Each Global Note representing Notes shall be dated the Issue Date. Each definitive certificated Note (“Certificated Note”) shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The Notes shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Notes may be listed, if any, all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

(ii) A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee or an authenticating agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note upon Company Order. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated.

(iii) The Trustee or an authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver initially Notes on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$300,000,000, and any Additional Notes for original issue from time to time after the Issue Date in such principal amounts as set forth in Section 2.14, in each case upon a Company Order.

(iv) The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue Additional Notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects, except for issue date, issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional Notes issued in this manner shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series for non-U.S. federal income tax purposes with the previously outstanding Notes.

(ii) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Company.

The Company shall also cause the Trustee to maintain books for the exchange, registration and registration of transfer of Notes. The Trustee shall notify the Registrar and the Registrar shall notify the Trustee, when necessary, upon any exchange, registration or registration of transfer of any Notes and shall cause their respective books to be amended accordingly. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional Transfer Agents or Paying Agents.

(i) The Company shall enter into any appropriate agency agreements with any Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee may act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. as Transfer Agent in Luxembourg in connection with the Notes.

(b) The Registrar shall keep a record of all the Notes and shall make such record available during regular business hours for inspection upon the request of the Company provided a reasonable amount of time prior to such inspection.

In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so replaced, and the Notes issued in replacement thereof.

Exh. 2.3-17

(c) All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the relevant Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be.

(New York time) two Business Days prior to the due date from any such payment an irrevocable confirmation (by facsimile) of its intention to make such payment. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee, all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by it. Upon complying with this Section 2.04, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

Each payment in full of principal, redemption amount, additional amounts and/or interest payable under the Notes and this Indenture in respect of any Note made by or on behalf of the Company or a Guarantor to or to the order of the Principal Paying Agent in the manner specified herein or in the Notes on the date due shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, to make payment of principal, redemption amount, additional amounts and/or interest payable hereunder and under the Notes on such date, provided, however, that the liability of the Principal Paying Agent hereunder shall not exceed any amounts paid to it by the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, or held by it, on behalf of the Holders hereunder.

Section 2.05. Payment of Principal and Interest; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein for the redemption of the Notes, the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Outstanding Notes, without preference or priority of any kind among the Notes.

(c) Payment of the principal of any Note on a relevant Payment Date shall be made to the Person in whose name such Note is registered in the Register at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Payment Date, by U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank in The City of New York and mailed to the Person entitled thereto at its address as it appears on the Register, or by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in The City of New York, provided that such Holder so elects by giving written notice to such effect designating such account, upon application to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to such Payment Date.

(d) Payment of interest on each Interest Payment Date with respect to any Note shall be made to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date by U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank in The City of New York and mailed to the Person entitled thereto at its address as it appears on the Register, or by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in The City of New York, provided that the Holder so elects by giving written notice to such effect designating such account, which is received by the Trustee or a Paying Agent no later than the Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Unless such designation is revoked, any such designation made by such Holder with respect to such Note shall remain in effect with respect to any future payments with respect to such Note payable to such Holder. The Company shall pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer.

If the Payment Date in respect of any Note is not a business day at the place in which it is presented for payment, the Holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding business day at such place and shall not be entitled to any further interest or other payment in respect of any such delay.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.05, payments on Notes registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

Section 2.06. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee in writing, at least ten Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Interests in the Regulation S Global Note and the Restricted Global Note shall be exchangeable or transferable, as the case may be, for physical delivery of Certificated Notes if (i) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to

Exh. 2.3-19

continue as depositary for such Global Note, or DTC ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Notes, provided that such transfer or exchange is made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.

Upon receipt of notice by DTC or the Trustee, as the case may be, regarding the occurrence of any of the events described in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall use its best efforts to make arrangements with DTC for the exchange of interests in the Global Notes for individual Certificated Notes, and cause the requested individual Certificated Notes to be executed and delivered to the Trustee in sufficient quantities and authenticated by the Trustee for delivery to Holders. In the case of Certificated Notes issued in exchange for the Restricted Global Note, such Certificated Notes shall bear the Securities Act Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing such Securities Act Legend, or upon specific request for removal of the Securities Act Legend on a Note, the Company shall deliver only Notes that bear such Securities Act Legend, or shall refuse to remove such Securities Act Legend, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company a certificate in the form of Exhibit D or Exhibit F, as the case may be, or such satisfactory evidence as may reasonably be required by the Company, which may include an Opinion of Counsel, that neither the Securities Act Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. The Trustee shall exchange a Note bearing the Securities Act Legend for a Note not bearing such Securities Act Legend only if it has been directed to do so in writing by the Company, upon which direction it may conclusively rely.

(b) On or prior to the 40th day after the Closing Date, transfers by a DTC participant which is an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Restricted Global Note shall be made only in Authorized Denominations in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee or Transfer Agent of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form of Exhibit E to the effect that such transfer is being made to a Person who the transferor reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. After such 40th day, such certification requirement shall no longer apply to such transfers.

(c) Transfers by a Holder of a Certificated Note bearing the Securities Act Legend or by a DTC participant of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Note or in the form of a Certificated Note not bearing the Securities Act Legend shall be made only in Authorized Denominations upon receipt by the Trustee or Transfer Agent of a written certification from the transferor in the form of Exhibit D to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S.

Beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be shown on, and transfers thereof shall be effected only through records maintained by DTC and its direct and indirect participants, including Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.

Exh. 2.3-20

Transfers between participants in DTC shall be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and shall be settled in DTC’s Same Day Funds Settlement System and secondary market trading activity in such Notes shall therefore settle in immediately available funds. There can be no assurance as to the effect, if any, of settlements in immediately available funds on trading activity in the Notes. Transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg shall be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with Applicable Procedures.

(d) Certificated Notes may be exchanged or transferred in whole or in part in the principal amount of Authorized Denominations by surrendering such Certificated Notes at the office of the Trustee or any Transfer Agent with a written instrument of transfer as provided in this Indenture in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

In exchange for any Certificated Note properly presented for transfer, the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered at the Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, a Certificated Note or Notes, as the case may require, registered in the name of such transferee, for the same aggregate principal amount as was transferred. In the case of the transfer of any Certificated Note in part, the Trustee shall also promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered at the Corporate Trust Office, to the transferor, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferor) to such address as the transferor may request, a Certificated Note or Notes, as the case may require, registered in the name of such transferor, for the aggregate principal amount that was not transferred. No transfer of any Notes shall be made unless the request for such transfer is made by the registered Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing at the Corporate Trust Office and is accompanied by a completed instrument of transfer in the form of Exhibit C attached to the Note presented for transfer.

(e) Transfer, registration and exchange of any Note or Notes shall be permitted and executed as provided in this Section 2.07 without any charge to the Holder of any such Note or Notes other than any taxes or governmental charges or insurance charges payable on transfers or any expenses of delivery by other than regular mail, but subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee may prescribe.

The costs and expenses of effecting any exchange or registration of transfer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, except for the expense of delivery by other than regular mail (if any) and except for the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges or insurance charges that may be imposed in relation thereto, shall be borne by the Company.

All Certificated Notes issued upon any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Notes surrendered upon exchange or registration of transfer.

(f) The Trustee or the Transfer Agent shall effect transfers of Global Notes and Certificated Notes. In addition, the Registrar shall keep the Register for the ownership, exchange and registration of transfer of any Notes. The Transfer Agent shall give prompt notice to the Registrar and the Registrar shall likewise give prompt notice to the Trustee of any exchange or registration of transfer of such Notes. Neither the Trustee nor any Transfer Agent shall register the exchange or the transfer of any Global Note or Certificated Note (or any portion of a Certificated Note) during the period of 15 days ending on the Record Date. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Company of any replacement, transfer, cancellation or destruction of the Notes.

(g) Upon any such exchange or registration of transfer of all or a portion of any Global Note for a Certificated Note or an interest in either the Restricted Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the other Global Note, the Global Note to be so exchanged shall be marked to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by the aggregate principal amount of such Certificated Note or the interest to be so exchanged for an interest in a Regulation S Global Note or a Restricted Global Note, as the case may be. Until so exchanged in full, the Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Replacement Notes. If any Note at any time becomes mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost, such Note may be replaced at the cost of the applicant (including reasonable legal fees of the Company, the Trustee, the Transfer Agents, the Registrar and the Paying Agents) at the office of the Trustee or any Transfer Agent, upon provision of, in the case of destroyed, stolen or lost Notes, evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company that such Note was destroyed, stolen or lost, together with such indemnity as the Trustee and the Company may require. Mutilated or defaced Notes must be surrendered before replacements shall be issued.

Each Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for or in lieu of any such Note shall carry rights to accrued and unpaid interest and to interest to accrue equivalent to the rights that were carried by such Note before such Note was mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.09. Temporary Notes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(a), until Certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee 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. As necessary, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Certificated Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company or the Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Certificated Notes.

Section 2.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Transfer Agents and the Paying Agents shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or a Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel and the Trustee shall destroy in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record-retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and, if so destroyed, upon written instruction from the Company deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee in writing to deliver cancelled Notes to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, which shall not prohibit the Company from issuing any Additional Notes. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, the Guarantor or any of their Affiliates holds such Note, except that such Notes will not be deemed to be Outstanding for voting purposes pursuant to and in accordance with the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 1.01.

Exh. 2.3-22

Section 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest at the rate specified in Section 4.01 to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.11, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date of such defaulted interest. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and, at least 15 days before any such special record date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.12. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.13. Open Market Purchases. The Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise at any agreed upon price. All Notes so purchased may not be reissued or resold, except in compliance with applicable requirements or exemptions under the relevant securities laws.

Section 2.14. Issuance Of Additional Notes. The Company shall be entitled, from time to time, without notice to, or consent of, the Holders of the Notes, to create and issue additional principal amounts of Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Notes issued on the Issue Date (other than with respect to the issue date, issue price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date thereof and the first payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) thereon, and any Additional Amounts due with respect thereto, after the issue date thereof), as the case may be.

Exh. 2.3-23

(ii) the issue price, the issue date and the “CUSIP” and “ISIN” number of any such Additional Notes and the amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto;

(iii) whether such Additional Notes shall be transfer restricted securities and issued in the same form as Notes, as set forth in Exhibit A to this Indenture; and

(iv) if applicable, the resale restriction termination date relating to the Notes and the Restricted Period for such Additional Notes.

Section 2.15. One Class Of Notes. The Notes and any Additional Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class; and none of the Notes and any Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. The Notes and any Additional Notes shall together be deemed to constitute a single class or series for all purposes, other than for U.S. federal income tax purposes, under this Indenture.

Exh. 2.3-24

plus in the case of either (1) or (2), any interest accrued but not paid and additional amounts, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the notes are redeemed in part, at least U.S.$100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes must remain outstanding following any partial redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, any calculation of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest pursuant to clause (2) of the preceding sentence shall not include interest accrued as of the applicable Redemption Date.

(c) Redemption for Taxation Reasons. If as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of a Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation, administration or application of such laws, any treaties, rules, or related agreements to which the Taxing Jurisdiction is a party or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the issue date of the Notes or on or after the date a successor to the Company assumes the obligations under the Notes, (i) the Company or any successor to the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below in Section 4.06) or (ii) either of the Guarantors or any successor to the Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in excess of the Additional Amounts either such Guarantor or any such successor to the Guarantor would be obligated to pay if payments were subject to withholding or deduction at a rate of 15% or at a rate of 25% in the case that the Holder of the Notes is resident in a tax haven jurisdiction for Brazilian tax purposes (i.e., a country that does not impose any income tax or that imposes it at a maximum rate lower than 20% or where the laws impose restrictions on the disclosure of ownership composition, securities ownership or the beneficial ownership or do not allow for the identification of the beneficiary of income paid to non-resident persons pursuant to Law No. 11,727 of June 23, 2008) (the “Minimum Withholding Level”), as a result of the taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges described above, the Company or any successor to the Company may, at their option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, including any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, upon publication of irrevocable notice to Holders not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. No notice of such redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which either (x) the Company or any successor to the Company would, but for such redemption, become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts, or (y) in the case of payments made under the Guarantees, either Guarantor or any successor to the Guarantor would, but for such redemption, be obligated to pay the Additional Amounts in excess of the Minimum Withholding Level. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any successor to the Company shall not have the right to so redeem the Notes unless (a) it is obligated to pay Additional Amounts or (b) either Guarantor or any successor to the Guarantor is obliged to pay Additional Amounts that in the aggregate amount to more than the Additional Amounts payable at the Minimum Withholding Level. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any successor to the Company shall not have the right to so redeem the Notes unless it has taken reasonable measures to avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, reasonable measures do not include changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company or any successor to the Company or the jurisdiction of incorporation of a Guarantor or any successor to either Guarantor.

Exh. 2.3-25

In the event that the Company or any successor elects to so redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(c), it will deliver to the Trustee: (i) a certificate, signed in the name of the Company or any successor to the Company by any two of its executive officers or by its attorney-in-fact in accordance with its bylaws, stating that the Company or any successor to the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes pursuant to their terms and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the condition or conditions precedent to the right of the Company or any successor to the Company to so redeem have occurred or been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (1) the Company or any successor to the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts or either Guarantor or any successor to the Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in excess of the Additional Amounts payable at the Minimum Withholding Level, (2) such obligation is the result of a change in or amendment to the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of a Taxing Jurisdiction, as described above, (3) the Company or any successor to the Company, or either Guarantor or any successor to the Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid payment of such Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it and (4) that all governmental requirements necessary for the Company or any successor to the Company to effect the redemption have been complied with.

Section 3.02. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the option of the Company, as permitted by Section 3.01 or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article 3. The redemption of Notes may require the prior approval of the Central Bank of Brazil.

Section 3.03. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or 3.01(c) shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption of Notes at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 70 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date.

Section 3.04. Notice of Redemption by the Company. In the case of redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or 3.01(c), notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of any Note to be redeemed by first-class mail at its registered address and such notice shall be irrevocable. In addition, so long as the Notes are listed on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, notices shall be published in English in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg.

(vii) the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any; and

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

At the Company’s election and at its request, made in writing to the Trustee at least 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 70 days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

New York City time, no later than one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Principal Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes other than Notes that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the Redemption Date for cancellation. The Company shall request that the bank through which such payment is to be made agree to supply to the Principal Paying Agent by 10:00 A.M. (New York time) two Business Days prior to the due date from any such payment an irrevocable confirmation (by facsimile) of its intention to make such payment.

Section 3.06. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the applicable Redemption Price (together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (except in the event of a default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Payment Date is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms.

Exh. 2.3-27

If any Note to be redeemed shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof in accordance with the Company’s instructions for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest payable on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to their terms.

Section 3.07. Notes Redeemed In Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof (at the Company’s expense) a new Note, equal in a principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of U.S.$100,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

Exh. 2.3-28

Section 4.03. Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, it shall, on or before each due date of principal of or interest on any Notes, irrevocably deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such action or any failure so to act.

Each Paying Agent, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.03, shall:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein; provided, however, such sums need not be segregated from other funds held by it, except as required by law;

(ii) give the Trustee written notice of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal or interest; and

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Company shall cause each Paying Agent (other than the Principal Paying Agent) to execute and deliver an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee to act as a Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 4.03.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

Exh. 2.3-29

Section 4.04. Maintenance of Corporate Existence. XXX X.X. shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain in effect its corporate existence and all registrations necessary therefor, provided that these restrictions shall not prohibit any transactions permitted by Article 5 or the merger of any Subsidiary with or into XXX X.X. or with or into any other Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of XXX X.X.; (ii) take all reasonable actions to maintain all rights, privileges, titles to property, franchises and the like necessary in the normal conduct of its business, activities or operations; and (iii) maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition (normal wear and tear excepted) all properties used in their business; provided, however, that neither XXX X.X. nor its Subsidiaries shall be prevented from discontinuing those operations (including through the transfer or dissolution of a Subsidiary) or suspending the maintenance of those properties (including through the sale thereof) which, in the reasonable judgment of XXX X.X. are no longer necessary in the conduct of XXX X.X.’s business, or that of its Subsidiaries; and provided, further, that such discontinuation of operations or suspension of maintenance shall not be materially disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.06. Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) All payments by the Company in respect of the Notes or the Guarantors in respect of the Note Guarantees will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands or Brazil, or any authority therein or thereof or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or the Guarantors are organized, doing business or otherwise subject to the power to tax (any of the aforementioned being a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Company or the Guarantors are compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties,

Exh. 2.3-30

assessments, or governmental charges. In such event, the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, will make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts receivable by Holders of Notes after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Amounts”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Additional Amounts shall be payable:

(i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Note by reason of the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership, or a corporation) and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein, other than the mere holding of the Note or enforcement of rights under the Indenture and the receipt of payments with respect to the Note;

(ii) in respect of Notes surrendered or presented for payment (if surrender or presentment is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that payments under such Note would have been subject to withholdings and the Holder of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts, on surrender of such Note for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days;

(iii) where such Additional Amount is imposed and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings;

(iv) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges by reason of such Holder's failure to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder, if (1) compliance is required by law as a precondition to, exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge and (2) the Company has given the Holders at least 30 days’ notice that Holders will be required to provide such certification, identification, documentation or other requirement;

(v) in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise or personal property or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(vi) in respect of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of or interest on the Note;

Exh. 2.3-31

(vii) in respect of any tax imposed on overall net income or any branch profits tax; or

(viii) in respect of any combination of the above.

(b) No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment on a Note to a Holder who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that payment would be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interestholder in a limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder.

(c) The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation. Except as specifically provided above, neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be required to make a payment with respect to any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

(d) In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Notes are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and, as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title, and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company.

(e) Any reference in this Indenture or the Notes to principal, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the Notes by the Company or the Note Guaranty by the Guarantors will be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount, unless the context requires otherwise, that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations referred to in this Section.

(f) Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants that if any of the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, is required under applicable law to make any deduction or withholding on payments of principal of or interest on the Notes for or on account of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge, at least 10 days prior to the first payment date on the Notes and at least 10 days prior to each payment date thereafter where such withholding is required, the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall furnish the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent with an Officers’ Certificate (but only if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in any previously delivered Officers’ Certificate) instructing the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent as to whether such payment of principal of or interest on the Notes shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge, or, if any such deduction or withholding shall be required by the Taxing Jurisdiction, then such certificate shall: (i) specify the amount required to be deducted or withheld on such payment to the relevant recipient; (ii) certify that the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay such deduction or withholding amount to the appropriate taxing authority; and (iii) certify that the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent such Additional Amounts as are required by this Section 4.06.

Exh. 2.3-32

(g) Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent for, and to hold each harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by it in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 4.06 or any failure to furnish such a certificate.

(h) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall survive termination or discharge of this Indenture, payment of the Notes and/or resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent.

Section 4.07. Reporting Requirements. (a) The Company and the Guarantors shall provide the Trustee with the following reports (and shall also provide the Trustee with sufficient copies, as required, of the reports referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) for distribution, at the Company’s and the Guarantors’ expense, to all Holders of Notes):

Section 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity, Rescission and Amendment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f), Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if the notice is given by the Holders), stating that such notice is an “acceleration notice,” and upon any such declaration such amounts shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f), Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee may rescind or annul such declaration if:

(ii) all Events of Default have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13 other than the nonpayment of principal that has become due solely because of acceleration.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.03. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) occurs, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, (i) may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest (including Additional Amounts), and interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest (including Additional Amounts) shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest (including Additional Amounts), at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (ii) may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and (iii) may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

Section 6.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due to it hereunder (including, without limitation, under Section 7.06);

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest (including Additional Amounts), ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest (including Additional Amounts), respectively; and

THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amounts from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.06. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

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

Section 6.08. Rights of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective Payment Dates expressed in the Notes, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired of affected without the consent of such Holder.

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 proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, 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 had been instituted.

Section 6.10. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the trustee hereunder) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor, their respective creditors or their respective properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Exh. 2.3-41

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 6 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. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of the Holders if such request or direction conflicts with any law or with this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, if the Trustee determines it is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that, subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearance are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such request or direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all costs, losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.14. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.08, 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.

Exh. 2.3-42

Section 6.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company and each Guarantor covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Notes; and the Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not 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 had been enacted.

(l) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties of the Trustee.

(m) The Trustee and each Agent shall accept and act upon Written Directions when given to the Trustee or such Agent, as the case may be, in the form of Facsimile Instructions.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee and any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar or any other agent of the Company or of 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 its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults and Events of Default. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and if it is known to the Responsible Officer, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after a Responsible Officer acquires actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice and shall be protected from withholding the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. For all purposes of this Indenture and the Notes, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or Event of Default unless either (i) an attorney, authorized officer or agent of the Trustee with direct responsibility for the Indenture has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (ii) written notice of such Default or Event of Default has been given to the Trustee by the Company or any Holder.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee and each Agent from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services.

The Company agrees to reimburse promptly the Trustee and each Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and each Agent’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. Payments of any such expenses by the Company to the Trustee or any Agent, as the case may be, shall be made free and clear of and

Exh. 2.3-46

without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, fees or other governmental charges of whatever nature (and any fines, penalties or interest related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands, Brazil or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, such Additional Amounts as may be necessary in order that every net payment made by the Company to the Trustee and such Agent, as the case may be, after deducting or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, penalty, fine, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the Cayman Islands, Brazil or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein shall not be less than the amount then due and payable to the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent, as the case may be. The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and each Agent against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without gross negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of and in connection with the administration of this Indenture, the performance of its respective duties hereunder, and the exercise of its rights hereunder including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture. The Company undertakes to indemnify the Trustee and each of the Agents and their affiliates against all losses, liabilities, including any and all tax liabilities, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include both Brazilian and Cayman Islands taxes and associated penalties, costs, claims, actions, damages, expenses or demands which any of them may incur or which may be made against any of them as a result of or in connection with the appointment of or the exercise of the powers and duties or rights by the Trustee or any Agent or its affiliates under this Indenture except as may result from its own default, gross negligence or bad faith or that of its directors, officers or employees or any of them, or breach by it of the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee and each Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or such Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. If the Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, determines in its reasonable discretion that no conflict of interest (or potential conflict of interest) exists, the Company will be entitled to participate in the Trustee’s defense of the claim or Agent’s defense of the claim, as the case may be, and the Trustee or such Agent may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.

To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall survive the payment of the Notes, resignation or removal of the Trustee or any Agent and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

Exh. 2.3-47

The Company acknowledges that none of the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent or any other Agent makes any representations as to the interpretation or characterization of the transactions herein undertaken for tax or any other purpose, in any jurisdiction.

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee) the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

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, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligation under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Exh. 2.3-48

Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business (including this transaction) or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such adopted certificates shall have the full force of all provisions within the Notes or in this Indenture relating to the certificate of the Trustee.

Section 7.09. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation, bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (i) which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, (ii) is subject to supervision or examination by governmental authorities, (iii) shall have at all times a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and (iv) shall have its Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York.

(iv) the existence of any claim, set‑off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with the Indenture or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(v) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of this Indenture or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture; or

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 10.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 10.04. Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other Person.

Section 10.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Company under this Article, the Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation; provided that the Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Notes remains unpaid.

Exh. 2.3-57

Section 10.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders.

Section 10.07. Limitation on Amount of Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the laws of the Cayman Islands, Brazil, the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guaranty are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the laws of the Cayman Islands, Brazil, the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

Section 10.08. Execution and Delivery of Guaranty. The execution by each Guarantor of this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B) evidences the Note Guaranty of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guaranty set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 10.09. Release of Guaranty. The Note Guaranty of a Guarantor will terminate upon:

(i) a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (in each case other than to the Company or a Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by this Indenture;

(ii) if the Note Guaranty was required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the cessation of the circumstances requiring the Note Guaranty; or

(iii) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Article 8.

Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company in writing in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guaranty.

Notices or communications to a Guarantor will be deemed given if given to the Company.

Any party by written notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

Where this Indenture provides for the giving of notice to Holders, such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon (i) the mailing of first class mail, postage prepaid, of such notice to Holders of the Notes at their registered addresses as recorded in the Register; and (ii) for so long as the Notes are listed on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and it is required by the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, publication of such notice to the Holders of the Notes in English in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg or, if such publication is not practicable, in one other leading English language daily newspaper with general circulation in Europe, such newspaper being published on each Business Day in morning editions, whether or not it shall be published in Saturday, Sunday or holiday editions.

The Company shall also cause all other such publications of such notices as may be required from time to time by applicable Brazilian law, including, without limitation, those required under the applicable regulations issued by the CVM.

Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication is mailed to a Holder in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

Section 11.03. Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

(i) an Officers’ Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 11.04) stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel are based;

(iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such Person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such Person, such covenant or condition has been complied with.

Section 11.05. Rules by Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Holders. The Registrar, the Paying Agents and the Transfer Agents may make reasonable rules for their functions.

Section 11.06. Currency Indemnity. U.S. Dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company or the Guarantors under or in connection with the Notes and the Note Guarantees, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. Dollars (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Company or otherwise) by any Holder of a Note in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company or any Guarantor shall only constitute a discharge to the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, to the extent of the U.S. Dollar amount that the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that U.S. Dollar amount is less than the U.S. Dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Note, the Company and the Guarantors shall indemnify such Holder against any loss sustained by it as a result, and if the amount of U.S. Dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such Holder, such Holder shall, by accepting a Note, be deemed to have agreed to repay such excess. In any event, the Company and the Guarantors shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase.

For the purposes of this Section 11.06, it shall be sufficient for the Holder of a Note to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. Dollars been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. Dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder of a Note and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Note.

Exh. 2.3-61

Section 11.07. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee, respectively, under this Indenture or the Notes or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

Section 11.08. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or date of Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or date of Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or date of Maturity, as the case may be on account of such delay.

Section 11.09. Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTES GUARANTEES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this indenture, the notes or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.10. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or U.S. federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York with respect to actions brought against it as a defendant in respect of any suit, action or proceeding or arbitral award arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (a “Proceeding”), and irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may do so under applicable law, trial by jury and any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Company and the Guarantors irrevocably appoints National Corporate Research Limited (the “Process Agent”), with an office at 000 Xxxx 00^xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, XXX, as its authorized agent to receive on behalf of it and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any Proceeding. If for any reason such Person shall cease to be such agent for service of process, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall forthwith appoint a new agent of recognized standing for service of process in the State of New York and deliver to the Trustee a copy of the new agent’s acceptance of that appointment within 30 days. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Trustee, any Agent or any Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company and the Guarantors in any other court of competent jurisdiction.

Exh. 2.3-62

(b) Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably appoints the Process Agent as its agent to receive, on behalf of itself and its property, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such New York state or U.S. federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York. Such service shall be made by delivering by hand a copy of such process to the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in care of the Process Agent at the address specified above. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Failure of the Process Agent to give notice to the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, or failure of the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, to receive notice of such service of process shall not affect in any way the validity of such service on the Process Agent, the Company or the Guarantors. As an alternative method of service, each of the Company and the Guarantors also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such Proceeding by the delivery by hand of copies of such process to the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, at its address specified in Section 11.02 or at any other address previously furnished in writing by the Company or the Guarantors to the Trustee. Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue the designation of the Process Agent above in full force and effect during the term of the Notes, and to cause the Process Agent to continue to act as such.

(c) Nothing in this Section 11.10 shall affect the right of any party, including the Trustee, any Agent or any Holder, to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any party to bring any action or proceeding against any other party or its property in the courts of other competent jurisdictions.

(d) Each of the Company and the Guarantors irrevocably agrees that, in any proceedings anywhere (whether for an injunction, specific performance or otherwise), no immunity (to the extent that it may at any time exist, whether on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from such proceedings, from attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) of its assets or from execution of judgment shall be claimed by it or on its behalf or with respect to its assets, except to the extent required by applicable law, any such immunity being irrevocably waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Each of the Company and the Guarantors irrevocably agrees that, where permitted by applicable law, it and its assets are, and shall be, subject to such proceedings, attachment or execution in respect of its obligations under this Indenture or the Notes.

Section 11.11. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements of the Company and the Guarantors in this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

Exh. 2.3-63

Section 11.12. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

Section 11.13. Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any term or provision hereof invalid or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 11.14. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Section 11.15. Trust Indenture Act Of 1939. This Indenture shall incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 11.16. The parties hereto acknowledge that, in accordance with Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107–56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “USA Patriot Act”), the Trustee, like all financial institutions, is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that opens an account. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as the Trustee may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal or installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate borne by the Notes plus 1% per annum.

4. Method of Payment.

Payments of interest in respect of each Note shall be made on each Interest Payment Date by the Paying Agents to the Persons shown on the Register at the close of business on the January 14 and July 14, as the case may be (each, a “Record Date”), immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Upon written application by the Holder to the specified office of any Paying Agent not less than 15 days before the due date for any payment in respect of a Note, such payment may be made by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in The City of New York. Payment of principal in respect of each Note shall be made on any Payment Date for such principal to the Person shown on the Register at the close of business on the fifteenth day immediately preceding such Payment Date.

All payments on this Note are subject in all cases to any applicable tax or other laws and regulations, but without prejudice to the provisions of Paragraph 6 hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.08 of the Indenture, no fees or expenses shall be charged to the Holders in respect of such payments.

If the amount of principal or interest which is due on the Notes is not paid in full, the Registrar shall annotate the Register with a record of the amount of interest, if any, in fact paid.

Exh. 2.3-76

5. Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent.

The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. shall initially act as Transfer Agent in Luxembourg.

6. Additional Amounts.

All payments by the Company in respect of the Notes or the Guarantors in respect of the Note Guarantees will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands or Brazil, or any authority therein or thereof or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or the Guarantors are organized, doing business or otherwise subject to the power to tax (any of the aforementioned being a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Company or the Guarantors are compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties, assessments, or governmental charges. In such event, the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, will make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts receivable by Holders of Notes after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Amounts”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Additional Amounts shall be payable:

Exh. 2.3-77

(v) in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise or personal property or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(vi) in respect of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of or interest on the Note;

(vii) in respect of any tax imposed on overall net income or any branch profits tax; or

(viii) in respect of any combination of the above.

No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment on a Note to a Holder who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that payment would be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interestholder in a limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder.

The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation. Except as specifically provided above, neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be required to make a payment with respect to any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Notes are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and, as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title, and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company.

Exh. 2.3-78

Any reference in the Indenture or the Notes to principal, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the Notes by the Company or the Note Guaranty by the Guarantors will be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount, unless the context requires otherwise, that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations referred to in this Paragraph 6.

The foregoing obligation will survive termination or discharge of the Indenture.

7. Open Market Purchases.

The Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise at any agreed upon price. All Notes so purchased may not be reissued or resold, except in compliance with applicable requirements or exemptions under the relevant securities laws.

8. Redemption.

Except as described in Section 3.01 of the Indenture and this Paragraph 8, the Notes may not be redeemed.

(1) On or prior to January 29, 2015, the Notes shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on any Interest Payment Date, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such notes (exclusive of interest accrued on the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 100 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date; and

Year	Redemption Price
2015	104.75%
2016	103.17%
2017	101.58%
2018 and thereafter	100.00%

Exh. 2.3-79

If as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of a Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation, administration or application of such laws, any treaties, rules, or related agreements to which a Taxing Jurisdiction is a party or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the issue date of the Notes or on or after the date a successor to the Company assumes the obligations under the Notes, (i) the Company or any successor to the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 4.06 of the Indenture and Paragraph 5 hereof) or (ii) either of the Guarantors or any successor to the Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in excess of the Additional Amounts either such Guarantor or any such successor to the Guarantor would be obligated to pay if payments were subject to withholding or deduction at a rate of 15% or at a rate of 25% in the case that the Holder of the Notes is resident in a tax haven jurisdiction for Brazilian tax purposes (i.e., a country that does not impose any income tax or that imposes it at a maximum rate lower than 20% or where the laws impose restrictions on the disclosure of ownership composition, securities ownership or the beneficial ownership or do not allow for the identification of the beneficiary of income paid to non-resident persons pursuant to Law No. 11,727 of June 23, 2008) (the “Minimum Withholding Level”), as a result of the taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges described above, the Company or any of its successors may, at their option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, upon publication of irrevocable notice to Holders not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. No notice of such redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which either (x) the Issuer or successor to the Issuer would, but for such redemption, become obligated to pay any additional amounts, or (y) in the case of payments made under the Guarantees, either Guarantor or any successor to the Guarantor would, but for such redemption, be obligated to pay the Additional Amounts in excess of the Minimum Withholding Level. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any successor to the Company shall not have the right to so redeem the Notes unless (a) it is obligated to pay Additional Amounts or (b) either Guarantor or any successor to the Guarantor is obliged to pay Additional Amounts that in the aggregate amount exceed the Additional Amounts payable at the Minimum Withholding Level. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any successor to the Company shall not have the right to so redeem the Notes unless it has taken reasonable measures to avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, reasonable measures do not include changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company or any successor to the Company or the jurisdiction of incorporation of a Guarantor or any successor to either Guxxxxxxx.

Xxx. 2.3-80

In the event that the Company or any successor elects to so redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of the Indenture, it will deliver to the Trustee: (i) a certificate, signed in the name of the Company by any two of its executive officers or by its attorney-in-fact in accordance with its bylaws, stating that the Company or any successor to the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes pursuant to their terms and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the condition or conditions precedent to the right of the Company or any successor to the Company to so redeem have occurred or been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (1) the Company or any successor to the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts or either Guarantor or any successor to the Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in excess of the Additional Amounts payable at the Minimum Withholding Level, (2) such obligation is the result of a change in or amendment to the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of a Taxing Jurisdiction, as described above, (3) the Company or any successor to the Company, or either Guarantor or any successor to the Guarantor, as the case may be cannot avoid payment of such Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it and (4) that all governmental requirements necessary for the Company to effect the redemption have been complied with.

9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S.$100,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture.

The Trustee, the Registrar or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or before an Interest Payment Date.

10. Persons Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner thereof for all purposes.

11. Unclaimed Money.

Subject to applicable law, the Trustee and the Paying Agents shall pay to the Company upon request any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and thereafter, Holders entitled to such monies must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

12. Defeasance.

Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company and the Guarantors at any time may terminate some or all of their obligations under the Notes, the Indenture and the Note Guarantees, as the case may be, if the Company or the Guarantors irrevocably deposit in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient for the payment of principal of and interest on all the Notes to Maturity or redemption. At such time, each Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guaranty will terminate.

Exh. 2.3-81

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any past Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
