The terms and provisions contained in the form of Notes set forth in Exhibit A shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the Authorized Officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, or as may be required by the Depositary or as may be required for the Initial Notes to be tradeable on any other market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

(b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated herein, all of the Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary.

The aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, in accordance with the instructions given by the Holder thereof, as hereinafter provided.

Initial Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Offshore Global Notes”), registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter

provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Offshore Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

The U.S. Global Notes and the Offshore Global Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Global Notes.” The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in the Indenture, beneficial owners of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Note.

Any Global Note shall represent such of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. Payment of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note.

Section 2.06. Restrictive Legends. (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) below, each U.S. Global Note and each Offshore Global Note shall bear the restricted legends (the “Restricted Legends”) as set forth in the form of Exhibit A hereto on the face thereof.

(b) In the case that (i) the Company determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require) that any Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) and that the Restricted Legend is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of such Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, or (ii) an Initial Note is (x) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise, or (y) exchanged for an Exchange Note, the Company may instruct the Trustee to cancel such Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to its transferee) a new Note of like tenor and amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction. If a Note to be reissued under this Section 2.06(b) without a Restricted Legend is represented by a Global Note bearing the Restricted Legend, the principal amount of the legended Global Note shall be reduced by the principal amount of the Note to be reissued without the Restricted Legend and the principal amount of a Global Note without the Restricted Legend of the appropriate series of Securities shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a Global Note without the Restricted Legend of the appropriate series of Securities is not then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a Global Note of the appropriate series of Securities without the Restricted Legend to the Depositary.

Section 2.07. Transfer Restrictions. (a) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Supplemental Indenture and in the Restricted Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Supplemental Indenture and the Restricted Legend. The Company and the Trustee as Security Registrar for the Notes shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Supplemental Indenture and the Restricted Legend. In connection with any transfer of Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Notes to furnish the Trustee as Security Registrar for the Notes or the Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Trustee shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Company with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

The transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in an Offshore Global Note for a beneficial interest in a U.S. Global Note may only be made upon receipt by the Trustee of a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate.

The transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in a U.S. Global Note for a beneficial interest in an Offshore Global Note may only be made upon receipt by the Trustee of a duly completed Registration S Certificate.

During the 40–day “distribution compliance period” within the meaning of Regulation S, beneficial interests in an Offshore Global Note shall be held through the Depositary only through Euroclear and Clearstream, and their respective direct and indirect participants.

The Trustee shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to the Indenture or this Section 2.07(a). 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 Trustee.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among members of, or participants in, the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests 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 terms of, the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(b) The following provisions shall apply only to Global Notes:

(i) Each Global Note authenticated under this Supplemental Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or Trustee if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Supplemental Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof except as provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

(iii) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Indenture.

(iv) At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been redeemed, repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is redeemed, repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Notes in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Trustee, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

Section 2.08. Transfers and Exchanges. The Notes shall be transferred and exchanged by the Holders thereof and the Trustee in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.05 the Indenture.

Section 2.09. Additional Interest.

If a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs with respect to a series of Notes, the interest rate borne by the Notes of such series shall be increased as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 5.05. Separability.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes, but this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

Section 5.06. Counterparts.

REVERSE OF NOTE

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ B.V.

4.750% Note due 2010

Guaranteed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ International Inc.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of October 5, 2005, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 5, 2005 (both together herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ International Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect parent company of the Company (the “Guarantor”), and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor and the Holders of the Securities. This Note is one of a Guaranteed Series of Securities of the Company designated as the 4.750% Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, subject to the issuance of additional Notes as provided in the Indenture. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.

If any interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date of this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after the interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day. As used in this Note, the term “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the City of New York.

To secure the due and punctual payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, if any, and any Additional Amounts payable with respect to, this Note by the Company under the Indenture, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, by call for redemption or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Guarantor has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed this Note pursuant to the terms of the Parent Guarantee endorsed hereon (the “Parent Guarantee”) and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for the defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Notes and the Parent Guarantee or certain covenants set forth in the Indenture applicable to the Notes upon compliance by the Company or the Guarantor of certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

This Note is redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time (an “Optional Redemption”), at a redemption price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:

A-6

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, or

(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon 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 12.5 basis points, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity 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.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a 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 the Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Company 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 Dealers” means (1) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and its successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (“Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) at the option of the Company, additional Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. New York time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

Any redemption pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice before the redemption date to the Holders, at the Optional Redemption Price. If the Notes are only partially redeemed by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Notes will be redeemed by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and in accordance with the Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

A-7

This Note is redeemable in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Company, at any time (an “Optional Tax Redemption”), if

(i) the Company would be required to pay Additional Amounts as a result of any change in the tax laws of The Netherlands that becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of this Note, or

(ii) as a result of any change in any treaty affecting taxation to which The Netherlands, or a jurisdiction in which a successor to the Company is organized, is a party that becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of the Notes, the Guarantor would be required to deduct or withhold tax on any payment to the Company to enable it to make any payment of principal or interest,

at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Any Optional Tax Redemption pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice before the redemption date to the Holders. With respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, however, the Company will not be permitted to redeem the Notes if it can avoid either the payment of Additional Amounts, or deductions or withholding, as the case may be, by using reasonable means available to it.

[TO BE INCLUDED IN INITIAL NOTES, NOT EXCHANGE NOTES: In the event that a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, then the Company shall pay Additional Interest (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), in addition to the interest otherwise due hereon, to the Holder as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.]

[TO BE INCLUDED IN EXCHANGE NOTES: There shall also be payable in respect of this Note all Additional Interest (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that may have accrued on the Note for which this Note was exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such Additional Interest to be calculated in accordance with the terms of such Note and payable at the same time and in the same manner as periodic interest on this Note.]

If an Event of Default, with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of this Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of such series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding

A-8

sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts with respect to, the Notes. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, this Note in the manner and at the respective times herein provided.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and any multiple of $1,000 at the office or agency of the Trustee in the City of New York, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations.

There is no sinking fund for the retirement of the Notes.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Trustee in the City of New York, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment for registration or transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue), for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and, any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Notes and for all other purposes, and neither the Company, the Guarantor nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future stockholder, employee, officer or director, as such, of the Company, the Guarantor, or of any predecessor or successor, either directly or through the Company, the Guarantor, or any predecessor or successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.

This Note is the senior unsecured obligation of the Company and will rank on a parity with all other senior unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company, including any other Securities issued under the Indenture. The Parent Guarantee is the senior unsecured

A-9

obligation of the Guarantor and will rank equally with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantor.

This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances as permitted by the Indenture and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary.

GUARANTEE, dated as of October 5, 2005 of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ INTERNATIONAL INC., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Guarantor”).

The Guarantor, for value received, hereby agrees as follows for the benefit of the holders of record (the “Holders”) from time to time of the Securities hereinafter described:

1. The Guarantor irrevocably guarantees payment in full, as and when the same becomes due and payable (whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise), of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the 4.750% Notes due 2010 (the “Securities”) issued by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ B.V., a private company with limited liability organized under the laws of The Netherlands and an indirect wholly–owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (the “Issuer”), from time to time pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 5, 2005, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 5, 2005, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, among the Issuer, the Guarantor and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust Company, National Association (collectively, the “Indenture”).

2. The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any provision of the Indenture or the Securities.

3. This Guarantee is a guaranty of the due and punctual payment (and not merely of collection) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities by the Issuer and shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts have been validly, finally and irrevocably paid in full, and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance or condition whatsoever, including without limitation (i) the absence of any action to obtain such amounts from the Issuer, (ii) any variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release of any or all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture or the Securities or of any collateral security therefor (provided, however, that no such variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Securities, or increase the interest rate thereon, or change any redemption provisions thereof (including any change to increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof), or change the stated maturity thereof) or (iii) any change in the existence or structure of, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, the Issuer or by any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. The Guarantor waives all requirements as to diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of any kind with respect to the Indenture and the Securities.

4. In the event of a default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Securities, the Holders of such Securities may institute legal proceedings directly against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer.

D-1

5. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the date upon which the entire principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities have been, or have been deemed pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII of the Indenture to have been, paid in full or otherwise discharged; provided, however, that this Guarantee shall be reinstated if at any time any payment by the Issuer of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

6. This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as applied to contracts made and performed within the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

7. (a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan.

(b) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation System, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and its properties, service for any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action, suit or proceeding brought in the courts listed in Section 7(a) hereof which may be made on such designee, appointee and agent in accordance with legal procedures prescribed for such courts, with respect to any action, suit or proceeding in connection with or arising out of this Guarantee. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent hereunder shall cease to be available to act as such, the Guarantor agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in the City of New York on the terms and for the purposes of this Section 7. The Guarantor further hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents out of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action, suit or proceeding by serving a copy thereof upon the agent for service of process referred to in this Section 7 (whether or not the appointment of such agent shall for any reason prove to be ineffective or such agent shall accept or acknowledge such service) or by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in or designated pursuant to this Guarantee. The Guarantor agrees that the failure of any such designee, appointee and agent to give any notice of such service to the Guarantor shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Holders of any Securities to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the undersigned or bring actions, suits or proceedings against the undersigned in such other jurisdictions, and in such other manner, as may be permitted by applicable law. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee brought in the courts listed in Section 7(a) and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

D-2

8. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities shall have been paid in full.
