“Comparable German Bund Issue” means the German Bundesanleihe security selected by any Reference German Bund Dealer as having a fixed maturity most nearly equal to the period from such redemption date to January 1, 2024, and that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of euro denominated corporate debt securities in a principal amount approximately equal to the then

-5-

“Comparable German Bund Price” means, with respect to any relevant date, the average of all Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations for such date (which, in any event, must include at least two such quotations), after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations, or if the Issuer obtains fewer than four such Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period:

(c)    Consolidated Interest Expense;
(d)    Consolidated Income Tax Expense (other than income tax expense (either positive or negative) attributable to extraordinary gains or losses); and
(2)    less non-cash items increasing Consolidated Net Income for such period, other than (a) the accrual of revenue consistent with past practice, and (b) reversals of prior accruals or reserves for cash items previously excluded in the calculation of Consolidated Non-cash Charges.
In calculating “Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges” for any period, if any Asset Disposition or Asset Acquisition (whether pursuant to a stock or an asset transaction) shall have occurred since the first day of any twelve month period for which the “Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges” is being calculated, such calculation shall give pro forma effect to such Asset Disposition or Asset Acquisition including, for the avoidance of doubt, any indebtedness incurred in connection with such Asset Disposition or Asset Acquisition.
For the purposes of calculating “Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges,” “Asset Acquisition” means any acquisition of property or series of related acquisitions of property that constitutes all or substantially all of the assets of a business, unit or division of a Person or constitutes all or substantially all of the common stock (or equivalent) of a Person; and “Asset Disposition” means any disposition of property or series of related dispositions of property that involves all or substantially all of the assets of a business, unit or division of a Person or constitutes all or substantially all of the common stock (or equivalent) of a Subsidiary.

“Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means the ratio of Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges of Parent and its Subsidiaries during the most recent four consecutive full fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available (the “Four-Quarter Period”) ending on or prior to the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (the “Transaction Date”) to Consolidated Fixed Charges of Parent and its Subsidiaries for the Four-Quarter Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the definitions of “Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges” and “Consolidated Interest Expense” (and all component definitions referenced in such definitions), whenever pro forma effect is to be given to the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness or the issuance or redemption of Preferred Stock, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible officer of Parent.
For purposes of this definition, Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges and Consolidated Fixed Charges shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to the incurrence of any Indebtedness or the issuance of any Preferred Stock of Parent or any Subsidiary (and the application of the proceeds thereof) and any repayment of Indebtedness or redemption of other Preferred Stock (and the application of the proceeds therefrom) (other than the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes pursuant to any revolving credit arrangement) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such incurrence, repayment, issuance or redemption, as the case may be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period.
In calculating Consolidated Fixed Charges for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio:
(a)    interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date (although interest with respect to any Indebtedness for periods while the same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual rates applicable thereto while the same was actually outstanding);
(b)    if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period (although interest with respect to any Indebtedness for periods while the same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual rates applicable thereto while the same was actually outstanding); and
(c)    notwithstanding clause (a) or (b) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements

-7-


relating to Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of these agreements.
“Consolidated Fixed Charges” for any period means the sum, without duplication, of (a) Consolidated Interest Expense of Parent and the Subsidiaries for such period, plus (b) the product of (a) all dividend payments on any series of Disqualified Equity Interests of Parent or any Subsidiary or any Preferred Stock of any Subsidiary (other than any such Disqualified Equity Interests or any Preferred Stock held by Parent or a Subsidiary or to the extent paid in Qualified Equity Interests) for such period, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the then current combined federal, state and local statutory tax rate of Parent and the Subsidiaries, expressed as a decimal.
“Consolidated Income Tax Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any period the provision for federal, state, local and foreign income taxes of such Person and its Subsidiaries for such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.
“Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the interest expense of such Person and its Subsidiaries for such period, on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with GAAP (including amortization of original issue discount and deferred financing costs, non-cash interest payments, the interest component of all payments associated with Capitalized Lease Obligations, capitalized interest, net payments, if any, pursuant to interest rate-related Hedging Obligations and imputed interest with respect to Attributable Indebtedness but excluding write-offs associated with the amendment and restatement or repayment of indebtedness).
“Consolidated Net Income” means, with respect to any Person, for any period, the consolidated net income (or loss) of such Person and its Subsidiaries for such period as determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted, to the extent included in calculating such net income, by excluding, without duplication:
(1)    all extraordinary gains or losses (net of fees and expenses relating to the transaction giving rise thereto);
(2)    the portion of net income of such Person and its Subsidiaries allocable to minority interests in unconsolidated Persons to the extent that cash dividends or distributions have not actually been received by such Person or one of its Subsidiaries;
(3)    gains or losses in respect of any sales of capital stock or asset sales outside the ordinary course of business (including in a Sale and Leaseback Transaction) by such Person or one of its Subsidiaries (net of fees and expenses relating to the transaction giving rise thereto), on an after-tax basis;
(4)    any gain or loss realized as a result of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles;

-8-


(5)    any fees, expenses and other costs incurred or paid (and write-offs recorded) in connection with the offering of the Notes, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or other Indebtedness;
(6)    nonrecurring or unusual gains or losses;
(7)    the net after-tax effects of adjustments in the inventory, property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets line items in such Person’s consolidated financial statements pursuant to GAAP resulting from the application of purchase accounting or the amortization or write-off of any amounts thereof;
(8)    any fees and expenses incurred (and write-offs recorded) during such period, or any amortization thereof for such period, in connection with any acquisition, investment, asset sale, issuance or repayment or amendment or restatement of indebtedness, issuance of stock, stock options or other equity-based awards, refinancing transaction or amendment or modification of any debt instrument (including without limitation any such transaction undertaken but not completed);
(9)    any gain or loss recorded in connection with the designation of a discontinued operation (exclusive of its operating income or loss);

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the definition of Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges (and all component definitions referenced in such definitions), whenever pro forma effect is to be given to Asset Acquisition, Asset Disposition or incurrence, redemption, retirement, defeasance or extinguishment of Total Net Debt, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible officer of Parent.

The Trustee shall initially authenticate €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes for original issue on the Issue Date upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer, together with an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall authenticate additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) thereafter in unlimited amount for original issue upon a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in aggregate principal amount as specified in such order. The Trustee shall also authenticate (i) replacement Notes as provided in Section 2.08, (ii) temporary Notes as provided in Section 2.11, (iii) Notes issued in connection with certain transfers and exchanges as provided in Sections 2.07, 2.16 and 2.17, (iv) Notes issued in connection with a partial redemption of the Notes as provided in Section 3.06 or a partial repurchase of a Note as provided in Section 4.08 and (v) Notes exchanged as provided in Section 8.05, in each case upon a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in aggregate principal amount as specified in such order. Each such written order shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated.
SECTION 2.02.    Form and Dating; Legends.
The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication with respect thereto shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the Restricted Notes) and Exhibit A‑2 (in the case of Unrestricted Notes), each of which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

If there is a conflict between the terms of the Notes and this Indenture, the terms of this Indenture shall govern.

-25-


The Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar.
SECTION 2.03.    Execution and Authentication.
The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one Officer of the Issuer. The signature of any of these Officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate the Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer and Affiliates of the Issuer. Each Paying Agent is designated as an authenticating agent for purposes of this Indenture and the Issuer hereby confirms that such appointment is acceptable to it.
Notes shall be issuable in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.
SECTION 2.04.    Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent.
The Issuer shall maintain (a) an office or agency in a member state of the European Union where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), (b) an office or agency in the City of London or Luxembourg, where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”), (c) an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer, if any, in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served and (d) an office or agency in a member state of the European Union to act as transfer agent in respect of the Notes (the “Transfer Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Registrar shall provide a copy of such register from time to time upon request of the Issuer. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying

-26-


Agents” means the Paying Agent and any additional Paying Agents. The term “Transfer Agent” includes any co-transfer agents. The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Registrar, a Paying Agent or a Transfer Agent.
The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent that is 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.
The Issuer will ensure that it maintains a Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the European Union Directive 2003/48/EC (the “Directive”) (as amended from time to time), the directive adopted on March 24, 2014 by the Council of the European Union amending and broadening such directive, or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26 and 27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or any law implementing, or complying with or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; provided that this requirement shall only apply (i) to the extent that there is such a member state and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, while such Directive or law is in force.
The Issuer initially appoints BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch as Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent. The Issuer may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. However, if and for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer will publish notice of the change in a Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent 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 (▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇). If and for so long as the Notes offered hereby are listed in the ExtraMOT, Professional Segment and the rules and regulations of the ExtraMOT so require, the Issuer will publish or make available any information and any notices (including financial notices) on its website (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇), to the extent and in the manner permitted by the ExtraMOT Market Rule; provided, however, that certain financial and other information shall be provided only through a password protected section of such website. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar in respect of the Notes.
In the event that definitive Notes are issued and the Paying Agent informs the Issuer that it is unable to perform its obligations under this Indenture, the Issuer shall forthwith appoint another or an additional agent in accordance with Section 7.12 which is able to perform such obligations and satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 2.04.
The Issuer shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including but not limited to determination of redemption price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts payable on the Notes. The Issuer will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Issuer will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee and the Paying Agent when reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent

-27-


are entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Issuer’s calculations without independent verification. The Issuer shall forward the Issuer’s calculations referred to above in this paragraph to any Holder of the Notes upon the written request of such Holder.
SECTION 2.05.    Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.
The Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium or interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Issuer, one or more of the Guarantors or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Issuer and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by a Paying Agent or the Trustee need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall a Paying Agent or the Trustee be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder. The Issuer 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 Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2), upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, such Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.06.    Noteholder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least five 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 Noteholders.
SECTION 2.07.    Transfer and Exchange.
Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request from the Holder of such Notes to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorneys duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall issue and execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes (and the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantees thereon) evidencing such transfer or exchange at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to the Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer or the Trustee may require from the Noteholder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06, 4.08 or 8.05 (in which events the Issuer shall be responsible for the payment

-28-


of such taxes). The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or of any Note selected, called or being called for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.
SECTION 2.08.    Replacement Notes.
If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note (and the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantees thereon) if the Holder of such Note furnishes to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the Holder (i) files with the Issuer a sufficient indemnity bond and executes a customary indemnity agreement; (ii) satisfies other reasonable requirements imposed by the Issuer or the Trustee; and (iii) complies with any applicable law as in effect on the date of this Indenture. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge such Holder for the Issuer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Issuer for the Trustee’s out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Note and may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Trustee incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and the out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Trustee incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) connected therewith. Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer. The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken Notes.
SECTION 2.09.    Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by or on behalf of the Trustee, (b) those accepted by the Trustee for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date

-29-


on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated by the Trustee hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer 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 a Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, Euros sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.
SECTION 2.10.    Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer or any other Affiliate of the Issuer shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, a Guarantor, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates.
SECTION 2.11.    Temporary Notes.
Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.



-30-


SECTION 2.12.    Cancellation.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner. The Issuer may not reissue or resell or issue new Notes to replace Notes that the Issuer has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.13.    Defaulted Interest.
If the Issuer defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders thereof on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. If such default continues for thirty (30) days, the Issuer shall fix such special record date and payment date in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. At least 10 days before such special record date, the Issuer (or upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to each affected Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. If the Issuer elects for the Trustee to send such notice to the Holders then the Issuer shall provide such notice to the Trustee at least ten (10) days (or such shorter time as may be agreed by the Trustee in its discretion) before such notice is required to be mailed to the Holders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(1) shall be paid to Holders as of the record date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid.
SECTION 2.14.    ISIN and Common Code Numbers.
The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “ISIN” or “Common Code” numbers, and if so used, such ISIN and Common Code numbers shall be included in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN or Common Code numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such ISIN or Common Code numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any such ISIN or Common Code number used by the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in any such ISIN or Common Code number.

-31-


SECTION 2.15.    Deposit of Moneys.
Prior to 10:00 A.M., London time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds Euros sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits such Paying Agents to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Common Depositary, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The Issuer shall no later than 10:00 A.M., London time, on the Business Day prior to the day on which the Paying Agent is to receive payment, procure that the bank effecting such payment for it confirm to the Paying Agent the payment instructions relating to such payment. A Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay the Holders unless and until such time as it has confirmed receipt of funds for such payment. The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person, by wire transfer or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent. Final payment of principal at maturity will only be made by the Trustee upon surrender of the related Note to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 2.16.    Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.
(a)    Rule 144A Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Note”). Regulation S Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Note”).

Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, Euroclear and Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the nominee of the Common Depositary or under the Global Notes. The nominee of the Common Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Common Depositary or impair, as between Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and their respective Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of Euroclear or Clearstream with respect to such Global Note, for the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, including records in respect of the beneficial owners of any such Global Note, for any transactions between Euroclear or Clearstream and any Agent Member or between or among Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, any such Agent Member and/

-32-


or any Holder or beneficial owner of such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.
(b)    Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Common Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes only in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 2.17. In addition, a Global Note shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes (i) if Euroclear or Clearstream notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and the Issuer thereupon fails to appoint a successor depositary within 120 days or (ii) if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note and Euroclear or Clearstream has requested such exchange. In all cases, Physical Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Common Depositary in accordance with its customary procedures.
(c)    In connection with the transfer of a Global Note as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.16, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Common Depositary in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.
(d)    Any Restricted Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.17 shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend.
(e)    The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.
SECTION 2.17.    Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
(a)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except as set forth in Section 2.16(b).

(b)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Common Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. Beneficial interests in Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent

-33-


required by the Securities Act. Beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be transferred or exchanged only for beneficial interests in Global Notes.

SECTION 3.02.    Selection by Trustee of Notes To Be Redeemed.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes to be redeemed are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis; provided that no Notes with a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. For all purposes of this Indenture unless the context otherwise requires, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. Redemption amounts shall only be paid upon presentation and surrender of any such Notes to be redeemed to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 3.03.    Notice of Redemption.
At least 10 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice of redemption electronically or by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.06.

(1)    the Redemption Date;
(2)    the redemption price and the amount of premium (or manner of calculation if not then known) and accrued interest to be paid;

(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 the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(7)    that paragraph 5 or paragraph 6, as applicable, of the Notes is the provision of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption is occurring;
(8)    the aggregate principal amount of Notes that are being redeemed;
(9)    any conditions precedent to such redemption in reasonable detail; and

If any notice of redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, any such redemption may be rescinded in whole and not in part at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date if the Issuer delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee describing the failure of the condition in reasonable detail and rescinding the redemption. The Issuer shall promptly provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to the Holders in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
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. If the Issuer effects an optional redemption of the Notes, it shall, if and for so long as any Notes are listed on (i) the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and (ii) the ExtraMOT, Professional Segment and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange and the ExtraMOT Market Rule so require, inform the Irish Stock Exchange and Borsa Italiana of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption.

Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is sent and subject to the proviso to this sentence, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that any redemption and notice thereof pursuant to this Indenture may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in such notice and in which case if and/or to the extent such condition(s) precedent is/are not satisfied the Issuer shall have no obligation to redeem Notes on such Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided that if the Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date; and provided, further, that if a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.
SECTION 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price.
On or prior to 10:00 A.M., London time, on each Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent Euros sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including

-42-


premium, if any, and accrued interest on any and all Notes to be redeemed on that date (other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation).
On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the second proviso in Section 3.04, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date. If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes.
SECTION 3.06.    Notes Redeemed in Part.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

SECTION 4.09.    Limitation on Asset Disposition.
(a)    Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless:

(2)    at least 75% of the consideration received by Parent or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents, Additional Assets or any combination thereof (collectively, the “Cash Consideration”); and
(3)    within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by Parent (or such Subsidiary, as the case may be):
(A)    to the extent Parent elects (or is required by the terms of any applicable Indebtedness), to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Secured Debt of Parent, the Issuer or any Guarantor or Indebtedness of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to Parent or an Affiliate of Parent), provided such prepayment, repayment, redemption or purchase permanently retires, or reduces the related loan commitment (if any) for, such Indebtedness in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or purchased;

-48-


(B)    to the extent Parent elects, to acquire Additional Assets or to make any other capital expenditures;
(C)    to make an offer to the Holders of the Notes (and to holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness designated by Parent) to purchase Notes (and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained herein, as set forth below, and in the instruments governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness; and
(D)    to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A), (B) and (C), for any purpose permitted by the terms of this Indenture.
Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.09, such Net Available Cash shall be applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit Indebtedness or in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.
(b)    For the purposes of this Section 4.09, the following are deemed to be Cash Consideration:
(1)    any liabilities, as shown on Parent’s or any Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of Parent or such Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to (A) a customary novation agreement that releases Parent or such Subsidiary from further liability or (B) an assignment agreement that includes, in lieu of such a release, the agreement of the transferee or its parent company to indemnify and hold harmless Parent or such Subsidiary from and against any loss, liability or cost in respect of such assumed liability;
(2)    any securities, notes or other obligations received by Parent or any Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by Parent or such Subsidiary into cash or cash equivalents within 180 days after such Asset Disposition, to the extent of the cash and cash equivalents received in that conversion; and
(3)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by Parent), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause that has at that time not been converted into cash or a cash equivalent, not to exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 3.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being determined in good faith by Parent and measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).
(c)    The amount of Net Available Cash not applied or invested as provided above will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $100.0 million, the Issuer (or Parent on behalf of the Issuer) shall make an offer to

-49-


purchase Notes (an “Offer”) within ten Business Days thereof, and shall purchase Notes tendered pursuant to such Offer for the Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness that contemporaneously requires the purchase, prepayment or redemption of such Indebtedness with the proceeds of sales of assets at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest (or, in respect of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture and the terms of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Offer and the contemporaneous offer with respect to any other Pari Passu Indebtedness contemplated above, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the securities tendered exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall allocate the Excess Proceeds between such securities on a pro rata basis and will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in denominations of €100,000 principal amount or integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The remainder of the Excess Proceeds allocable to the other Pari Passu Indebtedness will be repurchased as provided pursuant to the terms of such Indebtedness. Upon completion of such an Offer to purchase, Excess Proceeds will be deemed to be reset to zero.
(d)    The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.09. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(6)    in the case of any Italian withholding tax imposed pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 239 of April 1, 1996, to the extent such Taxes are imposed with respect to a payment to a non-Italian resident legal entity or a non-Italian resident individual as a result of such entity or individual not being a resident of or established in a jurisdiction that allows for a satisfactory exchange of information with Italy and that is included in the White List at the payment date;

(8)    any combination of items (1) through (7) above.
The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Person to the Issuer or any Guarantor and any Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any such Person.
(b)    The Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, if it is the applicable withholding agent, shall make any applicable withholding or deduction required by law and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or the applicable Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to the Issuer or such Guarantor, such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by the Issuer or such Guarantor. Copies of such receipts or other documentation shall be made available by the Issuer to the Holders or the Paying Agent, as applicable, upon request.
(c)    At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to any Notes is due and payable, if the Issuer or any Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of such Notes on the payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to any such date, the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate as described in the preceding sentence and shall pay such Additional Amounts promptly after such obligation arises. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled but shall not be obligated to rely on each Officers’ Certificate until receipt of a further Officers’ Certificate addressing such matters.
(d)    In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes or any other excise, property or similar Taxes that arise in any Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, issue, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, this Indenture, any Guarantee or any other document or instrument in relation thereto, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Holders of the Notes for any such Taxes paid by such Holders.

In lieu of applying an amount equal to such net proceeds to such redemption Parent may, within 180 days after such sale or transfer, deliver to the appropriate indenture trustee Notes issued under this Indenture or long-term Indebtedness for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be applied to the redemption of such Notes or long-term Indebtedness by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of Notes or long-term Indebtedness.
SECTION 4.16.    Reports to Trustee and Holders.
(a)    Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding hereunder, Parent shall furnish to the Trustee the following:
(1)    all quarterly and annual financial information of Parent that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Parent were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that describes the financial condition and results of operations of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by Parent’s certified independent accountants; and
(2)    all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if Parent was required to file such reports (during any period in which Parent is not required to file reports with the Commission, such current reports need only be prepared or delivered if Parent determines in good faith that the information to be reported is material to the Holders of the Notes or the business, operations, assets, liabilities or financial position of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole),
in each case, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (and, during any period in which Parent is not required to file reports with the Commission, within the

-59-


time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations applicable to a “non-accelerated filer”).
(b)    In addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, Parent will make all such information publicly available (including via a non-password protected website) 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 of the Notes upon request. In addition, Parent and the other Guarantors shall, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, furnish to the Holders of such Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
(c)    Whether Parent files such reports with the Commission or posts its reports on its website, the public posting of such reports shall satisfy any requirement hereunder to deliver such reports to the Trustee and Holders of the Notes. Parent will at all times comply with the provisions of TIA §314(a). The terms of this Indenture shall not impose any duty on Parent under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 and the related Commission rules that would not otherwise be applicable to it.
(d)    Delivery of such reports and information to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of them shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates delivered pursuant to this Indenture, including Officers’ Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.06(a)). The Trustee shall have no obligation to furnish such reports and information to Holders. The Issuer shall make arrangements to furnish such reports and information to Holders directly.
SECTION 4.17.    Additional Note Guarantees.
If, on or after the Issue Date:
(1)    Parent or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary that incurs any Indebtedness under Credit Facilities or any syndicated loan or capital markets debt securities in an aggregate principal amount greater than or equal to $150.0 million or guarantees any such Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries; or
(2)    any Domestic Subsidiary of Parent incurs Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities or any syndicated loan or capital markets debt securities in an aggregate principal amount greater than or equal to $150.0 million or guarantees any such Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries and that Domestic Subsidiary was not a Guarantor immediately prior to such incurrence or guarantee (an “Additional Obligor”),

-60-


then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary or Additional Obligor, as the case may be, shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture, to be perfected and executed through exchange of correspondence, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to this Indenture within 30 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created or became an Additional Obligor.
In addition, Parent shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such supplemental Indenture complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied, and such opinion of counsel shall additionally state that such supplemental Indenture is enforceable against the new Guarantor, subject to customary qualifications, and the Trustee shall have completed its customary client identification process for such new Guarantor.
SECTION 4.18.    Suspension of Covenants.
(a)    If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), Parent and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.09, 4.10, 4.15(2) and 4.17 hereof (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).
(b)    In the event that Parent and its 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”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then Parent and its Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.”
(c)    In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default with respect to Notes. With respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 4.10 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period except that no Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amounts available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.10. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the continued existence after any reinstitution of the foregoing covenants of facts and circumstances or obligations arising from transactions that occurred during the period such covenants were suspended shall not constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in this Indenture or cause an Event of Default thereunder.

-61-


(d)    The Issuer, in an Officers’ Certificate, shall provide the Trustee notice of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer’s future compliance with their covenants, (iii) notify the Holders of a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date or (iv) monitor compliance with the covenants contained in this Indenture generally. The Issuer shall deliver a copy of any such Officers’ Certificate to the Holders upon request.
SECTION 4.19.    Maintenance of Listing.
The Issuer shall (i) (x) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Notes to be listed, subject to notice of issuance, on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market as promptly as practicable after the Issue Date and (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Notes to be listed on the ExtraMOT, Professional Segment on or as promptly as practicable after the Issue Date, and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain each such listing for as long as any of the Notes are outstanding. If the Notes fail to be, or at any time cease to be, listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to list such Notes on another recognized stock exchange in western Europe as promptly as practicable after the delisting of the Notes from the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange.
SECTION 4.20.    Post-Closing Guarantees.
Each of the Issuer and Parent will take all actions that may legally be taken by it as a controlling entity, directly or indirectly, of the Rhiag Guarantors that are necessary or desirable to cause each of the Rhiag Guarantors to guarantee, within 60 days after the Issue Date, the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (while (i) the guarantee to be provided by each of the Italian Guarantors will be limited as described under Exhibit J-2, (ii) the guarantee to be provided by any Czech Guarantor will be limited up to the lower of (a) the Czech Guarantor Funding Amount, and (b) the Czech Limitation Amount, as defined in Exhibit J-3), including, but not limited to, causing such Rhiag Guarantors, the Issuer and the other Guarantors to (i) carry out a whitewash procedure in accordance with applicable legislation and (ii) enter into a supplemental indenture, to be perfected and executed through exchange of correspondence, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, as applicable, with the Trustee to issue such Guarantee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;

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 Noteholder 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. Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Issuer and the Guarantors.

SECTION 6.05.    Control by Majority.

-67-


Subject to Sections 2.10 and 7.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder not taking part in such direction, and the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed may involve it in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) that might be caused by taking such action or following such direction.
SECTION 6.06.    Limitation on Suits.

(3)    such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;
(4)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity against any cost, liability or expense that might be caused by complying with such request; and
(5)    during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.
A Noteholder may not use any provision of this Indenture to disturb or prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder.

SECTION 6.07.    No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.

-68-


No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Parent or of any Subsidiary of Parent, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of Parent or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
SECTION 6.08.    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 the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after such respective due dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.10.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
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 any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder

-69-


thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceedings.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 6.11.
SECTION 6.12.    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 incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all costs incurrred following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all such fees and expenses incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 6.08 or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

SECTION 7.01.    Duties of Trustee.

-70-


(a)    If a Default or Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person under the circumstances would exercise or use under the same circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
Except for an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(1) or 6.01(2) (upon the occurrence of which the Trustee if then acting as Paying Agent will be deemed to have knowledge thereof), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default by the Issuer or by the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes by written notice of such event sent to the Trustee in accordance with Section 11.02 at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
(b)    Except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge:

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture) or relating to Article Five of this Indenture, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.
SECTION 7.06.    [Reserved].
SECTION 7.07.    Compensation and Indemnity.

-74-


The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation as agreed upon for its services hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) incurred or made by it in connection with the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
In the event of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or the Trustee considering it expedient or necessary or being requested by the Issuer to undertake duties which the Trustee and the Issuer agree to be of an exceptional nature or agree to otherwise be outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee under the Indenture, the Issuer shall pay on demand to the Trustee such additional remuneration as shall be agreed between them. For the avoidance of doubt, any duties in connection with investments, the granting of consents or waivers, concurring in modifications, substitution of the Issuer or enforcement, or during the period post such enforcement, shall be deemed to be of an exceptional nature.
In the event of the Trustee and the Issuer failing to agree:
(a)     (in a case to which the first paragraph of this Section 7.07 applies) upon the amount of the remuneration; or
(b)     (in a case to which the second paragraph of this Section 7.07 applies) upon whether such duties shall be of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee under these presents, or upon such additional remuneration, such matters shall be determined by an independent financial institution or person with experience of the capital markets and of working with trustees (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) selected by the Trustee and approved by the Issuer or, failing such approval, nominated (on the application of the Trustee) by a Vice President of the London International Court of Arbitration (the expenses involved in such nomination and the fees of such investment bank being payable by the Issuer) and the determination of any such independent financial institution or person with experience of the capital markets and of working with trustees shall be final and binding upon the Trustee and the Issuer.
The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee and its agents, employees, stockholders, directors and officers and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the performance of its duties under this Indenture or the

-75-


exercise of its rights and powers under the Notes and the Guarantees, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.07), the Notes and the Guarantees or otherwise arising under this Indenture and including the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer, any Guarantor or otherwise) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing promptly of any third party claim of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity (each, a “Third Party Claim”); provided that the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not relieve the Issuer and Guarantors of their obligations hereunder except to the extent the Issuer and the Guarantors are actually prejudiced thereby. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement or provide any indemnification for any other Losses associated therewith to the extent such settlement is made in connection with any Third Party Claim without its consent, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. The Trustee shall have the right to its own counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default of such counsel in connection with any Third Party Claim to the extent the Trustee reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists or is required in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except for such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be joint and several liabilities of each Issuer and each of the Guarantors and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (7) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.
For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this Article Seven, provided, however, that the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any Person other

-76-


than the Trustee acting as the Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent and any other Agent under this Indenture.
SECTION 7.08.    Replacement of Trustee.
The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing and without bearing any costs incurred with respect to such resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Issuer and the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer may remove the Trustee at its election if:
(1)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;
(2)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(3)    a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(4)    the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, Noteholders holding at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.07, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Noteholder. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
SECTION 7.09.    Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the

-77-


successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.
SECTION 7.10.    Eligibility; Disqualification.
There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is (i) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, England and Wales, the Republic of Italy or within the European Union; (ii) authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power; and (iii) a corporation which customarily performs such corporate trustee roles and provides such corporate trustee services in transactions similar in nature to the offering of the Notes as described in the Offering Memorandum.
SECTION 7.11.    Paying Agents.
The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent (other than the initial Paying Agent appointed hereunder) to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.11:
(A)    that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee;
(B)    that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and
(C)    that it will give the Trustee written notice within three Business Days of any failure of the Issuer (or by any obligor on the Notes) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable.
By its execution and delivery of this Indenture, BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch, as the initial Paying Agent for the Notes, agrees with the Trustee to each of the foregoing covenants.
The Paying Agent and the Issuer undertake to respect and protect the confidentiality of all information acquired as a result of or pursuant to this Indenture and will not, without the other party’s written consent, disclosure any such confidential information to a third party, unless it is required to do so by applicable law or regulation or is specifically authorized to do so under this Indenture, especially where the provision of such information is the object or part of the services to be provided by the Paying Agent.  The Paying Agent will only ask for the information needed to fulfill its obligations in providing the services required of such Paying Agent under this Indenture.  The Issuer may, at its request, access the data relating to it and will be entitled to have it amended.  The data will be kept for the period which the Paying Agent is required to keep it by law.  The Issuer expressly authorizes the transfer of such data to

-78-


third parties or to the head office of the Paying Agent if such transmission is required to allow the Paying Agent to provide its services to Issuer, provided, however, that such third parties must be subject to obligations substantially similar to those contained in this Indenture regarding maintenance of confidentiality of such data.  Paying Agent shall be responsible for disclosure of such confidential information by any such third party in violation of those obligations.
SECTION 7.12.    Agents.
Any Agent, including the Paying Agent hereunder, may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Indenture at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee and the Issuer may remove any Agent at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to such Agent; provided, however, that no prior notice shall be required for any removal of any Agent for good cause. Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Issuer is unable to replace the resigning Agent within 30 days after such notice (or, immediately upon removal in connection with any removal of an Agent for good cause), the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder in its possession to the Trustee or may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent or for other appropriate relief. The costs and expenses (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred following the occurrence of an Event of Default) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Issuer. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent. Upon its resignation and delivery of any funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.07. The Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuer.
SECTION 7.13.    Noteholders’ Representative.
A representative of the Holders of the Notes (rappresentante comune) (the “Noteholders’ Representative”) may be appointed pursuant to Articles 2415 and 2417 of the Italian Civil Code in order to represent the interests of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to Article 2418 of the Italian Civil Code as well as to give effect to resolutions passed at a meeting of the Holders of the Notes. If the Noteholders’ Representative is not appointed by a meeting of the Holders of the Notes, the Noteholders’ Representative shall be appointed by a decree of the Court where the Issuer has its registered office upon the request of one or more Holders of the Notes or upon the request of the directors of the Issuer. The Noteholders’ Representative remains appointed for a maximum period of three years but may be reappointed again thereafter.

represent Holders of more than one-third of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes; provided, however, that the Issuer’s bylaws may provide for a higher quorum (to the extent permitted under Italian law). Certain proposals, as set out under Article 2415 paragraph 1, item 2, and paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code (namely, the amendment of the economic terms and conditions of the Notes), may only be approved by a resolution passed at a meeting of Holders of the Notes (including any adjourned meeting) by one or more persons present that hold or represent Holders of not less than one-half of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Any resolution duly passed at any such meeting shall be binding on all the Holders of the Notes, whether or not such Holder was present at such meeting or voted to approve such resolution. The provisions described under this Section 8.07 will be in addition to, and not in substitution of, the provisions described under Sections 8.01 and 8.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment, supplement and/or waiver, in addition to complying with the provisions described under this Section 8.07, must also comply with the other provisions described under Sections 8.01 and 8.02.

-84-


will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes outstanding under this Indenture on the maturity date or on the applicable optional redemption date, as the case may be; (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit shall 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; (c) the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture; and (d) the Issuer have delivered (I) irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be, and (II) an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with and that such satisfaction and discharge does not result in a default under any agreement or instrument then known to such counsel which binds or affects the Issuer.
The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer in Article Two and in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.
SECTION 9.02.    Legal Defeasance.
The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall, subject to Section 9.06, execute instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(1)    the rights of the Holders of the outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust described in Section 9.04 and as more fully set forth in Section 9.04, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due,
(2)    the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article Two and Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.05,

-85-


(3)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07) and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith and
(4)    this Article Nine.
Concurrently with any Legal Defeasance, the Issuer may, at its further option, cause to be terminated, as of the date on which such Legal Defeasance occurs, all of the obligations under any or all of the Note Guarantees, if any, then existing and obtain the release of the Note Guarantees of any or all Guarantors. In order to exercise such option regarding a Note Guarantee, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with written notice of its desire to terminate such Note Guarantee prior to the delivery of the Opinions of Counsel referred to in Section 9.04.
Subject to compliance with this Article Nine, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 9.02 with respect to the Notes notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 below with respect to the Notes.
SECTION 9.03.    Covenant Defeasance.
The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under Sections 4.08, 4.11, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a) released with respect to the outstanding Notes on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer may fail to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise of the option in this Section 9.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5) and (6) shall not constitute Events of Default.
Notwithstanding any discharge or release of any obligations under this Indenture pursuant to Section 9.02 or this Section 9.03, the Issuer’s obligations in Article Two and Sections 7.07, 9.05, 9.06, 9.07 and 9.08 shall survive until such time as the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 9.05, 9.07 and 9.08 shall survive.
SECTION 9.04.    Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 to the outstanding Notes:
(1)    the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or such entity appointed or designated (as Agent) by the Trustee for this purpose, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes issued under this Indenture, cash in Euros, European

-86-


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 (such opinion shall be delivered to the Trustee, and upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying), to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes outstanding under this Indenture on the stated maturity or on the applicable optional redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;
(2)    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying) confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owner of the Notes outstanding under this Indenture will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to United States 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 Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying) confirming that the beneficial owners of the Notes outstanding under this Indenture will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to United States 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) or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;
(5)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
(6)    the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying) stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes issued under this Indenture over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others; and

-87-


(7)    the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel upon which the Trustee shall have the right to rely, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
SECTION 9.05.    Deposited Money and European Government Obligations To Be Held in Trust.
All money and European Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or such entity appointed or designated (as Agent) by the Trustee for this purpose pursuant to Section 9.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall 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 Agents, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer and the Guarantors shall (on a joint and several basis) pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the European Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.04 or the principal, premium, if any, 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.
Anything in this Article Nine to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon a request of the Issuer any money or European Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
SECTION 9.06.    Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or European Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02 or 9.03 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, each Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Nine until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or European Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01; provided that if the Issuer or the Guarantors have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, 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 any Paying Agent.

-88-


SECTION 9.07.    Moneys Held by Paying Agent.
In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys and European Government Obligations then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Issuer, be paid or delivered to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys and European Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.04, to the Issuer upon a request of the Issuer (or, if such moneys and European Government Obligations had been deposited by the Guarantors, to such Guarantors), and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.
SECTION 9.08.    Moneys Held by Trustee.
Any moneys and European Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Issuer or the Guarantors in trust for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid or returned to the Issuer (or, if appropriate, the Guarantors) upon a request of the Issuer, or if such moneys and European Government Obligations are then held by the Issuer or the Guarantors in trust, such moneys and European Government Obligations shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Note entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer and the Guarantors for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust moneys and European Government Obligations shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors, either mail to each Noteholder affected, at the address shown in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.06, or cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks, in one newspaper published in the English language, customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, the State of New York, a notice that such moneys and European Government Obligations remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys and European Government Obligations then remaining will be repaid or returned to the Issuer. After payment or return to the Issuer or the Guarantors or the release of any moneys and European Government Obligations held in trust by the Issuer or any Guarantors, as the case may be, Holders entitled thereto must look only to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
ARTICLE TEN
GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES
SECTION 10.01.    Guarantee.
The Guarantors, by execution of this Indenture, jointly and severally, guarantee to each Holder and to the Trustee (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if

Each Guarantor, by execution of this Indenture, agrees that, subject only to the applicable provisions, if any, of Section 10.06, its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Note or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto by the Holder of such Note, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection).
Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.
The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Trustee or any Holder under the Note Guarantees.
SECTION 10.02.    Execution and Delivery.
To further evidence the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer thereof.
Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall be in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

-90-


If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.
SECTION 10.03.    Release of Guarantors.
(a)    A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than Parent) will be unconditionally and automatically released and discharged upon any of the following:
(1)    any Transfer (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) by any Guarantor (other than Parent) to any Person that is not a Guarantor of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Guarantor; provided that such Guarantor is also released from all of its obligations in respect of Indebtedness under each Credit Facility and any other Indebtedness that gave rise to the obligation to provide such Note Guarantee;
(2)    any Transfer directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) to any Person that is not a Guarantor of Equity Interests of a Guarantor or any issuance by a Guarantor (other than Parent) of its Equity Interests, such that such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that such Guarantor is also released from all of its obligations in respect of Indebtedness under each Credit Facility and any other Indebtedness that gave rise to the obligation to provide such Note Guarantee;
(3)    the release of such Guarantor from all obligations of such Guarantor in respect of Indebtedness under each Credit Facility and any other Indebtedness that gave rise to the obligation to provide such Note Guarantee; or
(b)    upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article Nine.
(b)    No such release or discharge of a Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be effective against the Trustee or the Holders of Notes to which such Note Guarantee relates (i) if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture as of the time of such proposed release until such time as such Default or Event of Default is cured and waived (unless such release is in connection with the sale of the Equity Interests in such Guarantor constituting collateral for a Credit Facility in connection with the exercise of remedies against such Equity Interests or in connection with a Transfer permitted by this Indenture if, but for the existence of such Default or Event of Default, such Guarantor would otherwise be entitled to be released from its Guarantee following the sale of such Equity Interests) and (ii) until the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying, stating that all conditions precedent

-91-


provided for in this Indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release and discharge is authorized and permitted under this Indenture.
(c)    If the Note Guarantee of any Guarantor is deemed to be released or is automatically released, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the identity of the released Guarantor, the basis for release in reasonable detail, and that such release complies with this Indenture. At the request of the Issuer, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that a Guarantor has been released and that execution by the Trustee of an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee complies with this Indenture, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, execute any documents reasonably requested by either the Issuer or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes and under this Article Ten (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any automatic release pursuant to this Section 10.03).
(d)    Except as provided under Article Eight, the Note Guarantee of Parent may be released and discharged only with the consent of Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).
SECTION 10.04.    Waiver of Subrogation.
Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.04 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 10.05.    Notice to Trustee.
The Issuer or any Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to such Issuer or any such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in respect of the Note Guarantees.

-92-


Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Ten or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Note Guarantees, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Issuer no later than three Business Days prior to such payment; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.05, and subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice referred to in this Section 10.05 at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such payment may become payable for any purpose under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it less than three Business Days prior to such date.
SECTION 10.06.    Limitation on Liability of Domestic Guarantors.
Each Domestic Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of a Domestic Guarantor does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Holder and each Domestic Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of a Domestic Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Domestic Guarantor result in the obligations of such Domestic Guarantor not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Within 5 Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee of written notice by any three or more Holders stating that such Holders desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes, and such notice is accompanied by (i) a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such Holders propose to transmit, and (ii) reasonable proof that each such Holder has owned a Note for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such notice, the Trustee shall, at its election, either:

to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in the notice.
If the Trustee elects not to afford to such Holders access to such information, the Trustee will, upon the written request of such Holders, mail to all such Holders copies of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such notice, with reasonable promptness after receipt by the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of such mailing, unless within five days after such receipt, the Trustee shall mail to such Holder a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion.
The disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.03, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, shall not be deemed to be a violation of any existing law, nor shall the Trustee, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Registrar and Transfer Agent or any other Agent hereunder be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under this Section 11.03.

The Issuer represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Issuer agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Issuer.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the extent that the Issuer or any Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under each of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees. In addition, the Issuer and each Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts mentioned in subsection (a) of this Section 11.09 for any reason whatsoever, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue for such suit is improper, or that this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in such courts.
(c)    The Issuer and the Guarantors agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, nothing in this Section 11.09 shall affect the right of the Trustee to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Trustee to bring any action or proceeding against the Issuer or any Guarantor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdictions.

Each provision of this Indenture shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision which is not essential to the effectuation of the basic purpose of this Indenture or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 11.15.    Waiver of Jury Trial.
THE ISSUER, THE GUARANTORS AND THE TRUSTEE, AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
SECTION 11.16.    Force Majeure.
In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances

-99-


Any payment on account of an amount that is payable in Euros which is made to or for the account of any Holder or the Trustee 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, shall constitute a discharge of the Issuer or the Guarantor’s obligation under this Indenture and the Notes or Note 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 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.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF RESTRICTED NOTE]
LKQ ITALIA BONDCO S.P.A.
3.875% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2024
1.    Interest. LKQ ITALIA BONDCO S.P.A., a joint stock company (società per azioni) organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 3.875% per annum. Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [insert applicable issue date] to but excluding the date on which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each April 1 and October 1, commencing [insert first payment date]. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Notes.
2.    Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in Euros. Interest may be paid by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the Notes.
3.    Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent. Initially, BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch will act as a Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent without notice. The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.
4.    Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 14, 2016 (the “Indenture”) among, inter alios, the Issuer, the Guarantors and BNP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited (the “Trustee”). This is one of an issue of Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
5.    Optional Redemption. Prior to January 1, 2024, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus the Make-Whole Premium (a “Make-Whole Redemption”). The Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent of the Make-Whole Premium by delivering to the Paying Agent, on or before the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate showing the calculation

A-1-4


thereof in reasonable detail, and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation.
On or after January 1, 2024, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of accrued but unpaid interest in connection with the redemption of Notes is subject to the rights of a Holder of Notes on a record date for the payment of interest whose Notes are to be redeemed on or after such record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date to receive interest on such interest payment date.
6.    Redemption of Notes for Changes in Withholding Taxes. The Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. This redemption applies only if as a result of any amendment to or change in the laws or treaties (including any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in any official position of a taxing authority in any Taxing Jurisdiction concerning the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rulings or regulations (including by virtue of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change in each case is publicly announced and effective after the Issue Date (or in the case Additional Amounts caused by a tax imposed by a jurisdiction that became a Taxing Jurisdiction after the Issue Date, after the date on which such jurisdiction became a Taxing Jurisdiction), the Issuer has become or will become obligated to pay material Additional Amounts (as described in Section 4.12 of the Indenture) on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to such Notes and the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that such obligation cannot be avoided (including, without limitation, by changing the jurisdiction from which or through which payment is made) by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuer. Notice of such redemption may not be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer of such Notes would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of such Notes then due nor later than 180 days after such amendment or change referred to in the preceding paragraph. At the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Immediately prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption described above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to elect to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to elect to redeem have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized expertise in the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer, as the case may be, has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such amendment or change.
7.    Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail or sent electronically at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. For Notes which are

A-1-5


represented by global certificates 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. If the Issuer effects an optional redemption of the Notes, it will, if and for so long as any Notes are listed on (i) the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and (ii) the ExtraMOT, Professional Segment and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange and the ExtraMOT Market Rule so require, inform the Irish Stock Exchange and Borsa Italiana of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in the notice relating to such redemption.
8.    Offers To Purchase. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase outstanding Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
9.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portion of a Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.
10.    Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.
11.    Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.
12.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Issuer of its obligations to the Holders and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate amount of the outstanding Notes.

A-1-6


13.    Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions and on the ability of Parent and the Issuer to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries and requires Parent to provide reports to Holders of the Notes. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
14.    Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations.
15.    Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes to be due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;
(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)    the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

A-1-7


Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
16.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuer. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
17.    No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member of the Board of Directors or holder of Capital Stock of Parent or of any Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.
18.    Discharge.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF UNRESTRICTED NOTE]
LKQ ITALIA BONDCO S.P.A.
3.875% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2024
1.    Interest. LKQ ITALIA BONDCO S.P.A., a joint stock company (società per azioni) organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 3.875% per annum. Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [insert applicable issue date] to but excluding the date on which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each April 1 and October 1, commencing [insert first payment date]. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Notes.
2.    Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in Euros. Interest may be paid by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the Notes.
3.    Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent. Initially, BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch will act as a Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent without notice. The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.
4.    Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 14, 2016 (the “Indenture”) among, inter alios, the Issuer, the Guarantors and BNP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited (the “Trustee”). This is one of an issue of Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
5.    Optional Redemption. Prior to January 1, 2024, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus the Make-Whole Premium (a “Make-Whole Redemption”). The Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent of the Make-Whole Premium by delivering to the Paying Agent, on or before the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate showing the calculation

A-2-4


thereof in reasonable detail, and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation.
On or after January 1, 2024, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of accrued but unpaid interest in connection with the redemption of Notes is subject to the rights of a Holder of Notes on a record date for the payment of interest whose Notes are to be redeemed on or after such record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date to receive interest on such interest payment date.
6.    Redemption of Notes for Changes in Withholding Taxes. The Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. This redemption applies only if as a result of any amendment to or change in the laws or treaties (including any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in any official position of a taxing authority in any Taxing Jurisdiction concerning the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rulings or regulations (including by virtue of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change in each case is publicly announced and effective after the Issue Date (or in the case Additional Amounts caused by a tax imposed by a jurisdiction that became a Taxing Jurisdiction after the Issue Date, after the date on which such jurisdiction became a Taxing Jurisdiction), the Issuer has become or will become obligated to pay material Additional Amounts (as described in Section 4.12 of the Indenture) on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to such Notes and the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that such obligation cannot be avoided (including, without limitation, by changing the jurisdiction from which or through which payment is made) by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuer. Notice of such redemption may not be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer of such Notes would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of such Notes then due nor later than 180 days after such amendment or change referred to in the preceding paragraph. At the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Immediately prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption described above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to elect to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to elect to redeem have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized expertise in the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer, as the case may be, has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such amendment or change.
7.    Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail or sent electronically at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. For Notes which are

A-2-5


represented by global certificates 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. If the Issuer effects an optional redemption of the Notes, it will, if and for so long as any Notes are listed on (i) the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and (ii) the ExtraMOT, Professional Segment and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange and the ExtraMOT Market Rule so require, inform the Irish Stock Exchange and Borsa Italiana of such optional redemption and confirm the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that will remain outstanding immediately after such redemption. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in the notice relating to such redemption.
8.    Offers To Purchase. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase outstanding Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
9.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portion of a Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.
10.    Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.
11.    Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.
12.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Issuer of its obligations to the Holders and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate amount of the outstanding Notes.

A-2-6


13.    Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions and on the ability of Parent and the Issuer to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries and requires Parent to provide reports to Holders of the Notes. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
14.    Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations.
15.    Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes to be due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;
(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)    the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

A-2-7


Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
16.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuer. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
17.    No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member of the Board of Directors or holder of Capital Stock of the Issuer or of any Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of Parent or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.
18.    Discharge. The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of cash in Euros, European Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
19.    Guarantees. From and after the Issue Date, the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.
20.    Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
21.    Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

J-3-1
5 To be used where the Guaranteeing Subsidiary is a Czech limited liability company.
6 To be used where the Guaranteeing Subsidiary is a Czech joint stock company.
    


no Guarantee and/or indemnity of the Czech Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture shall include any payment undertaking, obligations and/or liabilities relating to the repayment of any proceeds of the Notes used to finance the purchase price (or its part) for the Acquisition and related payment obligations or refinance any funds used to finance the purchase price (or its part) for the Acquisition and related payment obligations, provided that, the obligations of the Czech Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture shall not exceed the total amount of €35 million (the “Czech Guarantor Funding Amount”).

The maximum amount of the Czech Guarantor’s liability under any Guarantee and/or indemnity pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to an amount equal to the Czech Limitation Amount (as defined below), being the product of the following formula:

(4) include all other liabilities secured by the Czech Guarantor, provided that such liabilities shall only be included up to the amount equal to the net book value of the assets owned by the Czech Guarantor subject to such security,

provided, however, that if the Czech Limitation Amount calculated per the above formula exceeds the Czech Guarantor Funding Amount, the Czech Limitation Amount shall be reduced to the Czech Guarantor Funding Amount.

The term “net book value” used for the purpose of the calculation of the Czech Limitation Amount means the book value reduced by corrections and provisions (in Czech opravné položky a oprávky (korekce)) as set out in decree no. 500/2002 Coll., as amended (the “Decree”), implementing Act No. 563/1991 Coll., on Accountancy, as amended or in any other legislation which may supersede the Decree in future.

However in any case the obligations of The Czech Guarantor under its Guarantee shall never exceed the Czech Guarantor Funding Amount.

3.    RELEASES. Each Guarantee shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged in accordance with the Indenture.
4.    NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.
