SECTION 2.01. Creation of the Notes. In accordance with Section 301 of the Original Indenture, the Company hereby creates each of
the 2022 Notes and the 2026 Notes as a separate series of its Securities issued pursuant to the Indenture. The 2022 Notes shall be issued initially in an aggregate principal amount of €500,000,000 and the 2026 Notes shall be issued initially in
an aggregate principal amount of €500,000,000, except as permitted by Sections 304, 305 or 306 of the Original Indenture. 
 SECTION
2.02. Form of the Notes. The Notes shall each be issued in the form of a Global Note, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Authenticating Agent, which shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depository or its nominee,
as common depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, Clearstream and Euroclear, and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee. The 2022 Notes and the Trustee and Authenticating Agent’s Certification of
Authentication in respect thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and the 2026 Notes and the Trustee and Authenticating Agent’s Certification of Authentication in respect thereof shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit B attached hereto. So long as Euroclear or Clearstream or their nominee or the Depository or its nominee is the Holder of the Global Notes, Euroclear, Clearstream, the Depository or their respective nominees, as the case may be,
shall be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the Indenture and the Notes. Except as set forth in Sections 2.03(d) and 2.04(d) hereof, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole
and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective nominees only through records maintained by Clearstream and Euroclear (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or Persons that hold interests
through participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners), and owners of beneficial 

  
 7 








 
interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to have the Notes registered in their names and will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form.
Payments of principal, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Global Notes will be made to Euroclear, Clearstream, such nominee or such Depository, as the case may be, as Holder thereof. None of the Company, the Trustee, any
underwriter or any affiliate of any of the above or any Person by whom any of the above is “controlled”, as such term is defined in the Securities Act, will have any responsibility or liability for any records relating to or payments made
on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. For the purposes of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture only, the Global
Security Legend for the Notes shall be the legend set forth at the beginning of the form of Global Notes attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, and such legend shall apply in lieu of the legend set forth in Section 203(2) of the Original
Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.03. Terms, Conditions and Covenants of the 2022 Notes. The 2022 Notes shall be governed by all the terms,
conditions and covenants of the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. In particular, the following provisions shall be terms of the 2022 Notes: 

(a) Title and Aggregate Principal Amount. The title of the 2022 Notes shall be as specified in the Recitals; and the aggregate principal
amount of the 2022 Notes shall be as specified in Section 2.01 of this Article II, except as permitted by Sections 304, 305 or 306 of the Original Indenture. 

(b) Stated Maturity. The 2022 Notes shall mature, and the unpaid principal thereon shall be payable, on December 13, 2022 (the
“2022 Maturity Date”), subject to the provisions of the Original Indenture and Articles III and IV below. 
 (c) Interest.
The rate per annum at which interest shall be payable on the 2022 Notes shall be 1.414% (the “2022 Standard Interest Rate”), subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change, as
the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof. Interest on the 2022 Notes shall be payable annually in arrears on each December 13, commencing on December 13, 2017 (each, a “2022 Interest Payment Date”), to the Persons in
whose names the applicable 2022 Notes are registered in the Security Register applicable to the 2022 Notes at the close of business on the immediately preceding November 28 prior to the applicable 2022 Interest Payment Date regardless of
whether such day is a Business Day (each, a “2022 Regular Record Date”). Interest on the 2022 Notes shall 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 2022 Notes (or December 13, 2016, if no interest has been paid on the 2022 Notes), to, but excluding, the next scheduled 2022 Interest Payment Date. This payment convention
is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. Interest on the 2022 Notes shall accrue from and including December 13, 2016. If a 2022 Interest Payment Date or the 2022
Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of interest or principal, as applicable, will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount
so payable for the period from and after that 2022 Interest 

  
 8 








 
Payment Date or the 2022 Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date the payment is made. Interest payments will include accrued interest from and including the date of issue or from and
including the last date in respect to which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the 2022 Interest Payment Date or the 2022 Maturity Date, as the case may be. 

(d) Registration and Form. The 2022 Notes shall be issuable as Registered Securities as provided in Section 2.02 of this Article
II, subject to Article V. The 2022 Notes shall be issued and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. All payments of principal, premium, Redemption Price and accrued
and unpaid interest in respect of the 2022 Notes shall be made by the Company in immediately available funds and shall be payable in euro and, subject to Section 2.11(c) hereof, not any other currency. 

(e) Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The provisions for defeasance in Section 1302 of the Original Indenture, and the provisions
for covenant defeasance in Section 1303 of the Original Indenture, shall be applicable to the 2022 Notes. 
 (f) Further Issues.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Original Indenture, the Company may, from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holders, create and issue further debt securities having the same ranking and terms
and conditions as the 2022 Notes in all respects, except for issue date and, in some cases, the public offering price and the first Interest Payment Date. Additional 2022 Notes issued in this manner shall be consolidated with, and shall form a
single series with, the previously outstanding 2022 Notes; provided that if such additional 2022 Notes are not fungible with the previously issued 2022 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional 2022 Notes will have a
separate ISIN number. Notice of the issuance of any such additional 2022 Notes shall be given to the Trustee and a new supplemental indenture shall be executed in connection therewith. No such additional 2022 Notes may be issued if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2022 Notes. 
 (g) Other Terms, Conditions and Covenants. The 2022 Notes
shall have such other terms, conditions and covenants as provided in the form thereof attached as Exhibit A. 
 SECTION 2.04. Terms,
Conditions and Covenants of the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes shall be governed by all the terms, conditions and covenants of the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. In particular, the following provisions
shall be terms of the 2026 Notes: 
 (a) Title and Aggregate Principal Amount. The title of the 2026 Notes shall be as specified in
the Recitals; and the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes shall be as specified in Section 2.01 of this Article II, except as permitted by Sections 304, 305 or 306 of the Original Indenture. 

(b) Stated Maturity. The 2026 Notes shall mature, and the unpaid principal thereon shall be payable, on December 13, 2026 (the
“2026 Maturity Date”), subject to the provisions of the Original Indenture and Articles III and IV below. 

  
 9 








 (c) Interest. The rate per annum at which interest shall be payable on the 2026 Notes
shall be 2.425% (the “2026 Standard Interest Rate”), subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof. Interest on the
2022 Notes shall be payable annually in arrears on each December 13, commencing on December 13, 2017 (each, a “2026 Interest Payment Date”), to the Persons in whose names the applicable 2026 Notes are registered in the Security
Register applicable to the 2026 Notes at the close of business on the immediately preceding November 28 prior to the applicable 2026 Interest Payment Date regardless of whether such day is a Business Day (each, a “2026 Regular Record
Date”). Interest on the 2026 Notes shall 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
2026 Notes (or December 13, 2016, if no interest has been paid on the 2026 Notes), to, but excluding, the next scheduled 2026 Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of
the International Capital Market Association. Interest on the 2026 Notes shall accrue from and including December 13, 2016. If a 2026 Interest Payment Date or the 2026 Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment
of interest or principal, as applicable, will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that 2026 Interest Payment Date or
the 2026 Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date the payment is made. Interest payments will include accrued interest from and including the date of issue or from and including the last date in respect to which interest has been paid, as the
case may be, to, but excluding, the 2026 Interest Payment Date or the 2026 Maturity Date, as the case may be. 
 (d) Registration and
Form. The 2026 Notes shall be issuable as Registered Securities as provided in Section 2.02 of this Article II, subject to Article V. The 2026 Notes shall be issued and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of €100,000 and
integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. All payments of principal, premium, Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the 2026 Notes shall be made by the Company in immediately available funds and shall be payable
in euro and, subject to Section 2.11(c) hereof, not any other currency. 
 (e) Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The provisions
for defeasance in Section 1302 of the Original Indenture, and the provisions for covenant defeasance in Section 1303 of the Original Indenture, shall be applicable to the 2026 Notes. 

(f) Further Issues. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Original Indenture, the Company may, from time
to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holders, create and issue further debt securities having the same ranking and terms and conditions as the 2026 Notes in all respects, except for issue date and, in some cases, the public offering
price and the first Interest Payment Date. Additional 2026 Notes issued in this manner shall be consolidated with, and shall form a single series with, the previously outstanding 2026 Notes; provided that if such additional 2026 Notes are not
fungible with the previously issued 2026 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional 2026 Notes will have a separate ISIN number. Notice of the issuance of any such additional 2026 Notes shall be given to the Trustee and a new
supplemental indenture shall be executed in connection therewith. No 

  
 10 








 
such additional 2026 Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2026 Notes. 

(g) Other Terms, Conditions and Covenants. The 2026 Notes shall have such other terms, conditions and covenants as provided in the form
thereof attached as Exhibit B. 
 SECTION 2.05. Ranking. The Notes shall be general unsecured obligations of the Company. The
Notes shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness of the Company. 

SECTION 2.06. Sinking Fund. The Notes will not be entitled to any sinking fund. 

SECTION 2.07. Interest Rate Adjustment Based on Rating Events. 

(a) The interest rate payable on the Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of a Step Up Rating Change or a Step
Down Rating Change, as the case may be, as follows: 
 (i) Subject to paragraph (a)(iii) below, from and including the first Interest
Payment Date on or after the date of a Step Up Rating Change in respect of a series of Notes, if any, the applicable interest rate payable on such series of Notes shall be increased by 1.250% per annum to, in the case of the 2022 Notes,
2.664% per annum and, in the case of the 2026 Notes, 3.675% per annum. 
 (ii) Subject to paragraph (a)(iii) below, in the event
of a Step Down Rating Change in respect of a series of Notes, if any, following a Step Up Rating Change in respect of the same series of Notes, from and including the first Interest Payment Date on or after the date of such Step Down Rating Change,
the applicable interest rate payable on such series of Notes shall be decreased by 1.250% per annum to the applicable Standard Interest Rate (in the case of the 2022 Notes, 1.414% per annum and, in the case of the 2026 Notes,
2.425% per annum). 
 (iii) If a Step Up Rating Change and, subsequently, a Step Down Rating Change, occur in respect of the same
series of Notes during the same period beginning on the day following an Interest Payment Date (or beginning on December 13, 2016, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, and including, the next Interest Payment Date, the applicable rate
of interest payable on such Notes shall neither be increased nor decreased as a result of either such event. 
 (b) The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a credit rating for the Notes from each of Moody’s and S&P. In the event that either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to, or fails to, rate the Notes publicly for reasons outside of the
Company’s control, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating of the Notes from a substitute Rating Agency. 

  
 11 








 (c) The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent promptly following the occurrence
of a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change in respect of a series of Notes, but such notice shall in any event be given no later than the fifth Business Day following the occurrence of the Step Up Rating Change or the Step Down Rating
Change. The Trustee or the Paying Agent may provide a copy of such notice to any Holder upon written request. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any
other provision contained herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times that the applicable rate of interest on the Notes may be adjusted pursuant to a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change during the applicable term of the
Notes, provided that at no time during the term of either series of Notes will the applicable rate of interest be lower than the applicable Standard Interest Rate nor higher than the applicable Standard Interest Rate plus 1.250% per annum. 

SECTION 2.08. Payment of Additional Amounts. All payments in respect of each series of Notes shall be made without withholding or
deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, imposed or levied by the United States, any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority thereof or therein
(collectively, “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such withholding or deduction of Taxes is required by law, the Company shall pay to each Holder who is not a United States Person (as defined below) such
additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) on such series of Notes as are necessary in order that the net payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such series of Notes to such Holder, after such withholding or
deduction, will not be less than the amount provided in such series of Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply: 

(1) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, 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, being considered as: 

(a) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent
establishment in the United States or having or having had a qualified business unit which has the Dollar as its functional currency; 

(b) having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of
the ownership of such Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights thereunder) or being considered as having such relationship, including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States; 

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

  
 12 








 (d) being or having been a “10-percent shareholder” of the Company
as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury regulations thereunder or any successor provision; or 

(e) being a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; 

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

(3) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other Person to comply with
certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes, if compliance is required by statute or
regulation of the United States, any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from Taxes; 

(4) to any Taxes that are imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or the Paying Agent (as the case may be)
from the payment; 
 (5) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or
administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

(6) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar
Taxes; 
 (7) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and that is required to be
made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income (the “Directive”); 

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

(9) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of such Note, where presentation
is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

(10) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code,
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, and related Treasury regulations and pronouncements, or any successor provisions and any regulations or official law, agreement or interpretations thereof implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or

 (11) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10). 

  
 13 








 The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or
administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to such Notes. Except as specifically provided in this Section 2.08, the Company shall not be required to make any payment for any Taxes of whatever nature imposed by any government or a
political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for the determination, verification or calculation of any Additional
Amounts. 
 As used in this Section 2.08 and in Section 3.02 hereof, the term “United States” means the United States of
America (including the states and the District of Columbia and any political subdivision thereof), and the term “United States Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, including an entity treated as a corporation for United States income tax purposes, or any estate or trust the income of which is
subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source. 
 Whenever in the Indenture (including the Notes) there is
referenced, in any, context, the payment of amounts based on the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, or any other amount payable thereunder or with respect thereto, such reference will be deemed to include the
payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Section 2.08 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 

SECTION 2.09. Paying Agent and Security Registrar  

The Company shall maintain a Paying Agent authorized by the Company to pay the principal of or any premium or interest on any Notes on behalf
of Company. The Company hereby authorizes Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch to initially act as the Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain a Security Registrar for the purpose of registering and transferring the Notes. The Company hereby
authorizes Elavon Financial Services DAC to initially act as Security Registrar. Principal and interest on the Notes will be payable, and the Notes will be transferable or exchangeable, at the Paying Agent Office. Payment of interest on the Notes
may be made at the Company’s option by check mailed to the Holders. 
 Payments (including principal, premium and interest) with
respect to the Notes if in certificated form will be payable, and the Notes will be transferable or exchangeable, at the Paying Agent Office, or, at the Company’s option, by check mailed to the Holders thereof at the respective addresses set
forth in the Security Register, provided that all payments (including principal, premium and interest) on Notes in certificated form, for which the Holders thereof have given wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent at least ten Business Days
prior to the applicable payment date, will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof, subject, in each case, to surrender of the Notes to the Paying Agent in the case of
payments of principal or premium. 
 No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange. 

  
 14 








 Upon notice to the Trustee, the Company may change the Paying Agent or Security Registrar;
provided, however, that, for so long as the Notes are outstanding and the provisions of the Directive continue to have effect, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union that is not obligated to
withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the Directive, or any law implementing or complying with or introduced in order to conform to such Directive (so long as there is such a member state). 

SECTION 2.10. Authenticating Agent. 

(a) For the purposes of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture only, the third sentence of the first paragraph of Section 614 of the Original
Indenture entitled “Appointment of Authenticating Agent” is hereby amended and restated as follows: 
 Each Authenticating Agent
shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be an organization organized and doing business under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent. 

(b) Pursuant to Section 614 of the Original Indenture, the Trustee hereby appoints Elavon Financial Services DAC as an Authenticating
Agent to authenticate and deliver the Notes on behalf of the Trustee. Elavon Financial Services DAC as an Authenticating Agent is acceptable to the Company. 

SECTION 2.11. Issuance in Euro. 

(a) Initial Holders will be required to pay for the Notes in euro, and principal, including any payments made upon any redemption or
repurchase of the Notes, premium, if any, and interest payments in respect of the Notes will be payable in euro. 
 (b) Distributions of
principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Global Notes will be credited in euro to the extent received by Euroclear or Clearstream from the Paying Agent to the cash accounts of Euroclear or Clearstream customers in accordance with
the relevant system’s rules and procedures. 
 (c) If euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or
other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within
the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted to
Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day before that payment is due, or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date
that payment is due. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting
conversions or otherwise handling re-denominations.

any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 above that amount.

ARTICLE V 
 TRANSFER AND
EXCHANGE 
 SECTION 5.01. Transfer and Exchange. For the purposes of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture only, Section 203(1)
of the Original Indenture is replaced in its entirety by the following: 
 “SECTION 203. Transfer and Exchange.

 (1) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. A Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the
Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository, or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. Elavon
Financial Services DAC initially has been appointed to act as Depository with respect to the Global Securities. Global Securities shall be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Securities if: 

(A) the Company has been notified that both Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV have been closed for business for
a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or have announced an intention permanently to cease business or have in fact done so and no successor clearing system is available; 

(B) the Company, in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depository, notifies the Trustee and Paying Agent
in writing that the Global Securities (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Securities; or 
 (C)
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under this Indenture. 
 Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events
in (A) or (B) above, the Company will notify the Trustee in writing that, upon surrender by the Participants of their interest in such Global Securities, Definitive Securities will be issued to each Person that such Participants and the
Depository identify as being the beneficial owner of the related Securities. Beneficial interests in Global Securities may be exchanged for Definitive Securities of the same series upon request but only upon at least 30 days’ prior written
notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with customary procedures. Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 304, 305 and 306 hereof. Except as otherwise
provided above in this Section 203, every Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 203 or Sections 304, 305 or 306 hereof, shall be
authenticated and 

  
 19 








 
delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Security other than as provided in this Section 203(1). 

In all cases, Definitive Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Security or beneficial interest therein will be
registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV (in accordance with their customary procedures).”

USB NOMINEES (UK) LIMITED, as nominee of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, or registered assigns, the principal sum of
€[            ] euros (or such other lesser or greater amount set forth on the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note attached hereto) on December 13, 2022, and to
pay interest thereon from December 13, 2016 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually on December 13 each year, commencing on December 13, 2017, at the rate of
1.414% per annum (the “Standard Interest Rate”), subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change, as the case may be, set forth below, until the principal hereof is paid or
made available for payment. 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 (as defined on the reverse hereof) (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the November 28 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Interest on the Notes of this series shall 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 December 13, 2016, if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International
Capital Market Association. 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 Holder of Notes of this series 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 on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 If an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the related payment of interest or principal, as applicable, will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
that Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date the payment is made. Interest payments will include accrued interest from and including the date of issue or from and including the last date in respect to which
interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. 

Payments of principal, interest and Additional Amounts (as defined on the reverse hereof), if any, in respect of the Notes of this series will
be made to Euroclear, Clearstream, such nominee or such Depository, as the case may be, as Holder thereof. 
 The Company shall maintain a
Paying Agent authorized by the Company to pay the principal of or any premium or interest on any Notes of this series on behalf of Company. Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch will initially act as the Paying Agent. The Company shall also
maintain a Security Registrar for the purpose of registering and transferring the Notes of this series. Elavon Financial Services DAC will initially act as Security Registrar.

Principal and interest on the Notes of this series will be payable at the Paying Agent Office in immediately available funds and shall be payable in euro and, except as set forth below, not any
other currency. The Notes of this series will be transferable or exchangeable at the Paying Agent Office. For the purposes hereof, “euro” means the single currency introduced at the third stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union
pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as amended from time to time. Payment of interest on the Notes of this series may be made at the Company’s option by check mailed to the Holders. The Trustee shall appoint and
authorize an Authenticating Agent to authenticate and deliver the Notes of this series on behalf of the Trustee. Elavon Financial Services DAC will initially act as the Authenticating Agent. 

No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the Notes of this series, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange. 
 Initial Holders will be
required to pay for the Notes of this series in euro, and principal, including any payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of the Notes of this series, premium, if any, and interest payments in respect of the Notes of this series will be
payable in euro. Distributions of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes of this series will be credited in euro to the extent received by Euroclear or Clearstream from the Paying Agent to the cash accounts of Euroclear
or Clearstream customers in accordance with the relevant system’s rules and procedures. If euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the euro is no
longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the
Notes of this series will be made in Dollars until euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted to Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second
Business Day before that payment is due, or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date that payment is due. Any payment in respect of the Notes of this
series so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling re-denominations. 

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 or the Authenticating Agent referred to herein by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Note” or “Notes”), issued
and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2009 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented and amended by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of December 13, 2016 (the
“Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of
this series and of the terms upon which the Notes of this series are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to €500,000,000. 

The interest rate payable on the Notes of this series will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of a Step Up Rating Change
or a Step Down Rating Change, as the case may be, as follows: 
 (i) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, from and including the first
Interest Payment Date on or after the date of a Step Up Rating Change in respect of the Notes of this series, if any, the applicable interest rate payable on the Notes shall be increased by 1.250% per annum to 2.664% per annum. 

(ii) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, in the event of a Step Down Rating Change in respect of the Notes of this series, if any, following
a Step Up Rating Change in respect of the Notes, from and including the first Interest Payment Date on or after the date of such Step Down Rating Change, the applicable interest rate payable on the Notes shall be decreased by 1.250% per annum
to the Standard Interest Rate of 1.414% per annum. 
 (iii) If a Step Up Rating Change and, subsequently, a Step Down Rating Change,
occur in respect of the Notes of this series during the same period beginning on the day following an Interest Payment Date (or beginning on December 13, 2016, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, and including, the next Interest
Payment Date, the applicable rate of interest payable on the Notes shall neither be increased nor decreased as a result of either such event. 

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a credit rating for the Notes of this series from each of Moody’s and
S&P. In the event that either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to, or fails to, rate the Notes of this series publicly for reasons outside of the Company’s control, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating
of the Notes from a substitute Rating Agency. 
 The Company will notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent promptly following the occurrence
of a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change in respect of the Notes of 

  

€[                ] 1.414% Note due 2022 

A-6 








 
this series, but such notice will in any event be given no later than the fifth Business Day following the occurrence of the Step Up Rating Change or the Step Down Rating Change. 

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times that the rate of interest on the Notes of
this series may be adjusted pursuant to a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change during the term of the Notes, provided that at no time during the term of the Notes will the rate of interest be lower than the Standard Interest Rate nor
higher than the Standard Interest Rate plus 1.250% per annum. 
 The Notes of this series are redeemable, either in whole at any
time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, prior to the Par Call Date, upon not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior notice transmitted to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed by mail (or with respect to Global
Notes, to the extent permitted or required by applicable Euroclear or Clearstream procedures or regulations, sent electronically), (provided, however, that, if the Company shall have elected pursuant to the Indenture to defease the
entire Indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Defaults with respect to this Note, prior to making such election to redeem the Notes it shall have deposited in trust amounts sufficient to pay the Redemption Price),
on any date prior to their Stated Maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of such Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL(ICMA)) at
the Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below), plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

The Notes of this series are redeemable, either in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, on and after
the Par Call Date, upon not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior notice transmitted to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption
Date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 If less than all of the Notes of this
series are to be redeemed, the Notes of this series to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate or, in the event that the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, beneficial
interests therein shall be selected for redemption by Clearstream and Euroclear in accordance with their respective applicable procedures therefor. If the Notes of this series are listed on any national securities exchange, Euroclear or Clearstream
will select Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if less than all of the Notes of this series are to be redeemed, no Notes of a
principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. 
 “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to
any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), a German government bond whose (a) maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes of this series (assuming, for this
purpose, the Notes mature on the Par Call Date) and (b) principal 

  

€[                ] 1.414% Note due 2022 

A-7 








 
amount is approximately equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes of this series, or if such Independent Investment Banker in its discretion determines that such similar bond is
not in issue, such other German government bond as such Independent Investment Banker may, with the advice of the Reference Bond Dealers (as defined below), determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005
being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes of this series to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, would be equal to the gross redemption yield
on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by the Independent Investment Banker. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Bond Dealers that the Company appoints in good faith as the
Independent Investment Banker from time to time. 
 “Par Call Date” means November 13, 2022. 

“Reference Bond Dealer” means each of BNP Paribas, HSBC Bank plc and RBC Europe Limited and their respective successors. 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note of this series to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled
payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date for such redemption (assuming, for this purpose, the Note matures on the Par Call Date and that interest payments on the Note will be based on
the Standard Interest Rate or an interest rate equal to the Standard Interest Rate plus 1.250% per annum, as the case may be, whichever is in effect at the time the Company transmits notice to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed);
provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon
to such Redemption Date. 
 In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for
the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 If a Change of Control
Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes of this series pursuant to the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Notes of this series to repurchase all or any part
(in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 above that amount) of that Holder’s Notes of this series at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased
plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. 

All payments in respect of the Notes of this series shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or
future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental 

  

€[                ] 1.414% Note due 2022 

A-8 








 
charges of whatever nature, imposed or levied by the United States, any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority thereof or therein (collectively, “Taxes”), unless such
withholding or deduction is required by law. If such withholding or deduction of Taxes is required by law, the Company will pay to each Holder who is not a United States Person (as defined below) such additional amounts (“Additional
Amounts”) on Notes of this series as are necessary in order that the net payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes to such Holder, after such withholding or deduction, will not be less than the amount provided
in such series of Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply: 

(1) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, 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, being considered as: 

(a) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent
establishment in the United States or having or having had a qualified business unit which has the Dollar as its functional currency; 

(b) having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of
the ownership of such Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights thereunder) or being considered as having such relationship, including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States; 

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

(d) being or having been a “10-percent shareholder” of the Company as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury regulations thereunder or any successor provision; or 

(e) being a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; 

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

(3) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other Person to comply with
certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes, if compliance is required by statute or
regulation of the United States, any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from Taxes; 

  

€[                ] 1.414% Note due 2022 

A-9 








 (4) to any Taxes that are imposed otherwise than by withholding by the
Company or the Paying Agent (as the case may be) from the payment; 
 (5) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed
but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

(6) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar
Taxes; 
 (7) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and that is required to be
made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income (the “Directive”); 

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

(9) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of such Note, where presentation
is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

(10) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code,
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, and related Treasury regulations and pronouncements, or any successor provisions and any regulations or official law, agreement or interpretations thereof implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or

 (11) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10). 

The Notes of this series are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation
applicable to such Notes. Except as specifically provided herein, the Company will not be required to make any payment for any Taxes of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government
or political subdivision. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying agent shall have any responsibility or liability for the determination, verification or calculation of any Additional Amounts. 

As used herein, the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the states and the District of Columbia and
any political subdivision thereof), and the term “United States Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States, including an entity treated as a corporation for United States income tax purposes, or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its
source. 
 Whenever in the Indenture (including in this Note) there is referenced, in any context, the payment of amounts based on the
payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes of this series, or any other amount payable thereunder or with respect thereto, such 

  

€[                ] 1.414% Note due 2022 

A-10 








 
reference will be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts as described hereunder to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect
thereof. 
 The Notes of this series are redeemable in whole, but not in part, at any time, at the option of the Company, upon not less than
30 days and not more than 60 days prior notice transmitted to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of this series to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, plus accrued and
unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof (or any taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or

of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time
Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such
series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

the Notes of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee
and offered the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of
any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference
herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the times, place

Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to USB NOMINEES (UK) LIMITED, as nominee of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, or
registered assigns, the principal sum of €[            ] euros (or such other lesser or greater amount set forth on the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note attached
hereto) on December 13, 2026, and to pay interest thereon from December 13, 2016 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually on December 13 each year, commencing on
December 13, 2017, at the rate of 2.425% per annum (the “Standard Interest Rate”), subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change, as the case may be, set forth below,
until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. 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 (as
defined on the reverse hereof) (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the November 28 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next
preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes of this series shall 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 December 13, 2016, if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as
defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. 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 Holder of Notes
of this series 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 on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon
such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 If an Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of interest or principal, as applicable, will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount
so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date the payment is made. Interest payments will include accrued interest from and including the date of issue or from and including
the last date in respect to which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. 

Payments of principal, interest and Additional Amounts (as defined on the reverse hereof), if any, in respect of the Notes of this series will
be made to Euroclear, Clearstream, such nominee or such Depository, as the case may be, as Holder thereof. 
 The Company shall maintain a
Paying Agent authorized by the Company to pay the principal of or any premium or interest on any Notes of this series on behalf of Company. Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch will initially act as the Paying Agent. The Company shall also
maintain a Security Registrar for the purpose of registering and transferring 

  

€[                ] 2.425% Note due 2026

the Notes of this series. Elavon Financial Services DAC will initially act as Security Registrar. Principal and interest on the Notes of this series will be payable at the Paying Agent Office in
immediately available funds and shall be payable in euro and, except as set forth below, not any other currency. The Notes of this series will be transferable or exchangeable at the Paying Agent Office. For the purposes hereof, “euro”
means the single currency introduced at the third stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as amended from time to time. Payment of interest on the Notes of this series may be
made at the Company’s option by check mailed to the Holders. The Trustee shall appoint and authorize an Authenticating Agent to authenticate and deliver the Notes of this series on behalf of the Trustee. Elavon Financial Services DAC will
initially act as the Authenticating Agent. 
 No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the Notes of this series, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange. 

Initial Holders will be required to pay for the Notes of this series in euro, and principal, including any payments made upon any redemption
or repurchase of the Notes of this series, premium, if any, and interest payments in respect of the Notes of this series will be payable in euro. Distributions of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes of this series will
be credited in euro to the extent received by Euroclear or Clearstream from the Paying Agent to the cash accounts of Euroclear or Clearstream customers in accordance with the relevant system’s rules and procedures. If euro is unavailable to the
Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the
settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes of this series will be made in Dollars until euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such
circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted to Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day before that payment is due, or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of
the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date that payment is due. Any payment in respect of the Notes of this series so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor
the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling re-denominations. 

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 or the Authenticating Agent referred to herein by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Note” or “Notes”), issued
and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2009 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented and amended by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of December 13, 2016 (the
“Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of
this series and of the terms upon which the Notes of this series are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to €500,000,000. 

The interest rate payable on the Notes of this series will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of a Step Up Rating Change
or a Step Down Rating Change, as the case may be, as follows: 
 (i) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, from and including the first
Interest Payment Date on or after the date of a Step Up Rating Change in respect of the Notes of this series, if any, the applicable interest rate payable on the Notes shall be increased by 1.250% per annum to 3.675% per annum. 

(ii) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, in the event of a Step Down Rating Change in respect of the Notes of this series, if any, following
a Step Up Rating Change in respect of the Notes, from and including the first Interest Payment Date on or after the date of such Step Down Rating Change, the applicable interest rate payable on the Notes shall be decreased by 1.250% per annum
to the Standard Interest Rate of 2.425% per annum. 
 (iii) If a Step Up Rating Change and, subsequently, a Step Down Rating Change,
occur in respect of the Notes of this series during the same period beginning on the day following an Interest Payment Date (or beginning on December 13, 2016, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, and including, the next Interest
Payment Date, the applicable rate of interest payable on the Notes shall neither be increased nor decreased as a result of either such event. 

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a credit rating for the Notes of this series from each of Moody’s and
S&P. In the event that either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to, or fails to, rate the Notes of this series publicly for reasons outside of the Company’s control, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating
of the Notes from a substitute Rating Agency. 
 The Company will notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent promptly following the occurrence
of a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change in respect of the Notes of 

  

€[                ] 2.425% Note due 2026 

B-6 








 
this series, but such notice will in any event be given no later than the fifth Business Day following the occurrence of the Step Up Rating Change or the Step Down Rating Change. 

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times that the rate of interest on the Notes of
this series may be adjusted pursuant to a Step Up Rating Change or a Step Down Rating Change during the term of the Notes, provided that at no time during the term of the Notes will the rate of interest be lower than the Standard Interest Rate nor
higher than the Standard Interest Rate plus 1.250% per annum. 
 The Notes of this series are redeemable, either in whole at any
time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, prior to the Par Call Date, upon not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior notice transmitted to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed by mail (or with respect to Global
Notes, to the extent permitted or required by applicable Euroclear or Clearstream procedures or regulations, sent electronically), (provided, however, that, if the Company shall have elected pursuant to the Indenture to defease the
entire Indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Defaults with respect to this Note, prior to making such election to redeem the Notes it shall have deposited in trust amounts sufficient to pay the Redemption Price),
on any date prior to their Stated Maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of such Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL(ICMA)) at
the Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below), plus 35 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

The Notes of this series are redeemable, either in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, on and after
the Par Call Date, upon not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior notice transmitted to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption
Date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 If less than all of the Notes of this
series are to be redeemed, the Notes of this series to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate or, in the event that the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, beneficial
interests therein shall be selected for redemption by Clearstream and Euroclear in accordance with their respective applicable procedures therefor. If the Notes of this series are listed on any national securities exchange, Euroclear or Clearstream
will select Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if less than all of the Notes of this series are to be redeemed, no Notes of a
principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. 
 “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to
any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), a German government bond whose (a) maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes of this series (assuming, for this
purpose, the Notes mature on the Par Call Date) and (b) principal 

  

€[                ] 2.425% Note due 2026 

B-7 








 
amount is approximately equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes of this series, or if such Independent Investment Banker in its discretion determines that such similar bond is
not in issue, such other German government bond as such Independent Investment Banker may, with the advice of the Reference Bond Dealers (as defined below), determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005
being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes of this series to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, would be equal to the gross redemption yield
on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by the Independent Investment Banker. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Bond Dealers that the Company appoints in good faith as the
Independent Investment Banker from time to time. 
 “Par Call Date” means September 13, 2026. 

“Reference Bond Dealer” means each of BNP Paribas, HSBC Bank plc and RBC Europe Limited and their respective successors. 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note of this series to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled
payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date for such redemption (assuming, for this purpose, the Note matures on the Par Call Date and that interest payments on the Note will be based on
the Standard Interest Rate or an interest rate equal to the Standard Interest Rate plus 1.250% per annum, as the case may be, whichever is in effect at the time the Company transmits notice to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed);
provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon
to such Redemption Date. 
 In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for
the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 If a Change of Control
Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes of this series pursuant to the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Notes of this series to repurchase all or any part
(in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 above that amount) of that Holder’s Notes of this series at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased
plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. 

All payments in respect of the Notes of this series shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or
future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental 

  

€[                ] 2.425% Note due 2026 

B-8 








 
charges of whatever nature, imposed or levied by the United States, any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority thereof or therein (collectively, “Taxes”), unless such
withholding or deduction is required by law. If such withholding or deduction of Taxes is required by law, the Company will pay to each Holder who is not a United States Person (as defined below) such additional amounts (“Additional
Amounts”) on Notes of this series as are necessary in order that the net payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes to such Holder, after such withholding or deduction, will not be less than the amount provided
in such series of Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply: 

(1) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, 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, being considered as: 

(a) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent
establishment in the United States or having or having had a qualified business unit which has the Dollar as its functional currency; 

(b) having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of
the ownership of such Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights thereunder) or being considered as having such relationship, including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States; 

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

(d) being or having been a “10-percent shareholder” of the Company as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury regulations thereunder or any successor provision; or 

(e) being a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; 

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

(3) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other Person to comply with
certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes, if compliance is required by statute or
regulation of the United States, any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from Taxes; 

  

€[                ] 2.425% Note due 2026 

B-9 








 (4) to any Taxes that are imposed otherwise than by withholding by the
Company or the Paying Agent (as the case may be) from the payment; 
 (5) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed
but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

(6) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar
Taxes; 
 (7) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and that is required to be
made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income (the “Directive”); 

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

(9) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of such Note, where presentation
is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

(10) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code,
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, and related Treasury regulations and pronouncements, or any successor provisions and any regulations or official law, agreement or interpretations thereof implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or

 (11) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10).

any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
