2.2.2 Form of Reverse of Note

1. This Note is a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company issued in one or more series (the “Securities”) under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of November 21, 2006 (the “Base Indenture”) as supplemented by an Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2010 (the “Eleventh Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to The Bank of New York), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture (the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, herein called the “Indenture”), for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (herein called the “Notes”).

2. The full and punctual payment of the principal and interest and all other amounts payable under this Note is irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor.

3. Additional notes on terms and conditions identical to those of this Note may be issued by the Company without the consent of the Holders of the Notes. The amount evidenced by such additional Notes shall increase the aggregate principal amount of, and shall be consolidated and form a single series with, the Notes.

4. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

5. All payments in respect of the Notes shall be made without withholding or deduction for any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands or Brazil, or any Successor Jurisdiction or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (“Foreign Taxes”) except to the extent that such Foreign Taxes are required by the Cayman Islands, Brazil, such Successor Jurisdiction or any such authority to be withheld or deducted. In the event of any withholding or deduction for any Foreign Taxes, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by the Holders of the Notes after such withholding or deduction equals the respective amounts of principal, premium and interest which would have been receivable in respect of such Notes had no such withholding or deduction (including for any Foreign Taxes payable in respect of Additional Amounts) been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any payment on a Note:

(i)

to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for any such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges in respect of a Note by reason of (A) a connection between the Holder and the Cayman Islands or Brazil other than the mere holding of such Note and the receipt of payments with respect to such Note or (B) failure by the Holder to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Cayman Islands, Brazil or a Successor Jurisdiction, or applicable political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax, of such Holder, if compliance is required by such jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge and the Company has given the Holders at least 30 days’ notice that Holders will be required to provide such certification, identification or other requirement;

(ii)

in respect of any such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges with respect to a Note surrendered (if surrender is required) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice thereof is given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on surrender of such Note for payment on the last day of such 30-day period;

(iii)

in respect of estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed with respect to a Note;

(iv)

in respect of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on the Notes or by direct payment by the Company or the Guarantor in respect of claims made against the Company or the Guarantor;

(v)

where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or

(vi)

in respect of any combination of the above.

Solely for purposes of this paragraph 5, the term “Holder” of any Note means the direct nominee of any beneficial owner of such Note, which holds such beneficial owner’s interest in such Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on the Company’s or the Guarantor’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts set forth in clause (i) above shall not apply if (a) the provision of information, documentation or other evidence described in such clause (i) would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (taking into account any relevant differences between U.S. and Cayman Islands or Brazilian law, regulation or administrative practice) than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law (including tax treaties between the United States and the Cayman Islands or Brazil), regulation (including proposed regulations) and administrative practice.

The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall promptly provide the Trustee with documentation (which may consist of certified copies of such documentation) evidencing the payment of Foreign Taxes in respect of which the Company or the Guarantor has paid any Additional Amounts. Copies of such documentation shall be made available to the Holders of the Notes or the Paying Agent, as applicable, upon request therefor.

The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay all stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar duties, if any, which may be imposed by the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any governmental entity or political subdivision therein or thereof, or any taxing authority of or in any of the foregoing, with respect to the Indenture or the issuance of the Notes or the Guaranty.

All references herein or in the Indenture, to principal or interest in respect of any Note shall be deemed to include all Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect of such principal or interest, unless the context otherwise requires, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding reference to Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraphs are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and, as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title, and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company. However, by making such assignment, the Holder makes no representation or warranty that the Company will be entitled to receive such claim for a refund or credit and incurs no other obligation with respect thereto.

6. All references in the Indenture and the Notes to principal in respect of any Note shall be deemed to mean and include any Redemption Price payable in respect of such Note pursuant to any redemption right hereunder (and all such references to the Stated Maturity Date of the principal in respect of any Note shall be deemed to mean and include the Redemption Date with respect to any such Redemption Price), and all such references to principal, interest or Additional Amounts shall be deemed to mean and include any amount payable in respect hereof pursuant to Section 10.7 of the Base Indenture.

7. The Notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option before the Stated Maturity in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 days’ but no more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders of the Notes, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes and (B) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus accrued interest on the principal amount of such Notes to (but not including) the date of redemption.

If, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulation thereunder) of the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation, administration or application of such laws, rules or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change of such laws, rules or regulations or the interpretation thereof becomes effective on or after the date of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, the Company would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof in excess of those attributable to Cayman Islands or Brazilian withholding tax on the basis of a statutory rate of 15%, and if such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company after taking measures the Company considers reasonable to avoid it, then, at the Company’s option, the Notes may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders of the Notes, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof and any premium applicable thereto, together with accrued interest up to but not including the Redemption Date and any Additional Amounts which would otherwise be payable up to but not including the Redemption Date; provided, however, that (1) no notice of such redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would but for such redemption be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment on the Notes then due, and (2) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

On and after any Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest). On or before the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and (unless the redemption date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest to the Redemption Date on the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

8. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each affected series under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each affected series. The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any affected series under the Indenture on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any affected series under the Indenture on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.

Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

9. As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (i) such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and (iii) the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

10. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

11. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office of the Trustee or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this Series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

12. Prior to due surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

8.4.1 The Guarantor may assume the obligations of the Company for the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on and any other payments with respect to the Securities and the Indenture and for the performance of every covenant of this Indenture and the Securities on the part of the Company to be performed or observed, provided that:

(1) the Guarantor shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the Securities and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed except that (a) the Guarantor shall not assume the obligations of the Company under Section 10.21 and (b) upon the effectiveness of such assumption, Sections 10.18 and 10.22 shall have no further force or effect. The Guarantor’s assumption of these obligations must include the obligation to pay the additional amounts described in Section 10.7 “Payment of Additional Amount”;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Guarantor as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Guarantor at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(3) the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee (x) a certificate signed by two executive officers of the Guarantor and (y) an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing, each stating that the assumption and supplemental indenture comply with this Section 8.4.

Such assumption shall become automatically effective and immediately effective upon execution and delivery to the Trustee of the supplemental indenture as set out in subsection (1) herein. Upon any such assumption, the Guarantor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if the Guarantor had been named as the “Company”, and the Company or any successor Person which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 8 shall be released from its liability as obligor upon the Securities or any coupons appertaining thereto.

8.4.2 No vote by Holders of the Securities approving any of the actions set forth in this Section 8.4 is required, unless as part of the transaction the Company or the Guarantor make changes to the applicable indenture requiring approval of Holders of the Securities as set forth in Section 9.2 herein.”

(b) Article 6 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated by the addition of the following Sections 6.3.12 and 6.3.13 (without any effect on the other sections contained in Article 6 therein):

6.3.13 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; interruption, 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.”
