Bertrange, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (R.C.S. Luxembourg) under number B217.592 (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby certifies that Clearstream Nominees Ltd. is entered in the Security Register as a registered holder of or registered assigns (the “Holder”) of the €500,000,000
1.750% Senior Note Due 2027, and promises to pay to Clearstream Nominees Ltd., the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION EUROS (€500,000,000) on June 12, 2027, and to pay interest thereon on June 12 of each year at a rate per annum
equal to 1.750% until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum interest rate for this note shall at all times be no less than 0.00% per annum. The interest so payable, and punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the date immediately preceding
such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided that the interest payable at the Maturity Date will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture. 
 Payments of interest on the Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest
Payment Date. Interest on the Notes will be calculated on an Actual Basis. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of the interest and principal payable on such date will be made on
the next Business Day. 












 All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption of the
Notes, shall be payable in Euros. Payment of interest, subject to such surrender where applicable, (i) may be made at the Company’s option by wire transfer or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register and (ii) in the case of any Global Security, must be made by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen
(16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. So long as the beneficial owner of the Notes is Euroclear and/or Clearstream acting as common safekeeper or their nominee, payment of principal and interest shall be made
in accordance with the requirements of Euroclear and Clearstream. If, on or after the date of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Euro is unavailable to the Company (or the Guarantor, in the case of payments under the guaranty hereunder) due to
the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s (or the Guarantor’s, in the case of payments under the guaranty hereunder) 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 the Guarantor, as applicable) or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Euros will be converted into U.S. Dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal
Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent U.S. Dollar/Euro
exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or most recently prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the
Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 

This Note shall not be valid unless effectuated by the entity acting as the common safekeeper for Euroclear Bank SA/NV and Clearstream Banking
S.A.
