    RETENTION BONUS AGREEMENT

    

    

    

    

    This Retention Bonus Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of April 15, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), between Enterprise
      Products Company (“Company”) and Christian M. Nelly (“Employee”).

    

    

    WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to enter into this Agreement to provide a contingent retention payment to encourage Employee (i) to
      remain employed with the Company through May 31, 2023 (the “Completion Date”), (ii) to continue to perform Employee’s duties in a highly effective manner, and (iii) to proactively support the business strategy of the Company and its Company
      Affiliates (as defined below);

    

    

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

    

    

    1. Retention Payment

    

    

    A.    Provided that Employee shall have remained continuously employed as an active fulltime employee of Company from the Effective Date
      through the Completion Date (“Retention Period”), and provided that Employee continues to perform Employee’s duties during the Retention Period in a highly effective manner, as determined by the key executives (“Management”) of the Company
      (“Performance Requirement”), the Company shall pay Employee a cash retention bonus of $500,000, less all applicable withholding taxes and other required deductions on such payment, in a lump sum within seven business days following the Completion
      Date (“Retention Payment”).

    

    

    B.   If Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination (as defined below) prior to the end of the Retention Period and Employee has met the
      Performance Requirement through Employee’s termination date, the Company shall pay Employee (or in the event of Employee’s death, Employee’s estate)  a cash payment equal to a “pro-rata amount” of the Retention Payment,  less all applicable
      withholding taxes and other required deductions on such payment, in a lump sum within seven business days following Employee’s Qualifying Termination date (the “Pro-rated Amount”). The Pro-rated Amount shall be determined based on the number of days
      Employee is employed during the Retention Period over the total number of days in the Retention Period.  A “Qualifying Termination” means Employee’s employment with the Company and its Company Affiliates is terminated prior to the Completion Date (i)
      due to Employee’s death or Disability (as defined below), or (ii) by the Company other than for Cause (as defined below). Employee’s Qualifying Termination must constitute a “separation from service”, as such term is defined by the Treasury
      Regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).

    

    

    C.   If Employee’s employment with the Company and the Company Affiliates terminates prior to the Completion Date for any reason other than a
      Qualifying Termination, then, effective upon Employee’s termination of employment, Employee shall cease to have any rights under this Agreement and no payment shall be due or payable to Employee pursuant to this Agreement.

    

    

    D.   The determinations of whether there has been a Qualifying Termination of Employee’s employment and whether Employee has satisfied the
      Performance Requirement shall be determined by Management, in its good faith discretion, and such determination shall be binding for all purposes.

    

    

    

    

    2. Definitions

    

    

    A.   Termination for Cause under this Agreement shall mean a determination made in good faith by Management that Cause exists to terminate
      Employee. As used herein, “Cause” shall mean (i) an act of willful 

     

    

     

    

    
      1

      
        

    

    misconduct or gross negligence by Employee in the performance or non-performance of Employee’s duties, (ii) Employee’s appropriation (or attempted appropriation)
      of a business opportunity of the Company or any Company Affiliate, including attempting to secure or securing any personal gain in connection with any transaction entered into on behalf of the Company or any Company Affiliate, (iii) Employee’s
      misappropriation (or attempted misappropriation) of any funds or property of the Company or any Company Affiliate, (iv) Employee’s willful failure to perform any substantial duties of Employee’s position (other than any such failure resulting from
      Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or disability), (v) Employee’s failure to perform Employee’s duties at a satisfactory level, as determined in good faith by Management, or (vi) Employee’s conviction of, indictment for (or its
      procedural equivalent), or entering a guilty plea or a plea of no contest, with respect to any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or any felony.

    

    

    B.   “Company Affiliate” under this Agreement shall mean and include (i) EPCO Holdings, Inc., (ii) Enterprise Products OLPGP, Inc., (iii)

      directly or indirectly, individually, collectively or in any combination, by the Company or any of the foregoing entities or (B) in which any of the Company or any of the foregoing entities has a direct or indirect ownership interest, (viii) any
      other entity (a) which is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Estate of Dan L. Duncan, Deceased, his spouse, his descendants or any trusts for any of their respective benefit, individually, collectively or in any combination, or (b) in which
      any of them has a direct or indirect ownership interest and (ix) any predecessors, subsidiaries, related entities, officers, directors, shareholders, parent companies, agents, attorneys, employees, successors, or assigns of any of the foregoing.

    

    

    C.   “Disability” under this Agreement shall mean Employee is unable to perform the duties of Employee’s position of employment or any
      substantially similar position of employment due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that is expected to result in death or last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months.

    

    

    3. Term of Agreement

    

    

    This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the date of payment of the Pro-rated Amount to Employee (or Employee’s estate)
      following a Qualifying Termination; (ii) the date of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination; (iii) the date of payment of the Retention Payment following the Completion Date; or (iv) a
      violation of Section 4.A. or 4.F. by Employee.

    

    

    4. Miscellaneous

    

    

    A.   Employee shall not have any power to
      anticipate, pledge, assign, encumber or dispose of any right, title, or interest of Employee in any payment that may become payable to Employee under this Agreement, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any violation of this
      Paragraph A. shall automatically terminate this Agreement without any payment due Employee.

    

    

    B.   This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under
      Employee. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on Employee any right to continued employment with the Company or affect in any way the right of the Company to terminate Employee’s employment at any time.

    

    

    C.   Any payment that may be made to Employee under this Agreement is not intended to be, and shall not be construed as being, an addition to
      Employee’s base salary (or included in any calculation of his base salary for increase purposes) or included in determining the amount of any benefits due Employee under any employee benefit plan of the Company, unless inclusion or consideration of
      such payment is expressly provided for in such employee benefit plan. Any payment made hereunder shall be in addition to any 

     

    

     

    

    
      2

      
        

    

    discretionary and/or incentive compensation that the Company or any Company Affiliate may, in its sole discretion, grant Employee from time to time.

    

    

    D.   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, notwithstanding any conflict of law
      principles, and without regard to the place of execution or performance of Employee’s employment duties, or the residence of the parties.  The parties hereby agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute relating to this Agreement shall be in Harris
      County, Texas and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in such venue.

    

    

    E.   If any payment to be made to Employee under this Agreement on or following Employee’s separation from service  would fail to satisfy the
      requirements of the short-term deferral exception under Section 409A or otherwise constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and Employee is at such time a “specified employee”, within the meaning of Section 409A (as
      determined by the Company in accordance with any method permitted under Section 409A), then, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, such payment shall instead be paid in a lump sum (without interest) on the first business
      day of the seventh calendar month after  Employee’s separation from service. This Agreement is intended, and its terms shall be interpreted as necessary, to comply with Section 409A.

    

    

    F.   This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the specific subject matter hereof and contains all of the
      covenants, promises, representations, warranties and agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter, and supersedes, replaces and terminates any prior or contemporaneous agreement, understanding or promise (oral or written)
      between Employee and the Company or any Company Affiliate with respect to this subject matter. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representation, inducement, which is not embodied herein, and that no agreement, statement or promise
      relating to the subject matter that is not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding.  Employee understands that the terms of this Agreement are confidential and Employee shall not disclose either the existence of this Agreement or the
      terms hereof. Should Employee violate the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, Employee shall not be eligible or entitled to receive any payment that otherwise may become due under this Agreement.

    

    

    G.   This Agreement is executed by the parties effective for all purposes as of the Effective Date. No change in this Agreement shall be
      effective unless made in writing and executed by both parties.

steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public com-pany requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions), and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests relating to such Specified Transaction (and in respect of any subsequent pro forma calculations in which such Specified Transaction or cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and ex-penses and synergies are given pro forma effect) and during any applicable subsequent Test Period for any subsequent calculation of such financial ratios and tests; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, (B) such actions are taken or substantial steps with respect to such actions are or are expected to be taken no later than 24 months after the date of such Specified Transaction, and (C) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period. (4) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire applicable Test Period (taking into account any Hedging Obliga--9- 

 

    

    

    

		tions applicable to such Indebtedness).

SECTION 1.5 Limited Condition Transactions. (a) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of any provision of this Indenture which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condi-tion shall, at the option of the Issuer, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is en-tered into. (b) Furthermore, in connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of: (1) determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which will require the cal-culation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio; or (2) testing availability under baskets to be set forth in this Indenture (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets); in each case, at the option of the Issuer (the Issuer’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted here-under shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in com-pliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compli-ance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctu-ations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations. If the Issuer has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or re-payment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) in con-nection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving Pro Forma Effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availa-bility has been complied with under this Indenture, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis (i) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated and (ii) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have not been consummated.

The Issuer may issue Additional Notes from time to time ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes -48- 

 

    

    

    

		without notice to, or consent of, the Holders, and such Additional Notes shall have the same terms as to status, re-demption or otherwise as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and the amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date thereto; provided that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate ISIN number or Common Code number, as applicable. Furthermore, Notes may be authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer, exchange or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.6, 2.11, 2.13, 5.6 or 9.5, in connection with an Asset Disposition Offer pursuant to Section 3.5 or in connection with a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Sec-tion 3.9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer may not issue any Additional Notes, unless such issuance is in compliance with this Indenture, including Section 3.2. With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in (1) a Board Resolution and (2) (i) an Of-ficer’s Certificate and (ii) one or more indentures supplemental hereto, the following information: (A) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and deliv-ered pursuant to this Indenture; (B) the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest shall accrue; and (C) whether such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Notes. In authenticating and delivering Additional Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate required by Section 13.4, an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization, execution, delivery, validity and enforceability of such Additional Notes. The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture. Holders of the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes will vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one class, and none of the Holders of the Initial Notes or the Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent. If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Issuer, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Sec-retary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate and an inden-ture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes. (b) The Initial Notes are being offered and sold by the Issuer pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated July 25, 2017, among the Issuer, the Purchasers and, following the Escrow Release Date, the Guarantors (upon exe-cution of a joinder agreement to the Purchase Agreement) named therein. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes (if issued as Restricted Notes) (the “Additional Restricted Notes”) will be resold initially only to (A) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and (B) Non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S. Such Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs and purchasers in reliance on Regulation S, in each case, in accordance with the procedures described herein. Additional Notes offered after the date hereof may be offered and sold by the Issuer from time to time pursuant to one or more purchase agreements in accordance with applicable law. Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold to QIBs in the United States in reliance on Rule 144A (the “Rule 144A Notes”) shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby
incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) and (e) (the “Rule 144A Global Note”), deposited with the Common Deposi-tary and registered in the name of the Common Depositary, or its nominee, duly executed by the Issuer and authenti-cated by the Trustee or Authentication Agent, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal -49- 

 

    

    

    

		amount of the Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. Initial Notes and any Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold outside the United States (the “Regula-tion S Notes”) in reliance on Regulation S shall initially be issued in the form of a temporary global Note (the “Temporary Regulation S Global Note”). Beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in a corresponding permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) and (e) (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Note” and, together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, each, a “Regulation S Global Note”) within a reasonable period after the expiration of the Restricted Period (as defined below) upon delivery of the certification contemplat-ed by Exhibit C. Each Regulation S Global Note will be deposited upon issuance with the Common Depositary and registered in the name of the Common Depositary, or its nominee, in the manner described in this Article II for cred-it to the respective accounts of the purchasers (or to such other accounts as they may direct). Prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Initial Notes and the Issue Date (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note may only be transferred to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S, unless exchanged for interests in a Global Note in accord-ance with the transfer and certification requirements described herein. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or de-creased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. The Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note are sometimes collectively herein referred to as the “Global Notes.” The principal, interest and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Global Notes will be made by one or more Paying Agents by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the regis-tered Holder thereof (being the Common Depositary or its nominee for Euroclear and Clearstream). Principal, inter-est and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on any Definitive Notes will be payable at the specified office or agency of one or more Paying Agents maintained for such purposes in the City of London. In addition, interest on the Definitive Notes may be paid, at the option of the Issuer, by check sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as shown on the register of Holders of Notes for the Definitive Notes. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A and in Section 2.1(d) and (e). The Issuer shall approve any notation, en-dorsement or legend on the Notes. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms. How-ever, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. (c) Denominations. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multi-ples of €1,000 in excess thereof. (d) Restrictive Legends. Unless and until (i) an Initial Note or an Additional Note issued as a Re-stricted Note is sold under an effective registration statement or (ii) each of the Issuer and the Registrar receives
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to it stating that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on trans-fer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act: (1) the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note shall bear the following legend on the face thereof: THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSU--50-

EACH PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMP-TION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PRO-VIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER OR ANOTHER EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (1)(a) TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTI-TUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (b) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (c) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A NON-U.S. PERSON IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (d) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EX-EMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE ISSUER SO RE-QUESTS), SUBJECT TO THE RECEIPT BY THE REGISTRAR OF A CERTIFICA-TION OF THE TRANSFEROR AND AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT, (2) TO THE ISSUER OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL AND EACH SUBSE-QUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER FROM IT OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTION SET FORTH IN (A) ABOVE. (2)the Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall bear the following additional legend on the face thereof: THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANS-ACTION ORIGINALLY EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SE-CURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE AC-COUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TERMS USED ABOVE HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN REGULA-TION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. (e) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note, whether or not an Initial Note, shall bear the following legend on the face thereof: UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REG-ISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AU-THORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO ITS NOMINEE OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN -51- 

 

    

    

    

		AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PER-SON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, A NOMINEE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY, HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO THE COMMON DEPOSITARY, TO NOMINEES OF THE COM-MON DEPOSITARY OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMI-NEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF. (f) [Reserved]. (g) Book-Entry Provisions. (i) This Section 2.1(g) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with the Common Depositary. (1) Each Global Note initially shall (x) be registered in the name of the Common Depositary or the nominee of the Common Depositary, (y) be delivered to the Common Depositary and (z) bear leg-ends as set forth in Section 2.1(e). Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Common Depositary, its successors or its respec-tive nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.1(g)(4) and 2.1(h). If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar will (x) record a de-crease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. (2) Members of, or participants or account holders in, Euroclear or Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Common Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Common Depositary or its nominee may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note 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 Euroclear or Clearstream or impair, as between Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and their respective Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. (3) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(h) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authentication Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount. (4) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.1(h), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Registrar for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authentication
Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by the nominee of the Common Depos-itary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of De-finitive Notes of authorized denominations. -52- 

 

    

    

    

		(5) The registered Holder of a 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. (6) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that trans-fers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system main-tained by (i) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflect-ed in a book entry. (h) Definitive Notes. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (A) Euroclear or Clearstream notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Note and the Issuer fails to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days of such notice or (B) if the beneficial owner of a Global Note requests such exchange in writing delivered through Euroclear or Clearstream following an Event of Default and commencement of enforcement action under this Indenture. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Authentication Agent a sufficient supply of Definitive Notes. In addition, any Note transferred to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer or evidencing a Note that has been acquired by an affiliate in a transaction or series of transactions not involving any public offering must, until one year after the last date on which either the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was an owner of the Note, be in the form of a Definitive Note and bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions in Section 2.1(d). (1) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(h) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Note set forth in Section 2.1(d). (2) If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, (x) the Registrar will cancel such Definitive Note, (y) the Registrar will record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the cancelled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authentication Agent, as the case may be, shall au-thenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note representing the principal amount not so transferred. (3) If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for another Definitive Note, (x) the Reg-istrar will cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authentication Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Hold-er of the cancelled Definitive Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the cancelled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authentication agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more
Defini-tive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the cancelled Definitive Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. (4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in no event shall a Definitive Note be delivered upon exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note prior to the end of the Restricted Period. SECTION 2.2 Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by man-ual, facsimile or PDF signature. If the Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. -53- 

 

    

    

    

		A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee or the Authentication Agent manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee or the Authentication Agent on a Note shall be conclusive evi-dence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee or the Authentication Agent, as the case may be shall authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of €450,000,000, (2) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes for original issue in an unlimited principal amount, and (3) under the circumstances set forth in Section 2.6(e), Initial Notes in the form of an Unrestricted Global Note, in each case upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer (the “Issuer Order”). Such Issuer Order shall specify whether the Notes will be in the form of Definitive Notes or Global Notes, the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, the Holder and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes. The Issuer may appoint an Authentication Agent reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by an Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Trustee. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authentication Agent may au-thenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by the Authentication Agent. An Authentication Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Transfer Agent, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. The Issuer hereby appoints Citibank, N.A., London Branch to act as the Authentication Agent. In case the Issuer or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article IV or Section 10.2, as applicable, shall be consoli-dated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer or lease as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article IV, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease may (but shall not be required), from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes exe-cuted in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate to re-flect such successor Person, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee or the Authentication Agent, as the case may be, upon the Issuer Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes as specified in such order for the pur-pose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name. SECTION 2.3 Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain (x) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), (y) an office or agency in
London, England where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and (z) an office or agency where Notes may be transferred or exchanged (the “Transfer Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Registrar shall provide a copy of such register from time to time upon request of the Issuer. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more transfer agents and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” means the Paying Agent and any additional paying agent. The term “Transfer Agent” includes any co-transfer agents. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of each such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Issuer or any Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent. -54- 

 

    

    

    

		The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent for the Notes without prior notice to the Holders of such Notes. However, if and for so long as Notes are listed on the Exchange and if and to the extent the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the Exchange of any change of Paying Agent or Registrar in respect of the Notes. The Issuer will notify the Trustee, in writing, of any change to the Paying Agent or Registrar in respect of the Notes. The Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee. The Issuer initially appoints Citibank, N.A., London Branch as Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent. SECTION 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money. Prior to 11:00 a.m. London time, on each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Amounts on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in Euro in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premi-um or interest when due. The Issuer shall require the Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer or any Guarantor in making any such payment and shall during the continuance of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith deliver to the Trustee all sums held by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes together with a full accounting thereof. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds or assets disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trus-tee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. The Paying Agent will hold all funds received pursuant hereto as banker and as a result, such money will not be held in accordance with the rules established by the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority in the Financial Conduct Authority’s Handbook of rules and guidance from time to time in relation to cli-ent money. The Paying Agent shall not be bound to make any payment pursuant to this Indenture unless and until it is has received in cleared funds the full amounts due from the Issuer or any Guarantor pursuant to this Section 2.4. The Issuer shall before 10:00 a.m. (London time), on the second Business Day prior to the day on which the Paying Agent is to receive payment, procure that the bank effecting payment for it confirms by fax or tested SWIFT MT100 message to the Paying Agent the payment instructions relating to such payment. SECTION 2.5 Holder Lists. The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practi-cable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of the Guarantors, shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Paying Agent, in writing at least five (5) Business Days before each interest payment date and to the Paying Agent or, as the case may be, the Trustee at such other times as the Trustee or the Paying Agent may request in writ-ing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee and the Paying Agent may reasonably require of the names and addresses of all Holders. SECTION 2.6 Transfer and Exchange. (a) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial
interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Registrar a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, ac-companied by any certification, opinion or other document required by this Section 2.6. The Registrar will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section 2.6 by noting the same in the register maintained by the Registrar for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such register. The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accord-ance with this Section 2.6 and Section 2.1(g) and 2.1(h), as applicable, and, in the case of a Global Note (or a bene-ficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. The Registrar shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with this paragraph. -55- 

 

    

    

    

		(b) Transfers of Rule 144A Notes. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of its original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any prede-cessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”): (1) a registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of the transferee in the form as set forth on the reverse of the Note that it is purchasing for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuer as the undersigned has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; pro-vided that no such written representation or other written certification shall be required in connection with the transfer of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee in the form of a beneficial interest in that Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream; (2) [reserved]; and (3) a registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Issuer and the Registrar or its agent of a certificate substan-tially in the form set forth in Exhibit D from the proposed transferee and the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to the Issuer. (c) Transfers of Regulation S Notes. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any pro-posed transfer of a Regulation S Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period: (1) a transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of the transferee, in the form of assignment on the reverse of the Note, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has re-ceived such information regarding the Issuer as the undersigned has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; (2) [reserved]; and (3) a transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Registrar or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D hereof from the proposed transferee and receipt by the Registrar or its agent of an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to the Issuer. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S Note may be transferred in ac-cordance with applicable law without requiring the certification set forth in Exhibit D or any additional certification. (d) Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a Re-stricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the trans-fer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes
that bear a Restricted Notes Legend unless (1) an Initial Note is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, (2) Initial Notes are being exchanged for Notes that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend in accord-ance with Section 2.6(e) or (3) there is delivered to each of the Issuer and the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel satis-factory to it stating that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain -56- 

 

    

    

    

		compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Any Additional Notes sold in a registered offering shall not be required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend. (e) Automatic Exchange from Global Note Bearing Restricted Notes Legend to Global Note Not Bearing Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the Issuer’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in a Global Note bearing the Restricted Notes Legend (a “Restricted Global Note”) may be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in a Global Note not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend (an “Unrestricted Global Note”) without any action required by or on behalf of the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that is the 366th calendar day after (1) with respect to the Notes issued on the Issue Date, the Issue Date or (2) with respect to Additional Notes, if any, the issue date of such Additional Notes, or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon the Issuer’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Issuer shall (i) pro-vide written notice to the Common Depositary and the Trustee at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Auto-matic Exchange Date, instructing the nominee of the Common Depositary to exchange all of the outstanding benefi-cial interests in a particular Restricted Global Note to the Unrestricted Global Note, which the Issuer shall have pre-viously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the Common Depositary, (ii) provide prior written notice (the “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange Date (the “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which notice must include (w) the Automatic Exchange Date, (x) the section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Auto-matic Exchange shall occur, (y) the “ISIN” or “Common Code” number of the Restricted Global Note from which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred and (z) the “ISIN” or “Common Code” number of the Unre-stricted Global Note into which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred, and (iii) on or prior to the Au-tomatic Exchange Date, deliver to the Trustee or Authentication Agent, as the case may be, for authentication one or more Unrestricted Global Notes, duly executed by the Issuer, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggre-gate principal amount of Restricted Global Notes to be exchanged into such Unrestricted Global Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6(e), during the fifteen (15) calendar day period prior to the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Issuer. As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Issuer shall provide, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Issuer stating that the Automatic Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act and that the aggregate principal amount of the particular Restricted Global Note is to be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global Note by adjustment made on the records of the Registrar to reflect the Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.6(e), the aggregate principal amount of the Global
Notes shall be increased or decreased by adjust-ments made on the records of the Registrar to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note resulting from the applicable exchange. The Restricted Global Note from which beneficial inter-ests are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be cancelled following the Automatic Exchange. (f) Retention of Written Communications. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this Section 2.6, in accordance with applicable law and the Registrar’s customary procedures. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable prior written notice to the Registrar. (g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. To permit registrations of trans-fers and exchanges, the Issuer shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II, execute and the Trus-tee or the Authentication Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Is-suer’s and Registrar’s written request. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require the Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax assessments or similar governmental charge pay-able in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges paya-ble upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.11, 2.13, 5.6 or 9.5). -57- 

 

    

    

    

		The Issuer (and the Registrar) shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (A) for a period beginning (1) 30 calendar days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) 15 calendar days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date, (B) called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Disposition Offer, except the untendered portion of any Note being repurchased in part. Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, the transfer or exchange of such Note, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Regis-trar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(h) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Definitive Note set forth in Section 2.1(d). All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. (h) No Obligation of the Trustee. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar in any of their respective capacities hereunder, shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, any Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Com-mon Depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than Euroclear and Clearstream) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communi-cations to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Common Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through Eu-roclear and Clearstream subject to the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by Euroclear and Clearstream with re-spect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar shall have any obligation or du-ty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Euroclear and Clearstream participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to re-quire delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial com-pliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents
shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by Euroclear and Clearstream. SECTION 2.7 [Reserved]. SECTION 2.8 [Reserved]. SECTION 2.9 [Reserved]. SECTION 2.10 [Reserved]. SECTION 2.11 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer -58- 

 

    

    

    

		shall issue and the Trustee or Authentication Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate a replacement Note if such Holder (a) satisfies the Issuer and the Trustee that such Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken with-in a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee or the Issuer; pro-vided, however, if after the delivery of such replacement Note, a protected purchaser of the Note for which such re-placement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such replaced Note, the Trustee and/or the Issuer shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from the Person to whom it was issued and delivered or any Per-son taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connec-tion therewith. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the (i) Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and the Regis-trar, from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee or Authentication Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and paya-ble, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.11, the Issuer may require that such Holder pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and of the Trustee) in connection therewith. Subject to the proviso in the initial paragraph of this Section 2.11, every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.11 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, any Guarantor (if applicable) and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the muti-lated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section 2.11 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. SECTION 2.12 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee or Authentication Agent, as the case may be, except for those cancelled by the Registrar, those delivered to the Registrar for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.11 and those described in this Section 2.12 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding in the event the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining which are outstanding for consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of Section 13.6 shall apply and (ii) in determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in making a determination whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes are present at a meeting of Holders of Notes for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be held by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall not be considered outstanding. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.11 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replace-ment pursuant to Section 2.11. If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, mon-ey sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from -59- 

 

    

    

    

		paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. SECTION 2.13 Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee or Authen-tication Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee or Authentication Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Issuer for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or Authentication Agent, as the case may be, shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so ex-changed, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Notes. SECTION 2.14 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Registrar for cancella-tion. The Trustee, the Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Registrar any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Registrar and no one else shall cancel all Notes surren-dered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such Notes in accordance with its internal policies and customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee). If the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a re-demption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Registrar for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.14. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee or the Registrar for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Common Depositary to the Registrar for cancellation or retained and cancelled by the Registrar. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Registrar with respect to such Global Note, to reflect such reduction. SECTION 2.15 Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such payment at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3. Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
the regular record date, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: (a) the Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the fol-lowing manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of De-faulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee (or other such entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably ac-ceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such purpose) an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to -60- 

 

    

    

    

		the Trustee (or other such entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such purpose) for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such De-faulted Interest as in this Section 2.15(a). Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which date shall be not more than 20 calendar days and not less than 15 calendar days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, the Pay-ing Agent shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 13.2, not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such De-faulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Spe-cial Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the provisions in Section 2.15(b); or (b) the Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.15(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. (c) The rates of interest provided for in this Indenture, including, without limitation, this Sec-tion 2.15, are minimum interest rates. (d) When entering into this Indenture, the parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in this Section 2.15 or in other Sections of this Indenture is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding that the parties do not anticipate (acting in good faith) that any payment of interest will be subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, they agree that, if a tax deduction or with-holding for Swiss Withholding Tax is required by law to be made by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other applicable withholding agent in respect of any interest payable by it under this Indenture and should in re-spect of the Issuer or any such Guarantor under Section 3.21 or similar provisions be unenforceable for any reason, the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be: (i) the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment (as provided for in this Indenture in the absence of this paragraph (d)) divided by (ii) 1 minus the rate at which the relevant tax deduction or withholding for Swiss Withholding Tax is required to be made (where the rate at which the relevant deduction or with-holding of Swiss Withholding Tax is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a frac-tion of 1 rather than as a percentage) and (A) the Issuer or any applicable Guarantor shall be obliged to pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with this paragraph, (B) the Issuer, the applicable Guarantor or the other applicable withholding agent shall make the deduc-tion or withholding of Swiss Withholding Tax on the recalculated interest and (C) all references to a rate of interest in this Indenture shall be construed accordingly. (e) To the extent that interest payable by the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture be-comes subject
to Swiss Withholding Tax, the Trustee, the Issuer and such Guarantor shall promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the Issuer or such Guarantor to obtain authorization to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax or to allow the Trustee and any holder to prepare claims for the refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon reg-istration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. -61- 

 

    

    

    

		SECTION 2.16 ISIN and Common Code Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “ISIN” and “Common Code” numbers and, if so, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall use “ISIN” and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omis-sion of such ISIN and Common Code numbers. The Issuer shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any change in the ISIN and Common Code numbers. SECTION 2.17 Agency. (a) Actions of Agents. The rights, powers, duties and obligations and actions of each Agent under this Indenture are several and not joint or joint and several. (b) Agents of Trustee. 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. Prior to receiving such written notice from the Trus-tee, the Agents shall be the agents of the Issuer and need have no concern for the interests of the Holders. (c) Publication of Notices. Any obligation the Agents may have to publish a notice to Holders of Global Notes on behalf of the Issuer will be met upon delivery of the notice to Euroclear and/or Clearstream. (d) No Fiduciary Duty. No Agent shall be under any fiduciary duty or other obligation towards, or have any relationship of agency or trust, for or with any person other than the Issuer. (e) Tax Withholding. (1) The Issuer shall notify each Agent in the event that any payment to be made by an Agent under the Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated; provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations under this Section 2.17(e) shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Issuer, the Notes, or both. (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Agent shall be entitled to make a de-duction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Notes for or on account of any Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event the Agent shall make such payment after such deduc-tion or withholding has been made and shall account to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time al-lowed for the amount so deducted or withheld or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Issuer the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Issuer shall so account to the relevant Governmental Authority for such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or with-holding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 2.17(e)(2). (3) In the event that the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax will be required by Applicable Law in connection with any payment due to any of the Agents on any Notes, then, subject to Section 3.21, the Issuer will be entitled to redirect or reorganize any such payment in any way that it sees fit in order that the payment may be made without such deduction or withholding provided that, any such redirected or reorganized payment is made through a recognized institution of international standing and otherwise made in accordance with this Indenture. The Issuer will promptly
notify the Agents and the Trustee of any such redirection or reorganization. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 2.17(e)(3). SECTION 2.18 Illegality Disclaimer. Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, each Agent may refrain without liability from doing anything that would or might in its opinion be contrary to any law of any state or jurisdiction (including but not limited to the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming a part of it and -62- 

 

    

    

    

		England & Wales) or any directive or regulation of any agency of any such state or jurisdiction and may without liability do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

Unless the Issuer elects otherwise, the Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed Incurred first under Section 3.2(a) or clause (1) or (5) of Section 3.2(b) to the extent permitted, with the balance Incurred under Section 3.2(b); (11) in the event that the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into or increases commit-ments under a revolving credit facility, enters into any commitment to Incur or issue Indebtedness, Disqual-ified Stock or Preferred Stock or commits to Incur any Lien pursuant to clause (30) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Incurrence or issuance thereof for all purposes under this Indenture, including, with-out limitation, for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, or usage of clauses (1) through (19) of Section 3.2(b) (if any) for borrowings and reborrowings thereunder (and including issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will, at the Issuer’s option as notified to the Trustee in writing, either (i) be determined on the date of such revolving credit facility or such entry into or increase in commitments (assuming that the full amount thereof has been borrowed as of such date) or other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, and, if such Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, test or other provision of this Indenture is satisfied with respect thereto at such time, any borrowing or rebor-rowing thereunder (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will be permitted under this Section 3.2 irrespective of the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, or other provision of this Indenture at the time of any borrowing or reborrowing (or issuance or creation of letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances thereunder) (the committed amount permitted to be borrowed or reborrowed (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances) on a date pursuant to the operation of this clause (i) shall be the “Reserved Indebtedness Amount” as of such date for purposes of the Consolidat-ed Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable) or (ii) be determined on the date such amount is borrowed pursuant to any such facili-ty or increased commitment, and in each case, the Issuer may revoke such determination at any time and from time to time as notified to the Trustee in writing; and (12) notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary, in the case of any Indebted-ness Incurred to refinance Indebtedness initially Incurred in reliance on a clause of Section 3.2(b) measured by reference to a percentage of Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA at the time of Incurrence, if such re-financing would cause the percentage of Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the percentage of Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA on the date of such refi-nancing, such percentage of Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance, costs and fees in connection
with such refinancing. (d) Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortiza-tion of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of divi-dends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the reclassification of commit-ments or obligations not treated as Indebtedness due to a change in GAAP, will in each case not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.2. (e) If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness, Dis-qualified Stock or Preferred Stock of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 3.2, the Issuer shall be in default of this Section 3.2). (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.2, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness In--68- 

 

    

    

    

		curred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was originally incurred, in the case of term indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit indebtedness. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebted-ness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. (g) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, Incur any Indebtedness (in-cluding Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Note Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. (h) For the avoidance of doubt, this Indenture does not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordi-nated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral. SECTION 3.3 Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to: (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of the Issuer’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Capital Stock (including any payment in connection with any merger or consol-idation involving the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) except: (i) dividends or distributions payable in Capital Stock of the Issuer (other than Dis-qualified Stock) or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock of the Issuer or in Subordinated Shareholder Funding; and (ii) dividends or distributions payable to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of any such Restricted Subsidiary making such dividend or distribution, to holders of its Capital Stock other than the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary on no more than a pro rata basis in accordance with their Capital Stock holdings); (2) purchase, repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Issuer or any Parent Entity held by Persons other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; (3) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Indebted-ness with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $20.0 million (it being understood that payments of regularly scheduled principal, interest and mandatory prepayments, redemptions or offers to purchase shall be permitted), other than (a) any such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case, due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisi-tion or retirement and (b) any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(3)); (4) make any payment (whether of principal, interest or other amounts) on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Subordinated Shareholder Fund-ing (other than any payment of interest thereon in the form of additional Subordinated Shareholder Fund-ing); or (5) make any Restricted Investment; -69-

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor in cash or otherwise on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor; (2) Guarantor; or make any loans or advances to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary (3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidi-ary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that (x) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to divi-dends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock and (y) the subordination of (including the applica-tion of any standstill requirements to) loans or advances made to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction. (b) Section 3.4(a) shall not prohibit: (1) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to (x) any Credit Facility (including the Credit Agreement), or (y) any other agreement or instrument, in each case, in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date (or contractual encumbrances or restrictions with respect to the Transactions in effect on the Escrow Release Date); (2) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guar-antees; (3) encumbrances or restrictions arising or existing by reason of applicable law, rule, regula-tion or order, or required by any regulatory authority; (4) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement or instrument of a Person or re-lating to any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of a Person, entered into on or before the date on which such Person was acquired by or merged, consolidated or otherwise combined with or into the Issuer or any Re-stricted Subsidiary, or was designated as a Restricted Subsidiary or on which such agreement or instrument is assumed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an acquisition of assets (other than Capital Stock or Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds uti-lized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Issuer or was merged, consolidated or otherwise combined with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or entered into in contemplation of or in connection with such transaction) and outstanding on such date; provided that, for the purposes of this clause, if anoth-er Person is the successor entity, any Subsidiary thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary when such Person becomes the successor entity; (5) any encumbrance or restriction: (i) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease, license or similar contract or agreement, or the assign-ment or transfer of any lease, license or other contract or agreement; -76- 

 

    

    

    

		(ii) contained in mortgages, pledges, charges or other security agreements permitted under this Indenture or securing Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary permitted under this Indenture to the extent such encumbrances or restrictions restrict the transfer or encum-brance of the property or assets subject to such mortgages, pledges, charges or other security agreements; or (iii) pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property inter-ests set forth in any reciprocal easement agreements of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; (6) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to Purchase Money Obligations and Capitalized Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture, in each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions on the property so acquired, any replacements of such property or assets and additions and accessions thereto, after-acquired property subject to such arrangement, the proceeds and the products thereof and customary security deposits in respect thereof and in the case of multiple financings of equipment provided by any lender, other equipment financed by such lender; (7) any encumbrance or restriction imposed on the Capital Stock or assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement entered into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition to a Person of such Capital Stock or assets pending the closing of such sale or disposition; (8) customary provisions in leases, subleases, licenses, sublicenses, shareholder agreements, joint venture agreements, organizational documents and other similar agreements and instruments; (9) encumbrances or restrictions arising or existing by reason of applicable law or any appli-cable rule, regulation or order, or required by any regulatory authority; (10) any encumbrance or restriction on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by cus-tomers under agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice; (11) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to Hedging Obligations; (12) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Non-Guarantors permitted to be Incurred or issued subsequent to the Escrow Release Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2 that impose restrictions solely on the Non-Guarantors party thereto or their Subsidiaries; (13) restrictions created in connection with any Qualified Securitization Financing or Receiv-ables Facility that, in the good faith determination of the Issuer, are necessary or advisable to effect such Securitization Facility or Receivables Facility, as the case may be; (14) any encumbrance or restriction arising pursuant to an agreement or instrument (which, if it relates to any Indebtedness, shall only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted to be Incurred pur-suant to Section 3.2) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole (i) are not materially less favorable to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement, together with the security documents associated therewith as in effect on the Escrow Release Date (as determined by the Issuer) or (ii) either (A) the Issuer determines at the time of entry into such agreement or instrument that such encumbrances or restrictions do not materially impair the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes as and when due (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) or (B) such encumbrance or restriction applies only during the continuance of a default relating to such agreement or instrument; (15) any encumbrance or restriction existing by reason of any lien permitted under Section 3.6; or (16) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement or instrument effecting a refi-nancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to, or that otherwise refinances, an agreement or instrument re--77- 

 

    

    

    

		ferred to in clauses (1) to (15) of this Section 3.4(b) or this clause (16) (an “Initial Agreement”) or con-tained in any amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replace-ment, refinancing or other modification to an agreement referred to in clauses (1) to (15) of this Section 3.4(b) or this clause (16); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement or instrument are not materially less favorable to the Holders taken as a whole than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Ini-tial Agreements to which such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, re-funding, replacement, refinancing or other modification relates (as determined in good faith by the Issuer). SECTION 3.5 Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any As-set Disposition unless: (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (in-cluding by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Asset Disposi-tion is a Permitted Asset Swap); (2) in any such Asset Disposition or series of related Asset Dispositions (except to the extent the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap) if the property or assets sold or otherwise disposed of have a fair market value in excess of $40.0 million, at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Dis-position, together with all other Asset Dispositions since the Escrow Release Date (on a cumulative basis), (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contin-gent or otherwise), received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and (3) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, at its respective option, will apply an amount equal to such Net Available Cash from any Asset Disposition: (i) (A) to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase any Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor or Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien (in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary) or Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (or any Refinancing In-debtedness in respect thereof) within 540 days from the later of (1) the date of such Asset Disposi-tion and (2) the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment, redemption or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (i), the Issuer or Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related com-mitment (if any) to be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, re-deemed or purchased; or (B) to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Pari Passu Indebtedness; pro-vided, further, that, to the extent the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary prepays, repays, redeems or purchases Pari Passu Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (B), the Issuer shall equally and rata-bly reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 5.7, through open-market pur-chases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Disposition Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be purchased to, but excluding, the date
of purchase; and/or (ii) to invest in or commit to invest in Additional Assets within 540 days from the later of (A) the date of such Asset Disposition and (B) the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that a binding agreement shall be treated as a permitted application of Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event that any Acceptable Commitment is later can--78- 

 

    

    

    

		celled or terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection there-with, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds unless the Issuer or such Re-stricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided, further, that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that, pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (i) or clause (ii) in Section 3.5(a)(3), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise use such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. (b) If an amount equal to the Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions is not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested as provided, and within the time period (including as extended) set forth in Sec-tion 3.5(a) (it being understood that any portion of such amount used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as de-scribed in Section 3.5(a)(3)(i)(B), will be deemed to have been applied whether or not such offer is accepted), then such amount not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds” under this Indenture. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds under this Indenture exceeds $60.0 million in any fiscal year, the Issuer will within 10 Business Days make an offer (an “Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders of the Notes and, to the extent the Issuer elects or is required to by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebted-ness, to holders or lenders of any other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase (or redeem or repay, as applicable) the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which such Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, or 100% of the ac-creted value thereof, if less (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be pro-vided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Addi-tional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable and in minimum denominations of €100,000 and in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will deliver notice of such Asset Dis-position Offer electronically or by first-class mail as provided under Section 3.5(g) with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register (or while Notes are in the form of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures), describing the transaction or transactions that con-stitute the Asset Disposition and offering to repurchase the Notes for the specified purchase price on the date speci-fied in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, and described in such notice. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with re-spect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to all Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the relevant 540 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to any unapplied Excess Proceeds. (c) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness
so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes surrendered in any Asset Disposition Offer by Holders and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Ex-cess Proceeds shall be allocated among the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided that no Notes or other Pari Passu Indebtedness in an unauthorized denomination will remain outstanding after such purchase. Up-on completion of any Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion). (d) To the extent that any portion of Net Available Cash payable in respect of the Notes is denominat-ed in a currency other than Dollars, the amount thereof payable in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net amount of funds in Dollars that is actually received by the Issuer upon converting such portion into Dollars. (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.5, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Available Cash of any Asset Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) is (x) prohibited or de--79- 

 

    

    

    

		layed by applicable local law, (y) restricted by applicable organizational documents or any agreement or (z) subject to other onerous organizational or administrative impediments from being repatriated, the portion of such Net Avail-able Cash so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 3.5, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law, organizational document, agreement or other impediment will not permit repatriation to the Issuer or a Guarantor, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Cash is permitted under the applicable local law, the applicable organizational document or agreement or the applicable other impediment, an amount equal to such amount of Net Available Cash so permitted to be repatriated will be promptly (and in any event not later than 10 Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of any Taxes, costs or expenses that would be payable or reserved against if such amounts were actually repatriated whether or not they are repatriated) in compliance with this Section 3.5 and (ii) to the extent that the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Availa-ble Cash of any Foreign Disposition could have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Availa-ble Cash (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so Hold-ings, the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates and/or equity partners would incur a material tax liability, including a tax dividend or a withholding tax), the Net Available Cash so affected may be re-tained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as an amount equal to the amount of Net Available Cash required to be applied in ac-cordance with this Section 3.5 is applied by the Issuer, nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to require any Subsidiary to repatriate cash. (f) For purposes of Section 3.5(a)(2), the following will be deemed to be cash: (i) the (x) assumption or (y) cancellation, extinguishment or termination of Indebtedness or other liabilities (as reflected on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent consolidated bal-ance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as deter-mined in good faith by the Issuer) contingent or otherwise, in each case of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsid-iary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor) and, in the case of clause (x) only, the release of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness or other liabil-ity in connection with such Asset Disposition; (ii) securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equiva-lents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition; (iii) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Issuer and each other Restricted Subsidiary are re-leased from any Guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; (iv) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor (other than Subor-dinated Indebtedness) received after the Escrow Release Date from Persons who are not the Issuer
or any Restricted Subsidiary; and (v) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsid-iary in such Asset Dispositions having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Desig-nated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 3.5 that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $60.0 million and 15.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in val-ue). (g) Upon the commencement of an Asset Disposition Offer, the Issuer shall send, or cause to be sent, electronically or by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address (or while Notes are in the form of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures). The notice shall contain all -80- 

 

    

    

    

		instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. Any Asset Disposition Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Disposition Offer, shall state: (1) that the Asset Disposition Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.5 and that, to the extent lawful, all Notes tendered and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment (unless prorated); (2) the Asset Disposition payment amount, the Asset Disposition offered price, and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Asset Sale Payment Date”); (3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof; (4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Asset Sale Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Disposition Of-fer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice at least three (3) Business Days before the Asset Sale Payment Date; (6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Asset Sale Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased; (7) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Asset Disposition payment amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of at least €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof remain outstanding after purchase); and (8) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry). If any of the Notes subject to the Asset Disposition Offer are in the form of a Global Note, the Issuer may modify such notice to the extent necessary to comply with the Applicable Procedures of the Common Depositary. (h) If the Asset Sale Payment Date is on or after a record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pur-suant to the Asset Disposition Offer. (i) On the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law: (1) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Asset Disposition pay-ment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Registrar for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer. -81- 

 

    

    

    

		(j) The Issuer will 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 or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.5. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Inden-ture by virtue thereof. SECTION 3.6 Limitation on Liens. (a) Holdings will not, and will not permit the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) (each, an “Initial Lien”) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related Guarantee, on any asset or property of Holdings, the Issu-er or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, unless: (1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or (2) in all other cases, the Notes or the Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured. (b) Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.6(a) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien. (c) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness. SECTION 3.7 Limitation on Guarantees. (a) The Issuer will not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries Guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Guarantor or Guarantee Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement), other than a Guarantor, to Guarantee the payment of any capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Guarantor or Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement, in each case, unless: (1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 60 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B providing for a Note Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a Guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, any such Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Note Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee; and (2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidi-ary under its Guarantee
until payment in full of all Obligations under this Indenture; provided that this Section 3.7 shall not be applicable (i) to any Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation -82- 

 

    

    

    

		of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) in the event that the Guarantee of the Issuer’s obligations un-der the Notes or this Indenture by such Restricted Subsidiary would not be permitted under applicable law, (iii) to any Guarantee of capital markets debt securities, where such Restricted Subsidiary, in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles, does not provide a Guarantee of any Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement or (iv) to any Guarantee of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement of any Restricted Subsidiary as of the Escrow Release Date organized in Italy. At the option of the Issuer, any Note Guarantee may contain limitations on Guaran-tor liability to the extent reasonably necessary to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors (in-cluding those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally) or other considerations under applicable law. (b) The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, in which case, such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 60-day period described in Section 3.7(a)(1). SECTION 3.8 Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any of the Issuer’s Affiliates (other than Holdings, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries or any entity that be-comes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate value in excess of $20.0 million unless: (1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a com-parable transaction at the time of such transaction or the execution of the agreement providing for such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; and (2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate value in excess of $60.0 million, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or a Parent Entity. Any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in Section 3.8(a)(2) if such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors, if any.

SECTION 3.14 [Reserved]. SECTION 3.15 Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year

Additionally, upon the occurrence of an event resulting in Suspended Covenants, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Avail-able Cash shall be reset to zero. (b) If on any date following a Suspension Date the Notes cease to have such Investment Grade Status (any such date, a “Reversion Date”), then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Status); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the applicable Reversion Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between a Suspension Date and a Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” (c) On any Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the applicable Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Escrow Release Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Sec-tion 3.2(b)(4)(B). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.3 will be made as though Section 3.3 had been in effect since the Escrow Release Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; provided, that no Subsidiaries may be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension
Period, unless such designation would have complied with Section 3.3 as if such Section would have been in effect during such period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspen-sion Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.3. Any Affiliate Transaction entered into on and after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspen-sion Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 3.8(b)(6). Any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to take any action described in clauses (1) through (3) of Section 3.4(a) that be-comes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(1)(y) on and after any Reversion Date. During the Suspension Period, any future obligation to grant further Note Guarantees shall be suspended. All such further obligation to grant Note Guarantees shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date, but no Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be required to comply with Section 3.7 after the end of a Suspension Period with respect to any Guarantee entered into by such Subsidiary during any Suspension Period. -91- 

 

    

    

    

		(d) (d) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of the ratings of the Notes and shall have no duty to notify Holders of the occurrence of a Suspen-sion Date or Reversion Date. SECTION 3.20 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that desig-nation would not cause an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 3.3 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments.” as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” The Issuer may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default. (b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Of-ficer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Sec-tion 3.3. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestrict-ed Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebt-edness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such In-debtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 3.2, the Issuer will be in default of Section 3.2. (c) The Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 3.2 calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as of the most recently ended Test Pe-riod; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. Any such designa-tion by the Issuer shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the preceding conditions. SECTION 3.21 Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) All payments made by the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes, or by any of the Guarantors under or with respect to any Note Guarantee, shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any Tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is then required by law. If any deduc-tion or withholding by any applicable withholding agent for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction (or any department or political subdivision thereof or therein) (a) in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is at any time incorporated or organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or resident for tax pur-poses or (b) from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (including the jurisdiction of any Paying Agent) will at any time be required to be made in respect of any payments made by the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes or any of the Guarantors under or with respect
to any Note Guarantee, in-cluding payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium (each such jurisdiction (or any department or political subdivision thereof or therein) referred to in (a) or (b) above, a “Tax Jurisdiction”), then the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments after such withholding, deduc-tion or imposition (including any such withholding, deduction or imposition in respect of any such Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments in the ab-sence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with re-spect to: (1) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the existence of any actual or deemed (pursuant to applicable Tax law of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction, such as, if applica--92- 

 

    

    

    

		ble, a connection of a partnership that is attributed to the partners/beneficial owners) present or former con-nection between the holder or the beneficial owner of a Note and the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (including being a resident of such jurisdiction for Tax purposes), other than the ownership or disposition of such Note, the enforcement of rights under such Note or under a Note Guarantee or the receipt of any payments in respect of such Note or a Note Guarantee; (2) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the holder (except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner would otherwise have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period); (3) any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment on or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee; (4) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes; (5) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the holder or beneficial owner of Notes to comply with any reasonable written request of the Issuer ad-dressed to the holder or beneficial owner and made at least 45 days before any such withholding or deduc-tion would be payable to satisfy any certification, identification, information or other reporting require-ments, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the holder or beneficial owner is legal-ly eligible to provide such certification or documentation; (6) any FATCA Withholding; or (7) any combination of clauses (1) through (6) of this Section 3.21(a). (b) In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall also pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) which are levied by any Tax Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Notes, this Inden-ture, any Note Guarantee or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto, or enforcement of, any of the Notes or any Note Guarantee. (c) If the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee, each of the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, will deliver to the Trustee and Paying Agent on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 45 days prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent promptly thereafter) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information rea-sonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee and Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. (d) The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, if it is the applicable withholding agent, will make all with-holdings and deductions required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld
to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor will use its reasonable efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Is-suer or the relevant Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee or to a holder upon reasonable written request, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, or if, notwithstanding such entity’s -93- 

 

    

    

    

		efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other reasonable evidence of payments by such entity. Upon rea-sonable request, copies of Tax receipts or other evidence of payments, as the case may be, will be made available by the Issuer to any holder. (e) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based up-on the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes or any Note Guarantee, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. (f) The above obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, any transfer by a holder or beneficial owner of its Notes, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any successor Person to the Issuer or any Guarantor and to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or any Guarantor is in-corporated or organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment on the Notes (or any Note Guarantee) is made by or on behalf of such Person, and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein. SECTION 3.22 Limitation on Use of Proceeds. The Issuer and each Guarantor shall ensure that no pro-ceeds from the sale of the Notes have been or will be used in a manner which would constitute a “use of proceeds in Switzerland” as interpreted by Swiss tax authorities for the purposes of Swiss Withholding Tax, except and to the extent that a written confirmation or tax ruling countersigned by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (Eidgenö-ssische Steuerverwaltung) has been obtained (in a form satisfactory to the Trustee) confirming that the intended “use of proceeds in Switzerland” does not result in interest payments in respect of the Notes or any Note Guarantee be-coming subject to a withholding or deduction for Swiss Withholding Tax. ARTICLE IV SUCCESSOR ISSUER; SUCCESSOR PERSON SECTION 4.1 Merger and Consolidation. (a) The Issuer will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or sub-stantially all its assets to, any Person, unless: (1) the Issuer is the resulting or surviving Person or the resulting, surviving or transferee Per-son (such resulting or surviving Person, including, if applicable, the Issuer, or such transferred Person, as applicable, the “Successor Company”) will be a European Company (Societas Europaea) or a Person orga-nized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State of the United States or the District of Co-lumbia, or any territory thereof, the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Union, and the Successor Company (if not the Issuer) will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and de-livered to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture and if such Suc-cessor Company is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation organized or existing under such laws; (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the applicable Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the applicable Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the applicable Successor Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, on a Pro Forma Basis, either (x) the Successor Company or the Issuer (as applicable) would be able to Incur at least an additional $1.00 of In-debtedness pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or (y) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Issuer or the Succes-sor Company (as applicable) as of the most recently
ended Test Period would not be lower than it was for such Test Period immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction; and -94- 

 

    

    

    

		(4) the Issuer (or Successor Company if other than the Issuer) shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer, and such supplemental indenture (if any), comply with this Indenture; provided that in giving an Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with Sections 4.1(a)(2) and (3) and as to any matters of fact, including as to satisfaction of the conditions of this Section 4.1. (b) The Successor Company will succeed to, and (if other than the Issuer) be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture, and in such event where the Suc-cessor Company is not the Issuer, the Issuer will automatically be released from its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, but in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor company will not be re-leased from its obligations under the Notes or this Indenture. (c) [Reserved]. (d) Notwithstanding Sections 4.1(a)(2), (3) and (4) (which do not apply to transactions referred to in this clause (d)), (i) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, the Issuer, (ii) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may effect any Permitted Reorganization, (iii) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate the Transactions and (iv) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate a consolidation or merger or conveyance, transfer or lease, the purpose of which is to effect an Investment permitted pursuant to Section 3.3, including an Investment that constitutes a Permitted Investment.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 4.1 shall not apply to the creation of a new Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or to the Transactions. (g) Subject to certain limitations described in this Indenture governing release of a Note Guarantee as described under Article X, no Subsidiary Guarantor may: (1) consolidate with or merge with or into any Person, or (2) convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to any Person, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, unless (i) the other Person is the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor concurrently with the transaction; (ii) either (x) such Subsidiary Guarantor is the resulting or surviving Person or (y)(I) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Person”) will be a European Compa-ny (Societas Europaea) or a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof, the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Union, and the Successor Person (if not a Subsidi-ary Guarantor or the Issuer) will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and de-livered to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s related Note Guarantee and (II) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, on a Pro Forma Basis, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (iii) the transaction constitutes a sale, lease or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, amalgamation or merger) of the Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale

Notwithstanding the foregoing (which do not apply to transactions referred to in this sentence), (1) any Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, the Issuer or another Guarantor or, subject to compliance with Section 4.1(g)(ii)(x) or (g)(ii)(y)(I), any Non-Guarantor, (2) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate the Transactions, (3) any Subsidiary Guarantor may liquidate, dissolve or wind up if the Issuer determines in good faith that such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is in the best interests of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and is not mate-rially disadvantageous to the Holders, (4) any Guarantor may consummate a consolidation or merger or conveyance, transfer or lease, the purpose of which is to effect an Investment permitted pursuant to Section 3.3, including an In-vestment that constitutes a Permitted Investment, and (5) subject to compliance with Section 4.1(g)(ii)(x) or (g)(ii)(y)(I), any Guarantor may change its legal domicile or reincorporate in another jurisdiction or change its legal form. (h) Any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to any other Restricted Subsidiary. ARTICLE V REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES SECTION 5.1 Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional re-demption provisions of Section 5.7 hereof, it must furnish an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the following to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, except that such Officer’s Certificate may be furnished more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if such Officer’s Certificate is furnished in connec-tion with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII or XI hereof or the applicable redemption date is delayed: (1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; (2) the redemption date; (3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and (4) the redemption price. Any optional redemption referenced in such Officer’s Certificate may be cancelled by the Issuer at any time prior to notice of redemption being sent to any Holder. SECTION 5.2 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Paying Agent will select the Notes for redemption in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, as certified to the Paying Agent by the Issuer, and in compliance with the requirements of Euroclear and Clearstream, or if the Notes are not so listed or such ex-change prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through Euroclear and Clearstream or Euroclear and Clearstream prescribe no method of selection, on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustments so that no Note in an unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such redemption; provided, however, that no Note of €100,000 in aggregate principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part and only Notes in integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof shall be redeemed. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not be liable for selections made under this Section 5.2. -96- 

 

    

    

    

		SECTION 5.3 Notice of Optional Redemption. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before an optional redemption date, the Issuer will send or cause to be sent, by electronic delivery or by first class mail, postage prepaid, a notice of optional redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euro-clear and Clearstream, or while Notes are in the form of Global Notes in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, except that optional redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to an optional redemption date if the notice is issued (i) in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII or XI hereof or (ii) subject to one or more conditions precedent and such redemption date is delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion). The notice will identify the Notes (including the ISIN or Common Code number) to be redeemed and will state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the redemption price; (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 upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in prin-cipal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (5) redemption price; that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the (6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; (7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN or Common Code number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and (9) any condition precedent to redemption. (b) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. In the case of a Global Note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Global Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. Subject to the terms of the ap-plicable redemption notice (including any conditions contained therein), Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. (c) [Reserved]. (d) At the Issuer’s request, the Paying Agent shall give the notice of optional redemption in the Issu-er’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certifi-cate containing the information required by this Section 5.3 at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which -97- 

 

    

    

    

		the Issuer instructs the Paying Agent to send the notice (or such shorter period as the Trustee and the Paying Agent may agree). (e) Such notice of optional redemption, and the related optional redemption, may, at the Issuer’s dis-cretion, be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related Equity Offering, incurrence of Indebtedness or in connection with other transactions (or series of related transactions) or an event that constitutes a Change of Control, the consummation of such Equity Offering, incur-rence of Indebtedness, Change of Control or other transactions. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfac-tion of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and if appli-cable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date as stated in such no-tice, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. The Issuer may provide in such notice of redemption that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. (f) If and for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and if and to the ex-tent the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the Exchange of any notice of optional redemption sent to the Holders of the relevant Notes and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuer will notify the Exchange of any change in the principal amount of Notes outstanding. SECTION 5.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with this Indenture, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the re-demption price stated in such notice, as such date may be delayed, unless such redemption is cancelled; provided, however, that a redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s option and discretion, be subject to the satis-faction of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 5.7(b) hereof). SECTION 5.5 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m. London time on the re-demption or purchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or pur-chase date, interest, if any, will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or pur-chase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after the relevant record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was regis-tered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer
to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 3.1 hereof. SECTION 5.6 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee or the Authentication Agent, as the case may be, will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided, that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of €100,000 or integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. -98- 

 

    

    

    

		SECTION 5.7 Optional Redemption. (a) At any time and from time to time prior to August 15, 2020, the Issuer may on one or more occa-sions redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. (b) At any time and from time to time prior to August 15, 2020, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date) at a redemption price equal to 105.625% of the principal amount of the Notes re-deemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds received by, or contributed to, the Issuer from one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (1) in each case the redemption takes place not later than 180 days after the closing of the related Equity Offer-ing, and (2) not less than 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date) remains outstanding immediately thereafter (excluding Notes held by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries). (c) Except pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (e) of this Section 5.7, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to August 15, 2020. (d) At any time and from time to time on and after August 15, 2020, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the percentage of princi-pal amount of the Notes redeemed set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on Au-gust 15 of each of the years indicated below: Year 2020.. 2021.. 2022 and thereafter..... Percentage 102.813% 101.406% 100.000% (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including a Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Issuer, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not with-drawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon, to, but not including, the date of such redemption. (f) Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable Redemption Date. (g) 5.1 through 5.6. through 5.6. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections The Paying Agent shall select the Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under Sections 5.1 (h) If the Redemption Date is after the relevant record date to receive interest due and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued
and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Issuer. SECTION 5.8 Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Section 5.9, the Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that -99- 

 

    

    

    

		under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes under Section 3.5 and Section 3.9. The Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. SECTION 5.9 Special Mandatory Redemption. (a) In the event that (i) the Escrow Agent and the Trustee have not received the Acquisition Comple-tion Certificate prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Outside Date, or (ii) the Escrow Agent and the Trus-tee receive, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Outside Date, an Officer’s Certificate certi-fying that (A) the Issuer will not pursue the consummation of the Acquisition, or (B) the Purchase Agreement has been amended, modified or waived or any consent granted, in a manner that would be materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes (as reasonably determined by the Issuer) or the Purchase Agreement has otherwise been termi-nated (any such event specified in clause (i) or (ii) being a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), then, in each such case, the Escrow Agent, without the requirement of notice to or action by the Issuer, the Escrow Agent or any other Person, shall notify the Issuer and the Trustee and, within one Business Day, liquidate all Escrowed Property and, on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, release the Escrowed Property to the Paying Agent. On the Business Day following the Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Issuer shall (x) notify the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent and the Trustee in writing of the occurrence of the Special Mandatory Redemption Event and (y) deliver or procure the delivery of a notice of redemption in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euro-clear and Clearstream to each Holder of Notes that the entire principal amount outstanding of the Notes shall be re-deemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the date falling two Business Days after the delivery of such notice (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”). In the event that the Special Mandatory Redemption Price pay-able upon a Special Mandatory Redemption exceeds the amount of the Escrowed Property, the Bain Capital Fund will be required to fund the accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, owing to the holders of the Notes, pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter. (b) Upon the deposit of funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price in respect of the Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date with the Paying Agent on or before such date, the Notes will cease to bear interest and all rights under the Notes shall terminate. The Paying Agent will release to the Issuer, any Escrowed Property remaining after redemption of the Notes and payment of the fees and expenses of the Trustee, Escrow Agent and each other Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer will not be required to effect a Special Mandatory Redemption following the Escrow Release. (c) If at the time of a Special Mandatory Redemption, the Notes are listed on the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the Exchange of such Special Mandatory Redemption and any relevant details relating to such Special Mandatory Redemption. (d) If at any time the Escrow Account contains cash having an aggregate value in excess of the Spe-cial Mandatory Redemption Price, such excess cash may be released to the Issuer. SECTION 5.10 Redemption Upon a Tax Event. (a) The Issuer may redeem any series of Notes, in whole but not in part, at its option, at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Notes (which notice will be irrevo-cable) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Tax Event Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the
Tax Event Redemption Date as a result of the redemp-tion or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if, on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Issuer is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes and cannot avoid such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer, and such requirement arises as a result of: (1) any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effec-tive after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date); or -100- 

 

    

    

    

		(2) any amendment to, or change in, an official written interpretation or application of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent ju-risdiction or a change in published administrative practice), which amendment or change is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date). (b) The Issuer will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes was then due, and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must be in effect at the time such notice is given. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing in the relevant Tax Jurisdiction to the effect that there has been an amendment or change described in clause (1) or (2) of Section 5.10(a). In addition, before the Issuer publishes or mails notice of redemption of the Notes as described above, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Issuer cannot avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. The Trustee shall accept, and will be entitled to conclusively rely on, such an Opinion of Counsel and such Officer’s Certificate as sufficient evidence of the ex-istence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent described in clause (1) or (2) of Section 5.10(a), as applicable, and upon delivery of such Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee the Issuer will be entitled to give notice of redemption hereunder and such notice of redemption will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes.

(a) Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: (1) default in any payment of interest on any Note when due and payable, continued for 30 days; (2) default in the payment of the principal amount of, or premium, if any, on any Note issued under this Indenture when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; (3) failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor to comply for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or by the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes with any agreement or obligation (other than a default referred to in Section 6.1(a)(1) or (2)) con-tained in this Indenture; provided that in the case of a failure to comply with Section 3.10 of this Indenture, such period of continuance of such default or breach shall be 90 days after written notice described in this clause (3) has been given; (4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary whether such Indebted-ness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date hereof, which default: (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness, at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) provided in such Indebtedness (“payment default”); or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated final maturity (the “cross acceleration provision”); -101- 

 

    

    

    

		and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100.0 million or more; (5) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary; (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding; (B) proceeding; consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or (C) property; consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for substantially all of its (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (E) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency pro-ceeding against it; or (F) takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency (col-lectively, the “bankruptcy provisions”); (6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (A) is for relief against the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; (B) all of its property; appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary for substantially (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary; or (D) or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws; and, in the case of any of the foregoing clauses (A) through (D), the order, decree or relief remains un-stayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; (7) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary, to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $100.0 million other than any judgments covered by indemnities provided by, or insurance poli-cies issued by, reputable and creditworthy companies, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 consecutive days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed (the “judgment default provision”); or (8) any Note Guarantee by a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect, other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidi-ary denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, other than in accordance with the terms thereof or upon release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Default under Section 6.1(a)(3), (4), or (7) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the Default and, with respect to Sections 6.1(a)(3) and (7), the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified in Section 6.1(a)(3) or (7), as applicable, after receipt of such notice. -102- 

 

    

    

    

		SECTION 6.2 Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(5) and (a)(6) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts on, all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts will be due and payable immediately. In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(4), such Event of Default and all conse-quences thereof shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose: (1) (x) the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full; or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or (z) cured; and if the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been remedied or (2) (i) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (ii) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal of, and premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. (b) If an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(5) and (a)(6) with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts on, all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. (c) (i) If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another Default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another Default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default shall also be cured without any further action and (ii) any Default or Event of Default for the fail-ure to comply with the time periods prescribed under Section 3.10, or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by said provision or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified herein. SECTION 6.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pur-sue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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. SECTION 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, (a) waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or ex--103- 

 

    

    

    

		change offer for, Notes), an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, interest, if any, or Additional Amounts on a Note or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2(b) cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected and (b) rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent juris-diction, (2) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, premium, if any, and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (4) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances and (5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (4) of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right. SECTION 6.5 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Notes or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that the Trus-tee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any actions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) that may be caused by taking or not taking such action. SECTION 6.6 Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.7, no Holder may pursue any remedy with re-spect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: (1) continuing; such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is (2) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have re-quested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such Holders have offered in writing to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the written request and the offer of security or indemnity; and (5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial
to such Holders). SECTION 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this In-denture (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, pre-mium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. -104- 

 

    

    

    

		SECTION 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest, if any, to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. SECTION 6.9 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 the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodi-an in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.10 Priorities. (a) If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: FIRST: to the Trustee and the Agents for amounts due to them under Section 7.7; SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal of, or premium, if any, and interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal of, or premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and THIRD: to the Issuer, or to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor. (b)The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discre-tion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party liti-gant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Issuer, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes. -105- 

 

    

    

    

		ARTICLE VII TRUSTEE SECTION 7.1 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth as duties of the Trustee in this Indenture or the Notes, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates, opinions or orders furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifical-ly required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to de-termine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Of-ficer unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5; and (4) no provision of this Indenture or the Notes shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or there-under or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that re-payment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.1. (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee or held by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Indenture need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. (g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1 and the provisions of this Article VII shall apply to the Agents and to the Trustee (to the extent it shall act in the capacity of Registrar, Transfer Agent, Authentication Agent or Paying Agent). -106- 

 

    

    

    

		SECTION 7.2 Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee shall receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Issuer as provided herein, but shall have no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance with covenants or other obligations of the Issuer. The Trustee may re-frain, without liability, from acting in accordance with any instruction if it determines that such instruction is unclear, equivocal or conflicting. In the event the Trustee determines that an instruction is unclear, equivocal or conflicting, the Trustee will advise the instructing party as soon as reasonably practicable of such determination.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of coun-sel relating to this Indenture or the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from lia-bility in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Notes in good faith and in reliance on the advice or opinion of such counsel. (f) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default or whether any entity or group of entities constitutes a Significant Subsidiary unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default or of any such Significant Subsidiary is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee specified in Section 3.11, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. (g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, includ-ing, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent (including each Agent), custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. (h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Notes at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the pro-visions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered (and, if requested, provided) to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be in-curred therein or thereby. (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter unless such fact or matter is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee.

prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate. -107- 

 

    

    

    

		(k) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further in-quiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, during business hours and upon rea-sonable notice, the books, records and premises of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. (l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder. (m) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture or the Notes. (n) In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any Person for special, punitive, indirect, conse-quential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. (o) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by one Officer of the Issuer. SECTION 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transac-tions with the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest under the Trust Inden-ture Act, the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign. SECTION 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no represen-tation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes, shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. SECTION 7.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall send electronically or by first class mail to each Holder at the address set forth in the register maintained by the Registrar notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note (including payments pursuant to the optional re-demption or required repurchase provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. SECTION 7.6 [Reserved]. SECTION 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services hereunder and under the
Notes as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing reports, certificates and other doc-uments, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compen-sation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the agents, counsel, accountants and experts of the Trustee. -108- 

 

    

    

    

		The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, damages, claims or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee) (including reasonable attorneys’ and agents’ fees and ex-penses) incurred by it without willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a court of competent juris-diction, on its part in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Notes, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7) and the Notes and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received writ-ten notice. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the de-fense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Any settlement which affects the Trustee may not be entered into without the written consent of the Trus-tee, unless the Trustee is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Trustee. Any settlement by the Trustee which affects the Issuer may not be entered into without the written consent of the Issuer. To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Trustee’s respective right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Issuer. The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs fees, expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(5) or (a)(6), the fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. SECTION 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggre-gate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the removed Trustee in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such removal and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; (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 by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee as described in the preceding paragraph, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee. A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trus-tee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7. -109- 

 

    

    

    

		If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may (i) appoint a suc-cessor Trustee on the Issuer’s behalf; or (ii) petition, at the Issuer’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b), any Holder, who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall have no liability for any action or inaction of any successor Trustee. SECTION 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking associa-tion, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the suc-cessor to the Trustee; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall only apply to its successor or successors by merger, consolidation or conversion. SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condi-tion. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be ex-cluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the require-ments for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b)(1) are met. SECTION 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated. SECTION 7.12 Trustee’s Application for Instruction from the Issuer. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trus-tee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date any Officer of the Issuer actually receives
such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. SECTION 7.13 Escrow Authorization. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, (i) consents and agrees to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Escrow Account Charge, including documents related thereto, as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in writing by the parties thereto (provided that no amendment or waiver that would materially adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Notes (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) may be effected without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding), and (ii) authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Escrow Agree--110- 

 

    

    

    

		ment and the Escrow Account Charge and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuer shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Account Charge, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interest contemplated by the Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Account Charge or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Inden-ture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purpose herein expressed. The Issuer shall take, or shall cause to be taken, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Escrow Account Charge to create and maintain, as security for the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes as provided in the Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Account Charge, valid and enforceable first priority perfected Liens in and on all of the Escrowed Property, in favor of the Trustee for its benefit and for the benefit of the Holders, superior to and prior to the rights of third Persons and subject to no other Liens. Whether or not expressly provided for therein, in executing, delivering and performing under the Escrow Agreement or Escrow Account Charge, the Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges and immunities set forth in this Indenture. ARTICLE VIII LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE SECTION 8.1 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance; Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article VIII. SECTION 8.2 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 are satis-fied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all of their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees, and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on written de-mand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer ac-knowledging the same) and to have cured all then existing Events of Default, except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of Notes issued under this Indenture to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust referred to in Section 8.4 hereof; (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Article II concerning issuing tem-porary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Section 3.11 hereof concerning the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Issuer’s or Guar-antors’ obligations in connection therewith; and (4) this Article VIII with respect to provisions relating to Legal Defeasance. Subject to compliance with this Section 8.2, the Issuer
may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 not-withstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3 hereof. SECTION 8.3 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the op-tion applicable to this Section 8.3, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the condi-tions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sec--111- 

 

    

    

    

		tions 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.12 (except with respect to the Issuer), 3.13, 3.19, 3.20 and Sec-tion 4.1 (except Section 4.1(a)(1) and (a)(2)) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirect-ly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such cov-enant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a De-fault or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof, but, except as specified in this Section 8.3, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exer-cise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(a)(3) (solely with respect to the defeased covenants listed above), 6.1(a)(4), 6.1(a)(5) (with respect only to a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(a)(6) (with respect only to a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(a)(7), and 6.1(a)(8) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. SECTION 8.4 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defea-sance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof: (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee (or other such entity directed, desig-nated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such purpose) cash in Dollars (if to the Trustee) or cash in Euros or European Government Obligations (if to a third-party designee) or a combination thereof in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due on the Notes to, but excluding, the date of redemption or ma-turity, as the case may be; provided, upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Pre-mium, the amount deposited will be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee (or other such entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reason-ably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such purpose) equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee (or other such entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such purpose) on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Ap-plicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit will be applied toward such redemption; and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particu-lar redemption date; (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions: (A) the
Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or (B) since the issuance of such Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law; in either case stating that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. feder-al income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such -112- 

 

    

    

    

		Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (4) [reserved]; (5) [reserved]; (6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended; (7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the de-posit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying, defrauding or preferring any creditors of the Issuer; (8) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and (9) with respect to European Government Obligations or a combination of money and Euro-pean Government Obligations, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate from an Independ-ent Financial Advisor expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited European Government Obligations plus any deposited money with-out investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. SECTION 8.5Deposited Money and European Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and European Government Obligations (includ-ing the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or such entity directed. designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such purpose or any other qualifying trustee, col-lectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this In-denture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the ex-tent required by law. The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or European Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or European Government Obligations held by it as pro-vided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor expressed in a written certifi-cation thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(9) hereof), are in ex-cess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. SECTION 8.6 Repayment to the Issuer. Any money deposited with the Trustee, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining un-claimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any,
or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to -113- 

 

    

    

    

		the Issuer for payment thereof unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; pro-vided, however, that the Trustee, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issu-er cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. SECTION 8.7 Reinstatement. If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or Euros or European Gov-ernment Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or European Government Obligations held by the Trustee. ARTICLE IX AMENDMENTS SECTION 9.1 Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.2 of this Indenture, the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to its Note Guarantee or this Indenture), the Trustee and any other agents party thereto may amend, supplement, modify or waive any provision of this Indenture, any Note Guarantee and the Notes or any other Notes Document without the consent of any Holder to: (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect, error or inconsistency, conform any provi-sion to any provision under the heading “Description of Notes” in the Offering Circular, to the extent such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation thereof, as such intention is set forth in an Officer’s Cer-tificate, or reduce the minimum denomination of the Notes; (2) provide for the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under any Notes Document; (3) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (4) add to the covenants or provide for a Note Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; (5) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect (as determined in good faith by the Issuer); (6) at the Issuer’s election, comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act (it being agreed that this Indenture will not on the Issue Date, and need not thereafter, qualify under the Trust Indenture Act); (7) make such provisions as necessary (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) for the is-suance of Additional Notes and to secure such Additional Notes and all related Obligations; (8) to provide for any Restricted Subsidiary to provide a Note Guarantee in accordance with Section 3.2, to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes, to add security to or for the benefit of the Notes, or to confirm and evidence the release, termination, discharge or retaking of any Guarantee or Lien with re-spect to or securing the Notes when such release, termination, discharge or retaking is provided for under this Indenture; -114- 

 

    

    

    

		(9) evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a suc-cessor Trustee pursuant to the requirements hereof or to provide for the accession by the Trustee to any Notes Document; (10) make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including to facilitate the issuance and administration of Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes in any material respect; (11) provide for the release, addition, completion, confirmation or grant of Note Guarantees permitted or required by this Indenture, including the entering into or execution of supplemental indentures and/or Note Guarantees; or (12) change its fiscal year, upon written notice to the Trustee and delivery of the financial statements with respect to the Transition Period in accordance with Section 3.10, in which case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be authorized by the Holders to make any adjustments to this Indenture and the other Notes Documents as are necessary in order to reflect such change in financial reporting. Subject to Section 9.2, upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents de-scribed in Sections 9.6 and 13.4 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discre-tion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to Hold-ers a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1. SECTION 9.2 With Consent of Holders. (a) Except as provided in this Section 9.2, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Notes Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and issued under this Indenture, including, without limitation, consents ob-tained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and, subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary with any provision of the Notes Doc-uments may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then out-standing Notes issued under this Indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). Section 2.12 hereof and Section 13.6 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.2. Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 9.6 and 13.4 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental
indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. (b) Without the consent of Holders holding not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: -115- 

 

    

    

    

		(1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amend-ment, supplement or waiver; (2) reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any such Note; (3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any such Note; (4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any such Note or change the time at which any such Note may be redeemed (for the avoidance of doubt, other than provisions relating to Sec-tions 3.5 and 3.9); provided, any amendment to the minimum notice requirement may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes; (5) make any such Note payable in currency other than that stated in such Note; (6) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any right to receive payment of principal of and interest or Additional Amounts on such Holder’s Notes; (7) waive a Default or Event of Default with respect to the nonpayment of principal, premi-um or interest (except pursuant to a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a ma-jority in aggregate principal amount of such Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); (8) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes or Note Guarantees that would adversely affect the Holders; or (9) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions which require the Holders’ con-sent described in this Section 9.2(b). No provisions of the Escrow Agreement (including, without limitation, those relating to the release of the Escrowed Property) may be amended or waived in a manner that would materially adversely affect the Holders of the Notes (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) without the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. No provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Issuer’s obliga-tion to redeem the Notes through a Special Mandatory Redemption may be amended or waived in a manner that would materially adversely affect the Holders of the Notes without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any Notes Document, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender or exchange of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to Hold-ers a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement. SECTION 9.3 [Reserved]. SECTION 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effec--116- 

 

    

    

    

		tive. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds eve-ry Holder. The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Section 9.4 or required or permitted to be tak-en pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. SECTION 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. SECTION 9.6 Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental in-denture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.4 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stat-ing that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is valid, binding and enforceable against the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms. ARTICLE X GUARANTEE SECTION 10.1 Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, from and after the consumma-tion of the Transactions and the execution and delivery of the Escrow Release Date Supplemental Indenture, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably Guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety (to the extent permitted by law), jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder and to the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the prin-cipal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Issuer under this Indenture (including, without limitation, but only to the extent not prohibited by law interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceed-ing and the obligations under Section 7.7) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations” and each such Guarantee, collectively, the Note Guarantees”). Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaran-teed Obligations will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the ex-tent such other Indebtedness is subordinate to the Guaranteed Obligations, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to such other Indebtedness. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.1, after the consummation of the Transactions, each Initial Guarantor
shall execute the Escrow Release Date Supplemental Indenture and each Guarantor to be added under this Indenture after the Escrow Release Date shall execute such other supplemental indenture to this Indenture and such supplemental indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its authorized officers, subject to such limitations and exceptions as required by applicable laws. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.1 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authen-ticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. -117- 

 

    

    

    

		Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Guaranteed Obligations may be ex-tended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any secu-rity held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 10.2, to the extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Guarantor here-under shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or de-mand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Issuer; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with Sec-tion 10.2, Article VIII or Article XI. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premi-um, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Guaranteed Obliga-tions when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the un-paid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guar-anteed Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after
the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like pro-ceeding relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is al-lowed in such proceeding). Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations Guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee. Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and docu-mented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Sec-tion 10.1. -118- 

 

    

    

    

		SECTION 10.2 Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge. (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by each Guarantor with-out rendering the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor voidable under applicable laws relating to fraudulent convey-ance, fraudulent transfer, improper corporate benefit, capital maintenance, fiduciary duties of management, financial assistance or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. (b) Any limitations on the obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date, which are necessary to avoid any of the scenarios contemplated in clause (a) of this Section 10.2, shall be set forth in the supplemental indenture hereto pursuant to which such Guarantor shall accede to this Indenture, and such limitations shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set out in full in this Section 10.2. (c) Any Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally re-leased and discharged upon: (i) any sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, amalgamation or merger) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor after which such Subsidiary Guaran-tor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor, to a Person other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidi-ary, in each case, if such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture; (ii) the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the occurrence of any event after which the Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Articles VIII or XI; (iv) such Subsidiary Guarantor being released from (A) all of its obligations under all of its Guarantees of payment by the Issuer of any Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement or (B) in the case of a Note Guarantee made by a Subsidiary Guarantor (each, an “Oth-er Guarantee”) as a result of its Guarantee of other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor pur-suant to Section 3.7, the relevant Indebtedness, except in the case of (A) or (B), a release as a re-sult of the repayment in full of the Indebtedness specified in clause (A) or (B) (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still considered a release, and if any such In-debtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement or any Other Guarantee is so reinstated, such Note Guarantee shall also be reinstated); or (v) (A) the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such mer-ger, amalgamation or consolidation, or (B) the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guar-antor following the transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to the Issuer or another Subsidi-ary Guarantor. SECTION 10.3 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guar-antor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Note Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuer or any oth-er Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. SECTION 10.4 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated
to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any -119- 

 

    

    

    

		Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any con-tribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Guaranteed Obli-gations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forth-with upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations. SECTION 10.5 Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. ARTICLE XI SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE SECTION 11.1 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: (a) either: (1) all Notes that have been authenticated and delivered except lost, stolen or de-stroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has thereto-fore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Registrar for cancellation; or (2) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Registrar for cancellation (i) have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, (ii) will become due and payable within one year at their Stated Maturity or (iii) are to be called for re-demption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee or Paying Agent for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee or Paying Agent in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer; (b) the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or other such entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trus-tee for such purpose), as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars (if to the Trustee) or cash in Euros or European Government Obligations (if to a third-party designee), or a combina-tion thereof (together with, if European Government Obligations or a combination of money and European Government Obligations are deposited, a certificate from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect set forth in Section 8.4(9)), in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not previously delivered to the Registrar for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and interest to, but excluding, the date of deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), or to, but excluding, the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; provided, that (I) upon any redemption that re-quires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited will be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee (or other such entity directed, designat-ed or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such pur-pose) equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Ap-plicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee (or other such entity directed, des-ignated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such purpose) on or prior to the date of redemption and (II) any Applicable Premium Deficit will be set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premi-um Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit will be applied toward such redemption; (c) [reserved]; -120- 

 

    

    

    

		(d) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; (e) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Notes issued hereunder at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and (f) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent under Article XI relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with clauses (a) and (b)). Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the provisions of Section 7.7, and if mon-ey has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.1, the provisions of Sections 11.2 and 8.6 hereof will survive. SECTION 11.2 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (includ-ing the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or European Government Obligations in ac-cordance with Section 11.1 hereof 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 any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, pre-mium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or European Government Obliga-tions held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

In determining whether the Holders of the required aggre-gate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of them shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the pur-pose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. In connection with any such direction, waiver or consent, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate listing and iden-tifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned by or for the account of the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof.

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action, or proceeding that may be brought in connection with this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes, including such actions, suits or proceedings relat-ing to securities laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an incon-venient forum. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, is subject by a suit
upon such judgment; provided, however that service of process is effected upon the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in the manner provided by this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any suit, action or pro-ceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture which involves a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Mex-ico, each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits for itself and its property to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; and (ii) waives its right to the jurisdiction of any other courts that it may be entitled to by virtue of its present or future domicile or for any other reason.

of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its succes-sors. SECTION 13.15Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces be-yond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utili-ties, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. SECTION 13.19Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, il-legal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. SECTION 13.20Currency Indemnity and Calculation of Euro-Denominated Restrictions. Euro is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer and the Guarantors, if any, under or in con-nection with the Notes and the Note Guarantees, if any, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than Euro, whether as a result of, or the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any juris-diction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer, any Guarantor or otherwise by any Holder or by the Trustee, in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer or a Guarantor will only constitute a discharge of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, to the extent of the Euro amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not prac-ticable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that Euro amount is less than the Euro amount expressed to be due to the recipient or the Trustee under any Note, the Issuer and the Guarantors will indemnify such recipient and the Trustee against any loss sustained by such recipient or the Trustee as a result. In any event, the Issuer and the Guarantors will indemnify the recipient or the Trustee on a joint and several basis against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Sec-tion 13.20, it will be prima facie evidence of the matter stated therein for the Holder of a Note or the Trustee to certi-fy in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer (indicating the sources of information used) the loss it Incurred in making any such purchase. These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ other obligations, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irre-spective of any waiver granted by any Holder of a Note or the Trustee (other than a waiver of the indemnities set out herein) and will continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Note or any Note Guarantee, or to the Trustee. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any Euro-denominated restriction herein, the Euro equivalent amount for purposes hereof that is denominated in a non-Euro currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such non-Euro amount is Incurred or made, as the case may be. SECTION 13.21Prescription. Claims against
the Issuer or any Guarantor for the payment of principal of, or interest, premium, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes will become void unless presentation for pay-ment is made as required in this Indenture within a period of seven years, in the case of principal, or five years, in the case of interest, premium or Additional Amounts, if any, from the applicable original payment date therefor; provided that such claim has not been stayed or otherwise prohibited or delayed by applicable law or court order. SECTION 13.22Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. The Issuers acknowledge and accept that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other agreement, ar-rangement or understanding between the parties: (a) any Liability may be subject to the exercise of Write-down and Conversion Powers by the Resolution Authority; -126- 

 

    

    

    

		(b) The Issuers will be bound by the effect of any application of any Write-down and Con-version Powers in relation to any Liability and in particular (but without limitation) by: (i) any reduction in the principal amount, in full or in part, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) due in respect of any Liability; and (ii) any conversion of all or part of any Liability into ordinary shares or other in-struments of ownership of Citibank, N.A., London Branch or any other person; that may result from any exercise of any Write-down and Conversion Powers in relation to any Liability; (c) the terms of this Indenture and the rights of the Issuers hereunder may be varied, to the extent necessary, to give effect to any exercise of any Write-down and Conversion Powers in relation to any Liability and the Issuers will be bound by any such variation; and (d) ordinary shares or other instruments of ownership of Citibank, N.A., London Branch or any other person may be issued to or conferred on Issuers as a result of any exercise of any Write-down and Conversion Powers in relation to any Liability.

The Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. 7.

Discharge and Defeasance Subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Paying Agent (or other such entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for such purpose) cash in Dollars (if to the Trustee) or cash in Euros or European Government Obligations (if to the Paying Agent) for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any on the Notes to redemp-tion or maturity, as the case may be. 12.

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, and other monetary obligations will be due and payable immediately. If a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, and any other monetary obliga-tions on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest under the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the Commission for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign. 15. No Recourse Against Others No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or equityholder of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as such, shall have any personal liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guaran-tors under the Notes Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 16. Authentication This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an Authentication Agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
