Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Common Depositary or impair, as between the Common Depositary and its Participants (as

determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

Stock Exchange’s website. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Transfer Agent, Registrar, co-Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes; provided, however, that neither

and 1096). 
 Subject to any applicable laws and regulations, the Issuer shall cause the Registrar to keep a register (the “Security
Register”) at its corporate trust office in which, subject to such reasonable regulations it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of ownership, exchange and transfer of the Notes. Such registration in the Security
Register shall be conclusive evidence of the ownership of Notes. Included in the books and records for the Notes shall be notations as to whether such Notes have been paid, exchanged or transferred, cancelled, lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed
and whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so replaced and the Note issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes,
the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so cancelled and the date on which such Note was cancelled.

that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.16) interest on the Notes (whether such
money has been paid to it by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Issuer at any time
may require a Paying Agent (to the extent such Paying Agent is not the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon
written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the
Trustee. If the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders

promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, in
writing no later than the Record Date for each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such Record Date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
Holders, including the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each Holder. 
 SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Where
Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange in
accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.06. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer’s order, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a 

  

 29 








 
like aggregate principal amount, at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
(except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any agency fee or similar charge and any stamp, issue, registration, court, documentation, excise or property taxes or similar taxes,
charges and duties (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) (collectively, “Fees, Charges and Taxes”) payable in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (other than any Fees, Charges and Taxes
payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) or (ii) or Section 3.01 or 9.05 or in accordance with an Excess Proceeds Offer pursuant to Section 4.11 or a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 4.13, not
involving a transfer. 
 Upon presentation for exchange or transfer of any Note as permitted by the terms of this Indenture and by any legend
appearing on such Note, such Note shall be exchanged or transferred upon the Security Register and one or more new Notes shall be authenticated and issued in the name of the Holder (in the case of exchanges only) or the transferee, as the case may
be. No exchange or transfer of a Note shall be effective under this Indenture unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person in the Security Register. Furthermore, the exchange or transfer of any Note shall not be
effective under this Indenture unless the request for such exchange or transfer is made by the Holder or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact at the office of the Registrar. 
 Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Registrar) be duly endorsed,
or be accompanied by a written instrument or transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer evidencing the same indebtedness,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Neither
the Issuer nor the Trustee, Registrar or any Paying Agent or Transfer Agent shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of 15 Business Days before the day of the
mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Common Depositary, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, or of any beneficial interest therein, shall only be made in accordance with
Section 2.01(c), Section 2.06(a) and this Section 2.06(b); provided, however, that a beneficial interest in a Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same
Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the restricted Note legend on the Note, if any. 
 (i)
Except for transfers or exchanges made in accordance with any of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2.06(b), transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to nominees
of the Common Depositary or to a successor of the Common Depositary or such successor’s nominee. 
  

 30 








 (ii) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If the holder of a
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note at any time wishes to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in the Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, such transfer or exchange may be effected only in accordance with this clause (ii) and the rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.
Upon receipt by the Registrar from the Transfer Agent of (A) instructions directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited an interest in the Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an
interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in such specified principal amount and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in
compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes and that the Note being transferred is being transferred (x) pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S or (y) in a transaction permitted by Rule 144, then the
Registrar shall instruct the Common Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note and the Common Depositary to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by
the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be exchanged. 
 (iii) Regulation S Global
Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If the holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note 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 Rule
144A Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this clause (iii) and the rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. Upon receipt by the Registrar from the Transfer Agent of (A) instructions directing the
Registrar to credit or cause to be credited an interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in the Regulation S Global Note in such specified principal amount and (B) a certificate
in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes and stating that
(x) the Person transferring such interest reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest is a QIB and is obtaining such interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws of any state
of the United States or (y) that the Person transferring such interest is relying on an exemption other than Rule 144A from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in such circumstances, such Opinion of Counsel as the Issuer or
the Trustee may reasonably request to ensure that the requested transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Registrar shall
instruct the Common Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note and to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the
interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred. 
  

 31 








 (iv) Global Notes to Certificated Notes. In the event that a Global Note is
exchanged for Notes in certificated, registered form pursuant to Section 2.11, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) above
(including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer and the
Trustee. 
 (c) If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the restricted Notes legends set forth in
Exhibit A hereto, the Notes so issued shall bear the restricted Notes legends, and a request to remove such restricted Notes legends from Notes shall not be honored unless there is delivered to the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may
include an Opinion of Counsel licensed to practice law in the State of New York, as may be reasonably required by the Issuer, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof
comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the direction of the Issuer, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear the legend. 

(d) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated certificated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder claims that the Note has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate a replacement Note in such form as the Note mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken if the Holder satisfies any
other reasonable requirements of the Trustee or the Issuer. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar and any co-Registrar and any authentication agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note,
including fees and expenses of counsel and any tax that may be imposed in replacing such Note. 
 Every replacement Note shall be an
additional obligation of the Issuer. 
 SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the
Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof
satisfactory to them that the Note that has been replaced is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in
trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to
be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
  

 32 








 SECTION 2.09. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the
Issuer may prepare, and the Trustee (or an authenticating agent on its behalf) shall authenticate, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate
for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare, and the Trustee (or an authenticating agent on its behalf) shall authenticate, definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be
entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. 
 SECTION 2.10. Notes Held by Issuer. In determining
whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer or by an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be
disregarded and treated as if they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this
Indenture, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer. 
 SECTION 2.11. Certificated Notes. (a) A Global Note deposited with the Common Depositary or other custodian for the Common Depositary pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of
certificated Notes only if such transfer complies with Section 2.06 and (i) Euroclear or Clearstream notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the
Issuer within 120 days, or (ii) if Euroclear or Clearstream so requests following an Event of Default hereunder, or (iii) in whole, but not in part, at any time if the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes should
be exchanged for certificated Notes, or (iv) if the owner of a Book-Entry Interest requests such exchange in writing delivered through either Euroclear or Clearstream following an Event of Default hereunder. Notice of any such transfer shall be
given by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02(a). 
 (b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial
owners thereof in the form of certificated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Transfer Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount at maturity of Notes of authorized denominations in the form of certificated Notes. Any portion of a Global Note transferred
or exchanged pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in registered form in denominations of €50,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 thereof and registered in such names as the Common
Depositary shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Note is not exchangeable except for a Global Note of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Common Depositary or its nominee. In the event that a Global Note becomes
exchangeable for certificated Notes, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the certificated Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the certificated Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained
for such purposes in accordance with Section 2.03. Such certificated Notes shall bear the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto. 
  

 33 








 (c) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.11(a), the Issuer
shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons. 
 SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, in accordance with its customary procedures, and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee’s retention policy) all
Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such cancelled Notes in its customary manner. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has
redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest. Any interest on any Note that is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture (all such interest herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 
 (a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes 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 Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall either (i) deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest; or (ii) 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. In addition, the Issuer shall fix
a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, such date to be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the proposed payment date and not less than 15 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment date. The Issuer shall promptly but, in any event, not less than 15 days prior to the special record date, notify the Trustee of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause
notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed first-class, postage prepaid to each Holder as such Holder’s address appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior
to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at
the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to clause (b) below. 
 (b) The Issuer may
make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment date pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed reasonably practicable. 
  

 34 








 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13, each Note delivered under this Indenture
upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 
 SECTION 2.14. [Reserved]. 
 SECTION
2.15. ISIN and Common Code Numbers. In issuing the Notes the Issuer may use ISIN and Common Code numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use ISIN and Common Code numbers, as appropriate, in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is made by the Trustee as to the correctness of such numbers or codes either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any change in the
ISIN or Common Code numbers. 
 SECTION 2.16. Issuance of Additional Notes. 
 (a) The Issuer shall issue Additional Notes under this Indenture as interest and Additional Amounts, as applicable, unless the Issuer elects to pay
interest or Additional Amounts in cash. The Additional Notes shall have identical terms as the Original Notes issued on the Issue Date, except that interest will begin to accrue from the date they are issued rather than the Issue Date. Any
Additional Notes issued as provided for herein and the Original Notes will be treated as a single class and as part of the same series for all purposes (including waivers, amendments, redemption and offers to purchase) under this Indenture and will
be equally and ratably secured by the same Collateral (as defined in Section 10.01) securing the Original Notes. 
 (b) With respect to
any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent: 
 (i) no later than the Record Date for
the relevant Interest Payment Date, a written notice setting forth the extent to which such interest payment will be made in the form of cash, if election is made to pay in cash, and if no such election is made, such interest payment shall otherwise
be payable in Additional Notes; and 
 (ii) no later than two Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date,
(i) if such Notes are in definitive form, the required amount of new definitive Additional Notes and an order to authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes or (ii) if such Notes are in global form, an order to increase the principal
amount of such Notes by the relevant amount (or, if necessary, to authenticate a new Global Note executed by the Issuer with such increased principal amounts). 
 (c) Any Additional Notes shall, after being executed and authenticated pursuant to Section 2.02, be (i) mailed to the person entitled thereto as shown on the register for the certificated Notes if the Notes
are then held in the form of certificated Notes as of the relevant Record Date, or (ii) deposited into the account specified by the Holder or Holders 

  

 35 








 
thereof as of the relevant Record Date if the Notes are held in global form. Alternatively, the Issuer may direct the Paying Agent to make the appropriate
amendments to the schedule of principal amounts of the relevant Global Notes outstanding and arrange for deposit into the account specified by the Holder or Holders thereof as of the relevant Record Date. Payment shall be made in such form and upon
such terms as specified herein and the Issuer shall and the Paying Agent may take additional steps as is necessary to effect such payment. 
 SECTION 2.17. Tax Treatment. The Issuer and by the purchase of a Note governed hereby each beneficial owner agree for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) to treat the Notes as indebtedness that is subject to U.S. Treasury
Regulations §1.1275-4(b) governing contingent payment debt instruments (the “Contingent Debt Regulations”), and (ii) to use the Issuer’s determination of the “comparable yield” and “projected payment
schedule,” within the meaning of the Contingent Debt Regulations, with respect to the Notes. 
  

 36 








 ARTICLE THREE 
 REDEMPTION; OFFERS TO PURCHASE 
 SECTION 3.01. Right of Redemption. The Issuer may redeem all or any
portion of the Notes upon the terms and at the Redemption Price set forth in the Notes and pursuant to the provisions of this Article Three. 
 SECTION 3.02. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 it shall notify the Trustee with a copy to the Paying Agent in writing of the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed and the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption shall occur. 
 The Issuer shall give each
notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.02 in writing at least 45 days before the date notice is mailed to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.04 unless the Trustee consents in writing to a shorter period. Such notice shall be
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer to the effect that such redemption shall comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Record Date relating to such redemption shall be selected by
the Issuer and given to the Trustee, which Record Date shall be not less than 15 days after the date of notice to the Trustee. 
 SECTION
3.03. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements, as certified to it by the Issuer, of the principal securities
exchange or automated quotation system, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed on a securities exchange or automated quotation system or are listed on a securities exchange or automated quotation system which does not
require or specify the manner in which the Notes to be redeemed are to be selected, pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no such partial
redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than €50,000. 
 The Trustee shall make the
selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions equal to €50,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Registrar promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption.

 SECTION 3.04. Notice of Redemption. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the
Issuer shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed and shall comply with the provisions of Section 12.02(b) and (d). If the Notes are at such time admitted to listing on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market, the Issuer shall inform the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of the principal amount of the Notes that have not been redeemed in connection with any optional redemption. 

(b) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including ISIN and Common Code numbers) and shall state: 
 (i) the Redemption Date; 
  

 37 








 (ii) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, and Additional
Amounts, if any, to be paid; 
 (iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (iv) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if
any, and Additional Amounts, if any; 
 (v) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount (equal
to €50,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of such Note to be redeemed and that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount at maturity
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be reissued; 
 (vi) that, if any Note contains a ISIN or Common Code number, no
representation is being made as to the correctness of such ISIN or Common Code number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Notes; 
 (vii) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on the Notes (or portion thereof)
called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (viii) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to
which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (ix) the Record Date with respect to the interest payment
date immediately preceding the Redemption Date. 
 At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give a notice of redemption in the
Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the notice and the other information required by this Section 3.04. 
 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the
Principal Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest and Additional Amounts,
if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have previously been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall return to the Issuer any money so
deposited that is not required for that purpose. 
 SECTION 3.06. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has
been given in the manner provided in Section 3.04, the Notes or portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price stated therein, together with accrued interest
to such Redemption Date, and on and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the 

  

 38 








 
rate prescribed in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of
redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date. 
 Notice of
redemption shall be deemed to be given when mailed, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. In any event, failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Notes held by
Holders to whom such notice was properly given. 
 SECTION 3.07. Notes Redeemed in Part. (a) Upon surrender of a Global Note that is
redeemed in part, the Paying Agent shall forward such Global Note to the Trustee who shall make a notation on the Security Register to reduce the principal amount of such Global Note to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Global Note
surrendered; provided, however, that each such Global Note shall be in a principal amount at final Stated Maturity of €50,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b) Upon surrender and cancellation of a certificated Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the
Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and cancelled; provided, however, that each such certificated Note shall be in a principal amount at final Stated
Maturity of €50,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. 
  

 39 








 ARTICLE FOUR 
 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 4.01. Payment of Notes. The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of the
Holders that it shall duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, interest

with this Indenture, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.16) interest and Additional Amounts, if any then due. If the Issuer or any of its Affiliates acts as Paying Agent, principal, premium, if
any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be considered paid on the due date if the entity acting as Paying Agent complies with Section 2.04. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 SECTION 4.02. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Five, the Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary shall do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided
that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise if the board of directors of the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and the
Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
 SECTION 4.03.
Maintenance of Properties. The Issuer shall cause all properties owned by it or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to be
maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the
Issuer may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, that nothing in this Section 4.03 shall prevent the Issuer from discontinuing the maintenance
of any such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Issuer, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

 SECTION 4.04. Insurance. The Issuer shall cause Invitel and each Restricted Subsidiary of Invitel to maintain insurance with
carriers believed by Invitel to be responsible, against such risks and in such amounts, and with such deductibles, retentions, self-insured amounts and coinsurance provisions, as Invitel believes are customarily carried by businesses similarly
situated and owning like properties, including as appropriate general liability, property and casualty loss and interruption of business insurance.

stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of its duties as an officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period and if
any specifying such Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposed to take with respect thereto. For purposes of this Section 4.05(a), such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or

contingently or otherwise, the payment of (individually and collectively, to “incur” or, as appropriate, an “incurrence”), any Debt (including any Acquired Debt); provided, however, that the Company and any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (including a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company upon the incurrence of such Debt) will be permitted to incur Debt (including Acquired Debt) if (a) after giving effect to the
incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default would occur or be continuing and (b) at the time of such incurrence and after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt
and the application of the proceeds thereof, on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be less than 5.25 to 1.00. 
 (b) This Section 4.06 shall not, however, prohibit the following (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 
 (i) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Debt under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal
amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed €165 million minus the amount of any permanent repayments or prepayments of any such Debt, in each case, with the proceeds of Asset Sales made in accordance with Section 4.11 (but only
to the extent of any corresponding commitment reduction if such Debt is revolving credit borrowings); 
 (ii) the incurrence
by the Issuer of Debt pursuant to the Notes and Additional Notes issued in payment of accrued interest on the Notes; 
 (iii)
any Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than Debt described in another clause of this Section 4.06(b)) outstanding on the Issue Date; 
  

 41 








 (iv) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of
intercompany Debt between the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that 
 (A) if the Issuer is the obligor on any such Debt, such Debt is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes upon any insolvency event; and 
 (B) (x) any disposition, pledge or transfer of any such Debt to a Person (other than a disposition, pledge or transfer to the Issuer or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) and (y) any transaction pursuant to which any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that has Debt owing to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Issuer, will, in each case, be deemed to be an incurrence of such Debt not permitted by this clause (B); 
 (v) the incurrence
by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Debt arising from agreements providing for guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets,
including, without limitation, shares of Capital Stock, other than guarantees or similar credit support given by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary of Debt incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such assets for the purpose
of financing such acquisition, provided that (A) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Debt permitted pursuant to this clause (v) will at no time exceed the gross proceeds, including non-cash proceeds (the Fair Market
Value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received from the sale of such assets and (B) such Debt is not reflected in the balance sheet of the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (contingent liabilities referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet shall not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of
this clause (B)); 
 (vi) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of Debt under Currency
Agreements not entered into for speculative purposes; 
 (vii) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of
Debt under Interest Rate Agreements not entered into for speculative purposes; 
 (viii) the incurrence of Debt by the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in respect of workers’ compensation and claims arising under similar legislation, or pursuant to self-insurance obligations and not in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of
advances or credit; 
 (ix) the incurrence of Debt by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary arising from (A) the
honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Debt is
extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence, (B) bankers’ acceptances, performance, surety, judgment, appeal or similar bonds, instruments or obligations, or (C) completion guarantees provided or letters of credit obtained by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in the ordinary course of business; 
  

 42 








 (x) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of Permitted
Refinancing Debt in exchange for or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, replace or refinance Debt incurred by it pursuant to, or described in, Sections 4.06(a) and 4.06(b)(i) and (iii), as the case may be; 
 (xi) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of Debt to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are
promptly (A) deposited (or, in the case of an incurrence by such Restricted Subsidiary, dividended, lent or otherwise distributed to the Issuer and deposited) to defease or satisfy and discharge the Notes or (B) used to purchase Notes
tendered in a Change of Control Offer made as a result of a Change of Control; 
 (xii) Guarantees of (or the amount of any
other credit support with respect to) Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries issued or provided by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries provided that such Debt is permitted to be incurred by another provision of this
Section 4.06); and 
 (xiii) the incurrence of Debt by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other
than and in addition to Debt permitted under Sections 4.06(b)(i) through (xii) above) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the greater of €25 million or 5% of the total assets of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; 
 provided that, except to the extent specifically set forth in Section 4.06(b),
Restricted Subsidiaries, other than the Company, will not be entitled to incur Public Debt. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance
with any restriction on the incurrence of Debt in euros where Debt is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Debt will be the Euro Equivalent determined on the date of such determination, provided that if any such Debt denominated
in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement (with respect to euros) covering principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Debt, the amount of such Debt expressed in euros will be adjusted to take into account the effect of
such agreement. The principal amount of any Permitted Refinancing Debt incurred in the same currency as the Debt being refinanced will be the Euro Equivalent of the Debt refinanced determined on the date such Debt being refinanced was initially
incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.06, for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.06, increases in Debt solely due to fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies will be deemed not to
exceed the maximum amount that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur under this Section 4.06. 
 (d) For purposes of
determining any particular amount of Debt under this Section 4.06: 
 (i) obligations with respect to letters of credit,
guarantees or Liens, in each case supporting Debt otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount will not be included; and 
 (ii) accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the amortisation of original issue discount, the obligation to pay commitment fees and the payment of regularly scheduled interest in
the form of additional Debt of the same instrument or dividends on Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock of 

  

 43 








 
Restricted Subsidiaries paid in additional shares of Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, will not be treated as Debt.

 (e) In the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described under this Section 4.06
(including Section 4.06(a)) the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify items of Debt and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of such clauses, and the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an
item of Debt in more than one of the types of Debt described under this Section 4.06 (including Section 4.06(a)), and may change the classification of an item of Debt (or any portion thereof) to any other type of Debt described under this
Section 4.06 at any time. 
 SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions (each of which is a “Restricted Payment” and which are collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”): 
 (i) declare or pay any dividend on or make any distribution (whether made in cash, securities or other property) with respect to any of
the Issuer’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Capital Stock (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) (other than
(A) to the Issuer or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or (B) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, to all holders of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary on a pro rata basis or on a basis that results in the
receipt by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of dividends or distributions of greater value than the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary would receive on a pro rata basis) except for dividends or distributions payable solely in shares of the
Issuer’s Qualified Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to acquire such shares of Qualified Capital Stock; 
 (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation), directly or indirectly, any shares of the Issuer’s Capital Stock or any Capital Stock of
any Affiliate of the Issuer held by persons other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than Capital Stock of any such Restricted Subsidiary or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as a result
thereof) or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire such shares of Capital Stock; 
 (iii) make any principal payment
on, or repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled principal payment, sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated Shareholder Funding or Subordinated Debt (other than the purchase, defeasance
or other acquisition of Subordinated Debt purchased in anticipation of satisfying a principal installment, sinking fund obligation or final maturity, in each case due within one year of such purchase, defeasance or other acquisition); 
 (iv) make any interest payment on Subordinated Shareholder Funding; or 
 (v) make any Investment (other than any Permitted Investment) in any Person. 
  

 44 








 If any Restricted Payment described above is not made in cash, the amount of the proposed Restricted
Payment will be the Fair Market Value of the asset to be transferred as of the date of transfer. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.07(a)
above, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may make a Restricted Investment (other than an Investment in a Parent of the Issuer) if, at the time of and after giving pro forma effect to such proposed Restricted Investment:

 (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted
Investment; 
 (ii) the Company could incur at least €1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) pursuant to
Section 4.06; and 
 (iii) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Investments declared or made after the Issue Date does
not exceed the sum of: 
 (A) 50% of the Issuer’s aggregate Consolidated Adjusted Net Income on a cumulative basis during
the period beginning on the first day of the fiscal quarter commencing immediately after the Issue Date and ending on the last day of the Issuer’s last fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such proposed Restricted Investment (or, if such
aggregate cumulative Consolidated Adjusted Net Income shall be a negative number, minus 100% of such negative amount); plus 
 (B) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Issuer from the issuance or sale of its Qualified Capital Stock or Subordinated Shareholder Funding subsequent to the date of this Indenture (excluding in each case Net Cash
Proceeds from issuances or sales to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or to an employee stock ownership plan or a trust established by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees to the extent funded by the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries and also excluding any such Net Cash Proceeds comprising funds borrowed from the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer until and to the extent such borrowing is repaid) and 100% of any cash capital contribution received by
the Issuer from its shareholders after the date of this Indenture; plus 
 (C) the amount by which Debt of the Issuer or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer is reduced on the Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange after the date of this Indenture of any Debt of the Issuer convertible or exchangeable for Qualified Capital Stock of the
Issuer or Subordinated Shareholder Funding (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of any other property, distributed by the Issuer upon such conversion or exchange); provided, however, that the foregoing amount shall not exceed the
Net Cash Proceeds received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer from the sale of such Debt and upon such conversion or exchange (excluding in each case Net Cash Proceeds from sales to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or to an employee
stock ownership plan or a trust established by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees to the extent funded by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and also 

  

 45 








 
excluding any such Net Cash Proceeds comprising funds borrowed from the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer until and to the extent such
borrowing is repaid); plus 
 (D) an amount equal to the sum without duplication of amounts otherwise included in the
calculation under this clause (iii) of (x) the net reduction in the Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in any Person resulting from repurchases, repayments or
redemptions of such Investments by such Person, proceeds realized on the sale of such Investment and proceeds representing the return of capital (including dividends and distributions), in each case received by the Issuer or any such Restricted
Subsidiary of the Issuer and, in the case of any such Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) that is a guarantee made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to any Person (other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Issuer), an amount equal to the amount of such guarantee upon the full and unconditional release of such guarantee, and (y) in the case of a designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, the portion
(proportionate to the Issuer’s equity interest in such Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated as a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Issuer, provided that such amount will not in any case exceed the amount of the Restricted Payment that was deemed to be made at the time that the Subsidiary was designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; less 
 (E) any amounts resulting from actions described in clauses (v), (vi), (vii) and (x) of Section 4.07(c). 
 (c) Notwithstanding Section 4.06(a) and (b), the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer may take the following actions so long as
(except with respect to clauses (i), (vi) and (ix) of this Section 4.06(c)) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: 
 (i) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any shares of the Issuer’s Capital Stock or options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock in exchange for (including
any such exchange pursuant to the exercise of a conversion right or privilege in connection with which cash is paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares or scrip), or out of the Net Cash Proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and
sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees to the extent funded by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries
and also excluding any such Net Cash Proceeds comprising funds borrowed from the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer until and to the extent such borrowing is repaid) of, shares of the Issuer’s Qualified Capital Stock or options,
warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock; 
 (ii) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or
retirement for value or payment of principal of any Subordinated Debt or Subordinated Shareholder Funding in exchange for, or out of the Net Cash Proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or
an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees to the extent funded by the Issuer or any of its 

  

 46 








 
Subsidiaries and also excluding any such Net Cash Proceeds comprising funds borrowed from the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary until and to the extent
such borrowing is repaid) of, shares of the Issuer’s Qualified Capital Stock or Subordinated Shareholder Funding; 
 (iii) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Debt (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) in exchange for, or out of the Net Cash Proceeds of a substantially concurrent incurrence
(other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) of, Permitted Refinancing Debt; 
 (iv) the repurchase of Capital Stock
deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options with respect to which payment of the cash exercise price has been forgiven if the cumulative aggregate value of such deemed repurchases does not exceed the cumulative aggregate amount of the
exercise price of such options received; 
 (v) payments or distributions to dissenting shareholders pursuant to applicable
law in connection with or in contemplation of a merger, consolidation or transfer of assets that complies with the provisions of this Indenture relating to mergers, consolidations or transfers of substantially all of the Issuer’s assets;

 (vi) cash payments in lieu of issuing fractional shares pursuant to the exchange or conversion of any exchangeable or
convertible securities; 
 (vii) management and consulting fees paid to the Permitted Holders or any Affiliate thereof not to
exceed €1.0 million per year; 
 (viii) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series
of Redeemable Capital Stock, or of any Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued in accordance with Section 4.06; 
 (ix) the declaration and payment of dividends or the purchases of Capital Stock of the Issuer and other payments to shareholders and/or management with the net proceeds received by the Issuer from the sale of the Notes; and 
 (x) any other Restricted Investment, provided that the total aggregate amount of Restricted Investments made under this clause
(x) does not exceed €8 million. 
 The actions described in clauses (v), (vi), (vii) and (x) of this Section 4.07(c)
are Restricted Payments that, although permitted to be made in accordance with this Section 4.07(c), will reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Investments under Section 4.07(b)(iii) above. 
 SECTION 4.08. Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, and will not permit such Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary (including options, warrants or other 

  

 47 








 
rights to purchase shares of such Capital Stock). The foregoing sentence, however, shall not apply to: 
 (i) any issuance or sale of shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary; 
 (ii) any issuance or sale to directors of directors’ qualifying shares or issuances or sales of shares of
Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer to be held by third parties, in each case to the extent required by applicable law; 
 (iii) any issuance or sale of shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance or sale, such Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer would no longer
constitute a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer and any remaining Investment in such Person would have been permitted to be made under Section 4.07 if made on the date of such issuance or sale; and 
 (iv) any cancellation of the shares of Capital Stock of Invitel held by Invitel. 
 For the purposes of this Section 4.08, the creation of a Lien on any Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to secure Debt of any
such Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be a violation of this Section 4.08; provided, however, that any sale or other disposition (other than in accordance with this Indenture) by the secured party of Capital Stock subject to such
Lien following foreclosure of its Lien will be subject to this Section 4.08. 
 SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Transactions with
Affiliates. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale,
purchase, exchange or lease of assets or property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service), with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer or of any Restricted Subsidiary unless: 
 (i) such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with third parties that are not Affiliates; 
 (ii) with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or the transfer of assets or provision
of services, in each case having a value greater than €10 million, the Issuer (or if the Issuer’s board of directors does not consist of natural persons, Invitel) will deliver a resolution of its board of directors (set out in an
Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee) resolving that such transaction complies with clause (i) of this Section 4.09(a) and that the fairness of such transaction has been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors (or in the
event there is only one Disinterested Director, by such Disinterested Director) of the board of directors of the Issuer (or if the Issuer’s board of directors does not consist of natural persons, of Invitel); and 
  

 48 








 (iii) with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions involving
aggregate payments or the transfer of assets or the provision of services, in each case having a value greater than €20 million, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee a written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee,
of an investment banking firm, appraisal firm or accounting firm of international standing stating that the transaction or series of transactions is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view, or is not less
favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this description will not apply to: 
 (i) customary directors’ fees, indemnification and similar arrangements (including the payment of directors’ and officers’
insurance premiums), consulting fees, employee salaries, bonuses, employment agreements and arrangements, compensation or employee benefit arrangements, including stock options or legal fees, so long as the board of directors of the Issuer (or if
the Issuer’s board of directors does not consist of natural persons, of Invitel) has approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore or thereafter to be performed for such compensation or payments to be fair consideration
therefor; 
 (ii) any Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 4.07 (but only to the extent included in the
calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments made pursuant to such Section 4.07, or the making of an Investment that is a Permitted Investment), but not a Permitted Investment under clause (c)(iii) of the definition of Permitted Investment;

 (iii) loans and advances (but not any forgiveness of such loans or advances) to the Issuer’s or any Restricted
Subsidiary’s officers, directors and employees for travel, entertainment, moving and other relocation expenses, in each case made in the ordinary course of business provided that such loans and advances do not exceed €2.0 million in
the aggregate at any one time outstanding; 
 (iv) agreements and arrangements existing on the date of this Indenture and any
amendment, modification or supplement thereto, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement to the terms thereof is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes and to the Issuer or Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, in
any material respect than the original agreement or arrangement as in effect on the date of this Indenture and provided, further, that such amendment or modification is (A) on a basis substantially similar to that which would be conducted in an
arm’s-length transaction with third parties who are not Affiliates of the Issuer and (B) in the case of any transaction having a Fair Market Value of greater than €10.0 million, approved by the board of directors of the Issuer
(or if the Issuer’s board of directors does not consist of natural persons, of Invitel) (including a majority of the Disinterested Directors); 
 (v) any payments or other transactions pursuant to a tax sharing agreement between the Issuer and any other Person with which the Issuer files a consolidated tax return or with which the Issuer is part of a
consolidated group for tax purposes or any tax advantageous group contribution made pursuant to applicable legislation; 
  

 49 








 (vi) the issuance of securities pursuant to, or for the purpose of the funding of,
employment arrangements, stock options, and stock ownership plans, as long as the terms thereof are or have been previously approved by the board of directors of the Issuer (or if the Issuer’s board of directors does not consist of natural
persons, of Invitel); 
 (vii) the granting and performance of registration rights for the Issuer’s securities;

 (viii) the issuance of any Subordinated Shareholder Funding; and 
 (ix) transactions between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer.

 SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Liens. The Issuer will not directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of
any kind (except for Permitted Liens) or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive any income, profits or proceeds on or with respect to any of the Issuer’s property or assets, including any shares or stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of
the Issuer, to the extent held by the Issuer, whether owned at or acquired after the date of this Indenture, or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom. 
 SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Sale of Certain Assets. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale unless: 
 (i) the consideration the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives for such Asset Sale is not less than the Fair Market Value of the
assets sold; 
 (ii) at least 75% of the consideration the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives in respect of such
Asset Sale consists of (A) cash (including any Net Cash Proceeds received from the conversion within 60 days of such Asset Sale of securities, notes or other obligations received in consideration of such Asset Sale); (B) Cash Equivalents;
(C) the assumption by the purchaser of (x) the Issuer’s Debt or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than Subordinated Debt) as a result of which neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries remains
obligated in respect of such Debt or (y) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, if the Issuer and each other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer is released from
any guarantee of such Debt as a result of such Asset Sale; or (D) a combination of the consideration specified in clauses (A) to (C); and 
 (iii) the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Asset Sale complies with the provisions described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii); and 
 (b) If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer consummates an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds of the Asset Sale, within 365 days after
the consummation of such Asset Sale, may be used by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to (i) permanently repay or prepay any Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (and to effect a corresponding commitment reduction if any such
amounts are prepaid or repaid under the revolving credit portion of a Credit Facility) owing to a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, or (ii) invest in any Replacement Assets, or (iii) any 

  

 50 








 
combination of the foregoing. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth in this Section 4.11(b) constitutes “Excess
Proceeds”. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the terms of this
Indenture. 
 (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds that are not applied as provided in Section 4.11(b) within 365 days after
the consummation of an applicable Asset Sale exceeds €10 million, or on such earlier date as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion, the Issuer will, within 30 Business Days, make an offer to purchase (an “Excess Proceeds
Offer”) from all holders of Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, the maximum principal amount (in minimum lots of €50,000 and multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof) of the Notes that may be
purchased with the amount of the Excess Proceeds; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be obligated to make an Excess Proceeds Offer or purchase the Notes to the extent the application of proceeds required by such Excess Proceeds Offer
would cause a default under the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities or the Existing Notes. The offer price as to each Note will be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Note plus in each case accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase. 
 To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Excess
Proceeds Offer is less than the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use the amount of such Excess Proceeds not used to purchase Notes for general corporate purposes that are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the
aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by Holders thereof exceeds the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased will be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method
as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate (based upon the principal amount of Notes tendered by each Holder). Upon completion of each such Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

 (d) If the Issuer is obligated to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will purchase the Notes, at the option of the Holders thereof,
in whole or in part in minimum lots of €50,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof, on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date the notice of the Excess Proceeds Offer is given to such
Holders, or such later date as may be required under the Exchange Act. 
 If the Issuer is required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the
Issuer will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and regulations, including any securities laws of the Netherlands Antilles and the requirements of any
applicable securities exchange on which Notes are then listed. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will be deemed not to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

 51 








 (b) The Issuer will not permit the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to enter
into any sale and leaseback transaction with respect to any property or assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), unless: 
 (i) the sale or transfer of such property or assets to be leased is treated as an Asset Sale and such Restricted Subsidiary complies with Section 4.11, including the provisions concerning the application of Net Cash Proceeds (treating
all of the consideration received in such sale and leaseback transaction as Net Cash Proceeds for the purposes of such covenant); 
 (ii) such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to incur Debt under Section 4.06 in the amount of the Attributable Debt incurred in respect of such sale and leaseback transaction; 
 (iii) such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to grant a Lien to secure Debt under Section 4.10 in the amount of the
Attributable Debt in respect of such sale and leaseback transaction; and 
 (iv) in the case of any sale and leaseback
transaction having a Fair Market Value greater than €10.0 million, the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Issuer’s board of
directors and set out in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the trustee, of the property that is the subject of such sale and leaseback transaction. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company from engaging in a sale and leaseback transaction solely between or among the Company and/or Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Company. 
 SECTION 4.13. Change of Control. (a) If a Change of Control occurs at any time, then the Issuer must
make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to purchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole or in part in denominations of €50,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof, at a purchase
price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase
Date”) (subject to the rights of Holders of record on relevant regular Record Dates that are prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date to receive interest due on an interest payment date). 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will: 
 (i) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be published (A) through the newswire service of Bloomberg, or if Bloomberg does
not then operate, any similar agency; and (B) if at the time of such notice the Notes are admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange so require, in the Luxemburger Wort (or another leading newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg) or on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s website (www.bourse.lu); and 
 (ii) send notice of the Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of
such Holder appearing in the security register, which notice will state: 
  

 52 








 (iii) that a Change of Control has occurred, and the date it occurred; 
 (A) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control (including, but not limited to, applicable information with
respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization after giving effect to the Change of Control); 
 (B) the
Change of Control Purchase Price and the Change of Control Purchase Date, which will be a business day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements
under the Exchange Act and any applicable securities laws or regulations; 
 (C) that any Note accepted for payment pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date unless the Change of Control Purchase Price is not paid; 
 (D) that any Note (or part thereof) not tendered will continue to accrue interest; and 
 (E) any other procedures that a Holder of Notes must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw such acceptance (which
procedures may also be performed at the office of the paying agent in Luxembourg as long as the Notes are admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market). 
 (c) The Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver a new Note or Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of Notes surrendered, if
any, to the Holder of Notes in global form or to each holder of certificated Notes; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of €50,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will publicly
announce the results of a Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date. 
 (d) The Issuer
will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if: 
 (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control
Offer; or 
 (ii) the Issuer has unconditionally exercised its rights to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Article Three and
all conditions to such redemption have been satisfied or waived. 
 (e) The Issuer will comply with the applicable tender offer rules,
including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and regulations (including those of The Netherlands Antilles) in connection with a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed not to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

  

 53 








 SECTION 4.14. Additional Amounts. (a) All payments that the Issuer makes under or with respect to
the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and other
similar liabilities related thereto) of whatever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which the Issuer is incorporated, organized, engaged in business (where such Tax is imposed by
reason of the Issuer being engaged in business) or otherwise resident for tax purposes or from or through which any of the foregoing makes any payment on the Notes or by or within any department or political subdivision thereof having power to tax
(each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration of law. If the Issuer is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on
account of Taxes of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount
received by each Holder of the Notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will be not less than the amount the Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted. Such Additional
Amounts may be paid by the Issuer, at its option, in the form of cash or Additional Notes. 
 (b) The Issuer will not, however, pay
Additional Amounts in respect or on account of: 
 (i) any Taxes that are imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction
by reason of a present or former connection of a Holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if the Holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) or a beneficial
owner with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt or holding of Notes or by reason of the receipt of payments thereunder or the exercise or enforcement of rights under any Notes or this Indenture); 
 (ii) any Taxes that are imposed or levied by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of Notes, following the Issuer’s
written request addressed to the Holder (and made at a time which would enable the Holder or beneficial owner acting reasonably to comply with that request), to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting
requirements which the Holder or such beneficial owner is legally required to satisfy, whether imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in
the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction); 
 (iii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar taxes; 
 (iv) any Tax which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to the Notes;

  

 54 








 (v) any Tax that is imposed or levied by reason of the presentation (where presentation
is required in order to receive payment) of such Notes for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the
extent that the beneficial owner or Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30 day period; 
 (vi) any Tax imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Issuer to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or person
other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such Holder been the sole beneficial owner of such Note; 
 (vii) any Tax that is imposed on or with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such
withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Notes to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union; 
 (viii) any withholding or deduction in respect of any Taxes where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive
implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26–27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or 
 (ix) any combination of the above. 
 (c) The Issuer will (i) make such withholding or deduction as is required by applicable law and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance
with applicable law. 
 (d) At least 30 calendar days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and
payable, if the Issuer will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Notes is due
and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other
information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. The Issuer will promptly publish a notice in accordance with Section 12.02 stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and
describing the obligation to pay such amounts. 
 (e) Upon request, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee or the Holder certified copies of
tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes by the Issuer in such form as provided in the normal course by the taxing authority imposing such Taxes and as is reasonably available to the Issuer. If notwithstanding the efforts of the Issuer to
obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, the Issuer will provide the Trustee or such Holder other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee or the Holder of such payments by the Issuer. 
  

 55 








 (f) In addition, the Issuer shall pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court,
documentation, excise or property taxes or other similar taxes, charges and duties, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of the execution, issue, delivery or registration of
the Notes or any other document or instrument referred to thereunder (other than in respect of the execution, issue, delivery or registration of Notes pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.07 or 2.11(a)(iv)) and any such taxes, charges or duties imposed
by any jurisdiction as a result of, or in connection with, the enforcement of the Notes and/or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer shall agree to indemnify
the Holders for any such taxes paid by such Holders. 
 (g) The obligations described under this Section 4.14 will apply mutatis
mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any Surviving Entity or successor person to the Issuer is incorporated, organized, engaged in business or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.
Whenever this Indenture refers to, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such reference includes the payment of Additional Amounts, if applicable.

 SECTION 4.15. Designation of Unrestricted and Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Issuer’s board of directors may designate any
Subsidiary (other than Matel Holdings, the Company or Invitel but including newly acquired or newly established Subsidiaries) to be an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” only if: 
 (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such designation; 
 (ii) the Issuer would be permitted to make an Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) at the time of designation (assuming the
effectiveness of such designation) pursuant to Section 4.07(b) in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s interest in such Subsidiary; 
 (iii) the Company would be permitted under this Indenture to incur €1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) pursuant to
Section 4.06 at the time of such designation (assuming the effectiveness of such designation); 
 (iv) neither the Issuer
nor any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer has a contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or obligation of any kind, whether written or oral, with such Subsidiary unless the terms of such contract, arrangement, understanding or obligation
are no less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Issuer or of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; 
 (v) such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock, Redeemable Capital Stock or Debt of, or own or hold any Lien on any property or assets
of, or have any Investment in, the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; 
 (vi) such Subsidiary is not
liable, directly or indirectly, with respect to any Debt, Lien or other obligation that, if in default, would result (with the passage of time or notice or otherwise) in a default on any of the Issuer’s Debt or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary
of the Issuer, provided that an Unrestricted Subsidiary may provide a Guarantee for the Notes; 
  

 56 








 (vii) such Subsidiary, either alone or in the aggregate with all other Unrestricted
Subsidiaries, does not operate, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries; and 
 (viii) such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation to: 
 (A) subscribe for additional Capital Stock of such Person; or 
 (B) maintain or preserve such Person’s financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve any specified levels of operating
results. 
 In the event of any such designation, the Issuer will be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment
pursuant to Section 4.07 for all purposes of this Indenture in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s interest in such Subsidiary. 
 (b) Neither the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer shall at any time: 
 (i)
provide a guarantee of, or similar credit support to, any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including of any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Debt), except to the extent permitted under Sections 4.06, 4.07 and 4.09; provided
that the Issuer may pledge Capital Stock or Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary on a nonrecourse basis as long as the pledgee has no claim whatsoever against the Issuer other than to obtain such pledged property; 
 (ii) be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, except to the extent permitted under Sections 4.07 and
4.09; or 
 (iii) be directly or indirectly liable for any other Debt that provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice,
lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon (or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity) upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any other Debt that is Debt of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary (including any corresponding right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary). 
 (c) The Issuer’s
board of directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer if: 
 (i) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of or will occur and be continuing after giving effect to such designation; and 
 (ii) unless such redesignated Subsidiary shall not have any Debt outstanding (other than Debt that would be Permitted Debt), immediately before and after giving effect to such proposed designation, and after giving
pro forma effect to the incurrence of any such Debt of such redesignated Subsidiary as if such Debt was incurred on the date of the redesignation, the Company could incur €1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) pursuant to
Section 4.06. 
  

 57 








 Any such designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary by the Issuer’s board of
directors will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing a resolution of the Issuer’s board of directors with the Trustee giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the
foregoing conditions, and giving the effective date of such designation. Any such filing with the Trustee must occur within 45 days after the end of the Issuer’s fiscal quarter in which such designation is made (or, in the case of a designation
made during the last fiscal quarter of the Issuer’s fiscal year, within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year). 
 SECTION 4.16.

market or (b) the listing of the Notes on another international securities exchange, in each case, for so long as the Notes are outstanding. 
 SECTION 4.17. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Issuer shall pay or discharge and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent: (a) all
material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon (i) the Issuer or any such Subsidiary, (ii) the income or profits of any such Subsidiary which is a corporation or (iii) the property of the Issuer or any
such Subsidiary and (b) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Issuer or any such Subsidiary; provided, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay or
discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established.

 SECTION 4.18. Reports to Holders. (a) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee (who, at the
Issuer’s expense, will then furnish by mail to Holders of the Notes): 
 (i) within 120 days following the end of each of
the Issuer’s fiscal years, an annual report containing substantially the same information as would be required to be contained in an annual report filed with the Commission on Form 20-F (as in effect on 6 August 2004), including annual
audited condensed balance sheets, statements of income, statements of shareholders equity, and statements of cash flows (with notes thereto) for the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the year then ended and the prior fiscal

of such quarter), quarterly reports containing unaudited condensed balance sheets, statements of income, statements of shareholders equity and statements of cash 

  

 58

fiscal year and prepared in accordance with GAAP, which need not, however, contain any reconciliation to U.S. GAAP or otherwise comply with Regulation S-X as promulgated under the Securities Act, together with an operating and financial review for
such quarterly period and condensed footnote disclosure; and 
 (iii) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an
event required to be reported therein, such other reports containing substantially the same information required to be contained in Items (1) through (6) of Form 8-K (or any successor form) of the Commission.

 (c) In addition, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, upon the request of such
Holders, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Exchange Act by Persons who are not “affiliates” under the Securities Act.

 (d) If any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the annual and quarterly financial information referred
to above will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on its face or in the footnotes thereto, and in the operating and financial review, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries
separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 (e) The Issuer shall also
make available copies of all reports furnished to the Trustee (i) on Invitel’s website; (ii) through the newswire service of Bloomberg, or, if Bloomberg does not then operate, any similar agency; and (iii) if and so long as the

available at the specified office of the paying agent in Luxembourg. 
 SECTION 4.19 Impairment of Security Interest. (a) The Issuer
will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the
Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee and 

  

 59 








 
the Holders of the Notes, and the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, grant to any Person other than the Security
Trustee, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the other beneficiaries described in the Security Document, any interest whatsoever in any of the Collateral, except as permitted in the Security Document; provided,
however, that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer may incur Permitted Liens with respect to any Collateral.

supplement, modification or renewal, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, either: 
 (i) a solvency opinion, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, from an investment banking firm, appraisal firm or accounting firm of international standing confirming the solvency of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to any transactions

 (ii) an opinion of
counsel acceptable to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and qualifications), confirming that, after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal,

 (c) The Issuer will ensure that any registration
requirements of the Netherlands Antilles necessary to complete and/or perfect the security provided under the Security Document will be completed promptly after the execution thereof. 
 (d) In the event that the execution of the Security Document results in some subsequent obligations on the parties thereto, the Issuer will take all
necessary steps to ensure full and complete compliance with such obligations and indemnify the Security Trustee in relation to any and all liabilities relating to the Security Document and incurred by the Security Trustee without willful misconduct,

transaction), no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing; 
 (iii) immediately before and immediately

 (b) The Surviving Entity (other than the Issuer) shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under this Indenture, but the predecessor company in the case of the lease of all the assets of the Issuer as an entirety or substantially as an entirety shall
not be released from any of its payment obligations under this Indenture. 
 (c) Nothing in this Indenture will prevent (x) any Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary from consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or substantially all of its property and assets to the Issuer or any other Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or (y) the Issuer from merging into an Affiliate
holding 100% of its Capital Stock which was incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction to realize tax or other benefits so long as, in the case of clause (y), the requirements of paragraphs (i),
(ii) and (iii) of Section 5.01(a) are satisfied and the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and qualifications) to the effect that
Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes or in the Netherlands Antilles as a result of such merger and will be subject to U.S. federal and Netherlands Antilles income tax on the
same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such merger had not occurred. 
 (d) Although there
is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “all or substantially all”, there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as
to whether a particular transaction would involve “all or substantially all” of the property or assets of a Person. 
 (e) The
Issuer will publish a notice of any consolidation, merger or sale of assets described above in accordance with Section 12.02 and, so long as the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, notify such exchange of any such consolidation,
merger or sale and file supplemental listing particulars.

 (vii) default under the terms of any instrument evidencing or securing the
Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer having an outstanding principal amount in excess of €15 million individually or in the aggregate, if that default: (x) results in the acceleration of the payment of such

payment has not been waived or the maturity of such Debt has not been extended, and in either case the total amount of such Debt unpaid or accelerated exceeds €15 million or its equivalent at the time; 
 (viii) one or more final judgments, orders or decrees (not subject to appeal and not covered by insurance) shall be rendered against the

the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; and 
 (xi) the security interest under the Security Document shall not constitute a valid Lien or shall, at any time, other than in accordance
with their terms, cease to be in full force and effect for any reason other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under this Indenture, discharge of this Indenture or the release of such security interests in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture, or any security interest created thereunder shall be declared invalid or unenforceable, or the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary thereof or any Affiliate thereof shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction,
that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable. 
 (b) If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known
to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to each Holder of the Notes notice of the Default or Event of Default within 30 Business Days after its occurrence. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if
any, Additional Amounts or interest on any Notes, the Trustee may withhold the notice to the Holders of such Notes if a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the
Notes. 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 6.01(a)(ix) or
Section 6.01(a)(x) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders)
may, and the Trustee, upon the written request of such Holders, shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and any Additional Amounts and accrued interest on all of the outstanding Notes immediately due and payable, and upon any such
declaration all such amounts payable in respect of the Notes will become immediately due and payable. 
 (b) If an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(a)(ix) or Section 6.01(a)(x) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Notes. 
  

 65 








 (c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration under this Indenture, but before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and its consequences if:

 (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
 (A) all overdue interest and Additional Amounts on all Notes then outstanding; 
 (B) all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, on any outstanding Note that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes; 
 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is
lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes; and 
 (D) all sums paid or
advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; 
 (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and 
 (iii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and any Additional Amounts and interest on the Notes that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or waived. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. 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 of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual 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, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 All rights of action and claims under this
Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its
own name and 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 rateable benefit
of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, and Additional Amounts or interest on any Note. 
  

 66 








 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Indenture; provided, that: 
 (a) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction; 
 (b) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; and 
 (c)
the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 SECTION 6.06.
Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any of the Notes has any right to institute any proceedings with respect to this Indenture or any remedy thereunder, unless the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
have made a written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee under the Notes and this Indenture, the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 30
Business Days after receipt of such notice and the Trustee within such 30-Business Day period has not received directions inconsistent with such written request by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Such
limitations do not, however, apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in
such Note. 
 SECTION 6.07. Collection Suit by Trustee. The Issuer covenants that if default is made in the payment of: 
 (a) any installment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

(b) the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof, 
 the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any), Additional
Amounts, if any and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and Additional Amounts, if any and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the
rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the amounts provided for in Section 7.06 and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 (c) If the Issuer
fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name 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 Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon the
Notes, wherever situated. 
  

 67 








 SECTION 6.08. 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 (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its 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 shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims; and
any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 7.06. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 6.09. Application of Money Collected. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the
money or property in the following order: 
  

			
	FIRST:	  	to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.06, including payment of all properly incurred compensation, expense and liabilities incurred and all advances made, by the Trustee and the
costs and expenses of collection;
		
	SECOND:	  	to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal of, if any, premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, rateably, without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, if any, premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, respectively; and
		
	THIRD:	  	to the Issuer or any other obligors on the Notes, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.


 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to
this Article Six. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 
 SECTION 6.10. Undertaking for Costs. A court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in 

  

 68 








 
the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.10 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or to any suit by any Holder pursuant to Section 6.06. 
 SECTION 6.11.
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture 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 Issuer, 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
6.12. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, 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 of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 SECTION 6.13. Delay or Omission not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note 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 acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Six 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 6.14.
Record Date. The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or to consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by Sections 6.04, 6.05 and 11.04. Unless this Indenture
provides otherwise, such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.05 prior to such solicitation.

 SECTION 6.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not
at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee
but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  

 69 








 ARTICLE SEVEN 
 TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
of which a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, 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. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of
which a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge: (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. In the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
examine same to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.02 or 6.05.

except to the extent required by law. 
 (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 SECTION 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. (a) Subject to Section 7.01:

 (i) the Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report,

to have been signed or presented by the proper person; 
 (ii) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require

be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (v) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes
or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute gross negligence or bad faith;

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 Officer’s Certificate; 
 (vii) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer personally or by agent or attorney and to consult
with the officers and representatives of the Issuer; 
 (viii) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety
with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture; 
 (ix) the Trustee will
have no duty to inquire as to the Issuer’s performance of the covenants in Article Four. In addition, the Trustee will not be deemed to have any knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or other identity of a Restricted Subsidiary or

 (x) in the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, will be taken; 
  

 71 








 (xi) the permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture
will not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so; 
 (xii) delivery of reports, information and documents to the
Trustee under Section 4.18 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein,
including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates); 
 (xiii) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its rights to be
indemnified, are extended to, and will be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and 
 (xiv) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will, subject to Section 7.01(c),
be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (b) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of the individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such
certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 (c) In no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special,
punitive or consequential losses or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss of damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or of the Trustee, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such
other agent. 
 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer
of Notes or the proceeds thereof or the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.05.
Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after March 31 of each year commencing with March 31, 2007, the Trustee shall transmit to the Holders, in 

  

 72 








 
the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such March 31, if required by TIA Section 313(a). The
Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b) and (c). 
 The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed
on any securities exchange and of any delisting thereof and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(d). 
 SECTION 7.06.
Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee such compensation as shall be agreed in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an
express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all properly incurred out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall
include the compensation, disbursements, advances and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuer shall
indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith
on its part arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.06) and
defending itself against any claim, whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person or liability in connection with the execution and performance of any of its powers and duties hereunder). The indemnified party shall notify the
Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the indemnified party to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, at the Trustee’s sole discretion, defend the
claim and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate and may participate at the Issuer’s expense in such defense. Alternatively, the Trustee may, at its option, have separate counsel of its own choosing and the Issuer shall pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel if the Issuer shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or if the Issuer otherwise agrees to pay the cost of such separate counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by such party through such party’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad
faith. Any settlement of a claim shall be approved in writing by the Trustee. 
 To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this
Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
particular Notes. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs any additional
expenses or expenses relating to exceptional duties after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) with respect to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, the expenses (including the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel) and the compensation for its services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

 73 








 The Issuer’s obligations under this Section 7.06 and any claim or lien arising hereunder shall
survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations pursuant to Article Eight and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law, and the termination of this Indenture.

 SECTION 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. 
 The Trustee may resign
at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09; 
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of
the Trustee or its property; or 
 (d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If the successor
Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.07 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06. 
 If a successor Trustee is not appointed or is appointed but does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee may appoint a successor Trustee. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the
Holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuer. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  

 74 








 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer’s
obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the rights,
privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee in this Section 7.07, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by each Paying Agent, Registrar, Calculation Agent, Security Trustee or
Transfer Agent employed to act hereunder or any agent of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent, Security Trustee or Transfer Agent. 
 SECTION 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes 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 Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 
 SECTION 7.09. Eligibility: Disqualification. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least €50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No obligor
upon the Notes or Person directly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee upon the Notes. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be
excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other notes of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set
forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. 
 SECTION 7.10. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee shall
comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 SECTION 7.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee. (a) It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction
denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on
default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein
granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an individual or institution as a separate or co-Trustee. The following provisions of this Section 7.11 are
adopted to these ends. 
  

 75 








 (b) In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or
co-Trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall
be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-Trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-Trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction is
incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-Trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. 
 (c) Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the separate or co-Trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer; provided, however, that
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Issuer does not execute any such instrument within 15 days after request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Issuer to execute any such
instrument in the Issuer’s name and stead. In case any separate or co-Trustee or a successor to either shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of
such separate or co-Trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new Trustee or successor to such separate or co-Trustee. 
 (d) Each separate Trustee and co-Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

 (i) all rights and powers, conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and may be exercised or
performed by such separate Trustee or co-Trustee; and 
 (ii) no Trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other Trustee hereunder. 
 (e) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate Trustees and co-Trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article Seven.

 (f) Any separate Trustee or co-Trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.

 ARTICLE EIGHT 
 DEFEASANCE; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 8.01. Issuer’s Option to Effect Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option by a resolution of its board of directors, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance

 SECTION 8.02. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise
under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Notes on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). Legal defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes except as to: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding
Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuer’s obligations to issue temporary Notes, register the transfer or exchange of any Notes,
replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, maintain an office or agency for payments in respect of the Notes and segregate and hold such payments in trust, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the
obligations of the Issuer in connection therewith, and (d) the legal defeasance provisions of this Indenture. Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 below with respect to the Notes. If the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. 
 SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the
Issuer shall be released from its obligations under any covenant contained in Section 4.03 through and including 4.20 and 5.01 with respect to the Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. 
 SECTION 8.04. Conditions to Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 
 (a) the
Issuer must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited in trust with the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in euro, European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof (if applicable, in combination with Qualified
Interest Rate Agreements) that through the payment of interest and principal (in respect of such money or European Government Obligations) or other amounts (in respect of such Qualified Interest Rate Agreements) will provide funds (net of any
amounts payable by the trust pursuant to any such Qualified Interest Rate Agreements) as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay and discharge the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must (i) specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

 77 








 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
acceptable to the Trustee stating that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date hereof, there has been a change in applicable U.S. federal income
tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and
will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the
Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for tax purposes in the Netherlands Antilles as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to tax in the Netherlands Antilles on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the
Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such
Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (e) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that
the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for tax purposes in the Netherlands Antilles as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to tax in the Netherlands Antilles 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; 
 (f) no Default or Event of Default
will have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); 
 (g) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee for the Notes to have a conflicting interest as defined in this Indenture
and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any of the Issuer’s securities; 
 (h) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit), this Indenture or any material agreement or
instrument to which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound; 
 (i)
such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the US Investment Company Act of 1940 unless such trust shall be registered under such Act
or exempt from registration thereunder; 
  

 78 








 (j) the Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit
was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others, or removing assets beyond the
reach of the relevant creditors or increasing debts of the Issuer to the detriment of the relevant creditors; and 
 (k) the Issuer must have
delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have
been complied with. 
 If the funds and/or securities deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are (in combination with
Qualified Interest Rate Agreements) insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when due because of any acceleration occurring after an Event of Default, then the Issuer will remain liable for such payments.

 SECTION 8.05. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect
(except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes as expressly provided for in this Indenture) and all Liens securing the Notes will be released when: 
 (a) the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as funds in trust for such purpose an amount in euro and/or European
Government Obligations (if applicable, in combination with Qualified Interest Rate Agreements) that through the payment of interest and principal (in respect of such cash or European Government Obligations) or other amounts (in respect of such
Qualified Interest Rate Agreements will provide funds (net of any amounts payable by the trust pursuant to any such Qualified Interest Rate Agreements) as will be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Debt on such Notes that have not, prior to
such time, been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and any Additional Amounts and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due
and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be and the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of Notes at Maturity or on the
redemption date, as the case may be and either: 
 (i) all the Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (other than
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust as provided
for in this Indenture) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (ii) all Notes that have not been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation (I) have become due and payable (by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise), (II) shall become due and payable at Stated Maturity within one year or (III) are to be called for redemption
within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; and 
  

 79 








 (b) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuer under this Indenture; and

 (c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee, each
stating that: 
 (i) all conditions precedent provided in this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture have been satisfied; and

constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Issuer or any Subsidiary is bound. 
 SECTION 8.06. Survival of Certain Obligations. Notwithstanding Sections 8.01 and 8.03, any obligations of the Issuer in Sections 2.02 through
2.14, 7.06, 7.07, and 8.07 through 8.09 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, any obligations of the Issuer in Sections 7.06, 8.07 and 8.08 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. Nothing contained in this Article
Eight shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 8.07. Acknowledgment of Discharge by
Trustee. Subject to Section 8.09, after the conditions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 have been satisfied, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of all of the Issuer’s obligations under this
Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article Eight. 
 SECTION 8.08. Application of Trust Money. Subject
to Section 8.09, the Trustee shall hold in trust cash in euro or European Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article Eight. It shall apply the deposited cash, European Government Obligations or proceeds from the relevant
Qualified Interest Rate Agreements, as the case may be, through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes; but such money need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 SECTION 8.09. Repayment to Issuer. Subject to Sections 7.06,
and 8.01 through 8.04, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request set forth in an Officer’s Certificate any excess money held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with
respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, that remains unclaimed for two years; provided
that the Trustee or Paying Agent before being required to make any payment may cause to be made available to the newswire service of Bloomberg or, if Bloomberg does not then operate, any similar agency and, if and so long as the Notes are listed on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules and regulations of such exchange so require, published in the Luxemburger Wort or another newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg or mail to each Holder entitled to such money at such
Holder’s address (as set forth in the Security Register) notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such 

  

 80 








 
publication or mailing) any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to
such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease. 
 SECTION 8.10. Indemnity for Government Securities. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against deposited European Government Obligations or the principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, received on such European Government Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.11. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply cash in euro or European Government Obligations in accordance with
this Article Eight by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture
and the Notes, including the first priority Lien over the Collateral, shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or any such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
such cash or European Government Securities in accordance with this Article Eight; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on any Notes
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the cash in euro or euro Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

 

 81

thereof in the supplemental indenture. 
 The consent of the Holders is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, modification, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, modification, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. (a) A written consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note

 83 








 
Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s
Certificate from the Issuer certifying that the requisite number of consents have been received. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the
Issuer or the Trustee of the requisite number of consents, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of
such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuer and the Trustee.

indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 
 SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, modification or supplement changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer or Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee
may place an appropriate notation on the Note and on any Note subsequently authenticated regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, modification or supplement. 
 SECTION 9.06. [Reserved] 
 SECTION
9.07. Notice of Amendment or Waiver. Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture or waiver pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Luxembourg

 ARTICLE TEN 
 COLLATERAL AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS 
 SECTION 10.01. Collateral. The obligations of the Issuer under
the Notes and this Indenture shall be secured by a first priority Lien over the Capital Stock of Matel Holdings (together with any other assets that from time to time may secure the Notes, the “Collateral”). This security is granted
in favor of, and will be enforceable by, the Security Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, upon acceleration of the amounts due under this Indenture and the Notes following an Event of Default. The Issuer and the Security Trustee have
entered into the Security Document pursuant to which all the outstanding Capital Stock and any future Capital Stock of Matel Holdings have been pledged on a first priority basis to secure the payment and performance when due of the obligations of
the Issuer hereunder and under the Notes.

appointed The Bank of New York as security trustee (together with any successor or replacement security trustee, the “Security Trustee”) to act as agent and security trustee under the Security Document and any other relevant
document. The Security Trustee has, and by accepting a Note, each Holder will be deemed to have, irrevocably authorized the Security Trustee to (i) perform the duties and exercise the rights, powers and discretions that are specifically given
to it under the Security Document and any relevant document, together with any other incidental rights, powers and discretions; and (ii) execute each document expressed to be executed by the Security Trustee.

liabilities (and interest thereon) incurred by or on behalf of the Security Trustee and any receiver, attorney or agent in connection with carrying out its duties and exercising its powers and discretion under the Security Document and the
remuneration of the Security Trustee and every receiver under the Security Document and (ii) in payment of all reasonable unpaid fees, costs, charges, expenses and liabilities (and interest thereon) incurred by or on behalf of the Security

 SECTION 10.04. Suits to Protect the Collateral. Subject to
the provisions of the Security Document, the Security Trustee shall have the authority to institute and maintain, such suits and proceedings as the Security Trustee may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may
be unlawful or in violation of any of the 

  

 85 








 
Security Document, and such suits and proceedings as the Security Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the
Holders of the Notes in the Collateral (including suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the
enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Lien created by the Security Document on the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes). 
 SECTION 10.05. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Security Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or Security
Trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article Ten upon the Issuer with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or the Security Trustee, and an instrument signed by such
receiver or the Security Trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article Ten.

 Notices given by first-class mail shall be deemed given five (5) calendar days after mailing and notices given by publication shall be deemed given on the first date on which publication is made. Failure to mail

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. 
 SECTION 12.03. Communication by Holders with Other Holders. Holders may communicate
pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c). 
 SECTION 12.04. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take or refrain
from taking any action under this Indenture (except in connection with the original issuance of the Notes on the date hereof), the Issuer shall furnish upon request to the Trustee: 
 (a) an Officer’s Certificate in form satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of the signer, all conditions precedent, if any,
provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and 
 (b) an Opinion of Counsel in form satisfactory
to the Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and qualifications) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with and any other matters that the Trustee may reasonably request. 
  

 90 








 Any Officer’s Certificate may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of
Counsel, unless the officer signing such certificate knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that such Opinion of Counsel with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s Certificate is based is erroneous. Any Opinion of
Counsel may be based and may state that it is so based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon an Officer’s Certificate stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless the
counsel signing such Opinion of Counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the Officer’s Certificate with respect to the matters upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based are erroneous. 
 SECTION 12.05. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture shall include: 
 (a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such

investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (c) a statement that, in the
opinion of each such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
 (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

 SECTION 12.08. Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 12.09. Jurisdiction. The Issuer agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against the
Issuer brought by any Holder of the Notes or the Trustee arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the Notes may be instituted in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court from any
thereof, and each of them irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action, or proceeding
that may be brought in connection with this Indenture or the Notes, including such actions, suits or proceedings relating to securities laws 

  

 91 








 
of the United States of America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that any such
suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Issuer agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer and may be enforced in any court
to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided, however, that service of process is effected upon the Issuer in the manner provided by this Indenture. The Issuer has appointed CT Corporation System,
with offices on the date hereof at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, or any successor, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”), upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
based upon this Indenture or the Notes or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, by any Holder or the Trustee, and expressly accepts the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of
process, and the Issuer agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such respective appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized
Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action involving the Issuer arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the Notes may be instituted by any Holder or the
Trustee in any other court of competent jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 12.10. [Reserved] 
 SECTION 12.11. Successors. All agreements of the Issuer in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee
in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 
 SECTION 12.12. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Indenture. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. 
 SECTION 12.13. Table of Contents and Headings. The table of contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been
inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 12.14. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 12.15. Currency Indemnity. Euro is the sole currency of account and payment for
all sums payable under the Notes and this Indenture. Any amount received or recovered in respect of the Notes in a currency other than euro (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the
winding up or dissolution of the Issuer, any Subsidiary or otherwise) by a Holder of the Notes in respect of any sum expressed to be due to such Holder from the Issuer will constitute a discharge of their obligation only to the extent of the euro
amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in such other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not possible to purchase euro on that date, on the first date on which it is 

  

 92 








 
possible to do so). If the euro amount to be recovered is less than the euro amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Note, the Issuer will
indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any further purchase of euro in an amount equal to such difference. For the purposes of this Section 12.15, it will be sufficient for the Holder to certify in a manner reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuer (indicating the sources of information used) the loss it incurred in making such purchase. These indemnities, to the extent permitted by law: 
 (i) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuer’s other obligations; 
 (ii) give rise to a separate and independent cause of action; 
 (iii) apply irrespective of any waiver granted by
any Holder of a Note; and 
 (iv) 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 any Note or any other judgment or order. 
 SECTION 12.16. Currency
Calculation. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any euro-denominated restriction herein, the euro-equivalent amount for purposes hereof that is denominated in a non-euro currency shall be
calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such non-euro amount is incurred or made. 
 SECTION 12.17.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Shareholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of Issuer shall have any liability for any obligations of Issuer under the Notes or this Indenture or for
any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

Notes will be identical to the originally issued Notes, except that interest will begin to accrue from the date they are issued rather than the Issue Date. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid
or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the Issue Date. 
 The Calculation Agent will, as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on each Determination Date, determine the Applicable Rate, and calculate the aggregate amount of interest payable on the Notes in respect of the following Interest Period (the “Interest Amount”). The Interest Amount
will be calculated by applying the Applicable Rate to the principal amount of each Note outstanding at the commencement of the Interest Period, multiplying each such amount by the actual number of days in the Interest Period concerned divided by
360. 
 All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of
a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g. 4.876545% (or .04876545) being rounded to 4.87655% (or .0487655)). All euro amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the
nearest euro cent (with one-half euro cent being rounded upwards). The determination of the Applicable Rate and the Interest Rate Amount by the Calculation Agent shall, in the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error, be binding on
all parties. 
 The Applicable Rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may
be modified by United States law of general application. The Calculation Agent shall be under no obligation to monitor whether the Applicable Rate exceeds such maximum rate. 
 The Calculation Agent will, upon the written request of the Holder of any Note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes.

 The rights of holders of beneficial interests in the Notes to receive the payments of interest on the Notes are subject to applicable
procedures of the book-entry depositary and Euroclear and Clearstream. 
  

 A-5 








 “Determination Date,” with respect to an Interest Period relating to EURIBOR, will be
the day that is two TARGET Settlement Days preceding the first day of such Interest Period. 
 “EURIBOR,” with respect to an
Interest Period, will be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in euros for a three-month period beginning on the day that is two TARGET Settlement Days after the Determination Date that appears on Telerate Page 248 as of 11:00
a.m., Brussels time, on the Determination Date. If Telerate Page 248 does not include such a rate or is unavailable on a Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone
inter-bank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum) as of approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone
interbank market for deposits in a Representative Amount in euro for a three-month period beginning on the day that is two TARGET Settlement Days after the Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided, the rate for the
Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in London, as selected by the Calculation Agent (“Reference
Banks”), to provide such bank’s rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11.00 a.m., London time, on such Determination Date, for loans in a Representative Amount in euros to leading European banks for a
three-month period beginning on the day that is two TARGET Settlement Days after the Determination Date. If at least two such rates are so provided, the rate for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such
rates are so provided then the rate for the Interest Period will be the rate in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Period. 
 “Euro-zone” means the region comprised of member states of the European Union that adopt the euro. 
 “Interest Period” means the period commencing on and including an interest payment date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding the next succeeding interest payment date, with the exception that the first
Interest Period will commence on and include the Issue Date and end on and include January 14, 2007. 
 “Ratchet
Margin” shall be zero for the period up to but excluding October 15, 2009. For any Interest Period beginning on or after that date if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate provided
to the Calculation Agent is equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.00, then the Ratchet Margin in effect for the Interest Period in which such Officer’s Certificate was issued shall be 2.00% (applied retroactively to the beginning of the Interest
Period in which such Officer’s Certificate was issued); provided, however, the Ratchet Margin shall be zero (applied retroactively to the beginning of the Interest Period in which such Officer’s Certificate was issued) in any
Interest Period for which the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than 2.50 to 1.00. Each Officer’s Certificate in respect of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio will be provided to the Calculation Agent no later than 75 days
following the end of each fiscal quarter in each fiscal year of the Company and shall certify, based upon the Company’s quarterly financial statements, that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company for the Interest Period in which such
Officer’s Certificate is provided is (x) equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.00 or (y) less than to 2.50 to 1.00. The Ratchet Margin for any Interest Period shall not exceed 2.00%. The Trustee and the Calculation Agent will be entitled
to assume the accuracy of any such Officer’s Certificate. 
  

 A-6 








 “Representative Amount” means the greater of (a) €1,000,000 and (b) an
amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time.

Day” means any day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open. 
 “Telerate Page 248” means, the display page so designated on Bridge’s Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or such other service as may be nominated as the information vendor).

  

	2.	Additional Amounts 

 All payments that the Issuer
makes under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including, without limitation,
penalties, interest and other similar liabilities related thereto) of whatever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which the Issuer is incorporated, organized, engaged in business
(where such Tax is imposed by reason of the Issuer being engaged in business) or otherwise resident for tax purposes or from or through which any of the foregoing makes any payment on the Notes or by or within any department or political subdivision
thereof having power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration of law. If the Issuer is required to withhold or
deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to
ensure that the net amount received by each Holder of the Notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will be not less than the amount the Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or
deducted. Such Additional Amounts may be paid by the Issuer, at its option, in the form of cash or Additional Notes. 
 The Issuer will not,
however, pay Additional Amounts in respect or on account of: 
 (a) any Taxes that are imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction by
reason of a present or former connection of a Holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if the Holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) or a beneficial
owner with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt or holding of Notes or by reason of the receipt of payments thereunder or the exercise or enforcement of rights under any Notes or the Indenture); 
 (b) any Taxes that are imposed or levied by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of Notes, following the Issuer’s written request
addressed to the Holder (and made at a time which would enable the Holder or beneficial owner acting reasonably to comply with that request), to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements which the
Holder or such beneficial owner is legally required to satisfy, whether imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction
or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction); 
  

 A-7 








 (c) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar taxes;

 (d) any Tax which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to the Notes; 

(e) any Tax that is imposed or levied by reason of the presentation (where presentation is required in order to receive payment) of such Notes for
payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficial owner or Holder thereof would
have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30 day period; 
 (f) any Tax
imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Issuer to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment
had such Holder been the sole beneficial owner of such Note; 
 (g) any Tax that is imposed on or with respect to a payment made to a Holder
or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Notes to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union; 
 (h) any withholding or deduction in respect of any Taxes where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to
be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26–27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with,
or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or 
 (i) any combination of the above. 
 The Issuer will (i) make such withholding or deduction as is required by applicable law and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to
the relevant taxing authority in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. 
 At least 30 calendar days prior to
each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, if the Issuer will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day
prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will
be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. The Issuer will promptly publish a notice in accordance with
Section 12.02 of the Indenture stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and describing the obligation to pay such amounts. 
 Upon request, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee or the Holder certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes by the Issuer in such form as provided in the normal course by the taxing authority imposing such Taxes
and as is reasonably available to the Issuer. If notwithstanding the efforts of the Issuer to obtain such receipts, the same are 

  

 A-8 








 
not obtainable, the Issuer will provide the Trustee or such Holder other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee or the Holder of such payments by the Issuer.

 In addition, the Issuer shall pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court, documentation, excise or property taxes or
other similar taxes, charges and duties, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of the execution, issue, delivery or registration of the Notes or any other document or instrument
referred to thereunder (other than in respect of the execution, issue, delivery or registration of Notes pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 2.07 or Section 2.11(a)(iv) of the Indenture) and any such taxes, charges or duties imposed by
any jurisdiction as a result of, or in connection with, the enforcement of the Notes and/or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer will agree to indemnify the
Holders for any such taxes paid by such Holders. 
 The obligations described under this paragraph will apply mutatis mutandis to any
jurisdiction in which any Surviving Entity or successor person to the Issuer is incorporated, organized, engaged in business or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. Whenever
reference is made to, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such reference includes the payment of Additional Amounts, if applicable. 
  

	3.	Method of Payment 

 The Issuer shall pay interest on
this Note (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are registered holders of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date for the next Interest Payment Date even if this Note is cancelled after the Record Date and on or before the
Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall make cash payments of principal, premium, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest in euro or such other lawful currency of the
participating member states in the Third Stage of European Economic and Monetary Union of the Treaty Establishing the European Community that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the
Notes (including principal, premium, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest) shall be made at the election of the Issuer (A) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof,
except that cash payment of interest may be paid by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof, provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least €1,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a euro account maintained by the payee with a bank in a country that is a member State of the European Union if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the
Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion) or (B) by Additional Notes
(i) mailed to the person entitled thereto as shown on the register for the certificated Notes if the Notes are then held in the form of certificated Notes as of the relevant Record Date, or (ii) deposited into the account specified by the
Holder or Holders thereof as of the relevant Record Date if the Notes are held in global form. Alternatively, the Issuer may direct the Paying Agent to make the appropriate amendments to the schedule of principal amounts of the relevant Global Notes
outstanding and arrange for deposit into the account specified by the Holder or Holders thereof as of the relevant Record Date. Payment shall be made in such 

  

 A-9 








 
form and upon such terms as specified herein and the Issuer shall and the Paying Agent may take additional steps as is necessary to effect such payment.

 If the due date for any payment in respect of any Note is not a Business Day at the place in which such payment is due to be paid, the
Holder thereof will not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day at such place, and will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay. 
  

	4.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, The Bank of
New York, a New York banking corporation, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar. The Issuer or any of its Affiliates may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	5.	Indenture 

 The Issuer issued the Notes under an
Indenture dated as of October 30, 2006 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, The Bank of New York (the “Trustee”) and The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. Only those TIA sections that are specifically referred to in the Indenture are incorporated by reference and are a part of the
Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms and provisions. 
 The Notes are senior obligations of the Issuer and are issued in an initial aggregate principal amount at maturity of €125,000,000. This Note is one of the Original Notes referred to in the Indenture. The
Original Notes and any Additional Notes are treated as a single class under the Indenture and will be equally and ratably secured by the Lien of the Security Document with respect to the Collateral. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the
ability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into or permit certain transactions with
Affiliates, create or incur Liens, make asset sales, and designate Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuer to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey,
transfer or lease all or substantially all its property. 
 To the extent of any conflict between the terms of the Notes and the Indenture,
the applicable terms of the Indenture shall govern. 
  

	6.	Optional Redemption 

 Optional Redemption
prior to April 15, 2008 
 At any time prior to April 15, 2008, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice,
the Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Redemption Premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. 
 “Applicable Redemption Premium” means, with respect to any Note on any redemption date, the greater of: 
 (a) 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note; and 
  

 A-10 








 (b) the excess of: 
 (i) the present value at such redemption date of (x) the redemption price of such Note at April 15, 2008 (such redemption price
being set forth in the table appearing below on or after April 15, 2008), plus (y) all required interest payments that would otherwise be due to be paid on such Note (assuming that the interest rate per annum on the Note applicable on the
date on which the notice of redemption was given was in effect for the entire period) during the period between the redemption date and April 15, 2008 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest), computed using a discount rate (discounted quarterly
assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) equal to the Bund Rate at such redemption date plus 75 basis points; over 
 (ii) the then outstanding principal amount of the Note. 
 “Bund Rate” means, with respect
to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the equivalent yield to maturity as of such redemption date of the Comparable German Bund Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable German Bund Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) equal to the Comparable German Bund Price for such redemption date, where: 
 (a) “Comparable German Bund Issue”
means the German Bundesanleihe security selected by any Reference German Bund Dealer as having a fixed maturity most nearly equal to the period from such redemption date to April 15, 2008, and that would be utilized, at the time of selection
and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of euro denominated corporate debt securities in a principal amount approximately equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes and of a maturity most nearly
equal to April 15, 2008; provided, however, that, if the period from such redemption date to April 15, 2008 is not equal to the fixed maturity of the German Bundesanleihe security selected by such Reference German Bund Dealer, the Bund
Rate shall be determined by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the yields of German Bundesanleihe securities for which such yields are given; except that if the period from such redemption date to
April 15, 2008 is less than one year, a fixed maturity of one year shall be used; 
 (b) “Comparable German Bund Price”
means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations for such redemption date (which in any event must include at least two such quotations), after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference
German Bund Dealer Quotations, or if the Issuer obtains fewer than four such Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations; 
 (c) “Reference German Bund Dealer” means any dealer of German Bundesanleihe securities appointed by the Issuer in consultation with the Trustee; and 
 (d) “Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference German Bund Dealer and any redemption date, the
average as determined by the Issuer in good faith of the bid and offered prices for the Comparable German Bund issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the 

  

 A-11 








 
Issuer by such Reference German Bund Dealer at 3:30 p.m. Frankfurt, Germany time on the third German business day preceding such redemption date. 

Optional Redemption on or after April 15, 2008 
 At any time on or after April 15, 2008 and prior to maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes. These redemptions will be in amounts of
€50,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of their principal amount at maturity), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed
during the periods set forth below. This redemption is subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date that is prior to the redemption date to receive interest due on an interest payment date. 
  

				
	 Year
	  	Redemption Price	 
	 April 15, 2008 – July 14, 2009
	  	100	%
	 July 15, 2009 – July 14, 2010
	  	102	%
	 July 15, 2010 – July 14, 2011
	  	101	%
	 Thereafter
	  	100	%

 If the Issuer is redeeming less than all the Notes at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes
to be redeemed as follows: (i) if the Notes to be redeemed are listed on any securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements, if any, of the principal securities exchange on which the Notes are listed as certified to the Trustee by the
Issuer; or (ii) if the Notes to be redeemed are not listed on any securities exchange, or are listed on a securities exchange which does not require or specify the manner in which the Notes to be redeemed are to be selected, on a pro rata basis
or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion will deem to be fair and appropriate. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Notes of €50,000 in aggregate principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. The Issuer will cause notices of redemption to be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of
Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Any such notice of redemption may be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. 
 If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Issuer will issue a new Note in a principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases
to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 
 So long as any Notes are admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market, the Issuer will provide a copy of all notices to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and will publish such notices on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
(www.bourse.lu). In addition, copies of the following documents will be available for inspection during usual business hours at the specified office 

  

 A-12 








 
of the Luxembourg paying agent: (a) the Indenture (including the form of Notes) and (b) any documents furnished to the Trustee under
Section 4.18 of the Indenture. 
  

	7.	Optional Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Tax 

 If, as a result of: 
 (a) any amendment after the Issue Date to, or change after the Issue Date in, the laws (or regulations or
rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or 
 (b) any change after the Issue Date in the official application or
official interpretation of the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court competent jurisdiction) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction applicable to the Issuer, 
 the Issuer or any Surviving Entity would be obligated to pay, on the next date for any payment and as a result of that amendment or change, Additional Amounts pursuant
to Section 4.14 of the Indenture with respect to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, which the Issuer or any Surviving Entity cannot avoid by the use of reasonable measures available to it (including making payments through a paying agent located
in another jurisdiction but not including the Issuer or a Surviving Entity moving or changing jurisdictions), then the Issuer or any Surviving Entity may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at any time thereafter, upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and all Additional Amounts then due, if any, to the redemption date. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption
described in this paragraph, the Issuer or any Surviving Entity will deliver to the Trustee: 
 (i) an Officer’s
Certificate stating that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Issuer or Surviving Entity taking reasonable measures available to it (including making payments through a paying agent located in another jurisdiction
but not including the Issuer or a Surviving Entity moving or changing jurisdictions); and 
 (ii) a written opinion of
independent legal counsel to the Issuer of recognized standing reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation
or application described above. 
 No notice of redemption will be given (a) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which
the Issuer would be obliged to make such payment of Additional Amounts or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due and (b) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in
effect. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may not redeem the Notes under this provision if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction
changes under the Indenture and the Issuer or any Surviving Entity or successor entity is obligated to pay any Additional Amounts as a result of a change in, or an amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated
thereunder), or any change in or amendment to, any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings, of the then current Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction which, at the time such
Relevant Taxing 

  

 A-13 








 
Jurisdiction became the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under the Indenture, was publicly announced as being or having been formally proposed.

  

	8.	Sinking Fund 

 The Notes are not subject to any
sinking fund. 
  

	9.	Notice of Redemption 

 The Issuer shall publish a
notice of any optional redemption of the Notes described above in accordance with the provisions described under Section 3.04 of the Indenture. If the Notes are listed at such time on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Issuer shall inform the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange of the principal amount of the Notes that have not been redeemed in connection with any optional redemption. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes by a method that
complies with the requirements, as certified to the Trustee by the Issuer, of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed at such time or, if the Notes are not listed on a securities exchange, pro rata, by lot or by such
other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than €50,000. 
  

	10.	Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders upon (i) a Change of Control and (ii) the occurrence of certain Asset Sales 

 In accordance with Section 4.13 and Section 4.11 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of
certain events, including a Change of Control and certain Asset Sales. 
  

	11.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

 The Notes are in
registered form without interest coupons in minimum denominations of €1 and may be transferred only in amounts of €50,000 or greater. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange,
the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register transfers or
exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or to any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
  

	12.	Persons Deemed Owners 

 The registered Holder of the
Notes will be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
  

	13.	Unclaimed Money 

 All moneys paid by the Issuer to
the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due
and payable may be repaid to the Issuer, subject to applicable law, and the Holder of such Note thereafter may look only to the Issuer for payment thereof. 
  

 A-14 









	14.	Discharge and Defeasance 

 Subject to certain
conditions, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer, among other things, deposits with the Trustee cash in euro or European Government Obligations in such amounts (in
combination with Qualified Interest Rate Agreements) as will be sufficient for the payment of the entire Indebtedness including principal of, premium and interest on, and Additional Amounts on the Notes to the date of redemption or maturity, as the
case may be. 
  

	15.	Amendment, Waiver 

 The Indenture and the Notes may
be amended as set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	16.	Defaults and Remedies 

 If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in Article Six of the Indenture. The Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives an indemnity satisfactory to it. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind any acceleration and its consequence if the conditions specified in Section 6.02(c) are satisfied. The
above description of Events of Default and remedies is qualified by reference, and subject in its entirety, to the provisions of Article Six of the Indenture. 
  

	17.	Trustee Dealings with the Issuer 

 Subject to
certain limitations set forth under the Indenture, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may
otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  

	18.	Tax Treatment 

 The Issuer and by purchase of a Note
governed hereby each beneficial owner agree for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) to treat the Notes as indebtedness that is subject to U.S. Treasury Regulations §1.1275-4(b) governing contingent payment debt instruments (the
“Contingent Debt Regulations”), and (ii) to use the Issuer’s determination of the “comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule,” within the meaning of the Contingent Debt Regulations, with respect to the
Notes. 
  

	19.	No Recourse Against Others 

 No director, manager,
officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary with respect to the Notes, the Note or the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective
to waive liabilities
