All covenants and agreements made by the Issuer herein are for the benefit and security of the Holders and the Indenture Trustee (collectively, the “Secured Parties”). The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee has accepted the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which have been and are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto.
All things necessary to make the Notes, whenever the Notes are (or have been) executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and duly issued by the Issuer, the valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with their terms, and to make this Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with its terms, have been done.
GRANTING CLAUSE
The Issuer hereby Grants to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired in, to and under the following property (collectively, the “Trust Estate”):

Litigation Proceeds;
(ii)
(a) 65% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Red Reef, (b) 65% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of OLIPP IV and Blue Heron and (c) the Pledged Irish Profit Participating Note, representing 65% of the Irish Profit Participating Notes (the “Pledged Collateral”);

(iv)
the deposit accounts listed on Schedule 1.01(A) (the “Pledged Deposit Accounts”); and
(v)
all Proceeds (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of and from any of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, (i)the Trust Estate shall not include any Excluded Property and the Grant by the Issuer of its right, title and interest to the Trust Estate and Collateral hereunder shall not include a Grant of any interest in the Excluded Property; and (ii) the Grant by Issuer of its right, title and interest to the Litigation Proceeds shall be subject to any security interest in Life Policies now or hereafter granted to the lenders under the Credit





Facilities and accordingly the security interest in the Litigation Proceeds may constitute a second priority Lien.
Such Grant is made, however, in trust, to secure the Notes equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Note and any other Note by reason of difference in time of issuance or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, and to secure, subject to and in accordance with the priorities set forth herein, the Secured Obligations.
Until payment in full of the Secured Obligations and except to the extent otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Issuer does hereby constitute and irrevocably appoint the Indenture Trustee the true and lawful attorney of the Issuer, with full power (in the name of the Issuer or otherwise), to exercise all rights of the Issuer with respect to the Trust Estate, and to ask, require, demand, receive, settle, compromise, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of any of the Trust Estate, to indorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Indenture Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Indenture and all authority hereby conferred are granted and conferred solely to protect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Trust Estate, and shall not impose any duty upon the Indenture Trustee to exercise any power. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable as one coupled with an interest prior to the payment in full of all the Secured Obligations.
This Indenture shall constitute a security agreement under the laws of the State of New York. In addition to any other rights available under this Indenture or any property included in the Trust Estate, or otherwise available at law or in equity, the Indenture Trustee shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the laws of the State of New York and other applicable law to enforce the security interest granted herein in the manner and at the times specified herein and, in addition, shall have the right, subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or apply any item of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms hereof at public or private sale.
It is expressly agreed that anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer shall remain liable under any instruments or other agreements included in the Trust Estate to perform all the obligations assumed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations or liabilities under such instruments or other agreements by reason of or arising out of this Indenture, nor shall the Indenture Trustee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Issuer under or pursuant to such instruments or other agreements or to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
The Indenture Trustee acknowledges such Grant, accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with the express provisions hereof, and agrees to perform its duties herein pursuant to the express terms hereof.

None of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any other Person shall be obligated to register or otherwise recognize such purported transfer of a Note that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 2.04. Without limiting the express obligations of the Note Registrar and Indenture Trustee otherwise set forth in this Section 2.04, nothing herein shall impose an

22




affirmative duty on the Note Registrar or Indenture Trustee to investigate or make other inquiries as to whether a purported transferee has complied with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.04.
(e)    If a Person is acquiring any Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Note Registrar a certification to the effect that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in this Section 2.04 (and upon receipt, the Note Registrar may conclusively rely upon such certification) and shall have no duty to determine whether the Person acquiring such Note or interest therein is such a fiduciary or agent, or has such discretion or power, as the case may be.
(f)    Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.04, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees (and, to the extent that only a portion of the transferring Holder’s Note Balance is being transferred, to the transferring Holder), one or more new Notes of authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Note Balance of the surrendered Note.
(g)    At the option of any Holder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of a like aggregate Note Balance of the surrendered Notes upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes of a like aggregate Note Balance of the surrendered Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(h)    Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The Note Registrar may require any Holder, among other things, to furnish any appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and to have signatures guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” that is a member or participant in a recognized “signature guarantee program” (e.g., the securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the Stock Exchange Medallion Program or the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program).
(i)    No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

23




(j)    All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures.
(k)    The Note Registrar shall provide to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, upon reasonable prior written request, and at the expense of the Issuer, an updated copy of the Note Register. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to obtain a copy thereof within a reasonable amount of time after receipt of notice by the Note Registrar, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Note Registrar as to the information set forth in the Note Register.
(l)    Neither the Note Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee shall be under any duty to monitor or determine compliance with any federal, state or other securities or tax laws that may be applicable; provided, however, that the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall be under a duty to receive and to examine to determine whether the certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 or the representation letter in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 specifically required by the express terms of this Section 2.04 has been delivered to the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee as a requirement of the registration of a transfer of a Note.
(m)    The Note Registrar shall be entitled to all of the protections, privileges, limitations on liability, rights of reimbursement and indemnities that the Indenture Trustee is entitled to hereunder as fully as if it were the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 2.05.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Note of the same tenor and denomination, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction (including mutilation tantamount to destruction), loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold each of them, and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice received by the Issuer or a Trust Officer that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same tenor and denomination registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.05, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Holder of an amount sufficient to pay or discharge any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses, but no service charge.

24




Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by the Holder thereof, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.05 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
SECTION 2.06.    Holder Lists.
The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders, which list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar. Upon written request of any Holder made for purposes of communicating with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture (which purpose the Note Registrar shall have no duty to determine or inquire about), the Note Registrar shall within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such written request furnish such Holder with a list of the other Holders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request. Every Holder, by receiving such access, agrees with the Note Registrar that the Note Registrar will not have any liability or be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Holder regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
SECTION 2.07.    Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agents of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note (subject to the Record Date and special record date provisions of the Notes) and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agents of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 2.08.    Payments on the Notes.
(a)    With respect to each Payment Date, any interest, payable on the Notes shall be paid to the Person that is the registered Holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date (subject to the special record date provisions of the Notes). Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose. Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on the Notes shall be made by wire transfer to such account as such Holder shall designate by written instruction received by the Indenture Trustee not later than five Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date. Such payments shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

25




(b)    If a Note is issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing after close of business at the office of the Note Registrar where such exchange occurs on any Record Date and ending before the opening of business at such office of the Note Registrar on the related Payment Date, no interest, principal or other amounts will be payable on such Payment Date in respect of such new Note, but will be payable on such Payment Date only in respect of the prior Note to the Person that is the registered Holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date.
(c)    The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay in full all amounts of interest, principal, and if any, premium due on any Payment Date, redemption date, the Maturity Date, or otherwise prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on such date.
(d)    The Indenture Trustee shall pay each Note in full as provided herein on the Maturity Date, in immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Maturity Date (to the extent such amounts are received from the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.08(c)). Such payment to the Holder of each Note shall be made on the Maturity Date of such Note and such Holder shall present the Note promptly thereafter.
The Indenture Trustee is hereby directed to establish and maintain pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.08, a non-interest bearing trust account in the name of the Issuer (such account and any successor account, even if renumbered, the “Payment Account”). All payments to be made on the Notes to or by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall, as applicable, be made into, or out of, the Payment Account. Funds on deposit in the Payment Account will be disbursed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Issuer Order to make payments to the Holders in respect of principal or interest or redemption price or other amounts in respect of the Secured Obligations. The Issuer shall deliver such Issuer Orders to the Indenture Trustee at least one (1) Business Day prior to any payment date. For purposes of causing the application of funds in accordance with this Section 2.08(e), the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any Issuer Order provided by the Issuer with respect to any payments to be made pursuant to this Section, and shall have no duty to independently determine, verify or calculate any information therein, including with respect to the amounts or recipients set forth in or delivered together with any such Issuer Order, except as expressly required hereby. Cash held in the Payment Account shall not be invested. Subject to any applicable abandoned property or escheat law, any money deposited with the Indenture Trustee in trust for the payment of the Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request, and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.
SECTION 2.09.    Compliance with Withholding and Other Requirements.
The Indenture Trustee shall comply with all backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements that it is required to comply with under applicable law (including the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations issued thereunder) in respect of any payment on, or in respect of, the Notes.

26




By acceptance of any Note issued hereunder, unless otherwise prohibited by law, each Holder is deemed to agree to provide to the Issuer or Indenture Trustee any information or certification that may be required under applicable law with respect to withholding, backup withholding or information reporting (including the Noteholder Tax Identification Information, and, to the extent any FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information), and update or replace such form, information or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments to the extent necessary. Failure of a Holder to provide the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer with required tax certificates and information may result in amounts of tax being withheld from the payment to such Holder (without any corresponding gross-up). If the Issuer has knowledge that FATCA Withholding Tax applies, the Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee thereof.
In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (collectively, “Applicable Regulations”), the Indenture Trustee, is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto and each Holder agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee, upon its request from time to time, such identifying information and documentation as may be necessary in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to comply with such Applicable Regulations. It is expressly agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to perform any services hereunder for, on behalf of or for the benefit of, any Person not having furnished such information as the Indenture, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary to comply with the Applicable Regulations.
SECTION 2.10.    Cancellation.
The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Note Registrar for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall, in accordance with an Issuer Order, be promptly canceled by the Note Registrar.
All Notes delivered to the Indenture Trustee for payment shall be forwarded by the Indenture Trustee to the Note Registrar. All such Notes and all Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and disposed of by the Note Registrar in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid in full and have been delivered to the Note Registrar for cancellation.
SECTION 2.11.    Lien of the Indenture.
This Indenture shall evidence a continuing Lien on and security interest in the Trust Estate to secure the Secured Obligations, including the full payment of the principal, interest and other amounts on all the Notes, which shall in all respects be equally and ratably secured hereby without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication and delivery of the Notes.
SECTION 2.12.    Acknowledgment of Trustee.

27




The Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that it holds each item of Collateral within its possession or control on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not hold any item of Collateral through an agent or nominee except as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The Collateral delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Pledge Agreement shall be held by the Indenture Trustee at all times during which such Collateral is in its possession pursuant to the Indenture Trustee’s internal policies and procedures relating to holding property of the type substantially similar to such Collateral.

(x)    the Issuer, any Significant Subsidiary or any Pledged Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(i)    commences a voluntary case;

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar U.S. federal or state law for the relief of debtors (or their foreign equivalents). The term “custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 5.02.    Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01 (f) or (g)) occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer may, and

35




if such notice is given by such Holders such notice shall be given to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, declare that the principal of, and the premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on, all Notes is due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(f) or (g) occurs, the principal of, and the premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on, all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Holders. The Required Holders by written notice to the Indenture Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if such Required Holders determine that the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
SECTION 5.03.    Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, after notice to the Holders and receipt of specific written direction from the Required Holders as to how to proceed, may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Indenture Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Indenture Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.
Following an Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may instruct the Indenture Trustee to deliver a notice (including a “Notice of Exclusive Control”) giving the Indenture Trustee exclusive control over any securities account or deposit account covered by an Account Control Agreement. The Indenture Trustee may give such notice only upon an Event of Default.
SECTION 5.04.    Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Required Holders by written notice to the Indenture Trustee may waive an existing Default or an Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a Default or an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default or an Event of Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default or an Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 8.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default or an Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or an Event of Default or impair any consequent right. Any past Default or an Event of Default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Required Holders.
SECTION 5.05.    Control by Specified Percentage of Holders. The Required Holders (or such other percentage as expressly provided for herein) may direct the time, method

36




and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee. However, the Indenture Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Indenture Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. The Holders understand and agree that in fulfilling its role as Indenture Trustee under any Account Control Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Irish Share Charge and the Pledged Irish Profit Participating Note Assignment, the Indenture Trustee shall act solely in accordance with the written direction of the Required Holders, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.03 and 5.06(a)(ii). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by accepting delivery of a Note or any portion thereof the Holders hereby authorize and direct the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver the Pledge Agreement, in the form presented to it by the Issuer or its purported counsel or other representative on the date hereof. The delivery to the Indenture Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel as described in Section 4.11 with respect to each of the Irish Share Charge, the Pledged Irish Profit Participating Note Assignment, any Deposit Account Control Agreement or any Litigation Proceeds Account Control Agreement or as described in Section 4.13 with respect to any New Issuer Deposit Account Control Agreement shall be deemed to be conclusive authorization by the Holders on which the Indenture Trustee may exclusively rely, and by its receipt of such an Opinion of Counsel the Indenture Trustee shall be fully protected, in executing and delivering each such agreement and any document or instrument contemplated thereby, without any obligation to determine or confirm the advisability or suitability thereof on behalf of the Holders.
SECTION 5.06.    Limitation on Suits. (a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
(i)    the Holder gives the Indenture Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;
(ii)    the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Indenture Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(iii)    such Holder or Holders offer to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; and
(iv)    the Indenture Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity.
(b)    A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
SECTION 5.07.    Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided

37




for in this Indenture or in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 5.08.    Collection Suit by Indenture Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 6.06.
SECTION 5.09.    Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Indenture Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Indenture Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors or its property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.06.
SECTION 5.10.    Priorities. If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 5, it shall pay out such money or property in the following order:
FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.06;
SECOND: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest;
THIRD: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, and premium, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and, if any, premium; and
FOURTH: to the Issuer.
The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 5.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

38




SECTION 5.11.    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer shall not (to the extent it may lawfully do so) 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 (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
ARTICLE 6    

TRUSTEE

(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document to the contrary:
(i)    the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and each Transaction Document to which it is a party and no implied duties, covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or such Transaction Document against the Indenture Trustee (it being agreed that the permissive right of the Indenture Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture or any Transaction Document shall not be construed as a duty); and
(ii)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.

However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(c)    The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;

The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following provisions of this Section 6.02 shall apply notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document to the contrary.
(b)    Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require, at the expense of the Issuer, an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
(c)    The Indenture Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.
(d)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence.

40




(e)    The Indenture Trustee may, at the expense of Issuer, consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture, the Notes, or any other Transaction Documents or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or Opinion of Counsel.
(f)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Required Holders, but the Indenture Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
(g)    The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or any other Transaction Document at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
(h)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Indenture Trustee, including its right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified as provided in Section 6.06, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Indenture Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.
(i)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction of the Required Holders or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes, including, without limitation, any action with respect to the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or the exercising of any power conferred by this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

(l)    In the event the signature of the Indenture Trustee is required in connection with any sale of any portion of the Collateral, the Issuer, or if during or after an Event of Default, the Holders, shall ensure that the language set forth in Exhibit C shall be included in any document where such signature(s) may be required. The failure of such language to be so included shall excuse the Indenture Trustee from being required to join in the execution of such documents, without regard to any consequences that may result therefrom.
(m)    Any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Order.
(n)    As a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may at the expense of the Issuer consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or otherwise if it shall have reasonably determined, on the advice of counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Indenture Trustee for which it has not received adequate indemnity or is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.
(o)    Whenever this Indenture or any other Transaction Document provides that an action may be taken or not taken at the option, election or in the discretion of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to exercise such option, make such election, or exercise such discretion except upon the reasonable written instructions of the Issuer or the Required Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability to any party for carrying out any such direction.
(p)    The permissive rights of the Indenture Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action enumerated in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall not be treated as a duty.
(q)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) shall have no duty or responsibility to perform any calculations for, or make any determinations as to the amounts, times, recipients, or other particulars of, any payments and/or transfers to be made by the Indenture Trustee or any other Person under this Indenture

42




or any other Transaction Document, except as expressly required by the terms of this Indenture.
(r)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of and makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of any provision of this Indenture or for the due execution hereof by the Issuer or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Collateral, and the Indenture Trustee shall in no event assume or incur any liability, duty or obligation to the Issuer, to any Holders, or to any other Person other than as expressly provided for herein.
(s)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document or otherwise.
(t)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document (including, without limitation, the Pledge Agreement and the Irish Share Charge) relating to the conduct, rights, powers, duties obligations or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.02.

By accepting delivery of a Note or any portion thereof, each of the Holders will be deemed to have acknowledged that it has conducted its own thorough investigation and exercised its own due diligence before considering an investment in the Notes, and acknowledged that the decision to purchase a Note or any portion thereof is its own and that it has not and will not rely on the Indenture Trustee for such purpose. The Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility whatsoever as to the advisability of purchasing the Notes or any portion thereof.
(v)    The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.
(w)    If the Indenture Trustee believes inconsistent alternative courses of action are permitted or required by the terms of this Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents, to which the Indenture Trustee is a party, believes that the terms of the Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents, to which the Indenture Trustee is a party are ambiguous, or is unsure as to the application, intent, interpretation or meaning of any provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, the Indenture Trustee after reasonable diligence and consultation with counsel, shall take such action which, in its view, is in the best interest of the Holders and consistent with this Indenture unless it

43




otherwise receives written direction from the Required Holders prior to such action, and notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any Transaction Document, or otherwise, the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for any such action or following such direction.
(x)    The receipt by the Indenture Trustee of any reports, information or other documents that are provided to the Indenture Trustee for purposes of enabling the sending party to comply with its document delivery requirements hereunder shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from any information contained therein, including any other Person’s compliance with any of its covenants, representations or warranties hereunder, unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Indenture.
(y)    The parties hereto hereby agree that to the extent that any security or instrument issued by the Issuer is rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, Wilmington Trust, National Association, whether in its capacity as Indenture Trustee or any other capacity hereunder, shall have no duty or obligation to (i) maintain any password-protected web site within the meaning of 17 CFR 240.17g-5 (a “Site”), or (ii) upload any information required to be maintained on such Site.
(z)    The Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for the performance of any obligations of the Issuer or any other Person, or for the enforceability of the Transaction Documents, the Notes, or any other instruments or other documents executed or delivered in connection herewith (or the suitability or advisability thereof for any particular purpose). The Indenture Trustee may assume performance by all such Persons of their obligations under the Transaction Documents absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Trust Officer to the contrary.
SECTION 6.03.    Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee and its affiliates have engaged, currently are engaged and may in the future engage in financial or other transactions with the Issuer and its affiliates in the Ordinary Course of Business. Any Note Registrar may do the same with like rights.
SECTION 6.04.    Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any guarantee, the Notes, any Security Documents or any other Transaction Documents, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) a Trust Officer shall have received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof from the Issuer or any Holder.

44




SECTION 6.05.    Reserved.
SECTION 6.06.    Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as set forth in a separate instrument. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee, and each of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Person or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of (i) enforcing this Indenture or any other Transaction Document against the Issuer (including this Section 6.06), (ii) indemnifying, defending, holding harmless or otherwise reimbursing any party to any Account Control Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof and (iii) defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Notes or the removal or resignation of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof (such notice, the “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.
To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 6.06, the Indenture Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Indenture Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.
The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Indenture Trustee under applicable law, when the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(f) or Section 5.01(g) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.
No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture 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 repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.

45




The Issuer may assume the defense of such proceeding, with a nationally recognized (or regionally recognized, if local counsel is necessary in such jurisdiction) counsel of its choosing, by delivering written notice of the Issuer’s election to do so to the Indemnified Person (the “Selection Notice”); provided, that, without limiting the generality of subsections (i)-(iii) of this paragraph, such counsel shall not assume the defense of any Indemnified Person if such Indemnified Person objects to the appointment of such counsel within a commercially reasonable time period after its receipt of the Selection Notice. The parties hereto hereby agree that for purposes of the proviso immediately preceding this sentence, a “commercially reasonable time period” shall include a minimum of fifteen (15) business days after the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of the Selection Notice. After delivery of the Selection Notice and the retention of such counsel by the Issuer without objection by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Section 6.06 (the “Retained Counsel”), the Issuer shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Indenture for any fees or expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person with respect to the same proceeding, provided that if (i) the employment of counsel other than the Retained Counsel has been previously authorized by the Issuer in writing with respect to the loss, liability or expense described in the Claim Notice, (ii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Indemnified Person in the conduct of any such defense after providing prior written notice to the Issuer of the Indemnified Person’s reasonable conclusion of a conflict of interest and providing the Issuer a reasonable opportunity, and the Indemnified Person’s reasonable cooperation, to cure such conflict, if practicable, or (iii) the Issuer shall not, in fact, within a commercially reasonable amount of time after its receipt of the Claim Notice, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Person’s counsel shall be borne by the Issuer in accordance with this Section 6.06. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ their own counsel in any proceeding for which a Claim Notice has been received by the Issuer, at the Indemnified Person’s sole cost and expense, in which event the Issuer shall have no further obligation or liability to the Indemnified Person under this Indenture for any fees or expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person with respect to such proceeding. Neither the Issuer nor the Indemnified Person will unreasonably withhold its or their consent to any proposed settlement of a claim for which it may seek indemnity pursuant to Section 6.06, provided, however, that any such consent will be without prejudice to the right of the Indemnified Person to receive indemnification hereunder.
SECTION 6.07.    Replacement of Indenture Trustee. (a) The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Required Holders may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:
(i)    the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.09;
(ii)    the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;
(iii)    a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or
(iv)    the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

46




(b)    If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuer or by the Required Holders and such Required Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.
(c)    A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 6.06.
(d)    If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
(e)    Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 6.08.    Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges with or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee.
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.
SECTION 6.09.    Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.
SECTION 8.04.    Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with an Issuer Order, shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

The Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Indenture Trustee holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees (subject to Section 4.11) to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their respective terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Indenture Trustee to enter into the Security Documents and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance herewith and therewith.

The Issuer hereby covenant (A) to perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents and (B) take any and all commercially reasonable actions (including without limitation the covenants set forth in the Security Documents and in this Article 9) required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Secured Obligations contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the other Security Documents, valid and enforceable, perfected (except as expressly provided herein or therein) security interests in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and subject to no other Liens, in each case, except as expressly permitted herein or therein.

52




such places as may be required by law to preserve and protect fully the rights of the Holders and the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the Security Documents to all property comprising the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, and (ii) the delivery of the certificates, if any, evidencing the certificated securities pledged under the Security Documents, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by undated stock powers or other instruments of transfer executed in blank. The Issuer shall from time to time promptly pay all financing and continuation statement recording and/or filing fees, charges and recording and similar taxes relating to this Indenture, the Security Documents and any amendments hereto or thereto and any other instruments of further assurance required pursuant thereto. The Issuer will not be permitted to take any action, or omit to take any action, which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders except as expressly set forth herein or the Security Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to file or monitor any financing statements (or amendments of financing statements, continuation statements, collateral assignments or any instruments of further assurance).
(b)    If property of a type constituting Collateral is acquired by the Issuer that is not automatically subject to a Lien or perfected security interest under the Security Documents, then the Issuer will, as soon as reasonably practicable after such property’s acquisition and in any event within 10 Business Days, grant Liens on such property in favor of the Indenture Trustee, and deliver certain certificates (including in the case of real property title insurance) and any filings or other documentation in respect thereof as required by this Indenture or the Security Documents and take all necessary steps to perfect the security interest represented by such Liens.
SECTION 9.02.    Release of Collateral. (a) Subject to 8.01 and Section 8.02 hereof, the Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents or as provided hereby.

(1)    to enable the Issuer or any Subsidiary to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral to the extent permitted by this Indenture and each other Security Document; or

53




or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents

SECTION 9.03.    Permitted Releases Not To Impair Lien. The release of any Collateral from the terms hereof and of the Security Documents or the release of, in whole or in part, the Liens created by the Security Documents, will not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral or Liens are released pursuant to the applicable Security Documents and the terms of this Article 9. Each of the Holders acknowledges that a release of Collateral or a Lien in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents and of this Article 9 will not be deemed for any purpose to be in contravention of the terms of this Indenture.
SECTION 9.04.    Suits To Protect the Collateral. Subject to the provisions of Article 6 hereof, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, may take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:
(a)    enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and
(b)    collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Secured Obligations of the Issuer hereunder.
Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall have power (but not the obligation) to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Indenture Trustee, in its sole discretion, may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Lien on the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Indenture Trustee).
SECTION 9.05.    Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Indenture Trustee Under the Security Documents. The Indenture Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 9.06.    Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Indenture Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any

54




consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 9 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer to make any such sale or other transfer.
SECTION 9.07.    Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Indenture Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 9 upon the Issuer with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 9; and if the Indenture Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 9.08.    Release Upon Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations. In the event that the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate (and upon receipt, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely upon such Officers’ Certificate and shall have no duty to make any determination or investigation with respect to the contents thereof) certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes and all other Secured Obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), are paid, or (ii) all the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents have been satisfied and discharged by complying with the provisions of Article 7, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer a notice stating that the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the Security Documents, and upon delivery of such notice, the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Holders and shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.
