The Trustee shall authenticate Dollar Securities (the “Additional Dollar Securities”) and Sterling Securities (the “Additional Sterling Securities”) thereafter in unlimited amount (so long as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10) (any such Securities, the “Additional Securities”) 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.

-33-

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication.

One Officer, who shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions, shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

If the Officer whose signature is on a Security was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Initial Dollar Securities for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000, (ii) Initial Sterling Securities for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of £105,000,000, (iii) pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange Securities from time to time for issue only in exchange for like principal amounts of Initial Securities and (iv) subject to compliance with Section 4.10, one or more series of Securities for original issue after the Issue Date in an unlimited amount (and if issued with a Private Placement Legend, the same principal amount of Exchange Securities in exchange therefor upon consummation of a registered exchange offer) in each case upon written orders of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, which Officers’ Certificate shall, in the case of any issuance pursuant to clause (iv) above, certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.10.

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with the consent of the Issuer to authenticate the Securities. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate the Securities 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

-34-

Affiliates of the Issuer. Each Paying Agent is designated as an authenticating agent for purposes of 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 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 Section 6.01(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 2.07. Transfer and Exchange.

Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Securities or to exchange such Securities for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall promptly register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request.

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except (a) those canceled by it, (b) those delivered to it for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.02, on or after the date on the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or 8.02 have been satisfied, (d) those cancelled pursuant to Section 3.07(b) and (e) those Securities theretofore authenticated by the Trustee hereunder and described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or any of its Affiliates holds the Security (subject to the provisions of Section 2.10).

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose

-38-

hands such Security is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.

If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue. If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Securities sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest due on the Dollar Securities payable on that date, or U.K. Legal Tender or U.K. Government Securities sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest due on the Sterling Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Dollar Securities and/or Sterling Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.10. Treasury Securities.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded.

SECTION 2.11. Temporary Securities.

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until such exchange, Temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Securities are represented by a Global Security, such Global Security may be in typewritten form.

SECTION 2.12. Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agents shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary), and no one else, shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and, at the written direction of the Issuer, shall dispose of all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange,

-39-

payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. Subject to Section 2.08, the Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Dollar Securities or the Sterling Securities, it shall, unless the Trustee fixes another record date pursuant to Section 6.10, pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Dollar Securities or Sterling Securities, as the case may be, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which special record date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before any such subsequent special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such 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 Dollar Securities or the Sterling Securities 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.

SECTION 2.14. CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use, as applicable, CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers, either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification number(s) printed on the Securities. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers.

SECTION 2.15. Deposit of Moneys.

Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, in the case of the Dollar Securities, and 10:00 a.m. London time, in the case of the Sterling Securities, on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Net Proceeds

-40-

Offer Payment Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. Legal Tender, in the case of the Dollar Securities, or U.K. Legal Tender, in the case of the Sterling Securities, sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, as the case may be. The principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on Global Securities shall be payable to the Depository or the Common Depositary, as applicable, or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Securities represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Securities shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at the office of the applicable Paying Agent.

(d) In connection with the transfer of Global Securities as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Securities shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary, in the case of the Dollar Securities, or Euroclear and Clearstream, in the case of the Sterling Securities, in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Securities, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.

(e) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to paragraph (b), (c) or (d) shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraphs (a)(i)(x) and (c) of Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend or, in the case of the Regulation S Global Security, the legend set forth in Exhibit D, in each case, unless the Issuer determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law.

(f) Beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Security only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made (i)(a) to a Person that the transferor reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (b) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act which is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel regarding the availability of such exemption and (ii) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

(h) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in such

-43-

other Global Security and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest.

(i) The Holder of any Global Security 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 Securities.

SECTION 2.17. Special Transfer Provisions.

(a) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration or any proposed registration of transfer of a Security constituting a Restricted Security to a QIB (excluding transfers made in reliance on Regulation S):

(i) the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on such Holder’s Security stating, or to a transferee who has advised the Issuer and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Security for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuer as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

(ii) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Securities to be transferred consist of Physical Securities which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the Global Security, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Securities to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Securities so transferred.

(b) Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (ii) such

-44-

Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Registrar has received an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer to such effect.

(c) General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture.

The Registrar shall retain for a period of two years copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.16 or this Section 2.17. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable notice to the Registrar.

SECTION 2.18. Computation of Interest.

Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed.

SECTION 2.19. Calculation of Principal Amount of Securities.

The aggregate principal amount of the Securities, at any date of determination, shall be the sum of (1) the principal amount of the Dollar Securities at such date of determination plus (2) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, at such date of determination, of the principal amount of the Sterling Securities at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities (and not solely the Dollar Securities or the Sterling Securities as provided for in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 9.02(a)), such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Securities, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and Section 2.09 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate.

The Issuer shall give notice of redemption to the Paying Agent and Trustee at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing), together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained herein.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed.

In the event that less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at any time, selection of the Securities for redemption shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed (as certified to the Trustee by the Issuer) or, if the Securities are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that:

(1) no Dollar Securities of a principal amount of $75,000 or less or Sterling Securities of a principal amount of £50,000 or less shall be redeemed in part; and

(2) if a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of a Equity Offering, selection of the Securities or portions thereof for redemption shall be made by the Trustee only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream procedures, as applicable), unless such method is otherwise prohibited.

If and for so long as the Securities are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules and regulations so required, notice of such redemption shall be sent to the Companies Announcements Office of such exchange.

-46-

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall forward the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided that in such case, the Trustee has received notice from the Issuer at least 31 days, but not more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee). Securities called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of them called for redemption. Each notice of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date;

(2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid;

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

(4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price, plus accrued interest, if any;

(5) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed;

(6) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued;

(7) if fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

(10) the Section of the Securities pursuant to which the Securities are to be redeemed.

The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price (which shall include accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date), but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates. On and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable Redemption Price pursuant to this Indenture.

With respect to the Sterling Securities, prior to 10:00 a.m., London time, on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Sterling Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is a Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) U.K. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Sterling Securities

-48-

or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Sterling Securities or portions of Sterling Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Sterling Securities or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Sterling Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Sterling Securities.

SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part.

If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security.

(a) At any time (i) after the occurrence (but during the continuance) of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 or (ii) following the taking of any enforcement action by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 or Section 6.03 or the exercise of any enforcement action by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents (a “Relevant Event”), the Optionholder, if any, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase (the “Purchase Option”) all, but not less than all, of the Securities then outstanding at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Purchase Option Payment”).

(b) The Issuer shall notify STT Communications Ltd. promptly (and in any case within 10 days) of any occurrence of a Relevant Event.

(c) The Optionholder may exercise the Purchase Option (an “STT Purchase”) by sending, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall state, among other things, that a Relevant Event has occurred and is then continuing and the purchase date which must be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 30 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Purchase Option Payment Date”). On the Purchase Option Payment Date, the Optionholder shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Purchase Option Payment for all of the Securities then outstanding. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder the Purchase Option Payment for all such Holder’s Securities and such Holder’s Securities shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of the Holder, be transferred to an account designated by the Optionholder in writing to the Trustee. Thereafter Holders of the Securities, other than the Optionholder, shall have no rights under the Securities or this Indenture.

any Change of Control, it or a third party has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Securities validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Securities properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. The Alternate Offer must comply with all the other provisions applicable to the Change of Control Offer, shall remain, if commenced prior to the Change of Control, open for acceptance until the consummation of the Change of Control and must permit Holders to withdraw any tenders of Securities made into the Alternate Offer until the final expiration or consummation thereof.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness) or issue Preferred Stock and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Acquired Indebtedness if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of such Preferred Stock, after giving effect to the incurrence or issuance thereof, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company would be less than 4.5 to 1.0 if such incurrence is on or prior to December 23, 2006, and less than 4.0 to 1.0 if such incurrence is after such date.

(b) Section 4.10(a) shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or the issuance of any of the following items of Preferred Stock, as applicable (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”):

-55-

(3) Interest Swap Obligations of the Company covering Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; provided, however, that such Interest Swap Obligations are entered into to protect the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from fluctuations in interest rates on Indebtedness incurred otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent the notional principal amount of such Interest Swap Obligations does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Interest Swap Obligations relate;

(4) Indebtedness under Currency Agreements; provided that in the case of Currency Agreements which relate to Indebtedness, such Currency Agreements do not increase the Indebtedness of the Company outstanding, other than as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder;

(5) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary for so long as such Indebtedness is held by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case subject to no Lien held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that if as of any date any Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns or holds any such Indebtedness or holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness, such date shall be deemed the incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness by the issuer of such Indebtedness;

(6) Indebtedness of the Company to a Restricted Subsidiary for so long as such Indebtedness is held by a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case subject to no Lien; provided that (A) any Indebtedness of the Company to any Restricted Subsidiary is unsecured and subordinated, pursuant to a written agreement, to the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the Securities and (B) if as of any date any Person other than a Restricted Subsidiary owns or holds any such Indebtedness or any Person holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness, such date shall be deemed the incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness by the Company;

(7) Indebtedness arising out of the Intercompany Agreements, to the extent such Indebtedness is incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(8) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days after incurrence;

(9) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of performance bonds, bankers’ acceptances, workers’ compensation claims,

-56-

bid, surety or appeal bonds, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance, insurance premiums or similar obligations, and bank overdrafts (and letters of credit in respect thereof) in the ordinary course of business;

(10) Indebtedness represented by Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capitalized Lease Obligations not to exceed £25.0 million at any one time outstanding;

(12) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (A) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds (including the Fair Market Value of non-cash consideration) actually received by (or held in escrow for later release to) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition (without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) and (B) such Indebtedness is not reflected in the balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for more than six months, either consecutively or in the aggregate (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet shall not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (B));

(13) Indebtedness of the Company consisting of Subordinated Shareholder Funding;

(14) Refinancing Indebtedness;

(15) Acquired Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Acquired Indebtedness, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company would be less than 4.5 to 1.0 if such incurrence is on or prior to December 23, 2006, and less than 4.0 to 1.0 if such incurrence is after such date; and

(16) additional Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed £25.0 million at any one time outstanding.

-57-

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10:

(1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (16) of Section 4.10(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.10(a), the Company may, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock on the date of its incurrence or, subject to clause (2) below, later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.10;

(2) accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.10;

(3) the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.10 will not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies;

(4) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and

(5) if obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments are incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility and the letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included.

SECTION 4.11. Restricted Payments.

(u) 50% of the Operating Cash Flow of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries earned during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the last date of the most recent quarter for which financial statements are available prior to the date such Restricted Payment (the “Reference Date”) (treating such period as a single accounting period); plus

(v) 100% of the net cash proceeds received by the Company from any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company) subsequent to the Issue Date and on or prior to the Reference Date (a) as a contribution to the common equity capital of the Company by any holder of the Company’s Capital Stock,

-59-

or (b) from the issuance and sale of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or (c) from the issuance and sale of Subordinated Shareholder Funding; plus

-60-

provided, in the case of clauses (u), (v), (w), (x), (y) and (z) above, that such Restricted Payment may be made within a period of 10 Business Days commencing the day after the consummation of the Excess Cash Flow Offer in each year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph do not prohibit:

(1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend if the dividend would have been permitted on the date of declaration;

(2) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the acquisition of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company, either (i) solely in exchange for shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or (ii) through the application of net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company;

(6) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Obligations upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale to the extent required by this Indenture or any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Subordinated Obligations were issued, but only if the Company:

SECTION 4.13. Asset Sales.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of (i) cash or Cash Equivalents or (ii) Replacement Assets and, in each case, is received at the time of such disposition; and

(3) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such

-62-

Asset Sale within 365 days after receipt thereof (i) in the event the Asset Sale does not consist of Collateral, to repay Indebtedness, if any, secured by a Lien on the Property sold in such Asset Sale, (ii) in the event the Person consummating the Asset Sale is neither the Issuer nor a Guarantor, to Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor or (iii) to acquire Replacement Assets (or to commit to acquire such Replacement Assets within such 365-day period and complete such acquisition within a 180-day period after such 365-day period).

(b) On the 366th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clause (3) of Section 4.13(a) (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which has not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clause (3) of Section 4.13(a) (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Issuer to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any Pari Passu Debt, an offer to purchase to all holders of such Pari Passu Debt, on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders (and holders of such Pari Passu Debt) on a pro rata basis, that principal amount of Securities (and Pari Passu Debt) equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (and, in the case of Pari Passu Debt, the redemption price for such Pari Passu Debt set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase); provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration) or Cash Equivalents, then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.13. For purposes of calculating the principal amount of any Indebtedness not denominated in U.S. Dollars, such Indebtedness shall be calculated by converting such principal amounts into their Dollar Equivalent determined as of a date selected by the Issuer that is within the period of the Net Proceeds Offer.

(c) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of £20.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales or deemed Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of £20.0 million, shall be applied as required by this Section 4.13). The first such date the aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount is equal to or in excess of £20.0 million shall be deemed the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date.

(4) securities or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that can be converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents actually received in that conversion.

(f) If any Net Cash Proceeds remain after consummation of an Net Proceeds Offer, the Issuer may use those Net Cash Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

(g) Upon the commencement of a Net Proceeds Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address.

(7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased;

(8) that Holders may elect to tender their Dollar Securities and Sterling Securities in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 and £1,000, respectively, in exchange for cash; provided, however, that any remaining portion of (i) Dollar Securities shall be in minimum denominations of $75,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount and (ii) Sterling Securities shall be in minimum denominations of £50,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 above such amount; and

To the extent Holders properly tender Securities and holders of Pari Passu Debt properly tender such Indebtedness in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the tendered Securities and Pari Passu Debt will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on aggregate amounts of Securities and Pari Passu Debt tendered. A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law.

(j) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.01, if such transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.13, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.13 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the Fair Market Value of such properties and assets of the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.13.

(k) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Securities pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.13, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such conflict.

SECTION 4.14. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an “Affiliate Transaction”), other than:

(1) Affiliate Transactions permitted under paragraph (b) below; and

-66-

(2) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are not materially less favorable than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions that are similar or part of a common plan) involving aggregate payments or other property with a Fair Market Value in excess of £5.0 million shall be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and such approval shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that such disinterested members of the Board of Directors have determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves an aggregate Fair Market Value of more than £20.0 million or as to which there are no disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.

(b) The restrictions set forth in clause (a) shall not apply to:

(1) reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or senior management;

(2) transactions exclusively between or among the Company and/or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture;

(3) any Intercompany Agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

(4) any Permitted Investment and any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.11 and any transaction specifically excluded from the definition of the term “Restricted Payment”;

-67-

(5) loans (and the cancellation of loans) or advances, or guarantees of third party loans, to employees, officers or directors of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and approved by the Board of Directors;

(6) Indebtedness and any other obligations pursuant to an agreement existing on the Issue Date (after giving effect to the Restructuring), including any amendment or other modification thereto (so long as such amendment or other modification is not disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect);

(7) any transaction with, or for the benefit of any Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); provided, however, that such Person is an Affiliate of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary solely as a result of the ownership, directly or indirectly, by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Capital Stock in such Person;

(8) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Company; or

(9) the issuance of any Subordinated Shareholder Funding.

SECTION 4.15. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective, any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;

(b) make loans or advances or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

(c) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reasons of:

(1) any agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings are

-68-

not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive than the encumbrances or restrictions contained in such agreements on the Issue Date;

(2) this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees;

(3) any applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(4) customary non-assignment provisions of, or any restrictions on each or other deposits or net worth imposed by, any contract, license or lease of any Restricted Subsidiary;

(5) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

(6) Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capitalized Lease Obligations permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (10) of Section 4.10(b) that impose limitations of the nature described in this clause (c);

(7) customary restrictions on the transfer of any property or assets arising under a security agreement governing a Lien permitted under this Indenture;

(8) any agreement governing Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that the encumbrances or restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Indebtedness are not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive than the provisions relating to such encumbrances or restrictions contained in the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(9) any agreement governing the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of any Restricted Subsidiary which restricts dividends and distributions pending such sale or disposition; and

(10) customary encumbrances or restrictions created under any agreements with respect to Indebtedness of a Guarantor permitted to be incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.10.

SECTION 4.16. Issuance of Subsidiary Guarantees.

If the Company forms or acquires any Restricted Subsidiary, or if any Restricted Subsidiary guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantors (other

-69-

than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), then the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities and this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture; and

(2) deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel (which may contain customary exceptions) that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary.

Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture until such Guarantee is released in accordance with Section 10.04. The Company may cause any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to issue a Guarantee and become a Guarantor.

SECTION 4.17. Reports to Holders.

(a) So long as any Securities are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Holders:

(1) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Company’s fiscal year information substantially equivalent to that which would be required to be included in an Annual Report of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 20-F (as in effect on that Issue Date) by a foreign private issuer subject to the Exchange Act, including all annual financial information that would be required by Form 20-F if the Company were required to prepare and file such form, including an “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” section, a presentation of EBITDA and, in relation to the annual financial statements therein only, which will be prepared on the basis of GAAP as in effect on the date of such report or financial statements (or otherwise on the basis of GAAP), a report on the financial statements included in such report by the Company’s independent auditors;

(2) within 75 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal year, unaudited consolidated income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements of the Company for such interim period and a summary financial review of such period (including a comparison against the prior year’s comparable period), including a discussion of (A) the financial condition and results of operations of the Company on a consolidated basis and material changes between the results of operations of the Company for the period under review (as compared to the same period in the prior year), (B) material developments in the business of the Company

-70-

and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the period under review and (C) material developments and trends in the industry in which the Company competes; and

(3) in each case, to be provided promptly following the event giving rise to the requirement to provide any such information, the following information that would be required to be filed with the Commission in Current Reports on Form 8-K (as in effect on the Issue Date) if the Company were required to file such reports: all the information set forth in Items (1), (2), (3), (4) and (7) of Form 8-K;

provided, however, that the reports set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above shall not be required to (a) contain any certification required by any such form or the U.S. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, (b) include any exhibit, (c) include separate financial statements for any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or any acquired business, (d) comply with Regulation G under the Exchange Act or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, (e) contain any segment data other than as contained in the Offering Memorandum or (f) contain reconciliations to U.S. GAAP.

(b) If, at any time after consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company shall nevertheless (i) furnish the reports specified in Section 4.17(a) to the Trustee and (ii) post such reports referred to in Section 4.17(a) on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the Commission.

(c) The Company shall provide the Trustee and Holders, within 10 days after it files with, or furnishes to, the Commission, copies of any other information, documents and reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or is required to furnish to the Commission pursuant to this Indenture.

(d) Following the consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Company shall file a copy of all information and reports specified in Sections 4.17(a) and 4.17(c) with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

SECTION 4.18. Limitation on Layering.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any

-71-

agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Company or of the Guarantors, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Securities or the Guarantees to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantors, as the case may be; provided that the foregoing limitation will not apply to distinctions between categories of senior Indebtedness that exist by reason of any liens or guarantees arising or created in respect of some but not all of such senior Indebtedness.

SECTION 4.19. Business Activities.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any businesses which are not the same, similar or reasonably related to the businesses in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged on the Issue Date.

(b) The Issuer shall not engage in any business activities or have any properties or liabilities other than the Indebtedness owed to it by the Company in respect of proceeds from the issuance of Securities loaned to the Company.

SECTION 4.20. Investment Company Act.

Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall take, nor omit to take, any action that would require the Issuer or any Guarantor to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 4.21. Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made by the Issuer or the Guarantors under or with respect to a Security shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of the United States, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer or the Guarantors are organized or resident for tax purposes, or within or through which payment is made, or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein (any of the aforementioned being a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer or the Guarantors is or are required to withhold or deduct any such Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.

(b) If the Issuer or the Guarantors are so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to a Security or the Guarantees, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay such

-72-

additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Holder of such Security (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction of such Taxes will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Amounts shall not be paid with respect to:

(1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of a Security (or between a fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the Holder or beneficial owner of such Security, if the Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership or corporation) and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding of the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of such Security);

(2) subject to Section 4.21(f), any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(3) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld if the Holder or beneficial owner of the Security or beneficial owner of any payment on such Security had (i) made a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption, to which it is entitled or (ii) complied with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner of such Security or any payment on such note (provided that (x) such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required by the applicable law of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of the imposition, deduction or withholding of, such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required under the applicable law of the Taxing Jurisdiction, the relevant Holder at that time has been notified by the Company, the Guarantors or any other person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required to be made);

(4) a withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to an individual which is required to be made pursuant to the EU Directive on the taxation of savings income which was adopted by the ECOFIN Council on June 3, 2003, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive;

-73-

(5) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the Security for payment within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Security became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Security been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);

(6) any payment under or with respect to a Security to any Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or any Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment or Security, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment or Security would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Security;

(7) a Security presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder who or that would have reasonably been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Security to another paying agent maintained by the Issuer in a Member State of the European Union; or

(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 Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantors.

(c) The Issuer or the Guarantors shall make any applicable withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or the Guarantors 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 the Guarantors, such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by the Issuer or the Guarantors. Copies of such receipts or other documentation shall be made available to the Holders or the Paying Agents, as applicable, upon request.

(d) At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to any Securities is due and payable, unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly paid thereafter, if the Issuer or the Guarantors shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer or the Guarantors 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

-74-

enable such Trustee and Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of such Securities on the payment date. Each Officers’ Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officers’ Certificate addressing such matters.

(e) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, or of any other amount payable under or with respect to any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include or mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(f) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Securities, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereto or hereto, excluding all such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside any jurisdiction in which a Paying Agent is located, and the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby indemnify the Holders of the Securities for any such non-excluded taxes paid by such Holders.

SECTION 4.22. Limitation of Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) After the Issue Date, the Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Company which owns Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary) as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation;

(2) the Company would be permitted under this Indenture to make a Restricted Payment pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.11 at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Investment in such Subsidiary on such date (the “Designation Amount”); and

(3) the Company would be permitted to incur £1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.10(a) at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation).

In the event of any such Designation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 4.11 for all purposes of the Indenture in the Designated Amount.

-75-

(b) The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:

(x) provide direct or indirect credit support for or a guarantee of any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);

(y) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(z) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice or lapse of time, or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary),

except, in the case of clause (x) or (y) above, to the extent permitted under Section 4.11.

(c) The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (“Revocation”), whereupon such Subsidiary shall then constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time and after giving effect to such Revocation;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such Revocation, the Company would be permitted to incur £1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.10(a); and

(3) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of this Indenture.

(d) All Designations and Revocations shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

SECTION 4.23. Excess Cash Flow Offer.

(a) Commencing with the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending December 31, 2005, and for each 12-month period ended December 31 thereafter until the Maturity Date (each such December 31 on which Excess Cash exists, an “Excess Cash Flow Offer Trigger Date”), the Issuer shall make an offer (an “Excess Cash Flow Offer”) to all

-76-

Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Securities that may be purchased using the Excess Cash for such period at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount”).

(b) Each Excess Cash Flow Offer shall be mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 120 days following the end of the applicable period, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Net Proceeds Offer, shall state

(1) that the Excess Cash Flow Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.23;

(2) the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount and the date on which payment in respect of the Excess Cash Flow Offer will be made by the Issuer (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment Date”), which shall be not less than 30 and not more than 150 days after such Excess Cash Flow Offer Trigger Date;

(3) that any Securities not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Securities accepted for payment pursuant to the Excess Cash Flow Offer shall cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to the Excess Cash Flow Offer may only elect to have all of such Security purchased and may not elect to have only a portion of such Security purchased;

(6) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to such Excess Cash Flow Offer shall be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder To Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Securities completed, or transfer such Security by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days before the Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment Date;

(7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased;

-77-

(c) On the Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Excess Cash Flow Offer; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender and/or U.K. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount in respect of all Securities or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions thereof being repurchased by the Issuer.

(d) Upon receiving notice of the Excess Cash Flow Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Dollar Securities and Pound Securities in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 and £1,000, respectively, in exchange for cash; provided, however, that any remaining portion of (i) Dollar Securities shall be in minimum denominations of $75,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount and (ii) Pound Securities shall be in minimum denominations of £50,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 above such amount. To the extent Holders properly tender Securities in an amount exceeding the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, the tendered Securities will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on aggregate amounts of Securities tendered. An Excess Cash Flow Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law. For purposes of calculating the principal amount of any Indebtedness not denominated in U.S. Dollars, such Indebtedness shall be calculated by converting such principal amounts into their Dollar Equivalent determined as of a date selected by the Issuer that is within the period of the Excess Cash Flow Offer.

(c) If and for so long as the Securities are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules or the exchange so require, the Issuer shall publish notices relating to the Excess Cash Flow Offer in a leading newspaper of general circulation in Ireland.

(d) The Issuer may use any Excess Cash that remains after consummation of an Excess Cash Flow Offer (“Eligible Excess Cash”) for any purpose not otherwise prohibited herein.

-78-

(e) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Securities pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.23, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.23 by virtue of such conflict.

(2) the Issuer fails to pay the principal on any Securities when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Securities tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer);

(3) the Company or the Issuer defaults in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained herein and such default continues for a period of 30 days after the Company receives written notice specifying the default from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of

-81-

the Securities (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

(4) a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness exists on or is created after the Issue Date, if such default (A) is caused by a failure to pay the principal of such Indebtedness after any applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “payment default”) or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates £10.0 million;

(5) the Company, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary case,

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors,

(E) takes any comparable action under any laws of jurisdictions outside the United States relating to insolvency,

(F) generally is not able to pay its debts as they become due, or

(G) takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of the foregoing;

(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(A) is for relief against the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in an involuntary case,

-82-

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

(7) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of £10.0 million not covered by adequate insurance shall have been rendered against the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and nonappealable; or

(8) a Guarantee of the Company ceases to be in full force and effect or the Guarantee is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or the Guarantee is found to be invalid or a Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of the Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture).

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6) above occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

If any other Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Securities under this Indenture may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the Securities to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and, if given by Holders, to the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities as described in the two preceding paragraphs, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

-83-

(2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, if interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(4) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and

(5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6), if 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.

(a) If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon a Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

(c) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount

-84-

of the Securities as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

(d) Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Securities except as provided in this Indenture and under the TIA. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to all provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities issued under this Indenture have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Defaults.

Provided the Securities are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any Default with respect to such Securities and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Issuer and the Trustee, except a Default (1) in the payment of interest on or the principal of any Security or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine of this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, and the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto; provided, however, that if any amendment, waiver or other modification will only affect the Dollar Securities or the Sterling Securities, only the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Dollar Securities or Sterling Securities (and not the consent of at least a majority of all Securities), as the case may be, shall be required.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

-85-

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 loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the Holder or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer and provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and the provision of indemnity; and

(5) during such 60-day period the Holder or Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request.

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

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the

-86-

Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09. 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 compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Issuer, 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, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 Holders, to pay to the Trustee and each Agent any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee or such Agent, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or such Agent 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 Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any officer committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities.

Subject to the provisions of Article Ten, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee and the Agents for amounts due under Section 7.07;

SECOND: to Holders for interest accrued on the Securities, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for interest;

THIRD: to Holders for principal amounts and Additional Amounts, if any, due and unpaid on the Securities, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal; and

FOURTH: to the Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantors, as their respective interests may appear.

-87-

The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

Within 60 days after each June 1, beginning with June 1, 2005, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §§ 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the Commission and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree for its services hereunder.

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all disbursements, expenses and advances (including fees and expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and

-92-

advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), liability or expense incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or a Guarantee against the Issuer or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for which it may seek indemnity, but the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer may, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.07, including the Lien referred to above, shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the appointment of a successor Trustee.

-93-

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee 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 notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.07, 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 Holder.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuer.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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.

-94-

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. In addition, if the Trustee is a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of the bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA § 310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Issuer are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of TIA § 310 shall apply to the Issuer and any other obligor of the Securities.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer.

The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.04 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture (with respect to such Securities) referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture (with respect to such Securities) and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all of their obligations under the Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(c) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03 (with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries only), 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07 and 4.09 through 4.22 and clauses (2) and (3) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Issuer may omit or fail to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, obligation, 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 an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, clauses (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of Section 6.01 hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.02(c) hereof, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the holders of the respective outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to 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;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture or any other any material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Issuer or the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer or the Company or others;

The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender or U.K. Legal Tender, as applicable, deposited with it pursuant to this Article Eight, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender or U.K. Legal Tender, as applicable, in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest said U.S. Legal Tender or U.K. Legal Tender, as applicable, except as it may agree with the Issuer.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal Tender or U.K. Legal Tender as applicable, and U.S. Government Securities or U.K. Government Securities, as applicable, deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities.

Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the Issuer’s request any U.S. Legal Tender or U.K. Legal Tender, as applicable, and U.S. Government Securities or U.K. Government Securities, as applicable, held by it as provided in Section 8.03 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 that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 8.05. Repayment to the Issuer.

Subject to this Article Eight, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request any excess U.S. Legal Tender or U.K. Legal Tender, as applicable, and U.S. Government Securities or U.K. Government Securities, as applicable, held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money.

30 days from the date of such publication or mailing any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person.

Subject to Section 6.07, the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Securities may waive compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any other Holders; provided, however, that if any amendment, waiver or other modification will only affect the Dollar Securities or the Sterling Securities, only the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Dollar Securities or Sterling Securities (and not the consent of at least a majority of all Securities), as the case may be, shall be required.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.02(a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

-103-

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with TIA.

From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

(a) Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of his Security by notice to the Trustee or the Issuer received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

(b) The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable.

(c) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (8) of Section 9.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Issuer may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and

-104-

cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Issuer’s expense. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with its terms. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Issuer.

ARTICLE TEN

GUARANTEES

SECTION 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

Subject to the provisions of this Article Ten, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, on a senior basis to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Issuer or any other Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder: (a) (x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the Securities and (z) the due and punctual payment and performance of all other obligations of the Issuer and all other obligations of the other Guarantors, including under the Guarantees and the Security Documents, in each case, to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, the due and punctual payment and performance of Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of

-105-

the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Issuer to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Securities, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Securities shall constitute an event of default under the Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors thereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Issuer.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Security, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and the Guarantee. The Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Ten, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Guarantee.

SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the

-106-

Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article Ten shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Ten, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee for Future Guarantors.

To further evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Subsidiary and other Person that is required to become a Guarantor hereby agrees to execute a supplement to this Indenture or a Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, and deliver it to the Trustee. Such Guarantee or supplement to this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of one Officer or other person duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of each Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Security.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Securities to reflect any Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof.

If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Security shall nevertheless be valid.

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

SECTION 10.04. Release of a Guarantor.

The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released and discharged upon:

(1) any Transfer (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor,

-107-

which sale, exchange or transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2) any Transfer directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Equity Interests of such Guarantor or any issuance by such Guarantor of its Equity Interests, which Transfer or issuance is made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, such that such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such Guarantor is also released from all of its obligations in respect of Indebtedness of the Company and each other Guarantor; or

(3) the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that such Guarantor is also released from all of its obligations in respect of all obligations of such Guarantor in respect of Indebtedness of the Company and each other Guarantor.

No such release or discharge of a Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be effective against the Trustee or the Holders of Securities to which such Guarantee relates until the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions of this Section 10.04 have been complied with and that such release and discharge is authorized and permitted under this Indenture; provided, however, that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates of the Issuer. At the request and expense of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument evidencing such release.

Except as set forth in Articles Four and Five and this Section 10.04, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

SECTION 10.05. Subrogation.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all such Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, 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 any Guarantee herein, 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

-108-

(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for purposes of this Section 10.05.

SECTION 10.06. Immediate Payment.

Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all Guarantee Obligations owing or payable to the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor by the Trustee to such Guarantor in writing.

SECTION 10.07. No Setoff.

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Guarantee Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Guarantee Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

SECTION 10.08. Guarantee Obligations Absolute.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable from such Guarantor on the basis of a Guarantee shall be recoverable from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor, and not merely as surety, in respect thereof.

SECTION 10.09. Guarantee Obligations Continuing.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the Trustee may advise and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 10.10. Guarantee Obligations Not Reduced.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other

If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Issuer or any other Guarantor is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or such Guarantor, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein.

(a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Issuer or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Issuer or any other Person;

(j) any other circumstance, including release of the Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.04 (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Securities or of a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder.

Any Opinion of Counsel may be based and may state that it is so based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon an Officers’ Certificate or a certificate of a public official stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless the counsel signing such Opinion of Counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the Officers’ Certificate with respect to the matters upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based is erroneous.

SECTION 12.08. Governing Law.

This Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees, if any, will 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.

SECTION 12.09. Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities.

(a) By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer and each Guarantor (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably designated and appointed Corporation Services Company, 1133 Avenue of the Americas, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, (and any successor entity) as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture, the Securities, the Guarantees and the Security Documents that may be instituted in any Federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the State of New York, or brought under Federal or state securities laws, and acknowledges that Corporation Services Company has accepted such designation, (ii) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit or proceeding and (iii) agrees that service of process upon Corporation Services Company and written notice of said service to the Issuer in accordance with this Section 12.09 shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Issuer or any Guarantor, if any, in any such suit or proceeding. The Issuer and each Guarantor further agree to take any and all such action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of Corporation Services Company in full force and effect so long as this Indenture shall be in full force and effect or any of the Securities shall be outstanding; provided, however, that the Issuer or any Guarantor may, by written notice to the Trustee, designate such additional or alternative agent for service of process under this Section 12.09 that (i) maintains an office located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the State of New York, (ii) is a corporate service company which acts as agent for service of process for other Persons in the ordinary course of its business and (iii) agrees to act as agent

-127-

for service of process in accordance with this Section 12.09. Such notice shall identify the name of such agent for process and the address of such agent for process in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the State of New York.

(b) 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 Securities, the Guarantees and the Security Documents. 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 above-mentioned courts 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 Securities, the Guarantees or the Security Documents or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in such courts.

(c) The Issuer and each Guarantor 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. Nothing in this Section 12.09 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.

SECTION 12.10. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

SECTION 12.11. No Recourse Against Others.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent corporation or of any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

SECTION 12.12. Successors.

All agreements of the Issuer in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successor.

-128-

SECTION 12.13. Duplicate Originals.

All parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy or counterpart shall be an original, but all of them together shall represent the same agreement.

SECTION 12.14. Severability.

In case any one or more of the provisions in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the provisions hereof shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

SECTION 12.15. Currency of Account; Conversion of Currency; Foreign Exchange Restrictions.

(a) U.S. Dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer and the Guarantors under or in connection with the Dollar Securities, the Guarantees of the Dollar Securities or this Indenture to the extent it relates to the Dollar Securities, including damages related thereto, and pounds sterling are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer and the Guarantors under or in connection with the Sterling Securities, the Guarantees of the Sterling Securities or this Indenture to the extent it relates to the Sterling Securities, including damages related thereto. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. Dollars by a Holder of Dollar Securities or pounds sterling by a Holder of Sterling Securities (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer or otherwise) in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer shall only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the U.S. Dollar or pounds sterling amount, as the case may be, which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that U.S. Dollar or pounds sterling amount is less than the U.S. Dollar or pounds sterling amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the applicable Securities, the Issuer shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result as set forth in Section 12.15(b). In any event, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 12.15, it will be sufficient for the Holder of a Security to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. Dollars or pounds sterling, as the case may be, been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. Dollars or pounds sterling, as applicable, on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner

-129-

mentioned above). The indemnities set forth in this Section 12.15 constitute separate and independent obligations from other obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder of the Securities and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under the Securities.

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, covenant and agree that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture:

(1) (A) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in any other currency (the “Base Currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine).

(B) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or an order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Issuer and the Guarantors will pay such additional (or, as the case may be, such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in the Base Currency originally due.

(2) In the event of the winding-up of the Issuer or any Guarantor at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify and hold the Holders and the Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which the U.S. Dollar Equivalent or equivalent amount in pounds sterling, as applicable, of the amount due or contingently due under the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture (other than under this Section 12.15(b)(2)) is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (ii) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this Section 12.15(b)(2), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Issuer or such Guarantor may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.

-130-

(c) The obligations contained in Sections 12.15(a), (b)(1)(B) and (b)(2) shall constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Issuer and the Guarantors, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder or the Trustee or either of them from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Issuer or any Guarantor for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under Section 12.15(b)(2) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Issuer or any Guarantor or the liquidator or otherwise or any of them. In the case of Section 12.15(b)(2) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution.

(d) The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by Reuters at 10:00 a.m. (New York time) for spot purchases of the Base Currency with the Judgment Currency other than the Base Currency referred to in Sections 12.15(b)(1) and (b)(2) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable.

Global Crossing (UK) Finance Plc

10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2014

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

SECTION 1. Interest. Global Crossing (UK) Finance Plc, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Dollar Security at 10.75% per annum from December 23, 2004 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Dollar Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Dollar Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 15, 2005. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, from time to time on demand to the extent lawful at the interest rate applicable to the Dollar Securities; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30 day months.

SECTION 2. Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on the Dollar Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Dollar Securities at the close of business on the December 1 or June 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date (each a “Record Date”), even if such Dollar Securities are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Dollar Securities will be issued in denominations of $75,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Dollar Securities in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). Principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Dollar Securities will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, Additional Amounts and interest with respect to Dollar Securities the Holders of which have given wire

A-4

transfer instructions to the Issuer prior to the Record Date will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer’s office or agency in the City of New York will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

SECTION 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any Affiliate may act in any such capacity.

SECTION 4. Indenture. The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of December 23, 2004 (“Indenture”) among the Issuer, Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Limited, STT Communications Ltd., the Trustee and AIB/BNY Fund Management (Ireland) Limited. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

SECTION 5. Optional Redemption. (a) The Dollar Securities may be redeemed, at the Issuer’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on and after December 15, 2009 at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amounts thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on December 15 of the applicable year set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption:


Year	Percentage
2009	105.375	%
2010	103.583	%
2011	101.792	%
2012 and thereafter	100.000	%

(b) Prior to December 15, 2009, the Issuer may redeem the Dollar Securities, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any to the redemption date, plus the Make-Whole Premium.

“Applicable Rate” for any redemption date, means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the Make-Whole Redemption Date of such Dollar Security (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the

A-5

Make-Whole Redemption Date to December 15, 2009; provided, however, that if the period from the Make-Whole Redemption Date to December 15, 2009 is not equal to the constant maturity of a Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Applicable Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Make-Whole Redemption Date to December 15, 2009 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

“Make-Whole Premium” means an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Dollar Security and (ii) the excess of (x) the present value of the sum of the principal amount and premium, if any, that would be payable on such Dollar Security on December 15, 2009 and all remaining interest payments to and including December 15, 2009 (but excluding any interest accrued to the Make-Whole Redemption Date), discounted on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) from December 15, 2009 to the Make-Whole Redemption Date at a per annum interest rate equal to the Applicable Rate on such Make-Whole Redemption Date plus 0.50%, over (y) the outstanding principal amount of such Dollar Security.

“Make-Whole Redemption Date” with respect to a Make-Whole Redemption, means the date such Make-Whole Redemption is effected.

SECTION 6. Optional Redemption upon Equity Offering. At any time, or from time to time, prior to December 15, 2007, the Issuer may, at its option, use all or any portion of the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (as defined below) to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Securities issued at a redemption price equal to 110.750% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Dollar Securities originally issued remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption. In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Equity Offering, the Issuer shall consummate such redemption not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

“Equity Offering” means any issuance of, or contribution on account of, Qualified Capital Stock of the Company.

SECTION 7. Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes. The Issuer is entitled to redeem the Dollar Securities, at its option, at any time as a whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in the event the Issuer has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities, any Additional Amounts as a result of:

(1) a change in or an amendment to any laws or treaties (including any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein); or

A-6

(2) any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, rulings or regulations, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the Issue Date,

and the Issuer cannot avoid such obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it, provided that the Issuer shall not be required to take any measures that, in its reasonable determination, would result in the imposition on it of any legal or regulatory burden or the incurrence by it of any additional costs, or would otherwise result in any adverse consequences. The foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis to the laws and official positions of any jurisdiction in which any successor permitted under Section 5.01 of the Indenture is organized, but (in the case of any jurisdiction other than Ireland) only with respect to events arising after the date of succession to the extent the foregoing did not apply to such events prior to the date of succession.

Before publishing or mailing notice of redemption of the Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Issuer cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. The Issuer will also deliver an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing to the extent that the Issuer would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change or amendment described above.

SECTION 8. Mandatory Redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, an offer to purchase pursuant to Section 9 hereof shall not be deemed a redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 9. 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 Company shall make an offer to purchase outstanding Securities in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

SECTION 10. Optionholder’s Right to Purchase. Pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Indenture, if an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(1) or Section 6.01(2) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, or upon enforcement action taken by the Trustee, the Optionholder has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the Securities then outstanding. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Optionholder, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and Holders in respect of the Purchase Option.

A-7

SECTION 11. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. Dollar Securities in denominations larger than $75,000 may be redeemed in part. If any Dollar Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Dollar Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Dollar Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Dollar Security. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Dollar Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

SECTION 12. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Dollar Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $75,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Dollar Securities may be registered and Dollar Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer or the Registrar is not required to transfer or exchange any Dollar Security selected for redemption.

SECTION 13. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Dollar Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

SECTION 14. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Dollar Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

SECTION 15. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities generally may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately.

Holders of the Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of the Securities or in respect of certain covenants set forth in the Indenture.

The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

SECTION 17. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent corporation or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Securities, the Indenture, the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

SECTION 18. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

Global Crossing (UK) Finance Plc

11.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2014

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

SECTION 1. Interest. Global Crossing (UK) Finance Plc, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Sterling Security at 11.75% per annum from December 23, 2004 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Sterling Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Sterling Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 15, 2005. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, from time to time on demand to the extent lawful at the interest rate applicable to the Sterling Securities; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30 day months.

SECTION 2. Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on the Sterling Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Sterling Securities at the close of business on December 1 or June 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date (each a “Record Date”), even if such Sterling Securities are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Sterling Securities will be issued in denominations of £50,000 and integral multiples of £1,000. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Sterling Securities in such coin or currency of the United Kingdom as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.K. Legal Tender”). Principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Sterling Securities will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, Additional Amounts and interest with respect to Securities the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer prior to the Record Date will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Until

B-4

otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer’s offices or agencies in the City of New York and London, England will be the offices of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

SECTION 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any Affiliate may act in any such capacity.

SECTION 5. Optional Redemption. (a) The Sterling Securities may be redeemed, at the Issuer’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on and after December 15, 2009 at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amounts thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on December 15 of the applicable year set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption:


Year	Percentage
2009	105.875	%
2010	103.917	%
2011	101.958	%
2012 and thereafter	100.000	%

(b) Prior to December 15, 2009, the Issuer may redeem the Sterling Securities, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any to the redemption date, plus the Make-Whole Premium.

“Applicable Rate” for any redemption date, means yield to maturity of UK Government securities with a fixed maturity from information compiled by the Office for National Statistics and published in the most recent Financial Statistics that have become publicly available at least two Business Days in London prior to the make whole Redemption Date of such Sterling Security most nearly equal to the period from the make-whole Redemption Date to December 15, 2009; provided, however, that if such Financial Statistics are no longer published or do not indicate the relevant yield to maturity at the time of computation, the Issuer shall use any publicly available source of similar market data most nearly equal to the period from such Make-Whole Redemption Date to December 15, 2009;

B-5

provided, further however, that if the period from such Make-Whole Redemption Date to December 15, 2009 is not equal to the fixed maturity of U.K. Government Securities for which a yield is given, the Applicable Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the yields of U.K. Government Securities for which such yields are given except that if the period from such redemption date to December 15, 2009 is less than one year, the Issuer shall use the weekly average yield on actually traded U.K. Government Securities denominated in sterling adjusted to a fixed maturity of one year to make such calculation.

“Make-Whole Premium” means an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Sterling Security and (ii) the excess of (x) the present value of the sum of the principal amount and premium, if any, that would be payable on such Sterling Security on December 15, 2009 and all remaining interest payments to and including December 15, 2009 (but excluding any interest accrued to the Make-Whole Redemption Date), discounted on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) from December 15, 2009 to the Make-Whole Redemption Date at a per annum interest rate equal to the Applicable Rate on such Make-Whole Redemption Date plus 0.50%, over (y) the outstanding principal amount of such Sterling Security.

“Make-Whole Redemption Date” with respect to a Make-Whole Redemption, means the date such Make-Whole Redemption is effected.

SECTION 6. Optional Redemption upon Equity Offering. At any time, or from time to time, prior to December 15, 2007, the Issuer may, at its option, use all or any portion of the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (as defined below) to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Sterling Securities issued at a redemption price equal to 111.750% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Sterling Securities originally issued remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption. In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Equity Offering, the Issuer shall consummate such redemption not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

“Equity Offering” means any issuance of, or contribution on account of, Qualified Capital Stock of the Company.

SECTION 7. Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes. The Issuer is entitled to redeem the Sterling Securities, at its option, at any time as a whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in the event the Issuer has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities, any Additional Amounts as a result of:

B-6

SECTION 8. Mandatory Redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, an offer to purchase pursuant to Section 9 hereof shall not be deemed a redemption. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 9. 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 Securities in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

B-7

SECTION 11. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. Sterling Securities in denominations larger than £50,000 may be redeemed in part. If any Sterling Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Sterling Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Sterling Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Sterling Security. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Sterling Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

SECTION 12. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Sterling Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of £50,000 and integral multiples of £1,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer or the Registrar is not required to transfer or exchange any Sterling Security selected for redemption. The Company or the Registrar is not required to transfer or exchange any Sterling Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Sterling Securities to be redeemed.

SECTION 13. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Sterling Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

SECTION 14. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Sterling Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, provide for uncertificated Sterling Securities in addition to certificated Sterling Securities, comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security; provided, however, that if any amendment, waiver or other modification will only affect the Dollar Securities or the Sterling Securities, only the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Dollar Securities or Sterling Securities (and not the consent of at least a majority of all Securities), as the case may be, shall be required.

B-8

immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency as set forth in the Indenture, with respect to the Company or the Issuer, all outstanding Securities will become due and payable without further action or notice.

(2) either (a) at the time the buy offer was originated, the transferee was outside the United States or we and any person acting on our behalf reasonably believed that the transferee was outside the United States, or (b) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market and neither we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States;

(3) no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b) or Rule 904(b) of Regulation S, as applicable;
