The receipt by the Paying Agent or the Trustee from the Company of each payment of principal, interest and/or other amounts due in respect of the Notes in the manner specified herein and on the date on which such amount of principal, interest and/or other amounts are then due, shall satisfy the obligations of the Company herein and under the Notes to make such payment to the Holders on the due date thereof; provided, however, that the liability of any Paying Agent hereunder shall not exceed any amounts paid to it by the Company, or held by it, on behalf of the Holders under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify the Holders in the event that there is subsequent failure by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to pay any amount due in respect of the Notes in accordance with the Notes and this Indenture as shall result in the receipt by the Holders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such failure occurred.

Section 2.5 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any initial CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers and any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.6 Holder Lists. The Registrar 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 seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably 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 2.7 Global Note Provisions.

(a) Each Global Note initially shall: (i) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC; (ii) be delivered to the Note Custodian; and (iii) bear the appropriate legend, as set forth in Section 2.8 and Exhibit A. Any Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate. The aggregate principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Note Custodian, as provided in this Indenture.

(b) Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Note Custodian under such Global Note, and DTC may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar and any of their agents as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar or any of their agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC. The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(c) Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive Certificated Notes. Global Notes shall be exchangeable for Certificated Notes only in the following limited circumstances:

(i) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice;

(ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable; or

(iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Note for Certificated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.7(c), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

Section 2.8 Legends.

(a) Each Global Note shall bear the legend specified therefor in Exhibit A on the face thereof.

(b) Each Restricted Note shall bear the private placement legend specified therefor in Exhibit A on the face thereof (the “Private Placement Legend”).

Section 2.9 Transfer and Exchange.

The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note that is a Restricted Note:

(a) If (1) the owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes to transfer such interest (or portion thereof) to a Non-U.S. Person pursuant to Regulation S and (2) such Non-U.S. Person wishes to hold its interest in the Notes through a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, upon receipt by the Note Custodian and Registrar of:

(i) instructions from the Holder of the Rule 144A Global Note directing the Note Custodian and Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred; and

(ii) a certificate in the form of Exhibit C from the transferor,

the Note Custodian and Registrar shall increase the Regulation S Global Note and decrease the Rule 144A Global Note by such amount in accordance with the foregoing.

(b) If the owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note wishes to transfer such interest (or any portion thereof) to a QIB pursuant to Rule 144A prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period therefor, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, upon receipt by the Note Custodian and Registrar of:

(i) instructions from the Holder of the Regulation S Global Note directing the Note Custodian and Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred; and

(ii) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B duly executed by the transferor,

the Note Custodian and Registrar shall increase the Rule 144A Global Note and decrease the Regulation S Global Note by such amount in accordance with the foregoing.

(c) Other Transfers. Any transfer of Restricted Notes not described in Section 2.9 (other than a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note that does not involve an exchange of such interest for a Certificated Note or a beneficial interest in another Global Note, which must be effected in accordance with applicable law and the rules and procedures of DTC, but is not subject to any procedure required by this Indenture) shall be made only upon receipt by the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar of such Opinions of Counsel, certificates and/or other information reasonably required by and satisfactory to it in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or in accordance with Section 2.9(d).

(d) Use and Removal of Private Placement Legends. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) not bearing (or not required to bear upon such registration of transfer, exchange or replacement) a Private Placement Legend, the Note Custodian and Registrar shall exchange such Notes (or beneficial interests) for beneficial interests in a Global Note (or Certificated Notes if they have been issued pursuant to Section 2.7(c)) that does not bear a Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) bearing a Private Placement Legend, the Note Custodian and Registrar shall deliver only Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) that bear a Private Placement Legend unless:

(i) such Notes (or beneficial interests) are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 upon delivery to the Registrar of a certificate of the transferor in the form of Exhibit D and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar;

(ii) a transfer of such Notes is made pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement, in which case the Private Placement Legend shall be removed from such Note so transferred at the request of the Holder; or

(iii) in connection with such registration of transfer, exchange or replacement the Registrar shall have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it, the Trustee and the Company and other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that neither such Private Placement Legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

The Private Placement Legend on any Rule 144A Global Note shall be removed only at the option of the Company. The Private Placement Legend on any Regulation S Global Note shall be removed at the request of the Holder after the Distribution Compliance Period therefore has

ended. The Holder of a Global Note may exchange an interest therein for an equivalent interest in a Global Note not bearing a Private Placement Legend (other than a Regulation S Global Note) upon transfer of such interest pursuant to any of clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.9(d).

(e) Consolidation of Global Notes. Nothing in this Indenture shall provide for the consolidation of any Notes with any other Notes unless they constitute, as determined pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel, the same classes of securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(f) Retention of Documents. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Article II. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

(g) Execution, Authentication of Notes, etc.

(i) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.9 when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided that any Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and to the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate Certificated Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company, the Registrar, or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessment, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 3.7).

(iii) The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note for a period beginning: (1) 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; or (2) 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date.

(iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note

and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(v) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(vi) The Registrar shall be entitled to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signatures of the transferor and the transferee.

(h) No Obligation of the Trustee.

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer or exchange imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer or exchange of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the express terms of this Indenture, to examine the same to determine if it substantially complies on its face as to form with the express requirements hereof, and to notify the party delivering the same if the certificate does not so comply.

Section 2.10 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York are met, the Company

shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an affidavit of loss and indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Company or a Trust Officer of the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York), the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

(b) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.10, the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel, the Trustee and its counsel) in connection therewith.

(c) In case any mutilated, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company may, in its discretion, pay such Notes instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

(d) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be exclusive and shall be in lieu of, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.11 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes.

Section 2.12 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures or return to the Company all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.10, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange upon Company Order.

Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. When any installment of interest becomes Defaulted Interest, such installment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in Section 2.13(a) or Section 2.13(b).

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.13(a). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than ten calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the registration books of the Registrar, not less than ten calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to Section 2.13(b).

(b) Alternatively, the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.14 Additional Notes. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the

Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture Additional Notes having terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A identical to those of the Initial Notes, except that Additional Notes:

(a) may have a different issue price, issue date and, if applicable, date from which the interest shall accrue from the Initial Notes;

(b) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on the Initial Notes; and

(c) may have terms specified in the Additional Note Board Resolution or Additional Note Supplemental Indenture for such Additional Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article II and Exhibit A (and related definitions) applicable to such Additional Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws).

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 3.5 Further Instruments and Acts. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper or as may be required by applicable law to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 3.6 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture.

(b) On the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, deposit with the Paying Agent funds in an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment, in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered.

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

(ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.

Notes (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be cancelled and cannot be reissued.

(e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder in connection with the purchase of Notes in connection with a Change of Control Offer.

Company shall comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by doing so.

(f) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in compliance with the conditions and requirements of this Indenture and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) prior to the date the Change of Control Offer is required to be made, the Company has given notice of redemption in respect of all of the Outstanding Notes in accordance with this Indenture.

(a) In the event that the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing; provided that if, as a result of the European Union regulated market amended Directive 2001/34/EC (the “Transparency Directive”) or any legislation implementing the Transparency Directive or other directives or legislation, the Company could be required to publish financial information either more regularly than it otherwise would be required to or according to accounting principles which are materially different from the accounting principles which the Company would otherwise use to prepare its published financial information, the Company may delist the Notes from the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with the rules of such Exchange and seek an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation for the Notes on a different section of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or by such other listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system inside or outside the European Union as the Board of Directors of the Company may decide.

Section 3.12 Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) The Company, and each Subsidiary Guarantor, shall, subject to the exceptions set forth below, pay to Holders of the Notes additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that every net payment of interest, premium upon redemption of the Notes or principal to the Holders shall not be less than the amount provided for in the Notes. The term “net payment” means the amount that the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or a Paying Agent pays any Holder after deducting or withholding an amount for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed with respect to that payment by the British Virgin Islands or any jurisdiction where the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is incorporated, resident or doing business for tax purposes or from or through which any payment in respect of the Notes is made by the paying agent or the Company, or any political subdivision thereof (a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), or by any taxing authority of a Relevant Jurisdiction.

(b) The Company, and each Subsidiary Guarantor, shall not pay Additional Amounts to any Holder for or solely on account of any of the following:

(i) any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that would not have been imposed but for any present or former connection between the Holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder) and the Relevant Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt of a payment or the ownership or holding of a Note);

(ii) any estate, inheritance, capital gains, excise, personal property tax, sales, transfer, gift or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed with respect to the Notes;

(iii) any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other Person to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of the Holder or any beneficial owner of the Note if compliance is required by law, regulation or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the Relevant Jurisdiction is a party, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge (including withholding taxes payable on interest payments under the Notes) and the Company has given the Holders at least 30 days’ notice that Holders will be required to provide such certification, identification or information;

(iv) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on or in respect of the Notes;

(v) any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges with respect to a Note presented for payment, where presentation is required, more than 30 days after the date on which the payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Note for payment on any date during such 30-day period;

(vi) any withholding or deduction that is required to be made pursuant to EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive;

(vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of the principal of, or premium or interest on any Note, if such tax, assessment or other governmental charge results from the presentation of any Note for payment and the payment can be made without such withholding or deduction by the presentation of the Note for payment by at least one other available paying agent of the Company;

(viii) any payment on the Note to a Holder that is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or a person other than the sole beneficial owner of any such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership, an interestholder in such a limited liability company or the beneficial owner of the payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of the Note; or

(ix) in the case of any combination of the items listed above.

(c) Upon request, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of taxes in respect of which the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor has paid any Additional Amount.

(d) Any reference in this Indenture or the Notes to principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the Notes by us will be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations referred to in this section.

(e) In the event of any merger or other transaction described and permitted under Section 4.1, all references to the British Virgin Islands, the laws or regulations of the British Virgin Islands, and the political subdivisions or taxing authorities of the British Virgin Islands under this Section 3.12 and under Article IV and Section 5 of Exhibit A will be deemed to also include the jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence of the Surviving Entity, if different from the British Virgin Islands, and any political subdivision therein or thereof, law or regulations, and any taxing authority of such other jurisdiction or any political subdivision therein or thereof, respectively.

Section 3.13 Compliance Certificates.

(a) Upon the formation, creation or acquisition of any new Subsidiary that is also an Excluded Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Subsidiary is prevented by local law or the existence of minority shareholders from guaranteeing the Notes.

(b) The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s or any other Person’s compliance with the covenants described above or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under this Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve the Trustee of any obligations to monitor the Company’s timely delivery of the reports and certificates described in Section 3.10.

(c) The provisions of Section 4.1(a)(ii) above shall not apply to any merger or consolidation of the Company into an Affiliate of the Company incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction so long as the Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole is not increased thereby.

(d) Section 4.1(a), Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.1(c) shall not apply to (i) any transfer of assets between the Company and any Subsidiary and (ii) any transfer of assets among or between Subsidiaries.

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

(b) Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee written notice of events which would constitute such Default or Event of Default, the status thereof and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Section 6.2 Acceleration.

No rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any rights relating thereto.

Section 6.3 Other Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.2, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default hereunder, and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes.

provided that a Holder of a Note may institute suit for enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary, no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates, Redemption Dates or repurchase date expressed herein or the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(i) and Section 6.1(a)(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with applicable interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7.

Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim, etc.

(a) In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under applicable law in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee may (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes is then due):

(i) 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 and the Holders under this Indenture and the Notes allowed in any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company or their respective creditors or properties; and

(ii) collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable in respect of any such claims and distribute them in accordance with this Indenture.

Any receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7.

(b) Nothing in this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

The Trustee may, upon notice to the Company, fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. All parties agree, and each Holder by its acceptance of its Notes shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of Outstanding Notes.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document, instrument, opinion, direction, order, notice or request reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in such document, instrument, opinion, direction, order, notice or request.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting at the direction of the Company, it may require an Officers’ Certificate, advice of counsel and/or an Opinion of Counsel, and such Officers’ Certificate, advice and/or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officers’ Certificate, advice of counsel and/or Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon notice to the Company, to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at

the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default (other than payment default under Section 6.1(a)(i) or Section 6.1(a)(ii)) unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to a Default or Event of Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such Default or Event of Default for which the Trustee is deemed to have notice pursuant to this Section 7.2(g).

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

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

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

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

(l) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service, accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions (it being understood that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances).

(m) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or subcustodian with respect to certain of the Cash Equivalents, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Cash Equivalents and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Cash Equivalents. Such compensation is not payable or reimbursable under Section 7.7 of this Indenture.

(n) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys.

(o) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Indenture or otherwise.

(p) To help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Trustee will obtain, verify, and record information that identifies individuals or entities that establish a relationship or open an account with the Trustee. The Trustee will ask for the name, address, tax identification number and other information that will allow the Trustee to identify the individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the account. The Trustee may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be provided.

(q) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Trustee that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information and sent by electronic mail will be encrypted. The recipient of the email communication will be required to complete a one-time registration process. Information and assistance on registering and using the email encryption technology can be found at the Trustee's secure website xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by calling (000) 000-0000 (in the U.S.) or (000) 000-0000 at any time.

Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10.

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not 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, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs hereunder with respect to the Notes, the Trustee shall promptly give the Holders of the Notes notice of such Default. In addition, if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is a payment default or a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, or has received written notice thereof pursuant to Section 7.2(g) the Trustee shall mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Company, notice of the Default or Event of Default within 45 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall notify Holders of any Defaults under this Indenture pursuant to Section 7.5. The Company agrees to promptly notify the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture, except for any such expense as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) against any claim or liability related to the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder and under any other agreement or instrument related thereto. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent.

(c) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Company.

(d) The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Law Event of Default, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law; provided, however, that this shall not affect the Trustee’s rights as set forth in this Section 7.7 or Section 6.10.

Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. In addition, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. Moreover, if the Trustee is no longer eligible pursuant to Section 7.10 to act as such, or does not have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report or does not have its corporate trust office in the City of New York, New York, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged 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.

(b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) 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 and, so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of such Exchange so require, the successor Trustee shall also publish notice as described in Section 11.1. 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 7.7.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may petition, at the Company’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger.

(a) If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such Persons shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII.

(b) In case at the time such successor or successors to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 7.10 Eligibility.

The Trustee shall have 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.

Section 7.11 Paying Agent, Registrar and Luxembourg Paying Agent. The rights, protections and immunities granted to the Trustee under this Article VII shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Paying Agent, Registrar, any Authenticating Agent and the Luxembourg Paying Agent.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1 Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

(a) The Company may, at its option, at any time, upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.2, elect to have either Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(c) be applied to its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guarantees.

(b) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1(a) of the option applicable to this Section 8.1(b), the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2, be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees on the 91st day after the deposit specified in Section 8.2(a) (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be Outstanding only for the purposes of the sections of this Indenture referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.1(b), and the Company shall have been deemed to have satisfied all their other

obligations under such Notes, and hereunder (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(i) the rights of Holders to receive solely from the trust described in Section 8.2(a) below, as more fully set forth in such section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due,

(ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments,

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.1(b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.1(c).

(c) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1(a) of the option applicable to this Section 8.1(c), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2, released and discharged from their obligations under the covenants (including, without limitation, the obligations contained in Section 3.4, Section 3.7, Section 3.8, Section 3.9, Section 3.10, Section 3.11, and Section 3.13 with respect to the Outstanding Notes and the operation of Sections 6.1(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) but only as it applies to any Restricted Subsidiary, and (viii) shall terminate on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not Outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be Outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed Outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event or Default with respect to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees under Section 6.1, but, except as specified above, the remainder hereof and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 8.2 Conditions to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option only if:

(a) the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders cash in U.S. Dollars, certain direct non-callable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient

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

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state that, the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized law firm in the U.S. reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and independent of the Company to the effect that the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit pursuant to Section 8.2(a);

(e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(f) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;

Section 8.3 Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust U.S. Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the U.S. Dollars from U.S. Government Obligations, together with earnings thereon, through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes.

Section 8.4 Repayment to Company.

(a) The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them upon payment of all the obligations under this Indenture.

(b) Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

Section 8.5 Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations.

Section 8.7 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for herein) as to all Outstanding Notes, and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

(a) either:

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

(c) After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.1.

Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders.

(a) Modifications to, amendments of, and supplements to, this Indenture or the Notes not set forth under Section 9.1 may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture, except that, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, no amendment may:

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

If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be

entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

Section 9.4 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement.

Section 9.5 Trustee to Sign Amendments and Supplements. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment or supplement the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, such evidence as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, the documents required by Section 11.2 and solely on an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate, each stating that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted hereby.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce

any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor; or (vi) any change in the ownership of the Company.

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

(d) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further expressly waives irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) Any right it may have to first require any Holder to proceed against, initiate any actions before a court of law or any other judge or authority, or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor) before claiming from it under this Indenture;

(ii) Any rights to the benefits of orden, excusión, división, quita and espera arising from Articles 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2826, 2837, 2839, 2840, 2845, 2846, 2847 and any other related or applicable Articles that are not explicitly set forth herein because of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s knowledge thereof, of the Código Civil Federal of Mexico and the Código Civil of each State of the Mexican Republic and for the Federal District of Mexico;

(iii) Any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor) first be used, applied or depleted as payment of the Company’s or the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, prior to any amount being claimed from or paid by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder; and

(iv) Any right to which it may be entitled to have claims hereunder divided between the Subsidiary Guarantors.

(e) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or

modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against each Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing; and

(ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

(h) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand:

(i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby; and

(ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 10.2 Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge

(a) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the Guaranteed Obligations not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar illegal transfer under applicable law.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and relieved of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee in the event that:

(i) there is a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant Defeasance of the Notes Pursuant to Article VIII;

(ii) there is a sale or other disposition (including through a consolidation or merger) of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company;

(iii) there is a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger, stock purchase, asset sale or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor; or

(iv) there is a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.7;

provided, in each case, such transactions are carried out pursuant to and in accordance with all applicable covenants and provisions hereof.

Section 10.3 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Subsidiary Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in a pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Section 10.4 No Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.5 Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that, if at any time after the date hereof any Subsidiary of the Company is incorporated, formed or acquired under the laws of Argentina, Brazil, Mexico Puerto Rico or Venezuela, other than an Unlevered Subsidiary, and such Subsidiary is not prevented from becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor because of local laws or the existence of minority shareholders (an “Excluded Subsidiary”), the Company shall, after becoming aware of such event, (i) promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such event and (ii) cause such Subsidiary (an “Additional Subsidiary Guarantor”) concurrently to become a Subsidiary Guarantor on a general unsecured senior basis (promptly following the determination in accordance with the terms of this Indenture that such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor) by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Indenture and the Notes, as applicable; provided, however, that each Additional Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from its obligations under such additional note guarantee (“Additional Note Guarantee”) only in accordance with Section 10.2; and provided further that no Officers’ Certificate shall be required solely pursuant to this Section 10.5(a) on the Issue Date.

(b) The Company shall notify, in accordance with Section 11.1, the Holders of any execution of a supplemental indenture pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.5(a); provided that no notice shall be required solely pursuant to this Section 10.5(b) as a result of the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.5(a) on the Issue Date.

(c) To the extent otherwise permitted under this Indenture, the Company may form, create or acquire new Subsidiaries under the laws of Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico or Venezuela that may also be Excluded Subsidiaries, to the extent they are prevented from local law or the existence of minority shareholders from guaranteeing the Notes; provided that the Company provides the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such subsidiary is prevented by local law or the existence of minority shareholders from guaranteeing the Notes.

(a) U.S. Dollars is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor, under or in connection with the Notes, this Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee. Any amount received or recovered in 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, any Subsidiary or otherwise) by any payee in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor shall only constitute a discharge of it under the Notes, this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantee to the extent of the U.S. Dollars amount which such payee 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 such payee is able to do so). If that U.S. Dollars amount is less than the U.S. Dollars amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the Notes, this Indenture, or the Subsidiary Guarantee, the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor shall indemnify the recipient against any loss sustained by it in making any such purchase. In any event, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall indemnify each payee, to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law, against the cost of making any purchase of U.S. Dollars. For the purposes of this Section 11.11, it shall be sufficient for a payee to certify in a satisfactory manner that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. Dollars been made with the amount 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) and that the change of the purchase date was needed.

(b) The indemnities of the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor contained in this Section 11.11, to the extent permitted by law: (i) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes; (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action against the Company; (iii) shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder of the Notes or the Trustee from time to time; (iv) shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under this Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee; and (v) shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE

1. Interest

Xxxxx Dorados Holdings Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company (and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.

The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date of each year, commencing on March 27, 2014. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from September 27, 2013. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal (plus interest on such interest to the extent lawful), at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and, to the extent such payments are lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest (“Defaulted Interest”) without regard to any applicable grace periods at the interest rate shown on this Note, as provided in the Indenture.

All payments made by the Company in respect of the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed or levied by or on behalf of the British Virgin Islands or any jurisdiction where the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is incorporated, resident or doing business for tax purposes or from or through which any payment in respect of the Notes is made by the paying agent or the Company, or any political subdivision thereof (a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), or by any taxing authority of a Relevant Jurisdiction, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event, the Company shall pay to each Holder of the Notes Additional Amounts as provided in the Indenture subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture.

2. Method of Payment

Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the date on which any principal of or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest. The Company shall pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled, repurchased or redeemed after the Record Date and on or before the relevant Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in U.S. Dollars.

Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal and interest) shall be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a Certificated Note (including principal and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that if a Holder of Certified Notes in an aggregate principal amount

A-6

of at least U.S.$1,000,000 has given wire transfer instructions to the Company and the Trustee, the Trustee, as Paying Agent, shall make all principal and interest payments on those Notes in accordance with such instructions.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, Citibank, N.A. (the “Trustee”), shall act as Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. Indenture

The Company originally issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of September 27, 2013 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), between the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. Each Holder by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may issue Additional Notes. All Notes shall be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.

The Indenture imposes certain limitations, subject to certain exceptions, on, among other things, the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to incur Liens, enter into Sale and Lease-Back Transactions, or consolidate or merge or transfer or convey all or substantially all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets.

5. Optional Redemption

Optional Redemption with a Make-Whole Premium. The Company may redeem the Notes on one or more occasions, in whole or in part, at any time, at its option, at a redemption price calculated by the Company equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the outstanding 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 the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

A-7

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC or their respective affiliates which are primary United States government securities dealers and not less than one other leading primary United States government securities dealer in New York City reasonably designated by the Company; provided that if any of the foregoing cease to be a primary United States government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 pm New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

(b) Optional Redemption Upon Tax Event. If the Company determines that, as a result of any amendment to, expiration of, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of any Relevant Jurisdiction, any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any amendment to expiration of, or change in an official interpretation or application of such laws, rules or regulations, which amendment to expiration of, or change of such laws, rules or regulations becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official interpretation or application, is announced or otherwise made available on or after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or on or after the date a Surviving Entity assumes the obligations under the Notes, in the case of a Surviving Entity with a different Relevant Jurisdiction than the Company), the Company (or a Subsidiary Guarantor) would be obligated, to pay any Additional Amounts, provided that the Company, in its business judgment, determines that such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it, including, without limitation, taking reasonable measures to change the Paying Agent, then, at the Company’s option, all, but not less than all, of the Notes may be redeemed at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date due thereon up to but not including the date of redemption; provided that (1) no notice of redemption for tax reasons may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company (or a Subsidiary Guarantor) would be obligated to pay these Additional

A-8

Amounts if a payment on the Notes were then due, and (2) at the time such notice of redemption is given such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this provision, the Company will deliver to the Trustee:

(i)

an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect theredemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the Company’s right to redeem have occurred; and

(ii)

an Opinion of Counsel from legal counsel in a Relevant Jurisdiction (which may be the Company’s counsel) of recognized standing to the effect that the Company has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment.

This notice, once delivered by the Company to the Trustee, will be irrevocable.

(c) Optional Redemption Procedures. If fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected as follows: (1) if the Notes are listed on an exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such exchange, (2) if the Notes are not so listed but are Global Notes, then by lot or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the applicable depositary or (3) if the Notes are not so listed and are not in global form, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the then outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of $100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not $100,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of the Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. After the redemption date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note, representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed, shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption). Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the redemption date, and, commencing on the redemption date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest (unless the company defaults in the payment of the redemption price).

Notice of any redemption shall be sent in the manner provided for in Section 11.1 of the Indenture at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to Holders of Notes to be redeemed. If Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall

A-9

state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, if any, shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note shall be made, as appropriate).

Notes called for redemption shall become due on the date fixed for redemption. The Company shall pay the redemption price for any Note together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through but not including the date of redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the Indenture. Upon redemption of any Notes by the Company, such redeemed Notes shall be cancelled and cannot be reissued.

6. Mandatory Repurchase Provisions

(a) Mandatory Redemption upon Exercise of Call Option. No later than 5 Business Days following the date upon which the Call Option Redemption Event occurs, the Company will provide the Trustee with a notice to redeem all of the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of redemption (the “Call Option Exercise Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Call Option Redemption Event will only occur in connection with the exercise by McDonald’s of the McDonald’s Call Option under the Master Franchise Agreements with respect to the Master Franchisee or the Brazilian Master Franchisee. An exercise by McDonald’s of the McDonald’s Call Option with respect to any other Subsidiary of the Company shall not be treated as a Call Option Redemption Event.

Notes subject to mandatory redemption following a Call Option Redemption Event will become due on the earlier of the date fixed for redemption or the 30th day following the Call Option Redemption Event. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in an amount equal to the Call Option Exercise Payment. Upon redemption of the Notes by the Company, the redeemed Notes will be cancelled. For so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the exchange so require, the Company will cause notices of redemption to also be published as described in the Indenture.

(b) Change Of Control Offer. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000, provided that the principal amount of such Holder’s Note will not be less than U.S.$100,000) of the Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of purchase.

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurred, the Company must make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to a Change of Control Notice. As more fully described in the Indenture, the Change of Control Notice shall state, among other things, the Change of Control Payment Date, which must be no earlier than 30

A-10

days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, other than as may be required by applicable law.

7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Notes are in fully registered form without coupons, and only 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 Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar shall be entitled to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signatures of the transferor and the transferee. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange (i) any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of Notes to be redeemed and ending on the date of such mailing or (ii) any Notes for a period beginning 15 days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date.

8. Persons Deemed Owners

The registered holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

10. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee U.S. Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

11. Amendment, Waiver

(a) Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may, among other things, amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; to provide for the assumption by a Surviving Entity of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture; add any place of payment where the principal of or invest on the Notes is payable; to add Subsidiary Guarantees or additional guarantees with respect to the Notes or release a Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; to secure the Notes; to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; to provide for the issuance of Additional

A-11

Notes; to conform the text of the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the Offering Memorandum; to evidence the replacement of the Trustee as provided for under the Indenture; if necessary, in connection with any release of any security permitted under the Indenture; to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; or to make any other changes which do not adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect.

(b) Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes and (ii) any Default or Event of Default under the Indenture (except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes) may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, no amendment may, among other things, reduce the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest on any Notes; change any place of payment where the principal of or interest on the Notes is payable; reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption, or reduce the redemption price therefor; make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; make any change in the provisions of the Indenture entitling each Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default; amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in respect of a Change of Control Repurchase Event that has occurred; eliminate or modify in any manner a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee which adversely affects Holders in any material respect, except as contemplated in the Indenture; make any change in the Additional Amounts provisions of the Indenture that adversely affects the rights of any Holder or amend the terms of the Notes in a way that would result in a loss of exemption from any applicable taxes; or make any change to the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes that adversely affects the ranking of the Notes (for the avoidance of doubt, a change to the covenants described in Section 3.8 and Section 3.9 of the Indenture does not adversely affect the ranking of the Notes).

12. Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default, which shall result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity and/or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing

A-12

(ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 2.3 Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a) The obligations of the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the Indenture, result in the Guaranteed Obligations not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar illegal transfer under applicable law.

(b) The Additional Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and relieved of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee (except with respect to Guaranteed Obligations that by their terms survive) in the event that:

(iv) there is a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Indenture;

provided, in each case, such transactions are carried out pursuant to and in accordance with all applicable covenants and provisions thereof.

The provisions of this Section 2.4 and Section 10.3 of the Indenture shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Section 2.5 No Subrogation. The Additional Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, such amount shall be held by the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor (duly endorsed by the Additional Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations.
