or notices from the Holders).

may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default and the action which the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, proposes

aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or

all payments to a Holder of principal (and premium, if any) and interest in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any and all present and future withholding taxes, duties, assessments,
levies, imposts or charges (“Taxes”) whatsoever imposed by or on behalf of, the Cayman Islands, Brazil or Japan or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by
law. In that event, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by the Holders of such amounts as would have been received by them if
no such withholding or deduction had been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Security: 
  

	 	(i)	held by, or by a third party on behalf of, a holder which is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments, levies, imposts or governmental charges in respect of such
Security by reason of its (or a fiduciary, settlor, member or shareholder, beneficiary of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) having some present or former connection with the
Cayman Islands, Brazil or Japan (including being or having been a citizen or resident of the Cayman Islands, Brazil or Japan or being or having been engaged in trade or business therein) other than the mere holding of such Security; or



  
 84 










	 	(ii)	where (in the case of a payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption) the relevant Security is surrendered for
payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the relevant Holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had surrendered the relevant Security on the last day of such period of 30 days; or


  

	 	(iii)	if such tax is an estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment, levy, impost or governmental charge; or


  

	 	(iv)	if such amount is (a) payable other than by withholding from a payment on such Security, or (b) required to be withheld by a paying agent and such payment can
be made without such withholding by any other paying agent; or 

  

	 	(v)	if such tax, duty, assessment, levy, impost or governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the failure of such holder to comply with applicable
certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Cayman Islands, Brazil or Japan of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Security if such compliance is
required as a precondition to relief or exemption from withholding or deduction of all or part of such tax, duty, assessment, levy, impost or governmental charge; or 


 

	 	(vi)	where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to Council Directive 200348/EC of 3 June 2003 on
taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments or any European Union Directive otherwise implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26 and 27 November 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced
in order to conform to, any such Directive; or 

  

	 	(vii)	in the case of any combination of items (i) through (vi). 

 “Relevant Date” means whichever is the later of (a) the date on which the payment in question first becomes due and (b) if the full amount payable has not been received by the
Principal Paying Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on which (the full amount having been so received) notice to that effect has been given to the Holders. 
 The Company shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the


  
 85 









 
execution, delivery or registration of the Securities or any other document or instrument referred to therein, excluding any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction
outside of Brazil, except those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, (i) the execution in or bringing to the Cayman Islands of the Securities or any document or instrument; (ii) the production before a court of the
Cayman Islands of the Securities or any document or instrument or (iii) the enforcement of the Securities or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Securities. 

References to principal or interest shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts in respect of principal, premium, if any, or interest (as the case
may be) which may be payable under the Securities. 
 If the Company or any Guarantor becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction
other than the Cayman Islands, Brazil, or Japan as the case may be, references herein to the Cayman Islands, Brazil and Japan, respectively, shall be construed to include such other jurisdiction.

 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
  

	SECTION 11.1	Redemption For Tax Reasons 

 If as a
result of any Change of Law (as defined below): 
  

	 	(i)	the Company is or would be required on the next succeeding interest payment date to pay any Additional Amounts; 


 

	 	(ii)	 the issuers of the Intercompany Bonds are or would be required on the next succeeding interest payment date to pay Taxes in excess of a general rate of
15% 



  
 92 










	 	
(or 12.5% as provided for in the treaty to avoid double taxation between Brazil and Japan); provided that such requirement to pay such taxes in excess of a general rate of 15% was not
caused by, or otherwise the result of, whether directly or indirectly, wholly or in part, any amendment to the Intercompany Bonds; or 

  

	 	(iii)	any Guarantor is or would be required on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to pay Brazilian withholding taxes in excess of a general rate of 15% (or 12.5% as
provided for in the treaty to avoid double taxation between Brazil and Japan); 

 and in any such case the payment of such excess
amounts cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to such issuer, the Securities may be repurchased, by the Company at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 90 days’
notice to the Holders (which notice shall be deemed given upon delivery of such notice to the Trustee), which notice will be published, at any time following such Change of Law at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for repurchase. The Company or its Affiliates will also pay to the Holders on the repurchase date any Additional Amounts which are payable. Following such repurchase, the Securities will be
cancelled. 
 “Change of Law” means any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of the Cayman Islands, Brazil or
Japan (or of any political subdivision thereof or therein) or the adoption, amendment or modification of any resolution of the Central Bank of Brazil or such other countries (or any successor authority thereto) which becomes effective on or after
the date of this Indenture resulting in VPar on a consolidated basis being required to pay amounts with respect to Taxes above in a total aggregate amount in excess of that payable immediately prior to such change or amendment. 

Prior to the delivery of any notice of repurchase in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such repurchase based on an Opinion of Counsel or written advice of a qualified tax expert, that the Company has or will, or that there is a substantial probability that the Company has or
will, become obligated to pay such excess amounts with respect to Taxes as a result of such Change of Law. Such notice, once delivered by the Company to the Trustee, will be irrevocable. 
 The Company shall provide the Trustee with official acknowledgment of the relevant taxing authority (or if such acknowledgment is not available, a certified copy thereof) evidencing the payment of Taxes
in respect of which the Company has paid such excess amounts with respect to Taxes to the extent such documentation is issued therefore. Copies of such documentation shall be available to Holders upon request thereof.

	SECTION 11.2	Optional Redemption 

 The Company has the
right at its option to redeem any of the Securities in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity, on at least 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to the greater of
(1) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities and (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the

the Securities to the date of redemption. In the case of a partial redemption of Securities that are represented by a Global Security, the relevant Securities will be redeemed by lot and in accordance with the rules of DTC. The Company shall inform
the Irish Stock Exchange in the event of a partial redemption. 
 The Company may at any time repurchase the Securities at any price in the open
market or otherwise. The Company may hold or resell the Securities it purchases or may surrender them to the Trustee for cancellation.

a Resolution of the Shareholders of the Company. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 The Company shall provide notice of
redemption to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to when such notice of redemption shall be provided to the Holders. 
  

	SECTION 11.5	Notice of Redemption 

 Notice of
redemption pursuant to Section 11.1 and 11.2 hereof shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 1.5 hereof (with a copy of any such notices delivered to S&P and Fitch). The Trustee will notify the Holders at such Holder’s

and after said date, 

  

	 	(4)	the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, 


 

	 	(5)	the aggregate principal amount of Securities being redeemed,

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


  

	SECTION 11.6	Deposit of Redemption Price 

 On the
Business Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities which are to be repurchased on that date. 

  
 95 










	SECTION 11.7	Securities Payable on Redemption Date 


Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of
interest whose Maturity Date is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their
terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate provided by the Security.

	 	(2)	No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as subsections 5.1(f), (g), (h) and (i) are
concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 


 

	 	(3)	Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture. 


 

	 	(4)	The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for
relating to either the defeasance under Section 12.2 or the covenant defeasance under Section 12.3 (as the case may be) have been complied with. 

  


	 	(5)	In the case of an election under Section 12.2, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that (x) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable United States Federal income tax law, in either case to the
effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and
discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred. 


  
 98 










	 	(6)	In the case of an election under Section 12.3, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect that the
Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States 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. 

  

	 	(7)	The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit and defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in the
trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or such trust shall be qualified under such act or exempt from regulation thereunder. 


 

	 	(8)	The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in Brazil to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income,
gain or loss for Brazilian federal or state income tax or other tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, and will be subject to Brazilian federal and state income tax and other tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, had not occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, this condition may not be waived by any Holder
or the Trustee. 

  

	SECTION 12.5	Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions 


Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee—collectively, for purposes of this Section 12.5, the “Defeasance Trustee”) pursuant to Section 12.4 in respect of the Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the
Defeasance Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Defeasance Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall pay and indemnify the Defeasance Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 12.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the
Outstanding Securities. 

  
 99 









 Anything in this Article 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Defeasance Trustee shall deliver or pay to
the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 12.4 which, in the opinion of an internationally recognized accounting firm expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Defeasance Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance. 

 

	SECTION 12.6	Reinstatement 

 If the Defeasance Trustee
or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 12.2 or 12.3 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees, if any, shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 12 until such time as the Defeasance Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Sections 12.2 and 12.3; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) any Security following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Defeasance Trustee or the Paying Agent. 

 

	SECTION 12.7	Repayment to Company 

 Any money deposited
with the Defeasance Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any,
or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its written request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such security shall thereafter, as a creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Defeasance Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Defeasance Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice
that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

 ARTICLE 13 
 GUARANTEES 
  

	SECTION 13.1	Guarantees 

 Each of VPar, VCB and CBA
hereby jointly, severally, fully, absolutely and unconditionally guarantee on a senior unsecured basis to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, and for itself and the
Paying Agents, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Amounts) on such Security and all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture, when and as the same shall become
due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by acceleration, redemption, purchase or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of this Indenture; provided that the liability of each of VCB and CBA will be limited to
50% of the outstanding amount of the Securities. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any such payment, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and
payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. 
 The Guarantees constitute general senior unconditional and unsubordinated obligations of each of the Guarantors that will at all times rank at least equally with all other present and future unsecured
senior obligations of each such Guarantor, except for any obligations that may be preferred by provisions of law that are both mandatory and of general application. 
 Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Security or this Indenture, the absence of any
action to enforce the same, any release or amendment or waiver of any term of any other guarantee of, or any consent to depart from any requirement of any other guarantee, of all or any of the Securities, any waiver or consent by the Holder of any
Security or by the Trustee with respect to any provisions thereof or of this Indenture, the obtaining of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives notice of the acceptance of its Guarantee and of any of the obligations under this Indenture or the Securities (the “Obligations”) or of the accrual
thereof, and further waives presentment, protest, notice or demand. This is a continuing guarantee and is a guarantee of payment and not of collection, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to require the Holders to initiate collection
proceeds or otherwise enforce payment of the Obligations or any security or other guarantee therefore before obtaining payment hereunder. 
 The
Guarantees shall continue to be in effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Holders, whether by reason of the insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization or liquidation of the Company or any of the Guarantors or any other obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

  
 101









 Each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, any
requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person or any
collateral, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and
all demands whatsoever, and covenants, that these Guarantees will be discharged in respect of any Security except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in the Guarantees. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that,
in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security, whether at its Stated Maturity or by acceleration, redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf
of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this indenture, directly against any or ail of the Guarantors to enforce the Guarantees without first proceeding against the Company. Each of the Guarantors
agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Securities, to
collect interest on the Securities or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Securities, or the Trustee or the Holders are prevented from taking any action to realize on any collateral, each of the Guarantors agrees to
pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefore, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders. 

No provision of the Guarantees, Securities or of this Indenture shall alter or impair the Guarantees of the Guarantors, each of which is absolute and
unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) on the Security upon which each Guarantee is endorsed. 
 Each of the Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities upon which its Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by each of the Guarantors
on account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantees or this Indenture; provided, however, that none of the Guarantors shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such
right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) on all Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full. 
 The Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become
insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, 

  
 102









 
if at any time payment and performance of the obligations under the Securities is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
obligee on the Securities, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably waives all benefits set forth in the following provisions of the Brazilian law: articles 366, 368, 827, 830
(with respect to VPar only), 834, 835, 837 and 838 of the Brazilian Civil Code and article 595 of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code. 
 No
stockholder, officer, director, employer or incorporator, past, present or future, of any of the Guarantors, as such, shall have any personal liability under the Guarantees by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder, officer, director,
employer or incorporator. 
  

	SECTION 13.2	Delivery of the Guarantees 

 The delivery
of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantees set forth herein on behalf of the Guarantors. 

 

	SECTION 13.3	Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms 

 Except as may be provided in Section 13.4 and in Articles 8 and 10, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of any of the Guarantors
with or into the Company or any other Guarantors or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of any of the Guarantors as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or any other Guarantor. 

 

	SECTION 13.4	Release of Guarantors 

  

	(a)	Concurrently with any consolidation or merger of any of the Guarantors or any sale or conveyance of the property of any of the Guarantors as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, in each case as permitted by Section 13.3 hereof, and upon delivery) by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance was made in accordance with Section 13.3 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Securities
and under this Article 13. 

  

	(b)	Concurrently with the defeasance of the Securities under Section 12.2 hereof or the covenant defeasance of the Securities under Section 12.3 hereof, each of
the Guarantors shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Securities and under this Article 13.

interests, including, if proposed by the Company, the modification of the terms and conditions of the Securities; provided that any modification postponing the date for payment of any interest, reducing or canceling any amount of principal or
the rate of interest payable or altering the currency of payment in respect of the Securities will only be binding if passed at a meeting of Holders at which a special quorum (as set forth in Section 15.4) is present. 

 

	SECTION 15.2	Call, Notice and Place of Meetings 

  

	 	(1)	The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series for any purpose specified in Section 15.1, to be held at such time and at such

the Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders of Securities for any purpose specified in Section 15.1, by written request setting forth to reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the
first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities in the amount specified

entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel. 
  

	SECTION 15.4	Quorum; Action 

 The Persons entitled to
vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall constitute a “quorum” for a meeting of Holders of Securities, however, any modification postponing the date for payment of any interest, reducing or canceling any
amount of principal or the rate of interest payable or altering the currency of payment in respect of the Securities will only be binding if passed at a meeting of Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Securities (a “special
quorum”). In the absence of a quorum or a special quorum, as the case may be, within 15 minutes (or such longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the chairman may decide) of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall if

Holders of Securities unless such actions were approved by the minimum percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series as required elsewhere in this Indenture with respect to such actions. 

 

	SECTION 15.5	Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings 


 

	(a)	Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of

manner specified in Section 1.4 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid
and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.4 or other proof. 

  

	(b)	The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of
Securities as provided in Section 15.2(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

series held or represented by him or her; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding.
The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy. 

  

	(d)	Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 15.2 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons
entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.
