Section 103. “Additional Guarantee” shall mean the guarantee by the New Guarantor, as authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, which guarantee is set forth in Article Two of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

Section 201. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Trustee as follows:

(a) The New Guarantor is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the law of Luxembourg.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by it of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture have been authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action on its part.

(a) The New Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security of each series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee for such Securities under the Indenture and to such Trustee for itself and on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and all other amounts owed under the Indenture, according to the terms thereof and of the

Indenture. In case of the failure of the Issuer promptly to make any such payment of principal (and premium, if any, on) or interest, the New Guarantor hereby agrees to make any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Issuer.

(b) The New Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or the Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee for the Securities of such series or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the New Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof, or increase the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration or the maturity thereof pursuant to Article Five of the Indenture. The New Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect to any sinking fund or analogous payment required under such Security and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that the Additional Guarantee of the New Guarantor will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Security or as otherwise set forth in the Indenture; provided, that if any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the New Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the New Guarantor any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, the Additional Guarantee of the New Guarantor, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(c) The New Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security and the Trustee for the Securities of such series against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the New Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of its Additional Guarantee; provided, however, that the New Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.

Section 203. Execution and Delivery of the Additional Guarantee of the New Guarantor.

To evidence its Additional Guarantee set forth in Section 202 of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the New Guarantor hereby agrees that this Sixth Supplemental Indenture shall be executed, manually or by facsimile, on behalf of the New Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President or one of its Vice Presidents and by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries.

The New Guarantor hereby agrees that its Additional Guarantee set forth in Section 202 of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Additional Guarantee on the Securities.

If an Officer of the New Guarantor whose signature is on this Sixth Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Securities, the Additional Guarantee of the New Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Securities by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Additional Guarantee of the New Guarantor set forth in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the New Guarantor.

The failure to make a payment on account of principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on the Securities by reason of any provision of this Article Two of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.

No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Indenture relating to the New Guarantor or consent to any departure by the New Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by the New Guarantor and the Trustee for the Securities of such series.

The obligations of the New Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will not result in the obligations of the New Guarantor under its Additional Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, after giving effect to all other relevant liabilities of the New Guarantor.

Section 301. This Sixth Supplemental Indenture is hereby executed and shall be construed as an indenture supplemental to the Indenture and, as provided in the Indenture, this Sixth Supplemental Indenture forms a part thereof.

Section 302. This Sixth Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Section 303. This Sixth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission

shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Sixth Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

Section 304. The Article headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 305. If any provision of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with any provision of the Supplemented Indenture which is required to be included in the Supplemented Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

Section 306. In case any provision in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 307. Nothing in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture or the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any person, other than the parties hereto and thereto and their successors hereunder and thereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under the Indenture, this Sixth Supplemental Indenture or the Securities.

Section 308. The Trustee accepts the amendments of the Indenture effected by this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, but on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, including the terms and provisions defining and limiting the liabilities and responsibilities of the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to any of the recitals or statements contained herein, all of which recitals or statements are made solely by the Company, the Co-Obligor, the Guarantors and the New Guarantor, or for or with respect to (i) the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or any of the terms or provisions hereof, (ii) the proper authorization hereof by the Company by action or otherwise, (iii) the due execution hereof by the Company or (iv) the consequences of any amendment herein provided for, and the Trustee makes no representation with respect to any such matters.

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