On December 17, 2024, a scheme of arrangement under Jersey law (the “Scheme”) was completed pursuant to which the ordinary shares of Aptiv Irish Holdings Limited (formerly known as Aptiv PLC), a company organized under the laws of Jersey and the then publicly traded parent company of the Aptiv group and which was renamed to “Aptiv Irish Holdings Limited” in connection with the Scheme (the “Predecessor”), were cancelled and the holders thereof received, on a one-for-one basis, ordinary shares of Aptiv PLC (formerly known as Aptiv Holdings Limited), a public limited company organized under the laws of Jersey (“Aptiv PLC”). Following the Scheme, Aptiv PLC became the publicly traded parent company of the Aptiv group, and the Predecessor became a wholly owned subsidiary of Aptiv PLC. On December 19, 2024, the Predecessor merged with and into Aptiv Swiss Holdings Limited (“Aptiv Swiss Holdings”) (the “Merger”), with Aptiv Swiss Holdings surviving the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, Aptiv Swiss Holdings succeeded to and assumed the obligations of the Predecessor as the issuer under Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ senior indenture and Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ subordinated indenture.

In this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “Aptiv,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Aptiv PLC. As the context may require, “we,” “us” and “our” refers only to Aptiv PLC and the subsidiary registrants who may sell securities pursuant to this prospectus from time to time.

SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contains forward-looking statements that reflect, when made, our current views with respect to current events, certain investments and acquisitions and financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are subject to many risks, uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, which may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results, express or implied, by such forward-looking statements. All statements that address future operating, financial or business performance or our strategies or expectations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” “outlook” or “continue,” and other comparable terminology. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: global and regional economic conditions, including conditions affecting the credit market; global inflationary pressures; uncertainties created by the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and its impacts to the European and global economies and our operations in each country; uncertainties created by the conflicts in the Middle East and their impacts on global economies; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; the cyclical nature of global automotive sales and production; the potential disruptions in the supply of and changes in the competitive environment for raw material and other components integral to our products, including the ongoing semiconductor supply shortage; our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations; potential changes to beneficial free trade laws and regulations, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement; changes to tax laws; future significant public health crises; our ability to integrate and realize the expected benefits of recent transactions; our ability to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives; our ability to avoid or continue to operate during a strike, or partial work stoppage or slow down by any of our unionized employees or those of our principal customers; and our ability to attract and retain customers. Additional factors are discussed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30 2024. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. It should be remembered that the price of the ordinary shares and any income from them can go down as well as up. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events and/or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.

RISK FACTORS

Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and in our then most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in any updates to those risk factors in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, acquisitions, retirement of debt and other business opportunities. In the case of a sale by a selling shareholder, we will not receive any of the proceeds from such sale.

5

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association (as amended, our “Articles of Association” and “Memorandum of Association,” respectively). Reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and the descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association, which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and applicable law.

Ordinary Shares

As of September 30, 2024, there were 234,992,960 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. All outstanding ordinary shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The ordinary shares do not have preemptive, subscription or redemption rights. Neither our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association nor the laws of Jersey restrict in any way the ownership or voting of ordinary shares held by non-residents of Jersey.

Our Board may issue authorized but unissued ordinary shares, and the selling shareholders identified in a prospectus supplement may sell ordinary shares, without further shareholder action, unless shareholder action is required by applicable law or by the rules of a stock exchange or quotation system on which any series of our shares may be listed or quoted.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive equally, share for share, any dividends that may be declared in respect of our ordinary shares by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. If, in the future, we declare cash dividends, such dividends will be payable in U.S. dollars. In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, holders of ordinary shares are entitled to share pro rata in our net assets. Such rights may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class or series of preferred shares that may be authorized in the future. Our Board of Directors has the power to declare such interim dividends as it determines. Declaration of a final dividend (not exceeding the amounts proposed by our Board of Directors) requires shareholder approval by adoption of an ordinary resolution. Failure to obtain such shareholder approval does not affect previously paid interim dividends.

Voting, Shareholder Meetings and Resolutions. Holders of ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of ordinary shares. These voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class or series of preferred shares that may be authorized in the future. Pursuant to Jersey law, an annual general meeting shall be held once every calendar year at the time (within a period of not more than 18 months after the last preceding annual general meeting) and at the place as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The quorum required for an ordinary meeting of shareholders consists of shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent between them a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting.

An ordinary resolution (such as a resolution for the declaration of dividends) requires approval by the holders of a majority of the voting rights represented at a meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting thereon.

Amendments to Governing Documents. A special resolution (such as, for example, a resolution amending our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association or approving any change in authorized capitalization, or a liquidation or winding-up) requires approval of the holders of two-thirds of the voting rights represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting thereon. A special resolution can only be considered if shareholders receive at least fourteen days’ prior notice of the meeting at which such resolution will be considered.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. Our Articles of Association establish advance notice and related procedures with respect to shareholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors.

Limits on Written Consents. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of shareholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such shareholders.

Transfer of Shares and Notices. Fully paid ordinary shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred pursuant to the Articles of Association unless the transfer is restricted by applicable securities laws or prohibited by another instrument. Each shareholder of record is entitled to receive at least fourteen days’ prior notice (excluding the day of notice and the day of the meeting) of an ordinary shareholders’ meeting and of any shareholders’ meeting at which a special resolution is to be adopted. For the purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice and to vote at the meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date for any such determination.

6

Modification of Class Rights. The rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of that class), such as voting, dividends and the like, may be varied with the sanction of an ordinary resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Election and Removal of Directors. The ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. As a result, the holders of ordinary shares that represent more than 50% of the voting power have the power to elect any of our directors who are up for election. All of our directors will be elected at each annual meeting.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of 10 directors. Our Articles of Association state that shareholders may only remove a director for cause. Our Board of Directors has sole power to fill any vacancy occurring as a result of the death, disability, removal or resignation of a director or as a result of an increase in the size of the Board of Directors.

Preferred Shares

We have 50,000,000 authorized preferred shares. As of September 30, 2024, we had no preferred shares issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred shares in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such shares, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series, without further vote or action by the shareholders.

When we offer to sell a particular series of preferred shares, we will describe the specific terms of the securities in a supplement to this prospectus. The preferred shares will be issued under a statement of rights relating to each series of preferred shares and they are also subject to our Articles of Association.

Our Board may issue authorized preferred shares without further shareholder action, unless shareholder action is required by applicable law or by the rules of a stock exchange or quotation system on which any series of our shares may be listed or quoted.

All preferred shares offered will be fully paid and non-assessable. Any preferred shares that are issued may have priority over the ordinary shares with respect to dividend or liquidation rights or both.

The purpose of authorizing the Board of Directors to issue preferred shares and to determine their rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a shareholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred shares, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible equity financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting shares.

Comparison of United States and Jersey Corporate Law

The following discussion is a summary of the material differences between United States and Jersey corporate law relevant to an investment in the ordinary shares. The following discussion is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change.

As in most United States jurisdictions, unless approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, our directors do not have the power to take certain actions, including an amendment of our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association or an increase or reduction in our authorized capital. Directors of a Jersey corporation, without shareholder approval, in certain instances may, among other things, implement certain sales, transfers, exchanges or dispositions of assets, property, parts of the business or securities of the corporation; or any combination thereof, if they determine any such action is in the best interests of the corporation, its creditors or its shareholders.

7

As in most United States jurisdictions, the board of directors of a Jersey corporation is charged with the management of the affairs of the corporation. In most United States jurisdictions, directors owe a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders, including a duty of care, pursuant to which directors must properly apprise themselves of all reasonably available information, and a duty of loyalty, pursuant to which they must protect the interests of the corporation and refrain from conduct that injures the corporation or its shareholders or that deprives the corporation or its shareholders of any profit or advantage. Many United States jurisdictions have enacted various statutory provisions that permit the monetary liability of directors to be eliminated or limited. Jersey law protecting the interests of shareholders may not be as protective in all circumstances as the law protecting shareholders in United States jurisdictions. Under our Articles of Association, we are required to indemnify every present and former officer of ours out of our assets against any loss or liability incurred by such officer by reason of being or having been such an officer. The extent of such indemnities shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended.

In most United States jurisdictions, the Board of Directors is permitted to authorize share repurchases without shareholder consent. Jersey law does not permit share repurchases without shareholder consent. However, our Articles of Association permit our Board of Directors to convert any of our shares that we wish to purchase into redeemable shares, and thus effectively allow our Board of Directors to authorize share repurchases (which shall be effected by way of redemption) without shareholder consent, consistent with the practice in most United States jurisdictions.

Listing

Our ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “APTV.” We will describe the listing of any series of preferred shares in the prospectus supplement for such series.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The U.S. transfer agent and registrar for the ordinary shares is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. The U.S. transfer agent and registrar’s address is 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, Attention: Client Administration. Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited is the transfer agent and registrar for the ordinary shares in Jersey and its address is 13 Castle Street, St Helier, Jersey JE1 1ES.

The transfer agent for each series of preferred shares will be described in the prospectus supplement for such series.

Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corporation (“Aptiv Corp.”) or Aptiv Global Financing Designated Activity Company (formerly known as Aptiv Global Financing Limited) (“AGFDAC”) may offer debt securities, subject to the consent of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, if required. This prospectus describes certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities. When Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, the specific terms for the securities will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus. The prospectus supplement will also indicate whether the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities.

Aptiv PLC’s senior debt securities would be issued under a senior indenture among Aptiv PLC, the guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as registrar, paying agent and authenticating agent (the “Registrar and Paying Agent”). Aptiv PLC’s subordinated debt securities would be issued under a subordinated indenture among Aptiv PLC, the guarantors party thereto, the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent.

Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ senior debt securities would be issued under the senior indenture dated as of March 10, 2015, as supplemented from time to time, among Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv PLC, the other guarantors party thereto, the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent. Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ subordinated debt securities would be issued under the subordinated indenture dated as of September 13, 2024, as supplemented from time to time, among Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv PLC, the other guarantors party thereto, the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent. On December 19, 2024, the Predecessor merged with and into Aptiv Swiss Holdings (the “Merger”), with Aptiv Swiss Holdings surviving the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, Aptiv Swiss Holdings succeeded to and assumed the obligations of the Predecessor as the issuer under Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ senior indenture and Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ subordinated indenture.

Aptiv Corp.’s senior debt securities would be issued under a senior indenture dated as of February 14, 2013, as supplemented, among Aptiv Corp., Aptiv PLC, as a guarantor, the other guarantors party thereto, the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent.

This prospectus refers to each of Aptiv PLC’s senior indenture, Aptiv PLC’s subordinated indenture, Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ senior indenture, Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ subordinated indenture, Aptiv Corp.’s senior indenture, Aptiv Corp.’s subordinated indenture, AGFDAC’s senior indenture and AGFDAC’s subordinated indenture individually as the “indenture” and collectively as the “indentures.” We refer to Aptiv PLC’s senior indenture, Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ senior indenture, Aptiv Corp.’s senior indenture and AGFDAC’s senior indenture collectively as the “senior indentures” and each individually as a “senior indenture.” We refer to Aptiv PLC’s subordinated indenture, Aptiv Swiss Holdings’ subordinated indenture, Aptiv Corp.’s subordinated indenture and AGFDAC’s subordinated indenture collectively as the “subordinated indentures” and each individually as a “subordinated indenture.”

We have summarized certain terms and provisions of the indentures. The summary is not complete. The indentures have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which we have filed with the SEC. You should read the indentures for the provisions which may be important to you. The indentures are subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The senior indentures and the subordinated indentures are substantially identical, except for the provisions relating to subordination. See “—Subordinated Debt.”

We, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC may issue debt securities up to an aggregate principal amount as we, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC may authorize from time to time. The prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any debt securities being offered, including:

The specific subordination terms will be set forth in a supplemental indenture to the relevant subordinated indenture and described in the prospectus supplement for the relevant series of debt.

Guarantees

Each prospectus supplement will describe any guarantees of debt securities for the benefit of the series of debt securities to which it relates. Debt securities issued by Aptiv PLC may be guaranteed by any of the subsidiary registrants under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Debt securities issued by Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC will be guaranteed by Aptiv PLC and may be guaranteed by any of the subsidiary registrants. The guarantees will be full and unconditional on a joint and several basis. Each of the subsidiary guarantors (the “Guarantors”) is 100% owned by Aptiv PLC.

Concerning the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent

Unless otherwise provided in respect of a series of debt securities, Wilmington Trust, National Association is the Trustee under each indenture and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the Registrar and Paying Agent with regard to each series of debt securities. The Trustee and its affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, financial or other transactions with Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp, AGFDAC and the Guarantors and their and our affiliates in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Aptiv Corp. may also issue warrants to purchase its debt securities or securities of third parties or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between the issuer of such warrants and a warrant agent. The terms of any warrants to be issued and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of any warrants in respect of which this prospectus and such prospectus supplement is being delivered:

12

DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS

Aptiv PLC may, subject to the consent of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, if required, issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of:

Aptiv Corp. may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of:

Each purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate the issuer thereof to sell or purchase, on specified dates, such securities, currencies or commodities at a specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Aptiv PLC or Aptiv Corp., as applicable, may, however, satisfy its obligations, if any, with respect to any purchase contract by delivering the cash value of such purchase contract or the cash value of the property otherwise deliverable or, in the case of purchase contracts on underlying currencies, by delivering the underlying currencies, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such securities, currencies or commodities and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.

The purchase contracts may require the issuer thereof to make periodic payments to the holders thereof or vice versa, which payments may be deferred to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, and those payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require the holders thereof to secure their obligations in a specified manner to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Alternatively, purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the purchase contracts are issued. The issuer’s obligation to settle such pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute indebtedness. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts will be issued under one or more of the indentures.

13

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, subject to the consent of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, if required, Aptiv PLC may issue units consisting of one or more purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities, preferred shares, ordinary shares or any combination of such securities and Aptiv Corp. may issue units consisting of one or more purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities or any combination of such securities. The applicable supplement will describe:

14

FORMS OF SECURITIES

Each debt security, warrant and unit will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Global Securities

Registered Global Securities. Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC may issue the registered debt securities, warrants and units, as applicable, in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.

If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.

So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC requests any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

15

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities, and any payments to holders with respect to warrants or units, represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp., AGFDAC, the trustees, the warrant agents, the unit agents or any other agent of Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC, agent of the trustees or agent of the warrant agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

If the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC, as applicable, will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of theirs or of Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Swiss Holdings, Aptiv Corp. or AGFDAC. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Aptiv Corporation

Aptiv Corporation is a Delaware corporation. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) enables a corporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the director’s fiduciary duty, except:

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of Aptiv Corporation includes a provision eliminating, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the liability of Aptiv Corporation’s directors to Aptiv Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or any individual serving at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another organization, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding provided that such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided further that such director, officer, employee or agent had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

II-1

The DGCL provides that the indemnification described above shall not be deemed exclusive of any other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation pursuant to its by-laws, disinterested directors’ vote, stockholders’ vote, agreement or otherwise.

The DGCL also provides corporations with the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in a similar capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability as described above.

In accordance with Section 145(a) of the DGCL, Aptiv Corporation’s bylaws provide that every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person, or such person’s testator or intestate, is or was serving as a director or officer of or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or as a member of any committee or similar body, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the DGCL against all expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (including appeals) or the defense or settlement thereof or any claim, issue, or matter therein. Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending such an action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by such company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay any amount if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification by such corporation as authorized by the relevant sections of the DGCL.

Aptiv PLC

Aptiv PLC is a company organized under the laws of Jersey. Under its Articles of Association, Aptiv PLC is required to indemnify every present and former “officer” of Aptiv PLC out of the assets of Aptiv PLC against any loss or liability incurred by such officer by reason of being or having been such an officer. The extent of such indemnities shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended.

Aptiv Swiss Holdings Limited

Aptiv Swiss Holdings Limited is a company organized under the laws of Jersey. Under its Articles of Association, Aptiv Swiss Holdings is required to indemnify every present and former “officer” of Aptiv Swiss Holdings out of the assets of Aptiv Swiss Holdings against any loss or liability incurred by such officer by reason of being or having been such an officer. The extent of such indemnities shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended.

Aptiv Global Financing Designated Activity Company

Aptiv Global Financing Designated Activity Company (formerly known as Aptiv Global Financing Limited) is a designated activity company incorporated under the laws of Ireland. Under the constitution of Aptiv Global Financing Designated Activity Company its directors and officers are indemnified, but only to following limited extent as permitted by Irish law. The constitution of Aptiv Global Financing Designated Activity Company provides that each director and other officer is indemnified out of the assets of Aptiv Global Financing Designated Activity Company against (i) any liability incurred by that officer in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in relation to that officer’s acts while acting in such capacity in which judgment is given in that officer’s favor or in which that officer is acquitted (ii) any liability incurred in connection with any proceedings or application referred to in, or under, sections 233 or 234 of the Companies Act 2014 (as amended) of Ireland (the “Companies Act”) in which relief is granted to the officer by the Irish court and (iii) all losses that an officer may sustain or incur in or about the execution of that officer’s duties or otherwise in relation to his/her office. However, this indemnity in the constitution of Aptiv Global Financing Designated Activity Company is limited by and made subject to section 235 of the Companies Act. Section 235 provides that any indemnity of an Irish company will be void to the extent it purports to indemnify any officer of that company against any liability which, by virtue of any enactment or rule of law, would otherwise attach that officer in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or reach of trust of which that officer may be guilty in relation to the company.

All Notes of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided by the Issuer, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Notes of such series or to establish additional terms of such series of Notes.

Section 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment, or may appoint an agent for such purpose (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.

While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.

12

Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (A) above, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note of the same series or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note of the same series or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.07 or Sections 2.08 and 2.11 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except for Certificated Notes issued subsequent to any of the preceding events in (A) or (B) above and pursuant to Section 2.07(c) hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.07(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.07(b) or (c) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.07(b)(i).

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.07(b)(i) hereof, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant or Indirect Participant account to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Certificated Note of the same series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Certificated Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.07(g) hereof.

13

(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Certificated Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Certificated Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Certificated Note, then, upon the occurrence of any of the events in subsection (A) of Section 2.07(a) hereof and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.07(b)(ii) hereof, the Registrar shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.07(g) hereof, and the Issuer shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and mail to the Person designated in the instructions a Certificated Note in the applicable principal amount. Any Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar through instructions from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Registrar shall mail such Certificated Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

(d) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Certificated Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Certificated Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Registrar shall cancel the applicable Certificated Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes.

If any such exchange or transfer from a Certificated Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) above at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Certificated Notes so transferred.

(e) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Certificated Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Certificated Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.07(e), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Certificated Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Registrar the Certificated Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Certificated Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof. In addition, the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, that the Registrar may reasonably request.

(f) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (with appropriate changes in the last sentence if DTC is not the Depositary) (the “Global Note Legend”):

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE REGISTRAR

OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Certificated Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Registrar in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Certificated Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Registrar to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Registrar to reflect such increase.

(iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (b) any Note for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes or 15 days before an Interest Payment Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date or other date determined for the payment of interest), and ending on such mailing date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be.

(iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(v) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(i) No Obligation of the Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent.

(i) The Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note in global form shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary.

Section 2.08. Replacement Notes.

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

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note had become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion, may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Every replacement Note of a series is an additional obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of such series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note.

Section 2.09. Outstanding Notes.

(a) The Notes of a series outstanding at any time are all the Notes of such series authenticated by the Authenticating Agent except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Registrar in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 2.10 hereof.

(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Registrar receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

(d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof) segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a date of redemption (a “Redemption Date”) or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes of a series payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.10. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a series have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to such series, Notes of such series owned by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Notes of such series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all outstanding Notes, if any, known to the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept and rely upon such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth.

Section 2.11. Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes of a series are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes of such series. Such temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Notes of the relevant series but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes of such series and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Authenticating Agent. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Certificated Notes of a series in exchange for temporary Notes of such series.

Holders of temporary Notes of any series shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.12. Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Registrar for cancellation. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Registrar any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Registrar, upon direction by the Issuer and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer from time to time upon written request. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Registrar for cancellation.

18

Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes of a series, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes of such series and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each such Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.13. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such special record date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Paying Agent in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder for the relevant series of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note of the same series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note of such series.

Section 2.14. CUSIP or ISIN Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Notes of any series may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Issuer and Registrar, as applicable, shall use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” 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 of such numbers either as printed on the Notes of such series or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes of such series, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify, in writing, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01. Applicability of Article.

If the Issuer elects to redeem any series of Notes pursuant to any optional or mandatory redemption provisions set forth in respect of any series of Notes, the provisions of this Article 3 will apply except as otherwise specified in respect of a series of Notes.

19

Section 3.02. Notices to Trustee.

The Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and the applicable Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the section or paragraph number of the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture for such series pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes of the series to be redeemed, (iv) the redemption price, and (v) any conditions precedent applicable to the redemption of such Notes. If the Issuer elects to redeem any series of Notes pursuant to the provisions set forth in respect of any series of Notes, it shall furnish such Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the applicable Agent at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the applicable Agent. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall, therefore, be void and of no effect.

Section 3.03. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes of any series are to be redeemed or purchased at any time, the Registrar and Paying Agent shall select the Notes of such series to be redeemed or purchased, (i) if the applicable Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the applicable Notes are listed, or (ii) if the applicable Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Registrar and Paying Agent from the outstanding Notes of such series not previously called for redemption.

The Paying Agent and Registrar shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes of a series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes of such series selected shall be in amounts of $200,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of such series of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture or the applicable Officer’s Certificate(s) or supplemental indenture(s) that apply to Notes of a series called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes of such series called for redemption.

Section 3.04. Notice of Redemption.

At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or in the case of a Global Note, delivered in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes of a series to be redeemed (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) and shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the redemption price;

20

(c) if any Note of such series is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note of such series;

(d) any conditions precedent applicable to the redemption of such Notes;

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

(f) that Notes of such series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(g) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes of such series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(h) the paragraph of the Notes of such series and section or paragraph number of the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Notes of such series called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes of such series.

At the Issuer’s request, the Registrar shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense, provided, however, that the Issuer gives the Registrar at least 3 Business Days prior notice of such request.

Section 3.05. Effect of Notice Upon Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, Notes of a series called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price stated in the notice except that any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date). Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

Section 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City Time on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions of Notes) of a series to be redeemed on that date. Upon written instructions of the Issuer, the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes of such series to be redeemed.

21

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes of a series called for redemption, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. If any Note of a series called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes of such series (or the Yield to Maturity, in the case of an Discount Note) and in the manner provided in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.07. Notes Redeemed in Part.

In the case of Certificated Notes, upon surrender of a Note of a series that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon the Issuer’s written request, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note of such series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS

Section 4.01. Payment of Notes.

The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, the Notes of each series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes of such series.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to pay interest to Holders by check mailed directly to Holders at their registered addresses or, with respect to Global Notes, by wire transfer. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months or as otherwise provided in the Notes.

(a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office or drop facility of the Registrar) where the Notes of each series may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes of each series and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby initially appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

22

(b) The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes of each series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company will also comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company files the information and reports referred to in the preceding paragraph with the SEC and such information is publicly available on the Internet, the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with its obligations to furnish such information to the Trustee.

(b) Any such reports delivered or filed by the Company with the Trustee shall be considered for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute notice or actual knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate.

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 20[•] (which, on the date hereof, is a calendar year), an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to the Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in or otherwise forming a part of this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes of any series is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Except as otherwise permitted by Article 5 hereof, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

ARTICLE 5

SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.

Unless otherwise provided in respect of a series of Notes, the Issuer will not, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets in one or a series of related transactions to, any Person, unless:

(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, limited company, or other similar organization organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, Jersey and any other jurisdiction in the Channel Islands, any member state of the European Union as in effect from time to time, Switzerland, Bermuda, The Cayman Islands or Singapore), and the Successor Company (if not the Issuer) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and the applicable Agent, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes of each series then outstanding (and, if the Successor Company is not a corporation, the Issuer shall cause a corporation to become a co-obligor on such Notes);

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default.

Unless otherwise specified in respect of any series of Notes, each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to each series of Notes:

(a) a default in any payment of interest on the Notes of such series when due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(b) a default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on any Note of such series when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon any mandatory or optional redemption or required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

(c) the failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor to comply with its other agreements contained in this Indenture applicable to the Notes of such series for 90 days after the Issuer or such Guarantor receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 33% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes of all series affected thereby;

(d) the Company:

(i) commences a voluntary case,

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

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

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

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a custodian of the Company, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company; or

25

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company,

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

(f) any other Event of Default established pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof with respect to the Notes of such series.

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default with respect to a series of Notes whatever the reason for any such Event of Default for such series and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

However, a default under clause (c) above will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to a series of Notes until the Trustee notifies the Issuer or the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the default and the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, does not cure such default within the time specified in clause (c) above after receipt of such notice.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company or the Issuer) occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of Notes, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes of all such series to be due and payable immediately (all such series voting together as a single class) by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) 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. If an Event of Default specified in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company or the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding Notes 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.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to one or more series of Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series (voting as a single class) may rescind and cancel such declaration with respect to the Notes of such series and its consequences (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) if all existing Events of Default with respect to such series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) if the Issuer has paid the Trustee and the Agents their compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

26

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Discount Notes shall have been accelerated and declared or become due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Discount Notes shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Discount Notes.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to one or more series of Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes of the relevant series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected (voting as a single class) by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes of such series waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such series and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes of such series (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes of such series may rescind an acceleration with respect to such series and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default in respect of the relevant series of Notes shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default in respect of such series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected (voting as a single class) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holders of Notes of such series or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

27

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

A Holder of a Note of any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of such series only if:

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

(b) the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes of such series offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(e) within such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

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

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs with respect to a series of Notes and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest (or the Yield to Maturity, in the case of an Discount Note) remaining unpaid on the Notes of such series and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest 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.

28

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding 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 any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article with respect to a series of Notes, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, the Agents, their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or Agents and the costs and expenses of collection;

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes of any series and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee shall also be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

(a) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default with respect to Notes of any series unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Issuer or the Holders of 33% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby, and such notice references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes of such series and this Indenture.

(b) If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of the Notes of the applicable series, notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after the occurrence of a Default or 30 days after it is actually known to a Responsible Officer or written notice of it is received by a Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note of any series (including payments pursuant to the redemption provisions of the Notes of such series), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders thereof.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holder.

Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the initial issuance date of Notes under this Indenture, and for so long as any series of Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

33

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes of any series are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when any series of Notes are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to each Agent and to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for each such Agent’s and Trustee’s services hereunder (it being understood that all amounts set forth in the fee letter dated [•], 20[•], between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and Wilmington Trust, National Association shall be deemed reasonable in respect of the compensation to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in its capacity as Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent as initially appointed hereunder). The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and the Agents promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by such party in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and Agents’ respective agents and counsel.

The Issuer and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee against any and all claims, losses, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer and the Guarantors or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend, at the sole discretion of the Trustee, the claim and may cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Agents, as applicable, the satisfaction and discharge and the termination of this Indenture.

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

34

In addition, and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

“Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby (voting as a single class) may remove the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby (voting as a single class) may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

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 then outstanding Notes of such series may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

35

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, 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 with respect to the relevant series of Notes. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Notes of such series. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.

Subject to Section 7.10, any business entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Unless otherwise provided in respect of a series of Notes, the Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes of any series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of any series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes 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: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes of such series to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and Agents hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) the provisions of this Article 8 with respect to Legal Defeasance.

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05 hereof and in any supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate established with respect to the outstanding Notes of a series pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes of such series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes of such series shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series, the Issuer

37

may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes of such series shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof with respect to the Notes of a series, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default for such series.

(b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the applicable Agent an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal 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 Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the applicable Agent an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series 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;

38

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence and the grant of a lien to secure such indebtedness);

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any lien securing such borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the applicable Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

39

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

Section 8.06. Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes of any series when (i) either (a) all the Notes of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes of such series which have been replaced or paid and Notes of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation or (b) all Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year, whether at maturity or on a Redemption Date, pursuant to an irrevocable redemption notice, and the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Registrar and Paying Agent funds or U.S. Government Obligations in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the Registrar and Paying Agent with a copy to the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (ii) the Issuer has paid all other sums due and payable under this Indenture by the Issuer; and (iii) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee or Registrar and Paying Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Section 8.07. Repayment to Issuer.

Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee and the applicable Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes of any series without the consent of any Holder of a Note of such series to:

(a) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(b) provide for the assumption by a successor entity of the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture;

(c) to establish the form or forms or terms of Notes of any series as permitted by Section 2.03 hereof;

(d) provide for Global Notes in addition to or in place of Certificated Notes (provided, however, that the Global Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the Global Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

(e) add additional Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Guarantee when such release, termination or discharge is permitted under this Indenture;

(f) add to the covenants of the Company or the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of Notes of such series or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or the Issuer;

41

(g) make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer and legending of Notes of such series; provided, however, that (A) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in such Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (B) such amendment does not materially affect the rights of Holders to transfer such Notes;

(h) comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(i) conform any provision of this Indenture or the Notes of such series to the provisions of the offering document relating to such series of Notes;

(j) modify any provisions of this Indenture, which modifications apply solely to series of Notes not outstanding on the date of such supplemental indenture; or

(k) make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes of such series in any material respect.

Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee and the Agents shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but neither the Trustee nor the Agents shall be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

A supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate which changes or eliminates any covenant or any provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Notes, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Notes of such series with respect to such covenant or provision, or which modifies terms with respect only to future series of Notes, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Notes of any other series and may be executed without the consent of such Holders of other series of Notes.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture, the Notes Guarantees and the Notes of any series may be amended or supplemented as it relates to such series with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of each series affected thereby (all such series voting as a single class) and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of such series, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes of such series may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of each series affected thereby (all such series voting as a single class).

42

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of Notes of all series 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 amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes of such series held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a) reduce the amount of Notes of such series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note of such series beyond the maximum time period for any permitted deferral of interest or to increase the maximum time period for any such interest deferral or increase the maximum number of times the Issuer may defer such interest payment;

(c) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note of such series;

(d) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note of such series or change the scheduled date at which any Note of such series may be redeemed;

(e) make any Notes of such series payable in money other than that stated in such Notes;

(f) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due dates therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or

(g) make any change in the amendment provisions which require each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions.

43

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or with respect to any series of Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by such Holder and every subsequent Holder or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter shall bind every Holder for all series of Notes to which such amendment, supplement or waiver relates.

Section 9.05. Trustee and Agents to Sign Amendments.

The Trustee and Agents shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and Agents, as applicable. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and Agents shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors, if any, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Note Guarantees.

Each Guarantor that executes this Indenture or a supplemental indenture agreeing to be bound hereby, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees on a subordinated unsecured basis, jointly and severally, to each Holder of the Notes of each series (or such series as specified in the applicable supplement) and to the Trustee, the Agents and their respective successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes of each such series when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes of each such series and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes of each such series (all such obligations set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

44

Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes of any series or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or Agents to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes of any series or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any obligation of the Issuer under the Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes of any series or any other agreement; or (d) except as set forth in Section 10.05, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder, the Trustee or Agents to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder, the Trustee or Agents upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Agents, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Agents or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes of a series, each Holder of Notes of each such series, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor (a) 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 foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee, and (b) not result in a distribution to shareholders not permitted under the applicable foreign or state law. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such

45

Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. If following the date of this Indenture and notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 to the contrary, any Guarantor incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America (a “Future Foreign Guarantor”) executes a Note Guarantee and the Issuer shall reasonably determine that the preceding limitations shall not adequately address the limitations on such Note Guarantee imposed by applicable law of the jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as the case may be, of any such Future Foreign Guarantor then upon the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer shall be entitled to amend such clauses or add such additional provisions (including any related modifications to a supplement to this Indenture or a Note Guarantee), as the case may be, in order for the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor to adequately address the limitations imposed by applicable law.

Section 10.03. Successors and Assigns.

This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor that executes this Indenture or a supplemental indenture agreeing to be bound hereby and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee, the Agents and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder, the Trustee or the Agents, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes of the relevant series shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 10.04. No Waiver.

Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee, the Agents or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee, the Agents and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 10.05. Release of Subsidiary Guarantor.

Unless otherwise specified in respect of any series of Notes, the Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released with respect to a series of Notes under this Article 10 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee, the Agents or any Holder:

(a) upon (i) the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger, dissolution or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

(b) if so provided in an Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a series of Notes issued hereunder; or

(c) if the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option with respect to such series of Notes in accordance with Article 8 hereof or if the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such series of Notes are discharged in accordance with the terms of Section 8.06.

46

Section 10.06. Contribution.

Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations to contribution from each Guarantor, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the affected series (voting as a single class) by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes of such series waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the Indenture with respect to such series of Notes except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes of such series held by a non-consenting Holder.
