Section 4.04 Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) The Company or, if applicable, each Guarantor (pursuant to the terms of the applicable Guarantee) (each, a “Payor”) will make all payments of, or in respect of, principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes, or any payment pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest, and other liabilities related thereto) whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected (“Taxes”) by or for the account of Bermuda, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is organized, or resident for tax purposes, engaged in business for tax purposes or through which payment is made (or any political

subdivision thereof or any authority thereof having the power to tax) (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

(b) If a Payor is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold Taxes from any payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes, or any payments pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, such Payor will pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received in respect of such payments by the holder of such Note, after such deduction or withholding (including any such deduction or withholding in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that a Payor shall not be required to pay any Additional Amount for or on account of:

(1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that the holder or beneficial owner of the applicable Note or Guarantee (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) is or has been a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging or having been engaged in a trade or business or maintaining or having maintained a permanent establishment or being or having been physically present in, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise having or having had some connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of, or the collection of principal of, and premium (if any) or interest on, a Note or the enforcement of the applicable Guarantee, as the case may be;

(2) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that, where presentation is required in order to receive payment, the applicable Note or Guarantee was presented more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or was provided for, whichever is later except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the applicable Note or Guarantee been presented for payment on any day during such 30 day period;

(3) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

(4) any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on or in respect of the applicable Note or Guarantee;

(5) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the failure by the holder or the beneficial owner of the applicable Note or Guarantee to comply with a written request addressed to the holders (A) to provide any certification, identification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or the beneficial owner or its connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (B) to make any valid or timely declaration or claim or satisfy any other reporting, information or procedural requirements relating to such matters if, in either case, compliance is required by statute, regulation or

administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or exemption from such Taxes;

(6) any deduction or withholding arising on or in connection with FATCA;

and

(7) any combination of the Taxes described in (1) through (6) above.

(c) In addition, Additional Amounts shall not be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any of the applicable Notes or Guarantees to any holder of the applicable Notes or Guarantees that is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership, an interest holder in such limited liability company or a beneficial owner that would not have been entitled to such amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member, interest holder or beneficial owner been the holder of the relevant Notes or Guarantees.

(d) The Payor shall (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts or such other reasonable evidence of the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes. The Payor shall furnish to the Trustee (or to a holder upon written request), within a reasonable time after the date of the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, such certified copies or proof of payment. The Payor shall attach a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by the certified copy or other proof of payment was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Copies of such documentation shall be available for inspecting during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the holders of the Notes upon written request and will be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent.

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable, prior to each Record Date preceding the related Interest Payment Date and each date on which any other payment under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantee thereof is due and payable, if the Payor shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Payor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable, the amounts so payable and shall furnish such other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to holders on the payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officer’s Certificate addressing such matters. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for the determination, verification or calculation of any Additional Amounts. Such Officer’s Certificate may be forwarded by the Trustee to the registered holder and also upon written request to any holder.

(f) Unless otherwise stated in the Indenture, references in any context to the payment of principal of, and any premium or interest on, any Note, other payment on or with

respect to the Notes or any payment pursuant to the Guarantees, shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(g) The Payor shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement following the occurrence of any event of default of any Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein. For the avoidance of doubt, no Payor shall be responsible for the payment or other discharge of such taxes, charges, or levies that arise as a result of, or in connection with, any transfer, assignment or the disposition of the Notes (or any rights attaching thereto) by any holder.

(h) The foregoing obligations shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Supplemental Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized or any political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof or therein having the power to tax.

Section 4.05 Future Guarantors.

(a) The Company shall cause each Subsidiary of the Company that is required to guarantee any series of the Subsidiary Guarantee Triggering Notes, within 90 days of the date on which the Company becomes required to deliver a guarantee of any series of Subsidiary Guarantee Triggering Notes pursuant to the applicable indenture governing such Subsidiary Guarantee Triggering Notes, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to the Indenture in substantially the same form as Exhibit B hereto and with such other terms as shall be substantially consistent with any guarantee by such Guarantor of the Subsidiary Guarantee Triggering Notes.

(b)

The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically released:

(1)

upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Guarantor;

(2)

upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of a Guarantor;

(3)

at such time as such Guarantor is no longer a guarantor of any series of Subsidiary Guarantee Triggering Notes;

(4)

upon the defeasance of the Notes, as provided under Article 9; or

(5)

as described under Article 8,

in the case of clause (1) or (2), other than to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company and as permitted by this Indenture.

(c) If the Guarantee of any Guarantor is deemed to be released or is automatically released, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating

the identity of the released Guarantor, the basis for release in reasonable detail, and that such release complies with this Indenture. At the written request of the Company, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which may be subject to customary exceptions and qualifications, each stating that all conditions provided for in this Indenture to the release of such Guarantor have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably required in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Guarantee (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any automatic release pursuant to Section 4.05(b)).

ARTICLE 5

SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01 Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets.

(a) The Company shall not (1) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge into any other entity or (2) convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, unless:

(1) the Company is the successor entity, or the successor or transferee entity, if other than the Company, is a Person (if such Person is not a corporation, then such successor or transferee will include a corporate co-issuer) organized and existing under the laws of any Permitted Jurisdiction (except if the Company determines in good faith that such requirement is not in the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries or that complying with such requirement would not be advisable for tax planning purposes or to improve tax efficiencies) and expressly assumes by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, any premium on and any interest on all the outstanding Notes and the performance of every covenant and obligation in the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company;

In case of any such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer (but not lease), the successor entity will succeed to and be substituted for the Company as obligor on the Notes, with the same effect as if it had been named in the Indenture as the Company.

(b) No Guarantor shall amalgamate, consolidate with or merge into any other entity, unless:

(1) the Company or a Guarantor is the successor entity or the successor or transferee entity, if not such Guarantor prior to such amalgamation, consolidation or merger, will be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Guarantor was organized or under any other Permitted Jurisdiction, and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee; provided, however, that the foregoing will not apply in the case of a Guarantor (i) that has been, or will be as a result of the subject transaction, disposed of in its entirety to another Person (other than to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company), whether through an amalgamation, merger or consolidation or (ii) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its Capital Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary;

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each in form required by the Base Indenture and stating that such amalgamation, consolidation or merger and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this Section 5.01(b) and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor or successor entity, as applicable, subject to customary exceptions.

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, this Section 5.01 shall not apply to an amalgamation, merger, transfer or conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and the Guarantors.

ARTICLE 6

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 6.01 Events of Default. In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 6.01(a) of the Base Indenture, each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

(1) the failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01;

(2) the failure by the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, to comply for 45 days after notice with any of its obligations in Section 4.01 (other than a failure to purchase Notes) or under Sections 4.02, 4.03 or 4.05;

(5) a Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee) or a Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee.

However, a Default under clause (2) or (4) of this Section 6.01 or clause (c) or (d) of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company (with a copy to the Trustee if given by the Holders) of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. In the event of any Event of Default specified under clause (3) of this Section 6.01 such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) 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: (a) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (b) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

ARTICLE 7

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 7.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

(a) The Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when either:

(i) all Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii)

(1) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, a nationally recognized investment bank or a nationally recognized appraisal or valuation firm delivered to the Trustee if Government Securities are delivered, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Debt on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(2) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Company under the Indenture with respect to the Notes; and

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

(b) In addition, the Company shall deliver 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 to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes, the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith shall survive, and if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii)(1), the provisions of Section 7.02 and Section 9.06 shall survive.

Section 7.02 Application of Trust Money.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal 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.

(b) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 7.01 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 Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 7.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.

In addition to items set forth in Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors and Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture to release a Guarantor from its Guarantee when permitted by Section 4.05(b) of this Supplemental Indenture.

ARTICLE 9

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 9.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 9.

Section 9.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge

(a) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.01 of the option applicable to this Section 9.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to this Indenture, all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 9.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) through (4) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture, except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due, solely out of the trust referred to in Section 9.04;

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for Note payments held in trust;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Section 9.02.

(b) If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

(c) Subject to compliance with this Article 9, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.02 notwithstanding its prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03.

Section 9.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.01 of the option applicable to this Section 9.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 4.05 of this Supplemental Indenture and Sections 4.04 and 4.05 of the Base Indenture on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance ”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Supplemental Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(2), 6.01(3), 6.01(4) or 6.01(5) of this Supplemental Indenture or Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), or 6.01(e) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries) of the Base Indenture, in each case, shall not constitute an Event of Default.

Section 9.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

(a) The following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance option under Section 9.02 or the Covenant Defeasance option under Section 9.03 with respect to the Notes:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of

independent public accountants, a nationally recognized investment bank or a nationally recognized appraisal or valuation firm delivered to the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,

(A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

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

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes 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) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Multi-Year Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or material debt instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(5) the Company has 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 relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and

(6) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

Section 9.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Subject to Section 9.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the

provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(b) Anything in this Article 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 9.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, a nationally recognized investment bank or a nationally recognized appraisal or valuation firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 9.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 9.06 Repayment to the Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may cause to be published once, in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 10 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

Section 9.07 Reinstatement. If and for so long as the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 9.02 or Section 9.03, 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 Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 9.02 or Section 9.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

If any such day is not a Business Day, interest shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including April 8, 2019; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be , 20 . The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. The Company or, if applicable, each Guarantor (pursuant to the terms of the applicable Guarantee) (each, a “Payor”) shall make all payments of, or in respect of, principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes, or any payment pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest, and other liabilities related thereto) whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected (“Taxes”) by or for the account of Bermuda, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is organized, or resident for tax purposes, engaged in business for tax purposes or through which payment is made (or any political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof having the power to tax) (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof. If a Payor is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold Taxes from any payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes, or any payments pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, such Payor shall pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received in respect of such payments by the holder of such Note, after such deduction or withholding (including any such deduction or withholding in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided , however, that a Payor shall not be required to pay Additional Amounts under certain circumstances set forth in the Indenture.
