Amendments and Waivers

Amendments and Waivers Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Proceeds Loan Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and, subject to certain exceptions, any existing default or compliance with any provision thereof may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes); provided that, if any amendment, waiver or other modification will affect only one series of Notes, only the consent of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series shall be required. However, without the consent of Holders holding not less than 95% of the then outstanding principal amount of Notes, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: (1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver; (2) reduce the stated rate of or change the stated time for payment of interest on any Note; (3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note; (4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed, in each case as described above under “—Optional Redemption”; (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note; (6) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); (7) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes on or after the due dates therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; (8) make any change to the subordination provisions of the Indenture that adversely affects the rights of any Holder; (9) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; (10) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture described under “—Withholding Taxes” that adversely affects the rights of any Holder of such Notes in any material respect or amends the terms of such Notes in a way that would result in a loss of an exemption from any of the Taxes described thereunder or an exemption from any obligation to withhold or deduct Taxes so described thereunder unless the Payor agrees to pay Additional Amounts, if any, in respect thereof; (11) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations (or modify such obligations in any manner adverse to the Holders) under any Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture, as applicable, except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; (12) release the security interest granted for the benefit of the Holders in the Collateral other than pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, any applicable Additional Intercreditor Agreement or as otherwise permitted by the Indenture; or (13) make any change in the amendment and waiver provisions which require each Holder’s consent described in this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the other parties thereto, as applicable, may amend, supplement or otherwise modify the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Proceeds Loan Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement to: (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, error or inconsistency; 258

The Issuer will, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange, to the extent required by the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange, inform the Irish Stock Exchange of any of the foregoing amendments, supplements and waivers and provide, if necessary, a supplement to this prospectus setting forth reasonable details in connection with any such amendments, supplements or waivers. The consent of the Holders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. A consent to any amendment or waiver under the Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment under the Indenture becomes effective, in the case of Holders of Definitive Registered Notes, the Issuer is required to mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders or any defect in the notice will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. In addition, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will deliver notice of any amendment, supplement and waiver to the Companies Announcement Office in Dublin. 259
