The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Notes annexed as Exhibit A constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules of or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Company or the Guarantor is subject, or usage. The Notes will be issuable in denominations of U.S.$200,000 in principal amount and any multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

(b)     (i)     Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.01(c) below or Section 2.09(b)(iv), each Initial Note or Additional Note will bear the Restricted Legend.

(c)     If the Guarantor determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Guarantor may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) and that the Restricted Legend is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Guarantor may instruct the Trustee in writing to cancel the Note and the Company and the Guarantor may issue to the Holder thereof (or to its transferee), and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company directing authentication, shall authenticate, a new Note of like tenor and amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction.

(d)     By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Legend (or any beneficial interest in such a Note), each Holder thereof and each owner of a beneficial interest therein acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note (and any such beneficial interest) set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note (and any such beneficial interest) only in accordance with this Indenture and such legend.

Each Global Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Certificated Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication; Additional Notes. (a) Two Officers of the Company shall execute the Notes for the Company, by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Company. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

(b)     A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company directing authentication, (manually, electronically or by facsimile) signs the certificate of authentication on the Note, with the signature constituting conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

(c)     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication. The Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will authenticate and deliver:

(i)     Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of U.S.$600,000,000; and

(ii)     Additional Notes from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Company in an Officers’ Certificate, which Additional Notes will have the same terms in all respects as the Initial Notes except that the date of issuance and the first Interest Payment Date for such Additional Notes may differ.  Such Additional Notes, together with the Initial Notes, will be treated as a single class for all purposes and will vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Initial Notes issued under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for United States federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number;

in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, after the following conditions have been met:

(A)     receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company pursuant to Section 11.03 specifying:

(1)     the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated;

(2)     whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes;

(3)     in the case of Additional Notes, that the issuance of such Notes does not contravene any provision of Article 4;

(4)     whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or Certificated Notes; and

(5)     other information the Company may determine to include or the Trustee may reasonably request; and

(B)     receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the Company pursuant to section 11.03 that (i) the form and terms of such Notes have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture and (ii) such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

Section 2.03 Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent; Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) The Company may appoint one or more Registrars and one or more Transfer Agents or Paying Agents, and the Trustee may appoint, with a copy of any such appointment to the Company, an Authenticating Agent, in which case each reference in this Indenture to the Trustee in respect of the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by the Authenticating Agent will be deemed to be references to the Authenticating Agent. The terms “Transfer Agent” and “Paying Agent” include any additional transfer agent or paying agent, as the case may be. The term “Registrar” includes any co-Registrar. The Company and the Trustee will enter into an appropriate agreement with the Authenticating Agent implementing the provisions of this Indenture relating to the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by the Authenticating Agent and the related rights. The Registrar shall provide to the Company and the Trustee, if the Trustee is not the Registrar, a current copy of the Register from time to time upon written request of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be. The Company hereby appoints upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.

(b)     The Registrar shall keep a record of all the Notes and shall make such record available during regular business hours for inspection upon the written request of the Company provided a reasonable amount of time prior to such inspection. Such books and records shall include notations as to whether such Notes have been redeemed, or otherwise paid or cancelled, and, in the case of mutilated, destroyed, defaced, stolen or lost Notes, whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Trustee shall keep a record of the Note so replaced, and the Notes 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. Each Transfer Agent shall notify the Registrar of any transfers or exchanges of Notes affected by it. The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange Certificated Notes for a period of 14 days preceding any date of selection of Notes for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Certificated Notes previously called for redemption.

(c)     All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be delivered by each Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent to the Trustee, and cancelled by the Trustee or remain outstanding as instructed in each case by the Company, upon redemption of any Notes. The Trustee may destroy or cause to be destroyed all such Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange and, if so destroyed, shall promptly deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company upon request.

(d)     Each of the Company and the Guarantor shall comply with applicable backup withholding and information reporting requirements under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to payments made under the Notes or the Note Guarantee (including, to the extent required, the collection of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 and W-9 and the filing of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms 1099 and 1096).

(e)     By 10:00 A.M. New York City time, no later than one Business Day prior to each payment date on any Note, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds a sum in U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due (including any Additional Amounts). The Company shall request that the bank through which such payment is to be made agree to supply to the Paying Agent by 10:00 A.M. New York City time two Business Days prior to the due date from any such payment an irrevocable confirmation (by tested telex) of its intention to make such payment. Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, request the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed, whereupon the Paying Agent shall comply with such request and shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. 

Section 2.04 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company will issue and the Trustee will authenticate, upon provision of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that such Note was lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. An indemnity must be furnished by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company and the Trustee from any loss they may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case the mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay the Note instead of issuing a replacement Note. Each Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost Note shall carry rights to accrued and unpaid interest and to interest to accrue equivalent to the rights that were carried by such Note before such Note was mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost.

Section 2.05 Outstanding Notes. (a) Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for:

(i)     Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for cancellation;

(ii)    any Note which has been replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.04 unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser; and

(iii)    on or after the maturity date or any Redemption Date or date for purchase of the Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, those Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds money sufficient to pay all amounts then due thereunder.

(b)     A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes in respect of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice from the Company that such Notes are so owned will be so disregarded). Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.06 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officers executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution of the temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

Section 2.07 Cancellation. The Company at any time may, but shall not be obligated to, deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. Any Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedures, except to the extent that the Company instructs the Trustee that such Notes shall remain outstanding. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.08 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders, the notice to state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.09 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Company shall cause the Registrar to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Notes, for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Notes. Upon written request from the Company, the Registrar shall provide the Company with a copy of the Register to enable it to maintain a register of the Notes at its registered office.

(b)     (i)     Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend.

(ii)     Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for DTC. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(iv).

(iii)    Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee, each Agent and any of their respective agents as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.

(iv)     If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice or (y) any of the Notes has become immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 6.02, the Company will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Company and the Trustee by the Depositary in writing, and the Trustee will cancel the Global Note. If the Global Note being exchanged does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If such Global Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend.

(v)     None of the Trustee or Agents shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, any Agent Member or other member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or any nominee or participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Global Note or with respect to the delivery to any agent member or other participant, member, beneficial owner or other person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary, subject to its applicable rules and procedures. The Trustee and Agents may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Agent Members and other members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Depositary (or its nominee) may be treated by the Trustee and the Agents as the owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.

(c)     Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

(d)     A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 2.10. The Registrar will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register maintained by the Registrar for the purpose; provided that:

(x)     no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such Register, and

(y)     the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue or cause the registration of the transfer of or exchange of any Note for a period of 14 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee, each Agent and each of their respective agents will treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.

From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.

No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to Section 2.09(b)).

(e)     (i)     Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(ii)     Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name provided in writing by the Depositary of such transferee or owner, as applicable.

(iii)     Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and credit such increase to the account of the Agent Member at the Depositary as instructed in writing by the Holder of the Certificated Note and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

(iv)     Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

(v)     Responsibility and Liability for Actions of Depositary. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

(b)     Subject to Section 2.10(c), the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite column C below.

(1)     No certification is required.

(2)     The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed and executed Regulation S Certificate; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required.

(3)     The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly completed and executed Rule 144A Certificate or (y) a duly completed and executed Regulation S Certificate, or an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. In the event that (i) a duly completed and executed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

(4)     The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed and executed Rule 144A Certificate.

(c)     No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or a successor provision); provided that the Company has provided the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate to that effect, and the Company may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause an Opinion of Counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate. Any Certificated Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend.

(d)     The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Company will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice within a reasonable period of time to the Trustee.

Section 3.01 Additional Amounts. (a) All payments by the Company in respect of the Notes or the Guarantor in respect of a Note Guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which the Company or the Guarantor is organized or is a resident for tax purposes, or any other jurisdiction through which any payments under the Notes are made by or on behalf of the Company, or any political subdivision thereof, having power to tax (a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), unless the Company or the Guarantor is required by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges. In that event, the Company or the Guarantor will make the required deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by Holders of Notes after such withholding or deduction equal the amounts that would have been received in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Amounts”). All references to “Company” (or, as applicable, “Guarantor”) in this Article 3 include any entity that replaces and becomes a substitute for the Company (or, as applicable, the Guarantor), in each case as a result of a substitution or replacement that occurs pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

No such Additional Amounts shall be payable:

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

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

(iii)   in respect of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a Note presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder where the Holder or beneficial owner would have been able to avoid that withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union;

(iv)    in respect of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as of the date of this Indenture (or any amended or successor version), current or future U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder or any official interpretation 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;

(v)     where such Additional Amount is imposed on a payment to, or for the benefit of, a Luxembourg resident individual pursuant to the Luxembourg law of 23 December 2005;

(vi)    to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder where the Holder or beneficial owner is liable for any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges by reason of the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s failure to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction, if (1) compliance is required by the Relevant Jurisdiction, as a precondition to, exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge and (2) the Company has given at least 30 days’ notice that Holders or beneficial owners will be required to provide this certification, identification or other requirement;

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

(viii)   in respect of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of or interest on the Note or by direct payment by the Company or the Guarantor in respect of claims made against the Company or the Guarantor; or

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

(b)     No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment on a Note to a Holder who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that payment would be required by the laws of the Relevant Jurisdiction to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interest holder in a limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder. The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation. Except as specifically provided above, neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

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

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

(d)     For purposes of determining compliance with this Section, in the event that any proposed Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xvii) of Section 4.07(b), or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.07(a), the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to classify such item of Debt at the time of its Incurrence in any manner that complies with this Section or to later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Debt.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a non U.S. currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate determined on the date of Incurrence, in the case of term Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided that if such Debt is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in a non U.S. 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 will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced. The principal amount of any Debt Incurred to refinance other Debt, if Incurred in a different currency from the Debt being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Debt is denominated calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rates as calculated in the first sentence of this Section 4.07(g).

(a)     Except as provided in Section 4.11(b), the Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(ii)     existing under or by reason of applicable law;

(iii)     existing with respect to any Person, or to the Property of any Person, at the time such Person or the Property is acquired by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, which encumbrances or restrictions: (A) are not applicable to any other Person or the Property of any other Person; and (B) were not put in place in anticipation of such event, and any extensions, renewals, replacements or refinancings of any of the foregoing; provided the encumbrances and restrictions in the extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing are, taken as a whole, no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders than the encumbrances or restrictions being extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced;

(x)     required pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 4.12 Section 4.12     Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Resulting in a Rating Decline. Not later than 30 days following a Change of Control that results in a Rating Decline, the Company shall make an Offer to Purchase all outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

(a)     The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Sale unless the following conditions are met:

(i)     The Asset Sale is for fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors;

(ii)     At least 75% of the consideration consists of cash or Cash Equivalents. (For purposes of this clause (ii), the assumption by the purchasers of Debt or other obligations (other than Subordinated Debt) of the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to a customary novation agreement, and instruments or securities received from the purchasers that are promptly, but in any event within 90 days of the closing, converted by the Guarantor to cash, to the extent of the cash actually so received, shall be considered cash received at closing); and

(iii)     Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds may be used (each, a “Permitted Reinvestment”):

(A)     to permanently repay Debt other than Subordinated Debt of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (and in the case of a revolving credit, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder by such amount), in each case owing to a Person other than the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary,

(B)     to acquire or invest in (or within such 360-day period in this clause (iii), the Guarantor’s Board of Directors shall have made a good faith determination to acquire or invest, which acquisition or investment shall be consummated prior to the second anniversary of such Asset Sale) (i) all or substantially all of the assets of a Permitted Business, (ii) a majority of the Voting Stock of another Person that thereupon becomes a Restricted Subsidiary engaged in a Permitted Business, or to make capital expenditures or otherwise acquire long-term assets that are to be used in a Permitted Business or (iii) a Permitted Business Investment; or

(C)     to acquire Productive Assets for the Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this clause (iii), the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Debt or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(b)     Notwithstanding Section 4.13(a) above, the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such clauses to the extent:

(i)     at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets, cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Marketable Securities; and

(ii)     the Asset Sale is for fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor;

provided that any consideration not constituting Productive Assets received by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this clause shall be applied (in the case of cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities within 360 days after the receipt thereof) in accordance with Section 4.13(iii) above.

(c)     The Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale not applied pursuant to Section 4.13(a)(iii) within 360 days of the Asset Sale constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Excess Proceeds of less than U.S.$50.0 million (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination) will be carried forward and accumulated. When accumulated Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds such amount, the Guarantor must, within 30 days, make an Offer to Purchase Notes having a principal amount equal to accumulated Excess Proceeds, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all pari passu Debt similarly required to be repaid, redeemed or tendered for in connection with the Asset Sale, rounded down to the nearest U.S.$1,000.

The purchase price for the Notes will be 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase. If the Offer to Purchase in connection with an Asset Sale is for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Guarantor will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of U.S.$1,000 principal amount will be purchased, provided that after a purchase from a Holder in part, such Holder shall hold U.S.$200,000 in principal amount of Notes or a multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. The Guarantor will obtain all necessary consents and regulatory approvals from the Central Bank of Brazil for the remittance of funds outside Brazil prior to making any Offer to Purchase. Any failure to obtain such consents and approvals will constitute an Event of Default. Upon completion of the Offer to Purchase, Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(b)     In any Related Party Transaction or series of Related Party Transactions with an aggregate value in excess of U.S.$50.0 million (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination), the Guarantor must first deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such transaction or series of related transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction and is otherwise compliant with the terms of this Indenture.

(c)     The foregoing paragraphs of this Section 4.14 do not apply to:

(i)     any transaction between the Guarantor and any Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries and the Guarantor;

(ii)     the payment of reasonable and customary regular fees to directors of the Guarantor who are not employees of the Guarantor;

(iii)     any issuance or sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock);

(iv)     transactions or payments pursuant to any employee, officer or director compensation or benefit plans, customary indemnifications or arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(v)     transactions pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date and described in the Offering Memorandum, as amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreements, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those in effect on the date of this Indenture;

(vi)     any Sale Leaseback Transaction otherwise permitted under Section 4.10 if such transaction is on market terms;

(vii)     any advance, loan or other extension of credit (or Guarantee thereof) in connection with the use of the proceeds of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) as well as additional loans outstanding from the Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to an Affiliate to the extent that any such advance, loan or other extension of credit (i) has a Stated Maturity that is prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes and (ii) is on market terms;

(viii)     (A) transactions with customers, clients, distributors, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and on market terms, or (B) transactions with joint ventures or other similar arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business, on market terms and consistent with past practice or industry norms;

(ix)     the Joint Venture and any transactions or provision of services related thereto;

(x)     the provision of administrative services to any joint venture or Unrestricted Subsidiary on substantially the same terms provided to or by Restricted Subsidiaries;

(xi)     any sale, conveyance, transfer, distribution or other disposition of the Capital Stock (and the proceeds thereof) of Cosan Lubes Investments Limited or Cosan Lubrificantes e Especialidades S.A. (or any entity whose sole assets consist of all or a portion of the assets or business of Cosan Lubes Investments Limited or Cosan Lubrificantes e Especialidades S.A.) (whether by sale, merger, spin-off, split-off or otherwise) to the shareholders of Cosan S.A. (the “Lubricant Disposal”); and

(xii)     any sale, conveyance, transfer, distribution or other disposition of the Capital Stock (and the proceeds thereof) of Radar Propriedades Agrícolas S.A., Radar II Propriedades Agrícolas S.A., Tellus Brasil Participações S.A., Janus Brasil Participações S.A., Gamiovapar Empreendimentos e Participações S.A., Duguetiapar Empreendimentos e Participações S.A., Nova Santa ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ S.A., Nova Agrícola ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ S.A., Nova Amaralina S.A.

(or any entity whose sole assets consist of all or a portion of the assets or business of the entities mentioned herein) (whether by sale, merger, spin-off, split-off or otherwise) to the shareholders of Cosan S.A. and its other shareholders (the “Radar Disposal”).

Section 4.15  Section 4.15   Maintenance of Books and Records. The Guarantor shall keep, and shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to keep, proper books of record and account in which, true and correct entries, in all material respects, shall be made of dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Guarantor to perform its respective obligations under this Indenture.

(a)     The Guarantor will provide the Trustee with the following:

(i)     an English language version of its annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS promptly upon such financial statements becoming available but not later than 120 days after the close of its fiscal year;

(ii)     an English language version of its unaudited quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS promptly upon such financial statements becoming available but not later than 60 days after the close of each fiscal quarter (other than the last fiscal quarter of its fiscal year);

(iii)     simultaneously with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in clause (a)(i) above, an Officers’ Certificate stating whether an Event of Default exists on the date of such certificate and, if an Event of Default exists, setting forth the details thereof and the action which the Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto;

(iv)     without duplication, English language versions or summaries of such other reports or notices as may be filed or submitted by (and promptly after filing or submission by) the Guarantor with any stock exchange on which the Notes may be listed (in each case, to the extent that any such report or notice is generally available to its security holders); and

(v)     as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 calendar days after any director or executive officer of the Company or the Guarantor becomes aware of the existence of an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details thereof and the action which the Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b)     If the Guarantor makes available the reports described in Section 4.16(a)(i), Section 4.16(a)(ii) or Section 4.16(a)(iv) on the Guarantor’s website and notifies the Trustee in writing thereof, it will be deemed to have satisfied the reporting requirement set forth in such applicable clause.

(c)     Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in this Section 4.16 (except the Officers’ Certificates described in Section 4.16(a)(iii) and Section 4.16(a)(v) above) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s, the Guarantor’s or any of the Guarantor’s subsidiaries’ or any other Person’s compliance with any of their covenants in this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates), provided that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether such information, documents or reports have been delivered as described above or posted on any website.

(d)     For so long as the Notes are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144A(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Guarantor will furnish upon request to any Holder of a Note, or to any prospective purchasers designated by such Holder of Notes, financial and other information described in paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A with respect to the Company and the Guarantor.

(a)     engage in any business except for:

(i)     the issuance, sale, redemption, repurchase or defeasance of the Notes, Additional Notes and any other Debt not otherwise prohibited for the Company by this Indenture and any activities incidentally related thereto;

(ii)     entering into Affiliate loans and cash management transactions, including import and export financing transactions, and any activities reasonably related thereto;

(iii)     entering into Hedging Agreements not for speculation; and

(iv)     as required by law;

(b)     create, assume, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any properties or assets whatsoever, except for any liens permitted under Section 4.09; and

(c)     enter into any consolidation, merger, amalgamation or other form of combination with any Person except for a Restricted Subsidiary that assumes the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture (to the extent the Company is not the surviving entity).

(a)     The Company agrees, for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Notes, that, until all of the Notes are no longer outstanding or until moneys for the payment of all of the principal of and interest on all Notes (and Additional Amounts, if any) shall have been made available at an office of the Paying Agent, and shall have been returned to the Company as provided herein, whichever occurs earlier, there shall at all times be a Paying Agent and Transfer Agent hereunder. Each of the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent shall have the respective powers and authority granted to and conferred upon them herein and in the Notes.

(b)     The Company hereby initially appoints the Paying Agent and Transfer Agent defined in this Indenture as such. The Paying Agent shall arrange with the Paying Agents for the payment, from funds furnished by the Company to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Indenture, of the principal of and interest on the Notes (and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to the Notes).

(a)     From any date (the “Suspension Date”) and during any time that the Notes have an Investment Grade rating from any two Rating Agencies, and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.07, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b)     In the event that the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”), the Notes cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from any two Rating Agencies, then the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with any of the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

(c)     On the Reversion Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.07(a) or clauses (i) through (xvii) of Section 4.07(b) (to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to the Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Debt would not be permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.07, such Debt will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.07(b)(vii). The Company or the Guarantor will give the Trustee prompt written notification upon the occurrence of a covenant suspension. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants are in full force and effect. The Company or the Guarantor will give the Trustee prompt written notification upon the occurrence of any Reversion Date. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume that the Suspension Period continues to remain in effect. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if any of the events described in this Section 4.20 have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Guarantor’s, the Company’s or any other Person’s future compliance with its covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of the commencement of any Suspension Period or any Reversion Date.

(1)     such documents will be executed by the Substituted Issuer, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee as may be necessary to give full effect to the substitution, including a Supplemental Indenture under which the Substituted Issuer expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (collectively, the “Issuer Substitution Documents”); and pursuant to which the Substituted Issuer shall undertake in favor of each Holder and the Trustee to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Notes and the provisions of this Indenture as fully as if the Substituted Issuer had been named in the Notes and in this Indenture as the principal debtor in respect of the Notes in place of the Company (or any previous substitute) and pursuant to which the Guarantor shall unconditionally and irrevocably reaffirm its Note Guarantee in favor of the Trustee and each Holder the payment of all sums payable by the Substituted Issuer as the principal debtor in respect of this Indenture and the Notes on the same terms mutatis mutandi as the Substituted Issuer;

(2)     if the Substituted Issuer is organized in a jurisdiction other than Luxembourg, the Issuer Substitution Documents will contain covenants (i) to ensure that each Holder of Notes has the benefit of a covenant in terms corresponding to the obligations of the Company, in respect of the payment of Additional Amounts; and (ii) to indemnify the Holders of Notes and the Trustee and each Paying Agent against all taxes or duties that arise by reason of a law or regulation in effect on the effective date of the substitution that are incurred or levied against such Holder, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as applicable, in Luxembourg as a result of the substitution and that would not have been so incurred or levied had the substitution not been made;

(3)     the Substituted Issuer shall have promptly delivered, or procured the prompt delivery, to the Trustee of a legal opinion from a firm of lawyers in the country of incorporation of the Substituted Issuer, to the effect that the Issuer Substitution Documents were duly authorized and executed by the Substituted Issuer;

(4)     the Issuer shall have promptly delivered, or procured the prompt delivery, to the Trustee of a legal opinion from a firm of Brazilian lawyers acting for the Guarantor to the effect that the Issuer Substitution Documents were duly authorized and executed by the Guarantor;

(5)     the Company shall have promptly delivered, or procured the prompt delivery, to the Trustee of a legal opinion from a firm of New York lawyers to the effect that the Issuer Substitution Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto under New York law;

(6)     the Substituted Issuer shall have appointed a process agent in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York to receive service of process on its behalf in relation to any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes or the Issuer Substitution Documents;

(7)     no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing in respect of the Notes; and

(8)     the substitution shall comply with all applicable requirements under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Substituted Issuer, Luxembourg and Brazil.

(b)     Upon the execution of the Issuer Substitution Documents as referred to in clause (a) above, the Substituted Issuer shall be deemed to be named in this Indenture and the Notes as the principal debtor in place of the Company (or of any previous substitute under this Indenture) and the Notes shall thereupon be deemed to be amended to give effect to the substitution. The execution of the Issuer Substitution Documents shall operate to release the Company (or such previous substitute as aforesaid) from all its obligations in respect of the Notes and this Indenture, including its obligation to indemnify the Trustee and the Agents under this Indenture.

(c)     The Issuer Substitution Documents shall be deposited with and held by the Trustee for so long as any Note remains outstanding and for so long as any claim made against the Substituted Issuer or the Company by any Holder in relation to the Notes or the Issuer Substitution Documents shall not have been finally adjudicated, settled or discharged.

(d)     The replacement and substitution of the Company pursuant to this Section 4.21 does not require the consent of the Holders (and by subscribing for or purchasing any Notes, each Holder of the Notes expressly consents to such replacement and substitution).

(e)     No later than ten Business Days after the replacement and substitution of the Company pursuant to this Section 4.21, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holders of the Notes in accordance with the provisions described in Section 11.02.

(a)     The Guarantor will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or lease all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person unless:

(i)     either: (x) the Guarantor is the continuing Person; or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Guarantor) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil or any political subdivision thereof, the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, or any other country that is a member country of the European Union or of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development on the date of this Indenture and expressly assumes by Supplemental Indenture all of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Indenture and the Note Guarantee;

(ii)     immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(iii)     immediately after giving effect to the transaction on a pro forma basis, the Guarantor or the resulting surviving or transferee Person (i) could Incur at least U.S.$1.00 of Debt under the covenant described under Section 4.07(a) or (ii) would not have a greater Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio set forth in Section 4.07(a) than immediately prior to giving effect to the transaction; and

(iv)     the Guarantor or the surviving entity, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger or transfer and the Supplemental Indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture;

provided that, clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not apply to the consolidation or merger of the Guarantor with or into a Restricted Subsidiary or the consolidation or merger of a Restricted Subsidiary with or into the Guarantor, and provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Article 5, the Lubricant Disposal and the Radar Disposal shall be deemed not to constitute the Guarantor consolidating with, merging with or into, selling, conveying, transferring, or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor.

(b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, this covenant will not apply to any sale, conveyance, transfer, or disposition resulting from the exercise of any put or call options (an “Option Exercise”) by the Guarantor, Shell or any other party to the definitive agreements to the Joint Venture if either (i) such Option Exercise does not result in a Rating Decline or (ii) within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from such Option Exercise, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor uses the Net Cash Proceeds for a Permitted Reinvestment.

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