SECTION 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1. Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The CompanyParent may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount plus the Swap Reimbursement Amount (if any) and in each case less any applicable Net Gain.

The CompanyParent will give each holder of its Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the CompanyParent and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.5), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the CompanyParent shall deliver to each holder of its Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3. Prepayment for Tax Reasons.

image_9a.jpgprepayment at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment plus the Swap Reimbursement Amount for each such Note and in each case less any applicable Net Gain for such Note, but without payment of any Make-Whole Amount with respect thereto, except in the case of an affected Note if the holder of such Note shall, by written notice given to the CompanyParent no more than 20 days after receipt of the Tax Prepayment Notice, reject such prepayment of such Note (each, a “Rejection Notice”). The form of Rejection Notice shall also accompany the Tax Prepayment Notice and shall state with respect to each Note covered thereby that execution and delivery thereof by the holder of such Note shall operate as a permanent waiver of such holder's right to receive the Additional Payments arising as a result of the circumstances described in the Tax Prepayment Notice in respect of all future payments of interest on such Note (but not of such holder's right to receive any Additional Payments that arise out of circumstances not described in the Tax Prepayment Notice or which exceed the amount of the Additional Payment described in the Tax Prepayment Notice), which waiver shall be binding upon all subsequent transferees of such Note. The Tax Prepayment Notice having been given as aforesaid to each holder of the affected Notes, the principal amount of such Notes together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment plus the Swap Reimbursement Amount (if any) shall become due and payable on such prepayment date, except in the case of Notes the holders of which shall timely give a Rejection Notice as aforesaid.

(b)No prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall affect the obligation of the CompanyParent to pay Additional Payments in respect of any payment made on or prior to the date of such prepayment. For purposes of this Section 8.3, any holder of more than one affected Note may act separately with respect to each affected Note so held (with the effect that a holder of more than one affected Note may accept such offer with respect to one or more affected Notes so held and reject such offer with respect to one or more other affected Notes so held).

(c)The CompanyParent may not offer to prepay or prepay Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 (i) if a Default or Event of Default then exists, (ii) until the CompanyParent shall have taken commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the requirement to make the related Additional Payments or (iii) if the obligation to make such Additional Payments directly results or resulted from actions taken by the CompanyParent or any Subsidiary (other than actions required to be taken under applicable law), and any Tax Prepayment Notice given pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall certify to the foregoing and describe such mitigation steps, if any.

(d)For purposes of this Section 8.3: “Additional Payments” means additional amounts required to be paid to a holder of any Note pursuant to Section 13 by reason of a Change in Tax Law; and a “Change in Tax Law” means (individually or collectively with one or more prior changes) (i) an amendment to, or change in, any law, treaty, rule or regulation of the United States or the United Kingdom after the date of the Closing, or an amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such law, treaty, rule or regulation after the date of the Closing, which amendment or change is in force and continuing and meets the opinion and certification requirements described below or (ii) in the case of any other jurisdiction that becomes a Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of the Closing, an amendment to, or change in, any law, treaty, rule or regulation of such jurisdiction, or an amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such law, treaty, rule or regulation, in any case after such jurisdiction shall have become a Taxing Jurisdiction, which amendment or change is in force and continuing and meets
- 22 -

APTAR        NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

such opinion and certification requirements. No such amendment or change shall constitute a Change in Tax Law unless the same would in the opinion of the CompanyParent (which shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the CompanyParent and supported by a written opinion of counsel (or other tax advisor(s)) having recognized expertise in the field of taxation in the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, both of which shall be delivered to all holders of the Notes prior to or concurrently with the Tax Prepayment Notice in respect of such Change in Tax Law) affect the deduction or require the withholding of any Tax imposed by such Taxing Jurisdiction on any payment payable on the Notes.

Section 8.4.    [Reserved].

Section 8.5. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. All prepayments pursuant to Section 8.3 or Section 8.10 shall be applied as therein provided.

Section 8.6. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date plus the Swap Reimbursement Amount (if any) and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the CompanyParent shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest plus the Swap Reimbursement Amount (if any) and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the CompanyParent and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.7. Purchase of Notes. The Parent Guarantor will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes, or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Parent Guarantor, the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions (except to the extent necessary to reflect differences in the interest rates and maturities of the Notes of different series). Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 10% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Parent Guarantor shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The CompanyParent will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Non-Swapped Note” means any Note other than a Swapped Note.

Reinvestment Yield” means with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask-side yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M.

Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal and (2) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Non-Swapped Note.

Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year

Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Non-Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Swapped Note Discounted Value with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount related to such Swapped Note over such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may not in any event be less than zero.

Original Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, (x) a cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto (an “Initial Swap Agreement”) that is entered into on an arm’s length basis following ordinary commercial practice by the original purchaser of such Swapped Note (or any affiliate thereof) in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the purchase of such Swapped Note and relates to the scheduled payments by the CompanyParent of interest and principal on such Swapped Note, under which the holder of such Swapped Note is to receive payments from the counterparty thereunder in U.S.

Any holder of a Swapped Note that enters into, assumes or terminates an Initial Swap Agreement or Replacement Swap Agreement shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter deliver to the CompanyParent a copy of the confirmation, assumption or termination related thereto.

Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, an Original Swap Agreement or a New Swap Agreement, as the case may be.

Swapped Note” means any Note that as of the date of the Closing is subject to a Swap Agreement the principal economic terms (i.e., sufficient to enable the CompanyParent to make its own calculations of any actual or theoretical Net Gain or Net Loss) of which are set forth in a schedule delivered to the CompanyParent on or about the date of Closing (in the case of an Original Swap Agreement) and as of the date of its execution (in the case of a New Swap Agreement).

Swapped Note Applicable Percentage” means 0.50% (50 basis points).

Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the payment in U.S. Dollars due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party, attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled maturity date, provided that if such Swap Agreement is not an Initial Swap Agreement, then the “Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” in respect of such Swapped Note shall not exceed the amount in U.S. Dollars which would have been due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Initial Swap Agreement to which such holder was a party (or if such holder was never party to an Initial Swap Agreement, then the last Initial Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of such Swapped Note was a party), attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled maturity date.

principal of such Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Swapped Note Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires, the amount obtained by discounting all Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments corresponding to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of such Swapped Note from their respective scheduled due dates to the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Swapped Note is payable) equal to the Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount.

Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note, the sum of (x) the Swapped Note Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life. The Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Swapped Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note, the sum of (x) the Swapped Note Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life and (2) the
U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Swapped

Note Remaining Average Life. The Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of such Swapped Note.

Swapped Note Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, the number of years obtained by dividing (x) such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount into (y) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount by (2) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the scheduled due date of such Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments.

Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount relating to any Swapped Note, the payments due to the holder of such Swapped Note in U.S. Dollars under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party which correspond to all payments of the Swapped Note Called Principal of such Swapped Note corresponding to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and interest on such Swapped Note Called Principal (other than that portion of the payment due under such Swap Agreement corresponding to the interest accrued on the Swapped Note Called Principal to the Swapped Note Settlement Date) that would be due after the Swapped Note Settlement Date in respect of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount assuming that no payment of such Swapped Note Called Principal is made prior to its originally scheduled payment date, provided that if such Swapped Note Settlement Date is not a date on which an interest payment is due to be made under the terms of such Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Swapped Note Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Swapped Note Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

Swapped Note Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the date on which such Swapped Note Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires, and also include, for purposes of Section 8.9, the date on which a Swapped Note is prepaid pursuant to Section 8.3, Section 8.10 or Section 10.3.

If any Swapped Note is prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 8.10 or Section 10.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, then (a) any resulting Net Loss in connection therewith shall be reimbursed to the holder of such Swapped Note by the CompanyParent in Dollars upon any such prepayment or repayment of such Swapped Note (such amount payable herein referred to as the “Swap Reimbursement Amount”) and (b) any resulting Net Gain in connection therewith shall be deducted from the Make-Whole Amount, if any, and the remaining balance, if any, of such resulting Net Gain shall be deducted from any principal or interest to be paid to the holder of such Swapped Note, provided that, the Make-Whole Amount in respect of such Swapped Note may not in any event be less than zero. Each holder of a Swapped Note shall be responsible for calculating,

its own Net Loss or Net Gain, as the case may be, and Swap Breakage Amount in U.S. Dollars upon the prepayment or repayment of all or any portion of such Swapped Note, and such calculations shall be reported to the CompanyParent in reasonable detail and shall become binding on the CompanyParent upon the CompanyParent’s consent to such calculation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, absent demonstrable error.

As used in this Section 8.9 with respect to any Swapped Note that is prepaid or accelerated: “Net Loss” means the amount, if any, by which the total of the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the Swapped Note Called Notional Accrued Interest Amount exceeds the sum of (x) the total of the Swapped Note Called Principal and the Swapped Note Called Accrued Interest Amount plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by the holder of such Swapped Note; and “Net Gain” means the amount, if any, by which the total of the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the Swapped Note Called Notional Accrued Interest is exceeded by the sum of (x) the total of the Swapped Note Called Principal and the Swapped Note Called Accrued Interest Amount plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid)
(y)the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by such holder. For purposes of any determination of any “Net Loss” or “Net Gain,” the Swapped Note Called Principal and the Swapped Note Called Accrued Interest Amount shall be determined by the holder of the affected Swapped Note, by converting Euro into U.S. Dollars at the current Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate, as determined as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day such Swapped Note is prepaid or accelerated as indicated on the applicable screen of Bloomberg Financial Markets and any such calculation shall be reported to the CompanyParent in reasonable detail and shall become binding on the CompanyParent upon the CompanyParent’s consent to such calculation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, absent demonstrable error.

Swapped Note Called Accrued Interest Amount” means, with respect to a Swapped Note, the accrued interest of such Swapped Note to the Swapped Note Settlement Date that is to be prepaid or has become immediately due and payable, as the context requires.

Swapped Note Called Notional Accrued Interest Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, the payment due to the holder of the related Swapped Note under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party attributable to and in exchange for the Swapped Note Called Accrued Interest Amount.

As used in this Section 8.9, “Swap Breakage Amount” means, with respect to the Swap Agreement associated with any Swapped Note, in determining the Net Loss or Net Gain, the amount that would be received (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be positive) or paid (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be negative) by the holder of such Swapped Note as if such Swap Agreement had terminated due to the occurrence of an event of default or an early termination under the ISDA 1992 Multi-Currency Cross Border Master Agreement or ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ISDA Master Agreement”); provided, however, that if such holder (or its predecessor in interest with respect to such Swapped Note) was, but is not at the time, a party to an Original Swap Agreement but is a party to a New Swap Agreement, then the Swap Breakage Amount shall mean the lesser of (x) the gain or loss (if any) which would have been received or incurred (by payment, through off-set or netting or otherwise) by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap Agreement (if any) in respect of such
- 29 -

Swapped Note to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) was a party (or if such holder was never a party to an Original Swap Agreement, then the last Original Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of a Swapped Note was a party) and which would have arisen as a result of the payment of the Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date and (y) the gain or loss (if any) actually received or incurred by the holder of such Swapped Note, in connection with the payment of such Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date, under the terms of the New Swap Agreement to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) is a party. The holder of such Swapped Note will make all calculations related to the Swap Breakage Amount in good faith and in accordance with its customary practices for calculating such amounts under the ISDA Master Agreement pursuant to which such Swap Agreement shall have been entered into and assuming for the purpose of such calculation that there are no other transactions entered into pursuant to such ISDA Master Agreement (other than such Swap Agreement) and any such calculation shall be reported to the CompanyParent in reasonable detail.

The Swap Breakage Amount shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.

Each holder of a Swapped Note will furnish the CompanyParent with an update on the swap position with respect to its Swapped Notes upon reasonable request in order to allow the CompanyParent to have a reasonable estimate of the current amount of Net Loss or Net Gain that would result from a prepayment.

(a)Notice of Change in Control or Control Event. The CompanyParent will, within 15 Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control or Control Event, give written notice of such Change in Control or Control Event to each holder of Notes unless notice in respect of such Change in Control (or the Change in Control contemplated by such Control Event) shall have been given pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.10.

provided further that in no event shall the CompanyParent be obligated to pay such additional amounts to any holder (i) not resident in the United States of America in excess of the amounts that the CompanyParent would be obligated to pay if such holder had been a resident of the United States of America for purposes of, and fully eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty from time to time in effect between the United States of America and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or (ii) resident in the United States of America who is not entitled pursuant to the double taxation treaty in effect as of the date of this Agreement between the United States of America, and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to a full exemption from Tax imposed on any payment made under this Agreement by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and would not be so entitled even if all necessary procedural formalities were completed and all conditions in the relevant treaty were satisfied for such exemption from such Tax at the time any payment was made or due to be made under this Agreement.

(c)By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees, subject to the limitations of clause (b)(ii) above, that it will from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by the CompanyParent all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such holder by the CompanyParent (collectively, together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such holder in order to avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the United States and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide the CompanyParent with such information with respect to such holder as the CompanyParent may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms, provided that nothing in this Section 13 shall require any holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such holder such Form or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder, and provided further that each such holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly completed and delivered by such holder to the CompanyParent or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority (with a copy sent to the CompanyParent), whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of the CompanyParent (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of any such Form not in the English language) and, in the case of a transfer of any Note, at least 90 days prior to the relevant interest payment date.

(e)If any payment is made by the CompanyParent to or for the account of the holder of any Note after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and increased payments are made by the CompanyParent pursuant to this Section 13, then, if such holder at its sole discretion determines that it has received or been granted a refund of such Taxes, such holder shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, reimburse to the CompanyParent such amount as such holder shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the holder of any Note to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of such Tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in Section 13(b)(ii)) oblige any holder of any Note to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

(f)The CompanyParent will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by the CompanyParent of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under this Agreement or the Notes, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of the CompanyParent, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any holder of a Note.

(g)If the CompanyParent is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of which the CompanyParent would be required to pay any additional amount under this Section 13, but for any reason does not make such deduction or withholding with the result that a liability in respect of such Tax is assessed directly against the holder of any Note, and such holder pays such liability, then the CompanyParent will promptly reimburse such holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by the CompanyParent) upon demand by such holder accompanied by an official receipt (or a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

(h)If the CompanyParent makes payment to or for the account of any holder of a Note and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other than a Form described above), then such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from the CompanyParent (which shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by the CompanyParent, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above.

(i)The obligations of the CompanyParent under this Section 13 shall survive the payment or transfer of any Note and the provisions of this Section 13 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.

(j)By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees that such holder will with reasonable promptness duly complete and deliver to the CompanyParent, or to such other Person as may be reasonably requested by the CompanyParent, from time to time (i) in the case of any such holder that is a United States Person, such holder’s United States tax identification number or other Forms reasonably requested by the CompanyParent necessary to establish such holder’s status as a United States Person under FATCA and as may otherwise be necessary for the CompanyParent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and (ii) in the case of any such holder that is not a United States Person, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation as may be necessary for the CompanyParent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such holder has complied with such holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from any such payment made to such holder. Nothing in this Section 13(j) shall require any holder to provide information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder unless the CompanyParent is required to obtain such information under FATCA and, in such event, the CompanyParent shall treat any such information it receives as confidential.

(k)Any holder of a Note issued by CompanyParent who holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme, and which wishes the scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall irrevocably include an indication to that effect by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Purchaser Schedule (or, in the case of any transferee of a Note, in the information provided to the CompanyParent pursuant to Section 14.2(a)).

Where a holder of a Note has included its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Purchaser Schedule or in the information provided to the CompanyParent pursuant to Section 14.2(a), the CompanyParent shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such holder with HMRC no later than 30 days prior to the first interest payment date under the Notes (or, in the case of any transferee of a Note, within 30 days of completion of the transfer thereof) and shall provide such holder with a copy of that filing.

It shall thereafter be the sole responsibility of the holder of any Note to comply with the Terms and Conditions, including, without limitation, renewing its passport from time to time and notifying HMRC of any material change to its form or circumstances.

(l)Any holder of a Note may deliver a QPP Certificate to the CompanyParent and provided that such QPP Certificate has not been withdrawn by the holder of the Note or cancelled by HMRC (unless such withdrawal or cancellation is as a consequence of the failure of the CompanyParent to comply with its obligations under regulation 7 of the Income Tax (Qualifying Private Placement Regulations) 2015 (SI 2015/2002)) such holder shall not be required to file any other Form seeking relief in respect of UK Tax pursuant to the applicable double taxation agreement or to provide its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number (and so be non-compliant with the provisions of this Section 13) unless it has failed to file such Form in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13 within the period of 60 days following it being notified of such withdrawal or cancellation and receiving a written request to do so from the CompanyParent or their legal counsel.

- 67 -

APTAR        NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

against the Company or the Parent Guarantor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company or the Parent Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Notes owned by Persons other than the Parent Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and all other sums due or payable under this Agreement have been fully paid and discharged or payment therefor has been provided. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the indefeasible cash payment in full of the Notes in the applicable currency and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to the holders of the Notes to be credited and applied to the amounts due or to become due with respect to the Notes and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured.

Section 24.4. Preference. The Parent Guarantor agrees that to the extent the Company or any other Person makes any payment on the Notes, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, liquidator, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any holder of the Notes from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person.

Section 24.5. Marshalling. None of the holders of the Notes shall be under any obligation
(a)to marshall any assets in favor of the Parent Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Company under or in respect of the Notes or the obligation of the Parent Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lessen the Parent Guarantor’s burden or any right to which the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Agreement rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of the Parent Guarantor which is not secured or the subject of any statutory trust or preference or which is not expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness.
