Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 14, 2011, Willis Group Holdings Public Limited Company (the “Company”) and Willis Netherlands Holdings B.V., Willis Investment Holdings UK Limited, TA I Limited, Trinity Acquisition plc, Willis Group Limited and Willis North America Inc. (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as the representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), in connection with the offer and sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.125% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) and $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.750% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes” and together with the 2016 Notes, the “Notes”).

On March 17, 2011, the Company completed the offering of the Notes. The Notes were sold in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333 -160129) and a related prospectus and prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes were issued pursuant to a base indenture (the “Indenture”) dated March 17, 2011 among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of March 17, 2011 between the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”).

The 2016 Notes and the 2021 Notes will mature on March 15, 2016 and March 15, 2021, respectively. Interest accrues on the Notes from March 17, 2011 and will be paid in cash on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2011. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Guarantors (the “Guarantees”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured senior debt and rank equally with the Company’s guarantees of Willis North America’s 5.625% senior notes due 2015, 6.200% senior notes due 2017 and 7.000% senior notes due 2019, Trinity Acquisition plc’s 12.875% senior notes due 2016 (the “12.875% Notes”) and any debt under the Company’s senior credit facilities. The Notes will be senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future subordinated debt and will be effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.

The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes being redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable treasury rate plus 35 basis points with respect to such a redemption of the 2016 Notes and 40 basis points with respect to such a redemption of the 2021 Notes.

The Company received net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and expenses, of approximately $794 million, which the Company intends to use to repurchase and/or redeem all of Trinity Acquisition plc’s outstanding 12.875% Notes. Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. The foregoing disclosure of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture. The Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture have been filed as Exhibit 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2 hereto, respectively.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information contained in Item 1.01 concerning the Company’s direct financial obligation is incorporated herein by reference.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The Securities will be issued under an indenture dated as of March 17, 2011, to be supplemented by a supplemental indenture (such indenture, as supplemented by such supplemental indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The use of the neuter in this Agreement shall include the feminine and masculine wherever appropriate. Except as otherwise specified or as the context otherwise implies, any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be,

     1. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors jointly and severally represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:

          (i) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and together they have prepared and filed with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement, as defined in Rule 405 (File Number 333-160129), on Form S-3, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 thereto, including a related Basic Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution Time, became effective upon filing. The Issuer may have filed with the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Issuer will file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b). As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Basic Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Issuer has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x).

          (ii) On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did or will, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined herein), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each Effective Date and at the Execution Time, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; on the Effective Date and on the Closing Date the Indenture did or will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules thereunder; and, on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors make no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the

2

Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriters consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

          (iii) (A) The Disclosure Package, when taken together as a whole, and (B) each electronic roadshow when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

          (iv) (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Issuer, any Guarantor or any person acting on their behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163, and (D) at the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (D)), the Issuer was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405. The Issuer agrees to pay the fees required by the Commission relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).

          (v) (A) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Issuer, any Guarantor or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) of the Securities and (B) as of the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (B)), none of the Issuer or any Guarantor was or is an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Issuer be considered an Ineligible Issuer.

          (vi) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(ii) hereof does not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated therein and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

          (viii) All the outstanding ordinary or common equity interests or shares, as applicable, in each of the Issuer, the Guarantors and each of their respective Significant Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule II, all outstanding common equity interests or shares in each such Significant Subsidiary are owned by the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, either directly or indirectly and, except as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, are owned free and clear of any perfected security interest or any other security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances.

          (ix) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Issuer and the Guarantors, has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, court protection, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect, to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and with respect to Irish law, to limitation periods imposed by law and other matters which are set out as qualifications or reservations as to matters of law of general application in any opinion provided hereunder); the Securities have been duly authorized and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors entitled to the benefits of the Indenture (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, court protection, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect, to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and with respect to Irish law, to limitation periods imposed by law and other matters which are set out as qualifications or reservations as to matters of law of general application in any opinion provided hereunder); and the Guarantee of each Guarantor has been duly authorized and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, court protection or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of

4

          (xi) The descriptions in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) of statutes, and other laws, rules and regulations, legal and governmental proceedings and contracts and other documents applicable to the Issuer and the Guarantors are accurate and fairly present in all material respects the information that is required to be described therein under the Act; and there is no franchise, contract or other document of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus, or to be filed as an exhibit thereto, which is not described or filed as required.

          (xv) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the sale of the Securities, the consummation of any other of the transactions herein contemplated or the fulfillment of the terms hereof will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Issuer, the Guarantors or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to (i) the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Issuer or the charter or by-laws (or similar organizational documents) of the Guarantors or the Significant Subsidiaries, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement, partnership agreement, joint venture agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer, the Guarantors or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or is bound or to which its or their properties or assets are subject (collectively, “Contracts”) or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any Significant Subsidiary of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Issuer, the Guarantors or any Significant Subsidiary or any of its or their properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) for such

          (xix) Deloitte LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries and delivered their report with respect to certain audited consolidated financial statements included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, are independent public accountants with respect to the Issuer within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

          (xx) No stamp, registration, documentary, transfer, sales, stock exchange, value-added, withholding or any other similar duty or tax is payable in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland or any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors is organized or engaged in business for tax purposes or, in each case, any political subdivision thereof or any authority having power to tax, in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the Issuer and the Guarantors or the issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters or the initial resales thereof by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

          (xxi) Each of the Issuer and its Significant Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state, local and foreign (including, without limitation, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Ireland) tax returns required to be filed to the date hereof, except where the failure to so file such returns would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all material taxes shown as due thereon; and other than tax deficiencies which the Issuer or any such Significant Subsidiary is contesting in good faith and for which the Issuer or any such Significant Subsidiary has provided adequate reserves, there is no tax deficiency that has been asserted against the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (xxii) Each of the Issuer and its Significant Subsidiaries has good and marketable title, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions, to all property and assets described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus as being owned by it and good title to all leasehold estates in the real property described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus as being leased by it except for (i) liens for taxes not yet due and payable, (ii) liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions that do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such properties (including, without limitation, purchase money mortgages), and (iii) to the extent the failure to have such title or the existence of such liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (xxiii) Neither the Issuer nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries is involved in any labor dispute nor, to the best of the knowledge of the Issuer, is any labor dispute threatened which, if such dispute were to occur, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (xxiv) The Issuer and each of its Significant Subsidiaries maintain insurance insuring against such losses and risks as the Issuer reasonably believes is adequate to protect the Issuer and each of its Significant Subsidiaries and their respective businesses, except where the failure to maintain such insurance would not reasonably be

7

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; the Issuer and its Significant Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects; and there are no claims by the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; none of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for; and none of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

          (xxv) Under the current laws and regulations of Ireland, all payments made hereunder and on the Securities may be paid by the Issuer to the holder thereof in United States dollars that may be freely transferred out of Ireland and all such payments made to holders thereof who are non-residents of Ireland will not be subject to income, withholding or other taxes under the laws or regulations of Ireland in the circumstances, described under the heading “Certain Material Income Tax Consequences—Irish Taxation” in the Final Prospectus and will otherwise be free of any other tax, duty, withholding or deduction in Ireland and without the necessity of obtaining any governmental authorization in Ireland.

          (xxvi) Under the current laws and regulations of the Netherlands, England and Wales, all payments made hereunder and on the Securities may be paid by any Guarantor organized in such jurisdictions to the holder thereof in United States dollars that may be freely transferred out of the Netherlands and England and Wales as applicable, and all such payments made to holders thereof who are non-residents of the Netherlands and England and Wales as applicable, will not be subject to income, withholding or other taxes under the laws or regulations of the Netherlands and England and Wales as applicable, and will otherwise be free of any other tax, duty, withholding or deduction in England and Wales as applicable, and without the necessity of obtaining any governmental authorization in England and Wales as applicable.

          (xxvii) Each of the Issuer and its Significant Subsidiaries possesses all licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and has made all declarations and filings with, all appropriate federal, state, local, foreign and other governmental authorities, all self-regulatory organizations and all courts and other tribunals, presently required or necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate their respective properties and to carry on the business of the Issuer, and its Significant Subsidiaries as now conducted as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the lack of which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (“Permits”); each of the Issuer and its Significant Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with respect to such Permits and, to the best knowledge of the Issuer, no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or

8

results in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit, except where the failure to fulfill or perform such obligations or such impairment, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and none of the Issuer or its Significant Subsidiaries has not received any notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such Permit except where such revocation or modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (xxviii) The Issuer and each of its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the Issuer’s financial records, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Issuer; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Issuer; and (iii) unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the Issuer’s financial statements are detected in a timely manner. The Issuer and its subsidiaries maintain internal control over financial reporting, and such internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and such internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Issuer maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Issuer in the reports that the Issuer files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

          (xxix) The Issuer and the Guarantors have not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security issued by any of them to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

          (xxx) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of the Issuer, the Issuer and its Significant Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable existing federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health or the environment or imposing liability or requiring standards of conduct concerning any Hazardous Materials (“Environmental Laws”). The term “Hazardous Material” means (a) any “hazardous substance” as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (b) any

9

“hazardous waste” as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, (c) any petroleum or petroleum product, (d) any polychlorinated biphenyl and (e) any pollutant or contaminant or hazardous, dangerous or toxic chemical, material, waste or substance regulated under or within the meaning of any other Environmental Law. None of the Issuer or its Significant Subsidiaries has received any written notice and there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Issuer, threatened action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or governmental agency or body alleging liability (including, without limitation, alleged or potential liability for investigatory costs, cleanup costs, governmental response costs, natural resources damages, property damages, personal injuries, or penalties) of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries arising out of, based on or resulting from (i) the presence or release into the environment of any Hazardous Material at any location owned by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law, in either case (x) which alleged or potential liability would be required to be described in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the Registration Statement under the Act, or (y) which alleged or potential liability would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (xxxi) None of the Issuer or its subsidiaries has any material liability for any prohibited transaction or funding deficiency or any complete or partial withdrawal liability with respect to any pension, profit sharing or other plan which is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), to which it makes or ever has made a contribution and in which any employee of it is or has ever been a participant. With respect to such plans, each of the Issuer and its subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA. In addition, the Issuer has caused (i) all pension schemes maintained by or for the benefit of any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries organized under the laws of England and Wales or any of its employees to be maintained and operated in all material respects in accordance with all applicable laws from time to time and (ii) all such pension schemes to be funded in accordance with the governing provisions of such schemes, except to the extent failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (xxxii) The subsidiaries listed on Schedule III attached hereto are the only Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer as defined by Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X (the “Significant Subsidiaries”).

          (xxxiii) The Issuer and each of its Significant Subsidiaries owns or possesses adequate licenses or other rights to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, copyrights, licenses and know-how (including, without limitation, trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures) and copyrights necessary to conduct the business described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, except where the failure to own or possess or have the ability to acquire any of the foregoing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of the

10

Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names or copyrights which, if such assertion of infringement or conflict were sustained, would individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (xxxiv) None of the Issuer, the Guarantors or their respective properties or assets has any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) under the laws of the United States, the Netherlands, England and Wales or Ireland.

          (xxxv) To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability and admissibility into evidence of each of this Agreement, the Securities and any other document to be furnished hereunder in Ireland, it is not necessary that this Agreement, the Securities or such other document be filed or recorded with any court or other authority in Ireland or any stamp or similar tax be paid in Ireland on or in respect of this Agreement, the Securities or any such other document.

          (xxxvi) The Issuer and the Guarantors have duly and irrevocably appointed Adam Ciongoli, Willis Group Holdings Limited, One World Financial Center, 200 Liberty Street, New York, New York, 10281, as its agent to receive service of process with respect to actions arising out of or in connection with (i) this Agreement; and (ii) violations of United States federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of the Securities.

          (xxxvii) Under Irish law, Dutch law and the law of England and Wales the Underwriters will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on any commercial activity in Ireland, the Netherlands or England and Wales or subject to any taxation in Ireland, the Netherlands or England and Wales by reason only of the entry into, performance or enforcement of this Agreement to which they are a party or the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that the Underwriters do not execute this Agreement (or any documents contemplated thereby) in Ireland and do not carry out any of the activities or operations relating to this Agreement (or the transactions contemplated thereby) in Ireland, through a branch, agency or otherwise. It is not necessary under Irish law, Dutch law or the law of England and Wales that the Underwriters be authorized, licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Ireland, the Netherlands or England and Wales for their execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement.

          (xxxviii) Under Irish law, a final and conclusive judgment properly obtained in a New York State court or U.S. federal court in the State of New York of competent jurisdiction based upon this Agreement, the Securities or the Indenture under which a sum of money is payable, may be the subject of enforcement proceedings in Ireland under common law rules on the debt evidenced by the judgment of such court. A final opinion as to the availability of this remedy should be sought when the facts

11

surrounding the foreign court’s judgment are known, but, on general principles, one would expect such proceedings to be successful provided that:

          (1) the court which gave the judgment was competent to hear the action in accordance with private international law principles as applied in Ireland;

          (2) the judgment is not contrary to public policy in Ireland, has not been obtained by fraud or in proceedings contrary to natural or constitutional justice, and the judgment is not inconsistent with a prior Irish judgment; and

          (3) the proceedings are instituted in Ireland within the applicable limitation period.

          (xxxix) Under Dutch law, a final and conclusive judgment properly obtained in a New York State court or U.S. federal court in the State of New York of competent jurisdiction under this Agreement, the Securities or the Indenture, including the Guarantee of any Guarantor, against Willis Netherlands Holdings B.V., will not automatically be recognized, but the relevant claim must be brought before the competent court of the Netherlands, whereby the U.S. judgment may be the subject of enforcement proceedings in the Netherlands under the laws governing debt evidenced by such judgment. A final opinion as to the availability of this remedy should be sought when the facts surrounding the foreign court’s judgment are known, but, on general principles, one would expect such proceedings to be successful provided that the enforcement of such judgment complies with Dutch procedural law, which requires that:

(i)	the judgment was rendered by the foreign court that was (based on internationally accepted grounds) competent to take cognizance of the matter;
(ii)	the judgment is the outcome of a ‘proper’ judicial procedure (behoorlijke rechtspleging); and
(iii)	the judgment is not manifestly incompatible with the public policy (openbare orde) of the Netherlands.

          (xl) A final and conclusive judgment properly obtained in a New York State court or U.S. federal court in the State of New York of competent jurisdiction under this Agreement, the Securities or the Indenture, including the Guarantee of any Guarantor, against Willis Investment UK Holdings Limited,TA I Limited, Trinity Acquisition plc and Willis Group Limited will be recognized in England, and given effect in England at common law by an action or counterclaim for the amount due under such judgment, without a substantive re-examination of the merits of such judgment.

          (xli) The operations of the Issuer and each of its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money

12

Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened.

          (xlii) None of the Issuer, its subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”); and the Issuer and its subsidiaries will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering of the Securities hereunder, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

          Any certificate signed by any officer of the Issuer or of any Guarantor and delivered to the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, as to matters covered thereby, to each Underwriter.

     2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Issuer agrees to, and the Guarantors agree to cause the Issuer to, sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Issuer, at a purchase price of 99.887% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 98.445% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes plus accrued interest on the Securities from March 15, 2011 to the date of delivery, the amount of the Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto.

     3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Securities shall be made at 10:00 AM, New York City time, on March 17, 2011, or at such time on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives, the Issuer and the Guarantors or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the aggregate purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Issuer by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to an account specified by the Issuer. Delivery of the Securities shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

     4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Final Prospectus.

     5. Agreements. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree with the several Underwriters that:

13

          (i) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Issuer will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus unless the Issuer has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. The Issuer will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Issuer will promptly advise the Representatives (1) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (2) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (3) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information, (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (5) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Issuer will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

          (ii) The Issuer shall prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of final terms of the Securities and the offering thereof, in a form approved by you and shall file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule.

          (iii) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time, not misleading, the Issuer will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

          (iv) If, at any time when the Final Prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,

14

in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of the Final Prospectus, the Issuer will (1) promptly notify the Representatives of any such event, (2) as soon as practicable, prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (i) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; (3) use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order to avoid any disruption in use of the Final Prospectus; and (4) promptly supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

          (v) As soon as practicable, the Issuer will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of the Issuer and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

          (vi) The Issuer will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request.

          (vii) The Issuer and each Guarantor will cooperate with you and counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that in no event shall the Issuer or any Guarantor be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, or taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

          (viii) The Issuer and the Guarantors will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security issued by any of them to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

          (ix) The Issuer agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (1) the preparation, printing or reproduction and filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), each Free Writing Prospectus, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final

15

Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (2) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, each Free Writing Prospectus, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (3) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities; (4) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any blue sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (5) the registration of the Securities under the Exchange Act; (6) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration and qualification); (7) any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Underwriters relating to such filings); (8) transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Issuer representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities; (9) the fees and expenses of the Issuer’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Issuer and the Guarantors; and (10) all other costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer and the Guarantors that are incidental to the performance by the Issuer and the Guarantors of their respective obligations hereunder.

          (x) Each of the Issuer and each Guarantor agrees that, unless it has obtained or will obtain the prior written consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Issuer that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Issuer, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Issuer with the Commission or retained by the Issuer under Rule 433, other than the information contained in the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(ii) hereof; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule IV hereto. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Issuer is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Issuer and each Guarantor agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

     6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Issuer and the Guarantors contained herein as of the Execution Time and the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Issuer and the Guarantors made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions

16

hereof, to the performance by the Issuer and the Guarantors of their respective obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

          (a) The Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); the final term sheet contemplated by Section 5(ii) hereof, and any other material required to be filed by the Issuer pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.

          (b) The Issuer shall have requested and caused Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, U.S. and U.K. counsel for the Issuer, to have furnished to the Representatives their opinion and letter, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, in the forms set forth on Annexes A-I(1) and A-I(2) and A-II hereto.

          (d) The Issuer shall have requested and caused Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V., Dutch counsel for the Issuer, to have furnished to the Representatives their opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, in the form set forth on Annex C hereto.

          (e) Adam Ciongoli, the Issuer’s General Counsel, shall have furnished to the Representatives his opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, in the form set forth on Annex D hereto.

          (f) The Representatives shall have received from Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, with respect to the sale of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

          (g) The Issuer shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate signed by Michael Neborak and Adam Ciongoli, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, any supplements to the Final Prospectus and this Agreement and that:

17

          (i) the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Issuer and the Guarantors have complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

          (ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened; and

          (iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no event or development that has had, or that would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (h) The Issuer shall have requested and caused Deloitte LLP to have furnished to the Representatives, (i) at the Execution Time, a letter dated as of the Execution Time, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Preliminary Prospectus and Disclosure Package, which letter shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than three business days prior to the Execution Time, and (ii) at the Closing Date, a “bring down” comfort letter dated as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, that reaffirms the statements made in the letter pursuant to subclause (i) of this Section 6(h), except that the specified cut-off date referred to shall be a date not more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

          (i) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (h) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change or any development that can be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business prospects or results of operations of the Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any

18

amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

          (j) Prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall have furnished to the Representatives such further customary information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

          (k) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of debt securities of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

          If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Issuer in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

          The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at 885 Third Avenue, New York, New York, 10022 on the Closing Date.

     7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Issuer or of any of the Guarantors to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Issuer and the Guarantors will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

     8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other foreign, federal, state or statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact

19

contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(ii) hereof or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described in Section 8(b) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Issuer and the Guarantors may otherwise have.

          (b) The Issuer shall pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against, any stamp, registration, documentary, transfer, sales, stock exchange, value-added, withholding or any other similar duty or tax in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the Issuer and the Guarantors or the issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters or the initial resales thereof by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus. All payments to be made by the Issuer or any Guarantor to the Underwriters under this Agreement shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges whatsoever unless the Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties or charges. In that event, the Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay to the Underwriters such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made.

          (c) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the Guarantors, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Issuer or the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Guarantors to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Issuer and the Guarantors acknowledge

20

that the statements set forth in the ninth paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Underwriting,” (i) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (ii) the fourth paragraph relating to concessions and reallowances, and (iii) the sixth, seventh and eighth paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Preliminary Prospectus, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus.

          (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement,

21

compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

          (e) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Issuer and the Guarantors and the Underwriters agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Issuer and the Guarantors and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall (i) any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Issuer and the Guarantors and the Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Issuer and the Guarantors or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Issuer or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution

22

as the Issuer, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

     9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Issuer or the Guarantors. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Issuer and the Guarantors and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

     10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Issuer prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if (a) at any time subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to such time (i) trading in the Issuer’s ordinary shares shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States, the United Kingdom or Ireland of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis that is material and adverse and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses 10(a)(i) through 10(a)(iii), the effect of such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

     11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Issuer and the Guarantors or their respective officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any

23

investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Issuer and the Guarantors or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

     12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Representatives c/o Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Investment Grade Syndicate, Fax: (212) 412-7305 (with a copy to the General Counsel at the same address); if sent to the Issuer, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (212) 519-5407 and confirmed to it at One World Financial Center, 200 Liberty Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York, 10281, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

     In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

     13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

     14. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which any of them may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Issuer or the Guarantors and (c) the Issuer’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Issuer or the Guarantors on related or other matters). Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Issuer or the Guarantors, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

     15. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Issuer and the Guarantors and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

24

     16. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Annex A-II

Negative Assurance Letter of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or quantitative information, and many determinations involved in the preparation of the Offering Documents are of a non-legal character. In addition, we have not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Offering Documents or in the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”). Consequently, in this letter we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Offering Documents. Also, we do not make any statement herein with respect to any of the financial statements and related notes thereto, the financial statement schedules or the financial or accounting data contained or incorporated by reference in the Offering Documents.

We have reviewed the Offering Documents (including the Incorporated Documents) and we have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company, its Ireland counsel, its independent public accountants, you and your counsel at which conferences the contents of the Offering Documents, the Incorporated Documents and related matters were discussed.

Subject to the foregoing, we confirm to you that, on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, (a) the Registration Statement (including the Incorporated Documents), as of its most recent effective date (which for purposes of this letter is understood to be the date of the Agreement), and the Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents), as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive, in all material respects relevant to the offering of the Securities, to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and (b) no facts have come to our attention which cause us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement (including the Incorporated Documents), as of its most recent effective date (which for purposes of this letter is understood to be the date of the Agreement), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Incorporated Documents), as of 4:00 PM on March 14, 2011, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents), as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement or as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Annex C

Opinion of Dutch Counsel

1. Corporate Status of the Company

The Company is duly incorporated as a private limited liability company (Besloten Vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) and is validly existing and since the Company has not been dissolved, is not in liquidation, has not merged nor demerged as a result of which the Company ceased to exist, has not been declared bankrupt and has not been granted suspension of payments, it may be considered in good standing (an expression, however, which has no recognized meaning under Netherlands law).

2. Share capital of the Company

According to the Shareholders Register, the entire issued share capital of the Company consists of 10,000,000 shares, each share with a nominal value of EUR 0.01, all of which shares (the “Shares”) are held by Willis Group Holdings PLC.

3. Corporate capacity / Corporate actions

The Company has the necessary corporate capacity to enter into and perform the Agreements, to which it is a party, and has taken all necessary corporate actions to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements.

4. Due execution

In accordance with article 19.1 of the Articles, the board of managing directors of the Company shall represent the Company. The authority to represent the Company shall also be vested in a managing director A and a managing director B acting jointly.

According to the Excerpt the board of managing directors of the Company consists of Adriaan Cornelis Konijnendijk (managing director A), Dennis Beets (managing director A), Paulus Cornelis Gerhardus van Duuren (managing director A), Charles William Mooney (managing director B) and Sarah Joan Turvill (managing director B) (jointly the “Board Members”).

Since the Board Resolution, which contains the Power of Attorney, is expressed to have been executed by all of the Board Members, the Power of Attorney has been validly issued on behalf of the Company.

Thus, the execution of the Agreements on behalf of the Company by means of the signature of Mr. A.G. Ciongoli and/or Mr. A.C. Konijnendijk acting upon the Power of Attorney constitutes a due execution of the Agreements on behalf of the Company.

5. Choice of law. Enforcement of judgements

The Dutch courts will recognize and give effect to the choice of the laws of the State of New York to govern the Agreements. As to the enforcement of any judgments rendered

by the Federal and State courts in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, United States of America, to which non-exclusive jurisdiction the Company has submitted in the Agreements, reference is made to the qualification under (C) below.

6. No filings or consents

No consents, licenses and approvals of any administrative agency or governmental or other body in the Netherlands are required as of the date hereof pursuant to Dutch law in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement and for the performance by the Company of the terms thereof, and for the validity and enforceability thereof.

7. Non-conflict or violation

The entry into and performance by the Company of the Agreement does not and will not conflict with any present statute, law or governmental regulation in the Netherlands to which the Company is subject, or violate any provisions of the Articles.

Annex D

Opinion of Internal Counsel to the Issuer

SECTION 2.03 Securities in Global Form

     If any Security of a series is issuable in global form (a “Global Security”), such Global Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified in such Global Security. Any instructions by the Issuer with respect to a Global Security, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.02.

     All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officer’s Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time, and unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuance of additional Securities of such series without the consent of the Holders thereof.

     The Securities of all series shall rank on a parity in right of payment.

     Except as modified in a Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing a series of Securities, the Securities shall be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each Guarantor as provided in Article Sixteen.

     If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

SECTION 3.02 Denominations.

     The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     The Securities shall be executed under the common seal of the Issuer reproduced thereon and the affixing of such seal to the Securities shall be signed and countersigned by any two directors of the Issuer, or by a director and the Secretary of the Issuer or by any director of the Issuer and any other officer of the Issuer authorized by the Board of Directors to sign or countersign the affixing of such seal. The signature of any of these directors or officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

     Securities bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Issuer shall bind such Person notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Securities.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the

14

Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent Global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 3.04, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with the original issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security.

     In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon the documents specified in Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and, in addition:

     (1) a Board Resolution relating thereto, and if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant to such Board Resolution, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Issuer, if applicable;

     (2) an executed supplemental indenture, if any; and

     (3) an Opinion of Counsel which shall state:

     (A) that the form and terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolutions, by a supplemental indenture or by both such resolution or resolutions and such supplemental indenture in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (B) that the supplemental indenture, if any, when executed and delivered by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors;

     (C) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity); and

     (D) that the Guarantees, when the Securities to which they relate shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution and the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Board Resolution and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each

15

Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. 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.

SECTION 3.04 Temporary Securities.

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, reproduced or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

     If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

     SECTION 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange Global Securities Representing the Securities.

     (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

The Security Registrar shall maintain on behalf of the Issuer a full and complete list of names and addresses of all Holders of Securities issued by the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto, and the principal amount of Securities held by such Holder.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity.

16

     Except as otherwise provided in this Article Three, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or by a member of a national securities exchange.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 10.06 or 12.07 not involving any transfer.

     The Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 12.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

     (b) If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Issuer Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or delivered or held pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction, and (iv) unless otherwise provided for with respect to the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 3.01, shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “This Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary, unless and until this Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form.”

     Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.01 must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other applicable statute or regulation.

     If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation (as required by this Section 3.05), the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under this Section 3.05 with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Issuer shall execute, and the

17

Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

     The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depositary determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

     If the Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer may, and upon the request of the Trustee shall, promptly execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

     The Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge:

     (i) to each Person specified by the Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

     (ii) to the Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to holders thereof.

     Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

     None of the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

SECTION 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to

18

save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

     Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

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

SECTION 3.07 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

     At the option of the Issuer, interest on the Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

     Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having

19

been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

     (2) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

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

SECTION 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners.

     Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, any Guarantor, or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, any Guarantor, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.09 Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, conversion, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly shall be cancelled by it and, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or any Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer or any Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered promptly shall be cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures unless directed by an Issuer Order. The acquisition of any Securities by the Issuer or any Guarantor shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented thereby unless and until such Securities are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. Permanent Global Securities shall not be destroyed until exchanged in full for definitive Securities or until payment thereon is made in full.

SECTION 3.10 Computation of Interest.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 3.11 CUSIP Numbers.

     The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

     (b) the Issuer or any Guarantor, has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer or any Guarantor; and

     (c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the entire Indebtedness on all Securities of such series have been complied with.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor to the Trustee under Section 7.07 or to any Authenticating Agent under Section 3.03 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (2) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 5.07 and the last paragraph of Section 11.03 shall survive.

21

SECTION 5.02 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a supplemental indenture or, at any time, by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate with respect to the Securities of any series, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a particular series of Securities, elect to have either Section 5.03 or 5.04 be applied to all of the Outstanding Securities of that series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Five.

SECTION 5.03 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

     Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 5.02 of the option applicable to this Section 5.03, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Securities of the particular series and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged all the obligations relating to the Outstanding Securities of that series, including any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Securities of that series, including any coupons appertaining thereto, shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 5.06 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to below in this Section 5.03, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture and cured all then existing Events of Default (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations, as the case may be, with respect to Securities of such series under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 11.02 and 11.03, (ii) rights of Holders to receive payments of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series as they shall become due from time to time and other rights, duties and obligations of Holders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts so deposited with the Trustee, (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (for which purposes the Securities of such series shall be deemed outstanding), (iv) this Article Five and the obligations set forth in Section 5.06 hereof and (v) the obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor under Section 7.07 hereof.

     Subject to compliance with this Article Five, the Issuer may exercise its option under Section 5.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 5.04 with respect to the Securities of a particular series and any coupons appertaining thereto.

SECTION 5.04 Covenant Defeasance.

     Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 5.02 of the option applicable to this Section 5.04, the Issuer shall be released from any obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 11.04, 11.05 and 11.06 hereof or established pursuant to Section 3.01 or 10.01 hereof with respect to the Outstanding Securities of the particular series on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or Event of Default under Section 6.01(4) or any Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.01 or 10.01 but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of that series shall be unaffected thereby.

SECTION 5.05 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

22

     The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 5.03 or Section 5.04 to the Outstanding Securities of a particular series:

     (a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be irrevocably deposited, with the Trustee for the Securities of that series, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, cash in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of that series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of that series) sufficient or U.S. Government Obligations the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient or a combination thereof sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, due on the Outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons to and including the date of Stated Maturity, or the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons;

     (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance only, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series (1) an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, since the date on which Securities of such series were originally issued, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will 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 or (2) a copy of a ruling or other formal statement or action to that effect received from or published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service;

     (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance only, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such 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;

     (d) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series (other than any event resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

     (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement (other than this Indenture) or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound; and

     (f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

     As used in this Article Five, “U.S. Government Obligations” means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation of the United States of America, which, in either case under clause (i) or (ii), are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and will also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specified payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific

23

payment of interest on or principal of the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

SECTION 5.06 Survival of Certain Obligations.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Securities of a particular series referred to in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.04, or 5.05, the respective obligations of the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series under Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.09, 5.07, 5.08, 5.09 and 6.08, Article 7, and Sections 8.01, 8.02, 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04, shall survive with respect to Securities of that series until the Securities of that series are cancelled, and thereafter the obligations of the Issuer and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series with respect to that series under Sections 5.08 and 7.07 shall survive. Nothing contained in this Article Five shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee of any series of Securities under this Indenture.

SECTION 5.07 Application of Trust Money.

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 11.03, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.05 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or any Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

SECTION 5.08 Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any other Paying Agent remaining unclaimed by the Holders of any Securities for two years after the date upon which the principal of or interest on such Securities shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee or any such other Paying Agent and such Holders shall thereafter be entitled to look to the Issuer only as general creditors for payment thereof (unless otherwise provided by law); provided, however, that, before the Trustee or any such other Paying Agent is required to make any such payment to the Issuer, the Trustee may, upon the written request of the Issuer and at the expense of the Issuer, cause to be published once in an Authorized Newspaper a notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after the date set forth in said notice, the balance of such money then unclaimed will be returned to the Issuer.

SECTION 5.09 Reinstatement.

     If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 5.07, by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.05, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 5.07 provided that, if the Issuer or any Guarantor has made payment of principal of, or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee.

SECTION 6.01 Events of Default.

     “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

     (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of any Security of that series; or

     (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary in this Indenture or any Security of that series (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer or such Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Issuer or such Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

     (5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or appointing a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of their property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

     (6) the commencement by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action, or the taking of any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or

     (7) any Guarantee shall for any reason cease to be, or shall for any reason be asserted in writing by any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent contemplated by the Indenture and any such Guarantee; or

25

     (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

SECTION 6.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other than of a type specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer or a Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in any of the Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding.

     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Issuer or a Guarantor and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

     (1) the Issuer or a Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

     (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

     (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

     (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof;

     and

     (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 6.01(5) or (6), all outstanding Securities shall IPSO FACTO become due and payable without further action or notice.

SECTION 6.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     The Issuer covenants that if

     (1) default is made in the payment of interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,

26

     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or, premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, or

     (3) default is made in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation when the same becomes due pursuant to the terms of any Security,

the Issuer, upon demand of the Trustee, will pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal, including any sinking fund payment or analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, 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 and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.

     If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 6.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

     (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents and take such other actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter, 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 of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

     (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same;

     and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

27

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person or to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, on any committee of creditors.

SECTION 6.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities.

     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 6.06 Application of Money Collected.

     Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07;

     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and

     THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer, its successors or assigns, or to whomever may be so lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

SECTION 6.07 Limitation on Suits.

     No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

     (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;

     (2) the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

     (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

     (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

28

     (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 6.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, any Guarantor the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 6.12 Control by Holders.

     The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that

     (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

     (2) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of the Securities of such series not taking part in such direction, or to the Holders of the Securities of any other series or would involve the Trustee in personal liability, and

29

     (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 6.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default

(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

     Upon any such 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 waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.14 Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 6.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

     The Issuer and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each Guarantor (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE SEVEN

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

30

     (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into 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 or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but 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 be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not verify the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or the contents thereof or whether procedures specified by or pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture have been followed in the preparation thereof.

     (b) In case 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

     (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

     (1) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;

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

     (4) 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 in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and

     (5) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 7.02 Notice of Defaults.

     Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.01(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

     (i) the permissive right of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty;

     (j) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

32

SECTION 7.05 May Hold Securities.

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 7.08 and 7.13, may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

     (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

33

     (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, if the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01, the expenses and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law.

     The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or termination of this Indenture.

SECTION 7.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

     The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time provided for therein. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded this Indenture with respect to Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series of Securities. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 7.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

     There shall at all times be a corporate Trustee hereunder which complies with the requirements of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and having its Corporate Trust Office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 7.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11.

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 10 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

34

     (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer.

     (d) If at any time:

     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

     (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any such Holder, or

     (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 6.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

     (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Issuer, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

     (f) The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 7.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request

35

of the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

     (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

     (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

     (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

SECTION 7.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee may be sold or otherwise transferred, shall be the successor trustee hereunder without any further act. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.

     The Trustee is subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

COVENANTS

SECTION 11.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

     The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities of that series and this Indenture.

SECTION 11.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

     The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series 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 the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Issuer will 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.

SECTION 11.03 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

     If the Issuer or any Guarantor shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on

41

the Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act or of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of that series) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable.

     Whenever the Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, at or prior to the opening of business on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and premium, if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     If the Issuer shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee for any series of Securities, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

     (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

     (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series; and

     (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

     The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder or for any other reason, pay or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer, any Guarantor or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer, any Guarantor or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer or any Guarantor on Issuer Request subject to applicable abandoned property and escheat law, or (if then held by the Issuer or any Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer or any Guarantor for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer or any Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once a week for two consecutive weeks (in each case on any day of the week) in an Authorized Newspaper notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

SECTION 11.06 Maintenance of Properties.

     The Issuer will cause all its properties used or useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in reasonably good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuer from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Issuer desirable in the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities of any series.

SECTION 11.07 Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Issuer may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 11.04, 11.05 and 11.06 or established pursuant to Section 3.01 or 10.01, with respect to the Securities of any series, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuer and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 11.08 Statement by Officers as to Default.

     The Issuer will, within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year, commencing with the first fiscal year ending after the issuance of Securities of any series under this Indenture, file with the Trustee a certificate of the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Issuer, covering the period from the date of issuance of such Securities to the end of the fiscal year in which such Securities were issued, in the case of the first such certificate, and covering the preceding fiscal year in the case of each subsequent certificate, and stating whether or not, to the knowledge of the signer, the Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants on its part contained in this Indenture, and, if the signer has obtained knowledge of any default by the Issuer in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any such condition or covenant, specifying each such default and the nature thereof. For the purpose of this Section 11.08, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.09 Reports by the Issuer.

     The Issuer shall:

43

     (1) file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or, if the Issuer is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of said Sections, then it shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

     Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

SECTION 11.10 Further Assurances.

     From time to time whenever reasonably demanded by the Trustee, the Issuer and each Guarantor will make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered any and all such further and other instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or facilitate the performance of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 12.07 Securities Redeemed in Part.

     Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the security so surrendered. Securities in denominations larger than the minimum authorized denomination therefor may be redeemed in part, but only in whole multiples of $1,000.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN

GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES

SECTION 16.01 Guarantee

     Except as otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing a series of Securities and subject to the provisions of this Article Sixteen, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not

50

merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Securities when due, whether on the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise; and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including all obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under this Indenture) and the Securities and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article Sixteen notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

     Each Guarantor waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) (a) presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) notice of protest for nonpayment and (c) notice of any default under Securities of any series or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities of any series or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities of any series or any other agreement relating to this Indenture or the Securities; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor, except as provided in Section 16.02(b).

     Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) (x) any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed, (y) any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder and (z) any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuer be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor.

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

     Except as expressly set forth in Article Five and Section 16.02, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities of any series or any other agreement relating to this Indenture or the Securities, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

     Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or

51

interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

     In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the Holders and the Trustee.

     Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article Six, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 16.01.

     Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 16.01.

SECTION 16.02 Limitation on Liability.

     (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum, aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

     (b) This Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article Sixteen and Section 9.02 upon (i) the merger or consolidation of such Guarantor with or into any Person other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Issuer where such Guarantor is not the surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) the sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Issuer of all the Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Guarantor; provided however, that in the case of (i) and (ii) above, such merger, consolidation, sale, exchange or transfer is made in accordance with Section 9.01 and the successor Person or transferee has assumed all of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and the Securities. This Guarantee also shall be automatically released upon the release or discharge of the Indebtedness that results in the creation of such Guarantee, as the case may be. At the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.

SECTION 16.03 Benefits Acknowledged.

     Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 16.04 Successors and Assigns.

52

     This Article Sixteen shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities of any series shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 16.05 No Waiver.

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

SECTION 16.06 Modification.

     No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article Sixteen, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

ARTICLE SEVENTEEN

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 17.01 Counterparts.

RECITALS OF THE ISSUER AND THE GUARANTORS

          WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2011 (the “Original Indenture”), providing for the issuance from time to time of its unsecured senior debentures, notes or other evidences of Indebtedness (the “Securities”), to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Original Indenture;

          WHEREAS, Section 10.01 of the Original Indenture provides that the Issuer, each Guarantor and the Trustee may from time to time enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto to establish a new series of Securities and add certain provisions to the Original Indenture;

          WHEREAS, Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Original Indenture provide that the Issuer may enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto to establish the form and terms of a series of Securities issued pursuant to the Original Indenture;

          WHEREAS, the Issuer, pursuant to the foregoing authority, proposes in and by this First Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”) to supplement the Original Indenture insofar as it will apply only to two series of securities to be known as the Issuer’s 4.125% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) and the 5.750% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes” and together with the 2016 Notes, the “Notes”) issued hereunder (and not to any other series);

          WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Guarantors have duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture; and

          WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer and the Guarantors, in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Original Indenture.

          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

4.125% Senior Notes due 2016 and 5.750% Senior Notes due 2021

          SECTION 1.01. Creation of Series; Establishment of Form.

          (1) There is hereby established two new series of Securities under the Indenture entitled “4.125% Senior Notes due 2016” and “5.750% Senior Notes due 2021”.

          (2) The Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the respective forms attached hereto as Exhibits A and B.

          (3) The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 for the 2016 Notes and $500,000,000 for the 2021 Notes upon an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of the Notes. The Issuer may from time to time issue additional Notes in accordance with Sections 3.01 and 10.01 of the Original Indenture. Any additional Notes of either series subsequently issued shall not be limited by the aggregate principal amount of this Supplemental Indenture. Each series of Notes issued originally hereunder, together with any additional Notes of such series subsequently issued, shall be treated as a single series for purposes of the Indenture.

          (4) The Notes shall be issued in registered form without coupons.

          (5) The Notes shall not have a sinking fund.

          (6) The principal of the 2016 Notes shall be due on March 15, 2016 and the principal of the 2021 Notes shall be due on March 15, 2021.

          (7) The outstanding principal amount of the 2016 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 4.125% per annum, and the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 5.750% per annum, both from September 15, 2011 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on September 15, 2011, to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined in Section 1.02) for such interest and at the Stated Maturity of the Notes, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Any such interest due on an Interest Payment Date

2

that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee (“Special Record Date”), notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Original Indenture.

          (8) The Notes shall be issued in denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

          (9) The Notes shall be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer on any date (a “Redemption Date”), at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points, with respect to the redemption of the 2016 Notes and 40 basis points with respect to the redemption of the 2021 Notes plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date.

          SECTION 1.02. Definitions. The following defined terms used herein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below. Each capitalized term that is used in this Supplemental Indenture but not defined herein shall have the meaning specified in the Original Indenture.

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

          “Depositary” means The Depository Trust Company or any successor thereto.

3

          “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time.

          “Interest Payment Date” means March 15 and September 15 of each year.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a primary dealer of U.S. government securities in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Issuer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

          “Security Register” means the register, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer in accordance with Section 3.05 of the Original Indenture, in which the Issuer shall, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, provide for the registration of Securities and of registration of transfers and exchanges of Securities.

          “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (a) the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three (3) months before or after the remaining term of the respective series of Notes being redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (b) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the applicable

4

Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the related Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

          SECTION 1.03. Payment of Principal and Interest.

          (1) If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, as applicable, will be made on the next succeeding Business Day. No interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day. “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

          (2) Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on either series of the Notes represented by a Global Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder of such Global Security; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Global Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. If any of either series of the Notes are no longer represented by a Global Security, (i) payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date, if any, (except, in the case of interest, where the Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date) shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent upon surrender of such Notes to the Paying Agent and (ii) payments of interest shall be made, at the option of the Issuer, subject to such surrender where applicable, (A) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (B) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

          (3) The Trustee shall initially serve as the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being the Corporate Trust Office.

          SECTION 1.04. Global Securities. Each series of the Notes shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Notes represented by such Global Security or Global Securities shall not be exchangeable for, and shall not otherwise be issuable as, Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary, unless and until the Notes are exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in definitive form.

5

          Subject to the procedures of the Depositary, a Global Security representing the Notes of either series shall be exchangeable for Notes of such series registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Trustee and the Issuer that it is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as a Depositary for such Global Security and no qualified successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Issuer of such notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no qualified successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after it becomes aware of such cessation, (ii) the Issuer executes and delivers to the Trustee an Issuer Order stating that the Issuer elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary, or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for the Notes it represents, as provided in the Original Indenture.

          SECTION 1.05. Redemption.

          (1) The Issuer shall mail notice of any redemption pursuant to Section 1.01(9) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Redemption Price with respect to the foregoing redemption no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining said Redemption Price

          (2) On the Redemption Date, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest.

          (3) Section 12.03 (Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed) of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     If less than all the 4.125% Senior Notes due 2016 and/or the 5.750% Senior Notes due 2021 (together, the “Notes”) are to be redeemed, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Notes of a denomination larger than $2,000; provided, however, that Notes registered in the name of the Issuer shall be excluded from any such selection for redemption until all Notes being redeemed and that are not so registered shall have been previously selected for redemption.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

     For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Notes redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Notes which has been or is to be redeemed.

          SECTION 1.06. Additional Covenants. The following shall be additional covenants to the covenants set forth in the Original Indenture for the benefit of the Notes only and shall be effective only so long as the Notes are Outstanding:

          (1) Limitation on Liens. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur or suffer to exist any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien (an “Initial Lien”), securing Indebtedness upon any Capital Stock of any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case whether owned at the date of the original issuance of the Notes or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom unless it has made or will make effective provision whereby the Outstanding Notes will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary secured by such Lien. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

          “Permitted Lien” means a Lien on the Capital Stock of a Significant Subsidiary to secure Indebtedness incurred to finance the purchase price of such Capital Stock; provided that any such Lien may not extend to any other property of the Issuer or any other Subsidiary of the Issuer; and provided further that such Indebtedness matures within 180 days from the date such Indebtedness was incurred.

          (2) Limitation on Dispositions of Significant Subsidiaries. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, and will not permit any Significant Subsidiary to issue, any Capital Stock of any Significant Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, (a) the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, and any Significant Subsidiary may issue, any such Capital Stock to any Subsidiary of the Issuer, (b) any Subsidiary of the Issuer may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, and any Significant Subsidiary may issue, any such securities to the Issuer or another Subsidiary of the Issuer, (c) the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, and any Significant Subsidiary may issue, any such Capital Stock if the consideration received is at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors acting in good faith) of such Capital Stock, and (d) the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, and any Significant Subsidiary may issue, any such securities if required by law or any regulation or order of any

7

governmental or regulatory authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may merge or consolidate any of its Significant Subsidiaries into or with another one of its Significant Subsidiaries and may otherwise convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets pursuant to Article NINE of the Original Indenture.

          SECTION 1.07. Early Redemption for Tax Reasons.

          (a) The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to the registered address of each Holder or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, if:

          (i) on the occasion of the next payment due under the Notes, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 1.08) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined in Section 1.08), or any change in the official application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of the Notes (a “Change in Law”); and

          (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it;

          provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.

          (b) Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel relating to a Change in Law (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) and an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred. Notes redeemed pursuant to this Section 1.07 will be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption and all Additional Amounts due on the date of redemption.

          SECTION 1.08. Additional Amounts. With respect to any payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer or a Guarantor in respect of the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes, as applicable, the Issuer or such Guarantor will make all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest (whether on scheduled payment dates or upon acceleration) and the Redemption Price, if any, payable in respect of any Note without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, import, assessment or governmental charge (including penalties, interest and

8

other liabilities related thereto (“Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the jurisdiction in which the Issuer or such Guarantor is organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein and any jurisdiction through which any payment is made on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (“Taxing Jurisdiction”), upon or as a result of such payments, unless required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

          To the extent that any such Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Issuer or such Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) in order that every net amount received by each holder (including Additional Amounts), after withholding for or on account of such Taxes imposed upon or as a result of such payment, will not be less than the amount provided for in the Notes to be then due and payable; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note:

          (a) to the extent that such Taxes would not have been so imposed, levied or assessed but for the existence of some connection between such Holder or beneficial owner of such Note and the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes other than the mere holding or enforcement of such Note or receipt of payments thereunder; or

          (b) to the extent that such Taxes would not have been so imposed, levied or assessed but for the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note upon reasonable request by the Issuer (provided pursuant to Section 1.06 of the Original Indenture) to make a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled ; or

          (c) presented for payment (when the Notes are in the form of definitive Notes) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of the Note is duly provided for and notice is given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Note on any date during such 30-day period; or

          (d) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to or for an individual and is required to be made pursuant to Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or

          (e) presented for payment (when the Notes are in the form of definitive Notes) by or on behalf of the Holder of such Note to any Paying Agent if such withholding or deduction of such Taxes could have been avoided by presenting such Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or

          (f) with respect to any United States withholding taxes, so long as the Issuer or such Guarantors (pursuant to Section 1.06 of the Original Indenture) provides

9

notice regarding potential United States withholding taxes and requests Holders and beneficial owners to provide applicable U.S. tax forms; or

          (g) any combination of the above.

          As used herein and for purposes of the Indenture and the Notes, any reference to the principal of and interest on the Notes and the Redemption Price, if any, shall be deemed to include a reference to any related Additional Amounts payable in respect of such amounts. The Issuer will also pay any stamp, registration, excise or property taxes and any other similar levies imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of any of the Notes, the Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to therein.

          SECTION 1.09. Events of Default. Section 6.01 of the Original Indenture setting forth the “Events of Default” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety for the benefit of the Notes only as follows:

          “Event of Default,” whenever used herein with respect to the Notes of each series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be affected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

     (1) a default in payment of interest (including Additional Amounts) upon any Note of such series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

     (2) a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Note of such series at its Maturity; or

     (3) a default in the performance, or breach, of any other covenant of the Issuer or any Guarantor (other than a covenant a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has been expressly included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of Securities other than the Notes of such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer or such Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Issuer or such Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

     (4) a default under any Indebtedness by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries that results in acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness, or failure to pay any such Indebtedness at maturity, in an aggregate amount greater than $30.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at

10

the time, provided that the cure of such default shall remedy such Event of Default under this Section 6.01(4); or

     (5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or appointing a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of their property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

     (6) the commencement by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action, or the taking of any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or

     (7) any Guarantee with respect to the Notes of such series shall for any reason cease to be, or shall for any reason be asserted in writing by any Guarantor not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as contemplated by the Indenture and any such Guarantee.

          SECTION 1.10. Notice of Defaults.

          Section 7.02 (Notice of Defaults) of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety for the benefit of the Notes only as follows:

11

premium, if any, or interest on any such Note or in the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation installment with respect to such Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of such Notes; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.01(3) with respect to such Notes, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Notes.

          SECTION 1.11. Legal Defeasance and Discharge and Covenant Defeasance. Section 5.03 and Section 5.04 of the Original Indenture do hereby apply to all of the outstanding Notes; provided, that, solely with respect to the Notes, the reference to Section 6.01(4) in Section 5.04 shall be amended to be a reference to Section 6.01(3) and provided, further, that clause (4) of Section 6.01, as such Section 6.01 shall have been amended by this Supplemental Indenture, shall be subject to Covenant Defeasance under Section 5.04 of the Original Indenture.

WILLIS GROUP HOLDINGS PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

4.125% Senior Note due 2016

          This global security certificate represents one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2011 (herein called the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2011 (herein called the “First Supplemental Indenture”) (such Original Indenture, together with the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Willis Netherlands Holdings B.V., Willis Investment UK Holdings Limited, TA I Limited, Trinity Acquisition plc, Willis Group Limited and Willis North America Inc. (each, a “Guarantor,” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof (herein called the “Notes”).

          The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to the registered address of each Holder or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, if:

          (i) on the occasion of the next payment due under the Notes, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the Taxing Jurisdiction (defined below), or any change in the official application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of the Notes (a “Change in Law”); and

          (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.

          Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel relating to a Change in Law (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) and an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have

occurred. Notes redeemed pursuant to this provision will be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption and all Additional Amounts due on the date of redemption.

          With respect to any payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer or a Guarantor in respect of the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes, as applicable, the Issuer or such Guarantor will make all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest (whether on scheduled payment dates or upon acceleration) and the Redemption Price, if any, payable in respect of any Note without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, import, assessment or governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto (“Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the jurisdiction in which the Issuer or such Guarantor is organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein and any jurisdiction through which any payment is made on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (“Taxing Jurisdiction”), upon or as a result of such payments, unless required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

          To the extent that any such Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Issuer or such Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) in order that every net amount received by each holder (including Additional Amounts), after withholding for or on account of such Taxes imposed upon or as a result of such payment, will not be less than the amount provided for in the Notes to be then due and payable; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note:

          (a) to the extent that such Taxes would not have been so imposed, levied or assessed but for the existence of some connection between such Holder or beneficial owner of such Note and the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes other than the mere holding or enforcement of such Note or receipt of payments thereunder; or

          (b) to the extent that such Taxes would not have been so imposed, levied or assessed but for the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note upon reasonable request by the Issuer (provided pursuant to the applicable notice provision) to make a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled ; or

          (c) presented for payment (when the Notes are in the form of definitive Notes) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of the Note is duly provided for and notice is given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Note on any date during such 30-day period; or

2

          (d) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to or for an individual and is required to be made pursuant to Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or

          (e) presented for payment (when the Notes are in the form of definitive Notes) by or on behalf of the Holder of such Note to any Paying Agent if such withholding or deduction of such Taxes could have been avoided by presenting such Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or

          (f) with respect to any United States withholding taxes, so long as the Issuer or such Guarantors (pursuant to the applicable notice provision) provides notice regarding potential United States withholding taxes and requests Holders and beneficial owners to provide applicable U.S. tax forms; or

          (g) any combination of the above.

          As used herein and for purposes of this Note, any reference to the principal of and interest on the Notes and the Redemption Price, if any, shall be deemed to include a reference to any related Additional Amounts payable in respect of such amounts. The Issuer will also pay any stamp, registration, excise or property taxes and any other similar levies imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of any of the Notes, the Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to therein.

          The Issuer may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes under the Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any additional Notes so issued will have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and the issue price and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue and the initial Interest Payment Date), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Notes previously issued, and such additional Notes will form a single series with the previously issued Notes, including for voting purposes.

          No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice given as provided in the Indenture, as a whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at the election of the Issuer, at the Redemption Price, which shall be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date.

3

          In the case of any such redemption, the Issuer will also pay accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.

          The definitions of certain terms used in the paragraph above are listed below.

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

          “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a primary dealer of U.S. government securities in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Issuer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

          “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date: (a) the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields

4

on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (b) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

          In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

          The Issuer shall mail notice of redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed, all as provided in the Indenture.

          The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire Indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

          If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of not less than a

5

majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof (or premium, if any) or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

          The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

          No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

          Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to Section 3.07 of the Original Indenture), whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

WILLIS GROUP HOLDINGS PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

5.750% Senior Note due 2021

          This global security certificate represents one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2011, (herein called the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2011 (herein called the “First Supplemental Indenture”) (such Original Indenture, together with the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Willis Netherlands Holdings B.V., Willis Investment UK Holdings Limited, TA I Limited, Trinity Acquisition plc, Willis Group Limited and Willis North America Inc. (each, a “Guarantor,” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof (herein called the “Notes”).

          The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to the registered address of each Holder or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, if:

          (i) on the occasion of the next payment due under the Notes, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the Taxing Jurisdiction (defined below), or any change in the official application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of the Notes (a “Change in Law”); and

          (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.

          Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel relating to a Change in Law (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) and an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have

occurred. Notes redeemed pursuant to this provision will be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption and all Additional Amounts due on the date of redemption.

          With respect to any payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer or a Guarantor in respect of the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes, as applicable, the Issuer or such Guarantor will make all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest (whether on scheduled payment dates or upon acceleration) and the Redemption Price, if any, payable in respect of any Note without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, import, assessment or governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto (“Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the jurisdiction in which the Issuer or such Guarantor is organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein and any jurisdiction through which any payment is made on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (“Taxing Jurisdiction”), upon or as a result of such payments, unless required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

          To the extent that any such Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Issuer or such Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) in order that every net amount received by each holder (including Additional Amounts), after withholding for or on account of such Taxes imposed upon or as a result of such payment, will not be less than the amount provided for in the Notes to be then due and payable; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note:

          (a) to the extent that such Taxes would not have been so imposed, levied or assessed but for the existence of some connection between such Holder or beneficial owner of such Note and the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes other than the mere holding or enforcement of such Note or receipt of payments thereunder; or

          (b) to the extent that such Taxes would not have been so imposed, levied or assessed but for the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note upon reasonable request by the Issuer (provided pursuant to the applicable notice provision) to make a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled ; or

          (c) presented for payment (when the Notes are in the form of definitive Notes) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of the Note is duly provided for and notice is given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Note on any date during such 30-day period; or

12

          (d) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to or for an individual and is required to be made pursuant to Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or

          (e) presented for payment (when the Notes are in the form of definitive Notes) by or on behalf of the Holder of such Note to any Paying Agent if such withholding or deduction of such Taxes could have been avoided by presenting such Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or

          (f) with respect to any United States withholding taxes, so long as the Issuer or such Guarantors (pursuant to the applicable notice provision) provides notice regarding potential United States withholding taxes and requests Holders and beneficial owners to provide applicable U.S. tax forms; or

          (g) any combination of the above.

          As used herein and for purposes of this Note, any reference to the principal of and interest on the Notes and the Redemption Price, if any, shall be deemed to include a reference to any related Additional Amounts payable in respect of such amounts. The Issuer will also pay any stamp, registration, excise or property taxes and any other similar levies imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of any of the Notes, the Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to therein.

          The Issuer may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes under the Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any additional Notes so issued will have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and the issue price and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue and the initial Interest Payment Date), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Notes previously issued, and such additional Notes will form a single series with the previously issued Notes, including for voting purposes.

          No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice given as provided in the Indenture, as a whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at the election of the Issuer, at the Redemption Price, which shall be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date.

          The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of Delaware, the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

3.	QUALIFICATIONS:
	This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:
3.1	In the English case of R (on the application of Mercury Tax Ltd) v Revenue and Customs Commissioners [2008] EWHC 2721, Underhill J. made certain obiter dicta to the effect that the practice of signing a signature page taken from a draft version of a document, and subsequently attaching the signature page to the final version of that document, might cause

the document to be invalidly executed, notwithstanding that the attaching of the signature page to the final version of the document was authorised by the signatory. An Irish court is not bound to follow English judgments, and dicta of the English courts do not have persuasive authority in Ireland. Nevertheless, if the signature page to any Document signed by the Company was taken from a draft version of the relevant Document and was attached to the final version of such Document after being signed by the Company, it is possible that an Irish court might hold that such Document was invalidly executed by the Company.

3.2	This opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and does not extend to, and is not to be read as extending by implication to, any other matter. It is only for the use of the Company and except as provided below it may not be relied upon by any other person or used for any other purpose. We assume no obligation to update the opinions set forth in this letter.
4	OPINION
	On the basis and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out above, we are of the opinion that:
4.1	the Company is a public limited company duly organised and validly existing under the laws of Ireland;
4.2	the Company had (at the time of execution and delivery) and has all the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Documents and has all the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Notes to be issued;
4.3	the Documents have been duly authorised, executed and delivered by the Company; and
4.4	the Notes have been duly authorised by the Company for offer, sale, issuance and delivery pursuant to the Documents and have been duly executed and delivered by it.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the references to our firm under the heading: “LEGAL OPINIONS” in the Prospectus Supplement. In addition we consent to the reliance by Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as to matters of Irish law upon this opinion in connection with opinions to be rendered by them on the date hereof. Except as stated above, without prior written consent, this opinion may not be furnished or quoted to, or relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose.

Yours faithfully,

Re: Willis Netherlands Holdings B.V.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

You have requested us to render an opinion on matters of Dutch law in relation to Willis Netherlands Holdings B.V., a private limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands, having its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with address Hoogoorddreef 60, 1101 BE Amsterdam, The Netherlands, registered with the trade register under number 34367289 (the “Company”), in connection with the indenture, dated March 17, 2011, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated March 17, 2011, both among Willis Group Holdings Public Limited Company, as issuer of the relevant securities, the Company and various other entities, as the guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon as the Trustee (the “Indenture”).

Scope of Opinion

This opinion is given only with respect to Dutch law in force at the date of this opinion letter as applied by the Dutch courts. No opinion is expressed or implied as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Documents Examined

For the purposes of rendering this opinion, we have examined copies of the following documents:

(a)	the Indenture, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 1, and which is expressed to have been executed on behalf of the Company in Amsterdam, the Netherlands by Mr. Adriaan Cornelis Konijnendijk, acting upon a power of attorney;
(b)	the resolution in writing by the board of managing directors of the Company, dated March 14, 2011, in relation to the Indenture of which a copy is attached hereto as Schedule 2 (the “Board Resolution”) containing among others a power of attorney granted to Mr. Adriaan Cornelis Konijnendijk, to individually execute the Indenture and to do all such acts as may be ancillary thereto on behalf of the Company (the “Power of Attorney”);
(c)	the resolution in writing by the general meeting of shareholders of the Company, dated March 14, 2011 in relation to the Indenture, of which a copy is attached hereto as Schedule 3 (the “Shareholder’s Resolution”);
(d)	the deed of incorporation of the Company, executed on November 27, 2009 before Tjien Hauw Liem, Esq., civil law notary officiating in Amsterdam (the “Incorporation Deed”);
(e)	the excerpt dated March 17, 2011 in relation to the registration of the Company at the trade register in Amsterdam (the “Trade Register”) under file number 34367289 (the “Excerpt”);
(f)	the Shareholder Register of the Company (the “Shareholder Register”).

Assumptions

For the purpose of rendering this opinion we have assumed:

(i)	that (a) the Incorporation Deed is a valid notarial deed (notariële akte) and that the contents thereof are correct and complete and (b) there were no defects in the incorporation of the Company (not appearing on the face of the Incorporation Deed) on the basis of which a court might dissolve the Company;
(ii)	that the articles of association of the Company as included in the Incorporation Deed (the “Articles”) are the articles of association of the Company as in force on the date hereof (although not constituting conclusive evidence thereof, our assumption is supported by the contents of the Excerpt);
(iii)	that the information contained in the Excerpt, the Shareholder Register, the Board Resolution and the Shareholder’s Resolution is complete, true and correct as of the date hereof;
(iv)	without independent investigation, the accuracy of the statements made (whether orally or in writing) by the officials of (i) the Trade Register, (ii) the civil registrar (civiele griffie) of the district court (arrondissementsrechtbank) of Amsterdam and (iii) the office of the bankruptcy registrar (faillissementsgriffie) of the district court of Amsterdam;
(v)	the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the genuineness of all signatures on the original documents, and that the signatures appearing on these documents are the signatures of the persons purporting to have signed such documents;
(vi)	the legal capacity (handelingsbekwaamheid) of all individuals who have signed the Indenture, the Board Resolution and the Shareholder’s Resolution or have given or will give confirmations on which we rely;
(vii)	the due incorporation, valid existence and good standing -where such concept is relevant- and the corporate power and authority of, the due authorization and execution of the Indenture by,

each of the parties thereto, other than the Company, under any applicable law and the due delivery of the Indenture, other than by the Company, under any applicable law in which such concept is relevant;

(viii)	the due compliance with all matters of, and the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Indenture under any applicable law, other than Dutch law, and in any jurisdiction, other than the Netherlands, in which any obligation under the Indenture is to be performed;
(ix)	that since the Incorporation Deed no deeds of merger (fusie) or demerger (splitsing) to which the Company is party have been executed before a civil law notary; that the Company has not been dissolved (ontbonden) granted a moratorium of payment (surseance van betaling verleend) or declared bankrupt (failliet verklaard). In this respect we inform you that the office of the bankruptcy registrar of the court of Amsterdam has confirmed to us by telephone at the date hereof that on or prior to the date hereof, the Company has not been declared bankrupt and has not been granted a moratorium of payments and that no petition has been presented, nor an order made by a court, for the bankruptcy or moratorium of payments of the Company. Although not constituting conclusive evidence thereof, our assumption is supported by (i) the contents of the Excerpt and (ii) information obtained by telephone today from the office of the bankruptcy registrar of the court of Amsterdam. In connection herewith, we note, however, that it is possible that after our telephone call a petition is made to the office of the bankruptcy registrar of the court of Amsterdam to have the Company declared bankrupt or to grant a moratorium of payments. Such bankruptcy or moratorium of payments would have retroactive effect from 00.00 hours of this date. The Trade Register has confirmed to us that on or prior to the date hereof, (a) the Company has not filed a resolution for its voluntary liquidation (vrijwillige liquidatie) and (b) that the Trade Register is not itself taking steps to have the Company dissolved. We have not performed any further investigation in this respect;
(x)	that the Company has not installed a works council (ondernemingsraad) within the meaning of the Dutch Works Council Act (Wet op de ondernemingsraden);
(xi)	that the Indenture constitutes legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of all parties thereto, under the applicable laws of New York and /or any other laws to which the parties are subject, other than the laws of the Netherlands;
(xii)	that the Board Resolution and the Shareholder’s Resolution have not been revoked or amended and are in full force and effect without modification as per the date hereof.
(xiii)	that the Company derives a benefit from entering into the Indenture, and that the entering into the Indenture is in the corporate interest of the Company which assumption — although not constituting conclusive evidence — is supported by a statement in the Board Resolution.

We have understood that the Indenture is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, or in any event by laws other than the laws of the Netherlands. We express no opinion as to the validity of the Indenture under the laws of the State of New York, and any laws (including the laws of the European Union) other than the laws of the Netherlands, in force at the date hereof as applied and interpreted according to present duly published case law of the Dutch courts, administrative rulings and authoritative literature and no opinion is given that the future or continued performance of any of the Company’s obligations or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture will not contravene such laws, application or interpretation. We do not give any opinion on any matters of fact, tax law, anti-trust law, treaties or international law, including without limitation the law of the European Union, unless implemented in Dutch law.

We have further relied on the statements made by the board of managing directors of the Company in the Board Resolution and the statements made by the shareholder of the Company in the Shareholder’s Resolution and we have assumed without independent investigation, except as indicated otherwise

herein, that such statements are correct and true.

Terms and expressions of law and of legal concepts as used in this opinion have the meaning in this opinion attributed to them under the Dutch law and this opinion should be read and understood accordingly. This opinion may, therefore, only be relied upon under the express condition that any issues of interpretation or liability arising thereunder will be governed by Dutch law and exclusively be brought before a Dutch court.

We have not been concerned with investigating or verifying the accuracy of any facts, representations or warranties set out in any of the documents reviewed by us for the purpose of rendering this opinion, with the exception of those matters on which we specifically and expressly give our opinion. To the extent that the facts stated in any of the documents listed above (or orally confirmed) are relevant to the contents of this opinion, we have assumed, that such facts, representations and warranties are correct, save to those matters on which we specifically and expressly give our opinion.

Opinion

Based upon the foregoing (including the assumptions set forth above) and subject to the qualifications listed herein and subject to any facts, circumstances, events or documents not disclosed to us in the course of our examination referred to above, we are, at the date hereof, of the opinion that:

I. Corporate Status of the Company

The Company is duly incorporated as a private limited liability company (Besloten Vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) and is validly existing and since the Company has not been dissolved, is not in liquidation, has not merged nor demerged as a result of which the Company ceased to exist, has not been declared bankrupt and has not been granted suspension of payments, it may be considered in good standing (an expression, however, which has no recognized meaning under Netherlands law).

II. Corporate capacity / Corporate actions

The Company has the necessary corporate capacity to enter into and perform the Indenture, to which it is a party, and has taken all necessary corporate actions to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture.

III. Due execution

In accordance with article 19.1 of the Articles, the board of managing directors of the Company shall represent the Company. The authority to represent the Company shall also be vested in a managing director A and a managing director B acting jointly.

According to the Excerpt the board of managing directors of the Company consists of Adriaan Cornelis Konijnendijk (managing director A), Dennis Beets (managing director A), Paulus Cornelis Gerhardus van Duuren (managing director A), Charles William Mooney (managing director B) and Sarah Joan Turvill (managing director B) (jointly the “Board Members”).

Since the Board Resolution, which contains the Power of Attorney is expressed to have been executed by all of the Board Members, the Power of Attorney has been validly issued on behalf of the Company.

Thus, the execution of the Indenture on behalf of the Company by means of the signature of Mr. Konijnendijk acting upon the Power of Attorney constitutes a due execution of the Indenture on behalf of the Company.

Qualifications

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

(A) The opinions expressed herein may be affected or limited by (a) the general defenses available to obligors under Dutch law in respect of the validity and enforceability of agreements and (b) the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy (faillissement), insolvency, fraudulent conveyance (actio pauliana), reorganisation, moratorium of payment (surseance van betaling) and other or similar laws of general application now or hereafter in effect, relating to or affecting the enforcement or protection of creditors’ rights.

(B) Under Dutch law, to the extent it applies, the rights and obligations of the parties to the Indenture are subject to (a) the principle of reasonableness and fairness (redelijkheid en billijkheid), which under Dutch law governs the relationship between the parties to a contract and which, in certain circumstances, may limit or preclude the reliance on, or enforcement of, contractual terms and provisions, and (b) the general defenses available to debtors under Dutch law in respect of the validity, binding effect and enforceability of an agreement. In particular, an agreement may be voided by the courts of the Netherlands if it was made through undue influence (misbruik van omstandigheden), fraud (bedrog), threat (bedreiging) or error (dwaling) of any of the parties to such agreement.

(C) In order to obtain a judgment which is enforceable against the Company in the Netherlands, a claim should be brought against the Company before the competent courts of the Netherlands.

In the absence of an applicable convention between the United States of America and the Netherlands providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, a judgment rendered by a court in the United States of America against the Company will not be automatically recognized and enforced by the courts of the Netherlands. The final judgment against the Company obtained in a New York court may be submitted to the courts of the Netherlands and may be considered by the court as evidence on how New York law should be applied in the relevant situation. The courts of the Netherlands are, however, not obliged to follow such final judgment.

The enforcement in Dutch courts is subject to Dutch procedural law. When applying the law of any jurisdiction (including the Netherlands), the courts in the Netherlands may:

– give effect to mandatory rules of the law of another jurisdiction with which the situation has a close connection, if and to the extent that, under the laws of the latter jurisdiction, those rules must be applied irrespective of the chosen law;

– apply the laws of the Netherlands in a situation where they are mandatory irrespective of the law otherwise applicable to the Indenture; and

– refuse to apply the law of any jurisdiction if such application is manifestly incompatible with the principles of good morals (goede zeden) or public policy (openbare orde) of the Netherlands.

(D) Under the Dutch rules of corporate benefit, financial assistance and fraudulent preference, the validity of a legal act (such as the execution of an agreement or the giving of guarantees or security) performed by the Company may be contested. In particular:

– The validity of a transaction may under Dutch law furthermore be affected by the ultra vires (doeloverschrijding) provisions of article 2:7 of the Dutch Civil Code. These provisions give legal entities the right to invoke the nullity of a transaction if such transaction entered into by such entity cannot serve to realize the objects of such entity and the other parties to such transaction knew, or may not have been unaware, that such objects and purposes have

been exceeded. It is important to take into account (a) the text of the objects clause in the articles of association of the entity, and (b) whether the entity derives certain commercial benefit from the transaction;

– it is prohibited for the Company and any of its Dutch and foreign subsidiaries to give guarantees or security or to act as joint and several debtor or to make loans (unless in case of a private company with limited liability the loans do not exceed the amount of the freely distributable reserves of the company and the making of loans is permitted under its articles of association) for the purpose of the subscription or other acquisition by third parties of shares in the Company or of depository receipts issued in exchange for these shares; and;

– if a legal act performed by the Company is prejudicial to the interests of its creditors, the validity of such legal act may in certain circumstances be contested by such creditors or the public receiver in the bankruptcy of the Company.

(E) The Excerpt may not completely and accurately reflect the corporate status and position of the Company insofar as there may be a delay between the taking of a corporate action and the filing of the necessary documentation at the Trade Register and a further delay between such filing and an entry appearing on the file of the Company at the Trade Register.

(F) It should be noted in connection with the opinion under III. that under Dutch law there is no concept of the delivery of documents which determines the validity and/or binding effect of executed documents.

This opinion expresses and describes Dutch legal concepts in English and not in their original Dutch terms; these concepts may not be identical to the concepts described by the English translations; this opinion may therefore be relied upon only on the express condition that it shall be governed by and that all words and expressions used herein shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands.

A copy of this opinion may be appended to the Exhibit 5 opinion given by Weil, Gotshal & Manges dated March 17, 2011 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This opinion is solely rendered by Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V., and Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V., with the exclusion of any of its officers, employees, legal professionals and affiliates, is the sole entity responsible for this opinion. Any liability of Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam N.V. pursuant to this opinion shall be limited to the amount covered by its liability insurance.

In issuing this opinion we do not assume any obligations to notify or to inform you of any developments subsequent to its date might render its contents untrue or inaccurate in whole or in part of such time.

This opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and may not read as extending by implication to any matters not specifically referred to. Nothing in this opinion should be taken as expressing an opinion in respect of any document examined in connection with this opinion except as expressly confirmed herein.
