Notes of the same series duly issued hereunder.

On the prompt written request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Notes held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures and, upon written request of the Company, deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company.

All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Notes by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities.

SECTION 3.01. Optional Redemption by the Company.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 3.04, the Notes are not redeemable prior to the earlier of the date of the consummation of the Second Merger and October 15, 2021 (the “No Call Date”). After the No Call Date, the Company may redeem each series of Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at any time prior to (i) with respect to the 2022 Notes, September 15, 2022 (the “2022 Notes Par Call Date”), (ii) with respect to the 2025 Notes, September 1, 2025 (the “2025 Notes Par Call Date”), (iii) with respect to the 2027 Notes, August 15, 2027 (the “2027 Notes Par Call Date”), (iv) with respect to the 2030 Notes, August 1, 2030 (the “2030 Notes Par Call Date”), (v) with respect to the 2040 Notes, May 15, 2040 (the “2040 Notes Par Call Date”) and (vi) with respect to the 2050 Notes, June 1, 2050 (the “2050 Notes Par Call Date”), at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of the following amounts:

(1)

100% of the principal amount of the Notes of the applicable series to be redeemed on that Redemption Date; and

(2)

the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date as calculated by the Company, excluding accrued and unpaid interest on the Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis based at the Treasury Rate, plus (i) 10 basis points in the case of the 2022 Notes, (ii) 15 basis points in the case of the 2025 Notes, (iii) 25 basis points in the case of the 2027 Notes, (iv) 25 basis points in the case of the 2030 Notes, (v) 30 basis points in the case of the 2040 Notes and (vi) 30 basis points in the case of the 2050 Notes, as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the holders of the Notes as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date (and any such interest shall not be deemed accrued and unpaid for purposes of payment in respect of any redemption or repurchase). The Redemption Price shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 3.02. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a) This Section 3.02 shall apply solely from and after consummation of the Merger. Following the Merger, upon a Change of Control Triggering Event in respect of a series of Notes, unless the Company has previously exercised any right to redeem the Notes of such series pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, each Noteholder of such series will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes of such series pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Noteholder (with a written copy of such notice to the Trustee on the same day as sent to the holders or at least five (5) Business Days prior to when notice is due to holders if the Company requests the Trustee to send out such notice) describing the terms of the Change of Control Offer and offering to repurchase the Notes on the

date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required herein and described in such notice. The notice, if given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being completed on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of such Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue of compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(b) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes an offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to the date of purchase, in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all the Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all such Notes or portions of such Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of such Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each holder of such Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written request by the Company, shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder of such Notes a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of such Notes surrendered by such holder, if any, in denominations as set forth in this Indenture.

SECTION 3.03. Election to Redeem; Notice of Redemption.

(a) In case the Company shall desire to redeem all or a portion, as the case may be, of the Notes of any series pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes of such series to be redeemed in the manner provided in Section 14.03(b) a notice of such redemption not less than 15 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series unless a shorter period is specified in the Notes to be redeemed (with notice given to the Trustee of such redemption no later than five (5) Business Days prior to when notice is due to holders), and will give written notice to the Trustee of such redemption at least five days prior to when such notice is sent to the holders of the Notes (unless otherwise agreed by the Trustee). Failure to duly give such notice to the holder of any Note of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Notes of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Notes no later than five (5) Business Days prior to when any notice of redemption is due to holders, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with any applicable restriction.

(b) Each notice of redemption shall specify and state:

(1) the Redemption Date;

(2) the Redemption Price at which Notes of that series are to be redeemed;

(3) that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Notes;

(4) that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that from and after such date interest will cease to accrue;

(5) if less than all of the Outstanding Notes of a particular series are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

(6) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Note shall state (i) the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed by CUSIP numbers, and (ii) that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued;

(7) CUSIP numbers or Identifying Numbers, if any, of the Notes to be redeemed;

(8) a description of conditions on such redemption (if any); and

(9) such other provisions as may be required in respect of the terms of a particular series of the Notes.

(c) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, upon receipt of such notice by the Trustee, the Trustee shall select, in accordance with the rules of the Depositary, in the case of Global Notes, or by lot or in such other manner the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate in the case of any certificated Notes, the Notes (or portions thereof) of such series to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the CUSIP numbers or Identifying Numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part. No Note of a denomination of $2,000 shall be redeemed in part and Notes may redeemed in part only in integral multiples of $1,000.

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Section, the selection of the Notes, or portions thereof, that are represented by a Global Note or that are held by or on behalf of a Depositary, in the case of any partial redemption, shall also be made in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of such Depositary and neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any liability or responsibility with respect thereto.

(d) The election of the Company to redeem any Notes of any series pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. The Company may, if and whenever

it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee to call all or any part of the Notes of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee, as the case may be, such Note Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 3.04. Special Mandatory Redemption.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Company shall redeem all outstanding Notes at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the date set forth in clause (b) below.

(b) If a Special Mandatory Redemption Event has occurred, the Company will promptly (but in no event later than five Business Days following the occurrence of such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) provide written notice to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deliver such notice to each registered Holder of such Notes five Business Days following receipt of such notice from the Company which notice shall specify the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, such Notes will cease to bear interest and all rights of the holders under such Notes shall terminate (other than in respect of the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date). The Escrow Agent may release the Escrowed Property for the purpose of funding the Special Mandatory Redemption Price to the holders of the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Company certifying as to such matters. At or prior to 10:00 am, New York City time, on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent, or the Trustee, funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the Notes. Upon the occurrence of the closing of the Merger, the foregoing provisions regarding the Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply.

SECTION 3.05. Payment Upon Redemption.

(a) Prior to 10:00 am on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee for the Notes to be redeemed or with a Paying Agent for such Notes (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent for such Notes, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.03(b)) an amount of money in the currency or currency unit in which the Notes of such series are payable sufficient to pay the principal amount of (and premium, if any, thereon), and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.

(b) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as provided in Section 3.03 or 3.04, the Notes or portions of Notes of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price or Special Mandatory Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Notes or portions of Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price or Special Mandatory Redemption Price and accrued interest with respect to any such Note or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, such Notes shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable Redemption Price or Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the Regular Record Date pursuant to Section 2.01). If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date or Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Note.

(c) Upon presentation and surrender of any Note of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of such Note, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denominations as requested by such holder, of the same series and having the same terms and provisions and in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so presented and surrendered; provided, however, that if a Global Note is so presented and surrendered, such new Note so issued shall be a new Global Note in a denomination equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Note so surrendered.

SECTION 3.06. No Redemption at the Option of Holders; No Sinking Fund.

The Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of any holder thereof. The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Company agrees, for the benefit of each particular series of the Notes, that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid (in the currency or currency unit in which the Notes of such series are payable) the principal of and premium, if any, and the interest on that series of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes of such series and this Indenture.

SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

So long as any series of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, with respect to

each such series and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (a) Notes of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, (b) Notes of that series may be presented and surrendered as hereinabove authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes of that series and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President and delivered to the trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them.

If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands.

SECTION 4.03. Paying Agents.

(a) The Company may appoint one or more Paying Agents for the Notes. The Company may change any Paying Agent without prior notice to any holder of the Notes. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall, to the extent that it is capable, act as such. The Company or any of its domestic Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent.

(b) If the Company shall appoint one or more Paying Agents for all or any series of the Notes, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section:

(1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Notes) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;

(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Notes) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes of that series when the same shall be due and payable;

(3) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and

(4) that it will perform all other duties of Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture.

(c) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of the Notes, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Notes of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due

on Notes of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Notes) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Notes, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Notes of that series, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (1) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 12.05, and (2) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company 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.

SECTION 4.04. Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

(a) The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 4.05. Limitation on Liens.

(a) This Section 4.05 shall apply solely from and after consummation of the Merger. Following the Merger, IFF will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue, incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt for borrowed money, collectively referred to as “Debt,” secured by any mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance, each a “Lien” and collectively “Liens,” upon any Principal Property or shares of stock (or other equivalents of or interests in equity) or indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary without in any such case providing concurrently with the issuance, incurrence, creation, assumption or guaranty of such secured Debt, or the grant of such Lien, that the Notes of each series (together with, at the Company’s option, any other indebtedness of or guarantee by the Company ranking equally with the Notes of each series) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of the Company, prior to) such secured Debt, for so long as such Debt is so secured. The foregoing restriction, however, will not apply to Debt secured by:

(1) Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of a Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Liens are not created in anticipation of the transaction in which such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) Liens on property acquired by IFF or a Restricted Subsidiary existing at the time of acquisition by IFF or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(3) Liens on property acquired by IFF or a Restricted Subsidiary and created prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after the acquisition of such property, or the completion of construction, the completion of improvements or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such property, for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of such property, such construction or the making of such improvements;

(4) Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of an entity existing at the time such entity is merged into or consolidated with IFF or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of a Person as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to IFF or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Lien was not incurred in contemplation of such merger or consolidation or sale, lease or other disposition;

(5) Liens on IFF’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s property or in favor of governmental bodies to secure payments of amounts owed under contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such liens;

(6) Liens to secure indebtedness owing to IFF or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(7) Liens existing on the date of the Issue Date; or

(8) extensions, renewals or replacements of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) through (7) or of any Debt secured thereby; provided, however, that such extension, renewal or replacement Lien shall secure no larger an amount of Debt than that existing at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement.

(1) IFF or the Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the covenant relating to Limitation on Liens set forth in Section 4.05, without equally and ratably securing the Notes of each series, to incur Debt secured by a Lien on the Principal Property involved in such transaction in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction; or

(2) IFF or the Restricted Subsidiary applies, within 180 days of the effective date of the Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of such sale or (ii) the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, to either, or a combination of, (x) the prepayment or retirement, other than any mandatory retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or payment at Maturity, of debt for borrowed money of IFF or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than debt subordinate to the Notes of each series or debt to IFF or a Restricted Subsidiary, that matures more than 12 months after its creation or (y) the purchase, construction or development of other comparable property.

SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Activities Prior to the Closing of the Merger.

(b) Prior to the closing of the Merger, except as required or permitted pursuant to the activities described in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.07 and except for any Affiliate transaction permitted by the immediately preceding sentence, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not incur any debt other than the Notes, the loans under the Term Loan Agreement and/or the bridge credit facility or intercompany debt.

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON

EVENT OF DEFAULT

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default.

(a) Whenever used herein with respect to Notes of a particular series, “Event of Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is continuing:

(1) the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Notes of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;

(2) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Notes of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at Maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; provided, however, that a valid extension of the Maturity of such Notes in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, for this purpose;

(3) the Company fails to deliver a notice upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event with respect to the Notes and such default continues for three Business Days after such delivery is required;

(4) the guarantee of the Notes by IFF ceases to be, or is asserted by the Company or any of the foregoing not to be, in full force or effect or enforceable in accordance with its terms at any point after the consummation of the Merger and the release of the Escrowed Property from the Escrow Account and prior to the IFF Notes Assumption;

(5) the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Notes other than such series) for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes of that series at the time Outstanding;

(6) the Company, or after the consummation of the Merger, IFF, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(7) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company, or after the consummation of the Merger, IFF, in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company, or after the consummation of the Merger, IFF, for all or substantially all of their respective property, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or after the consummation of the Merger, IFF, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

(b) If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in clause (6) and clause (7) above) and is continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Noteholders), may declare the entire principal of all the Notes of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the principal, together with accrued interest and all other amounts owing, shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or in the Notes of that series.

If any Event of Default specified in clause (6) and clause (7) above occurs with respect to the Company, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest on all of the Notes of each series then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

(c) At any time after the principal of the Notes of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (i) all matured installments of interest upon all the Notes of that series, (ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Notes of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, (iii) to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, interest upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Notes of that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and (iv) the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and

(2) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on Notes of that series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Notes of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

(e) The Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the Notes of any default (other than an Event of Default relating to the payment on Notes of that particular series) with respect to the Notes of that series if a responsible officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those Notes. Except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note that is to be paid by the Trustee, as paying agent, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default or event of default, unless a responsible officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice from the Company or a holder describing such default or event of default and stating that such notice is a notice of default.

SECTION 6.02. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

(a) The Company covenants that:

(1) in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Notes of a series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 90 Business Days, or

(2) in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Notes of that series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon Maturity of the Notes of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on all such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Notes of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06.

(b) If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Notes of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Notes of that series, wherever situated.

(c) In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affected the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Notes of that series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Notes of that series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06.

(d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Notes of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or 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 payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes of such series.

(e) In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(f) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.03. Application of Moneys Collected.

Any moneys collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Notes under this Article VI or the Escrow Agreement shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes of that series, stamping thereon the payment if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Notes of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, 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 Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively.

SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Suits.

(a) No holder of any Note of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(1) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Notes of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided;

(2) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder;

(3) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby;

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

(5) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Note, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (or in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or Redemption Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder, and by accepting a Note hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Note of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of the Notes of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Notes of such series.

(c) For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 6.05. Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Noteholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Notes.

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders.

SECTION 6.06. Control by Noteholders.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Notes otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.07. Undertaking to Pay Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Notes by such holder’s 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 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 Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note or established pursuant to this Indenture.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to the Notes of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Notes of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with

respect to the Notes of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(b) Within ninety days after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a series, the Trustee shall give to the holders of the Notes of such series notice of each default with respect to the Notes of such series actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice; but, unless such default be the failure to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes of such series when and as the same shall become payable, 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 interests of the holders of the Notes of such series.

(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) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Notes of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Notes of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations 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) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes of any series at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of that series; and

(4) None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Controller or an Assistant Controller, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);

(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel, investment bankers, accountants or other professionals and the written advice of such counsel, investment bankers, accountants or other professionals or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid 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.

(b) The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee.

(c) In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

SECTION 7.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Notes of one or more series by giving thirty days written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation to the Noteholders of such series in the manner provided in Section 14.03(b). Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Notes of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted the appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, (1) the resigning Trustee may at the expense of the Company petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Notes of such series or (2) any Noteholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee, upon which such court may after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months; or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Noteholder; or

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, 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 Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Notes and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided herein or (ii) any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee, upon which such court may after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) If the Trustee for the Notes of any series shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for the Notes of any series for any cause, the Company, by written instrument executed by order of the Board of Directors, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. If, within six months after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series shall have not been appointed by the Company pursuant to this Section, then holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any series at the time Outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee for such series by notifying the Company and the retiring Trustee. If no successor Trustee for the Notes of such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.11, and if such Trustee to be replaced is still incapable of acting, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, or the retiring Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, upon which such court may after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(d) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the Company.

(e) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Notes of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

(f) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Notes of one or more series or all of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Notes of any particular series.

SECTION 7.11. Acceptance of Appointment By Successor.

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Notes, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company 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 of the Company 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 Notes of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall:

(1) 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 Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates;

(2) 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 Notes 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) 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, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder.

Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, 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 Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.

(c) Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such 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.

(e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Noteholders in the manner provided in Section 14.03(b). If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.

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

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Notes 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 Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

SECTION 7.13. Reserved.

SECTION 7.14. Authority to Enter Into Escrow Agreement.

The Trustee is authorized and directed to execute, deliver and perform its duties under the Escrow Agreement. The Trustee is also authorized and directed to act on behalf of the holders of the Notes with respect to the Collateral.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE NOTEHOLDERS

SECTION 8.01. Evidence of Action by Noteholders.

(a) Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a particular series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of the Notes of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.

(b) If the Company shall solicit from the Noteholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the

determination of Noteholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Noteholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Noteholders for the purposes of determining whether Noteholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Noteholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

SECTION 8.02. Proof of Execution by Noteholders.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Noteholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Notes shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

(b) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register of such Notes or by a certificate of the Registrar thereof.

SECTION 8.03. Who May be Deemed Owners.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Note shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Note, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner or holder of the Notes represented by the Global Note for all purposes under this Indenture and under the Notes. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary, with respect to interests of Participants, and on the records of Participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through Participants.

SECTION 8.04. Certain Notes Owned by Company Disregarded.

In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent of waiver under this Indenture, the Notes of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes of that series or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Notes of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Notes of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

SECTION 8.05. Actions Binding on Future Noteholders.

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Note of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Note, and of any Note issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Notes of that series.

SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders.

(a) With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of the Notes of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Note then Outstanding and affected thereby:

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of the Notes of any series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.03. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Notes of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

(3) any other such transaction shall be permitted as long as the entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the entity which shall have acquired substantially all of the Company’s or IFF’s assets, as applicable, shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all of the Notes of all series in accordance with the terms of such series and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of this Indenture.

(c) In connection with the Second Merger, either (i) Merger Sub II, a wholly owned Subsidiary of IFF, shall (a) assume all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture and (b) by supplemental indenture effective upon the date of the consummation of the Second Merger become party to this Indenture as the issuer of the Notes or (ii) the IFF Notes Assumption shall be substantially contemporaneously consummated and IFF, by supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached to this Indenture as Exhibit F (which the Company and the Trustee shall countersign), shall become further party to this Indenture as the issuer of the Notes.

(d) Upon consummation of the Second Merger, IFF may (but is not obligated to) assume all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and Indenture through the IFF Notes Assumption; provided, however, if the Company and IFF elect the IFF Notes Assumption, IFF must by supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached to this Indenture as Exhibit F (which the Company and the Trustee shall countersign) become further party to the Indenture as the issuer of the Notes whereupon Merger Sub II will be released from any further obligation under the Notes and this Indenture shall be deemed amended as set forth in such supplemental indenture.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the execution of the supplemental indentures referred to in Sections 10.01(b) and (d) shall each constitute an amendment pursuant to Section 9.01 and, as such, shall not require notice to or consent of any Noteholder.

(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTEES

SECTION 11.01. Guarantees.

(a) By its execution of this Indenture (by any amendment or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.01), each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it receives substantial benefits from the Company and that such Guarantor is providing its Guarantee for good and valuable consideration, including such substantial benefits. Subject to this Article XI, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, regardless of the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, that:

(1) the principal, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon Redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest on, of, any interest on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or the Notes, will be promptly paid or delivered in full or performed, as applicable, in each case in accordance with this Indenture and the Notes; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, on a Change of Control Payment Date, upon Redemption or otherwise (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case subject to Section 11.02.

Upon the failure of any payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, and upon the failure of any performance so guaranteed, for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay or perform, as applicable, the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations is unconditional, regardless of the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in this Indenture and the Notes.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return, to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in

relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any consideration paid or delivered by the Company or the Guarantors to such Holder or the Trustee, then each Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that any right of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution it may have in relation to the Holders or in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations will be subordinated to, and will not be enforceable until payment in full of, all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 6, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (ii) if any Guaranteed Obligations are accelerated pursuant to Article 6, then such Guaranteed Obligations will, whether or not due and payable, immediately become due and payable by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, but only if the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under any Guarantee.

SECTION 11.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and, by its acceptance of any Note, each Holder, confirms that each Guarantor and the Holders intend that the Guarantee of each Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. Each of the Trustee, the Holders and each Guarantor irrevocably agrees that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 11.03. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

The execution by each Guarantor of this Indenture (by an amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.01) evidences the Guarantee of such Guarantor, and the delivery of any Note by the Trustee after its authentication constitutes due delivery of each Guarantee on behalf of each Guarantor. A Guarantee’s validity will not be affected by the failure of any officer of a Guarantor executing this Indenture or any such amended or supplemental indenture on such Guarantor’s behalf to hold, at the time any Note is authenticated, the same or any other office at each Guarantor, and each Guarantee will be valid and enforceable even if no notation, certificate or other instrument is set upon or attached to, or otherwise executed and delivered to the Holder of, any Note.

SECTION 11.04. When Guarantors May Merge, etc.

(a) No Guarantor will consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (other than the Company or

another Guarantor or pursuant to Article X ) (a “Guarantor Business Combination Event”), unless the resulting, surviving or transferee Person is such Guarantor or, if not such Guarantor, expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Guarantor Business Combination Event, a supplemental indenture) all of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

(b) Before the effective time of any Guarantor Business Combination Event, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Company and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such Guarantor Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) complies with Section 11.04(a); and (ii) all conditions precedent to such Guarantor Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.

(c) At the effective time of any Guarantor Business Combination Event that complies with Section 11.04(a) and Section 11.04(b), the successor Guarantor (if not the applicable Guarantor) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, such Guarantor under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such successor Guarantor had been named as a Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Guarantor will be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.04 shall have no applicability to IFF following release of IFF’s Guarantee of the Notes pursuant to Section 11.07.

SECTION 11.05. Future Guarantors.

(a) The Company shall cause IFF to become a Guarantor under the Indenture substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Merger by means of a supplemental indenture in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “IFF Guarantee”).

(b) On or prior to the 90th day following the consummation of the Merger, if IFF has not consummated the IFF Notes Assumption, the Company shall guarantee on a pari passu basis IFF’s debt securities and syndicated credit facilities and nothing in this Indenture shall prohibit such guarantee. The Guarantee by IFF described in the foregoing clause (a) shall be released upon the IFF Notes Assumption.

SECTION 11.06. Applicability of Certain Provisions of the Guarantors.

(a) Upon any request or application by any Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Article 14 with the same effect as if each reference to the Company in Article 14 or in the definitions of “Officer’s Certificate” or “Opinion of Counsel” were instead a reference to such Guarantor; provided, however, that no such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be necessary or provided in connection with the IFF Guarantee or the IFF Notes Assumption.

(b) Any notice or demand that this Indenture requires or permits to be given by the Trustee, or by any Holders, to the Company may instead be given to any Guarantor.

SECTION 11.07. Release of Guarantor.

IFF’s Guarantee of the Notes shall be automatically released upon the IFF Notes Assumption (and IFF shall thereafter be the obligor under the Notes).

ARTICLE XII

(2) all such Notes of a particular series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) shall have become due and payable, are by their terms to become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption; and (ii) the Company shall (in the case of (1) and (2) herein): (A) deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in moneys or Governmental Obligations sufficient or a combination thereof, sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay at Maturity or upon redemption all Notes of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to become due to such date of Maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be; (B) pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to such series by the Company; and (C) deliver an Officer’s Certificate of the Company and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series have been complied with, then this Indenture shall thereupon cease to be of further effect with respect to such series, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to such series.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10 shall survive until the date of Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, and Sections 7.06 and 12.05 shall survive to such date and thereafter.

SECTION 12.02. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

(b) Upon election by the Company to effect a covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes of any series under this Section 12.02(b), the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenants applicable to the Notes of such series which are subject to defeasance under the terms of this Indenture on or after the date the conditions precedent set forth in Section 12.02(b) are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any covenant applicable to such series which is subject to defeasance under the terms established with respect to such series pursuant to this Indenture.

income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

SECTION 12.03. Deposited Moneys to be Held in Trust.

All moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 12.01 or 12.02 shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the holders of the particular series of Notes for the payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee.

SECTION 12.04. Payment of Moneys Held by Paying Agents.

In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys or Governmental Obligations then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations.

SECTION 14.03. Notices.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

(1) the Trustee for a series of the Notes by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (which may be via facsimile or electronic mail) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, to a facsimile number or e-mail provided by the Trustee, with a copy mailed, first class postage prepaid to the Trustee addressed to it as provided above; or

(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if furnished in writing (which may be via facsimile) and mailed, first class postage prepaid, addressed (i) in the case of the Company prior to the Merger, to Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc., 974 Centre Road, Wilmington, DE 19805 (or at any other address previously furnished in writing to such Trustee by the Company) and (ii) in the case of the Company following the merger or of IFF, to International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., 521 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019 (or at any other address previously furnished in writing to such Trustee by IFF), Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or if sent by facsimile transmission, to a facsimile number provided to the Trustee by the Company or IFF, as applicable, with a copy mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company or IFF, as applicable addressed to the Company or IFF, as applicable, as provided above.

In any case where notice to Holders of the Notes is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so

mailed, to any particular Holder of a Note shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of the Notes given as provided herein. Any notice mailed in the manner prescribed by this Indenture shall be conclusively deemed to have been given whether or not received by any particular Holder. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of the Notes by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the reasonable approval of the Trustee for such Notes shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee for such Notes, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In the case of any Global Notes, notices to Holders thereof shall be deemed to have been “mailed” for purposes of this Indenture if given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.

(a) Upon any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee for any series of the Notes to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture or any supplement hereto, the Company, shall furnish to such Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

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

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

(4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

SECTION 14.07. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, or a certificate or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the opinion, certificate or representations with respect to matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.

Any such Opinion of Counsel or certificate or representations may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell the Notes or any interest therein, we will do so only (A) to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (B) inside the United States in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined therein), (C) inside the United States in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 of Notes to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to you and to the Company a signed letter substantially in the form of this letter and an Opinion of Counsel, in form and from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (D) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (E) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available) or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further agree to provide to any Person purchasing the Definitive Note or beneficial interest in a Global Note from us in a transaction meeting the requirements of clauses (A) through (E) of this paragraph a notice advising such purchaser that resales thereof are restricted as stated herein.

3. We understand that, on any proposed resale of the Notes or beneficial interest therein, we will be required to furnish to you and the Company such certifications, legal opinions and other information as you and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

4. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

5. We are acquiring the Notes or beneficial interest therein purchased by us for our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion and have authority to make, and do make, the statements contained in this letter, and not with a view to any distribution of the Notes.

6. The source of funds to be used to pay for the Notes purchased by us does not include assets of any employee benefit plan (other than a plan exempt from the coverage of ERISA) or plan or any other entity the assets of which consist of “plan assets” of employee benefit plans or plans as defined in Department of Labor regulation Section 2510.3-101, as amended by Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “Plan Asset Regulation”). As used in this paragraph, the term “employee benefit plan” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 3(3) of ERISA, and the term “plan” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code.

We either (A) are, and for so long as we hold any Notes, will be, a “venture capital operating company” or wholly owned by a “venture capital operating company” or (B) do not have, and for so long as we hold any Notes, will not have, “significant equity participation” by benefit plan investors pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulation. The term “venture capital operating company” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan Asset Regulation.
