The Issuer or the Trustee may require from the Noteholder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06, 4.08 or 8.05 (in which events the Issuer shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes).  The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note of a series for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of notice of redemption of Notes of such series to be redeemed or of any Note of such series selected, called or being called for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Note of such series being redeemed in part.


29







Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.  By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.
		
	SECTION 2.08.
	Replacement Notes.


If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of the same series (and the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantees thereon) if the Holder of such Note furnishes to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the Holder (i) files with the Issuer a sufficient indemnity bond and executes a customary indemnity agreement; (ii) satisfies other reasonable requirements imposed by the Issuer or the Trustee; and (iii) complies with any applicable law as in effect on the Issue Date.  If required by the Trustee, the Agents or the Issuer, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced.  The Issuer may charge such Holder for the Issuer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Issuer for the Trustee’s out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Note and may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Trustee incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and the out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Trustee incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) connected therewith.  Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer.  The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken Notes.
		
	SECTION 2.09.
	Outstanding Notes.


The Notes of a series outstanding at any time are all Notes of such series that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by or on behalf of the Trustee, (b) those accepted by the Trustee for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated by the Trustee hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.


30







If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer.
If a Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, Euros sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.
		
	SECTION 2.10.
	Treasury Notes.


In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of a series of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer or any other Affiliate of the Issuer shall be disregarded as though 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 as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established 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, a Guarantor, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates.
		
	SECTION 2.11.
	Temporary Notes.


Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes of the same series but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes.  Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes of the same series in exchange for temporary Notes of the same series.  Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.
		
	SECTION 2.12.
	Cancellation.


The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar, the Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner.  The Issuer may not reissue or 


31







resell or issue new Notes to replace Notes that the Issuer has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
		
	SECTION 2.13.
	Defaulted Interest.


If the Issuer defaults on a payment of interest on a series of Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by such series of Notes plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders thereof on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date.  If such default continues for thirty (30) days, the Issuer shall fix such special record date and payment date in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee.  At least 10 days before such special record date, the Issuer (or upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to each affected Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.  The Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the applicable series of Notes may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.  If the Issuer elects for the Trustee to send such notice to the Holders then the Issuer shall provide such notice to the Trustee at least ten (10) days (or such shorter time as may be agreed by the Trustee in its discretion) before such notice is required to be mailed to the Holders of the applicable series of Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(1) shall be paid to Holders of such series of Notes as of the record date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid.
		
	SECTION 2.14.
	ISIN and Common Code Numbers.


The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “ISIN” or “Common Code” numbers, and if so used, such ISIN and Common Code numbers shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN or Common Code numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such ISIN or Common Code numbers.  The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any such ISIN or Common Code number used by the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in any such ISIN or Common Code number.
		
	SECTION 2.15.
	Deposit of Moneys.


Prior to 10:00 A.M., London time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date of a series of Notes (but not prior to the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as applicable), the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds Euros sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity 


32







Date with respect to such series of Notes, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits such Paying Agents to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.  The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Common Depositary, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby.  The Issuer shall no later than 10:00 A.M., London time, on the Business Day that is two Business Days prior to the day on which the Paying Agent is to receive payment, procure that the bank effecting such payment for it confirm to the Paying Agent the payment instructions relating to such payment.  A Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay the Holders unless and until such time as it has confirmed receipt of funds for such payment.  The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person, by wire transfer or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent.  Final payment of principal at maturity will only be made by the Trustee upon surrender of the related Note to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
		
	SECTION 2.16.
	Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.


(a)    Rule 144A Notes of an applicable series initially shall be represented by one or more Notes of such series in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Note”).  Regulation S Notes of an applicable series initially shall be represented by one or more Notes of such series in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Note”).  The term “Global Notes” means the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note.  The Global Notes shall bear the Global Note Legend.  The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the nominee of the Common Depositary, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member, (ii) be delivered to the Common Depositary and (iii) bear the Private Placement Legend.
Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, Euroclear and Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the nominee of the Common Depositary or under the Global Notes.  The nominee of the Common Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the 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 Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and their respective Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.  None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of Euroclear or Clearstream with respect to such Global Note, for the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, including records in respect of the beneficial owners of any such Global Note, for any transactions between Euroclear or Clearstream and any Agent Member or between or among Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, any such Agent Member and/or any Holder or beneficial owner of such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.
(b)    Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Common Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees.  Interests of 


33







beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes only in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 2.17.  In addition, a Global Note of an applicable series shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes of such series (i) if Euroclear or Clearstream notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and the Issuer thereupon fails to appoint a successor depositary within 120 days or (ii) if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note of such series and Euroclear or Clearstream has requested such exchange.  In all cases, Physical Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Common Depositary in accordance with its customary procedures.
(c)    In connection with the transfer of a Global Note as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.16, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Common Depositary in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.
(d)    Any Restricted Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.17 shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend.
(e)    The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, through and including the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes represented by a Regulation S Global Note and the issue date of such Regulation S Global Notes (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note shall bear a legend in the form set forth on Exhibit E through the last day of such Restricted Period, which may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream unless delivery is made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.17.
		
	SECTION 2.17.

(b)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Common Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.

Beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be transferred or exchanged only (a) for beneficial interests in Global Notes of the same series, (b) in denominations of at least €100,000 each or integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof, and (c) in the case of transfers of beneficial interests in Global Notes within The Netherlands, in compliance with the selling restrictions set forth in the section of the Offering Memorandum entitled “Plan of Distribution – Notice to Prospective Investors in The Netherlands”.  Transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:
(i)    Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.  Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser).  A beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note.  No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.17(b)(i).
(ii)    All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.  In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in any Global Note that is not subject to Section 2.17(b)(i), the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar (1) a written order from an Agent Member given to the Common Depositary in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream directing the Common Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note of the same series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream containing information regarding the Agent Member account to be credited with such increase.  Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes, the Registrar shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.17(f).
(iii)    Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note.  A beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note of 


35







the same series if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.17(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following:
(A)    if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note of the same series, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit F, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and
(B)    if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note of the same series, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit F, including the certifications in item (2) thereof.

A beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note of the same series or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note of the same series if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.17(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following:
(A)    if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note of the same series, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit G, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or
(B)    if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note of the same series, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit F, including the certifications in item (4) thereof,
and, in each such case, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.  If any such transfer or exchange is effected pursuant to this subparagraph (iv) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes of the same series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred or exchanged pursuant to this subparagraph (iv).
(v)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note.  Beneficial interests in an 


36







Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.
(c)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Physical Notes.  A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Physical Note except under the circumstances described in Section 2.16(b).

and, in each such case, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions of this subparagraph (ii), the Trustee shall cancel the Restricted Physical Notes and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Note of the same series.  If any such transfer or exchange is effected pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes of the same series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Restricted Physical Notes of the same series transferred or exchanged pursuant to this subparagraph (ii).

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note of the same series or for Physical Notes of the same series, the principal amount of such series of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Common Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note of the same series, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global 


40







Note by the Trustee or by the Common Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.
(g)    Private Placement Legend.  Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes of the same series that do not bear the Private Placement Legend.  Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes of the same series that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (ii) such Note has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Registrar has received an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer to such effect.

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes of an applicable series pursuant to paragraph 5 or 6 of the Notes of such series, at least 10 days prior to the Redemption Date but not more than 65 days before the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall notify the Registrar, the Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of such series of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption price(s) (or manner of calculation if not then known) and the conditions precedent to such redemption (if any), and deliver to the Registrar, Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained in paragraph 5 or 6, as applicable, of the Notes of such series.  Except as provided in the penultimate paragraph of Section 3.03 and the first proviso in Section 3.04, notice given to the Registrar, the Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01 may not be revoked after the time that notice is given to Noteholders pursuant to Section 3.03.  If the redemption price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as described in the terms of the Notes, will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Registrar, the Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.
		
	SECTION 3.02.
	Selection by Trustee of Notes to be Redeemed.


If less than all of a series of Notes is to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes of such series for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes to be redeemed are listed or, if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis; provided that no Notes with a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.  For all purposes of this Indenture unless the context otherwise requires, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes of a series called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes of such series called for redemption.  Redemption amounts shall only be paid upon presentation and surrender of any such Notes to be redeemed to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.  
		
	SECTION 3.03.
	Notice of Redemption.


At least 10 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice of redemption electronically or by first-class mail to each Holder of the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.06.
The notice shall identify the series of Notes to be redeemed (including the ISIN and/or Common Code numbers thereof) and shall state:
(1)    the Redemption Date;


42







(2)    the redemption price and the amount of premium (or manner of calculation if not then known) and accrued interest to be paid;
(3)    if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes of the same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;
(4)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(5)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(6)    that unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(7)    that paragraph 5 or paragraph 6, as applicable, of the Notes is the provision of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption is occurring; 
(8)    the aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes that are being redeemed;
(9)    any conditions precedent to such redemption in reasonable detail; and
(10)    that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN or Common Code numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.
At the Issuer’s written request made at least 10 Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee), together with the notice of redemption to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s sole expense.  The Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
If any notice of redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, any such redemption may be rescinded in whole and not in part at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date if the Issuer delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee describing the failure of the condition in reasonable detail and rescinding the redemption.  The Issuer shall promptly provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to the Holders in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
Notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.  If the Issuer effects an optional redemption of either series of the Notes, it shall, if and 


43







for so long as any Notes of such series are listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and the rules of Euronext Dublin so require, inform Euronext Dublin of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption.
		
	SECTION 3.04.
	Effect of Notice of Redemption.


Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is sent and subject to the proviso to this sentence, Notes of the applicable series called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that any redemption and notice thereof pursuant to this Indenture may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in such notice, including, but not limited to, the completion of any related transaction, and in which case if and/or to the extent such condition(s) precedent is/are not satisfied the Issuer shall have no obligation to redeem Notes on such Redemption Date.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided that if the Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date; and provided, further, that if a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.
		
	SECTION 3.05.
	Deposit of Redemption Price.


On or prior to 10:00 A.M., London time, on each Redemption Date (but not prior to such Redemption Date), the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent Euros sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on any and all Notes to be redeemed on that date (other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation).
On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the second proviso in Section 3.04, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date.  If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes.
		
	SECTION 3.06.
	Notes Redeemed in Part.


Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance 


44







with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.
		
	SECTION 3.07.
	Special Mandatory Redemption.


(a)    Each series of Notes is subject to redemption in whole (but not in part), subject to the conditions and at the redemption price set forth in paragraph 8 of the applicable Notes of such series, which, in each case, is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture.
(b)    The provision of Sections 3.03 to 3.05 shall apply to any special mandatory redemption pursuant to paragraph 8 of the applicable Notes, except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions set forth in paragraph 8 of the applicable Notes.
(c)    If and for so long as any Notes called for redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 are listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and the rules of Euronext Dublin so require, the Issuer will notify Euronext Dublin that a special mandatory redemption has occurred on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined in the Notes) and provide any relevant details relating to such special mandatory redemption.

	SECTION 4.09.
	Limitation on Asset Disposition.


(a)    Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless:  
(1)    Parent or such Subsidiary receives consideration at least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined in good faith by Parent on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the equity and assets subject to such Asset Disposition; 
(2)    at least 75% of the consideration received by Parent or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents, Additional Assets or any combination thereof (collectively, the “Cash Consideration”); and 
(3)    within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by Parent (or such Subsidiary, as the case may be):  
(A)    to the extent Parent elects (or is required by the terms of any applicable Indebtedness), to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Secured Debt of Parent, the Issuer or any Guarantor or Indebtedness of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to Parent or an Affiliate of Parent); provided such prepayment, repayment, redemption or purchase permanently retires, or reduces the related loan commitment (if any) for, such Indebtedness in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or purchased; 
(B)    to the extent Parent or such Subsidiary elects, to acquire Additional Assets or to make any other capital expenditures; 


50







(C)    with respect to the balance of Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B), to make an offer to the Holders of the Notes (and to holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness designated by Parent) to purchase Notes (and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained herein, as set forth below, and in the instruments governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness; and 
(D)    with respect to the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A), (B) and (C), for any purpose permitted by the terms of this Indenture. 
Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.09, such Net Available Cash shall be applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit Indebtedness or in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 
(b)    For the purposes of this Section 4.09, the following are deemed to be Cash Consideration:  
(1)    any liabilities, as shown on Parent’s or any Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of Parent or such Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to (A) a customary novation agreement that releases Parent or such Subsidiary from further liability or (B) an assignment agreement that includes, in lieu of such a release, the agreement of the transferee or its parent company to indemnify and hold harmless Parent or such Subsidiary from and against any loss, liability or cost in respect of such assumed liability; 
(2)    any securities, notes or other obligations received by Parent or any Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by Parent or such Subsidiary into cash or cash equivalents within 180 days after such Asset Disposition, to the extent of the cash and cash equivalents received in that conversion; and 
(3)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause that has at that time not been converted into cash or a cash equivalent, not to exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 3.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being determined in good faith by Parent and measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). 
(c)    The amount of Net Available Cash not applied or invested as provided above will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $100.0 million, the Issuer (or Parent on behalf of the Issuer) shall make an offer to purchase Notes (an “Offer”) within ten Business Days thereof, and shall purchase Notes tendered pursuant to such Offer for the Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness that contemporaneously 


51







requires the purchase, prepayment or redemption of such Indebtedness with the proceeds of sales of assets at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest (or, in respect of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture and the terms of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Offer and the contemporaneous offer with respect to any other Pari Passu Indebtedness contemplated above, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.  If the aggregate purchase price of the Notes and applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall allocate the Excess Proceeds between such Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis and will select the Notes to be purchased among both series on a pro rata basis but in denominations of €100,000 each or integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.  The remainder of the Excess Proceeds allocable to the other Pari Passu Indebtedness will be applied to such Pari Passu Indebtedness as provided pursuant to the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness.  Upon completion of such an Offer, Excess Proceeds will be deemed to be reset to zero. 
(d)    The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.09.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

	Limitation on Restricted Payments.


Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment:  
(a)    a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof; 
(b)    after giving effect to such Restricted Payment (including, without limitation, the incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance such Restricted Payment), the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be less than 2:00 to 1:00; or 
(c)    the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made after May 9, 2013 (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of the next paragraph), exceeds the sum (the “Restricted Payments Basket”) of (without duplication):  
(1)    50% of Consolidated Net Income of Parent and its Subsidiaries determined in accordance with GAAP for the period (taken as one accounting 


52

	SECTION 4.12.
	Additional Amounts.


(a)    All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer under or with respect to a Note, or a Guarantor under or with respect to a Note Guarantee, shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter, “Taxes”), unless any such Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted under applicable law.  If any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of The Netherlands or any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is organized or is a resident or does business for tax purposes or within or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (including the jurisdiction of any Paying Agent) or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein (any of the aforementioned being a “Taxing Jurisdiction”) will at any time be required to be withheld or deducted by any applicable withholding agent from any payment made under or with respect to a Note or a Note Guarantee, or if a beneficial owner actually pays any such Taxes where the Issuer, Guarantor or any other applicable withholding agent has failed to withhold or deduct Taxes required to be withheld or deducted from any payment made under or with respect to a Note or a Note Guarantee, the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each beneficial owner of such Note after such withholding or deduction by the applicable withholding agent of such Taxes (including any such deduction or withholding of any Taxes in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Amounts will not be paid:
(1)    to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed, deducted or withheld but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (or between a fiduciary, 


58







settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note, if the Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership or corporation) and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the receipt of such payment or the acquisition, ownership, holding or disposition of, or the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, such Note or Note Guarantee);
(2)    subject to subsection (e) of this Section 4.12, with respect to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or similar tax;
(3)    subject to subsection (e) of this Section 4.12, with respect to any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments under or with respect to such Note or Note Guarantee;
(4)    to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed, deducted or withheld if the Holder or beneficial owner of the Note or beneficial owner of any payment on such Note had (i) made a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption, to which it is entitled or (ii) complied with (to the extent legally eligible to do so) any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner of such Note or any payment on such Note (provided that (x) such declaration of nonresidence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required by the applicable law of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of the imposition, deduction or withholding of, such Taxes and (y) at least 45 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of nonresidence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required under the applicable law of the Taxing Jurisdiction, the relevant Holder at that time has been notified in writing by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required to be made);
(5)    to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed, deducted or withheld if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the Note for payment within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period); and
(6)    any combination of items (1) through (5) above.
The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Person to the Issuer or any Guarantor and any Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any such Person.
(b)    The Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, if it is the applicable withholding agent, shall make any applicable withholding or deduction required by law and remit the full 


59







amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.  The Issuer or the applicable Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to the Issuer or such Guarantor, such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by the Issuer or such Guarantor.  Copies of such receipts or other documentation shall be made available by the Issuer to the Holders or the Paying Agent, as applicable, upon request.
(c)    At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to any Notes is due and payable, if the Issuer or any Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of such Notes on the payment date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to any such date, the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate as described in the preceding sentence and shall pay such Additional Amounts promptly after such obligation arises.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled but shall not be obligated to rely on each Officers’ Certificate until receipt of a further Officers’ Certificate addressing such matters.
(d)    In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes or any other excise, property or similar Taxes that arise in any Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, issue, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, this Indenture, any Guarantee or any other document or instrument in relation thereto, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Holders of the Notes for any such Taxes paid by such Holders.

	[Reserved].


		
	SECTION 4.15.
	Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.


Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless:
(1)    Parent or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Secured Debt pursuant to the covenant described in Section 4.11 equal in amount to the net proceeds of the property sold or transferred or to be sold or to be transferred pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and secured by a Security Interest on the property to be leased, without equally and ratably securing the debt securities outstanding under this Indenture as provided under Section 4.11; or 
(2)    Parent or a Subsidiary shall apply, within 180 days after the effective date of such sale or transfer, an amount equal to such net proceeds to (i) the acquisition, 


60







construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment which are, or upon such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Facility or Facilities or a part thereof or (ii) the redemption of Notes issued under this Indenture or to the repayment or redemption of long-term Indebtedness of Parent or of any Subsidiary, or in part to such acquisition, construction, development or improvement and in part to such redemption and/or repayment.  In lieu of applying an amount equal to such net proceeds to such redemption Parent may, within 180 days after such sale or transfer, deliver to the appropriate indenture trustee Notes issued under this Indenture or long-term Indebtedness for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be applied to the redemption of such Notes or long-term Indebtedness by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of Notes or long-term Indebtedness.
		
	SECTION 4.16.
	Reports to Trustee and Holders.


(a)    Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding hereunder, Parent shall furnish to the Trustee the following:
(1)    all quarterly and annual financial information of Parent that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Parent were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that describes the financial condition and results of operations of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by Parent’s certified independent accountants; and
(2)    all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if Parent was required to file such reports (during any period in which Parent is not required to file reports with the Commission, such current reports need only be prepared or delivered if Parent determines in good faith that the information to be reported is material to the Holders of the Notes or the business, operations, assets, liabilities or financial position of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole),
in each case, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (and, during any period in which Parent is not required to file reports with the Commission, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations applicable to a “non-accelerated filer”).
(b)    In addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, Parent will make all such information publicly available (including via a non-password protected website) within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to Holders of the Notes upon request.  In addition, Parent and the other Guarantors shall, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, furnish to the Holders of such Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.  


61







(c)    Whether Parent files such reports with the Commission or posts its reports on its website, the public posting of such reports shall satisfy any requirement hereunder to deliver such reports to the Trustee and Holders of the Notes.  The terms of this Indenture shall not impose any duty on Parent under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related Commission rules that would not otherwise be applicable to it.
(d)    Delivery of such reports and information to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of them shall 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 Officers’ Certificates delivered pursuant to this Indenture, including Officers’ Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.06(a)).  The Trustee shall have no obligation to furnish such reports and information to Holders.  
		
	SECTION 4.17.
	Additional Note Guarantees.


If, on or after the Issue Date:
(1)    Parent or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary that incurs any Indebtedness under Credit Facilities or any syndicated loan or capital markets debt securities in an aggregate principal amount greater than or equal to $150.0 million or guarantees any such Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries; or
(2)    any Domestic Subsidiary of Parent incurs Indebtedness under Credit Facilities or any syndicated loan or capital markets debt securities in an aggregate principal amount greater than or equal to $150.0 million or guarantees any such Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries and that Domestic Subsidiary was not a Guarantor immediately prior to such incurrence or guarantee (an “Additional Obligor”),
then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary or Additional Obligor, as the case may be, shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit J to this Indenture within 30 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created or became an Additional Obligor. 
In addition, Parent shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such supplemental Indenture complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied, and such opinion of counsel shall additionally state that such supplemental Indenture is enforceable against the new Guarantor, subject to customary qualifications, and the Trustee shall have completed its customary client identification process for such new Guarantor.
		
	SECTION 4.18.
	Suspension of Covenants.




62







(a)    If on any date following the Issue Date with respect to a series of Notes (i) the Notes of such series have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such series (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), Parent and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.09, 4.10, 4.15(2) and 4.17 hereof with respect to the Notes of such series (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).  
(b)    In the event that Parent and its Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to a series of Notes for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating assigned to such series of Notes or downgrade the rating assigned to such series of Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then Parent and its Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Notes of such series for all future events.  The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.”
(c)    In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default with respect to Notes.  With respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 4.10 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period except that no Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended.  Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amounts available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.10.  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the continued existence after any reinstitution of the foregoing covenants of facts and circumstances or obligations arising from transactions that occurred during the period such covenants were suspended shall not constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in this Indenture or cause an Event of Default thereunder.
(d)    The Issuer, in an Officers’ Certificate, shall provide the Trustee notice of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.  The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer’s future compliance with their covenants, (iii) notify the Holders of a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date or (iv) monitor compliance with the covenants contained in this Indenture generally.  The Issuer shall deliver a copy of any such Officers’ Certificate to the Holders upon request.
		
	SECTION 4.19.
	Maintenance of Listing.


The Issuer shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each series of Notes to be listed, subject to notice of issuance, on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market as promptly as practicable after the Issue 


63







Date and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing for as long as any of the Notes of such series are outstanding.  If such Notes fail to be, or at any time cease to be, listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to list such series of Notes on another recognized stock exchange in western Europe as promptly as practicable after the delisting of such Notes from the Official List of Euronext Dublin.

(b)    in the case of a merger, consolidation or Transfer involving the Issuer, the Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such Transfer has been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of a member state of the European Union (as it existed on December 31, 2003), Switzerland, the United States or a state thereof;
(2)    the successor Person expressly assumes by a supplemental indenture or amendment of the relevant documents the obligations of Parent, the Issuer or such Subsidiary under the Notes and this Indenture;
(3)    Parent, the Issuer or the successor Person, as the case may be, shall not immediately after such transaction, in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition; and 
(4)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default exists.
Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition complies with the requirements of 


64







this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Notes, this Indenture and the Note Guarantees, as applicable, constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer or applicable Guarantor or other surviving entity, subject to customary exceptions.

	SECTION 6.02.
	Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission.


If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing under this Indenture with respect to a series of Notes, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes then outstanding may declare all Notes of the applicable series to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee, in the case of notice by Holders, specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and the same shall become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series may rescind and annul such acceleration if:


67







(1)    all Events of Default with respect to such series of Notes, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;
(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)     the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements, indemnities and advances (including attorneys’ fees); and 
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
		
	SECTION 6.03.
	Other Remedies.


If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the applicable series of Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the series of Notes or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount outstanding of the Notes of such series to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the applicable series of Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative.  Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Issuer and the Guarantors.
		
	SECTION 6.04.
	Waiver of Existing Defaults and Events of Default.


(a)    Subject to Sections 2.10, 6.02, 6.08 and 8.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of a series of Notes then outstanding shall have the right to waive past Defaults under this Indenture with respect to such series of Notes except a Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on any Note as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a covenant or a provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Holders as provided for in Section 8.02.  The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders of such series have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents.  In case of any such 


68







waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes of such series, respectively.
(b)    Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
		
	SECTION 6.05.
	Control by Majority.


Subject to Sections 2.10 and 7.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture with respect to such series.  The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder not taking part in such direction, and the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed may involve it in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.  In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) that might be caused by taking such action or following such direction.
		
	SECTION 6.06.
	Limitation on Suits.


Subject to Section 6.08, a Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
(1)    the Holder has given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(2)    the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes of a series then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3)    such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;
(4)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity against any cost, liability or expense that might be caused by complying with such request; and


69







(5)    during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.
A Noteholder may not use any provision of this Indenture to disturb or prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder.
		
	SECTION 6.07.
	No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.


No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Parent or of any Subsidiary of Parent, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of Parent or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Guarantees 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 may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
		
	SECTION 6.08.
	Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after such respective due dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
		
	SECTION 6.09.
	Collection Suit by Trustee.


If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any other obligor on the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate set forth in the applicable Notes, and such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel (including attorneys’ fees).
		
	SECTION 6.10.
	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 7.07) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such 


70







judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceedings.
		
	SECTION 6.11.
	Priorities.

THIRD:  to Noteholders of the applicable series of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes of such series; and
FOURTH:  to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders of the applicable series of such Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11.
		
	SECTION 6.12.
	Undertaking for Costs.


In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all costs incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all such fees and expenses incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of the principal of or interest 


75

	SECTION 7.07.
	Compensation and Indemnity.


The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee and the Agents from time to time compensation as agreed upon for its services hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust).  The Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) incurred or made by it in connection with the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
In the event of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or the Trustee considering it expedient or necessary or being requested by the Issuer to undertake duties which the Trustee and the Issuer agree to be of an exceptional nature or agree to otherwise be outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee under this Indenture, the Issuer shall pay on demand to the Trustee such additional remuneration as shall be agreed between them.  For the avoidance of doubt, any duties in connection with investments, the granting of consents or waivers, concurring in modifications, substitution of the Issuer or enforcement, or during the period post such enforcement, shall be deemed to be of an exceptional nature.

(a)    (in a case to which the first paragraph of this Section 7.07 applies) upon the amount of the remuneration; or
(b)    (in a case to which the second paragraph of this Section 7.07 applies) upon whether such duties shall be of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee under these presents, or upon such additional remuneration, such matters shall be determined by an independent financial institution or person with experience of the capital markets and of working with trustees (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) selected by the Trustee and approved by the Issuer or, failing such approval, nominated (on the application of the Trustee) by a Vice President of the London International Court of Arbitration (the expenses involved in such nomination and the fees of such investment bank being payable by the Issuer) and the determination of any such independent financial institution or person with experience of

the capital markets and of working with trustees shall be final and binding upon the Trustee and the Issuer.
The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee, the Agents and their respective agents, employees, stockholders, directors and officers and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the performance of its duties under this Indenture or the exercise of its rights and powers under the Notes and the Guarantees, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.07), the Notes and the Guarantees or otherwise arising under this Indenture and including the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer, any Guarantor or otherwise) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs).  The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing promptly of any third party claim of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity (each, a “Third Party Claim”); provided that the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not relieve the Issuer and Guarantors of their obligations hereunder except to the extent the Issuer and the Guarantors are actually prejudiced thereby.  Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement or provide any indemnification for any other Losses associated therewith to the extent such settlement is made in connection with any Third Party Claim without its consent, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.  The Trustee shall have the right to its own counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default of such counsel in connection with any Third Party Claim to the extent the Trustee reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists or is required in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and the Agents shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except for such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.  Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.


77







The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and the Agents and each predecessor Trustee and predecessor Agent and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and the Agents and each predecessor Trustee and predecessor Agent for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be joint and several liabilities of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Agents and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (7) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.
For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this Article Seven, provided, however, that the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any Person other than the Trustee acting as the Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent and any other Agent under this Indenture.
		
	SECTION 7.08.
	Replacement of Trustee.


The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing and without bearing any costs incurred with respect to such resignation.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Issuer and the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Issuer may remove the Trustee at its election if:
(1)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;
(2)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(3)    a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(4)    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.
If a successor Trustee does not take office 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 petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


78







If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, Noteholders holding at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and 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.  Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.07, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, 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.  A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Noteholder.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
		
	SECTION 7.09.
	Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc.


If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.
		
	SECTION 7.10.
	Eligibility; Disqualification.


There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is (i) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, England and Wales or within the European Union; (ii) authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power; and (iii) a corporation which customarily performs such corporate trustee roles and provides such corporate trustee services in transactions similar in nature to the offering of the Notes as described in the Offering Memorandum.
		
	SECTION 7.11.
	Paying Agents.


The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent (other than the initial Paying Agent appointed hereunder) to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.11:
(A)    that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee;
(B)    that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and
(C)    that it will give the Trustee written notice within three Business Days of any failure of the Issuer (or by any obligor on the Notes) in the payment of any 


79







installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable.
By its execution and delivery of this Indenture, BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch, as the initial Paying Agent for the Notes, agrees with the Trustee to each of the foregoing covenants.
The Paying Agent and the Issuer undertake to respect and protect the confidentiality of all information acquired as a result of or pursuant to this Indenture and will not, without the other party’s written consent, disclosure any such confidential information to a third party, unless it is required to do so by applicable law or regulation or is specifically authorized to do so under this Indenture, especially where the provision of such information is the object or part of the services to be provided by the Paying Agent.  The Paying Agent will only ask for the information needed to fulfill its obligations in providing the services required of such Paying Agent under this Indenture.  The Issuer may, at its request, access the data relating to it and will be entitled to have it amended.  The data will be kept for the period which the Paying Agent is required to keep it by law.  The Issuer expressly authorizes the transfer of such data to third parties or to the head office of the Paying Agent if such transmission is required to allow the Paying Agent to provide its services to Issuer, provided, however, that such third parties must be subject to obligations substantially similar to those contained in this Indenture regarding maintenance of confidentiality of such data.  Paying Agent shall be responsible for disclosure of such confidential information by any such third party in violation of those obligations.
SECTION 7.12.    Agents.
The rights, powers, duties and obligations and actions of each Agent under this Indenture are several and not (i) joint or (ii) joint and several.
Any Agent, including the Paying Agent hereunder, may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Indenture at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer.  The Trustee and the Issuer may remove any Agent at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to such Agent; provided, however, that no prior notice shall be required for any removal of any Agent for good cause.  Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee.  Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice.  If the Issuer is unable to replace the resigning Agent within 30 days after such notice (or, immediately upon removal in connection with any removal of an Agent for good cause), the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder in its possession to the Trustee or may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent or for other appropriate relief.  The costs and expenses (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Issuer.  Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent.  Upon its resignation and delivery of any funds, the Agent shall be discharged 


80







of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.07.  The Issuer and the Agents acknowledge and agree that in the event of a Default or Event of Default, the Trustee may, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Agents, require that the Agents act as agents of, and take instructions exclusively from, the Trustee. Until they have received such written notice from the Trustee, the Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuer.
No Agent shall be liable for interest on any money received by it. Moneys held by Agents need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(8)    release Parent, the Issuer or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

	SECTION 8.03.
	[Reserved].


		
	SECTION 8.04.
	Revocation and Effect of Consents.


(a)    After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note.
(b)    The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver.  If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Noteholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall 


83







be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Noteholders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Noteholders has been obtained.
(c)    After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 8.02(b).  In that case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Noteholder who has consented to it and every subsequent Noteholder or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.
		
	SECTION 8.05.
	Notation on or Exchange of Notes.


If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Issuer) shall request the Holder of the Note (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Issuer) to deliver it to the Trustee.  In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Noteholder.  Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue, the Guarantors shall endorse and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.  Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
		
	SECTION 8.06.
	Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.


The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Eight if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  If it does affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may in its absolute discretion, but need not, sign such amendment, supplement or waiver.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in signing or refusing to sign an amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 11.04, that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer in Article Two and in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.
		
	SECTION 9.02.
	Legal Defeasance.




85







The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to a series of Notes outstanding on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of the applicable series and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such series of Notes and this Indenture insofar as such series of Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall, subject to Section 9.06, execute instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(1)    the rights of the Holders of a series of Notes outstanding under this Indenture to receive solely from the trust described in Section 9.04 and as more fully set forth in Section 9.04, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, 
(2)    the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article Two and Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.05,

Concurrently with any Legal Defeasance, the Issuer may, at its further option, cause to be terminated, as of the date on which such Legal Defeasance occurs, all of the obligations under any or all of the Note Guarantees with respect to such series of Notes, if any, then existing and obtain the release of the Note Guarantees of any or all Guarantors with respect to such series of Notes.  In order to exercise such option regarding a Note Guarantee, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with written notice of its desire to terminate such Note Guarantee prior to the delivery of the Opinions of Counsel referred to in Section 9.04.
Subject to compliance with this Article Nine, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 9.02 with respect to the Notes of a series notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 below with respect to the Notes of such series.
		
	SECTION 9.03.
	Covenant Defeasance.


The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under Sections 4.08, 4.11, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a) released with respect to the outstanding Notes of a series on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series, the Issuer may fail 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 


86







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 under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise of the option in this Section 9.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5) and (6) shall not constitute Events of Default with respect to such series of Notes.
Notwithstanding any discharge or release of any obligations under this Indenture pursuant to Section 9.02 or this Section 9.03, the Issuer’s obligations in Article Two and Sections 7.07, 9.05, 9.06, 9.07 and 9.08 shall survive until such time as the Notes of such series have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 9.05, 9.07 and 9.08 shall survive.
		
	SECTION 9.04.
	Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

(6)    the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying) stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes of such series issued under this Indenture over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others; and
(7)    the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel upon which the Trustee shall have the right to rely, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

All money and European Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or such entity appointed or designated (as Agent) by the Trustee for this purpose pursuant to Section 9.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agents, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer and the Guarantors shall (on a joint and several basis) pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the European Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.04 or the principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Anything in this Article Nine to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon a request of the Issuer any money or 


88







European Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
		
	SECTION 9.06.
	Reinstatement.


If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or European Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02 or 9.03 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 and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Nine until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or European Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01; provided that if the Issuer or the Guarantors have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or European Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.
		
	SECTION 9.07.
	Moneys Held by Paying Agent.


In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys and European Government Obligations then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Issuer, be paid or delivered to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys and European Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.04, to the Issuer upon a request of the Issuer (or, if such moneys and European Government Obligations had been deposited by the Guarantors, to such Guarantors), and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.
		
	SECTION 9.08.
	Moneys Held by Trustee.


Any moneys and European Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Issuer or the Guarantors in trust for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid or returned to the Issuer (or, if appropriate, the Guarantors) upon a request of the Issuer, or if such moneys and European Government Obligations are then held by the Issuer or the Guarantors in trust, such moneys and European Government Obligations shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Note entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer and the Guarantors for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust moneys and European Government Obligations shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or any such 


89







Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors, either mail to each Noteholder affected, at the address shown in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.06, or cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks, in one newspaper published in the English language, customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, the State of New York, a notice that such moneys and European Government Obligations remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys and European Government Obligations then remaining will be repaid or returned to the Issuer.  After payment or return to the Issuer or the Guarantors or the release of any moneys and European Government Obligations held in trust by the Issuer or any Guarantors, as the case may be, Holders entitled thereto must look only to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES
		
	SECTION 10.01.
	Guarantee.


The Guarantors, by execution of this Indenture, jointly and severally, guarantee to each Holder and to the Trustee (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and punctual payment of all other obligations and due and punctual performance of all obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms of such Note and this Indenture and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  Each Guarantor, by execution of this Indenture, agrees that, subject only to the applicable provisions, if any, of Section 10.06, its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Note or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto by the Holder of such Note, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such Guarantor.  Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection).
Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and 


90







interest thereon.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.
The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Trustee or any Holder under the Note Guarantees.
		
	SECTION 10.02.
	Execution and Delivery.


To further evidence the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer thereof.
Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall be in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.
		
	SECTION 10.03.
	Release of Guarantors.


(a)    A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than Parent) will be unconditionally and automatically released and discharged upon any of the following:
(1)    any Transfer (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) by any Guarantor (other than Parent) to any Person that is not a Guarantor of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Guarantor; provided that such Guarantor is also released from all of its obligations in respect of Indebtedness under each Credit Facility and any other Indebtedness that gave rise to the obligation to provide such Note Guarantee;
(2)    any Transfer directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) by any Person to any Person that is not a Guarantor of Equity Interests of a Guarantor or any issuance by a Guarantor (other than Parent) of its Equity 


91







Interests, such that such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that such Guarantor is also released from all of its obligations in respect of Indebtedness under each Credit Facility and any other Indebtedness that gave rise to the obligation to provide such Note Guarantee;
(3)    the release of such Guarantor from all obligations of such Guarantor in respect of Indebtedness under each Credit Facility and any other Indebtedness that gave rise to the obligation to provide such Note Guarantee; or
(4)    upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article Nine.
(b)    No such release or discharge of a Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be effective against the Trustee or the Holders of Notes to which such Note Guarantee relates (i) if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture as of the time of such proposed release until such time as such Default or Event of Default is cured and waived (unless such release is in connection with the sale of the Equity Interests in such Guarantor constituting collateral for a Credit Facility in connection with the exercise of remedies against such Equity Interests or in connection with a Transfer permitted by this Indenture if, but for the existence of such Default or Event of Default, such Guarantor would otherwise be entitled to be released from its Guarantee following the sale of such Equity Interests or such Transfer) and (ii) until the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying, stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release and discharge is authorized and permitted under this Indenture.  
(c)    If the Note Guarantee of any Guarantor is deemed to be released or is automatically released, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the identity of the released Guarantor, the basis for release in reasonable detail, and that such release complies with this Indenture.  At the request of the Issuer, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that a Guarantor has been released and that execution by the Trustee of an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee complies with this Indenture, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, execute any documents reasonably requested by either the Issuer or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes and under this Article Ten (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any automatic release pursuant to this Section 10.03).
(d)    Except as provided under Article Eight, the Note Guarantee of Parent may be released and discharged with respect to a series of Notes only with the consent of Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series issued under this Indenture voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).
		
	SECTION 10.04.
	Waiver of Subrogation.




92







Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.04 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
		
	SECTION 10.05.
	Notice to Trustee.


The Issuer or any Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to such Issuer or any such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in respect of the Note Guarantees.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Ten or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Note Guarantees, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Issuer no later than three Business Days prior to such payment; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.05, and subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice referred to in this Section 10.05 at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such payment may become payable for any purpose under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it less than three Business Days prior to such date.
		
	SECTION 10.06.
	Limitation on Liability of Guarantors.


Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of a Guarantor does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer 


93







Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Holder and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of a Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor result in the obligations of such Guarantor not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Within 5 Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee of written notice by any three or more Holders stating that such Holders desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes, and such notice is accompanied by (i) a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such Holders propose to transmit, and (ii) reasonable proof that each such Holder has owned a Note for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such notice, the Trustee shall, at its election, either:
(A)    afford to such Holders access to all information so furnished to or received by the Trustee; or

If the amount of Euros that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Euros originally due to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, from and against all loss or damage arising out of, or as a result of, such deficiency.  This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Indenture or the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder or the Trustee from time to time and shall continue in full 


100







force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF RESTRICTED NOTE]
LKQ EUROPEAN HOLDINGS B.V.
3.625% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2026
1.    Interest.  LKQ EUROPEAN HOLDINGS B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 3.625% per annum.  Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [insert applicable date] to but excluding the date on which interest is paid.  Interest shall be payable in arrears on each April 1 and October 1, commencing [insert first payment date].  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed.  The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the 2026 Notes.
2.    Method of Payment.  The Issuer will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the Clearing System Business Day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender 2026 Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Issuer will pay principal and interest in Euros.  Interest may be paid by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the 2026 Notes.
3.    Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.  Initially, BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch will act as a Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent without notice.  The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.
4.    Indenture.  The Issuer issued the 2026 Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 9, 2018 (the “Indenture”) among, inter alios, the Issuer, the Guarantors and BNP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited (the “Trustee”).  This is one of an issue of 2026 Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture.  The terms of the 2026 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time.  The 2026 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them.  Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
5.    Optional Redemption.  At any time prior to April 1, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to (i) 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes issued under the Indenture and (ii) all or a portion of any Additional 2026 Notes issued after the Issue Date, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 103.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, with an amount of cash no greater than the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of all Equity Offerings by the 


A-1-4






Issuer or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Issuer (including Parent) (to the extent the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Equity Offerings are contributed to the Issuer) since the Issue Date; provided that:
		
	•
	at least 65% (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional 2026 Notes) of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding 2026 Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and


		
	•
	the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.


In addition, prior to April 1, 2021, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the 2026 Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the 2026 Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus the 2026 Make-Whole Premium (a “2026 Make-Whole Redemption”).  The Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent of the 2026 Make-Whole Premium by delivering to the Paying Agent, on or before the applicable 2026 Make-Whole Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation.
On or after April 1, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 2026 Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of 2026 Notes redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:
	
		
	Year
	Percentage

	2021
	101.813%

	2022
	100.906%

	2023 and thereafter   
	100.000%






Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of accrued but unpaid interest in connection with the redemption of the 2026 Notes is subject to the rights of a Holder of the 2026 Notes on a record date for the payment of interest whose Notes are to be redeemed on or after such record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date to receive interest on such interest payment date.
6.    Redemption of Notes for Changes in Withholding Taxes.  The Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding 2026 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.  This redemption applies only if as a result of any amendment to or change in the laws or treaties (including any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any 


A-1-5






Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in any official position of a taxing authority in any Taxing Jurisdiction concerning the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rulings or regulations (including by virtue of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change in each case is publicly announced and effective after the Issue Date (or in the case Additional Amounts caused by a tax imposed by a jurisdiction that became a Taxing Jurisdiction after the Issue Date, after the date on which such jurisdiction became a Taxing Jurisdiction), the Issuer has become or will become obligated to pay material Additional Amounts (as set forth in Section 4.12 of the Indenture) on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to such 2026 Notes and the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that such obligation cannot be avoided (including, without limitation, by changing the jurisdiction from which or through which payment is made) by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuer.  Notice of such redemption may not be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of such 2026 Notes then due nor later than 180 days after such amendment or change referred to in the preceding sentence.  At the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect.  Immediately prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption described above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to elect to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to elect to redeem have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized expertise in the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer, as the case may be, has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such amendment or change.
7.    Notice of Redemption.  Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail or sent electronically at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of 2026 Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  For 2026 Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.  If the Issuer effects an optional redemption of the 2026 Notes, it will, if and for so long as any 2026 Notes are listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and the rules of Euronext Dublin so require, inform Euronext Dublin of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption.  If any 2026 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in the notice relating to such redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of any related transaction.
8.    Special Mandatory Redemption.  The 2026 Notes will be redeemed in whole at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the issue price of the 2026 Notes (as set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, from April 9, 2018 (or, if after the October 1, 2018 interest payment date, from October 1, 2018) to, but excluding, the Special 


A-1-6






Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), in the event that on or prior to October 6, 2018, (i) the Stahlgruber Acquisition is not consummated or (ii) the Stahlgruber Agreement is terminated.  Each of the events specified in clauses (i) and (ii) in the preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event.”
Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, Parent shall promptly (but in no event later than five business days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing (such date of notification, the “Redemption Notice Date”) that the 2026 Notes are to be redeemed on the fifth business day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in each case in accordance with Section 3.07 of the Indenture.  Parent, on the Redemption Notice Date, shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice to each Holder in accordance with Section 3.07 of the Indenture that all of the outstanding 2026 Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the 2026 Notes.  At or prior to 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (but not prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date), the Issuer shall deposit funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the 2026 Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.  If such deposit is made as provided above, the 2026 Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date and Holders of the 2026 Notes, only right will be to receive payment of the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Price upon surrender of their 2026 Notes.
9.    Offers To Purchase.  The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Disposition and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase outstanding 2026 Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
10.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The 2026 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 each and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder may transfer or exchange 2026 Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2026 Notes or portion of a 2026 Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any 2026 Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.
11.    Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of this 2026 Note may be treated as the owner of this 2026 Note for all purposes.
12.    Unclaimed Money.  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request.  After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.
13.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc.  The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding 2026 Notes, amend, waive or supplement 


A-1-7






the Indenture or the 2026 Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Issuer of its obligations to the Holders and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.  Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the 2026 Notes may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular 2026 Notes to be affected.
14.    Restrictive Covenants.  The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions and on the ability of Parent and the Issuer to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries and requires Parent to provide reports to Holders of the 2026 Notes.  Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.  Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
15.    Successor Corporation.  When a successor Person assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 2026 Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor Person will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations.
16.    Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the 2026 Notes to be due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) of the Indenture occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the 2026 Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2026 Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:  
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;


A-1-8






(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)    the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and 
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7) of the Indenture, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the 2026 Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 2026 Notes.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2026 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
17.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuer.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
18.    No Recourse Against Others.  No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member of the Board of Directors or holder of Capital Stock of Parent or of any Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of 2026 Notes by accepting a 2026 Note waives and releases all such liability. 
19.    Discharge.  The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the 2026 Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of cash in Euros, European Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the 2026 Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
20.    Guarantees.  From and after the Issue Date, the 2026 Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders.  Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF RESTRICTED NOTE]
LKQ EUROPEAN HOLDINGS B.V.
4.125% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2028
1.    Interest.  LKQ EUROPEAN HOLDINGS B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 4.125% per annum.  Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [insert applicable date] to but excluding the date on which interest is paid.  Interest shall be payable in arrears on each April 1 and October 1, commencing [insert first payment date].  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed.  The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the 2028 Notes.
2.    Method of Payment.  The Issuer will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the Clearing System Business Day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender 2028 Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Issuer will pay principal and interest in Euros.  Interest may be paid by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the 2028 Notes.
3.    Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.  Initially, BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch will act as a Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent without notice.  The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.
4.    Indenture.  The Issuer issued the 2028 Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 9, 2018 (the “Indenture”) among, inter alios, the Issuer, the Guarantors and BNP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited (the “Trustee”).  This is one of an issue of 2028 Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture.  The terms of the 2028 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time.  The 2028 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them.  Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
5.    Optional Redemption.  At any time prior to April 1, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to (i) 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes issued under the Indenture and (ii) all or a portion of any Additional 2028 Notes issued after the Issue Date, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 104.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, with an amount of cash no greater than the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of all Equity Offerings by the 


A-2-4






Issuer or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Issuer (including Parent) (to the extent the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Equity Offerings are contributed to the Issuer) since the Issue Date; provided that:
		
	•
	at least 65% (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional 2028 Notes) of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding 2028 Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and


		
	•
	the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.


In addition, prior to April 1, 2023, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the 2028 Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus the 2028 Make-Whole Premium (a “2028 Make-Whole Redemption”).  The Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent of the 2028 Make-Whole Premium by delivering to the Paying Agent, on or before the applicable 2028 Make-Whole Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation.
On or after April 1, 2023, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 2028 Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of 2028 Notes redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:
	
		
	Year
	Percentage

	2023
	102.063%

	2024
	101.375%

	2025
	100.688%

	2026 and thereafter   
	100.000%






Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of accrued but unpaid interest in connection with the redemption of the 2028 Notes is subject to the rights of a Holder of the 2028 Notes on a record date for the payment of interest whose Notes are to be redeemed on or after such record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date to receive interest on such interest payment date.
6.    Redemption of Notes for Changes in Withholding Taxes.  The Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.  This redemption applies only if as a result of any amendment to or change 


A-2-5






in the laws or treaties (including any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in any official position of a taxing authority in any Taxing Jurisdiction concerning the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rulings or regulations (including by virtue of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change in each case is publicly announced and effective after the Issue Date (or in the case Additional Amounts caused by a tax imposed by a jurisdiction that became a Taxing Jurisdiction after the Issue Date, after the date on which such jurisdiction became a Taxing Jurisdiction), the Issuer has become or will become obligated to pay material Additional Amounts (as set forth in Section 4.12 of the Indenture) on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to such 2028 Notes and the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that such obligation cannot be avoided (including, without limitation, by changing the jurisdiction from which or through which payment is made) by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuer.  Notice of such redemption may not be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of such 2028 Notes then due nor later than 180 days after such amendment or change referred to in the preceding sentence.  At the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect.  Immediately prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption described above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to elect to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to elect to redeem have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized expertise in the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer, as the case may be, has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such amendment or change.
7.    Notice of Redemption.  Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail or sent electronically at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of 2028 Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  For 2028 Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.  If the Issuer effects an optional redemption of the 2028 Notes, it will, if and for so long as any 2028 Notes are listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and the rules of Euronext Dublin so require, inform Euronext Dublin of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption.  If any 2028 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in the notice relating to such redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of any related transaction.
8.    Special Mandatory Redemption.  The 2028 Notes will be redeemed in whole at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the issue price of the 2028 Notes (as set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, from April 9, 2018 (or, if after 


A-2-6






the October 1, 2018 interest payment date, from October 1, 2018) to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), in the event that on or prior to October 6, 2018, (i) the Stahlgruber Acquisition is not consummated or (ii) the Stahlgruber Agreement is terminated.  Each of the events specified in clauses (i) and (ii) in the preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event.”
Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, Parent shall promptly (but in no event later than five business days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing (such date of notification, the “Redemption Notice Date”) that 2028 Notes are to be redeemed on the fifth business day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in each case in accordance with Section 3.07 of the Indenture.  Parent, on the Redemption Notice Date, shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice to each Holder in accordance with Section 3.07 of the Indenture that all of the outstanding 2028 Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the 2028 Notes.  At or prior to 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (but not prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date), the Issuer shall deposit funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the 2028 Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.  If such deposit is made as provided above, the 2028 Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date and Holders of the 2028 Notes, only right will be to receive payment of the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Price upon surrender of their 2028 Notes.
9.    Offers To Purchase.  The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Disposition and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase outstanding 2028 Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
10.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The 2028 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 each and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder may transfer or exchange 2028 Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2028 Notes or portion of a 2028 Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any 2028 Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.
11.    Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of this 2028 Note may be treated as the owner of this 2028 Note for all purposes.
12.    Unclaimed Money.  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request.  After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.


A-2-7






13.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc.  The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding 2028 Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the 2028 Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Issuer of its obligations to the Holders and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.  Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the 2028 Notes may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular 2028 Notes to be affected.
14.    Restrictive Covenants.  The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions and on the ability of Parent and the Issuer to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries and requires Parent to provide reports to Holders of the 2028 Notes.  Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.  Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
15.    Successor Corporation.  When a successor Person assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 2028 Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor Person will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations.
16.    Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the 2028 Notes to be due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) of the Indenture occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the 2028 Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2028 Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:  
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;


A-2-8






(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)    the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and 
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7) of the Indenture, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the 2028 Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 2028 Notes.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2028 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
17.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuer.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
18.    No Recourse Against Others.  No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member of the Board of Directors or holder of Capital Stock of Parent or of any Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of 2028 Notes by accepting a 2028 Note waives and releases all such liability. 
19.    Discharge.  The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the 2028 Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of cash in Euros, European Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the 2028 Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
20.    Guarantees.  From and after the Issue Date, the 2028 Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders.  Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF UNRESTRICTED NOTE]
LKQ EUROPEAN HOLDINGS B.V.
3.625% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2026
1.    Interest.  LKQ EUROPEAN HOLDINGS B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 3.625% per annum.  Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [insert applicable date] to but excluding the date on which interest is paid.  Interest shall be payable in arrears on each April 1 and October 1, commencing [insert first payment date].  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed.  The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the 2026 Notes.
2.    Method of Payment.  The Issuer will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the Clearing System Business Day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender 2026 Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Issuer will pay principal and interest in Euros.  Interest may be paid by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the 2026 Notes.
3.    Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.  Initially, BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch will act as a Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent without notice.  The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.
4.    Indenture.  The Issuer issued the 2026 Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 9, 2018 (the “Indenture”) among, inter alios, the Issuer, the Guarantors and BNP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited (the “Trustee”).  This is one of an issue of 2026 Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture.  The terms of the 2026 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time.  The 2026 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them.  Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
5.    Optional Redemption.  At any time prior to April 1, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to (i) 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes issued under the Indenture and (ii) all or a portion of any Additional 2026 Notes issued after the Issue Date, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 103.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, with an amount of cash no greater than the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of all Equity Offerings by the 


A-3-4






Issuer or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Issuer (including Parent) (to the extent the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Equity Offerings are contributed to the Issuer) since the Issue Date; provided that:
		
	•
	at least 65% (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional 2026 Notes) of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding 2026 Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and


		
	•
	the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.


In addition, prior to April 1, 2021, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the 2026 Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the 2026 Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus the 2026 Make-Whole Premium (a “2026 Make-Whole Redemption”).  The Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent of the 2026 Make-Whole Premium by delivering to the Paying Agent, on or before the applicable 2026 Make-Whole Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation.
On or after April 1, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 2026 Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of 2026 Notes redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:
	
		
	Year
	Percentage

	2021
	101.813%

	2022
	100.906%

	2023 and thereafter   
	100.000%






Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of accrued but unpaid interest in connection with the redemption of the 2026 Notes is subject to the rights of a Holder of the 2026 Notes on a record date for the payment of interest whose Notes are to be redeemed on or after such record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date to receive interest on such interest payment date.
6.    Redemption of Notes for Changes in Withholding Taxes.  The Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding 2026 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.  This redemption applies only if as a result of any amendment to or change in the laws or treaties (including any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any 


A-3-5






Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in any official position of a taxing authority in any Taxing Jurisdiction concerning the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rulings or regulations (including by virtue of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change in each case is publicly announced and effective after the Issue Date (or in the case Additional Amounts caused by a tax imposed by a jurisdiction that became a Taxing Jurisdiction after the Issue Date, after the date on which such jurisdiction became a Taxing Jurisdiction), the Issuer has become or will become obligated to pay material Additional Amounts (as set forth in Section 4.12 of the Indenture) on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to such 2026 Notes and the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that such obligation cannot be avoided (including, without limitation, by changing the jurisdiction from which or through which payment is made) by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuer.  Notice of such redemption may not be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of such 2026 Notes then due nor later than 180 days after such amendment or change referred to in the preceding sentence.  At the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect.  Immediately prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption described above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to elect to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to elect to redeem have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized expertise in the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer, as the case may be, has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such amendment or change.
7.    Notice of Redemption.  Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail or sent electronically at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of 2026 Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  For 2026 Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.  If the Issuer effects an optional redemption of the 2026 Notes, it will, if and for so long as any 2026 Notes are listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and the rules of Euronext Dublin so require, inform Euronext Dublin of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption.  If any 2026 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in the notice relating to such redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of any related transaction.
8.    Special Mandatory Redemption.  The 2026 Notes will be redeemed in whole at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the issue price of the 2026 Notes (as set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, from April 9, 2018 (or, if after the October 1, 2018 interest payment date, from October 1, 2018) to, but excluding, the Special 


A-3-6






Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), in the event that on or prior to October 6, 2018, (i) the Stahlgruber Acquisition is not consummated or (ii) the Stahlgruber Agreement is terminated.  Each of the events specified in clauses (i) and (ii) in the preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event.”
Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, Parent shall promptly (but in no event later than five business days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing (such date of notification, the “Redemption Notice Date”) that the 2026 Notes are to be redeemed on the fifth business day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in each case in accordance with Section 3.07 of the Indenture.  Parent, on the Redemption Notice Date, shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice to each Holder in accordance with Section 3.07 of the Indenture that all of the outstanding 2026 Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the 2026 Notes.  At or prior to 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (but not prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date), the Issuer shall deposit funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the 2026 Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.  If such deposit is made as provided above, the 2026 Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date and Holders of the 2026 Notes, only right will be to receive payment of the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Price upon surrender of their 2026 Notes.
9.    Offers To Purchase.  The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Disposition and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase outstanding 2026 Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
10.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The 2026 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 each and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder may transfer or exchange 2026 Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2026 Notes or portion of a 2026 Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any 2026 Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.
11.    Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of this 2026 Note may be treated as the owner of this 2026 Note for all purposes.
12.    Unclaimed Money.  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request.  After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.
13.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc.  The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding 2026 Notes, amend, waive or supplement 


A-3-7






the Indenture or the 2026 Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Issuer of its obligations to the Holders and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.  Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the 2026 Notes may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular 2026 Notes to be affected.
14.    Restrictive Covenants.  The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions and on the ability of Parent and the Issuer to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries and requires Parent to provide reports to Holders of the 2026 Notes.  Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.  Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
15.    Successor Corporation.  When a successor Person assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 2026 Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor Person will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations.
16.    Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the 2026 Notes to be due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) of the Indenture occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the 2026 Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2026 Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:  
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;


A-3-8






(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)    the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and 
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7) of the Indenture, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the 2026 Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 2026 Notes.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2026 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
17.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuer.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
18.    No Recourse Against Others.  No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member of the Board of Directors or holder of Capital Stock of the Issuer or of any Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of Parent or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of 2026 Notes by accepting a 2026 Note waives and releases all such liability. 
19.    Discharge.  The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the 2026 Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of cash in Euros, European Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the 2026 Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
20.    Guarantees.  From and after the Issue Date, the 2026 Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders.  Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

This is one of an issue of 2028 Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture.  The terms of the 2028 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time.  The 2028 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them.  Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
5.    Optional Redemption.  At any time prior to April 1, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to (i) 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes issued under the Indenture and (ii) all or a portion of any Additional 2028 Notes issued after the Issue Date, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 104.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, with an amount of cash no greater than the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of all Equity Offerings by the 


A-4-4






Issuer or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Issuer (including Parent) (to the extent the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Equity Offerings are contributed to the Issuer) since the Issue Date; provided that:
		
	•
	at least 65% (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional 2028 Notes) of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding 2028 Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and


		
	•
	the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.


In addition, prior to April 1, 2023, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the 2028 Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus the 2028 Make-Whole Premium (a “2028 Make-Whole Redemption”).  The Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent of the 2028 Make-Whole Premium by delivering to the Paying Agent, on or before the applicable 2028 Make-Whole Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation.
On or after April 1, 2023, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 2028 Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of 2028 Notes redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:
	
		
	Year
	Percentage

	2023
	102.063%

	2024
	101.375%

	2025
	100.688%

	2026 and thereafter   
	100.000%






Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of accrued but unpaid interest in connection with the redemption of the 2028 Notes is subject to the rights of a Holder of the 2028 Notes on a record date for the payment of interest whose Notes are to be redeemed on or after such record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date to receive interest on such interest payment date.
6.    Redemption of Notes for Changes in Withholding Taxes.  The Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.  This redemption applies only if as a result of any amendment to or change 


A-4-5






in the laws or treaties (including any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in any official position of a taxing authority in any Taxing Jurisdiction concerning the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rulings or regulations (including by virtue of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change in each case is publicly announced and effective after the Issue Date (or in the case Additional Amounts caused by a tax imposed by a jurisdiction that became a Taxing Jurisdiction after the Issue Date, after the date on which such jurisdiction became a Taxing Jurisdiction), the Issuer has become or will become obligated to pay material Additional Amounts (as set forth in Section 4.12 of the Indenture) on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to such series of 2028 Notes and the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that such obligation cannot be avoided (including, without limitation, by changing the jurisdiction from which or through which payment is made) by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuer.  Notice of such redemption may not be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of such series of 2028 Notes then due nor later than 180 days after such amendment or change referred to in the preceding sentence.  At the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect.  Immediately prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption described above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to elect to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to elect to redeem have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized expertise in the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer, as the case may be, has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such amendment or change.
7.    Notice of Redemption.  Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail or sent electronically at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of 2028 Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  For 2028 Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.  If the Issuer effects an optional redemption of the 2028 Notes, it will, if and for so long as any 2028 Notes are listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and the rules of Euronext Dublin so require, inform Euronext Dublin of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption.  If any 2028 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in the notice relating to such redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of any related transaction.
8.    Special Mandatory Redemption.  The 2028 Notes will be redeemed in whole at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the issue price of the 2028 Notes (as set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, from April 9, 2018 (or, if after 


A-4-6






the October 1, 2018 interest payment date, from October 1, 2018) to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), in the event that on or prior to October 6, 2018, (i) the Stahlgruber Acquisition is not consummated or (ii) the Stahlgruber Agreement is terminated.  Each of the events specified in clauses (i) and (ii) in the preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event.”
Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, Parent shall promptly (but in no event later than five business days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing (such date of notification, the “Redemption Notice Date”) that 2028 Notes are to be redeemed on the fifth business day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in each case in accordance with Section 3.07 of the Indenture.  Parent, on the Redemption Notice Date, shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice to each Holder in accordance with Section 3.07 of the Indenture that all of the outstanding 2028 Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the 2028 Notes.  At or prior to 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (but not prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date), the Issuer shall deposit funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the 2028 Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.  If such deposit is made as provided above, the 2028 Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date and Holders of the 2028 Notes, only right will be to receive payment of the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Price upon surrender of their 2028 Notes.
9.    Offers To Purchase.  The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Disposition and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase outstanding 2028 Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
10.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The 2028 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 each and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder may transfer or exchange 2028 Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2028 Notes or portion of a 2028 Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any 2028 Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.
11.    Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of this 2028 Note may be treated as the owner of this 2028 Note for all purposes.
12.    Unclaimed Money.  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request.  After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.


A-4-7






13.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc.  The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding 2028 Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the 2028 Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Issuer of its obligations to the Holders and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.  Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the 2028 Notes may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular 2028 Notes to be affected.
14.    Restrictive Covenants.  The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions and on the ability of Parent and the Issuer to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries and requires Parent to provide reports to Holders of the 2028 Notes.  Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.  Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
15.    Successor Corporation.  When a successor Person assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 2028 Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor Person will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations.
16.    Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the 2028 Notes to be due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) of the Indenture occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the 2028 Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2028 Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:  
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;


A-4-8






(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)    the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and 
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7) of the Indenture, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the 2028 Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 2028 Notes.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2028 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
17.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuer.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
18.    No Recourse Against Others.  No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member of the Board of Directors or holder of Capital Stock of the Issuer or of any Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of Parent or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of 2028 Notes by accepting a 2028 Note waives and releases all such liability. 
19.    Discharge.  The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the 2028 Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of cash in Euros, European Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the 2028 Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
20.    Guarantees.  From and after the Issue Date, the 2028 Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders.  Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.
