If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any of their agents and any authenticating agent from any loss, expense, claim or liability that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note including fees and expenses of its counsel and of the Trustee and its counsel.

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company 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 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

-48-

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.

If the principal amount 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 (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

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 Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

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

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. Certification of the disposal of all cancelled

-49-

Notes shall be delivered to the Company upon its request therefor. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest 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 Company shall notify the Trustee in writing in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the register maintained by the Registrar that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13 ISIN and Common Code Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use ISIN and/or Common Code numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee and the Agents shall use ISIN and/or Common Code numbers, as they deem appropriate, in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee and the Agents of any changes in any ISIN and/or Common Code numbers.

Section 2.14 Common Depositary.

None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Agent or any of their agents shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or

-50-

payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Note in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, and the Agents and their agents shall be entitled to deal with any Common Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the Holder of any such global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such global Note (including the payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest, the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such global Security) as the sole Holder of such global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Agent or any of their agents shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of any such Common Depositary or any Clearing System with respect to such global Note, for the records of any such Common Depositary or Clearing System, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such global Note, for any transactions between such Common Depositary or Clearing System and any participant in such Clearing System or between or among any such Clearing System, any such participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such global Note or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such global Note.

Notices of redemption may be subject to one or more conditions specified in the notice of redemption. If such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was sent), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed. The Company shall provide written notice (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) of the delay of such date of redemption or the rescission of such notice of redemption to the Trustee and the Holders no later than the date of redemption.

In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07Restricted Payments.

(a)The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(i)declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than (A) dividends or distributions accrued or payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Interests) of the Company or (B) dividends or distributions to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);

(ii)purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company (other than any such Equity Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);

(iii)make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee (other than Indebtedness permitted under clause (vi) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”) except (a) a payment of interest or principal at Stated Maturity or (b) the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of any such Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity,

-61-

in each case, due within one year of the date of such purchase, repurchase or other acquisition; or

(iv)make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

(B) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); and

(C) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i) (provided that at the time of declaring such dividend, such dividend was counted as a Restricted Payment) (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xv) of Section 4.07(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of

(1) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from April 4, 2021 to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus

(2) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds, including the fair market value of any property or Capital Interests, received by the Company since the Issue Date as a contribution to its equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Interests) or from the issue or sale of Disqualified Interests or debt securities of the Company that have been converted into such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Interests or convertible debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company), together with the aggregate cash and Cash Equivalents received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of such conversion or exchange plus the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced upon the conversion or exchange subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness or Disqualified Interests which are convertible into or

-62-

exchangeable for Qualified Capital Interests of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, plus

(3) 100% of the amount received, including the fair market value of any property received after the Issue Date by means of (A) the sale or other disposition (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of Restricted Investments made by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries and repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries and repayments of loans or advances which constitute Restricted Investments of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or (B) the sale (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the Capital Interests of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than in each case to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted Investment) or a dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, plus

(4) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or the merger or consolidation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or the transfer of assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, the fair market value of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted Investment), plus

(5) $860.0 million.

The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments, in the Company’s discretion, at the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments, as applicable. All such outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation. Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

(b)Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit:

(i)the payment of any dividend or other distribution or redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration or call for redemption thereof, if at said date of declaration or call for redemption such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

-63-

(ii)the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than any Disqualified Interests) or from a contribution of capital to the Company; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from Section 4.07(a)(C)(2);

(xi)any payments made in connection with the consummation of the transactions on substantially the terms described in the Offering Memorandum;

(xii)the payment of intercompany subordinated debt, the incurrence of which was permitted under Section 4.09(b)(vi);

(xiii)the purchase of fractional shares by the Company upon conversion of any securities of the Company into Capital Interests of the Company;

(xv)payment of dividends on Disqualified Interests of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, the issuance of which is permitted by this Indenture.

(c)The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined by an officer of the Company. In the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in (i) through (xv) above or is entitled to be made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company may, in its sole discretion, classify, and may later reclassify from time to time, such Restricted Payment or any portion thereof into or among any of such applicable provisions.

Section 4.08Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

Section 4.09Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(a)The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt); provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness if, in each case, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 2.00 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom but without giving pro forma effect to any Indebtedness incurred on such date of determination pursuant to the following paragraph), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(b)The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof shall not apply to the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(i)the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and letters of credit (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate amount incurred under this Section 4.09(b)(i) not to exceed the greater of (x) $1,100.0 million or (y) 30% of Consolidated Total Assets;

(vi)the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof and (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi);

(vii)the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk or commodity price risk or currency exchange rate risk, and in any such case, not for speculative purposes;

(ix)Indebtedness consisting of Permitted Investments of the kind described in clauses (f) and (k) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

(x)Indebtedness (a) consisting of indemnification obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (b) arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence;

(xi)the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all outstanding Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xi), not to exceed $175.0 million;

(xvi)Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the proceeds of such Indebtedness are deposited and used to defease the Notes or discharge the Notes and this Indenture, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 11 of this Indenture;

(xvii)Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of the financing of insurance premiums in the ordinary course of business; and

(xviii)Indebtedness of a Person incurred and outstanding on or prior to the date on which such Person was acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or consolidated or merged with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that such Indebtedness is not incurred in connection with or in contemplation of, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, such acquisition or merger; and provided, further, that after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence of Indebtedness and such acquisition, consolidation or merger (A) the Company would have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be greater than such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition.

(c)For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xviii) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to divide and classify such item of Indebtedness, (or any portion thereof) on the date of incurrence, and at any time and from time to time may later reclassify all or any portion of any item of Indebtedness as having been incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or under

-70-

any category of Permitted Debt described in clause (i) through (xviii) above so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of reclassification. Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Interests in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Interests for purposes of this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Interests for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.

(d)Any increase in the United States dollar equivalent of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than United States dollars resulting from fluctuations in the exchange values of currencies will not be considered to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a non-U.S. currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

Section 4.10Asset Sales.

(a)The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i)the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (or, in the event of Asset Sales for consideration of less than $50.0 million, by an officer of the Company)) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale); and

(ii)at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the Issue Date on a cumulative basis is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents, assets or Capital Interests described under Sections 4.10(b)(ii) or 4.10(b)(iii) or a combination thereof; provided that the amount of: (x) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the

-71-

Company and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing, (y) securities or other obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and (z) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.10(a)(ii) since the Issue Date and not yet converted to cash or Cash Equivalents, not to exceed 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, shall each be deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

(b)Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply such Net Proceeds:

(i)to repay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantees);

(ii)to acquire a majority of the assets of, or a majority of the voting Capital Interests of, another Person (or division or business unit thereof); and/or

(iii)to make capital expenditures or to acquire other tangible long-term assets;

provided that, prior to the application of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale in accordance with this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled, within 180 days from the date of the Asset Sale, to apply such Net Proceeds towards the redemption of Equity Interests of the Company in an amount not to exceed the limitation set forth in Section 4.07(b)(ix).

Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c)Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company shall be required to make an offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 and such other Indebtedness. To the extent that any

-72-

Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other pari passu Indebtedness described above tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the respective aggregate amount of the Notes and such other Indebtedness to be purchased shall be determined on a pro rata basis, and the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in such aggregate amount on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(d)The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.11Transactions with Affiliates.

(a)The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) having a value in excess of $1.0 million, unless

(i)such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(ii)the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above and that such Affiliate Transaction has either been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors or has been approved in an opinion issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing as being fair to the Holders from a financial point of view.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions:

(i)any employment agreement or arrangements, consulting, non-competition, confidentiality, indemnity or similar agreement, incentive compensation plan, benefit

-73-

arrangements or plan, severance or expense reimbursement arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

(a)The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness on any of their respective assets now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, except Permitted Liens, unless contemporaneously therewith:

(i)in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a Note Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such obligation with a Lien on the same collateral; and

(ii)in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation,

in each case, for so long as such Indebtedness is secured by such Lien (such Lien, a “Primary Lien”).

(b)Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.12(a) shall automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Primary Lien, without any further action on the part of any Person.

(a)Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to €1,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof; provided that no Note of less than €100,000 shall be purchased in part) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase

-75-

(the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will:

(i)mail a notice to each Holder stating:

(A)that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and, to the extent lawful, that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Company;

(B)the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(C)that any Note not properly tendered or accepted for payment will remain outstanding and shall continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms hereof;

(D)that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(E)that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, or transfer by book entry transfer, to the Company, the tender agent for such Change of Control Offer (if appointed by the Company) or a Paying Agent prior to the close of business at least three Business Days preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(F)that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Company to purchase such Notes; provided that the Company, the tender agent for the Change of Control Offer or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the close of business on the date preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(G)that if the Company is redeeming less than all of the Notes, the Holders of the remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered to the extent that the unpurchased portion of the Notes is equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof; and

-76-

(H)the other instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow; and

(ii)if at the time of such notice the Notes are listed on The Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin and the rules of The Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin so require, cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be published in The Irish Times (or another leading newspaper of general circulation in Ireland).

The notice, if mailed and published, as applicable, in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (x) the notice is mailed and published, as applicable, in a manner herein provided and (y) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect.

(b)Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Section 4.14, but in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control Triggering Event, to the extent required to permit the Company to comply with this Section 4.14, the Company shall either repay all outstanding Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other Indebtedness ranking senior to or pari passu with the Notes or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing such outstanding Indebtedness.

(c)The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder or under the laws of Ireland to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.14, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of such compliance.

(d)On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Principal Paying Agent or, if applicable, tender agent for the Change of Control Offer an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Principal Paying Agent or, if applicable, tender agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment 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; to the extent that each such new Note is in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. If at the time of any such

-77-

Change of Control Triggering Event, the Notes are listed on The Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin or any other securities exchange, to the extent required by The Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin or such other securities exchange, the Company will notify The Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin or such other securities exchange, as applicable, that a Change of Control has occurred and any relevant details relating to such Change of Control.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 4.14, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described above under Section 3.07 in respect of all Notes then outstanding unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (3) if, in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control Triggering Event, it or a third party has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer.

(f)If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any other Person making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase).

(g)A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

(h)Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be retired and cancelled.

Section 4.15Limitation on Senior Subordinated Debt.

The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate in right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Company unless it is pari passu or subordinate in

-78-

right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate in right of payment to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor unless it is pari passu or subordinate in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, solely by reason of any Liens or guarantees arising or created in respect of such other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

Section 4.16Discharge and Suspension of Covenants.

(a)During any period of time that: (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), then Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 5.01(a)(iv) (the “Suspended Covenants”) shall not be applicable to the Notes.

(b)In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing (such period, a “Suspension Period”), and on any subsequent date one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating (a “Reversion Date”), then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events; it being understood that no actions taken by (or omissions of) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period shall constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Suspended Covenants. After the time of reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants upon such withdrawal or downgrade, calculations with respect to Restricted Payments shall be made in accordance with the terms under Section 4.07 as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date.

(c)(i) Indebtedness incurred while the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) and (ii) Restricted Payments made while the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants will be deemed to have been made pursuant to the sum of clauses (C)(1) through (5) under Section 4.07(a).

(d)The Company shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee specifying (i) if a Covenant Suspension Event has occurred, (ii) if a Reversion Date has occurred and (iii) the dates of commencement or ending of any Suspension Period. The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor whether or not a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date has occurred or if a Suspension Period has commenced or ended, nor any duty to notify the Holders of any of the foregoing.

-79-

(e)During any period that the covenants have been suspended pursuant to Section 4.16(a), the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Section 4.17Subsidiary Guarantees.

If any of the Company's Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries shall guarantee Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement, then such Subsidiary shall, within 20 Business Days, become a Guarantor and execute a supplement to this Indenture for the purpose of providing a Note Guarantee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel, in accordance with the provisions of Article 10. Any such Note Guarantee shall be subject to the release provisions and other limitations described in Article 10.

(i)default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes;

(ii)default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes (whether or not the payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of this Indenture);

(iii)a default by the Company or any Guarantor in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture which default continues for a period of 60 days (or 120 days in the case of Section 4.03) after the Company or such Guarantor receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

(iv)the failure to pay at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more at any time and such failure shall not have been cured or waived or such Indebtedness paid or discharged, in each case within 30 days thereof;

(v)failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments (to the extent such judgments are not paid or covered by an insurance carrier or pursuant to which the Company is not indemnified by a third party who has agreed to honor such obligation) aggregating in excess of $50.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgments have become final and non-appealable;

(vi)the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(1) commences a voluntary case,

-82-

(2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(3) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

(4) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or

(vii)a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(1) is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case,

(2) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary, or

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may notify the Company in writing, specifying the Event of Default, demanding that the Default be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” following which such Holders may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration pursuant to a Notice of Default, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice; provided, however, that in the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.01(a)(iv) has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the failure to pay or acceleration triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iv) shall be remedied or cured or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 6.01(a)(vi) or (vii), with respect to the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of

-83-

Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. If any Designated Senior Debt is outstanding at the time of a declaration of acceleration, the Company may only pay amounts due on the Notes if otherwise permitted by Article 13. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy 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.

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. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of acceleration with respect to an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration). 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.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising 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 conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee has not received adequate prefunding, security or indemnity satisfactory to it.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

-84-

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

(2) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee pre-funding, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of pre-funding, security or indemnity; and

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

A Holder of a Note 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 of a Note.

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be amended or waived without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agents, their agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

-85-

Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12 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 compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Agents and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and 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 and the Agents any amount due to them for compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agents, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Agents under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agents, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Agents 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 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.

-86-

Section 6.13 Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

(i)to the Trustee, the Agents, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Agents and the costs and expenses of collection;

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01Duties of Trustee.

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

-87-

(b)Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Trustee has actual knowledge:

(i)the duties of the Trustee and the Agents shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee and the Agents need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee and the Agents; and

(ii)in the absence of bad faith on its part, each of the Trustee and the Agents may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Agents, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Agents, the Trustee or the Agents, as applicable, shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c)The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b), Section 7.02 and Section 7.07;

(ii)none of the Trustee or any Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)none of the Trustee or any Agent shall be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Article 6 hereof.

(d)Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.

(e)None of the Trustee or any Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes unless such Holders have provided to the Trustee pre-funding, indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

(f)None of the Trustee or any Agent shall be liable for interest on any money received by it except as may be agreed in writing with the Company. Money held by the Trustee

-88-

or held by any Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 7.02Rights of Trustee.

(a)The Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected from acting or refraining from acting, upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(b)Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may, at the Company’s expense, consult with counsel or professional advisors of its selection and the advice of such counsel or professional advisor or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c)The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent (other than an agent who is an employee of the Trustee) or attorney appointed with due care.

(d)The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee's conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(e)Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

(f)None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request or direction of any Holders, unless such Holders have provided to the Trustee prefunding, security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g)The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the covenants of the Company or any Guarantor or Subsidiary. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default or any other matter unless a Responsible Officer

-89-

of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice clearly references the Notes and this Indenture. The delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.03(b) is for information purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of the foregoing will not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s and any Guarantor’s or Subsidiary’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates and/or Opinions of Counsel).

(h)In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit) of the Company, any Holder or any other Person irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(i)Whether or not specifically referred to in any provision herein, the rights, privileges, indemnities, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent (including the Agents), custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. Each of the Agents’ obligations and duties are several and not joint.

(j)The Trustee may request that the Company or any Guarantor deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(k)The Trustee shall not be required to give any note, bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts and powers under this Indenture.

(l)The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; nuclear or natural catastrophes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; strikes; work stoppages; accidents; riots and other civil disturbances; interruptions; loss or malfunction of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authorities and governmental action.

(m)The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or liable for compliance, with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to

-90-

any transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of any interest in any Notes.

(n)In the event the Trustee receives conflicting, unclear or equivocal instructions or indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, will be taken and shall not incur any liability for its failure to act until such inconsistency or conflict is, in its reasonable opinion, resolved.

(o)The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so.

(p)The Trustee will not be liable to any person if prevented or delayed in performing any of its obligations or discretionary functions by reason of any present or future law applicable to it, by any governmental or regulatory authority or by any circumstances beyond its control.

(q)No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to do anything which, in its opinion, may be illegal or contrary to applicable law or regulation.

(r)The Trustee may assume without inquiry in the absence of actual knowledge that the Company is duly complying with its obligations contained in this Indenture required to be performed and observed by it, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event which would require repayment of the Notes has occurred.

(s)If any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred.

(t)To the extent that the Trustee is granted any discretion herein to act or not act, the Trustee shall have absolute and uncontrolled discretion as to the exercise of its rights and discretions, the exercise or non-exercise of which as between the Trustee and the Holders shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders, subject to Section 7.01 hereof.

Section 7.03Individual 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 Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee under this Indenture, including its right to be indemnified and/or

-91-

secured (including by way of prefunding), are extended to, and shall be enforceable by each Agent employed to act hereunder.

Section 7.04Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, sufficiency, effectiveness, correctness or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall 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 7.05Notice of Defaults.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06[Reserved].

Section 7.07Compensation and Indemnity.

(a)The Company or, upon the failure of the Company to pay, each Guarantor, jointly and severally shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents promptly upon request for all disbursements, advances and expenses properly incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel and counsel appointed by the Trustee in connection with any action or contemplated action in connection with this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee.

(b)The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee, Agents and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold the Trustee, Agents and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any

-92-

claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee and each Agent shall notify the Company in writing promptly of any claim of which it has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee and Agents to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. Except where the interests of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Trustee or the Agents, on the other, may be adverse, the Company or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee and Agents will cooperate in the defense of such claim and may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not (x) pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (y) reimburse any expense or indemnify against any of the foregoing loss, liability, damage, claim or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(c)The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee and any Agents.

(d)To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a 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 shall 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)(vi) or (vii) 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 Company and the Guarantors will pay and indemnify the Trustee, the Common Depositary and/or its nominee and the Agents for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary taxes,or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) which are levied by any jurisdiction or authority on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Notes, this Indenture, any Note Guarantee or any other document or instrument referred to therein, the enforcement thereof or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto.

Section 7.08Replacement of Trustee.

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

(b)The Trustee may, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Company, resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the

(d)If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, (i) the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense), the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or (ii) the retiring Trustee may appoint a successor Trustee at any time prior to the date on which a successor Trustee takes office, provided that such appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(e)A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee and execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring 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 Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.9Successor 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 shall be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Article 7 hereof.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to refrain from making any payment or taking any other action if it has received conflicting, unclear or equivocal instructions and shall suffer no liability for doing so. The Paying Agent shall be entitled to make payments net of taxes or other sums required by any law to be withheld or deducted.

Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Company, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Company is unable to replace the resigning Agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, deliver any funds then held hereunder in its possession to the Trustee, or to a reputable financial institution of good standing appointed by the Agent as successor Agent, which the Company shall approve, or may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent or for other appropriate relief.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

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

(i)the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.05 hereof;

(ii)the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes

-96-

and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

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

(iv)this Section 8.02.

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

Section 8.03Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03-4.05, 4.07-4.15 and 4.17 hereof and Section 5.01(a)(iv) and (b) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’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)(iii), 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries), 6.01(a)(vii) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries) and 6.01(a)(viii) shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03:

(i)the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or another entity designated for such purpose, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in Euros, noncallable Euro-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such

-97-

amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent investment bank, appraisal firms or public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(ii)in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(iii)in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(iv)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

(v)such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement;

(vi)the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

(vii)the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

-98-

Section 8.05Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all Euros and Euro-denominated Government Securities (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 shall be held and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Euros or Euro-denominated Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any Euros or Euro-denominated Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04 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 8.06Repayment to Company.

The Trustee shall promptly, and in any event, no later than three Business Days, pay to the Company after request therefor, any excess Euros or Euro-denominated Government Securities held with respect to the Notes at such time in excess of amounts required to pay any of the Company’s Obligations then owing with respect to the Notes. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Section 8.07Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Euros or Euro-denominated Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by

-99-

reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall 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 that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(a)Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company, any Guarantor (with respect to a Note Guarantee or this Indenture) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees:

(i)to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(ii)to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(iii)to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

(iv)to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder;

(v)to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” contained in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate;

(vi)to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as in effect on the date hereof;

(vii)to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee;

(viii)to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depository;

-100-

(ix)to add a co-issuer or co-obligor of the Notes; or

(x)to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

(b)Upon the request of the Company, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors 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 shall 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 9.02With Consent of Holders of Notes.

(a)Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, any Guarantor (with respect to its Note Guarantee) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or 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 Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02.

(b)Upon the request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors 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 shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

(c)It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, consent, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

(d)After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall (or cause the Trustee, at the expense of and at the request of the Company, to) mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

-101-

(e)Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a nonconsenting Holder):

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

(ii)reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 or provisions relating to minimum notices required for redemption of Notes described in Section 3.07);

(iii)reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(iv)waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

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

(vi)make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;

(vii)make any change in the subordination provisions of this Indenture that would adversely affect the Holders of Notes;

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

(ix)make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

(f)No amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that would adversely affect the rights of any holder of Designated Senior Debt then outstanding unless the holders of such Designated Senior Debt (or a representative thereof authorized to give consent) consents to such amendment.

Section 9.03[Reserved].

Section 9.04Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of

-102-

a Note or portion of a Note 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 of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note 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 9.05Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company 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 shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and complies with the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01Note Guarantee.

(a)Subject to this Article 10 and Article 13, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, interest, premium on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or

-103-

otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b)The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c)Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

(d)If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(e)Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees.

(f)Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be

-104-

reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(g)In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(h)The Note Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior subordinated obligation of such Guarantor and shall be (x) subordinated in right of payment to the prior repayment in full in cash of all existing and future Senior Debt of such Guarantor, if any, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.02 and Article 13 hereof and (y) pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including such Guarantor’s guarantee of the Company’s Existing Subordinated Notes.

(i)Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 10.02Subordination of Guarantor Payments.

Each Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee are subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment of all Senior Debt of the Guarantor on the same basis as the Obligations on, or relating to the Notes, are subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment of all Senior Debt of the Company pursuant to Article 13. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees, and each of the Trustee and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the subordination and related provisions applicable to the Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee by virtue of the preceding sentence shall be as set forth in Article 13 as if each reference to “Company” therein were instead a reference to “a Guarantor,” each reference to “Senior Debt of the Company” therein were instead a reference to “Senior Debt of each Guarantor” and each reference to “Notes” therein were instead a reference to “this Note Guarantee,” with such appropriate modifications as the context may require. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, including Article 13 hereof.

Section 10.03Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent

-105-

Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to such contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 10.04Execution and Delivery.

(a)To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor as of the Issue Date hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit D shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by one of its Officers.

(b)Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.

(c)If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

(d)The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

(e)If required by Section 4.17 hereof, the Company shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.17 hereof and this Article 10.

Section 10.05Subrogation.

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of

-106-

subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

Section 10.06Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 10.07Release of Note Guarantees.

(a)A Note Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee or any Holder is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee:

(i)if all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such transaction does not violate, to the extent applicable, Section 4.10; or

(ii)if the Company designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.07; or

(iii)if the Company consummates a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary; or

(iv)if such Guarantor no longer guarantees Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or

(v)if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option pursuant to Article 8.

(b)At the request and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably requested evidencing such release.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01Satisfaction and Discharge.

(a)This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for herein) as to all outstanding Notes, when:

-107-

(i)either:

(A)all the Notes theretofore authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B)all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee or another entity designated for such purpose funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (including principal of, premium, if any, and interest), together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(ii)the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Company; and

(iii)the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

(b)Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Section 11.01(a)(i), the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 11.02Application of Money.

(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee or other entity pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee or other entity; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(b)If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Euros or Euro-denominated Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority

-108-

enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the Euros or Euro-denominated Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 12.18Judgment Currency.

Any payment on account of an amount that is payable in Euros (the “Required Currency”), which is made to or for the account of any holder of the Notes or the Trustee in lawful currency of any other jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”), whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the liquidation of the Company or a Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the Company or the Guarantor’s obligation under this Indenture and the Notes or Guarantee, as the case may be, only to the extent of the amount of the Required Currency with such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, could purchase in the London foreign exchange markets with the amount of the Judgment Currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the first Business Day following receipt of the payment in the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Required Currency that could be so purchased is less than the amount of the Required Currency originally due to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, from and against all loss or damage arising out of, or as a result of, such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Indenture or the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder or the Trustee from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.

ARTICLE 13

SUBORDINATION OF NOTES

Section 13.01Agreement to Subordinate.

The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note or a Note Guarantee thereof agrees, that payment of principal, premium and interest on (or any other Obligations

-114-

relating to) the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 13, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt.

Section 13.02Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

The holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Obligations due in respect of Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt, whether or not such interest is allowed in such proceeding) before the Holders of Notes will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior Securities and payments made from either of the trusts, if any, described under Article 8 and Article 11 hereof), in the event of any distribution to creditors of the Company or any of the Guarantors:

(a) in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any of the Guarantors;

(b) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor or their respective property;

(d) in any marshaling of the Company’s or any of the Guarantors’ assets and liabilities.

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of any event described in clauses (a) through (d) above.

Section 13.03Default on Designated Senior Debt.

(a)Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors may make any payment in respect of the Notes (except in respect of Permitted Junior Securities or from the trusts described under Article 8 and Article 11 hereof) if:

(i)a payment default on any Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period; or

(ii)any other default occurs and is continuing on any series of Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of that series of Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from (a) with respect to Designated Senior Debt arising under the Credit Agreement, the administrative agent thereunder, or (b) with respect to any other Designated Senior Debt, the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt.

-115-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make payment on the Notes if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representatives of any Designated Senior Debt with respect to which either of the events set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 13.03(a) has occurred and is continuing.

(b)Payments on the Notes may and shall be resumed at the first to occur of the following:

(i)in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived; and

(ii)in the case of a nonpayment default, upon the earlier of (A) the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived, or (B) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, or (C) the date the Trustee receives notice from the Representative for such Designated Senior Debt rescinding the Payment Blockage Notice, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated.

(c)No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered unless and until 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Debt during such period.

(d)No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee will be, or will be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days.

Section 13.04Acceleration of Notes.

The Company shall promptly notify Representatives of its Designated Senior Debt if payment on the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default.

Section 13.05When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

(a)Subject to Section 13.11, if the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes receives a payment in respect of the Notes (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trusts described under Article 8 and Article 11 hereof) when:

(i)the payment is prohibited by this Article 13; and

(ii)the Trustee has received written notice from the Company or the holders of Senior Debt at least three Business Days before the payment date or the Holder has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited,

then, the Trustee or the Holder, as the case may be, will hold the payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. Upon the proper written request of the holders of Senior Debt, the

-116-

Trustee or the Holder, as the case may be, will deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of Senior Debt or their proper representative.

(b)With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 13, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 13, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.

Section 13.06Notice by the Company.

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 13, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt as provided in this Article 13.

Section 13.07Subrogation.

After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 13 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, among the Company, the Guarantors and Holders, a payment by the Company or the Guarantors on the Notes.

Section 13.08Relative Rights.

(a)This Article 13 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

(i)impair, among the Company, the Guarantors and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms or the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees;

(ii)affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company and the Guarantors other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or

(iii)prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and

-117-

owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes.

(b)If the Company fails because of this Article 13 to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default.

Section 13.09 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company and Guarantors.

No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company, or any Guarantor or any Holder or by the failure of the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder to comply with this Indenture.

Section 13.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company or any Guarantor referred to in this Article 13, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantors as applicable, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 13.

Section 13.11 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 13 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 13. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 13 shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section 13.12 Authorization to Effect Subordination.

Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to

-118-

effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 13, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s attorneyinfact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.12 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the lenders under the Credit Agreement are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes.

1. INTEREST. Xxxxxx Inc., a Delaware corporation, promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at the rate of 3.375% per annum. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”); provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2022. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods), at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest on the Notes will be computed per denomination of Note on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes. Such payment will be in Euros or such other currency of the Participating Member States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may issue Additional Notes. The Notes and any Additional Notes (collectively, referred to herein as the “Notes”) subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part on any one or more occasions, at the option of the Company, at any time prior to July 15, 2026, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of the Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Company is not prohibited by the terms of the Indenture from acquiring the Notes by means other than redemption, whether pursuant to a Company tender offer, in open market transactions, or otherwise, assuming such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

(b) At any time on or prior to July 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem the Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price of 103.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date; provided that at least 65% of the principal amount of the Notes originally issued on the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately following such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 120 days of the date of the closing of any such Equity Offering.

(c) The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part on any one or more occasions, at the option of the Company, on or after July 15, 2026, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of the Holders of the Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date:

6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Subject to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, notice of redemption will be (i) mailed by first-class mail at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and (ii) if at the time of such notice the Notes are listed on The Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin and the rules of The Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin so require, published in The Irish Times (or another leading newspaper of general circulation in Ireland). Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. Notices of redemption may be subject to satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent, as further described in the Indenture.

8. OFFER TO REPURCHASE.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, Section 4.14 of the Indenture shall apply to the extent applicable.

The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company will require a Holder to pay all taxes or similar government charges due on such transfer or exchange. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (x) for a period of 15

A-7

days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or (y) between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

11. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under the Indenture.

12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Indenture, declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any Designated Senior Debt is outstanding, the Company may only pay amounts due on the Notes if otherwise permitted under Article 13 of the Indenture. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes (other than nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration) held by a non-consenting Holder. The Company and each Guarantor is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

14. SUBORDINATION. Payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and the Note Guarantees is subordinated to the prior payment in full of Senior Debt in accordance with and subject to the terms provided in the Indenture.

15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee.

A-8

16. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS. No past, future or present director, officer, employee, partner, manager, agent, member (or Person forming any limited liability company), incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note and Note Guarantees waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

17. GOVERNING LAW. THE NOTES WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

18. ISIN AND/OR COMMON CODE NUMBERS.
