THE NOTES

Section 2.01

Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes shall be issued in series of senior unsecured notes consisting of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2022. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, 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.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent outstanding Notes of each such series as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian therefor, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof.

Section 2.02

Execution and Authentication.

An Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

If the Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate the Initial Notes for original issue up to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2022 and, upon delivery of any Authentication Order at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate Additional Notes for original issue, or Definitive Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Responsible Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating

agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.03

Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuer will maintain offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Registrar”) and offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”). Offices or agencies of the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes, will be maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and traded on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in Luxembourg. The Registrar, acting as agent of the Issuer solely for this purpose, will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. However, if and for so long as the Notes is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and traded on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will publish notice of the change in Paying Agent or Registrar in a daily leading newspaper with general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (xxx.xxxxxx.xx). The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee, acting as agent of the Issuer solely for this purpose, shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, acting as agent of the Issuer solely for this purpose, may act as Registrar.

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Notes. A nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon will act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent in New York and London and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes, and initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent in Luxembourg.

Section 2.04

Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. Money held in trust by a Paying Agent need not be segregated, except as required by law, and in no event shall any Paying Agent be liable for interest on any money received by it hereunder. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent will have no further liability for the money. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee and The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. will serve as Paying Agents for the Notes.

Section 2.05

Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If

the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

Neither the Trustee nor any of its Agents will have any responsibility or be liable for any aspect of the records in relation to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 2.06

Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the applicable Depositary to a nominee of the applicable Depositary, by a nominee of the applicable Depositary to the applicable Depositary or to another nominee of the applicable Depositary, or by the applicable Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes of a series will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:

(1) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary (i) that such Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (ii) that such Depositary is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; or

(2) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note.

Upon the occurrence of any of the events listed in the preceding clause (1) of this Section 2.06(a), or if the Issuer, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under this Indenture, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes of the series and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the applicable Global Note tendered in exchange therefor. The Issuer will, at the cost of the Issuer (but against such indemnity as the Registrar or any relevant Agent may require in respect of any tax or other duty of whatever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such exchange), cause sufficient Definitive Notes to be executed and delivered to the Trustee for authentication and the Registrar for registration of the exchange and dispatch to the relevant Holders within 30 days of the relevant event. The Trustee or the Registrar shall, at the cost of the Issuer, deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. Definitive Notes issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its Participants or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c), (d) or (e) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.

(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes. If any one of the events listed in clause (1) of Section 2.06(a) has occurred or the Issuer has elected pursuant to Section 2.06(a) to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes, transfers or exchanges of beneficial interests in a Global Note for a Definitive Note shall be effected.

If any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then the Trustee will, upon instruction, cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof, and the Issuer will execute and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instruction to the Trustee a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Notes issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the applicable Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

(d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Global Note.

(e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes, the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing.

(f) Legends. The following legends will appear on the face of all Global Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture. Each Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER.

UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS

CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 XXXXX XXXXXX, XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX) (“DTC”) TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order or at the Registrar’s request.

(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.09, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5) The Issuer will not be required:

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part;

(C) to transfer or exchange any Note tendered and not withdrawn in connection with a Repurchase Offer or an Excess Proceeds Offer; or

(7) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

Section 2.07

Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

If, after the delivery of such replacement Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such original Note, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a bona fide 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, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent in connection therewith.

Subject to the provisions of the final sentence of the preceding paragraph of this Section 2.07, every replacement Note is an obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08

Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note

effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer.

If the entire principal amount and premium, if any, of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

For purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have taken any action as herein described, the principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such principal amount of the Notes as of (i) if a record date has been set with respect to the taking of such action, such date or (ii) if no such record date has been set, the date the taking of such action by the Holders of such requisite principal amount is certified to the Trustee by the Issuer.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an Agent duly appointed in writing or may be embodied in or evidenced by an electronic transmission which identifies the documents containing the proposal on which such consent is requested and certifies such Holders’ consent thereto and agreement to be bound thereby; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.

Section 2.09

Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer, will be considered as though not outstanding to the extent required in order to qualify this Indenture under the TIA, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10

Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11

Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) in its customary manner unless the Issuer directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Notes to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12

Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 10 days before the special record date, the Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13

Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including related penalties, interest and other liabilities) (hereinafter, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) the government of the United Kingdom, (2) the United States, (3) any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes, (4) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made and (5) any political subdivision or governmental authority or agency of or in any of the foregoing having the power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.

(b) If the Issuer or a Note Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Issuer or the applicable Note Guarantor shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Holders and beneficial owners (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the Holders and beneficial owners would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:

(1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the relevant Holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding of such Note);

(2) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property Tax or similar Tax;

(3) any Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of, or any premium or interest on, the Notes;

(4) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the beneficial owner of a Note with a request by the Issuer addressed to the Holder or such beneficial owner (A) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence, identity or present or former connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (B) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any certification, information or reporting requirement, which, in the case of (A) or (B), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such Tax;

(5) any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to an individual required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income (the “Directive”) or any law implementing, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive;

(6) any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure to present the Note for payment within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that such beneficiary would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of the 30-day period);

(7) any Taxes imposed with respect to any payment of principal of (or premium, if any on) or interest on such Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note;

(8) any Taxes imposed if the Note is presented for payments by or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner who would be able to avoid a withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note to another paying agent in a Member State; or

(9) any Taxes imposed as a result of a combination of items (1) through (8) above.

(c) If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, as applicable, the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as applicable, will deliver to the Trustee at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer or the Note Guarantor, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter but in no event later than two Business Days prior to the date of payment) notice of payment in the form of an Officer’s Certificate. In either circumstance, the Officer’s Certificate must state that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to Holders and beneficial owners on the relevant payment date.

(d) The Issuer or any Note Guarantor will (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer will provide the Trustee with official receipts or other documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of the Taxes with respect to which Additional Amounts are paid. Certificated copies of such receipts and such other documentation shall be made available to Holders upon request and will be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent if the Notes are then listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Issuer will attach to such copies an Officer’s Certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by such copies was paid in connection with any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee and (y) the amount of such withholding Taxes paid per $1,000 of Notes.

(e) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes, interest, or any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Notes or any Note Guarantee, that reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(f) The Issuer or a Note Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture or any other related document or instrument, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, excluding taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction that is not a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, and the Issuer will agree to indemnify the Holders or the Trustee for any such taxes paid by the Holders or the Trustee.

(g) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.13 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

Section 2.14

Currency Indemnity

(a) The currency of account and payment for all sums, including damages, payable by the Issuer or any Note Guarantor under or in connection with the Notes, is U.S. dollars. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars, whether as a result of, or the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor or otherwise by any Holder of a Note or by the Trustee, in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer or any Note Guarantor will only constitute a discharge to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount, which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so).

(b) If that U.S. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient or the Trustee under any Note, the Issuer and any Note Guarantor will indemnify them against any loss sustained by such recipient as a result. In any event, the Issuer and any Note Guarantor will indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this currency indemnity provision, it will be prima facie evidence of the matter stated therein for the Holder of a Note or the Trustee to certify in a manner 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 and any Note Guarantor’s other obligations, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective 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 to the Trustee.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01

Notices to Trustee.

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

(a)

the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(b)

the record date for the redemption and the redemption date;

(c)

the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

(d)

the redemption price.

Section 3.02

Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase as follows:

(a) if the applicable Notes are listed on any national securities exchange (including the Luxembourg Stock Exchange), in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which they are listed; or

(b) if the applicable Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange or the relevant national securities exchange does not have any applicable requirements, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall deem fair and appropriate, provided that no Notes of $200,000 in aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, or less shall be redeemed in part.

In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer and the Registrar (if not the Issuer) in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in minimum amounts of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000 (in excess of $200,000) shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03

Notice of Redemption.

At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 15 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article 8 hereof or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 10 hereof. So long as any series of the Notes is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and if required by the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, notice will be published in Luxembourg in a daily leading newspaper with general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (xxx.xxxxxx.xx).

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

(a) the record date for the redemption and the redemption date;

(b) the redemption price;

(c) 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 principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(d) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment or the relevant Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

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

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04

Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

Section 3.05

Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

No later than one Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase price 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 and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. 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 and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be required to pay out any money without first having been placed in funds.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the first paragraph of the Section 3.05, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase unless the relevant Paying Agent is prohibited from making such redemption payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest 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 registered 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 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06

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 Authentication Order, the Trustee 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.

Section 3.07

Optional Redemption with Make-Whole.

The Issuer may also choose to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, by paying a redemption price equal to the sum of:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus

(b) the Applicable Premium,

plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Section 3.08

Mandatory Redemption.

The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09

Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (as defined in Section 4.10(b), an “Excess Proceeds Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

The Excess Proceeds Offer shall be made to all Holders at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date as set forth below). As promptly as practicable following termination of the offer period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall apply all Allocable Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Excess Proceeds Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, will 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 will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer.

Upon the commencement of an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will send or cause to be sent, by first class mail, to the Trustee and each of the Holders at the address appearing in the security register, a notice stating:

(a) that the Excess Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Excess Proceeds Offer will remain open;

(b) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(d) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer may elect to have Notes purchased only in minimum denominations of $200,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that a Holder may elect to have all of the Notes held by such Holder purchased even if not an integral multiple of $1,000 (in excess of $200,000);

(f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Excess Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(g) the procedure for withdrawing an election to tender;

(h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $200,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess will be purchased); and

(i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Excess Proceeds Offer on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.10

Redemption of Notes for Changes in Withholding Taxes.

The Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding Notes at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts, if any, that will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of such redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if the Issuer determines in good faith that (a) it, or any Note Guarantor with respect to a Note Guarantee, as the case may be, has become obligated or, on the occasion of the next payment due in respect of the Notes, would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, as applicable, and (b) the payment obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it (including making payment through a paying agent located in another jurisdiction), as a result of:

(1) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations, protocols or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United Kingdom, the United States or any other Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction affecting taxation, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of such Note or Guarantee, or

(2) any change in position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations, protocols or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change in position becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of such Note or Guarantee.

The notice of redemption may not be given (a) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make a payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the

Notes were then due and (b) unless at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. 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 Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the circumstances referred to above exist and the Issuer cannot avoid the obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it. The Trustee shall accept the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above.

ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS

Section 4.01

Payment of Notes.

The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent holds, as of 10:00 AM New York time on the due date, money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest then due and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or the Intercreditor Deed.

The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes. The Issuer will 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) at the same rate.

If a Paying Agent pays out funds on or after the due date therefor, or pays out funds (although it is not obligated) on the assumption that the corresponding payment by the Issuer has been or will be made and such payment has in fact not been so made by the Issuer, then the Issuer shall on demand reimburse the Paying Agent for the relevant amount, and pay interest to the Paying Agent on such amount from the date on which it is paid out to the date of reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the cost to the Paying Agent of funding the amount paid out, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

Section 4.02

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in Luxembourg, where (1) Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and (2) notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York and London, England, and for so long as any Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in Luxembourg, for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 4.03

Ongoing Reporting.

(1) whether or not required by SEC rules and regulations, quarterly and annual reports of the Parent, containing substantially the same information required to be contained in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K, as applicable, under the Exchange Act, including financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or, if permitted by the SEC, international financial reporting standards, and a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (except with respect to (i) guarantor financial statements, but including condensed information complying with Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X of the SEC and (ii) financial statements required pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the SEC); provided, however, that only to the extent reasonably available, at any time that any of Parent’s Subsidiaries is an Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or would in combination with other Unrestricted Subsidiaries be a Significant Subsidiary, the quarterly and annual financial information required by this paragraph will include a presentation, either on the face of the financial statements, in the footnotes thereto, or in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” or other comparable section, of the financial condition and results of operations of Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Parent; and

(2) such other reports containing substantially the same information required to be contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the Closing Date.

The Parent will also make available copies of all reports required by clauses (1) and (2) above on its website.

(b) The Issuer will at all times comply with TIA §314(a).

Section 4.04

Compliance Certificates.

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signer thereof of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period (and, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). The Issuer shall otherwise comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA.

Section 4.05

(2) purchase, repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of the Company;

(4) make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Person

(any such dividend, distribution, payment, purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, retirement, or other acquisition or Investment being herein referred to as a “Restricted Payment”), if at the time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment:

(C) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments (the amount so expended, if other than in cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) declared or made subsequent to July 25, 2006 would exceed the sum of:

(i) an amount equal to 100% of EBITDA since the Merger Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, taken as a single accounting period, less the product of 1.4 times the Consolidated Interest Expense since the Merger Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, taken as a single accounting period;

(iii) the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced on the Company’s Consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange of any Indebtedness of any Intermediate Guarantor or the Issuer issued after July 25, 2006 which is convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company issued to Persons not including the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (less the amount of any cash or the Fair Market Value of other Property distributed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange); and

(iv) without duplication, the sum of

the net proceeds received and retained by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the disposition, retirement or redemption of all or any portion of such Investments (other than Permitted Investments and other than to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary); and

provided, however, that the amount under this clause (iv) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of all such Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made subsequent to July 25, 2006 (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person, which amount was included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments.

For purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments in Section 4.07(a)(C) above declared or made subsequent to July 25, 2006 and prior to the date of this Indenture, any Restricted Payment which was not included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a)(C) of the 2006 Indenture shall also not be included in such calculation under Section 4.07(a)(C).

(b) The provisions of the foregoing paragraph (a) will not prohibit:

(1) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value of Capital Stock or Disqualified Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the sale within 90 days of, Capital Stock or Disqualified Stock of, the Company (other than Capital Stock issued or sold to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or an employee share ownership plan or other trust to the extent funded by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or through a substantially concurrent contribution to the equity of the Company; provided, however, that:

(5) dividends paid within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such dividends would have complied with this Section 4.07; provided, however, that such dividends will be included (without duplication) in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(D) in the case of Section 4.08(a)(3), 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,

(c) For purposes of determining the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09:

(1) Bank Indebtedness Incurred on or prior to the Closing Date shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (b) above;

(2) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.09 permitting such Indebtedness;

(3) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section 4.09, the Company, in its sole discretion (except as specified in this paragraph (c)), shall classify or reclassify from time to time such Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; and

(4) the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness shall be counted only once and any obligations arising under any Guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred under this Section 4.09 shall not be double counted.

(d) For the purposes of determining compliance with any sterling-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than pounds sterling, the sterling-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, provided that (x) the sterling-equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Closing Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than pounds sterling, and such refinancing would cause the applicable sterling-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such sterling-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced based on the exchange rate between the currency of the Indebtedness being Refinanced and the currency of the Refinancing Indebtedness and (z) the sterling-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than pounds sterling and Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Company’s option, (i) the Closing Date, (ii) any date on which any of the respective commitments under any Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or (iii) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing.

Section 4.10

Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless:

(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition;

(2) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Temporary Cash Investments or Additional Assets; and

(3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,

(A) first, to the extent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness), to prepay or repay, purchase, repurchase, redeem, retire, defease or otherwise acquire for value Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of the Issuer, other than

Indebtedness that is either unsecured and pari passu in right of payment to the Notes and the Note Guarantees or Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

(B) second, to the extent of the balance of Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clause (A), to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to invest in Additional Assets or any capitalized expense related thereto (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets or any capitalized expense related thereto by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary);

(C) third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash not applied in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) within 366 days from the later of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash (provided, however, that such 366-day period shall be extended by up to 180 days to the extent a binding contractual commitment to reinvest in or purchase Additional Assets or any capitalized expense related thereto shall have been entered into by such 366th day to the extent such commitment remains in effect and the planned reinvestment or purchase has not been abandoned or cancelled), to make an Excess Proceeds Offer (as defined in paragraph (b) of this Section 4.10) to purchase Notes pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 4.10, subject to proration as described in paragraph (b) below or an offer to purchase any other Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuer, or any Intermediate Guarantor outstanding on the date of such Excess Proceeds Offer that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes or any Guarantee from the Company or an Intermediate Guarantor and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Dispositions similar in all material respects to the covenant described hereunder and requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Senior Indebtedness at substantially the same time as such Excess Proceeds Offer (the “Pari Passu Debt”); and

(D) fourth, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A), (B) and (C) (including any amounts for Notes not tendered in any Excess Proceeds Offer), for any general corporate purpose permitted by the terms of this Indenture;

provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment or repayment, purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition for value of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A), (C) or (D) above, other than in connection with Bank Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving facility the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so permanently prepaid or repaid, purchased, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise acquired for value unless the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary can incur such Indebtedness on such date under this Indenture.

For the purposes of clause (2) of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.10, the following are deemed to be cash:

(1) Indebtedness and other liabilities shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company prior to the date of such Asset Disposition (other than Subordinated Obligations) (i) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and (ii) for which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are released from all liability at the time of such Asset Disposition;

(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by any such Intermediate Guarantor, the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted, sold or exchanged by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Temporary Cash Investments within 90 days, to the extent of the cash or Temporary Cash Investments received in that conversion, sale or exchange; and

(3) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration.

(b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Notes pursuant to clause (a)(3)(C) of this Section 4.10, the Issuer will be required to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Issuer for the Notes (an “Excess Proceeds Offer”), which Excess Proceeds Offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of over-subscription and calculation of the principal amount of Notes denominated in different currencies) set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and Section 3.09, the Issuer may apply the remaining Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (a)(3)(D) of this Section 4.10. The Issuer will not be required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer for Notes or any other Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 4.10 if the Net Available Cash available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in clauses (a)(3)(A) and (a)(3)(B)) is less than £40 million for any particular Asset Disposition (which lesser amount will be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Excess Proceeds Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). Upon completion of each Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Allocable Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” means the product of:

(y) the amount of Net Available Cash remaining after application in accordance with clauses (a)(3)(A) and (a)(3)(B) above, and

(z) a fraction,

(1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of an Excess Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to such date, and

(2) the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of such Excess Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to such date, and the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness with original issue discount) of any Pari Passu Debt plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to such date.

•

Indebtedness and other liabilities shown on the most recent balance sheets of the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary prior to the date of such Asset Disposition (other than Subordinated Obligations) (i) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and (ii) for which the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are released from all liability at the time of such Asset Disposition;

•

any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted, sold or exchanged by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Temporary Cash Investments within 90 days, to the extent of the cash or Temporary Cash Investments received in that conversion, sale or exchange; and

•

any Designated Non-Cash Consideration.

(d) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.10. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.10, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.11

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any Property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless such transaction is on terms:

(1) that are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate;

(2) that, in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate amount in excess of £25 million:

(A) are set forth in writing; and

(3) that, in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate amount in excess of £100 million, have been determined by an Independent Financial Advisor to be fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The provisions of the foregoing paragraph (a) will not apply to:

(1) any Restricted Payment permitted to be paid or made pursuant to Section 4.07;

(2) transactions between the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Subsidiary) or between Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Receivables Subsidiary);

(3) sales of accounts receivable or any participations therein to a Receivables Subsidiary in connection with any Qualified Receivables Transaction;

(5) in respect of clauses (2) and (3) of paragraph (a) above, only, any loans or advances, or Guarantees of third-party loans, to directors, officers, employees and consultants in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practices of the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable;

(16) any transaction in the ordinary course of business between or among the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Company that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a joint venture or similar entity (including a Permitted Joint Venture) that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Unrestricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity.

Section 4.12

Liens.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any consensual Lien of any nature whatsoever (any such Lien, an “Initial Lien”) on any of its Property or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured.

(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer, each Note Guarantor and their Restricted Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Issuer and each Note Guarantor shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors or an Officer of the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer, each Note Guarantor and their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

The foregoing shall not prohibit a sale, transfer or conveyance of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) or any of its assets in compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall not be obligated to purchase the Notes pursuant to this section in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof.

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control giving rise to the obligations under this Section 4.15 or, at the Issuer’s option, at any time prior to a Change of Control but following the public announcement thereof, the Issuer shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Repurchase Offer”) stating:

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred (or will occur) and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);

(2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control;

(3) if a Change of Control has been publicly announced but has not occurred at the time such notice is mailed, that the Repurchase Offer is conditioned on the consummation of such Change of Control occurring prior to or concurrent with the repurchase;

(4) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed);

(5) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the purchase price, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer will cease to accrue interest after the repurchase date;

(7) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the repurchase date;

(8) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the repurchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(9) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.15. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.15, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue thereof.

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer;

(2) deposit with the relevant Paying Agent an amount equal to the purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.

The relevant Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $200,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

If, at the time of the Change of Control, any series of the Notes is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and if required by the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, notice will be published in Luxembourg as set forth in Section 3.03 hereof.

The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on or as soon as practicable after the repurchase date. If any series of the Notes is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and if required by the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange notice will be published in Luxembourg as set forth in Section 3.03 hereof.

(d) The Issuer will not be required to make a Repurchase Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Repurchase Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Repurchase Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Repurchase Offer. The Issuer shall not be required to effect more than one Repurchase Offer, including repurchasing all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Repurchase Offer, for each Change of Control.

(1) Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.09; and

(2) create a Lien on such Property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.12;

Section 4.17

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary of the Company (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary of the Company) other than the Issuer to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if:

(A) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total Consolidated assets of £1,000 or less; or

(B) if such Subsidiary has Consolidated assets greater than £1,000, then the Issuer would be permitted to make an Investment under Section 4.07 after giving effect to such designation in the amount specified in the definition of “Investment”;

(4) all of the Indebtedness of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of designation, and will at all times thereafter, consist of Non-Recourse Debt unless the Guarantee or other credit support related to any such Indebtedness could be Incurred by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary under this Indenture;

(5) such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any direct or indirect obligation:

(6) on the date such Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company, the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary with terms substantially less favorable to the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary than those that might have been obtained from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company other than transactions that comply with Section 4.11.

In the event of any such designation, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 4.07.

(b) The Board of Directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if immediately after giving effect to such designation:

Section 4.18

[Intentionally omitted]

Section 4.19

Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer and the Intermediate Guarantors or any other Note Guarantor) to provide a Guarantee after the Closing Date of any Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuer or any Intermediate Guarantor unless:

(1) such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously (or prior thereto) executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Guarantee by it of payments of the Notes on an equal and ratable basis with such Guarantee, provided, however, that any Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of a Subordinated Obligation shall be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the contemporaneous Guarantee of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary;

(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 Subsidiary under its Guarantee; and

(3) such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

(A) such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and

(B) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, administration, moratorium, receivership or similar laws (including all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity;

(b) The provisions of Section 4.19(a) shall not apply to:

(1) Guarantees by a Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness (other than Public Debt that is not Permitted Public Debt issued by the Issuer or any Intermediate Guarantor) permitted to be Incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 4.09;

(2) Guarantees by a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement governing any Bank Indebtedness, the Existing Senior Secured Notes or any additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations permitted to be Incurred pursuant to clauses (a), (b)(1), (b)(4) or (b)(16) of Section 4.09;

(3) Guarantees by a Restricted Subsidiary under any Refinancing Indebtedness described in clause (4) of paragraph (b) of Section 4.09, to the extent such Restricted Subsidiary provided a Guarantee in respect of the Indebtedness being Refinanced; provided that the Guarantee is not senior in right of payment to the Guarantee in respect of the Indebtedness being replaced;

(4) Guarantees by a Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness described in clause (5) of paragraph (b) of Section 4.09, to the extent existing under, or required under the terms of, such Indebtedness; provided that the Guarantee or any requirement to provide such Guarantee was in existence prior to the contemplation of the merger, consolidation or acquisition that resulted in the Incurrence of such Indebtedness (except as provided in clause (b)(1) of this Section 4.19);

(5) any Guarantee or undertaking by any Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the U.K. HM Revenue and Customs in connection with the U.K. tax liability of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any VAT liabilities); and

(6) Guarantees by a Restricted Subsidiary permitted under clause (11) of paragraph (b) of Section 4.09.

Section 4.20

Anti-Layering

The Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors may not Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to other Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors, unless such Indebtedness Incurred by the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors is also subordinated or pari passu to the relevant Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Note Guarantee; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors solely by virtue of being unsecured, by virtue of being secured with different collateral, by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis or by virtue of the application of waterfall or other payment-ordering provisions or if Bank Indebtedness is Incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) or clauses (1), (4) or (16) of paragraph (b) of Section 4.09.

Section 4.21

Further Instruments and Acts

Upon the request of the Trustee, but without the affirmative duty on the Trustee to do so, the Issuer and each Note Guarantor will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture and the Intercreditor Deed.

Section 4.22

Listing

The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to list and maintain the listing of the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or another comparable exchange.

Section 4.23

Calculation of Sterling Denominated Restrictions

Except as provided in Section 4.09(d), for purposes of determining compliance with any sterling-denominated restriction in this Indenture, the Sterling Equivalent amount for purposes hereof that is denominated in a non-sterling currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such non-sterling amount is incurred or made, as the case may be.

Section 4.24

Covenant Suspension

From and after the first day on which (i) the Notes have been assigned an Investment Grade Rating by at least two Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default under this Indenture has occurred and is continuing (the “Suspension Date”): (A) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall cease to be subject to certain sections of this Indenture, including the provisions summarized under: Section 4.09, Section 4.20, Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.19, Section 4.13, Section 4.16, clause (y) of the third paragraph under Section 4.17(b)(2) and Section 5.01(a)(3), and (B) paragraphs (7) and (20) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” shall be amended to read as follows (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the remainder of the definition of “Permitted Liens” shall remain in effect without any amendment thereto):

“(7) Liens to secure Bank Indebtedness, Existing Senior Secured Notes, additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations and Permitted Public Debt (including, in each case, any Refinancing thereof in whole or in part);”

“(20) Liens in connection with any Sale/Leaseback Transaction; and”.

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”)

If at any time following the Suspension Date one or more Rating Agencies downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes to below an Investment Grade Rating with the result that less than two Rating Agencies maintain an Investment Grade Rating with respect to the Notes (such date being the “Reinstatement Date”), then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated and again be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, unless and until the Notes subsequently again attain an Investment Grade Rating by two or more Rating Agencies. The period of time between the Suspension Date and Reinstatement Date shall be referred to as the “Suspension Period”.

No action taken by either the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period with respect to a Suspended Covenant (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any failure to comply with a Suspended Covenant), nor the compliance or performance by the Company or any of its

Restricted Subsidiaries with any contractual obligation entered into during the Suspension Period with respect to a Suspended Covenant will constitute a Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees and will not result in any reduction of any amounts available under any of the baskets as of the Suspension Date that may apply under the Suspended Covenants. The Issuer will give written notice to the Trustee of any covenant suspension pursuant to this section.

ARTICLE 5

SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01

Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.

(a) The Issuer will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

(1) the Issuer is the surviving corporation or the resulting, surviving or transferee Person other than the Issuer (the “Successor Company”) will be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of any country that is a Member State, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness not previously an obligation of the Issuer which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or 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, the Issuer, if it is the surviving corporation, or the Successor Company, would be able to Incur an additional £1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of Section 4.09;

(4) each Note Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transaction above, in which case clause (1) shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Note Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations in respect of this Indenture and the Notes; and

(5) 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 the provisions described in this paragraph; provided, that in giving such opinion, such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with clauses (2) and (3) above and as to any matters of fact.

The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture, and upon such substitution, the predecessor Issuer will be released from its obligations under the Indebtedness of the Notes, but the predecessor Issuer in the case of a conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all its assets will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

Clauses (2) and (3) of this Section 5.01(a) will not apply to any transaction in which (A) any Restricted Subsidiary consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or (B) (i) the Issuer consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all of its

assets to an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of changing the legal domicile of the Issuer, reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction or changing its legal structure to a corporation or other entity or (ii) the Issuer consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a Restricted Subsidiary so long as all assets of the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction (other than Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary) are owned by such Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after the consummation thereof.

(b) The Company and each Note Guarantor will not, and each Note Guarantor and the Issuer will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into, or, except to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless:

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if other than such Note Guarantor (the “Successor Guarantor”) will be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of a country that is a Member State, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such Person (if not such Note Guarantor) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness not previously an obligation of such Note Guarantor which becomes an obligation of the Successor Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(3) the Issuer will 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 such opinion, such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with clause (2) above and as to any matters of fact and that such supplemental indenture is enforceable against the Successor Guarantor subject to certain exceptions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to, any Intermediate Guarantor, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to any Intermediate Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor if following such consolidation, merger or transfer such Intermediate Guarantor or such Subsidiary Guarantor would be prohibited by applicable law from continuing to provide a Note Guarantee or the amount of such Note Guarantee would be required to be limited to a greater extent than immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or transfer.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01

Events of Default.

(a) Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) a default in any payment of interest on, or Additional Amounts with respect to, any Note when due and payable continued for 30 days;

(2) a default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise;

(3) the failure to comply with obligations under Article 5;

(4) the failure to comply for 30 days after notice with any obligations under Section 3.09 or Section 4.10 (in each case, other than a failure to purchase Notes, which will constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(2));

(5) the failure to comply for 60 days after notice with any other agreement contained in the Notes or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Company shall have 90 days after receipt of such notice to remedy, or receive a waiver for, any failure to comply with its obligations to file its annual, quarterly and current reports in accordance with Section 4.03 or to comply with Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act so long as the Company is attempting to cure such failure as promptly as reasonably practicable;

(6) the failure by the Company, the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary or any other Virgin Media Holding Company to pay any Indebtedness within any applicable grace period after final maturity, or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, if, in each case, the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds £50 million or its equivalent in another currency;

(7) (A) a proceeding is commenced seeking a decree or order for (i) relief in respect of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, (ii) appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, examiner, administrator, sequestration or similar official of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or (iii) the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary (other than, except in the case of the Issuer, a solvent winding up or liquidation in connection with a transfer of assets among Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries) and, in each case, such proceeding shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 30 consecutive days; or (B) other than, except in the case of the Issuer, in relation to a solvent winding up or liquidation in connection with a transfer of assets among Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary (i) commences a voluntary case (including taking any action for the purpose of winding up) under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, examiner, administrator, sequestration or similar official of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(8) the rendering of any judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of £50 million or its equivalent in another currency against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary if such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of 60 days following such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived or stayed before the end of such period; or

(9) any Note Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Note Guarantor or Person acting by or on behalf of such Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing such Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture

or any Note Guarantee (other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or such Note Guarantee or the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with such Note Guarantee or this Indenture).

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. For purposes of clause (a)(7)(A) of this Section 6.01, no proceeding will be deemed commenced until the Issuer, Note Guarantors or Significant Subsidiaries have been able to contest such proceeding.

(b) A default under clause (4) or (5) of Section 6.01(a) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the default and the Company, the Issuer, the relevant Virgin Media Holding Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, does not cure such default within the time specified in clause (4) or (5) of Section 6.01(a) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a notice of Default. When a Default or an Event of Default is cured within the time specified, it ceases. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (a)(5) of this Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (a)(5) of this Section 6.01 shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (A) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (B) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

(c) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Section 6.02

Acceleration.

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Deed and the provisions of Section 6.01(b), if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under the bankruptcy provisions described in clause (7) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing and a responsible officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default under the bankruptcy provisions described in clause (7) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary occurs, the unpaid principal of and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Notwithstanding the above, if the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option under Article 8 hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated pursuant to this Section 6.02 because of the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clauses (4), (6), (7) or (8) of Section 6.01(a) or non-compliance with clause (a)(3) of Section 5.01.

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 rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest, Special Interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03

Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. Following such Event of Default, the Trustee is entitled to require all Agents to act under its direction.

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 of a Note 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 remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04

Waiver of Past Defaults.

Subject to Section 6.07 and Section 9.02 hereof, the Trustee, upon receipt of written notice from the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or the premium on, or the principal of the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05

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. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that the Trustee determines (after consultation with counsel) conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Intercreditor Deed or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense, provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with any such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee is entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06

Limitation on Suits.

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have provided the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such written request within 60 days after the receipt of such request and the security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and

(5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.07

Section 6.08

Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09

Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to 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 properly incurred compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, any other obligor upon the Notes, their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such 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 to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained 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, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11

Undertaking for Costs.

Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of 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.

(4) no provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity and/or security against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, it being understood that the Trustee shall not be required to advance its own funds in connection with its duties and responsibilities as Trustee.

The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(f) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Intercreditor Deed at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, direction, order, approval, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document but the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(l) The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions enumerated in this Indenture or the Intercreditor Deed will not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so and the Trustee will not be answerable other than for its own negligence or willful default.

(m) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel, as applicable).

(n) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and will be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Section 7.03

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 or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act) it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04

Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee and it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05

Notice of Defaults.

If a Default (or an Event of Default) occurs and is continuing and a responsible officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default (or Event of Default), the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a notice of the Default (or the Event of Default) within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the redemption provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the best interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06

Reports by Trustee to Holders.

(a) Within 60 days after each February 15 beginning with the February 15 following the Closing Date, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders will be mailed by the Trustee to the Issuer and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

Section 7.07

Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer and each Note Guarantor, jointly and severally, will pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder and thereunder as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and each Note Guarantor, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable

disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements, expenses and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.

(b) The Issuer and each Note Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents and hold it harmless, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonably incurred attorney’s and agent’s fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and its duties under this Indenture or under the Intercreditor Deed, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or each Note Guarantor of its obligations hereunder. At the Trustee’s sole discretion, the Issuer will defend the claim and the Trustee will provide reasonable cooperation and may participate at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Alternatively, the Trustee may at its option have separate counsel of its own choosing and the Issuer will pay, and each Note Guarantor shall guarantee the payment of, the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of such counsel and agents; provided that the Issuer will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is, in the opinion of the Trustee, no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee in connection with such defense and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c) The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 and any Lien arising hereunder will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations pursuant to Article 10 or the termination of this Indenture.

(d) To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a first priority Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(7) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08

Replacement of Trustee.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

(b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s and each Note Guarantor’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09

Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10

Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by U.S. federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 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 requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

Section 7.11

Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE 8

Section 8.01

Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02

Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes, and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(b) the Issuer’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 security payments held in trust set forth in Article 2 hereof;

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(d) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03

Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 (including Section 3.09), 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22 and Section 5.01(a)(3) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set

forth in Section 8.04 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 (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(a) (4), (6), (7) (as it relates to Significant Subsidiaries and Note Guarantors) and (8) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04

(f) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes being defeased over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer or others;

(g) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

(h) the Issuer provides the Trustee all other documents or other information that the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the defeasance.

Section 8.05

Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 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 Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any 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 extent required by law.

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any Taxes imposed or levied on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such Taxes which by law are for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 8.05 shall survive the resignation or renewal of the Trustee and/or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 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 U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor, expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), 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 8.06

Repayment to Issuer.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, 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 unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request 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 the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York Times and the Financial Times, 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 8.07

Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 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 obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 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 held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01

Without Consent of Holders.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Deed, the Parent, the Intermediate Guarantors, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder to:

(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provided that such amendment does not, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect;

(2) provide for the assumption by a successor corporation in accordance with this Indenture of the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes;

(3) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

(4) add additional Guarantees with respect to the Notes or release Subsidiary Guarantors from Subsidiary Guarantees as provided by the terms of this Indenture and the Intercreditor Deed;

(5) add to the covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries;

(6) make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any respect, subject to the provisions of this Indenture;

(7) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes;

(8) mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in any Property for the benefit of any Person; provided, however, that the granting of such security interest is not prohibited by this Indenture and Section 4.12 is complied with;

(9) comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; and

(10) provide for a reduction in the minimum denominations of the Notes.

(b) An amendment under this Section 9.01 may not make any change to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that materially and adversely affects the rights under Article 12 hereof or under the Intercreditor Deed of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or any group or Representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change.

(c) After an amendment becomes effective, the Issuer is required to mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. In addition, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer will inform such exchange of any amendment, supplement or waiver and will publish notice of such amendment, supplement or waiver in Luxembourg in a daily newspaper with general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (xxx.xxxxxx.xx).

(d) Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02

With Consent of Holders.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Parent, the Intermediate Guarantors, the Issuer, the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes) and, subject to this Indenture and the Notes, 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 with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes); provided, however, that if any amendment, waiver or other modification would only affect the Notes, only the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes shall be required. Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

An amendment under Section 9.02 may not make any change that adversely affects the rights under Article 12 hereof or under the Intercreditor Deed of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or any group or Representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change under the terms of that Senior Indebtedness.

Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties 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.

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

(b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(d) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof;

(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;

(f) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(g) make any change in the amendment provisions which require each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions described in this sentence; or

(h) modify the Note Guarantees in any manner materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent of at least seventy-five per cent (75%) in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, an amendment or supplement may release any Note Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Section 9.03

Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04

Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05

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 Authentication 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 9.06

Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is enforceable against the Issuer and each Note Guarantor subject to customary exceptions.

ARTICLE 10

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 10.01

Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes and Note Guarantees issued hereunder, when:

(a) either:

(1) all the Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and applicable Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer in accordance with this Indenture, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(2) all the Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer 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 or U.S. Government Obligations in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the applicable Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound;

(d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the applicable Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 10.02 and Section 8.06 will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 10.02

Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 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 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 securities in accordance with Section 10.01 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 Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, 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 Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTEES

Section 11.01

Guarantees.

(a) Each Note Guarantor hereby jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (1) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, or interest, premium, if any, on, the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes and (2) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Note Guarantor, and that each such Note Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. Each Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee will be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. The other Note Guarantees will be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

(b) Each Note 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 Note Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand 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; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Note Guarantor, except as provided in Sections 11.02(b) and (c).

(c) Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Note Guarantors, such that such Note Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuer’s or such Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Note Guarantor hereunder. Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuer be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Note Guarantor.

(d) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) The Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantees of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors are, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article 12 and the Intercreditor Deed, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors and is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture.

(f) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.02, 11.02 and 11.06, Article 12 and the Intercreditor Deed, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, 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, the obligations of each Note Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by 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 Note Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(g) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.02, 11.02 and 11.06, Article 12 and the Intercreditor Deed, each Note Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its 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 or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

(h) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Note Guarantor, subject in the case of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors to the terms of Article 12 and the Intercreditor Deed, hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (1) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (3) all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the Holders and the Trustee.

(i) Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and all obligations to which the Guaranteed Obligations are subordinated as provided in Article 12 and the Intercreditor Deed. Each Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration

in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of Section 11.01.

(j) Each Note Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under Section 11.01.

(k) Upon request of the Trustee, each Note Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 11.02

Limitation on Liability.

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Note Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by the applicable Note Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Note Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to ultra xxxxx, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, corporate benefit or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(b) Each of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantees of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under Article 11,

(1) concurrently with any sale by way of enforcement by the relevant Security Trustee (as defined in the Intercreditor Deed) of a security interest therein of (x) all of the Capital Stock of such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor or any parent company of such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor or (y) all or substantially all of the assets of such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case so long as:

(B) such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its obligations in respect of any other Indebtedness of Holdings, the Issuer and any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that nothing in the Intercreditor Deed shall require the release by such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of any of their obligations in respect of the Senior Liabilities or the High Yield Trustee Direct Claims; and

(C) the sale is made pursuant to either a public auction or a competitive bid process to obtain the best price reasonably obtainable given the then-current condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business, assets and prospects of such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, the Security Trustee having consulted with an internationally recognized investment bank (including without limitation and to the extent appropriate a Senior Lender or a relationship bank of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries) or an internationally recognized accounting firm regarding the appropriate procedures for obtaining the best price for the shares or assets, considered the recommendations of that investment bank or accounting firm and used its reasonable

efforts to cause the procedures recommended by that investment bank or accounting firm to be implemented in all material respects in relation to the sale and to permit Holders to participate in the sale process as bidders; provided, however, that the Security Trustee shall not be under any further obligation to cause such recommendations to be implemented to the extent not implemented in connection with such sale by the relevant court, authority or other third party required to act in connection with such sale; provided, further, that such reasonable efforts will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, include attempting to conduct such sale process other than through a court or legal proceeding.

(2) concurrently with any sale by an administrator under the U.K. Insolvency Xxx 0000 of (x) all of the Capital Stock of such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor or any parent company of such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor or (y) all or substantially all of the assets of such Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case so long as:

In addition, any Additional Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and be of no further force or effect at any time the relevant Additional Subsidiary Guarantor is fully and unconditionally released (other than as a result of payment thereof) from all the obligations that resulted in such Additional Subsidiary Guarantor being required to provide an Additional Subsidiary Guarantee under Section 4.19.

Section 11.03

Successors and Assigns.

This Article 11 shall be binding upon each Note Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 11.04

No Waiver.

Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 11 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

ARTICLE 12

SUBORDINATION OF THE SENIOR SUBORDINATED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 12.01

Agreement To Subordinate.

The Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors agree, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the obligations of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Intercreditor Deed and to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to and accepted the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Deed. A copy of such Intercreditor Deed shall be available on any Business Day upon prior written request at the offices of the Trustee and, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, at the offices of the Paying Agent in Luxembourg. The obligations hereunder with respect to the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors and shall rank senior to all existing and future Subordinated Obligations of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors; and only Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors that is Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors, including any obligations owed by the Senior Subordinated Guarantors in Respect of Bank Indebtedness and the Existing Senior Secured Notes, shall rank senior to the obligations of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

Section 12.02

Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Deed, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives notice in writing reasonably satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this Article 12 or the Intercreditor Deed.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and co-registrar and any Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 and the Intercreditor Deed with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 or any other Section of this Indenture.

Section 12.03

Trustee Entitled To Rely.

Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12 or the Intercreditor Deed, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings relating to the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors and their properties is pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors and other Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12 or the Intercreditor Deed. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12 or the Intercreditor Deed, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12 or the Intercreditor Deed, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 12 or the Intercreditor Deed.

Section 12.04

Trustee To Effectuate Subordination.

Each Holder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors, including by entering into, and as provided for in, the Intercreditor Deed and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 12.05

Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors on Subordination Provisions.

Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Deed are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantors, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.
