ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION

BY REFERENCE

Section 1.01 Definitions.

“144A Global Note” means a Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto bearing the applicable Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend and deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the respective Depositary therefor or its nominee that will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A.

“Acquired Debt” means Debt (1) of a Person (including an Unrestricted Subsidiary) existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, whether or not such Debt is Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person or (2) assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person. Acquired Debt shall be deemed to have been Incurred, with respect to clause (1) of the preceding sentence, on the date such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and, with respect to clause (2) of the preceding sentence, on the date of consummation of such acquisition of assets.

“Additional Notes” means additional notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued from time to time under this Indenture in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes.

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings.

“Agent” means any Authentication Agent, Registrar, co-registrar, Transfer Agent, Paying Agent or additional paying agent.

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any Note on any applicable Redemption Date, the greater of:

(1)

1.0% of the principal amount of such Note; and

(2)

the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such Redemption Date of (i) the redemption price of such Note at May 15, 2020 (such redemption price being set forth in the table in Section 3.06), plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such Note through May 15, 2020 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the Redemption Date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Bund Rate as of such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the then outstanding principal amount of such Note.

The calculation of the Applicable Premium shall be performed by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such person as the Issuer shall designate. For the avoidance of doubt, calculation of Applicable Premium shall not be an obligation or duty of the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the Depositary that apply to such transfer or exchange.

“Attributable Debt” means, with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction at the time of determination, the present value (discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease) of the total obligations of the lessee of the property subject to such lease for rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended. Such present value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if such Sale and Leaseback Transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Debt represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capital Lease Obligation.”

“Average Life” means, as of any date of determination, with respect to any Debt, the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the sum of the products of (A) the number of years from the date of determination to the dates of each successive scheduled principal payment (including any sinking fund or mandatory redemption payment requirements) of such Debt multiplied by (B) the amount of such principal payment by (2) the sum of all such principal payments.

“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the U.S. Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the U.S. Exchange Act), such “person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only after the passage of time. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have corresponding meanings.

If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly guarantees Debt of a third Person (excluding credit support for third party customer financing in the ordinary course of business) and such Guarantee or the Debt subject thereto is not otherwise included in the calculation of Consolidated Fixed Charges, the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall give effect to the Incurrence of such guaranteed Debt as if such Person or such Subsidiary had directly Incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed Debt as if such guarantee occurred at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period.

If such a Record Date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act of a Holder may be given before or after such Record Date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act of a Holder, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such Record Date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such Record Date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the Record Date.

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Initial Notes will initially be represented by the Global Notes. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

The Global Notes will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Common Depositary for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream and registered in the name of the nominee of the Common Depositary.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). So long as the Notes are held in global form, the Common Depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, or their respective nominees, as applicable, will be considered the sole Holders of Global Notes for all purposes under this Indenture. Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the Outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby will, upon instruction by the Issuer, be made by the Custodian therefor.

(c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not have any duty or obligation with respect to any such procedures.

An Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

If the Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

The Trustee hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as the initial authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) to authenticate the Notes. A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Authenticating Agent. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

On the Issue Date, the Authenticating Agent shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes for original issue up to €350,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes and, upon delivery of any Authentication Order at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Additional Notes for original issue, or Definitive Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order. Such Authentication Order shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be authenticated, the series and type of Notes, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, and the date from which interest on such Notes shall accrue, whether the Notes are

to be issued as definitive Notes or Global Notes and whether or not the Notes shall bear any legend, or such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request. In addition, such Authentication Order shall include a statement that the Person signing the Authentication Order has (i) read and understood the provisions of this Indenture relevant to the statements in the Authentication Order and (ii) made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to make such statements.

The Authenticating Agent may appoint additional or replacement authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by the Issuer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Trustee. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Authenticating Agent may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Authenticating Agent includes authentication by such agent. The Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.02 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuer will maintain offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Registrar”) and offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”). The Registrar, acting as agent of the Issuer solely for this purpose, will keep a register reflecting ownership of definitive registered notes (the “Definitive Registered Notes”) outstanding from time to time and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee, acting as agent of the Issuer solely for this purpose, shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, acting as agent of the Issuer solely for this purpose, may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer initially appoints Euroclear and Clearstream to act as a Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch to act as Paying Agent and initially appoints Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. to act as the Registrar, the transfer agent (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Transfer Agent”) and the Common Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

Subject to any applicable laws and regulations, the Issuer shall cause the Registrar to keep a register (the “Register”) at its corporate trust office in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of ownership, exchange and transfer of the Notes. Such registration in the Register shall be conclusive evidence of the ownership of Notes. Included in the books and records for the Notes shall be notations as to whether such Notes have been paid, exchanged or transferred, cancelled, lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed and whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so replaced and the Note issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a

record of the Note so cancelled and the date on which such Note was cancelled. Upon demand by the Issuer and for the purpose of any corporate action to be taken in respect of the Notes, the Registrar shall (at the expense of the Issuer) send a copy of the Register reflecting ownership of Definitive Registered Notes outstanding from time to time maintained by it to the Issuer and the Issuer shall keep such copy of the Register at its registered office.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Paying Agent or co-Registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee may appoint a suitably qualified and reputable party to act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07.

Upon notice to the Trustee, the Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent; provided, however, that in no event may the Issuer appoint a Paying Agent in any member state of the European Union where the Paying Agent would be obliged to withhold or deduct tax in connection with any payment made by it in relation to the Notes unless the Paying Agent would be so obliged if it were located in all other member states. For so long as the Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and admitted for trading on its Global Exchange Market and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer will publish a notice of any change of Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent in a daily newspaper having a general circulation in Ireland (which is expected to be The Irish Times) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Irish Stock Exchange (▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇) and, in the case of Definitive Notes, in addition to such publication and posting, mail such notice by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, as it appears on the Register, with a copy to the Trustee.

Payment of principal will be made upon the surrender of Definitive Notes at the office of any Paying Agent. In the case of a transfer of a Definitive Note in part, upon surrender of the Definitive Note to be transferred, a Definitive Note shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the principal amount transferred and a Definitive Note shall be issued to the transferor in respect of the balance of the principal amount of the transferred Definitive Note at the office of any Transfer Agent.

The obligations of the Agents are several and not joint.

Section 2.03 Paying Agent to Hold Money.

The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any

bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch will serve as Paying Agents for the Notes. Money held by a Paying Agent need not be segregated, except as required by law, and in no event shall any Paying Agent be liable for interest on any money received by it hereunder. The Agents will hold all funds as banker subject to the terms of this Indenture and as a result, such money will not be held in accordance with the rules established by the Financial Conduct Authority in the Financial Conduct Authority’s Handbook of rules and guidance from time to time in relation to client money. For the avoidance of doubt, a Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to payments or disbursements (including to the Holders) (i) for which payment instructions are not made or that are not otherwise deposited by the respective times set forth in this Indenture and (ii) until they have confirmed receipt of funds sufficient to make the relevant payment.

The Registrar will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.

Neither the Trustee nor any of its Agents will have any responsibility or be liable for any aspect of the records in relation to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 2.04 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the applicable Depositary to a nominee of the applicable Depositary, by a nominee of the applicable Depositary to the applicable Depositary or to another nominee of the applicable Depositary, or by the applicable Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:

(1) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, the Authenticating Agent and the Registrar notice (i) from Euroclear or Clearstream that they are unwilling or unable to continue to act as depositaries and clearing agencies for the Global Notes, and the Issuer fails to appoint a successor or (ii) from the Common Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Common Depositary and a successor Common Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Common Depositary;

(2) Euroclear or Clearstream so requests following an Event of Default with respect to such Global Notes; or

(3) the owner of a Global Note requests such exchange in writing delivered through either Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, following an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note.

Upon the occurrence of any of the events listed in the preceding clause (1) of this Section 2.04(a), or if the Issuer, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee, Authenticating Agent and the Registrar in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under this Indenture, the Issuer shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the applicable Global Notes tendered in exchange therefor. The Issuer will, at the cost of the Issuer (but against such indemnity as the Registrar or any relevant Agent may require in respect of any tax or other duty of whatever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such exchange), cause sufficient Definitive Notes to be executed and delivered to the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Registrar for registration of the exchange and dispatch to the relevant Holders within 30 days of the relevant event. The Registrar shall, at the cost of the Issuer, deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. Definitive Notes issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its Participants or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Registrar. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.04(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.04(b), (c), (d) or (e) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the applicable Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the U.S. Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

(1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.04(b)(1).

(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.04(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

(A) both:

(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the applicable Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the applicable Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

(ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or

(B) both:

(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the applicable Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the applicable Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

(ii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above; provided that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the U.S. Securities Act.

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the U.S. Securities Act, the Paying Agent shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.04(h) hereof.

(3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.04(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:

(A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

(B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (3) thereof.

(4) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any Holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.04(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Registrar in accordance with Section 2.08 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Registrar to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a

Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Registrar to reflect such increase.

(i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Authenticating Agent will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order or at the Registrar’s request.

(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 4.09 hereof).

(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5) None of the Trustee or the Registrar or the Issuer will be required:

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

Neither the Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any 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, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(10) The Trustee or any Agent may request from the Issuer an Officer’s Certificate and/or Opinion of Counsel before taking any action or refraining from acting pursuant to this Section 2.04.

Section 2.05 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Authenticating Agent except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Paying Agent or Registrar in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.05 as not outstanding (the “Outstanding Notes”). Except as set forth in Section 2.06 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer.

If the principal amount and premium, if any, of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes payable on that date and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.06 Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar, the Authenticating Agent or the Issuer or the Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Registrar’s and Authenticating Agent’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee, the Registrar, the Authenticating Agent or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of each such party to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Registrar, the Authenticating Agent and any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

If, after the delivery of such replacement Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such original Note, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent in connection therewith.

Subject to the provisions of the final sentence of the preceding paragraph of this Section 2.06, every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

For purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have taken any action as herein described, the principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be principal amount of the Notes as of (i) if a Record Date has been set with respect to the taking of such action, such date or (ii) if no such Record Date has been set, the date the taking of such action by the Holders of such requisite principal amount is certified to the Paying Agent and Trustee by the Issuer.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an Agent duly appointed in writing or may be embodied in or evidenced by an electronic transmission which identifies the documents containing the proposal on which such consent is requested and certifies such Holders’ consent thereto and agreement to be bound thereby; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes shown on the register maintained by the Registrar as being owned by the Issuer, or by an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.07 Temporary Notes.

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

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.08 Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Registrar for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Registrar and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the U.S. Exchange Act) in its customary manner unless the Issuer directs the Trustee to deliver cancelled Notes to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Registrar for cancellation.

Section 2.09 Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special Record Date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer will notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment and at the same time the Issuer may deposit with the Paying Agent 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 Paying Agent 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 Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as in this clause provided. The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special Record Date and payment date, provided that no such special Record Date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special Record Date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Common Depositary in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders and the Trustee a notice that states the special Record Date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.10 Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Notes by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors with respect to any Guarantee of the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding (including, without limitation, because the Notes are not listed on the Irish Stock Exchange) or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes unless such withholding or deduction is required by applicable law. If any such withholding or deduction is required to be made and is imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax) (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), we will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on the Notes such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”)as are necessary in order that the net payment by Issuer or any Guarantors of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a holder who is not a U.S. Person, after such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction imposed on such Additional Amounts (to the extent such amounts would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to this section by the Issuer or any Guarantors)) imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, will not be less than the amount provided in such Notes then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts (including any amounts as a result of any withholding or deduction imposed on such Additional Amounts) shall not apply:

(1) to the extent any Tax is imposed by reason of the holder (or the Beneficial Owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

(A)

being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

(B)

having a current or former connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the Notes or the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights under the Notes or any guarantee of the Notes), including being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being treated as or having been a resident thereof;

(C)

being or having been a “10-percent shareholder” of the Issuer as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the Code or any successor provision;

(D)

being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, as described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or any successor provision; or

(E)

being or having been a foreign or domestic personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation for United States income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(2) to any holder that is not the sole Beneficial Owner of the Notes, or a portion of such Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a Beneficial Owner with respect to the holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a Beneficial Owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, Beneficial Owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(3) to the extent any Tax would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or any other person to comply with any applicable certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of the holder or Beneficial Owner of such Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to exemption from or reduction of such Tax (including, but not limited to, the requirement to provide Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successor thereto);

(4) to any Tax that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Issuer or any Guarantor or a Paying Agent from the payment;

(5) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property Tax or similar Tax;

(6) to any Tax required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note as a result of the presentation of any Note for payment (where presentation is required) by or on behalf of a holder of Notes, if such payment could have been made without such withholding by presenting the relevant Note to at least one other reasonably available Paying Agent;

(7) to the extent any Tax would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which 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 would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 15-day period);

(8) to any Tax imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or

(9) in the case of any combination of items (1) through (9) above.

(b) If the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes, each of the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, will deliver to the Paying Agent and the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 45 days prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee promptly after the obligation to pay so arises) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay Additional Amounts to holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contrary herein, references in this Indenture to the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(d) The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this Section 2.10, the Issuer will not be required to make any payment for any Tax imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax.

As used under this Section 2.10 and under Section 3.07 herein, the term “United States” means the United States of America, the states of the United States of America, and the District of Columbia, and the term “U.S. Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Section 2.11 Currency Indemnity

Any payment on account of an amount that is payable in euros which is made to or for the account of any Holder, the Trustee or the Paying Agent in lawful currency of any other jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”), whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the liquidation of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if any, shall constitute a discharge of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligation under this Indenture and the Notes, the Guarantee, as the case may be, only to the extent of the amount of euros which such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, could purchase in the London foreign exchange markets with the amount of the Judgment Currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the first Business Day following receipt of the payment in the Judgment

Currency. If the amount of euros that could be so purchased is less than the amount of euros originally due to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, the Issuer and the Guarantors, if any, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, from and against all loss or damage arising out of, or as a result of, such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Indenture or the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder or the Trustee from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.06 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee and the Common Depositary, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date (and at least five Business Days before the publication of the Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 3.03), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, the redemption date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the redemption price; provided that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or 11 of this Indenture.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee (or the Registrar, as appropriate) will select Notes for redemption or purchase as follows:

(1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis (in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed) or otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which they are listed; or

(2) if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a by lot or pro rata basis, or by such method as the Trustee (or the Registrar, as appropriate) shall deem fair and appropriate, subject to the Applicable Procedures.

Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be liable for any selections made by it in accordance with this Indenture.

In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee (or the Registrar, as appropriate) will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of €100,000 or whole multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof; 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 an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will send or cause to be sent, by first-class mail (or electronic transmission), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or 11 of this Indenture.

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state (including ISIN and Common Code numbers, to the extent applicable):

(1) the redemption date and Record Date;

(2) the redemption price;

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(4) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN or Common Code numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

(9) state if the redemption is a conditional redemption and the timeframe of such condition should be satisfied prior to the redemption date.

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee (or the Registrar, as appropriate) will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer makes such request no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Trustee) prior to the date by which such notice must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 3.03.

For Notes that are in the form of Global Notes held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing or sending in this Section 3.03. So long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, any such notice to the Holders of the relevant Notes shall also be published (by, or at the direction of, the Issuer) in a newspaper having a general circulation in Ireland (which is expected to be The Irish Times) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, posted on the official website of the Irish Stock Exchange (▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇) and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuer will notify the Irish Stock Exchange of the principal amount of the Notes that have not been redeemed in connection with any redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.06.

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

Section 3.04 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

On or prior to 10:00 a.m., London time, one Business Day prior to each redemption or purchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Paying Agent money in same day funds sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be required to pay out any money without first having been placed in funds. If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase unless the relevant Paying Agent is prohibited from making such redemption payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. The Issuer shall procure that, before 10:00 a.m. London time on the third Business Day before each redemption or purchase date, as the case may be, the bank effecting payment to the Paying Agent confirms by authenticated SWIFT message to the Paying Agent the irrevocable payment instructions relating to such payment. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest Record Date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest will continue to be payable on the unpaid principal and premium, if any, including from the redemption date until such principal and premium, if any, is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.05 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is to be redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note equal in aggregate amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.06 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to May 15, 2020, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that the Issuer may give more than 60 days’ prior notice if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture) mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of Notes or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(b) On or after May 15, 2020, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that the Issuer may give more than 60 days’ prior notice if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture), at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below:


Year	Redemption Price
2020		101.625	%
2021		100.813	%
2022 and thereafter		100.000	%

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to May 15, 2020, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture, at a redemption price of 103.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that:

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and of its Subsidiaries); and

(2) the redemption must occur within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Public Equity Offering.

If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption (subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent). On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. Calculation of the Applicable Premium will be made by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as the Issuer shall designate; provided that such calculation or the correctness thereof shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

In connection with any redemption of the Notes (including with the net cash proceeds of a Public Equity Offering), any such redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a sale of common stock or other corporate transaction (including any related Public Equity Offering). In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

In addition, the Issuer may acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

Section 3.07 Redemption for Changes in Taxes.

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including, without limitation, by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice), which change or amendment becomes effective after the date of this Indenture, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Issuer, will likely become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described in Section 2.10 with respect to the Notes, then the Issuer may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes.

The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof) holds, as of 10:00 a.m. London time on such due date (or such other time as the Issuer and the Paying Agent may mutually agree from time to time, but always subject to actual receipt), money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, then due and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee and the applicable Paying Agent of its failure to so deposit. Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 4.01 by the designated Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall make payments on the Notes in accordance with this Indenture. In any event, the Issuer shall, prior to 10:00 a.m. London time on the second Business Day prior to the date on which the Paying Agent receives payment, procure that the bank effecting payment for it confirms by SWIFT message to the Paying Agent that an irrevocable payment instruction has been given. A Paying Agent shall (or the Trustee, if applicable) only be obliged to make a payment under this Indenture if it has actually received cleared, immediately available funds from the Issuer as required under this Section 4.01.

The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

If a Paying Agent pays out funds on or after the due date therefor, or pays out funds (although it is not obligated) on the assumption that the corresponding payment by the Issuer has been or will be made and such payment has in fact not been so made by the Issuer, then the Issuer shall on demand reimburse the Paying Agent for the relevant amount, and pay interest to the Paying Agent on such amount from the date on which it is paid out to the date of reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the cost to the Paying Agent of funding the amount paid out, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) for the Notes in London, England, and for so long as the Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, in Ireland, where (1) Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and (2) notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in London, England, and for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, in Ireland, for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Issuer hereby designates the Office of the Paying Agent as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof.

Section 4.03 SEC Reports.

(1) Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee for forwarding to the Holders of Notes, or file electronically with the Commission through the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor system) (“▇▇▇▇▇”), within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations:

(A) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants; and

(B) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports.

In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Issuer shall file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (A) and (B) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to Holders, securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors have agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, they shall furnish to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the U.S. Securities Act.

The Issuer will also make available copies of all reports required by the second preceding paragraph if and so long as the Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, at the specified office of the Paying Agent in London.

(2) The financial information and reports required by this covenant need not include any separate financial statements of a Guarantor or information required by Rule 3-10 or 3-16 of Regulation S-X (or any successor regulation) so long as such financial information and reports are accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to the Issuer and the Guarantors, on one hand, and the information relating to non-Guarantors on the other hand. The requirements set forth in this Section 4.03 may be satisfied by posting copies of such information on a website (which may be nonpublic and may be maintained by the Issuer or a third party) to which access is given to the Holders, prospective purchasers of the Notes and securities analysts.

(3) Delivery of such reports, information, and documents to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of the covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s compliance with the covenants hereunder or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the Commission or ▇▇▇▇▇ or any website under this Indenture, or participate in any conference calls.

Section 4.04 Limitation on Liens.

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any of its interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, which Liens secure Debt, without securing the Notes and all other amounts due under this Indenture equally and ratably with (or prior to) the Debt secured by such Lien until such time as such Debt is no longer secured by such Lien; provided that if the Debt so secured is subordinated by its terms to the Notes or a guarantee of the Notes, the Lien securing such Debt will also be so subordinated by its terms to the Notes and the guarantees at least to the same extent.

Section 4.05 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback.

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:

(1) the Issuer or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (a) Incurred Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction under the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in the first paragraph of Section 4.11 herein and (b) Incurred a Lien to secure such Debt pursuant to Section 4.04; and

(2) the gross cash proceeds of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property that is the subject of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction.

Section 4.06 [Reserved].

Section 4.07 Compliance Certificate; Statement by Officers as to Default.

(a) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the date hereof (and within 14 days upon a request at any time after such 120 days), an Officer’s Certificate, stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer and each Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Issuer and each Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge).

(b) Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuer shall promptly (and in no event later than 30 days after becoming aware of such Default or Event of Default) deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and the action the Issuer proposes to take with respect to such Default or Event of Default.

Section 4.08 [Reserved].

Section 4.09 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Section 3.06 hereof, the Issuer will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will (i) mail or send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent and (ii) if and so long as the Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, publish a notice of such Change of Control in a newspaper having a general circulation in Ireland (which is expected to be The Irish Times) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, posted on the official website of the Irish Stock Exchange (▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇), in each case, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

(A) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.09 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(B) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

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

(E) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(F) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(G) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to €100,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the U.S. Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

(A) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(B) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered;

(C) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Paying Agent the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Issuer;

(E) in the case of Definitive Registered Notes, deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the relevant Registrar for cancellation all Definitive Registered Notes accepted for purchase by the Issuer.

If any Definitive Registered Notes have been issued, the Paying Agent, if so directed in writing by the Issuer, will, at the expense of the Issuer, promptly mail to each Holder of Definitive Registered Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee, if so directed in writing by the Issuer, will, at the expense of the Issuer, promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Definitive Registered Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any, provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.09, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.09 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (ii) notice of redemption has been given or will be given pursuant to Section 3.06 prior to the date the Issuer is required to send notice of the Change of Control Offer to the Holders of the Notes, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price or (iii) the Issuer effects Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes under Article 8 of this Indenture prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control.

A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement has been executed for a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control Offer.

In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date).

If and for so long as the Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer will publish a public announcement with respect to the results of any Change of Control Offer in a leading newspaper of general circulation in Ireland (which is expected to be The Irish Times) or to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Irish Stock Exchange (▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇).

Section 4.10 Limitation of Guarantees by Subsidiaries.

The Issuer shall not permit any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (other than a Receivables Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, to guarantee (x) Debt of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement and/or (y) other Debt (including commitments in respect thereof) of the Issuer in excess of $100.0 million, in each case, of the Issuer, unless in any such case, such Subsidiary executes and delivers a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, providing a guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Subsidiary (and if such Debt is by its terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, any such guarantee of such Subsidiary with respect to such Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Subsidiary’s Guarantee of the Notes to the same extent as such Debt is subordinated to the Notes).

Section 4.11 Limitation on Incurrence of Debt.

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Debt, and the Issuer will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Interests; provided, that the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur any Debt and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue Preferred Interests, in each case, if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt or issuance of such Preferred Interests and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (determined on a pro forma basis as if any such Debt or any Preferred Interests (including any other Debt or Preferred Interests being Incurred or issued contemporaneously), and any other Debt or Preferred Interests Incurred or issued since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, had been Incurred or issued, as the case may be and the proceeds thereof had been applied at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, and any other Debt repaid since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period had been repaid at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period) would be at least 2.00 to 1.00 and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the Incurrence of such Debt.

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur the following items of Debt (“Permitted Debt”):

(1) Debt Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed, as of any date of incurrence, the greater of $2.5 billion and an amount of Debt such that at the time of Incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio of the Issuer would be no greater than 3.0:1.0;

(2) Debt under the Notes issued on the Issue Date;

(3) Guarantees of the Notes issued on the Issue Date;

(4) Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the Issue Date (other than pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above);

(5) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Debt between or among the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of equity interests that results in any such Debt being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Debt to a Person that is neither the Issuer nor a Restricted Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Debt by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (5); provided that if the Issuer or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Debt and the payee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor, such Debt must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuer, or the guarantee of the Notes, in the case of a Guarantor, except that such subordination requirement shall not be applicable to any such Debt of the Issuer or a Guarantor that is Incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(6) Guarantees by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (a) such Debt is Permitted Debt or is otherwise Incurred in accordance with this Section 4.11, (b) if the Debt being guaranteed is subordinated to the Notes, such Guarantees are subordinated to the Notes to the same extent as the Debt being guaranteed and (c) in the case of any such Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, such guarantee is incurred in accordance with Section 4.10 herein;

(7) Debt Incurred in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance and self-insurance obligations, and, for the avoidance of doubt, indemnity, bid, performance, warranty, release, appeal, surety and similar bonds, letters of credit for operating purposes and completion guarantees provided or Incurred (including Guarantees thereof) by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

(8) Debt under Hedging Obligations;

(9) Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Capital Lease Obligations, Synthetic Lease Obligations or Purchase Money Debt; provided that in each case (i) such Debt is incurred by such Person at the time of, or not later than 120 days after, the acquisition, construction, development or improvement by such Person of the property so financed and (ii) such Debt does not exceed the purchase price of the property (or the cost of constructing, developing or improving the same) so financed;

(10) Debt arising from agreements of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, contribution, earnout, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or Capital Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary otherwise permitted under this Indenture;

(11) the issuance by any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Issuer or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of Preferred Interests; provided, however, that: (a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Interests that results in any such Preferred Interests being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; and (b) any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Interests to a Person that is not either the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Interests by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (11);

(12) Debt arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Debt is extinguished within five business days of Incurrence and Debt arising from negative account balances in cash pooling arrangements arising in the ordinary course of business;

(13) obligations of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of customer advances received and held in the ordinary course of business;

(14) Debt constituting credit support for third party customer financing in the ordinary course of business;

(15) obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal and surety bonds, and performance and completion guaranties (or bank guaranties or letters of credit in lieu thereof) entered into in the ordinary course of business, including those Incurred to secure health, safety and environmental obligations in the ordinary course of business;

(16) Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Debt Incurred pursuant to this clause (16), not to exceed at the time of incurrence the greater of $500.0 million and 8.0% of the Consolidated Total Assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(17) the Incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Debt in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Debt (other than intercompany Debt) that was permitted by this Indenture to be Incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.11 or clauses (2), (3), (4), (9), (16), and (18) and this clause (17) of this paragraph;

(18) the Incurrence of Acquired Debt; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either (x)(i) the Issuer would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt under the first paragraph of this covenant or (ii) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries is equal to or greater than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger or (y) such Debt or Preferred Interests (a) is not Secured Debt and, if constituting Debt, is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the guarantees of the Notes, (b) is not incurred while a Default exists and no Default shall result therefrom, (c) does not mature and does not require any payment of principal prior to the final maturity of the Notes, and (d) is not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition or merger;

(19) Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer supported by a letter of credit or bank guarantee issued pursuant to Credit Facilities in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit;

(20) Debt consisting of (i) the financing of insurance premiums or (ii) take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements, in each case, in the ordinary course of business; and

(21) Debt incurred by a Receivables Subsidiary in a Receivables Facility that is not recourse to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer other than a Receivables Subsidiary (except for Standard Securitization Undertakings).

Notwithstanding the above, Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may not incur Debt or issue Preferred Interests pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.11 or clause (1), (16) or (18) (but only with respect to Debt incurred in contemplation of an acquisition) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”, including in each case Permitted Refinancing Debt thereof, if such incurrence would result in the aggregate outstanding amount of Debt or Preferred Interests of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors Incurred pursuant to such specified provisions of this Section 4.11 or the definition of “Permitted Debt”, at any time of incurrence thereunder, exceeding the greater of $500.0 million and 8.0% of Consolidated Total Assets (the “Non-Guarantor Debt Basket”), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may incur Debt or issue Preferred Interests pursuant to such specified provisions of this covenant and the definition of “Permitted Debt” in amounts that result in exceeding the available amount of the Non-Guarantor Debt Basket, but such excess amounts shall be deemed to constitute Secured Debt secured by Liens incurred pursuant to clause (2) or (27) (at the Issuer’s election) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and shall not be permitted to be incurred to the extent such incurrence would result in the limitations in those clauses of “Permitted Liens” being exceeded.

If the Debt which is the subject of a determination under this provision is Acquired Debt, or Debt Incurred in connection with the substantially contemporaneous acquisition of any Person, business, property or assets, or Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary being designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, then such ratio shall be determined by giving effect (on a pro forma basis consistent with the definition of Pro Forma Cost Savings set forth herein, as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period) to (x) the Incurrence of such Acquired Debt or such other Debt by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (y) the inclusion, in Consolidated Cash Flow, of the Consolidated Cash Flow of the acquired Person, business, property or assets or redesignated Subsidiary.

For purposes of determining any particular amount of Debt under this Section 4.11, guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Debt otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.11, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described above, including categories of Permitted Debt and under the first paragraph of this Section 4.11, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time may reclassify, all or any portion of such item of Debt.

For purposes of determining compliance of any non-U.S. dollar-denominated Debt with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt in this Section 4.11, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall at all times be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was Incurred (or the date such Debt was first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt for which the relevant commitment is denominated in a foreign currency); provided, however, that if any such Debt that is denominated in a foreign currency is subject at the time of such Incurrence to a currency hedging agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering principal payable on such Debt, the principal amount of such Debt expressed in U.S. dollars will be adjusted to take into account the effect of such agreement; provided, further, that if such Debt is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in the same or different currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such indebtedness being refinanced.

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on Debt in the form of additional Debt or payment of dividends on Capital Interests in the forms of additional shares of Capital Interests with the same terms will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this covenant.

The Issuer and any Guarantor will not Incur any Debt that pursuant to its terms is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Debt unless such Debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the guarantees of the Notes at least to the same extent; provided that Debt will not be considered subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Debt solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a greater or lesser extent or with greater or lower priority or by virtue of structural subordination.

Debt under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which the Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture will initially be deemed to have been Incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt.

Section 4.12 Maintenance of Listing.

The Issuer will obtain and maintain the listing of the Notes on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and the admission of the Notes for trading on its Global Exchange Market for so long as the Notes are outstanding; provided that if the Issuer is unable to obtain listing of the Notes on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange or if at any time the Issuer determines that it will not maintain such listing, it will obtain a listing of the Notes on another recognized stock exchange in western Europe prior to the delisting of the Notes from the Global Exchange Market and thereafter the Issuer will maintain such listing.

Section 4.13 [Reserved].

Section 4.14 Covenant Suspension.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from at least two of the Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture then, beginning on that day (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”) and continuing until the occurrence of the Reversion Date, if any, the covenants set forth in Sections 4.05, 4.10 and 4.11 herein will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) two or more of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.”

During the Suspension Period, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be entitled to incur Liens (including, without limitation, Permitted Liens) to the extent provided for in Section 4.04 herein and any Permitted Liens which may refer to one or more Suspended Covenants shall be interpreted as though such applicable Suspended Covenant(s) continued to be applicable during the Suspension Period (but solely for purposes of Section 4.04 and for no other covenant).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes.

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event; provided that no such notification shall be a condition for the suspension of the Suspended Covenants to be effective; provided further that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to inform Holders of the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event.

Section 4.15 Section 4.14 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default so long as the aggregate equity value (measured at the time of each designation) of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries does not at any one time exceed the greater of $400.0 million and 6.25% of Consolidated Total Assets.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Debt of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Debt is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under Section 4.11 herein, the Issuer will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time

designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Debt by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Debt is permitted under Section 4.11 herein, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 6.02 Acceleration of Maturity

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) and (9)) under Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes then outstanding to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee, if given by Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and upon any such declaration such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) or (9) occurs, all unpaid principal of, and accrued interest on, the Notes then outstanding will become due and payable immediately, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

If any Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Issuer with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Issuer would have had to pay if the Issuer then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.06 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs during any time that the Notes are outstanding, by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Issuer with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes, then, the premium specified in this Indenture shall also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of Holders of all Notes, rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any on, or the principal of the Notes.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, including any optional redemption payments or Change of Control payments. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will have the right, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture or exercising any trust or power conferred on such Trustee; provided that the Trustee (i) may refuse to follow any direction that is in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction and (ii) may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any of the Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or pursue any remedy under this Indenture, unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have made written request to such Trustee to pursue such remedy, including, if applicable, to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under this Indenture;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to such Trustee reasonable indemnity and/or security and/or prefunding satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, loss, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(4) such Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such requested proceeding; and

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

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

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), 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 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest specified in Section 6.01(a)(l), (a)(2) or (a)(3) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any Guarantor for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid with respect to the Notes, and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Guarantors, their creditors or their property and may collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under this Indenture out of the estate in any such proceedings, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

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

Section 6.10 Priorities.

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

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof;

Second: to the Agents, their agents and attorneys for amounts due for payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred and all advances made by the Agents and the costs and expenses of collection;

Third: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Fourth: to the Issuer.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

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 and expenses, 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. The foregoing shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

Section 6.12 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

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

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice:

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

(2) the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, with respect to certificates or opinions specifically required to be furnished to it hereunder, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

(2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(3) the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Sections 6.02, 6.04 and/or 6.05 hereof.

The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and/or indemnity and/or prefunding satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense.

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

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document (whether in original or facsimile form including any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper even if it has a monetary limit) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document (including any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness), but the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation except for liability resulting from the Trustee’s willful misconduct, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may retain professional advisors at the expense of the Issuer to assist them in performing their duties. The Trustee may consult with counsel or professional advisors and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the supervision thereof or for the misconduct or negligence of any agent, attorney, delegate or depositary appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

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

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any matter (including a Default or Event of Default) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such matter is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice clearly references the Notes, the Issuer and this Indenture.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified/secured, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian or other Person employed to act hereunder. Absent willful misconduct or gross negligence, each Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent shall not be liable for acting in good faith on instructions believed by it to be genuine and from the proper party.

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

(j) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s 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 Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(k) The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the covenants of the Issuer in Article 4 hereof. In addition, the Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notification identifying the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee will be under no obligation to monitor the financial performance of the Issuer.

(l) The Trustee shall be entitled to assume without enquiry, that the Issuer has performed in accordance with all of the provisions in this Indenture, unless notified to the contrary.

(m) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take the actions enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so and the Trustee will not be answerable other than for its own gross negligence or willful default.

(n) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall not in any event be liable for special indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for loss or damage is made in negligence, for breach of contract or otherwise.

(o) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel, as applicable).

(p) Neither the Trustee the Registrar or the Transfer Agent nor any clearing system through which the Notes are traded shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or liable for compliance, with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect of any transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of interest in any Note.

(q) The Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture.

(r) In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, will be taken.

(s) The Trustee may refrain from taking any action in any jurisdiction if the taking of such action in that jurisdiction would, in its opinion based upon legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction, be contrary to any law or regulation of that jurisdiction or, to the extent applicable, of New York. Furthermore, the Trustee may also refrain from taking such action if it would otherwise render it liable to any person in that jurisdiction or New York or if, in its opinion based upon such legal advice, it would not have the power to do the relevant thing in that jurisdiction by virtue of any applicable law or regulation in that jurisdiction or in New York or if it is determined by any court or other competent authority in that jurisdiction or in New York that it does not have such power.

(t) 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 each Agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(u) The Issuer and the Agents acknowledge and agree that in the event of a Default or Event of Default, the Trustee may, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Agents, require that the Agents act as agents of, and take instructions exclusively from, the Trustee. Prior to receiving such written notice from the Trustee, the Agents shall be the agents of the Issuer and need have no concern for the interests of the Holders.

(v) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or any Agent to be responsible for the payment of any Taxes in relation to its rights and obligations hereunder or in connection with any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

Section 7.03 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 Issuer, a Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes, any statement or recital in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee (through the Issuer having so notified the Trustee), the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 120 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default.

Section 7.06 [Reserved].

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will pay to the Trustee and each Agent from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder in accordance with the fee schedule previously agreed to by the Issuer, Trustee and each Agent, respectively. If the Issuer and the Guarantors default in the payment of compensation to the Trustee or any Agent, then interest at the default rate set forth in this Indenture shall be paid on the defaulted compensation. The Trustee’s and Agents’ compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Trustee and each Agent promptly upon request for all disbursements, advances and expenses properly incurred or made by it including costs of collection, any additional fees the Trustee may incur acting after a Default or an Event of

Default and any fees the Trustee or any Agent may incur in connection with exceptional duties in relation thereto, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the properly incurred compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify each of the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor Trustee and the Agents, and hold it harmless, against any and all Losses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, a Guarantor or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee and each Agent will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee and each Agent to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. At the Trustee’s sole discretion, the Issuer will defend the claim and the Trustee will provide reasonable cooperation and may participate at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Alternatively, the Trustee may at its option have separate counsel of its own choosing and the Issuer will pay the properly incurred fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Issuer will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is, in the opinion of the Trustee, no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee in connection with such defense and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 and any lien arising hereunder will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations pursuant to Article 11 or the termination of this Indenture.

(d) To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) or (9) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(f) The parties to this Indenture agree that, at the request of the Trustee, the fees and expenses payable under this Section 7.07 may be reviewed and increased from time to time in accordance with such Trustee’s then current fee levels. In addition, the Trustee reserves the right at any time and from time to time to charge the Issuer properly incurred additional fees and expenses in respect of the performance by the Trustee of services hereunder in respect of any exercise by the Issuer or the Holders of any call or put option, exchanges, conversions, solicitations, offers, tenders or any other process that requires communication with the Holders or in respect of additional fees incurred after a Default, an Event of Default or for exceptional duties.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

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

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the resigning Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the resigning Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The resigning Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as

Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the resigning Trustee.

(g) The Issuer covenants that, in the event of the Trustee or any Agent giving reasonable notice pursuant to this Section 7.08, it shall use its best endeavors to procure a successor Trustee or Agent to be appointed. If a successor Trustee or Agent is not appointed and does not take office within 30 days after the resigning Trustee or Agent resigns or is removed, the resigning Trustee or Agent may appoint a successor Trustee or Agent at any time prior to the date on which a successor Trustee or Agent takes office. If a successor Trustee or Agent does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee or Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or Agent, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuer.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof or a European Union Member State or a political subdivision thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power.

The parties hereto accept that some methods of communication are not secure and the Trustee or any of its Affiliates shall incur no liability for receiving Instructions via any such non-secure method. The Trustee or any of its Affiliates is authorized to comply with and rely upon any such notice, Instructions or other communications believed by it to have been sent or given by an Authorized Person or an appropriate party to the transaction (or authorized representative thereof). The Issuer or any authorized officer of the Issuer shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that Instructions transmitted to the Trustee or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Indenture are complete and correct.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each Guarantor shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and Article 5 hereof with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof 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 deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(a)(3) through (6) hereof will not constitute an Event of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the Outstanding Notes:

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in euros, non-callable European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date;

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date hereof, 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 confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding

Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will 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;

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will 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;

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

(5) under either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries are a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

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

(7) if the Notes are to be redeemed prior to their stated maturity, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee irrevocable written instructions to redeem all of the Notes on the specified Redemption Date; and

(8) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

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

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable European Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the Outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Subsidiary acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable European Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Indenture or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 8.05 shall survive the resignation or renewal of the Trustee and/or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable European Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any Note pursuant to Section 8.04 and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any euros or non-callable European Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Guarantee or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

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

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

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes or the Guarantees by a successor to the Issuer or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any such Holder;

(5) to (a) comply with Section 4.10 hereof or (b) otherwise add any Guarantor;

(6) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with this Indenture;

(7) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment by a successor Trustee;

(8) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Circular to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Circular was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes, in each case as conclusively evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate; or

(9) to secure the Notes or any Note Guarantee.

For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants described in Article 4 herein (other than pertaining to the payment of the Notes) or any release of the guarantee of the Notes by a Guarantor made in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, shall be deemed to impair or affect any legal rights of Holders of the Notes to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes on or after the due dates therefor.

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02(b) and 12.04 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. After an amendment or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of each Note affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel confirming that all conditions precedent are satisfied with respect to any supplemental indenture and that such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes or a solicitation of consents in respect of Notes, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Notes on equal terms) of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

Upon the request of the Issuer and the Guarantors, accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture by the Issuer, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel documents described in Section 9.04, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may, but will not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

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

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer or the Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes or a solicitation of consents in respect of Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions, or waive any payment, with respect to the redemption of the Notes;

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

(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any such Note or change the time at which any such Note may be redeemed, in each case as described, in Section 3.06 or waive any such redemption payment with respect to the Notes;

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

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

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

(8) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(9) amend the contractual right expressly set forth in this Indenture of any Holder of any Note to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, or interest on, such Notes or the guarantees on or after the respective stated maturity for such principal or interest payment date for such interest expressed in such Note;

(10) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by one of the covenants described in Section 4.09 herein);

(11) amend or modify any of the provisions of this Indenture or the related definitions affecting the ranking of the Notes or any Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes or any Guarantee; or

(12) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note. For such revocation to be effective, the Trustee must receive the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver. If the Issuer elects to fix a record date for such purpose, the record date shall be fixed at such date as the Issuer may designate. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of 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 consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consent from the Holders of the principal amount of Notes required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective also shall have been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (8) of Section 9.02. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.

Section 9.03 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver 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 about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

Section 9.04 Trustee Protected.

Upon written request of the Issuer, accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors or other governing body of the Issuer authorizing the execution and delivery by the Issuer of such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall join the Issuer in signing any such amendment or supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In signing such amendment or supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Article 7) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 9.05 Publication.

The Issuer will inform the Irish Stock Exchange of any material amendment to this Indenture or any supplement thereto. So long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer will also publish a notice of any such material amendment in a newspaper having a general circulation in Ireland (which is expected to be The Irish Times) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, posted on the official website of the Irish Stock Exchange (▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇).

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEE

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

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

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

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that its right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby is hereby subordinated until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby and each Guarantor shall take no action with respect to its right of subrogation until such payment in full of all such guaranteed obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided

in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of the Guarantors not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the U.S. Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the U.S. Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. federal or state law or other applicable law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of each Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

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

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Guarantee, if any, set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 10.04 Guarantor May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor shall sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into, any Person that is (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Affiliate of the Issuer, unless that Affiliate unconditionally assumes all of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and its Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, provided, however, such assumption shall not be required if:

(1) such Person is a Guarantor at the time of the transaction; or

(2) such sale or other disposition is an arms’-length transaction between such Guarantor, the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer and such Guarantor receives consideration equal to the fair market value of the assets transferred.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor shall sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into, any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) other than the Issuer unless immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

(c) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Affiliate, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by each Guarantor, such successor Affiliate will succeed to and be substituted for such Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Affiliate thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

(d) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05 Releases.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee of the Notes by the Issuer or by a Subsidiary of the Issuer executed and delivered on the Issue Date, or thereafter as provided in Section 4.10 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, upon:

(1) the unconditional release of such Subsidiary from its liability in respect of the Debt in connection with which such Guarantee was executed and delivered pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof;

(2) any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary if such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Issuer as a result of such sale or other disposition, or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary to any Person which is not a Subsidiary; provided that (a) such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and (b) such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Subsidiary has been or is being released by the holders of the other Debt so guaranteed;

(3) the Issuer exercises its rights described under Article 8 or all the obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Article 11;

(4) the Issuer designates such Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or

(5) the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary provided that, immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is continuing.

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the release, discharge or termination of a Guarantee in accordance with this Section 10.05; provided that no such notification shall be a condition for the release, discharge or termination of a Guarantee to be effective; provided further that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to inform Holders of the occurrence of the release, discharge or termination of a Guarantee.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(1) either:

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in euros, non-callable European Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire Debt on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(3) the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(4) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee (or the Paying Agent, as appropriate) under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuer must deliver (a) an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied and (b) an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge set forth in clauses (2) and (4) of this Section 11.01 have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 8.06 and 11.02 will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

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

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or European Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or European Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

[Reverse of Note]

3.250% Senior Notes due 2025

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Colfax Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 3.250% per annum from April 19, 2017 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 15, 2017. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.09 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose as provided in the Indenture or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the European Union as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch will act as Paying Agent and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. will act as Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 19, 2017 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the other guarantors party thereto, the Trustee, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

A-4

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. At any time prior to May 15, 2020, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of Notes or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date; provided that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or 11 of the Indenture. On or after May 15, 2020, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (provided that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or 11 of this Indenture), at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below:


Year	Redemption Price
2020		101.625	%
2021		100.813	%
2022 and thereafter		100.000	%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to May 15, 2020, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture, at a redemption price of 103.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that:

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and of its Subsidiaries); and

(2) the redemption must occur within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Public Equity Offering.

precedent). On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. Calculation of the Applicable Premium will be made by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as the Issuer shall designate; provided that such calculation or the correctness thereof shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

(6) REDEMPTION FOR CHANGES IN TAXES. If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including, without limitation, by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice), which change or amendment becomes effective after the date of the Indenture, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Issuer, will likely become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described in Section 2.10 of the Indenture with respect to the Notes, then the Issuer may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

(7) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer will not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(8) OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Section 3.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will (i) mail or send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee and Paying Agent and (ii) if and so long as the Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, publish a notice of such Change of Control in a newspaper having general circulation in Ireland

A-6

(which is expected to be The Irish Times) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, posted on the official website of the Irish Stock Exchange (▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇), in each case, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(9) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notices of redemption shall be given in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Indenture and with the effect of notice of redemption as set forth in Section 3.04 of the Indenture.

(10) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of , 20 , among (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Colfax Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), the Issuer, the Guarantors party hereto, Deutsche Trustee Company Limited, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”), Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as Paying Agent and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. Transfer Agent, Registrar and Authenticating Agent.

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of April 19, 2017 providing for the issuance of 3.250% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Guarantee”); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
