If the Company makes the election described in the second proviso of the preceding paragraph in connection with the issuance of Additional Notes, it shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee two Business Days before depositing Segregated Funds with the Trustee (unless a shorter time period is agreed to by the Trustee), stating that (1) the Company elects to deposit with the Trustee all or any portion of the proceeds from an issuance of Additional Notes (together with other funds available to the Company, if applicable) as Segregated Funds pursuant to customary arrangements (determined in good faith by the Company) pursuant to this Section 2.02, (2) the Trustee is directed to hold such funds as Segregated Funds under Section 2.02, (3) such election is authorized by the Indenture and (4) all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Co-Issuers and Affiliates of the Co-Issuers. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Indenture if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability.

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

In case a Co-Issuer, pursuant to and in accordance with Article Five, shall, in one or more related transactions, be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all the assets of such Co-Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person, and the surviving Person resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or into which such Co-Issuer shall have been merged, or the surviving Person which shall have participated in the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have assumed all of the obligations of such Co-Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to agreements

reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with Article Five (such Person, the “ Surviving Entity ”), any of the Global Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the Surviving Entity, be exchanged for other Global Notes executed in the name of the Surviving Entity with only such changes in phraseology as may be appropriate to reflect the identity of the Surviving Entity, but otherwise in substance of like tenor, terms and conditions in all respects as the Global Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon the request of the Surviving Entity, shall authenticate and deliver Global Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Global Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a Surviving Entity pursuant to this Section 2.02 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such Surviving Entity, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

The Co-Issuers shall maintain or cause to be maintained an office or agency in the United States where (a) Notes may be presented for payment or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (“ Registrar ”), (b) Notes may, subject to Section 2 of the Notes, be presented or surrendered for payment (“ Paying Agent ”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Co-Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Co-Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided , however , that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve either Co-Issuer of its obligation to maintain or cause to be maintained an office or agency in the United States, for such purposes. At the option of the Co-Issuers, the payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that for Holders owning at least $100,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes that have given wire transfer instructions to the Co-Issuers at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Co-Issuers shall make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. The Company or any Subsidiary of the Company may act as Registrar or Paying Agent, except that for the purposes of Article Eight, neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall act as Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Co-Issuers, upon notice to the Trustee, may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Co-Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has been appointed.

To the extent necessary, the Co-Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Co-Issuers shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Co-Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

The Co-Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee or the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Co-Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes), and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Co-Issuers (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Co-Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Co-Issuers to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for such assets. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act §312(a) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.

Subject to Sections 2.15 and 2.16, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided , however , that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Co-Issuers and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Co-Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Co-Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Co-Issuers shall not be required and, without the prior written consent of the Co-Issuers, the Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of

redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, (iii) that has been tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in a Change of Control Offer, and (iv) beginning at the opening of business on any Record Date and ending on the close of business on the related Interest Payment Date.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) in accordance with the applicable legends thereon, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system.

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Co-Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. Such Holder must provide evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking, and an indemnity bond, surety or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Co-Issuers and the Trustee, to protect the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Co-Issuers and the Trustee may charge such Holder for their respective reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note pursuant to this Section 2.07, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Co-Issuers and every replacement Notation of Guarantee shall constitute an additional obligation of the Guarantor thereof.

Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because a Co-Issuer, a Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates holds the Note (subject to the provisions of Section 2.09).

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Co-Issuers and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receive written proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue thereon. If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender or non-callable U.S. Government Securities sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue thereon.

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

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Co-Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an authentication order, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Co-Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Co-Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes in equal principal amounts. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Notes are represented by a Global Note, such Global Note may be in typewritten form.

A Co-Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary), and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Co-Issuers, shall dispose of all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. Subject to Section 2.07, the Co-Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (which shall not prohibit the Co-Issuers from issuing any Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture). If a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.

If the Co-Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Co-Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Co-Issuers for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before any such subsequent special record date, the Co-Issuers or, at the Co-Issuers’ request, the Trustee, shall deliver electronically or mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

The Co-Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided , however , that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Co-Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers.

Subject to Section 2 of the Notes, prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset Sale Payment Date, the Co-Issuers shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset Sale Payment Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset Sale Payment Date, as the case may be.

(a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit B , as applicable.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“ Participants ”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Co-Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Co-Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors and their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.16. In addition, Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if (i) (a) the Depository notifies the Co-Issuers that it is unwilling or

unable to act as Depository for any Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and the Co-Issuers so notify the Trustee in writing and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Co-Issuers within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to issue Physical Notes. Upon any issuance of a Physical Note in accordance with this Section 2.15(b), the Trustee shall register such Physical Note in the name of, and shall cause the same to be delivered to, such person or persons (or the nominee of any thereof). All such Physical Notes shall bear the applicable legends, if any.

(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.15(b), the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Co-Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note so transferred.

(d) In connection with the transfer of a Global Note as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.15(b), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and (i) the Co-Issuers shall execute, (ii) the Guarantors shall execute notations of Note Guarantees on and (iii) the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Co-Issuers authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.

(e) Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15 shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.16, bear the Private Placement Legend.

(f) The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(a) Transfers to QIBs . The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Restricted Security to a QIB:

(i) the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Restricted Security, whether or not such Note bears the Private Placement Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after the first anniversary of the Issue Date; provided , however , that neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company has held any beneficial interest in such Note, or portion thereof, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date or (y) such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the applicable Global Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Co-Issuers and the

Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the applicable Global Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Co-Issuers and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Co-Issuers as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A;

(ii) if the proposed transferee is a Participant and the Notes to be transferred consist of Physical Notes which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the 144A Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of the Physical Note and written instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall register the transfer and reflect on its book and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of Physical Notes to be transferred, and the Registrar shall cancel the Physical Notes so transferred; and

Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (ii) such Note has been offered and sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

(f) General .

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.16. The Co-Issuers shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

The Co-Issuers and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository, Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have responsibility for the actions or omissions of the Depository, or the accuracy of the books and records of the Depository.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Physical Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 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 shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Physical 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 Trustee or by the Depository at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall 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 Trustee or by the Depository at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer and subject to this Section 2.17, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any co-registrar and any Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name any Note shall be registered upon the register of Notes kept by the Registrar as the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of the ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Co-Issuers, any co-registrar or any Registrar) for the purpose of receiving all payments with respect to such Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any co-registrar or any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Co-Issuers shall be jointly and severally liable for the performance of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes.

If the Co-Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 5, Section 6 or Section 7 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. The Co-Issuers shall give notice of redemption to the Trustee at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (except that a notice issued in connection with a redemption referred to in Article Eight may be more than 60 days before such Redemption Date), together with such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption as follows:

(x) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or

(y) if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate;

provided that, in the case of a partial redemption pursuant to Section 6 of the Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof for redemption on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of the Depository), unless that method is otherwise prohibited.

No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount at maturity thereof to be redeemed or purchased.

(a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date (except that a notice issued in connection with a redemption referred to in Article Eight may be more than 60 days before such Redemption Date), the Co-Issuers shall deliver electronically or mail or cause to be delivered electronically or mailed a notice of redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Each notice for redemption shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) to be redeemed and shall state:

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

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

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

(6) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount at maturity of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, a new Note or Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof

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

(8) the Section of the Notes or this Indenture, as applicable, pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed.

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

(b) At the Co-Issuers’ request (which may be given prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to Holders), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption to each Holder in the Co-Issuers’ names and at their expense; provided , however , that the Co-Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter time period is agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(a). The notice, if delivered electronically or mailed in the manner provided herein, shall be presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any; provided that in connection with any redemption of Notes (including a redemption with funds in an amount not exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, any such redemption may, in the Co-Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of such Equity Offering. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Co-Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Notes called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price (which shall include accrued interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date), but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be

payable to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates. On and after the Redemption Date interest, shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption unless the Co-Issuers shall have not complied with their respective obligations pursuant to Section 3.05. 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.

On or before 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Co-Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Co-Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Co-Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price (including accrued and unpaid interest, if any) for all Notes to be redeemed. In addition, so long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all money, if any, earned on funds held by the Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Co-Issuers to the extent not applied to payments on the Notes.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note or Notes shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon surrender and cancellation of the original Note or Notes; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Notes shall be optionally redeemable as set forth in Section 5, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8 of the Notes. Any such redemption shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Article Three. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article Three, any issuance of Additional Notes may provide for the redemption or repurchase of all or any portion of such Additional Notes without any requirement that the Company redeem or repurchase (or offer to redeem or repurchase) any other then-outstanding Notes. The Company shall be permitted to apply Segregated Funds (or any portion thereof) to such redemption or repurchase. To the extent that any portion of Segregated Funds did not constitute proceeds from an issuance of Additional Notes, the Company shall be entitled to a release of such other funds in accordance at any time and from time to time, except to the extent limited pursuant to the arrangements governing the issuance of such Additional Notes.

The Co-Issuers shall pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture. An installment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent, other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, (or if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying Agent, the segregated account or separate trust fund maintained by the Company or such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 2.04) holds on that date as of 12:00 p.m. New York City time U.S. Legal Tender designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The Co-Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal (including, without limitation, post-petition interest in a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), and overdue interest to the extent lawful, at the same rate per annum borne by the Notes.

The Co-Issuers shall maintain the office required under Section 2.03 (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar). The Co-Issuers 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 Co-Issuers 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 address of the Trustee set forth in Section 11.02.

The Co-Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented for payment or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Co-Issuers 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 Co-Issuers hereby designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Co-Issuers in accordance with Section 2.03 of this Indenture.

Except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.13 and Article Five, each Co-Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the respective organizational documents of each such Restricted Subsidiary and the material rights (charter and statutory) and material franchises of each Co-Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided , however , that the Co-Issuers shall not be required to preserve any such right, franchise or corporate existence with respect to itself or any Restricted Subsidiary, if the loss thereof would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of them or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided , however , that the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount the applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate actions and for which appropriate provision has been made, or any such tax, assessment, charge or claim that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors taken as a whole.

Logistics Finance (or any other Subsidiary of the Company that may in the future act as a co-issuer of the Notes) shall not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or conduct any business activity, other than the issuance of the Equity Interest to the Company or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-issuer, co-obligor or guarantor of Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, including the Notes, that is permitted to be incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof and activities incidental thereto.

For so long as the Company or any successor obligor under the Notes is a Person that is not incorporated in the United States of America, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia there will be a co-issuer of the Notes that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and that is a corporation organized and incorporated in the United States of America, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia.

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 165 days after the close of each fiscal year of the Company beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, an Officer’s Certificate signed by its chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief accounting officer, stating that a review of the activities of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors has been made under the supervision of the signing officer with a view to determining whether the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture and further stating that to the best of such officer’s actual knowledge, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors during such preceding fiscal year have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their respective obligations under this Indenture in all material respects and as of the date of such certificate, there is no Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing or, if such signing officer does know of such Default or Event of Default, the certificate shall specify such Default or Event of Default and what action, if any, the Co-Issuers are taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Officer’s Certificate shall also notify the Trustee should the Company elect to change the manner in which it fixes its fiscal year end.

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee as promptly as practicable and in any event within 30 days after the Company (or any of its Officers) becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default an Officer’s Certificate specifying the Default or Event of Default and what action, if any, the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Each Co-Issuer and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) each hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

If a Change of Control occurs, the Co-Issuers shall be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the Notes as described below (the “ Change of Control Offer ”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Co-Issuers shall offer a payment in cash (“ Change of Control Payment ”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control or at the Co-Issuers’ option, prior to such Change of Control but after it is publicly announced, the Co-Issuers shall deliver electronically or mail or cause to be delivered electronically or mailed a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice (the “ Change of Control Payment Date ”), which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is electronically delivered or mailed, other than as may be required by law, pursuant to the procedures described below. If the notice is sent prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, it may be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change of Control, and thereafter be extended from time to time until the occurrence of the Change of Control. Such notice, whether sent before or after the consummation of the Change of Control, shall state:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.09 and to the extent lawful that all Notes tendered and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the Change of Control Payment Date;

(3) that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof;

(4) that, unless the Co-Issuers default in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than two Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder delivered for purchase, certificate numbers, if applicable, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased; and

(7) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof).

On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Co-Issuers shall, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes in minimum amounts equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Co-Issuers.

The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or pay by wire transfer to each Holder whose Notes have been properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate pursuant to an Authentication Order and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. So long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and to the extent not applied to make payments on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall return to the Co-Issuers any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Redemption Price. However, if the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest

record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

The Co-Issuers shall inform the Holders of the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. The Co-Issuers shall be required to make a Change of Control Offer regardless of whether the provisions of Section 5.01 also apply in connection with the applicable Change of Control.

The Co-Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Co-Issuers and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has been given in respect of all of the Notes then outstanding pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of the Notes, unless and until there is a Default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price.

The Co-Issuers shall comply with the requirements of any securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09, the Co-Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of such compliance.

thereof and (y) payments, purchases, redemptions, defeasances or other acquisitions or retirements for value in anticipation of satisfying a scheduled maturity, sinking fund or amortization or other installment obligation or mandatory redemption, in each case, due within one year of the Stated Maturity thereof; or

(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Buildup Amount Start Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (14) and (15) of Section 4.11(b)), is not greater than the sum, without duplication, of:

(A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from January 1, 2011 to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus

(B) (i) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and (ii) 100% of the Fair Market Value of the property and assets other than cash, in each case, received by the Company after the Buildup Amount Start Date as a contribution to its equity capital or from the issue or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of Qualified Equity Interests, including upon the exercise of options or warrants, or from the issue or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of Disqualified Stock or Indebtedness of the Company that has been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Equity Interests, together with the aggregate cash and Cash Equivalents received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of such conversion or exchange; provided, however , that this clause (B) shall not include (y) the proceeds from any such contribution or issuance or sale to the extent used to incur Contribution Indebtedness or (z) Excluded Contributions; plus

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless contemporaneously therewith:

(2) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation, in each case, for so long as such obligation is secured by such Lien (such Lien, the “ Primary Lien ”).

(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to Section 4.12(a) shall automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Primary Lien, without any further action on the part of any Person.

(1) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (for the avoidance of doubt, the Fair Market Value may be determined at the time a contract is entered into for an Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

(5) repay unsecured senior Indebtedness of the Co-Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that if the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor shall so reduce senior Indebtedness other than Indebtedness under the Notes, the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes (A) through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof), (B) by redeeming the Notes if the Notes are then redeemable as provided under Section 3.07 or (C) by making an Asset Sale Offer in accordance with the provisions described herein; and/or

(6) any combination of the transactions permitted by the foregoing clauses (1) through (5).

(d) A (A) binding contract to apply Net Proceeds in accordance with clauses (2) through (4) above shall toll the 365-day period in respect of such Net Proceeds or (B) determination by the Company to potentially apply all or a portion of such Net Proceeds towards the exercise of an outstanding Purchase Option Contract shall toll the 365-day period in respect of such Net Proceeds, in each case, for a period not to exceed 365 days (or, in the case of a binding contract to acquire assets used or useful in a Permitted Business other than one or more Vessels, until the end of the construction or delivery period specified in such binding contract, as the same may be extended) from the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period, provided that such binding contract and such determination, in each case, shall be treated as a permitted application of Net Proceeds from the date of such binding contract until and only until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is consummated and (y) (i) in the case of any Construction Contract or any Exercised Purchase Option Contract (including any outstanding Purchase Option Contract exercised during the 365-day period referenced in clause (B) above), the date of expiration or termination of such Construction Contract or Exercised Purchase Option Contract and (ii) otherwise, the 365th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period (except in the case of a binding contract to acquire assets used or useful in a Permitted Business other than one or more Vessels, which shall not end until the end of the construction or delivery period specified in such binding contract, as the same may be extended) (clause (i) or clause (ii) as applicable, the “ Reinvestment Termination Date ”). If such acquisition or expenditure is not consummated on or before the Reinvestment Termination Date and the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall not have applied such Net Proceeds pursuant to clauses (1) through (6) above on or before the Reinvestment Termination Date, such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce outstanding Indebtedness or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(e) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.13(c) shall constitute “ Excess Proceeds .” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Co-Issuers shall make an offer (an “ Asset Sale Offer ”) to all Holders and all holders of other pari passu Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be required to be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (the “ Payment Amount ”). The offer price for the Notes in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “ Offered Price ”), and shall be payable in cash, and the offer or redemption price for such pari passu Indebtedness shall be as set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, such Excess Proceeds may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Co-Issuers or the agent for such other pari passu Indebtedness shall select such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with adjustments so that no Notes or other pari passu Indebtedness are purchased, redeemed or repaid in unauthorized denominations). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Co-Issuers may elect to satisfy their obligations to make an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the relevant period or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $20.0 million or less.

(f) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Co-Issuers shall deliver electronically or send, or cause to be delivered electronically or sent, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. Any Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13 and that, to the extent lawful, all Notes tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment (unless prorated);

(2) the Payment Amount, the Offered Price, and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered electronically (the “ Asset Sale Payment Date ”);

(3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depository, if appointed by the Company, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Co-Issuers, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than two Business Days prior to the Asset Sale Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(7) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Payment Amount, the Co-Issuers shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Co-Issuers so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

(8) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry).

(g) On the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Co-Issuers shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, subject to pro ration if the aggregate Notes tendered exceed the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender equal to the lesser of the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes and the amount sufficient to pay the Offered Price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers shall inform the Holders of the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Payment Date.

(h) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or pay by wire transfer to each Holder whose Notes have been properly tendered the Offered Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate pursuant to an Authentication Order and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. So long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and to the extent not applied to make payments on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall return to the Co-Issuers any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Offered Price.

However, if the Asset Sale Payment Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

(i) The Co-Issuers shall comply with the requirements of any securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.13, the Co-Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such compliance.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “ Affiliate Transaction ”) involving annual payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person, with such determination to be made at the time such Affiliate Transaction is entered into or agreed to; and

(a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, a Board Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.14 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and

(b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million as to which there are no disinterested members of the Board of Directors, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an independent accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of international standing qualified to perform the task for which such firm has been engaged (as determined by the Company in good faith).

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to Section 4.14(a):

(1) director, officer, employee and consultant compensation, benefit, reimbursement and indemnification agreements, plans and arrangements (and payment awards in connection therewith) entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because either (x) the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person or (y) a director of such Person is also a director of the Company; provided such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company on any matter involving such other person;

(4) (x) any issuance of Qualified Equity Interests of the Company (other than Designated Preferred Stock) to an Affiliate and the granting or performance of registration rights in respect of any Qualified Equity Interests of the Company (other than Designated Preferred Stock), which rights have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or (y) any contribution to the Qualified Equity Interest capital of the Company by an Affiliate (other than in respect of Designated Preferred Stock);

(5) Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.11 and Investments consisting of Permitted Investments;

(8) transactions in which the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view or that such Affiliate Transaction meets the requirements of Section 4.14(a)(1), in each case, issued by an independent accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of international standing qualified to perform the task for which such firm has been engaged (as determined in good faith by the Company);

(9) payments, loans or advances to employees or consultants or guarantees in respect thereof (or cancellation of loans, advances or guarantees) for bona fide business purposes; and

(3) applicable law, rule, regulation or order or governmental or other license, permit or concession;

(4) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Equity Interests were incurred or issued in connection with such acquisition to provide funds to consummate such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

(2) deliver to the Trustee one or more Opinions of Counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and legally binding and enforceable obligation of such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, subject to customary exceptions.

Thereafter, such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture.

(b) In addition, (i) to the extent that the collective net book value of the total assets of the Company’s non-Guarantor Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries, as of the date of the acquisition, creation, transfer of assets to, investment in or redesignation of a non-Guarantor Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, exceeds $30.0 million, then, within 45 Business Days of such date, the Company shall cause one or more of such non-Guarantor Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries to similarly execute a supplemental indenture (and deliver the related opinions of counsel), described in Section 4.16(a), pursuant to which such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, in each case, such that the collective net book value of the total assets of all remaining non-Guarantor Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries does not exceed $30.0 million and (ii) the Company may, at its option, cause any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to guarantee its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture and enter into a supplemental indenture with respect thereto.

(c) The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall automatically and unconditionally (without any further action on the part of any Person) be released:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation or amalgamation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.13 or Section 4.14;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of a majority of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, if (x) such Guarantor would no longer constitute a “Subsidiary” under this Indenture and (y) the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.13;

(3) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.18;

(5) in the case of a Guarantor that is not a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that has voluntarily issued a Guarantee of the Notes, upon notice to the Trustee by the Company of the designation of such Guarantor as non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary if (x) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment in such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such release equal to the Fair Market Value of the Investment of the Company and its other Restricted Subsidiaries in such Guarantor as either a Permitted Investment or pursuant to Section 4.11 and (y) all transactions entered into by such Restricted Subsidiary while a Guarantor would be permitted under this Indenture at the time its Guarantee is released; and

(6) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as provided below under Section 8.01, Section 8.03 and Section 8.04.

(a) Whether or not the Company is then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Holders, so long as the Notes are outstanding:

(1) within 75 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal year, quarterly reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form) containing unaudited financial statements (including a balance sheet and statement of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flow) and a management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (or equivalent disclosure) for and as of the end of such fiscal quarter (with comparable financial statements for the corresponding fiscal quarter of the immediately preceding fiscal year);

(2) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an annual report on Form 20-F (or any successor form) containing the information required to be contained therein for such fiscal year; and

(3) at or prior to such times as would be required to be filed or furnished to the SEC if the Company was then a “foreign private issuer” subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, all such other reports and information that the Company would have been required pursuant thereto;

provided , however , that to the extent that the Company ceases to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the Exchange Act, whether or not the Company is then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Holders, so long as any Notes are outstanding, within 60 days of the respective dates on which the Company would be required to file such documents with the SEC if it was required to file such documents under the Exchange Act, all reports and other information that would be required to be filed with (or furnished to) the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, provided , further , that such reports will not be required to contain any officer’s certificates or the separate financial information for Guarantors that would be required under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, provided , however , that in lieu thereof the Company will provide the summary information concerning revenues, EBITDA, assets and liabilities of non-guarantors in a manner consistent in all material respects with that set forth under “Summary—The Offering” in the Offering Memorandum for the period(s) covered by each such report.

(b) In addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company shall electronically file or furnish, as the case may be, a copy of all such information and reports referred to in clauses (1) through (3) of Section 4.17(a) that it would be required to file as a foreign private issuer with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified therein (unless the SEC shall not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Company agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.17, the Company shall be deemed to have furnished, in compliance with this Section 4.17, such reports referred to in Section 4.17(a) hereof to the Trustee and the Holders if the Company has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of Section 6.01(3) until 120 days after the date any report hereunder is due, and any failure to comply with this Section 4.17 shall automatically be cured when the Company provides all required reports to the Holders.

The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Subsidiary (other than Logistics Finance or any other Subsidiary that is at such time a co-issuer of the Notes) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default or cause a Default to be continuing after such designation. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.11 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default or cause a Default to be continuing after such redesignation.

(a) If on any date after the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “ Covenant Suspension Event ”), then, beginning on that day, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.13, Section 4.14, Section 4.15, Section 4.16 and Section 5.01(a)(3) (collectively, the “ Suspended Covenants ”) shall no longer be applicable to the Notes.

(b) In the event that the Co-Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “ Reversion Date ”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Co-Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events.

(c) The period of time between the Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “ Suspension Period .” Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Co-Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement that would otherwise be a breach of any Suspended Covenant will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (i) with respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 4.11 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period, and (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (2) of Section 4.10(b). No Subsidiaries shall be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during any Suspension Period. During the Suspension Period, any future obligations to grant further Guarantees of the Notes shall be suspended but such further obligation to grant Guarantees of the Notes shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date.

(d) The Company will promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate identifying any Covenant Suspension Event including the date thereof and an Officer’s Certificate identifying any Reversion Date. The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor whether there is a Covenant Suspension Event or a Reversion Date and shall not have any duty to notify the noteholders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

(a) All payments made by the Co-Issuers under or with respect to the Notes or by a Guarantor under or with respect to its Note Guarantee shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Authority in any jurisdiction in which a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made (each a “ Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction ”), unless such Co-Issuer or Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

(b) If a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such additional amounts (“ Additional Amounts ”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount the Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided , however , that no Additional Amounts shall payable with respect to any Tax:

(1) that would not have been imposed, payable or due but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder (or the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, such Notes) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including being a citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) other than the mere holding of the Notes or enforcement of rights under such Note or under a Guarantee or the receipt of payments in respect of such Note or a Guarantee;

(2) that would not have been imposed, payable or due but for the failure to satisfy any certification, identification or other reporting requirements whether imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice; provided , however , that the Co-Issuers have delivered a request to the Holder to comply with such requirements at least 30 days prior to the date by which such compliance is required;

(3) that would not have been imposed, payable or due if the presentation of Notes (where presentation is required) for payment has occurred within 30 days after the date such payment was due and payable or was duly provided for, whichever is later;

(4) subject to Section 4.20(e), that is an estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer or personal property tax, assessment or charge; or

In addition, Additional Amounts shall not be payable if, had the beneficial owner of, or Person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, such Notes been the Holder of the Notes, such beneficial owner would not have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts by reason of clause (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) above. In addition, Additional Amounts shall not be payable with respect to any Tax which is payable otherwise than by withholding from any payment under or in respect of the Notes or any Guarantee.

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

(d) The Co-Issuers shall provide the Trustee with documentation evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts and any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.20(e).

(e) The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall pay for any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any similar taxes, charges or levies which arise in any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of the Notes, this Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to or enforcement of, the Notes or any Guarantee. The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Holders for any stamp taxes required to be paid in Argentina which arise from the execution, delivery or registration of this Indenture, the Notes and any other documents or instruments referred to herein or therein or the receipt of any payments with respect to or enforcement of, the Notes or any Guarantee.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors may, to the extent required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from any payments under this Indenture; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the obligation of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors to pay Additional Amounts as set forth in this Section 4.20.

(a) The Company may not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving Person); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(1) either: (a) the Company is the surviving Person; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made (x) is a corporation, limited liability company, trust or limited partnership organized or existing under the laws of an Eligible Jurisdiction and (y) assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(3) either (a) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made, shall, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and to any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.10(a) or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company or such surviving Person determined in accordance with Section 4.10(a) shall be greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction.

In addition, the Company may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the chartering out of Vessels in the ordinary course of business.

For purposes of this Section 5.01, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, the Equity Interests of which constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

(b) The Company shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) unless:

(1) subject to the Note Guarantee release provisions of Section 4.16, such Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company or a Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor and this Indenture; and

(c) This Section 5.01 shall not apply to a merger of the Company, a Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of such Person with an Affiliate solely for the purpose, and with the effect, of reorganizing the Company, a Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in an Eligible Jurisdiction. In addition, nothing in this Section 5.01 shall prohibit any Restricted Subsidiary from consolidating or amalgamating with, merging with or into or conveying, transferring or leasing, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary or reconstituting itself in another jurisdiction for the purpose of reflagging a Vessel.

(1) default by a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor for 30 consecutive days in the payment when due and payable of interest on the Notes;

(2) default by a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor in the payment when due and payable of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes;

(3) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with any covenants in this Indenture for 60 consecutive days after notice has been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding specifying the default and demanding compliance with any of the other covenants in this Indenture;

(4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

(a) is caused by a failure to pay the principal amount of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity after giving effect to any applicable grace periods (a “ Payment Default ”); or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated final maturity;

and, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

(5) failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $25.0 million in excess of amounts that are covered by insurance or which have been bonded, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable;

(6) except as permitted by this Indenture including upon the permitted release of the Note Guarantee, any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm in writing its obligations under its Guarantee and such Default continues for 21 days after written notice of such Default has been given to the Trustee;

(7) either a Co-Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(b) consents to the entry of an order for relief or decree against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

(e) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or

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

(a) is for relief against a Co-Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case or proceeding;

(b) appoints a Custodian of a Co-Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the assets of a Co-Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or adjudges any such entity or group a bankrupt or insolvent or approves as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of such entity or group; or

(c) orders the winding up or liquidation of a Co-Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01, with respect to a Co-Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, by written notice to the Co-Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Any such notice from the Trustee or Holders shall specify the applicable Event(s) of Default and state that such notice is a “ Notice of Acceleration .” Upon such declaration of acceleration pursuant to a Notice of Acceleration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and its consequences (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived or rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

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

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

Subject to Sections 2.09, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer of Notes) by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium on, any Note as specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2). In case of any such recission or waiver, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act does not apply to this Indenture. Upon any such recission or waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such recission or waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction.

No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or for any remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless:

(1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense in complying with such request;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

However, such limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, with respect to, such Note on or after the due date therefore.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

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

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

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Co-Issuers, their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to 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 proceedings 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable.

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six or any other section of this Indenture, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

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

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

Fourth : without duplication, to the Holders, for any other obligations due to them hereunder or under the Notes, pro rata based on the amounts of such obligations; and

Fifth : to the Co-Issuers or, if applicable, the Guarantors, as their respective interests may appear.

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

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

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

(1) the Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth herein or in the Trust Indenture Act as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture, and no duties, covenants, responsibilities or obligations shall be implied in this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates (including Officer’s Certificates) or opinions (including Opinions of Counsel) furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

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

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or take any action at the request or direction of Holders if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it.

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

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Co-Issuers. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(g) In the absence of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the application of any money by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any Board Resolution, certificate (including any Officer’s Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 11.05 ( provided that no Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial issuance of Notes on the Issue Date). The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent (other than an agent who is an employee of the Trustee) appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers under this Indenture; provided , however , that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture whether on its own motion or at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

(g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any Board Resolution, certificate (including any Officer’s Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice to the Co-Issuers, to examine the books, records, and premises of the Co-Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Co-Issuers.

(h) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(i) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as duties.

(j) Except with respect to Sections 4.01 and 4.06 hereof, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Co-Issuers with respect to the covenants contained in Article Four. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or Event of Default except (i) any Default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 4.01, 6.01(1) or 6.01(2) or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification.

(k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(l) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(m) The Trustee may request that the Co-Issuers deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit F setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Co-Issuers, their Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates 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 or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Co-Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Co-Issuers in this Indenture, the Guarantees or any document issued in connection with the sale of Notes or any statement in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee makes no representations with respect to the effectiveness or adequacy of this Indenture.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Trustee receives actual notice of such Default or Event of Default, the Trustee shall deliver electronically or mail to each Holder notice of the uncured Default or Event of Default within 90 days after such Default or Event of Default occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, or interest, or premium on, any Note, including an accelerated payment and the failure to make a payment on the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or the Asset Sale Payment Date pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Within 60 days after each July 1, beginning with July 1, 2015, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture if and to the extent required thereby. The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act §§ 313(b) and 313(c) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture.

A copy of each report at the time of its electronic delivery or mailing to Holders shall be electronically delivered or mailed by the Trustee to the Co-Issuers.

The Co-Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Co-Issuers and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services rendered by it hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Co-Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

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

To secure the Co-Issuers’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the appointment of a successor Trustee. The obligations of the Co-Issuers shall be joint and several obligations of each of Navios South American Logistics Inc. and Navios Logistics Finance (US) Inc.

The Trustee may resign at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to the Co-Issuers in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee upon 30 days written notice to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee (which Trustee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers). The Co-Issuers may remove the Trustee if:

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

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

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Co-Issuers shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Co-Issuers.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Co-Issuers. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee hereunder to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall deliver electronically or mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

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

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

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Co-Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. The current Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any action or inaction of a successor Trustee.

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

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2), 310(a)(3) and 310(a)(5) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 310(b) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture; provided , however , that there shall be excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Co-Issuers are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of Trust Indenture Act § 310 shall apply to the Co-Issuers and any other obligor of the Notes as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture.

The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture to the extent indicated. The Trustee hereby waives any right to set-off any claim that it may have against the Co-Issuers in any capacity (other than as Trustee and Paying Agent) against any of the assets of the Co-Issuers held by the Trustee.

The Co-Issuers may terminate their Obligations under the Notes and this Indenture and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees and this Indenture and this Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder and then outstanding, except those Obligations referred to in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 8.01, when:

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Co-Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Co-Issuers or discharged from the trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year or have been called for redemption pursuant to Section 5, Section 6 or Section 7 of the Notes and the Co-Issuers have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash or Cash Equivalents in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as shall be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal and premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit including the incurrence of liens in connection with such borrowings) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture;

(3) the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture; and

(4) the Co-Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Co-Issuers must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

In the case of clause (1)(b) of this Section 8.01, and subject to the next sentence and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Co-Issuers’ obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.12, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 (as to legal existence of the Co-Issuers only), 7.07, 8.06 and 8.08 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.08. After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Co-Issuers’ obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.06 and 8.08 shall survive.

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Co-Issuers’ obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

The Co-Issuers may, at the option of their Boards of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.03 or 8.04 applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of any Guarantor upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article Eight.

Upon the Co-Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Co-Issuers and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “ Legal Defeasance ”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.06 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all of their other obligations under such Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.06;

(2) the Co-Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes under Article Two and Section 4.02;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, exemptions from liability, immunities and indemnities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Co-Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Co-Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 8.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 8.04.

Upon the Co-Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, (i) the Co-Issuers and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03 (other than with respect to the legal existence of the Co-Issuers), 4.04, 4.07, 4.09 through 4.18, and Section 5.01 (except for the covenants contained in clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2) thereof) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 are satisfied (hereinafter, “ Covenant Defeasance ”), (ii) the

Co-Issuers and the Guarantors may cause the release of the Note Guarantees and of any Liens securing the Notes or the Guarantees, and (iii) the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors 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, and any release of the Note Guarantees or of Liens securing the Notes or the Note Guarantees, shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Co-Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(7) shall not constitute Events of Default.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.03 or 8.04:

(1) the Co-Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as shall be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Co-Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date;

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.03, the Co-Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Co-Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.04, the Co-Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from, or otherwise arising in connection with, the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which either of the Co-Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries is a party or by which either Co-Issuer or any of their Subsidiaries are bound;

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) above with respect to an election under Section 8.03 need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall become due and payable within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of a notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, then the obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

Subject to Section 8.07, all cash, Cash Equivalents and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying Trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.06, the “ Trustee ”) pursuant to this Article Eight in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Co-Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.05 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article Eight to the contrary, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Co-Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Co-Issuers any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a firm of independent public accountants or any investment bank or appraisal firm, in each case nationally recognized in the United States expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.05(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall promptly be paid to the Co-Issuers on their written request or shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter be permitted to look only to the Co-Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Co-Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with this Article Eight, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Co-Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this Article Eight, as the case may be; provided , however , that (a) if a Co-Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Co-Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent and (b) so long as no payment Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any other order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall return all such money and Government Securities (in each case to the extent remaining in their possession) to the Co-Issuers promptly after receiving a written request therefore at any time, if such reinstatement of the Co-Issuers’ obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect other than such money as has been applied to payment on the Notes.

The Co-Issuers shall be entitled to cure any event resulting in the reinstatement of its obligations hereunder.

The Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend, waive, supplement or otherwise modify this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or any other agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Indenture without notice to or consent of any Holder:

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

(3) to provide for the assumption of a Co-Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders and Guarantees in the case of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such Co-Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable;

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

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(6) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and a Guarantee with respect to the Notes or to release a Guarantee or a security interest under the Notes or a Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture including without limitation to give effect to any arrangements regarding Segregated Funds to be entered into consistent with the terms provided under “Principal, Maturity and Interest” in the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum and in this Indenture;

(8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under this Indenture by a successor Trustee;

(10) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended by the Co-Issuers (as demonstrated by an Officer’s Certificate) to be a substantially verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes;

(11) to add to the covenants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any rights or powers conferred upon the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

Upon the request of the Co-Issuers accompanied by a Board Resolution of each of their respective Boards of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of any documents requested under Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall join with the Co-Issuers and any Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

(a) Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02(b), the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, together, with the written consent of the Holder or Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

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

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than the number of days in advance of the redemption of Notes that notice of redemption must be given) (it being understood that this clause (2) does not apply to Sections 4.09 and 4.13);

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

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

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (it being understood that this clause (7) does not apply to a payment required by Section 4.09 or 4.13);

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

(9) expressly subordinate in right of payment the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any other Indebtedness of a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor; or

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

(d) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with an exchange (in the case of an exchange offer) or a tender (in the case of a tender offer) of such Holder’s Notes shall not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange.

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

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

The Co-Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed,

then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Co-Issuers shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (10) of Section 9.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that the Co-Issuers and the Trustee are able to identify the particular Note which has so consented; provided , further , that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest, and premium on, a Note, on or after the respective due dates therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Co-Issuers may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Co-Issuers shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Co-Issuers’ expense. Alternatively, if the Co-Issuers or the Trustee so determine, the Co-Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate, each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

Upon the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to and in accordance with this Article Nine, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such amended or supplemental Indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Subject to the provisions of this Article Ten, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Co-Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder: (a) (x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, on the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on the Notes and (z) the due and punctual payment and performance of all other obligations of the Co-Issuers, in each case, to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “ Guarantee Obligations ”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Co-Issuers to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an Event of Default under the Note Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors thereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Co-Issuers.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that (to the extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Co-Issuers, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Note Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor (other than payment). To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6.06, each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Co-Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Co-Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and this Note Guarantee. This Note Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to any Co-Issuer or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to such Co-Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by such Co-Issuer or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force

and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Ten, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, foreign, provincial or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree (to the extent required by such laws) that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Article Ten shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Ten, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Note Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Guarantor.

To further evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, a “Notation of Guarantee” ), shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such Notation of Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of one Officer or other person duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of such Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any Notation of Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a Notation of Guarantee.

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

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

Notwithstanding Section 4.16(a), a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture in accordance with Section 4.16(b) or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Indenture.

The Trustee shall execute an appropriate instrument prepared by the Co-Issuers evidencing the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee upon receipt of a request by the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and, if requested by the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 10.04; provided , however , that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officer’s Certificates of the Co-Issuers.

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

Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Co-Issuers that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Co-Issuers’ obligations under the Notes or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under this Note Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Co-Issuers, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Co-Issuers, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders under the Notes, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.05 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

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

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

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

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that it shall, upon request by the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments relating to this Indenture in such form as counsel to the Trustee may reasonably advise.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article Eight be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Notes or this Indenture.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or

reorganization of the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Co-Issuers or any other Guarantor is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall, subject to Section 10.04, not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any Guarantor or any of the Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation:

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

(b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Co-Issuers or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other document or instrument;

(c) any failure of the Co-Issuers or any other Guarantor, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, or to give notice thereof to a Guarantor;

(d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Co-Issuers or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

(e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Co-Issuers or any other Person;

(f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Notes or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes;

(g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor;

(h) any merger or amalgamation of the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor with any Person or Persons;

(i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guarantee Obligations or the obligations of a Guarantor under its Note Guarantee; and

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

Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Co-Issuers, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Guarantee Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Co-Issuers or any other Person or any property of the Co-Issuers or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Note Guarantees or under this Indenture.

The Holders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may

(a) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Co-Issuers or any other Person;

(b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Co-Issuers or from perfecting security or collateral of the Co-Issuers;

(c) release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Co-Issuers or any third party with respect to the obligations or matters contemplated by this Indenture or the Notes;

(e) apply all monies at any time received from the Co-Issuers or from any security upon such part of the Guarantee Obligations as the Holders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and

(f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Co-Issuers and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit.

If any Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with Section 10.06 hereof, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Note Guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Guarantor the obligations.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges communication of the terms of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees consents to and approves of the same.

Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and client basis) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Note Guarantee.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Note Guarantee and under this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Guarantor and/or the Co-Issuers and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law.

Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, the obligations of each Guarantor under Section 10.01 shall survive the payment in full of the Guarantee Obligations and shall be enforceable against such Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without regard to and without giving effect to any defense, right of offset or counterclaim available to or which may be asserted by any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Indenture or the Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

Any provision of this Article Ten which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic intent, spirit and purpose of this Indenture and this Article Ten.

Subject to the provisions herein relating to the release of Note Guarantees, each Note Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the other Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if made by hand delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service, by telecopier or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

Each of the Co-Issuers, each Guarantor and the Trustee by written notice to each other such Person may designate additional or different addresses for notices to such Person. Any notice or communication to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee, shall be deemed to have been given or made as of the date so delivered if personally delivered; when replied to; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; five (5) calendar days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid (except that a notice of change of address shall not be deemed to have been given until actually received by the addressee); and next Business Day if by nationally recognized overnight courier service.

Any notice or communication mailed to a Holder shall be mailed to him by first class mail or other equivalent means at his address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar and shall be sufficiently given to him if so mailed within the time prescribed.

Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance on such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Holders may communicate pursuant to Trust Indenture Act § 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture. The Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Registrar and any other Person shall have the protection of Trust Indenture Act § 312(c) as if the Trust Indenture Act applied to this Indenture.

Upon any request or application by the Co-Issuers to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee (unless otherwise agreed by the Trustee):

(1) an Officer’s Certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent to be performed or effected by the Co-Issuers, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(2) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel (who may rely upon Officer’s Certificates as to matters of fact), all such conditions precedent have been satisfied; provided , however , that such opinion shall not be required in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes hereunder.

Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture, other than the Officer’s Certificate required by Section 4.06, shall include:

(1) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(3) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with or satisfied; and

(4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such Person, such condition or covenant has been satisfied or complied with; provided, however, that with respect to matters of fact, an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate or certificates of public officials.

The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for their functions.

If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day without the accrual of additional interest in the intervening period.

THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. EACH OF THE CO-ISSUERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “ Specified Courts ”), and each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in Section 11.02 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of any of the Co-Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

No past, future or present director, Officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, agent or shareholder of a Co-Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Co-Issuers or any Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

All agreements of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors in this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successor.

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

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

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(a) The Co-Issuers and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably consent and agree to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in any such action, suit or proceeding brought against them with respect to their obligations, liabilities or any other

matter arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, by serving a copy thereof upon any employee of any of the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor (in such capacity, the “ Company Process Agent ”) at any business location that the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor may maintain from time to time in the United States including, without limitation, at the offices of Navios Corporation located at 825 Third Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10022 and each Co-Issuer and Guarantor hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers the Company Process Agent as their designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on their behalf service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action, suit or proceeding brought against them in any United States or state court located in the County of New York with respect to their obligations, liabilities or any other matter arising out of or in connection with this Indenture and that may be made on such designee, appointee and agent in accordance with legal procedures prescribed for such courts.

(b) If at any time neither the Co-Issuers nor any Guarantor maintains a bona fide business location in the State of New York, then the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days) irrevocably designate, appoint and empower CT Corporation System, with offices currently at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011 (or another third party corporate service provider of national standing), as their designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on their behalf service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action, suit or proceeding brought against them in any such United States or state court located in the County of New York with respect to their obligations, liabilities or any other matter arising out of or in connection with this Indenture and that may be made on such designee, appointee and agent in accordance with legal procedures prescribed for such courts (the “ Third Party Process Agent ”; each of the Company Process Agent or the Third Party Process Agent, a “ Process Agent ”) and pay all fees and expenses required by the Third Party Process Agent in connection therewith. If for any reason such Third Party Process Agent hereunder shall cease to be available to act as such, each of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors agrees to designate a new Third Party Process Agent in the County of New York on the terms and for the purposes of this Section 11.15.

(c) Each of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors further hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in any such action, suit or proceeding against them by (i) serving a copy thereof upon any of the relevant Process Agents specified in clauses (a) or (b) above, or (ii) or by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, to the Co-Issuers, at their address specified in or designated pursuant to this Indenture. Each of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors agrees that the failure of any Process Agent, to give any notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.

(d) Each of the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Trustee or any Holder to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Co-Issuers or the Guarantors or bring actions, suits or proceedings against them in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by applicable law.

(e) The provisions of this Section 11.15 shall survive any termination of this Indenture, in whole or in part.

(f) Each of the Co-Issuers and each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Indenture brought in the United States federal courts located in the County of New York or the courts of the State of New York located in the County of New York and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, and their obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees (and the Notations of Guarantee), are subject to civil and commercial law and to suit and none of the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues have any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any of any Argentinean, Marshall Islands, Brazilian, Panamanian, Paraguayan, Uruguayan, New York State or U.S. federal court, as the case may be, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution or enforcement of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court, with respect to its obligations or liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees (and the Notations of Guarantee); and, to the extent that the Co-Issuers, any Guarantor or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, each of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors waived or will waive such right to the extent permitted by law and has consented to such relief and enforcement as provided in this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees (and the Notations of Guarantee).

(a) U.S. dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors under or in connection with the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture, including damages related thereto. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars by a Holder (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Co-Issuers or otherwise) in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Co-Issuers shall only constitute a discharge to the Co-Issuers to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that U.S. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the Notes, the Co-Issuers shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result as set forth in Section 11.16(b). In any event, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 11.16, it shall be sufficient for the Holder to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating sources of information

used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. dollars been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). The indemnities set forth in this Section 11.16 constitute separate and independent obligations from other obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under the Notes.

(b) The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, covenant and agree that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture:

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

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

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

(c) The obligations contained in subsections (a), (b)(1)(B) and (b)(2) of this Section 11.16 shall constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and

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

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

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed all as of the date first written above.
