duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Sections 2.03 and 2.04 of the Base Indenture.


 


(f)            No
service charge will be made for any registration of a transfer, exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange (but not for a redemption).


 


Section 2.02.           Denominations.
The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of €100,000 and
integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.


 


Section 2.03.           Form of
Notes. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions
of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Section 2.04.           Currency
of Notes. The Notes shall be denominated in Euro, and all payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon
any redemption of the Notes, will be payable in Euro. If the Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states
of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions
of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until
the Euro is again available to the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted into U.S. dollars
on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for Euro. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall
have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the forgoing. Any payment in respect of any Note
so made in U.S. dollars pursuant to this Section 2.04 will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture.


 


Section 2.05.           Registrar
and Paying Agent.


 


(a)           The
Company initially appoints Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch to act as the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes
(together with its successors and assigns, the “Paying Agent”), and Elavon Financial Services DAC to act as
the Registrar with respect to the Notes (together with its successors and assigns, the “Registrar”), in each
case in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement.


 


(b)           The
Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders.


 


(c)           The
Company designates the office of the Registrar and Paying Agent at 125 Old Broad Street, Fifth Floor, London EC2N 1AR as an agency
where the Notes may be presented for payment, exchange or registration of transfer, in each case as provided for in the Indenture.


 


Section 2.06.           Book-Entry
Provisions. This Section 2.06 shall apply to the Global Notes deposited with the Depositary.


 


Members of, or participants and account
holders in Euroclear and Clearstream, (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture
with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee or any custodian of the Depositary or
under such Global Note, and the Depositary or its nominees may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee as the sole owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by Euroclear and Clearstream or impair, as between Euroclear and Clearstream, on the one hand, and the
Participants, on the other, the operation of customary practices of such persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder
of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.


 


Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(e),
the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons
that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Supplement Indenture
or the Notes.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT


 


Section 3.01.           Redemption.
Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture, the following additional redemption provisions in this Article 3
shall apply to the Notes.


 


Section 3.02.           Optional
Redemption of the Notes.


 


(a)           The
Company may redeem at its election, at any time or from time to time, some or all of the Notes before they mature at a redemption
price equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of record
of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date plus (y) the Make-Whole
Premium.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after the First Par Call Date, the redemption price will not include the
Make-Whole Premium.


 


(c)           Neither
the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have any obligation to calculate or verify the calculation of the Make-Whole Premium.


 


(d)           The
provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and the following
provisions shall apply in lieu thereof:


 


(i)             In
the event that the Company chooses to redeem less than all of the Notes, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by
the Trustee:


 


(A)            by
a method that complies with the requirements, as certified to the Trustee by the Company, of the principal securities exchange,
if any, on which the Notes are listed at such time, and in compliance with the requirements of the relevant clearing system; provided
that, if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, beneficial interests in the Notes will be selected for redemption
by Euroclear and Clearstream in accordance with their respective standard procedures therefor; or


 


(B)             if
the Notes are not listed on a securities exchange, or such securities exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes
are not held through a clearing system or the clearing system prescribes no method of selection, by lot.


 


(ii)            No
Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Company will also comply with any other
requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed at such time.


 


(iii)           Notice
of redemption will be delivered at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be
redeemed, the Trustee and the Paying Agent; provided that, if the redemption notice is issued in connection with a defeasance
of the Notes or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture governing the Note in accordance with the Indentures, the notice of
redemption may be delivered more than 60 calendar days before the Redemption Date. If any Note is to be redeemed in part
only, then the notice of redemption that relates to such Note must state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon
cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be
made). On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long
as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price.


 






    -21-


     


    

 


(e)           Any
redemption or notice of redemption, other than a notice of redemption delivered pursuant to Section 3.03 in connection with
a Change in Tax Law, may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.


 


Section 3.03.          Tax
Redemption.


 


(a)           The
Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its option, at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than
60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if
any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (“Tax Event Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts
(if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Event Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject
to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date
occurring on or prior to the redemption date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if, on the next date on which
any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Company is or, based upon an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized
standing in the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (any such opinion, a “Tax Opinion”), would be required to pay Additional
Amounts in respect of the Notes and cannot avoid such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to the Company,
and such requirement arises as a result of:


 


(i)             any
amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction, which
change or amendment is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date; or


 


(ii)            any
amendment to, or change in, an official written interpretation or application of such laws, regulations or rulings (including
by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice),
which amendment or change is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (any such amendment or change described in Section 3.03(a)(i) or
(ii), a “Change in Tax Law”).


 


(b)           The
Company will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would
be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes was then due, and the obligation to pay Additional
Amounts must be in effect at the time such notice is given. Before the Company publishes or delivers a notice of redemption in
respect of a Tax Event Redemption Date as described in this Section 3.03, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate to the effect that the Company cannot avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures
available to it and, if required, the opinion of independent tax counsel described above. Any notice of redemption shall otherwise
be given pursuant to the procedures pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof. The Trustee shall accept, and will be entitled to conclusively
rely on, such an opinion of counsel and such Officers’ Certificate as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction
of the conditions precedent described in Section 3.03(a)(i) or (ii) above, as applicable, and upon delivery of
such opinion of counsel and Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee the Company will be entitled to give notice of redemption
hereunder and such notice of redemption will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes.


 






    -22-


     


    

 


Section 3.04.          Repurchase
Offer. In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary is required to commence
an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (a “Repurchase Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified
below.


 


The Repurchase Offer shall remain open
for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a shorter or longer period is
permitted or required, as the case may be, by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business
Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will purchase at the purchase
price (as determined in accordance with Section 4.05 hereof, as the case may be) the principal amount of Notes required to
be purchased pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof, as the case may be (the “Offer Amount”) and, if required,
Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and
Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same
manner as interest payments are made.


 


If the Purchase Date is on or after an
interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not
including, the Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record
date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer.


 


Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer,
the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will
contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. The
notice, which will govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, will state:


 


(a)            that
the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.04, and Section 4.05 hereof, and the length of time the
Repurchase Offer will remain open;


 


(b)           the
Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;


 


(c)            that
any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;


 


(d)           that,
unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer will cease
to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;


 


(e)            that
Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in minimum denominations
of €100,000, or integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof;


 


(f)            that
Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form
entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer,
to the Company, the Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least
three days before the Purchase Date;


 


(g)           that
Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives,
not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name
of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing
his election to have such Note purchased;


 






    -23-


     


    

 


(h)           that,
if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount,
the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu
Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that no Notes in denominations
of €100,000 or less will be purchased in part); and


 


(i)             that
Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes of the applicable series equal in principal amount to
the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).


 


On or before the Purchase Date, the Company
will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions
thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered,
and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate
stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.04.
The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after
the Purchase Date) deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder
and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request
from the Company, will authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder in a principal
amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture to the contrary,
neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. Any
Note not so accepted shall be promptly returned by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results
of the Repurchase Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.


 


Other than as specifically provided in
this Section 3.04 or Section 4.05 of this Supplemental Indenture, as applicable, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.04
shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture.


 


ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS


 


In addition to the covenants set forth
in Article 4 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the following additional covenants. Such additional covenants
set forth in Sections 4.03 through Section 4.05 below shall be subject to covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 8.03
of the Base Indenture.

principal and premium, if any, at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will
pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace period), at such rate to the extent lawful. Interest on the Notes will be computed on
the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from
and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or March 10, 2021 if no interest has been paid on the
Notes), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.


 






    -24-


     


    

 


Section 4.02.          Reports
to Holders. The following sentence shall be added to the end of the second paragraph of Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture:
 “If the Company had any Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the relevant period, the Company will also provide to the Trustee
and, upon request, to any Holder of the Notes, information sufficient to ascertain the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, excluding in all respects the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.”


 


Section 4.03.          Sale
and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and
Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property or assets unless:


 


(1)            the
Sale and Leaseback Transaction is solely with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;


 


(2)            the
lease is for a period not in excess of 36 months (or which may be terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
within a period of not more than 36 months);


 


(3)            the
Company would be able to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally
and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.04(b) (other than in reliance on clause (20) of the definition
of “Permitted Liens”); or


 


(4)            the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days after the sale of such property in connection with such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction is completed, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of such property to (i) the redemption
of Notes, other Indebtedness of the Company ranking on a parity with the Notes in right of payment or Indebtedness of the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) the purchase of other property; provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the
retirement of Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Company may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation; such Notes to be credited
at the cost thereof to the Company.


 


Section 4.04.          Limitation
on Liens. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom,
or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless:


 


(a)            in
the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that
is senior in priority to such Liens; and


 


(b)           in
all other cases, the Notes are equally and ratably secured,


 


except for:


 


(1)            Liens
existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date;


 






    -25-


     


    

 


(2)            Liens
securing the Company’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Obligations under any hedge facility permitted under the Indenture
to be entered into by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


(3)            Liens
securing the Notes;


 


(4)            Liens
in favor of the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on assets of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;
and


 


(5)            Permitted
Liens.


 


(c)           With
respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such
Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount”
of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, whether
payable in cash or in kind, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, imputed interest, the payment of interest in
the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock in the form
of additional shares of the same class, and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations
in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.


 


Section 4.05.          Offer
to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.


 


(a)           Upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company or a third party has previously or concurrently delivered
a redemption notice with respect to all outstanding Notes as described under Sections ‎3.02 or 3.03 hereof, the Company
will be required to make an offer to purchase each Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change
of Control Offer”), at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.


 


(b)           Within
30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, the Company must send, or cause the Trustee
to send, by first class mail (or, in the case of Notes represented by Global Notes, in accordance with the applicable procedures
of Euroclear or Clearstream), a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the
Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 15 days
nor later than 60 days after the date such notice is delivered, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of
Control Payment Date”). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required
to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed
and specifying the portion (equal to €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s
Notes that it agrees to sell to the Company pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified
in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.


 


(c)           The
Company will 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 the 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
the provisions of this Section 4.05, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will
not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.05 by virtue of such conflict.


 






    -26-


     


    

 


(d)           On
the date of such Change of Control Payment, the Company will, to the extent lawful:


 


(1)            accept
for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;


 


(2)            deposit
with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered;
and


 


(3)            deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate
principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.


 


(e)           The
Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and
the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal
in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in
a minimum principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000. The Company will publicly announce
the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the date of such Change of Control Payment.


 


(f)            The
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes
the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture
applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer. The Company (or a third party) may make a Change of Control Offer in advance of, and conditioned upon,
any Change of Control Triggering Event.


 


Section 4.06.          Payment
of Additional Amounts.


 


(a)           All
payments made by the Company under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction
for or on account of, any Tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding
by any applicable withholding agent for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the United States or a
taxing authority of or in the United States (a “Tax Jurisdiction”) will at any time be required to be made
in respect of any payments made by the Company under or with respect to the Notes, including payments of principal, redemption
price, purchase price, interest or premium, then the Company will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”)
as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each beneficial owner of the Notes that
is not a U.S. Person (as defined below) after such withholding, deduction or imposition (including any such withholding, deduction
or imposition in respect of any such Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect
of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts
will be payable with respect to:


 






    -27-


     


    

 


(1)            any
Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the Holder of a Note (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit
such Holder holds such Note) or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate,
trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being
considered as:


 


(a)              having
a current or former connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (other than a connection arising solely from the ownership or
disposition of such Note, the enforcement of rights under such Note), including being or having been a citizen or resident of
such Tax Jurisdiction, being or having engaged in a trade or business in such Tax Jurisdiction or having or having had a permanent
establishment in such Tax Jurisdiction; or


 


(b)             being
or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;


 


(2)            any
Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited
liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect
to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled
to the payment of Additional Amounts had the beneficial owner, beneficiary, settlor or member received directly its beneficial
or distributive share of the payment;


 


(3)            any
Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can
be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;


 


(4)            any
Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment more than 30 days after the
relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner would
otherwise have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);


 


(5)            any
Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment on or with respect to the Notes;

(b) being or having been a
 “10-percent shareholder” of the Company as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the Code; or

estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, wealth, capital gains, personal property or similar Taxes;


 


(8)            any
Taxes, to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of Notes to
comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether required by statute, treaty,
regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of
deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder
or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the Holder or beneficial owner
is legally eligible to provide such certification or documentation;

(9)            any
Taxes that are imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the date of the Indenture (or any
amended or successor version that is substantively comparable), any regulations promulgated thereunder or any other official interpretations
thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code as of the date of Indenture (or any amended
or successor version described above) or any intergovernmental agreements (and any related law, regulation or official administrative
guidance) implementing the foregoing; or


 


(10)          any
combination of items (1) through (9) above.


 


(b)           Except
as specifically provided for in this Section 4.06, the Company will not be required to make any payment for any Tax.


 


(c)           If
the Company becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect
to the Notes, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and Paying Agent promptly prior to the date of that payment an Officers’
Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officers’
Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts
to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee and Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officers’
Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.


 


(d)           The
Company, if it is the applicable withholding agent, will make all withholdings and deductions required by law and will remit the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company will use its reasonable
efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Company
will furnish to the Trustee upon reasonable written request, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes
so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Company or if, notwithstanding such
entity’s efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other reasonable evidence of payments by such entity.


 


(e)           The
above obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture, any transfer by a holder or beneficial
owner of its Notes, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any successor Person to the Company.


 


(f)            As
used in this Section 4.06 and under Section 3.03 hereof,


 


(i)             “United
States” means the United States of America, any state thereof and the District of Columbia; and


 


(ii)            “U.S.
Person” means any person that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of
the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States,
any state thereof or the District of Columbia or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation
regardless of its source.

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, OR SALE OF ASSETS


 


The Notes shall not be subject to Section 5.01

Indenture:


 


Section 5.01.          Merger,
Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.


 


(a)           The
Company will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or
sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to
sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (determined
on a consolidated basis for the Company and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially
as an entirety to any Person unless:


 


		(1)	either:



 


		(A)	the Company shall be the surviving or continuing corporation;
                                         or



 


(B)            the
Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires
by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of the Company and of the Company’s
Restricted Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Entity”):


 


(i)            shall
be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
provided that in the case where the Surviving Entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation;
and


 


(ii)           shall
expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in form satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and delivered to the Trustee, the
due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, interest on all of the Notes and the performance of every covenant
of the Notes and the Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;


 


(2)            immediately
before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(B)(ii) of this
Section 5.01(a), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; and


 


(3)            the
Company or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental
indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture complies with the applicable provisions
of the Indenture and that all conditions precedent in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied.


 






    -30-


     


    

 



 


(b)          For
purposes of the provisions of Section 5.01(a) hereof, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single
transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries
of the Company, in a single or a series of related transactions, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of
such Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated
basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
clauses (1) and (2) of Section 5.01(a) hereof, but subject to the proviso in clause (1)(B)(i) of Section 5.01(a),
the Company may merge with (x) any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or (y) an Affiliate that is a Person that
has no material assets or liabilities and which was organized solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.01 shall prevent the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary from consummating
the Company Conversion.

a default with respect to Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without

Indenture);


 


(d)            the

[Back of Note]


 


1.000% Senior Notes due 2033


 


Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.


 


(1) INTEREST.
Equinix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount
of this Note at 1.000% per annum from March 10, 2021, until maturity. The Company will pay interest annually in arrears on
March 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest,
and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment
Date shall be March 15, 2022. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is equal to the interest rate
then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy
Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same
rate to the extent lawful. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which
interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes
(or March 10, 2021 if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment
Date.


 


(2) METHOD
OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest and any Additional Amounts, if any, on the
Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1
(whether or not such date is a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even
if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14
of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest
at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without London, United Kingdom, or,
at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by wire transfer or by check mailed to the address of the appropriate
person as it appears on the security register. So long as the registered owner of the Notes is a common depositary of Euroclear
and Clearstream or their nominee, payment of principal and interest shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Euroclear
and Clearstream. If the Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond
the Company’s control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that
have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international
banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the Euro is again available to
the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the then most
recently available market exchange rate for Euro. Any payment in respect of any Note so made in U.S. dollars pursuant to the Indenture
will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture.


 


(3) PAYING
AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, will act as Paying Agent and Elavon Financial
Services DAC will act as Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company
or any of its Subsidiaries may act in the capacity of Paying Agent or Registrar.


 






    A-3


     


    

 


(4) INDENTURE. The Company issued
the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of December 12, 2017 (the “Base Indenture” and, as supplemented
by the Supplemental Indenture (as defined below), the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee,
as supplemented by that certain Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 10, 2021, by and between the Company,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar (the “Supplemental Indenture”). The terms of this Note include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes
are unsecured obligations of the Company.


 


(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.


 


(a)            The
Company may redeem at its election, at any time or from time to time, some or all of the Notes before they mature at a redemption
price equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of record
of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date plus (y) the Make-Whole
Premium.


 


(b)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after the First Par Call Date, the redemption price will not include the
Make-Whole Premium.


 


(c)            Any
redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Article ‎3 of the Supplemental
Indenture.


 


(d)            Any
redemption or notice of redemption, other than a notice of redemption delivered pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture in connection
with a Change in Tax Law, may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.


 


(6) TAX REDEMPTION.


 


(a)            The
Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its option, at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to,
but excluding, the Tax Event Redemption Date and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax
Event Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the redemption date and
Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if, on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes,
the Company is or, based upon a Tax Opinion would be required to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes and cannot avoid
such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to the Company, and such requirement arises as a result of a Change
in Tax Law.


 


(b)            The
Company will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would
be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes was then due, and the obligation to pay Additional
Amounts must be in effect at the time such notice is given. Before the Company publishes or delivers a notice of redemption in
respect of a Tax Event Redemption Date as described above, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
to the effect that the Company cannot avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to
it and, if required, the Tax Opinion. Any notice of redemption shall otherwise be given pursuant to the procedures pursuant to
Section 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee shall accept, and will be entitled to conclusively rely on, such Tax
Opinion and such Officers’ Certificate as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent
described in Section 3.03(a)(i) or (ii) of the Supplemental Indenture, as applicable, and upon delivery of such
Tax Opinion and Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee the Company will be entitled to give notice of redemption hereunder
and such notice of redemption will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes.


 






    A-4


     


    

 


(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice
of redemption will be delivered at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes
are to be redeemed at its registered address and the Trustee, except that redemption notices with respect to any redemption pursuant
to ‎Section 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice
is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations
larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part in connection with any redemption pursuant to ‎Section 3.02, but only
in whole multiples of €1,000 unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed and provided that any unredeemed
portion of a Note is equal to €100,000 or a multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. Any notice of redemption in connection
with a Change in Tax Law pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Supplemental Indenture will comply with the procedures described
in Section 6 of this Note and Sections 3.02 and 3.03 of the Supplemental Indenture, as applicable. On and after the redemption
date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited
with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price.


 


(8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF
HOLDER.


 


(a) In the event that the Company or
a Restricted Subsidiary is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 4.05 of the
Supplemental Indenture, it will comply with the terms set forth in the Supplemental Indenture, including Section 3.04 thereof.


 


(b) If a Change of Control Triggering
Event occurs, unless the Company or a third party has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to
all outstanding Notes, as described under Sections 3.02 or 3.03 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Company will be required to
make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s
Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company
will deliver a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control
Offer as required by the Indenture.


 


(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000
and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered
and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required
by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected
for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part that is equal to €100,000 or
a multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. Also, the Company need not issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for
a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date.

the transfer and legending of the Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance
and administration of the Notes; provided that (i) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in
the Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does
not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer the Notes.

effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company

is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice
of any such acceleration) if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been so accelerated (in each case
with respect to which the 30-day period described above has passed), equals $500.0 million or more at any time; (v) the Company

that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Material
Subsidiary in an involuntary case; appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary

    A-6


     


    




 


If any Event of Default with respect to
outstanding Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice
in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”
and the same shall be immediately due and payable.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case
of an Event of Default arising from the events of bankruptcy or insolvency specified in clauses (v) or (vi) in the second
preceding paragraph above occurring with respect to the Company, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all
of the outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to
the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders,
rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing
Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required
to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, within five
Business Days of any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying
such Default or Event of Default.


 


(13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.
The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.


 


(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.
No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, stockholder or Affiliate of the Company, as such,
shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or under the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all
such liabilities. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
