ARTICLE I 
 Issuance of
Securities 
 SECTION 1.1. Issuance of Notes; Principal Amount; Maturity; Title.  

(1) On April 10, 2019, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate, the Initial Notes
substantially in the form set forth in Section 3.2 below, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Base Indenture and this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture,
and with such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with applicable tax laws or the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may,
consistently herewith, be determined by the Officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by the execution of such Notes. 
 (2) The Initial
Notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of €600,000,000 and shall mature on April 10, 2029 (the “Stated Maturity”), unless the Notes are redeemed prior to that date as
described in Section 5.1. The aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed €600,000,000, except for Notes issued, authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in
lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, issue additional Notes hereunder as part of the same series and on the same terms and conditions (and having the same Guarantors) and with the same CUSIP numbers, ISIN numbers and Common Codes as
the Initial Notes, but such additional Notes may be offered at a different offering price or have a different issue date, initial interest accrual or initial interest payment date (“Additional Notes”); provided that if any
Additional Notes are issued at a price that causes such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations of the
United States Department of Treasury thereunder (the “Code”), such Additional Notes shall not have the same CUSIP number, ISIN number or Common Code as the Initial Notes. 

  
  

					
		  	2	  	
			
	  















 (3) The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum
denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (4) Pursuant to the terms hereof and Sections
201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby creates a series of Securities designated as the “1.500% Senior Notes due 2029” of the Company (as amended or supplemented from time to time, that are issued under the Indenture,
including both the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes, if any, the “Notes”), which Notes shall be deemed “Securities” for all purposes under the Base Indenture. 

SECTION 1.2. Form of Payment.  

(1) Interest on a Note will accrue at the per annum rate of 1.500% (the “Note Interest Rate”), from and including the date
specified on the face of such Note to, but excluding, the date on which the principal thereof is paid, deemed paid, or made available for payment and, in each case, will be computed by the Company 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 April 10, 2019 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. 

(2) The Company shall pay interest on the Notes annually in arrears on April 10 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”), commencing April 10, 2020. 
 (3) Interest shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders of
the Notes at the close of business on the Regular Record Date. 
 (4) Principal of, the Redemption Price (if any), and interest and
additional amounts (if any), on the Notes, will be payable in euro, provided, that if on or after the date of Company’s offering memorandum, dated April 2, 2019, the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond its 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 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 most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date, or in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such
exchange rate, such rate as determined in the Company’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the euro. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an


  
  

					
		  	3	  	
			
	  















 
Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any
reference elsewhere in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or the Notes to payments being made in euro notwithstanding shall be made in U.S. dollars to the extent set forth in this Section 1.2(4). 

(5) Amounts due on the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date of the Notes will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Paying
Agent, initially at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL. The Company shall make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest or the Repurchase Price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event in respect of the Notes in book-entry
form to the Paying Agent in immediately available funds, while disbursement of such payments to owners of beneficial interests in Notes in book-entry form will be made in accordance with the procedures of the Paying Agent in effect from time to
time. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts, except that the Company shall be required to maintain a Paying
Agent in each Place of Payment for the Notes. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a Note. However, the Company may require Holders of the Notes to pay any taxes or other governmental
charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of Notes. 
 (6) If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, or earlier Redemption Date
or Repurchase Price Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company shall make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or Repurchase Price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event on the
next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date or Repurchase
Price Payment Date, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day. 
 SECTION 1.3. Relationship with Base Indenture.
 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Twelfth
Supplemental Indenture. However, to the extent any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its “1.500% Senior Notes due
2029” (herein called the “Notes”), issued under a Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 10, 2019 (the “Twelfth Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors, The Bank of New York
Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee) and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent (herein called the “Paying Agent”), to an indenture, dated
as of August 20, 2009 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Base Indenture” and herein with the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, collectively, the
“Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the
Paying Agent, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed €600,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount, except for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered. The Twelfth Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that Additional Notes may be issued thereunder. 

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event of a
conflict or inconsistency between this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern. 
 Optional Redemption.
Prior to January 10, 2029, the Company may at its option at any time or from time to time redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior notice, at a redemption price in cash equal to the greater of (i) 100%
of the aggregate principal amount of any Notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on any Notes being redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption
Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at a rate equal to the applicable Bund Rate plus 25 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. On or
after January 10, 2029, the Company may at its option at any time or from time to time redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior notice, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate
principal amount of any Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

Redemption for Tax Reasons. At any time prior to Stated Maturity, the Company may at its option redeem all, but not in part, of the
Notes upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior notice, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount, together 

  
  

					
		  	20	  	
			
	  















 
with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but not including, 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 of or taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendment to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or
rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the Company’s offering memorandum, dated April 2, 2019, the Company has become or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by
the Company, there is a substantial probability that the Company will become, obligated to pay additional amounts as described in Section 5.3 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes. 

Change of Control Repurchase Event. In the event of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its option
to redeem the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture. 
 Global Security. If
this Note is a Global Security, then, in the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Note, including an exchange, transfer, redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Note in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary,
shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. 
 Defaults
and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment of the amount of principal so declared
due and payable, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes shall terminate. 

No Holder of Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder (except actions for payment of overdue principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on such Notes in accordance with
its terms), unless (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default, specifying an Event of Default, as required under the Indenture; (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture; (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to
the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the Trustee has failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity; and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during

such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, it being understood and intended that no one or
more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or

premium, if any, or interest hereon, on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, 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 or such other Note. Certain modifications or amendments to the Indenture require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair (without the consent of the
Holder hereof) the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and principal amount. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, at the option of the
Holder, this Note may be exchanged for one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and principal amount, upon surrender of this Note at such office or agency. Upon such surrender by the Holder, the Company shall execute,

no later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if any of the Credit Parties is acting as Paying Agent, such Credit Party will segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003 of the Base Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date or as herein otherwise expressly provided)
accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, other than the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption which are owned by any of the Credit Parties and have been delivered by such Credit Party to the
Trustee for cancellation. In addition, upon receipt of a written request from the Company, the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
Redemption Price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If any Note called for redemption is converted, any
money deposited with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Note shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Note or any Predecessor Note to receive interest as provided in the last
paragraph of Section 307 of the Base Indenture or in the terms of such Note) be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. 

SECTION 5.2. Redemption for Tax Reasons. 

The Notes will be redeemable in whole, but not in part, at the Company’s option on not more than 60 days’ notice and not less than
30 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but not including, 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 of or taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendment to, an official position regarding the application or
interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the Company’s offering memorandum, dated April 2, 2019, the Company has become or, based upon a
written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, there is a substantial probability that the Company will become, obligated to pay additional amounts as described in Section 5.3 with respect to the Notes. 

  
  

					
		  	26	  	
			
	  















 SECTION 5.3. Additional Amounts. 

(1) All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or
on account of, any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of whatsoever nature required to be deducted or withheld by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, unless
such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event any withholding or deduction on payments in respect of the Notes for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge is required by the United States
or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, the Company will pay such additional amounts on the Notes as will result in receipt by each beneficial owner of a Note that is not a U.S. Person of such amounts (after all such
withholding or deduction, including on any additional amounts) as would have been received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Company will not be required, however, to make any payment of additional
amounts for or on account of: 
 (i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for (1) the
existence of any present or former connection (other than a connection arising solely from the ownership of a Note or the receipt of payments in respect of such Note) between a Holder of a Note (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder
holds such Note), or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, that Holder or beneficial owner (if that Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the
United States, including that Holder or beneficial owner, or that fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor, being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident of the United States or being or having been
engaged in trade or business or present in the United States or having had a permanent establishment in the United States or (2) the presentation of a Note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the later of the date on which that
payment becomes due and payable and the date on which payment is duly provided for; 
 (ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer,
capital gains, excise, personal property, wealth or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
 (iii) any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign tax exempt organization or a personal holding company with respect
to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; 
 (iv) any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deducting from payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Notes; 

  
  

					
		  	27	  	
			
	  















 (v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying
Agent from any payment of principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Note if that payment can be made without withholding by any other Paying Agent; 

(vi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure of a beneficial owner or any
Holder of Notes to comply with a request to satisfy certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of the beneficial owner or any Holder
of the Notes that such beneficial owner or Holder is legally able to deliver (including, but not limited to, the requirement to provide Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successor thereto, and including, without limitation, any documentation requirement under an applicable income
tax treaty); 
 (vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on interest received by (1) a 10-percent shareholder (as defined in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company, (2) a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Company within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of
the Code, or (3) a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, to the extent such tax, assessment or other governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the beneficial owner’s status as described
in clauses (1) through (3) of this clause (vii); 
 (viii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld or
deducted under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor version of such Sections that is substantively comparable) (“FATCA”), any regulations or other guidance thereunder, or any agreement (including any
intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith; or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement in respect of FATCA; or 

(ix) any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above. 

(2) In addition, the Company will not be required to make any payment of additional amounts to any beneficial owner or Holder of Notes who is
a fiduciary or partnership to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to that fiduciary or a member of that partnership or a beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to the payment of those additional amounts had that
beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the beneficial owner of those Notes. 
 (3) In this Section 5.3, “U.S.
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, any state of the
United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable U.S. Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income
taxation regardless of its source. 

  
  

					
		  	28	  	
			
	  















 (4) Any reference in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, or in any Note, to any amounts in
respect of the Notes shall be deemed to also refer to any additional amounts that may be payable under this Section 5.3 to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 

ARTICLE VI 
 Particular
Covenants 
 SECTION 6.1. Liens. 

The Credit Parties shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any
indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective Subsidiaries (to the extent of their
ownership of such voting stock or profit participating equity interests) or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or any substantial part of the business of any of such Subsidiaries, without
providing that the Notes (together with, if the Credit Parties shall so determine, any other indebtedness of, or guarantee by, the Credit Parties ranking equally with the Notes and existing as of the closing of the offering of the Notes or
thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other indebtedness secured by such pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any such entities for so long
as such other indebtedness is so secured. This Section 6.1 shall not limit the ability of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or other obligations secured by liens on assets other than the voting stock or profit
participating equity interests of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 6.2. Obligation to Offer to Repurchase
Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.  
 (1) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has
exercised its option to redeem the Notes pursuant to Article V, the Company shall make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part of that Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a repurchase price
in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Repurchase Price”). 

(2) In connection with any Change of Control related to a Change of Control Repurchase Event and any particular reduction in the rating on the
Notes, the Company shall request from the Rating Agencies each such Rating Agency’s written confirmation that such 

  
  

					
		  	29	  	
			
	  















 
reduction in the rating on the Notes was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control
(whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of any Below Investment Grade Rating Event). The Company shall promptly deliver an officers’ certificate to the Trustee certifying as to whether or not such
confirmation has been received or denied. 
 (3) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s
option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall give notice to each Holder of Notes, with a written copy to the Trustee. Such notice shall state: 

(i) a description of the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event;

 (ii) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.2; 

(iii) the Repurchase Price and the date on which the Repurchase Price will be paid, which date shall be a Business Day that is
no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Repurchase Price Payment Date”); and 

(iv) if the notice is given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, a statement that the offer to purchase
is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. 
 (4) The
Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company
shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict. 

(5) On the Repurchase Price Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer on the
Repurchase Price Payment Date; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Repurchase Price in respect of
all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 

  
  

					
		  	30	  	
			
	  















 (iii) 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. 
 The Paying
Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Repurchase Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate (if applicable) and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder of Notes
properly tendered a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

 (6) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control
Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes such an offer in respect of the Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided under Section 1104 of the Base Indenture; provided that the Company has not failed to pay the Redemption
Price on the Redemption Date. 
 SECTION 6.3. Financial Reports  

Section 704 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the reports, information, and documents delivered under this Section 6.3. 

(1) For so long as the Partnership is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall
provide (or cause its Affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), within 15 days after the Partnership files the same with the
Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Partnership may
file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Trustee may conclusively presume, and shall incur no liability in such presumption, that the Partnership has not filed any such reports, information,
documents and other reports with the Commission that are not available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system) unless and until it shall have received written notice from the Company to
the contrary. 
 (2) For so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish to the
Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act and, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval System (or successor system), such information for the Partnership (as if such rule 

  
  

					
		  	31	  	
			
	  















 
applied to it); provided, however, that if any time the Partnership no longer directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties or guarantees the Notes, such information shall be
provided for either (i) the Credit Parties on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole or (ii) any Person that directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties and guarantees the Notes (in each case, as if such rule applied
to such Person). The Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make the above information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 7.2 to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 In
addition, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, waive compliance with the Credit Parties’ covenants described under Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 of
this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and Article VIII of the Base Indenture.

Defeasance 
 SECTION 8.1.
Covenant Defeasance.

any reference to Section 1303 in the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 8.1. 
 Upon the
Company’s exercise of its option, if any, to have this Section 8.1 applied to the Notes, or if this Section 8.1 shall otherwise apply to the Notes, (1) the Company and the Guarantors shall be released from their respective
obligations and any covenants provided pursuant to Article VI of this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and Section 301(18), Section 801, Section 901(1) or Section 901(12) and Article XIV of the Base Indenture for the benefit of the
Holders of such Notes and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 501(4) and Section 501(8) of the Base Indenture shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Notes and the
related Guarantees as provided in this Section 8.1 on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 of the Base Indenture are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such

Section, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of the Base

 SECTION 8.2. Conditions to
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 1304(1) of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the

 The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or
another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 of the Base Indenture and agrees to comply with the provisions of Article XIII of the Base Indenture applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of
making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Notes, (A) money in an amount, or (B) European Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
such Notes on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Notes. 
 SECTION 8.3. Deposited
Money and European Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Section 1305 of the Base Indenture
shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 1305 in the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 8.3. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 of the Base Indenture, all money and European Government Obligations
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section 1305 and 1306 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 of the Base Indenture in respect of any Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and premium, if any, and interest,
but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the European Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 of the Base Indenture or the principal and interest received in respect thereof
other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Notes; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to charge any such tax, fee or other charge to such Holder’s account. 

Anything in Article XIII of the Base Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon Company Request any money or European Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 of the Base Indenture with respect to any Notes which are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited

Section 1306 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 1306 in
the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 8.4. 
 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money in accordance with Article XIII of the Base Indenture with respect to any Notes by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations
under the Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees from which the Company and the Guarantors have been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 of the Base Indenture shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Article XIII of the Base Indenture with respect to such Notes and Guarantees, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 of the Base Indenture with
respect to such Notes and Guarantees in accordance with Article XIII of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that (a) if the Company or the Guarantors makes any payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any such Note
following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights, if any, of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money so held in trust and (b) unless
otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall return all such money and European Government Obligations to the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may
be, promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement of the obligations of the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, has occurred and continues to be in effect. 

SECTION 8.5. Funding with U.S. Government Obligations. 

Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein, to the extent that payments in respect of the Notes are required to be made in U.S.
dollars in accordance with Section 1.2(4) of this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, any reference to “European Government Obligations” in Section 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 of this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture shall instead be deemed to
refer to “U.S. Government Obligations.”

 SECTION 9.1. Appointment of Paying Agent. 

(1) The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, at its office specified in Section 1.2(5) of this Twelfth
Supplemental Indenture as the paying agent solely in respect of the Notes upon the terms and conditions herein contained in this Article IX, and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, accepts such appointment. 

SECTION 9.2. Payment. 

(1) In order to provide for all payments due on the Notes as the same shall become due, the Company (and if the Company fails to do so, then
the Guarantors) shall cause to be paid to the Paying Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. London time on the due date for the payment of each Note, at such bank as the Paying Agent shall previously have notified to the Company, immediately available
funds sufficient to meet all payments due on such Notes. 
 (2) The Company hereby authorizes and directs the Paying Agent, from the amounts
paid to it pursuant to this Section 9.2, to make or cause to be made all payments on the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof. Such payments shall be made to the Holder or Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the
provisions contained in this Article IX, and the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. All interest payments in respect of the Notes will be made by the Paying Agent on the relevant interest payment date (as set forth in the Note) to the Holders
in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business (in London) on the record date specified in the Notes next preceding the interest payment date or such other date as is provided in the Notes. So long as the Notes are represented by a
single global certificate and registered in the name of a nominee of a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, all interest payments on the Notes shall be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds in euro to
such Holder. 
 (3) The Paying Agent, to the extent sufficient funds are available to it, will pay the principal amount of each Note and
premium, if any, on the applicable maturity date or upon any redemption date with respect thereto, together with accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity or such redemption date, if any, upon presentation and surrender of such Note on or after
the maturity date or redemption date thereof to the Paying Agent, or as specified in the Notes. 
 (4) If for any reason the amounts
received by the Paying Agent are insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then due on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall forthwith notify the Company and the Guarantors, and the Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay any such
claims until the Paying Agent has received the full amount of the monies then due and payable in respect of such Notes. If, however, the Paying Agent in its sole discretion shall make payment on the Notes on their maturity or redemption, or payments
of interest or such other payments when otherwise due (it being understood that the Paying Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any such payment) and the amount which should have been 

  
  

					
		  	37	  	
			
	  















 
received is not received on such date, the Company (and if the Company fails to do so, then the Guarantors) agrees forthwith on demand to pay, or procure the payment of, to the Paying Agent, in
addition to the amount which should have been paid hereunder, interest thereon from the day following the date when the amount unpaid should have been received under this Agreement to the date when such amount is actually received (inclusive) at a
rate equal to the cost of the Paying Agent of funding such amount, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum. 

(5) The Paying Agent hereby agrees that: 

(i) it will hold all sums held by it as Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes entitled thereto, or for the benefit of the Trustee, as the case may be, until such sums shall be paid out to such Holders or otherwise as provided in Section 9.2 (6) below and in the Indenture; 

(ii) it will promptly give the Trustee notice of: (x) a Company deposit for the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest
on the Notes, (y) any failure by the Company in the making of any deposit for the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that shall have become payable, and (z) any default by the Company in making any payment
of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes where the same shall be due and payable as provided in the Notes; 
 (iii)
At any time after an Event of Default in respect of the Notes shall have occurred, the Paying Agent shall, if so required by notice in writing given by the Trustee to the Paying Agent: (y) thereafter, until otherwise instructed by the Trustee,
act as agent of the Trustee under the terms of the Indenture; and/or (z) deliver all Notes and all sums, documents and records held by the Paying Agent in respect of the Notes to the Trustee or as the Trustee shall direct in such notice;
provided that such notice shall be deemed not to apply to any document or record which the Paying Agent is obliged not to release by any applicable law or regulation. 

(6) Notwithstanding the foregoing: 

(i) if any Note is presented or surrendered for payment to the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent has delivered a replacement therefor or has
been notified that the same has been replaced, the Paying Agent shall as soon as is reasonably practicable notify the Company in writing of such presentation or surrender and shall not make payment against the same until it is so instructed by the
Company and has received the amount to be so paid; and 
 (ii) the Paying Agent shall cancel each Note against surrender of which it has
made full payment and shall deliver each Note so cancelled by it to the Trustee.

 (7) In no event, shall the Paying Agent be obliged to make any payments hereunder if it has
not received the full amount of any payment. 
 SECTION 9.3. Indemnity. 

(1) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and keep indemnified and hold harmless the Paying Agent (which for
purposes of this Section 9.3 shall be deemed to include its officers, directors, employees and agents) against any losses, liabilities, costs, claims, expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel as provided herein), actions or demands
which it may incur or which may be made against it as a result of or in connection with its appointment or the exercise of its powers and duties under this Article IX or in respect of the Company’s issue of Notes, except to the extent that they
were incurred by the Paying Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Paying Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Paying Agent shall
cooperate in the defense. The Paying Agent may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement without its consent. 

(2) The indemnity contained in this Section shall survive the termination or expiry of this Article IX and the resignation or removal of the
Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 9.4. General. 

(1) In acting under this Article IX, the Paying Agent shall not (a) be under any fiduciary duty towards any person, (b) be
responsible for or liable in respect of the authorization, validity or legality of any Note amount paid by it hereunder (except to the extent that any such liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Paying
Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith), (c) be under any obligation towards any person other than the Trustee and Company or (d) assume any relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder. 

(2) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to treat the registered Holder of any Note as the absolute owner of such Note for all purposes and make
payments thereon accordingly. 
 (3) The Paying Agent may exercise any of its rights or duties hereunder by or through agents or attorneys,
and shall not be responsible for any misconduct thereof, provided such agent or attorney has been appointed with due care. 
 (4) The Paying
Agent shall not exercise any lien, right of set-off or similar claim against any Holder of a Note in respect of moneys payable by it under this Article IX; however, should the Paying Agent elect to make a
payment pursuant to Section 9.2(4), it shall be entitled to appropriate for its own account out of the funds received by it under Section 9.2 an amount equal to the amount so paid by it. 

  
  

					
		  	39	  	
			
	  















 (5) The Paying Agent may (at the reasonable expense of the Company) consult, on any matter
concerning its duties hereunder, any legal adviser or other expert selected by it with due care and, with respect to the selection of other experts, in consultation with the Company, and the Paying Agent shall not be liable in respect of anything
done, or omitted to be done in good faith in accordance with that adviser’s opinion. At any time, the Paying Agent may apply to any duly authorized representative of the Company for a written instruction, and shall not be liable for an action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with such instruction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Paying Agent be entitled to reimbursement of the expenses of such legal adviser or expert with respect
to any matter arising from the Paying Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of any action taken or omitted by the Paying Agent in reliance upon such advice. 

(6) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not be liable in respect of anything done or suffered by it in reliance, on any
notice, document, communication or information reasonably believed in good faith by it to be genuine and given by the Company, Company’s counsel, the Trustee or Trustee’s counsel. 

(7) The Paying Agent shall be obliged to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth herein and in the Notes, and no implied duties
or obligations shall be read into this Article IX or the Notes against the Paying Agent. 
 (8) The Paying Agent shall not be liable to
account to the Company for any interest or other amounts in respect of funds received by it from the Company. Money held by the Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law. 

(9) No section of this Article IX or the Notes shall require the Paying Agent to risk or expend its own funds, or to take any action which in
its reasonable judgment would result in any expense or liability accruing to it. 
 (10) In no event will the Paying Agent be responsible or
liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, civil
or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, severe loss or severe malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Paying Agent will
use best reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 

(11) The Paying Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the covenants of the Company, nor shall it be charged with
knowledge of any default or Event of Default under the Indenture. 

  
  

					
		  	40	  	
			
	  















 (12) Notwithstanding any section of this Article IX to the contrary, the Paying Agent will
not in any event be liable for special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Paying Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of
the form of action. 
 (13) The Paying Agent, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders may become the owners of, or acquire any
interest in, the Notes, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Paying Agent, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company as freely as if it were not the Paying Agent. 

(14) The Paying Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be held liable for refusing to act unless it has received clear payment
instructions from the Company in form reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent. 
 (15) The Company will supply the Paying Agent with the
names, specimen signatures and direct dial phone numbers of its authorized persons as soon as practicable after the date hereof. 
 SECTION
9.5. Change of Paying Agent. 
 (1) Any time, other than on a day during the forty-five (45) day period preceding any payment
date for the Company’s Notes, the Paying Agent may resign by giving at least forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice to the Company; and the Paying Agent’s agency shall be terminated and its duties shall cease upon expiration
of such forty-five (45) days or such lesser period of time as shall be mutually agreeable to the Paying Agent and the Company. At any time, following at least forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice (or such lesser period of time
as shall be mutually agreeable to the Paying Agent and the Company) from the Company, the Paying Agent may be removed from its agency. Such removal shall become effective upon the expiration of the forty-five (45) day or agreed lesser time
period (provided that any such removal shall be immediate in case the Paying Agent shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent), and upon payment to the Paying Agent of all amounts payable to it in connection with its agency. In such event, following
payment in full of its fees and expenses, the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Company, or to the Company’s designated representative, all Notes (if any) and cash (if any) belonging to the Company and, at the Company’s reasonable expense,
shall furnish to the Company, or to the Company’s designated representative, such information regarding the status of the Company’s outstanding Notes reasonably requested by the Company. 

(2) Any corporation into which a Paying Agent may be merged or consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which such Paying Agent is a party or any corporation to which such Paying Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust or agency assets shall on the date on which such merger, consolidation or transfer
becomes effective, become the successor to such Paying Agent under this Article IX without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto; provided that such corporation complies with Section 9.4(3) of
this Article IX and provides the information required by Section 9.8(1) of this Article IX. 

  
  

					
		  	41	  	
			
	  















 SECTION 9.6. Compensation, Fees and Expenses. 

(1) The Company will pay to the Paying Agent the compensation, fees and expenses in respect of the Paying Agent’s services as separately
agreed in writing with the Paying Agent. 
 (2) The Company will also pay all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Paying Agent in connection with its services hereunder, together with any applicable value added tax and stamp, issue, or
other documentary taxes and duties. 
 SECTION 9.7. Notices. 

(1) Each notice or communication under this Article IX shall be made in writing, by fax or otherwise in accordance with this Section 9.7.
Each communication or document to be delivered to any party under this Article IX shall be sent to that party at the fax number or address, and marked for the attention of the person (if any), from time to time designated by that party to the Paying

 In
order to assist the Trustee with its compliance with FATCA, the Company agrees (i) to provide the Trustee and any Paying Agent reasonably available information collected and stored in the Company’s ordinary course of business regarding
Holders of the Notes (solely in their capacity as such) and that is necessary for the Trustee’s and any Paying Agent’s determination of whether it has tax related obligations under FATCA and (ii) that the Trustee and any Paying Agent
shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes to the extent necessary to comply with FATCA. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as obligating
