 ARTICLE 2 

The Notes 
 SECTION 2.01.
Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in Appendix A attached hereto (“Appendix A”) which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to this Indenture (“Exhibit 1”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuer is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Appendix A and Exhibit 1 are part of the terms of this Indenture. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of €100,000 and
integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. 
 SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. Two Officers or, alternatively, a
duly authorized attorney-in-fact shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual signature, which may be provided to the Trustee by facsimile or electronically, in portable document format (“PDF”). 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid
nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on
the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

  
 22 












 The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate and make available for delivery Notes as set forth in Appendix A. 
 The Trustee may appoint an
authentication agent (an “Authentication Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an Authentication Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee
may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authentication Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. The Trustee
hereby initially appoints Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., who accepts such appointment, as its Authentication Agent. The Issuer confirms that such appointment is acceptable to it. 

SECTION 2.03. Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for transfer or exchange (the “Transfer Agent”) or payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall
keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional transfer and paying agents. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Transfer Agent” include any
additional paying agent or transfer agent, as applicable, and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. 
 The Issuer shall
enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. Such agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any
such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuer, the Company or any Wholly
Owned Subsidiary may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent. 
 Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent
and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by this Indenture. The Issuer will not
be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or any Notes during the period after the relevant record date and prior to the relevant interest payment date. The Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes. 

(b) The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, in London, who accepts such appointment, as principal Paying Agent (the
“Principal Paying Agent”). The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, in London, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., in Luxembourg, who each accept such appointments, as Transfer Agents. The Issuer initially
appoints Deutsche Bank 

  
 23 












 
Luxembourg S.A., in Luxembourg, who accepts such appointment, as Registrar. Each time the register is amended or updated, the Registrar shall send a copy of the register to the Issuer who will
keep an updated copy of the register at its registered office (the “Duplicate Register”). In the event of inconsistency between the register and the Duplicate Register, the Duplicate Register shall, for purposes of Luxembourg law,
prevail. 
 (c) Any Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Indenture at any time by giving thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee and Issuer. The Trustee or Issuer may (without prior notice to the Holders) remove any Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to such
Agent (and to the Issuer or Trustee, as applicable). Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the
resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Issuer is unable to replace the resigning Agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, deliver any funds then held hereunder in its
possession to the Trustee, or to a reputable financial institution of good standing appointed by the Agent as successor Agent (subject to the Issuer’s approval), or may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Agent or for other appropriate relief. The reasonable costs and expenses (including its counsels’ reasonable fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Issuer. Upon receipt of the
identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation and delivery of
funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.07. In addition, for so long as the Notes are listed on the
Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer shall publish notice of the change in Agent in a
newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
(www.bourse.lu). 
 SECTION 2.04. Deposits of Money; Paying Agent To Hold Money. Prior to 5:00 p.m., London time, one Business
Day prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Issuer shall deposit with the relevant Paying Agent(s) (or if the Issuer, the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust
for the benefit of Holders entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing (and each Paying Agent party to this
Indenture agrees) that the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall hold as agent, and not as trustee, all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in
making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. If the Issuer, the Company or a Wholly 

  
 24 












 
Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all
money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 2.04 by the designated Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall make payments on the
Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Upon complying with this Section, the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. For the avoidance of doubt, each Paying Agent and the
Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to payments or disbursements to be made by such Paying Agent and Trustee for which payment instructions are not made or that are not otherwise deposited by the due dates set forth in
this Section 2.04. 
 SECTION 2.05. Lists of Holders of Notes. The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If neither the Trustee nor an Affiliate of the Trustee is the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business
Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only in compliance
with Appendix A and upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar or a Transfer Agent with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the
requirements of this Indenture are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a Transfer Agent with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested
if the same requirements are met. 
 (b) To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Issuer shall
not be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to
be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or any Notes during the period after the relevant record date and prior to the relevant interest payment date. 

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to paragraph 2 of the Notes) interest, if any, on such Note and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 25 












 Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial
interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such
Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 All Notes
issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same Indebtedness and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or at the office of a Transfer Agent or if the
Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the
Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Note
Guarantors, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is an additional Obligation of the Issuer. The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes. 

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by
it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 11.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or the Company or an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Company
holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer
receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If one or more Paying Agents hold (or,
if the Issuer, the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust), in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on
that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and are not prohibited from paying such money to the relevant Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after
that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

  
 26 












 SECTION 2.09. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the
Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for
temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer,
without charge to the Holder. 
 SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. Each Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, replacement,
payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Issuer upon request. The Trustee shall retain all canceled securities in accordance with its standard procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the
Exchange Act). The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of cancelled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay
defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to
be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly give notice to each Holder that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

 SECTION 2.12. Common Codes and ISINs. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use Common Codes and ISINs (if then generally in use)
and, if so, the Trustee shall use Common Codes and ISINs in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Notes or as contained in any notice (including a notice of redemption) and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice or notice of redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the Common Codes or ISINs. 
 SECTION
2.13. Issuance of Additional Notes. After the Closing Date, the Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance, at the time of and after giving effect to such issuance, with Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this
Indenture, which Notes shall have identical terms as the Notes issued on the Closing Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price; provided that any such Additional Notes will be treated, for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes, as fungible with the Notes, or shall be issued with a different Common Code and ISIN for such Additional Notes. All the Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes) shall be treated as a single class for all purposes
of this Indenture, including in respect of any amendment, waiver, other modification or optional redemption by the Issuer. 

  
 27 












 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in an Officers’
Certificate, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee (along with a copy of the resolutions of the board of directors of the Issuer authorizing the Additional Notes), the following information: 

 

	 	(1)	 the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this
Indenture; and 


  

	 	(2)	 the issue price, the issue date, the Common Code and ISIN of such Additional Notes. 



SECTION 2.14. Agents Interest. 

(a) The rights, powers, duties and obligations and actions of each Agent under this Indenture are several and not joint or joint and several.

 (b) The Issuer and the Paying Agent acknowledge and agree that during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, by notice
in writing to each of the Issuer and the Paying Agent, require that the Paying Agent act as agent of, and take instructions exclusively from, the Trustee. 

(c) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to deal with money paid to it by the Issuer for the purposes of this Indenture in the same manner as
other money paid to a banker by its customers and shall not be liable for any interest earned thereon. 
 (d) The Agents shall act solely as
agents of the Issuer and shall have no fiduciary or other obligation towards, or have any relationship of agency or trust, for or with any Person other than the Issuer. 

(e) In the event that instructions given to any Agent are not reasonably clear, then such Agent shall be entitled to seek clarification from
the Issuer or other party entitled to give such Agent instructions under this Indenture by written request promptly and in any event within one Business Day of receipt by such Agent of such instructions. If an Agent has sought clarification in
accordance with this Section 2.14(e), then such Agent shall be entitled to take no action until such clarification is provided, and shall not incur any liability for not taking any action pending receipt of such clarification. 

(f) Each Agent shall be obliged to perform only those acts and duties as specifically set out in this Indenture and the Notes, and no other
acts, covenants, obligations or duties shall be implied or read into this Indenture or the Notes against any of the Agents. 
 (g) In no
event shall the Agents 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,


  
 28 












 
work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities,
communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Agents shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the
circumstances. 
 ARTICLE 3 

Redemption 
 SECTION 3.01.
Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraphs 6 or 7 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption price, the ISIN
numbers and Common Codes and the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption will occur. 
 The Issuer shall give each notice to
the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 30 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such redemption will comply
with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be cancelled by the Issuer at any time prior to notice of such redemption being given to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect unless the Trustee has sent the notice of redemption
pursuant to Section 3.03 below. 
 In the case of a redemption provided for by paragraph 7 of the Notes, prior to the publication or
delivery of any notice of redemption of any series of Notes pursuant to such paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Issuer or the Note Guarantors, as the case may be, cannot
avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees by taking reasonable measures available to it and (b) an opinion of counsel of independent legal counsel of recognized standing stating that such
Issuer or Note Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change in tax laws or regulations or the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations. The Trustee shall accept such Officers’ Certificate and
opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. Any such notice may be canceled by the Issuer at any time
prior to notice of such redemption being given to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 
 SECTION 3.02. Selection of
Notes to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by such other method (including by pool factor) as required by applicable law or applicable stock
exchange or depositary requirements. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Notes that have denominations larger
than €100,000. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of €100,000 or a whole multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this 

  
 29 












 
Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be
redeemed. 
 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes,
the Issuer, or the Trustee (at the direction of the Issuer), shall give notice to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. For Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by
delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders. In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the
Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, any such notice to the Holders of the relevant Notes shall also be published in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is
expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu), and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuer
shall notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of any change in the principal amount of Notes outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note (but subject to the newspaper publication requirement described in this
Section 3.03, to the extent applicable), where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Note in global form (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be
sufficiently given if given to the depositary for such Note (or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such depositary. Any notice of redemption may be conditioned on the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. The Issuer
shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon
receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 
  

	 	The	 notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 



 

	 	(1)	 the redemption date and the record date; 



 

	 	(2)	 the redemption price; 



 

	 	(3)	 the name and address of the relevant Paying Agent(s); 



 

	 	(4)	 that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the relevant Paying Agent(s) to collect the redemption
price; 


  

	 	(5)	 if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification and principal amounts of the
particular Notes to be redeemed; 



  
 30 













	 	(6)	 that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes (or portion thereof)
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 


  

	 	(7)	 that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the Common Code or ISIN, if any, listed in
such notice or printed on the Notes; and 


  

	 	(8)	 if the notice of redemption is conditioned on the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, a
description of such condition or conditions precedent. 


 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice
of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.01 requests that the Trustee
give such notice and attaches a form of such notice setting forth the information to be stated therein as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given to Holders, Notes called for redemption shall, subject
to any condition precedent set forth in such notice, become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to a Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the
notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date if the redemption date is after a regular record date
and on or prior to the interest payment date). Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. 

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the
relevant Paying Agent(s) (or, if the Issuer, the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes or portions thereof to be
redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. Interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on and after
the date the Issuer has deposited with the relevant Paying Agent(s) funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed, unless such Paying Agent(s) is prohibited from making such payment pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, each Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to payments or disbursements to be made by such Paying Agent and Trustee for which payment
instructions are not made or that are not otherwise deposited by the date set forth in this Section 3.05. 
 SECTION 3.06. Notes
Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Note surrendered, or such amount shall be transferred by book-entry. 

  
 31 












 ARTICLE 4 

Covenants 
 SECTION 4.01.
Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such
date the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent(s) holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 SECTION 4.02. SEC Reports and Rule 144A Information.
Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as the Company is a Note Guarantor, the Company shall file with the SEC and provide the Trustee and Holders
and prospective Holders (upon request) within 15 days after it files them with the SEC, copies of its annual report and the information, documents and other reports that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In addition, the
Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Holders, promptly upon their becoming available, copies of the annual report to shareholders and any other information provided by the Company to its public shareholders generally. Delivery of such
reports, information and documents to the Trustee hereunder is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such does not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates or certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.13). In
addition, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders of the Notes and to prospective purchasers of the Notes, upon written request, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are
not freely transferable under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has filed the reports and information referred to in this Section 4.02 with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor thereto) and such
reports and information are publicly available, then the Company and the Issuer will be deemed to have provided and furnished such reports and information to the Trustee and the Holders in satisfaction of the requirements to “provide” and
“furnish” such applicable reports or information as set forth in this Section 4.02.

SECTION 4.08. Change of Control Triggering Event. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder
shall have the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with Section 4.08(b). 

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after
public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Issuer shall give notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”), stating: 

 

	 	(1)	 that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer
to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); 


  

	 	(2)	 the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control Triggering
Event; 


  

	 	(3)	 the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is
given) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); and 


  

	 	(4)	 the instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.08, that a Holder must follow in
order to have its Notes purchased. 


 The notice of the Change of Control Offer, if given prior to the date of
consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(c) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.08 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and


  
 33 












 
purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control
Triggering Event if the Notes have been or are called for redemption by the Issuer prior to it being required to deliver notice of the Change of Control Offer, and thereafter redeems all Notes called for redemption in accordance with the terms set
forth in the redemption notice for such redemption. 
 (d) (1) If and for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer shall publish notices relating to the Change of Control Offer in a newspaper
having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).

  

	 	(2)	 The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange
Act and any other securities laws or regulations, including the laws of Luxembourg, in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue thereof. 



(e) On the Change of Control Payment Date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered by the Issuer to
the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto. 

SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly,
Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any Principal Property or Capital Stock of a Manufacturing Subsidiary, whether owned at the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, which Initial Lien
secures any Indebtedness for borrowed money, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured.

 Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien. 
 SECTION 4.10. Limitation
on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, enter into any 

  
 34 












 
Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property owned on the Closing Date unless: 
  

	 	(1)	 the Company or such Manufacturing Subsidiary would be entitled as described in clauses (1) through
(15) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, without equally and ratably securing the Notes then outstanding, to Incur Indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a Lien on such Principal Property in the amount equal to the
Attributable Debt arising from such Sale/Leaseback Transaction; 


  

	 	(2)	 the Company or such Manufacturing Subsidiary, within 360 days after the sale of such Principal Property in
connection with which such Sale/Leaseback Transaction is completed, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of such Principal Property to either (or a combination of) (i) the retirement of the Notes or other Funded Debt of the
Company or a Subsidiary or (ii) the purchase of Additional Assets; 


  

	 	(3)	 the lease is for a period not in excess of three years; or 



 

	 	(4)	 the Attributable Debt of the Company and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries in respect of such Sale/ Leaseback
Transaction and all other Sale/Leaseback Transactions entered into after the Closing Date (other than any such Sale/Leaseback Transaction as would be permitted as described in clauses (1) through (3) of this Section 4.10), plus the
aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness for borrowed money then outstanding secured by Liens on any Principal Property or Capital Stock of a Manufacturing Subsidiary (not including any such Indebtedness for borrowed money secured by Liens
described in clauses (1) through (15) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”) which do not equally and ratably secure such outstanding Notes (or secure such outstanding Notes on a basis that is prior to other Indebtedness
for borrowed money secured thereby), would not exceed 12.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. 


 SECTION 4.11.
Future Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company shall cause (i) each Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) that Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or of any Subsidiary Guarantor (provided, however, that the
outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness of the Company and of such Subsidiary Guarantors, in the aggregate, exceeds $100,000,000), and (ii) each Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) that Guarantees any Capital Markets
Indebtedness of the Issuer, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Notes and, if applicable, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form set forth in Exhibit 3 hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall
Guarantee payment of the Notes. Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited (x) to an amount not to exceed the 

  
 35 












 
maximum amount that can be Guaranteed by that Subsidiary Guarantor, without (A) rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or (B) subjecting any officers or directors of the Subsidiary Guarantor to a material risk of personal liability, and
(y) by applicable corporate benefit or similar laws. 
 SECTION 4.12. Fall Away of Future Subsidiary Guarantors Covenant.
(a) Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that: 
  

	 	(1)	 the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies, and 



 

	 	(2)	 no Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder with respect to the Notes, 



the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.11. In addition, upon and following the Suspension Date, the Issuer may elect to
suspend the Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 (b) In the event that the Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to Section 4.11 for any
period of time as a result of the foregoing and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) both (1) one or more of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes
below an Investment Grade Rating resulting in the Notes no longer having an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies and (2) the terms of any other debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries then
outstanding include a future subsidiary guarantors covenant (that is substantially the same as Section 4.11) that was previously suspended and that has become applicable upon a substantially concurrent reversion as a result of substantially the
same ratings withdrawal or downgrade with respect to such debt securities (provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of such debt securities exceeds $100,000,000), then the Company and its Subsidiaries
(other than Excluded Subsidiaries) shall thereafter again be subject to Section 4.11 with respect to future events and the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be reinstated (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the “Future
Subsidiary Guarantors” covenant in each of the 2015 Euro Indenture, the 2016 Indenture, the 2017 Indenture, the 2020 Indenture, the 2021 April Indentures and the 2021 May Indentures is substantially the same as Section 4.11). The
period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to herein as the “Suspension Period”. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding that Section 4.11 may be reinstated, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with Section 4.11 during the Suspension Period. 

(d) The Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date and of any election
made pursuant to this Section 4.12; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 4.12 or the Company’s rights hereunder. 

  
 36 












 SECTION 4.13. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer or the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer a certificate signed by a Financial Officer stating (i) that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made
with a view to determining whether the Company, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors have fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture and (ii) that, to the knowledge of such Financial Officer, no Default or Event of Default occurred
during such period (or, if a Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default hereunder of which such Financial Officer may have knowledge and what action the Issuer has taken, is taking
and/or proposes to take with respect thereto). 
 The Trustee may assume without inquiry, in the absence of actual knowledge, that each of
the Issuer and the Company is duly complying with its obligations contained in this Indenture required to be observed and performed by it, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event that would require repayment of the Notes has occurred.

 SECTION 4.14. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors will execute and
deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

SECTION 4.15. Maintenance of Listing. Each of the Company and the Issuer shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of
the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market for so long as such Notes are outstanding; provided, however, that if at any time the Company or the Issuer determines that it will not maintain such listing, it will obtain prior to the
delisting of the Notes from the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market, and thereafter use its reasonable efforts to maintain, a listing of such Notes on another internationally recognized stock exchange. 

SECTION 4.16. Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Note Guarantors under or
with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties,
interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of The Netherlands or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or within any
other jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Note Guarantor (or any successor Person) is, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made (each a “Relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. 

(b) If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant
Taxing 

  
 37 












 
Jurisdiction, or if a Holder actually pays such Taxes where the Issuer or the Note Guarantor failed to withhold or deduct Taxes required to be held or deducted, from any payment made under or
with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor, as applicable, will be required to pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received
by the Holders (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction (including any Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the Holders would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted;
provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to (1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection (for the avoidance of doubt,
including the ownership of shares in the Issuer) between the relevant Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant Holder, if the relevant Holder is an estate, nominee, trust
or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding of such Note); (2) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property tax or similar tax,
assessment or governmental charge; (3) any withholding or deduction that is imposed on any payment arising from FATCA; (4) any Taxes withheld or deducted that could have been avoided by satisfying any statutory requirements or by making a
declaration of non-resident or other claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority; or (5) any Taxes that are levied under the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet bronbelasting 2021) as a result of a Holder being affiliated to the
Issuer (within the meaning of the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021); nor will the Issuer or any Note Guarantor pay Additional Amounts (a) if the payment could have been made without such deduction or withholding if the beneficiary of the payment
had presented the Note for payment within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have
been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period), or (b) with respect to any payment of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on such Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or
partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been
entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note. 
 If the
Issuer is, in respect of any payment with respect to the Notes, compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges, including any withholding or deduction that is imposed on any payment
arising from FATCA, it shall give notice of that fact to the Trustee and each Paying Agent promptly upon becoming aware of the requirement to make the withholding or deduction and shall give to the Trustee and each Paying Agent such information as
it may reasonably require to enable it to comply with the requirement. 
 (c) If an Officer of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor becomes
aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or 

  
 38 












 
with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Issuer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of
that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an
Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officers’ Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying
Agent(s) to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. Upon request, the Issuer, the Company
or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor shall also provide the Trustee with official receipts or other documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of the Taxes with respect to which Additional Amounts are paid. 

(d) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context: 
  

	 	(1)	 the payment of principal; 



 

	 	(2)	 purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes; 



 

	 	(3)	 interest; or 


  

	 	(4)	 any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Notes, such reference shall be deemed to include
payment of Additional Amounts as described in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 



(e) The Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereof, or the receipt of
any payments with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, excluding such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside of the jurisdiction of organization or tax residence of the Issuer or any of the Note Guarantors, or
the jurisdiction of organization or tax residence of any successor of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, or any jurisdiction in which a Paying Agent is located, and the Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall agree to indemnify the Holders for any such
taxes paid by such Holders. 
 (f) The obligations described in this Section shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this
Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Union and the Successor Issuer (if not the Issuer) shall expressly assume, by
a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture; 



 

	 	(2)	 immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and



  

	 	(3)	 the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each

substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, under this Indenture. The predecessor Issuer, other than in the case of a lease, shall be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and
interest on the Notes, and the predecessor Company shall be released from its obligations under the Note Guarantee. 
 (d) The Company shall
not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets, in one or a series of related transactions, to any Person, unless: 

 

	 	(1)	 except in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (A) that has been disposed of in its entirety to another

to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee; 


  

	 	(2)	 immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and



  

	 	(3)	 the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each

with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(7) or 6.01(8) with respect to the Company or the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the
Trustee may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(7) or 6.01(8) with respect to the Company or the Issuer occurs, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if
all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to
collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of 

  
 44 












 
Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice
to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant
to this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not
any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), subject to Section 7.01, or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Subject to Section 7.01, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, including by way of pre-funding, which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal,
premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
  

	 	(1)	 the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;



  

	 	(2)	 the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee
to pursue the remedy; 


  

	 	(3)	 such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability
or expense, including by way of pre-funding; 


  

	 	(4)	 the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and 



  
 45 













	 	(5)	 the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a
direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 


 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the
rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not a Holder’s actions are unduly prejudicial to other Holders).

 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder
to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(1) or 6.01(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any
unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors
or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or
property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee and the Agents for amounts due under Section 7.07; 

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest respectively; and 
 THIRD: to the Issuer. 

  
 46 












 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to
this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer or the Company shall deliver to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a
suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes. 
 SECTION 6.12.
Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

SECTION 6.13. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Issuer, the Trustee, and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted. 
 ARTICLE 7 

Trustee 
 SECTION 7.01.
Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. 

  
 47 













	 	(b)	 Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 



 

	 	(1)	 the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 


  

	 	(2)	 in the absence of fraud on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 



(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful default,
except that: 
  

	 	(1)	 this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 



 

	 	(2)	 the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 


  

	 	(3)	 the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 


 (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in
any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01. 
 (e) The Trustee shall not
be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. 
 (f) Money held in trust by
the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (g) No provision of this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 SECTION 7.02. Rights of
Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected from acting or refraining from acting, upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee may, if it sees fit, make such inquiry without incurring liability. 

  
 48 












 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within
its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful default or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel or other professional advisers, and the advice or opinion of counsel (but not any other professional
advisers) with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes, including any Opinion of Counsel, shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel, including any Opinion of Counsel. 
 (f) The Trustee
shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 
 (g) The Trustee shall
not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions, or agreements on the part of the Issuer, except as otherwise set forth herein, but the Trustee may require of the Issuer full information and
advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein. 
 (h) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do
things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and, with respect to such permissive rights, the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful default. 

(i) Except for a default under Sections 6.01(1) or (2) hereof, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer shall have received from the Issuer or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding written notice thereof at its address set forth
in Section 11.02 hereof, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. In the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no Default or Event of Default exists. 

(j) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction. 

  
 49 












 (k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee and each Agent. 
 (l)
In no event shall the Trustee 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, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services;
it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee
must comply with Section 7.10. 
 (b) The Trustee shall be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires
any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign as Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds
from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or the Offering Memorandum or in any other document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a
Trust Officer, the Trustee shall mail or deliver to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except
in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the redemption provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good
faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 SECTION 7.06. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer or the Company shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time reasonable
compensation for their services as shall be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee and Agents, as applicable. The Trustee’s and Agents’ compensation shall not be


  
 50 












 
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by
them, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for their services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and Agents’ agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee and Agents, their agents, representatives, officers, directors, employees and attorneys against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and Agents’ counsel) incurred by them in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of their duties or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their
rights or powers hereunder. Such indemnified party shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by such indemnified party to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder.
Upon notice to the indemnified party, the Issuer may defend the claim and such indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. Such indemnified party may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if the Issuer assumes such defense unless there is a conflict of interest between the Issuer and
such indemnified party in connection with such defense as determined by such indemnified party in consultation with counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or
Agents through the Trustee’s or Agents’ own willful default, negligence or fraud. 
 In no event shall the Trustee or any Agent be
responsible or liable for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind (including, without limitation, loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit of any kind) of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, even if advised of it in
advance and even if foreseeable and regardless of the form of action. 
 To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section,
the Trustee and Agents shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or Agents other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. 

The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and Agents and the
discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee and Agents incur expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under the Bankruptcy Law. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: 

 

	 	(1)	 the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 



  
 51 













	 	(2)	 the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 



 

	 	(3)	 a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 



 

	 	(4)	 the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 



If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes and
such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer.
Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its
succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the
Holders of 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor
Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger,
conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in
the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

  
 52 












 SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. There will at all times be a Trustee
hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom or a jurisdiction in the European Union that is authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trustee power and which customarily performs such corporate trustee roles and provides such corporate trustee services in transactions similar in nature to the offering of the Notes as described in the Offering Memorandum. 

ARTICLE 8 
 Discharge of
Indenture; Defeasance 
 SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. (a) When (1) the Issuer delivers to
the Trustee all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (2) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the delivery of a
notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3 hereof and, in the case of clause (2), the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations, or any combination thereof, sufficient to pay at
maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Notes, including premium, if any, and interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums
payable under this Indenture by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect. Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture. 
 (b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (1) all its obligations under the Notes
and this Indenture with respect to any Notes (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) the obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.15 and 5.01 and the operation of Sections 6.01(3), 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6), 6.01(9)
and 6.01(10) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer
exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(3), 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6), 6.01(9) and 6.01(10). In the event that the Issuer exercises its legal
defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee. 

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 11.04, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates. 

  
 53 












 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in
Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive. 

SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

  

	 	(1)	 the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government
Obligations, the principal of and interest on which shall be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, to pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest in respect of the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be;



  

	 	(2)	 the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from an internationally recognized investment bank, appraisal
firm or firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited European Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide
cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 



 

	 	(3)	 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no Default specified in Sections 6.01(7) or
(8) with respect to the Issuer occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 


  

	 	(4)	 the deposit does not constitute a default under any other material agreement binding on the Issuer;

deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 


  

	 	(6)	 in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee (A) an Opinion
of Counsel stating that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax
law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax




  
 54 













	 	
purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such deposit and defeasance had not occurred and (B) an Opinion of Counsel in the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuer to the effect that Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for income tax purposes in such jurisdiction as a
result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to income tax in such jurisdiction on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and


  

	 	(7)	 in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee (A) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred and (B) an Opinion of Counsel in the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuer to the effect that Holders will not
recognize income, gain or loss for income tax purposes in such jurisdiction as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject to income tax in such jurisdiction on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times
as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred. 


 Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may
make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Notes at a future date in accordance with Article 3. 
 SECTION 8.03.
Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited cash in euro or euro-denominated European

SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Issuer. The Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any
excess money or securities held by them at any time. 
 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the relevant
Paying Agent(s) shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as
general creditors, and the Trustee and such Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 

  
 55 












 SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited European Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such European Government Obligations. 

SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent(s) is unable to apply any cash in euro or euro-denominated
European Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuer’s and each Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and each Note Guarantee with respect to such Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the
Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent(s) is permitted to apply all such cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of
interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent(s). 
 ARTICLE 9 

Amendments

	 	(2)	 to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor
under this Indenture in compliance with Article 5; 


  

	 	(3)	 to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided,
however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for U.S. Federal income tax purposes; 


  

	 	(4)	 to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of
any Note Guarantee when such release, termination or discharge is permitted under this Indenture; 



  
 56 













	 	(5)	 to add to the covenants of the Company or the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right
or power herein conferred upon the Company or the Issuer; 


  

	 	(6)	 to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect, subject to
the provisions of this Indenture, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate; 


  

	 	(7)	 to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer and
legending of Notes; provided, however, that (A) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, and (B) such
amendment does not materially affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; 


  

	 	(8)	 to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;



  

	 	(9)	 to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge as security for the Notes any property or assets in accordance
with Section 4.09; or 


  

	 	(10)	 conform any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to the “Description of Notes” in the Offering
Memorandum. 


 For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to require any consent of any
Holder to amend or supplement this Indenture in any manner that does not relate to the Notes. 
 After an amendment under this Section
becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

 For the avoidance of doubt, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be required to sign any amendment or supplemental indenture hereto
pursuant to which a Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor as contemplated by Section 4.11 or the penultimate sentence of Section 10.06. 

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. (a) The Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture (as it relates
to the Notes) or the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for such
Notes). Any existing Default or compliance with any provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single
class, subject to the restrictions of Section 6.04 

  
 57 












 
and this Section 9.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not: 

 

	 	(1)	 reduce the amount of the Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment; 



 

	 	(2)	 reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note; 



 

	 	(3)	 reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note; 



 

	 	(4)	 reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which such Note may be
redeemed pursuant to Article 3 hereto or paragraph 6 of the Notes; 


  

	 	(5)	 make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note; 



 

	 	(6)	 impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Notes on
or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; 


  

	 	(7)	 make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the third sentence of this Section 9.02(a); or



  

	 	(8)	 make any change in, or release other than in accordance with this Indenture, any Note Guarantee that would
adversely affect the Holders. 


 (b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After
an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an
amendment under this Section. 
 SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver
by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note.
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an
amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee. 

  
 58 












 The Issuer or the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding
paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not
such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 

SECTION 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the
Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer, the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for
the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. 
 Failure to make the appropriate
notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
 SECTION 9.05. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The
Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such
amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 SECTION 9.06. Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any
Affiliate of the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or
provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 ARTICLE 10 
 Guarantees

 SECTION 10.01. Guarantees. (a) Each Note Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary
obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor, jointly with the other Note Guarantors and severally. 

  
 59 












 
Each of the Note Guarantors further agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain
bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any such Guaranteed Obligation. Each of the Note Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor of any of its Guaranteed
Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of protest for nonpayment and all similar formalities. 
 (b)
Each of the Note Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any Holder to any security held for
the payment of its Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Trustee or any Holder in favor of the Company. 

(c) Except for (x) termination of a Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (y) suspension of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 4.12 or (z) a release of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.06, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be
subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy under the provisions of this Indenture or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Indenture or any other agreement, including with respect to any
other Note Guarantor under this Indenture; (iii) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor; or (iv) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner
or to any extent vary the risk of such Note Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note
Guarantor). 
 (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Note Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any
defense of the Company or any other Note Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Issuer or any other Note
Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor. The Trustee may, at its election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with
the Issuer or any Note Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Note Guarantor hereunder except to the
extent the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor have been fully and 

  
 60 












 
indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Note Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates,
pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Note Guarantor against the Issuer or any other Note Guarantor, as the case may be. 

(e) Each of the Note Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation of such Note Guarantor is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, any other Note Guarantor or otherwise. 

SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate
amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Note Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such Note Guarantor, voidable under applicable
law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 
 SECTION 10.03.
Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Note Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, transferees and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any
transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the
terms and conditions of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee
or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure
by any Note Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice to or demand on any Note Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Note Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

SECTION 10.06. Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Article 10
(other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.07): 
  

	 	(1)	 upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder of Indebtedness of the
Issuer or of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of such Subsidiary Guarantor; 



  
 61 













	 	(2)	 upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor;



  

	 	(3)	 upon such Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary; 



 

	 	(4)	 unless there is an existing Event of Default on the date the Subsidiary Guarantee would be released, at such
time and for so long as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not Guarantee (other than a Guarantee that will be released upon the release of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee) (i) any Indebtedness of the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor
(other than Indebtedness of the Company or other Subsidiary Guarantors the outstanding principal amount of which, in the aggregate, does not exceed $100,000,000), and (ii) any Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuer; 



 

	 	(5)	 at any time during a Suspension Period if the Issuer provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee
stating that the Issuer elects to have such Subsidiary Guarantor released from this Article 10; or 


  

	 	(6)	 upon the exercise by the Issuer of its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option or if the
Obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes are discharged pursuant to Article 8; 


 provided, however,
that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Indenture.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.06, the Company, at its option, may cause any Subsidiary of the Company to become a
Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes, and if such Subsidiary is not otherwise required under this Indenture to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee, the Company, at its option, may cause any such Subsidiary Guarantee to be released, subject to applicable
law. 
 At the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release (it being understood that the
failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any release pursuant to this Section 10.06). 
 SECTION 10.07.
Contribution. Each Note Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Note Guarantor in an amount equal to
such other Note Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Note Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

 Any notice or

For Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the
relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders. So long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF

to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee:

necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 


  

	 	(4)	 a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been

 SECTION 11.06. When Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination. 

  
 65 












 SECTION 11.07. Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for
action by or a meeting of Holders. Each Agent may make reasonable rules for its functions. 
 SECTION 11.08. Business Day. If a
payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is not a Business Day, the record date shall not be
affected. 
 SECTION 11.09. Governing Law; Jury Trial Waiver; Submission to Jurisdiction; Service. (a) This Indenture and the
Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would be
required thereby. 
 (b) EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE ISSUER, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY, AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE BY ITS
ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 
 (c) The Trustee, the Company, the Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in The Borough of Manhattan, City of New York in relation to any legal action or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with this
Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees. 
 (d) The Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor appoint the Company as its agent for service
of process in any such action or proceeding. 
 SECTION 11.10. Judgment Currency. Any payment on account of an amount that is payable
in euros (the “Required Currency”) which is made to or for the account of any Holder or the Trustee in lawful currency of any other jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”), whether as a result of any judgment or
order or the enforcement thereof or the liquidation of the Company, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the Company’s, the Issuer’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligation under this Indenture and
the Notes, as the case may be, only to the extent of the amount of the Required Currency which such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, could purchase in the London foreign exchange markets with the amount of the Judgment Currency in
accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the first Business Day following receipt of the payment in the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Required Currency that could be so purchased


  
 66 












 
is less than the amount of the Required Currency originally due to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, under this Indenture or the Notes, the Company, the Issuer and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, from and against all loss sustained by such recipient as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent
from the other obligations contained in this Indenture or the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder or the Trustee from time to time and shall continue
in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Indenture, the Notes or any judgment or order. If the amount of the Required Currency that could be so purchased is greater
than the amount of the Required Currency originally due to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, under this Indenture or the Notes, such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall return the amount of any excess to the Company, the
Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 

SECTION 11.11. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor
shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or this Indenture or of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. 

SECTION 11.12. Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of
the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 
 SECTION 11.13. Multiple Originals; Electronic Signatures. The parties may
sign any number of copies of this Indenture by manual signature, which may be provided by facsimile or electronically, with PDF. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough
to prove this Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the
original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. This Indenture shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party when
executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the
federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively,
“Signature Law”), in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence
as an original 

  
 67 












 
manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other
electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of
writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings. 
 SECTION 11.14.
Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and
shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 11.15. Information Requirements. If: 

(a) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation made after the
date of this Indenture; or 
 (b) any change in the status of the Issuer or the composition of the shareholders of the Issuer after the date
of this Indenture, 
 obliges the Paying Agent or the Registrar to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification
procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Issuer shall as soon as reasonably practicable upon the request of the Paying Agent or the Registrar supply or procure the supply of such documentation
and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Registrar in order for the Paying Agent or Registrar to carry out and be satisfied that it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or similar checks
under all applicable laws and regulations.

 2. The Notes 

2.1. Form and Dating 
 (a) The
Notes issued on the date hereof will be (i) offered and sold by the Issuer pursuant to a purchase agreement and (ii) resold initially only to (1) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and (2) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined
in Regulation S) outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S. Such Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs and purchasers outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S, in each case, subject to the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein. 
 (b) Global Notes. Rule 144A Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more
permanent global Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons (the “Rule 144A Global Notes”). The Regulation S Global Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more temporary global Notes in fully registered form
without interest coupons (the “Temporary Regulation S Global Notes”). Beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Notes will be exchanged for beneficial interests in one or more corresponding permanent global Notes in fully
registered form without interest coupons (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Notes” and, together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Notes, the “Regulation S Global Notes”) within a reasonable period after the expiration of
the Restricted Period upon delivery of the certification contemplated by Section 3. The Temporary Regulation S Global Notes shall also bear the Temporary Regulation S Notes Legend. The Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes
shall bear the Global Notes Legend and the Restricted Notes Legend. The Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Depositary, and registered in
the name of the Depositary or a nominee of such Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee or an Authentication Agent as provided in the Indenture. The Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes are each
referred to herein as a “Global Note” and are collectively referred to herein as “Global Notes”. The aggregate principal amount of the 











 
Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee or Registrar and the Depositary or its nominee and on the schedules thereto as
hereinafter provided, in connection with transfers, exchanges, redemptions and repurchases of beneficial interests therein. 
 (c)
Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(c) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. 

The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee or an Authentication Agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Indenture and
Section 2.2 and pursuant to an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee of such
Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions. 
 Members
of, or direct or indirect participants in, Euroclear or Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or under such Global Note. So long as the
Depositary or any of its nominees is the registered holder of a Global Note, the Depositary or such nominee will be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the sole owner and holder of such Global Note for
all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by
Euroclear or Clearstream or impair, as between Euroclear or Clearstream and their respective Agent Members, the operation of customary practices thereof governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

 (d) Definitive Registered Notes. Except as provided in Section 2.3 or 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes
will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes. 
 2.2. Authentication. The Trustee or an Authentication
Agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon receipt of an Authentication Order of the Issuer signed by two of its Officers or a duly authorized
attorney-in-fact (a) Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of €400,000,000 and (b) subject to the terms of the
Indenture, Additional Notes in an unlimited aggregate principal amount. Such Authentication Order shall (x) specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated,
(y) direct the Trustee or an Authentication Agent to authenticate such Notes and (z) certify, or be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying, that all conditions precedent to the issuance of such Notes have been complied
with in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 2.3. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Registered
Notes. When Definitive Registered Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request: 
 (i) to register the transfer of such
Definitive Registered Notes; or 











 (ii) to exchange such Definitive Registered Notes for an equal principal amount of
Definitive Registered Notes of other authorized denominations, 
 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as
requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met, provided, however, that the Definitive Registered Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange: 

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and 
 (2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, are
accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: 
 (i) if such Definitive Registered Notes are being
delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Note); or 

(ii) if such Definitive Registered Notes are being transferred to the Issuer, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the
reverse side of the Note); or 
 (iii) if such Definitive Registered Notes are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration
in accordance with Rule 144A or Regulation S or another available exemption under the Securities Act, (x) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Note) and (y) if the Issuer or Registrar so
requests, an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Registered Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Registered Note
may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Registered Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar, together with: 
 (i)
certification (in the form provided in Exhibit 2) that such Definitive Registered Note is being transferred (1) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (2) outside the United States in an offshore transaction within the meaning of
Regulation S and in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act; and 
 (ii) written instructions directing the Registrar to make, or
to direct the Depositary to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by 











 
the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the account to be credited with such increase; then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Registered Note and cause, or
direct the Depositary to cause, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Registered Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to
the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Registered Note so cancelled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding and the Global Notes have not
been previously exchanged for Definitive Registered Notes pursuant to Section 2.4, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee or an Authentication Agent shall authenticate, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, a new Global Note in the
appropriate principal amount. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. 

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the
Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written
order given in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream containing information regarding the Agent Member account to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note or another Global Note and such
account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the Agent Member account from which such transfer is made shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the
Global Note being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted
Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Registrar of a certification in the form provided in Exhibit 2 from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S. 

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not
be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (d)
Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Note. 
 (i) Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the
Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream. During the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (1) to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (2) so long as such security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB
that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and who takes ownership of such beneficial interest












 
through the Rule 144A Global Note or (3) to non-U.S. Persons in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, in each case in accordance
with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such
interest through the Rule 144A Global Note shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Registrar of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided in Exhibit 2 to
the effect that such transfer is being made to a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Restricted Period. 

(ii) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in
accordance with applicable law and the other terms of the Indenture. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, in
no event shall a Definitive Registered Note be delivered upon exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note prior to the end of the Restricted Period. 

(e) Legends. 
 (i) Each
Transfer Restricted Note shall bear the following legend (the “Restricted Notes Legend”):

TRUSTEE THAT THIS RESTRICTIVE LEGEND SHALL BE DEEMED REMOVED (WHICH NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BE GIVEN ON OR ABOUT THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY)] [IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S
NOTES: 40 DAYS AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE ISSUER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER WAS THE OWNER OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF SUCH SECURITY)], ONLY (A) TO THE ISSUER,

LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE
144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUER’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (D) OR (E) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION
SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM. THIS LEGEND WILL BE DEEMED REMOVED WITHOUT FURTHER ACTION OF THE ISSUER, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY HOLDER AT SUCH TIME AS THE ISSUER NOTIFIES THE TRUSTEE IN WRITING THAT SUCH LEGEND SHALL BE DEEMED REMOVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE INDENTURE.” 
 (ii) Each Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall bear the following additional legend (the “Temporary
Regulation S Global Notes Legend”):

(iii) Each Definitive Registered Note shall bear the following additional legend (the “Definitive Registered Notes Legend”):

 (iv) Each Global
Note shall bear the following legend (the “Global Notes Legend”): 
 “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF EUROCLEAR BANK S.A./N.V. (“EUROCLEAR”), OR CLEARSTREAM BANKING, SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME 











 
(“CLEARSTREAM”), TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF ITS AUTHORIZED NOMINEE, OR SUCH
OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO ITS AUTHORIZED NOMINEE, OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, ITS AUTHORIZED NOMINEE, HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF THE DEPOSITARY OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF
OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.” 

(f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for
Definitive Registered Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and cancelled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if
any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Registered Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note
shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Registrar (if it is then the Depositary for such Global Note), by the Trustee or the Depositary, to reflect such reduction. 

(g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee or an Authentication Agent shall
authenticate, Definitive Registered Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request. 
 (ii) No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to the Indenture). 
 (iii) Prior to the due presentation for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of
and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 











 (iv) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture
shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

(v) Notwithstanding any statement herein, the Issuer and the Trustee, and their respective agents and nominees, reserve the right to impose
such transfer, certification, exchange or other requirements, and to require such restrictive legends on certificates evidencing Notes, as they may determine are necessary to ensure compliance with the securities laws of the United States and any
state therein and any other applicable laws or as Euroclear or Clearstream may require. 
 (h) No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the
Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any
participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to
be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note
shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members,
participants and any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance, with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including, without limitation, any transfers between or among Depositary
participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the
Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 2.4.
Definitive Registered Notes. 
 (a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be transferred to
the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Registered Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with












 
Section 2.3 and (i) Euroclear and Clearstream notify the Issuer they are unwilling or unable to continue as clearing agency and a successor clearing agency is not appointed by the
Issuer within 120 days and (ii) the owner of a book-entry interest in the Global Notes requests such exchange in writing delivered through the Depositary following an Event of Default under this Indenture and enforcement action is being taken
in respect thereof under this Indenture. Except as provided by the foregoing, owners of book-entry interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to have any portions of such Global Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be
entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the owners or holders of such Global Notes (or any notes represented thereby) under the Indenture or the Notes. 

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the
Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee or an Authentication Agent shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal
aggregate principal amount of Definitive Registered Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in minimum denominations of
€100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. Any certificated Note in the form of a Definitive Registered Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global
Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(e), bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 
 (c) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.4(b), the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to
take under the Indenture or the Notes. 
 (d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.4(a)(i), (ii)
or (iii), the Issuer will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Registered Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY] 

2.750% Senior Note due 2028 
  

	1.	 Interest. 



GOODYEAR EUROPE B.V., a Dutch private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) (such company, and
its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer shall pay interest
semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2022. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been
paid or duly provided for, from September 28, 2021 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

 

	2.	 Method of Payment. 



The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on
February 14 or August 14 next preceding the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, interest, Additional Amounts and premium, if any, in euros.
Principal, interest, Additional Amounts and premium, if any, on Global Notes will be payable at the specified office or agency of the relevant Paying Agent(s); provided, that all such payments with respect to Notes represented by one or more
Global Notes registered in the name of or held by a nominee of Euroclear and/or Clearstream will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. 

Principal, interest, Additional Amounts and premium, if any, on any Definitive Registered Notes will be payable at the specified office or
agency of one or more Paying Agents maintained for such purposes. In addition, interest on the Definitive Registered Notes may be paid by check mailed to the person entitled thereto as shown on the register for the Definitive Registered Notes. 

If the due date for any payment in respect of any Note is not a Business Day at the place in which such payment is due to be paid, the Holder
thereof will not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day at such place, and will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay. 

 

	3.	 Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. 



Initially, Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. will act as Registrar and Transfer Agent in Luxembourg, and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch will act
as 











 
Transfer Agent and Principal Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar upon written notice to such Agent and to the Trustee, without
prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer, the Company or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	 Indenture. 



The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 28, 2021 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the
Note Guarantors, the Trustee, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as Principal Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as Registrar and Transfer Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. Terms
defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the Indenture for a
statement of such terms and provisions. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture imposes
certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer, the Company and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries to, among other things, create or Incur certain Liens and enter into certain Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the
ability of the Issuer and each Note Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property. 

Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of
the Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.11 of the Indenture with respect to the Notes. In
addition, upon and following the Suspension Date, the Issuer may elect to suspend the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Notes. Upon and following any Reversion Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) shall
again be subject to Section 4.11 of the Indenture with respect to the Notes with respect to future events and the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Notes shall be reinstated. 

 

	5.	 Guarantee. 



The payment by the Issuer of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several senior unsecured basis by each Note Guarantor to the extent set forth in the Indenture. The precise terms of the Note Guarantee of the Notes and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Note Guarantors with respect to the Notes are expressly set
forth in Article 10 of the Indenture. 

  
 2 













	6.	 Optional Redemption. 



Except as set forth below in this paragraph 6 and paragraph 7, the Issuer will not be entitled to redeem the Notes. 

On and after August 15, 2024, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior
notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on August 15 of the years set forth below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Redemption
Price	 
	 2024
	  	 	101.375	% 
	 2025
	  	 	100.688	% 
	 2026 and thereafter
	  	 	100.00	% 

 In addition, prior to August 15, 2024, the Issuer may, on one or more occasions, redeem up to a maximum
of 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 102.750% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that (1) at
least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) remains outstanding after giving effect to any such redemption and (2) any such redemption by the Issuer is made
within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering and is made in accordance with certain procedures set forth in the Indenture. 

In addition, prior to August 15, 2024, the Issuer may at its option redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date). 
 “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note at any redemption date, the greater of
(1) 1.00% of the principal amount of such Note and (2) the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such Note on August 15, 2024 (such redemption price being set forth in the
applicable table appearing above under the caption “Optional Redemption”), plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Note through August 15, 2024 (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Bund Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Note on such redemption date, in each case calculated by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such


  
 3 












 
person as the Issuer shall designate. For the avoidance of doubt, calculation of the Applicable Premium shall not be an obligation or duty of the Trustee, Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying
Agent. 
 “Bund Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of
direct obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany (Bunds or Bundesanleihen) with a constant maturity (as officially compiled and published in the most recent financial statistics that have become publicly available at least two
Business Days (but not more than five Business Days) prior to the redemption date (or, if such financial statistics are not so published or available, any publicly available source of similar market data selected by the Issuer in good faith)) most
nearly equal to the period from such redemption date to August 15, 2024; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to August 15, 2024 is not equal to the constant maturity of the direct obligation of the
Federal Republic of Germany for which a weekly average yield is given, the Bund Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields
of direct obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to August 15, 2024 is less than a year, the weekly average yield on actually traded direct obligations
of the Federal Republic of Germany adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. 
  

	7.	 Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes. 



The Issuer is entitled to redeem the Notes, at its option, at any time as a whole but not in part, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60
days’ notice, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date), in the event the Issuer has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of: 

(a) a change in or an amendment to the laws (including any regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) or 
 (b) any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the
application or interpretation of such laws or regulations, 
 which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after September 21,
2021 (or, if a jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after such date, after the date on which such jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under the Indenture) and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable
measures available to the Issuer or the Note Guarantors, individually or together (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent where this would be reasonable). 

  
 4 












 Before the Issuer publishes or gives notice of redemption of the Notes as described above,
the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Issuer cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. The Issuer will also deliver an opinion of
independent legal counsel of recognized standing stating that the Issuer would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change in tax laws or regulations or the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations. The Trustee
will accept such Officers’ Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. 

 

	8.	 Payment of Additional Amounts. 



The Issuer is required to make all payments under or with respect to the Notes free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on
account of any present or future Taxes in accordance with Section 4.16 of the Indenture. 
  

	9.	 Sinking Fund. 



The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund. 
  

	10	 .Notice of Redemption. 



At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the Issuer, or the Trustee (at the direction of the Issuer),
shall give notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. For Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or
Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders. Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid
interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with one or more Paying Agents on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to
accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
 In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official
List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, any such notice to the Holders of the relevant Notes shall also be published
in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
(www.bourse.lu), and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuer will notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of any change in the principal amount of Notes outstanding. 

  
 5 













	11.	 Purchase of Notes at the Option of Holders. 



Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, any Holder of Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture,
to cause the Issuer to purchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

 

	12.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 



The Notes are in registered form without interest coupons in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess
thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer will not be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected
for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or any Notes during the period after the relevant record
date and prior to the relevant interest payment date. 
  

	13.	 Persons Deemed Owners. 



Except as provided in paragraph 2 hereof, the registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	14.	 Unclaimed Money. 



Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money
held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and such Paying Agent shall
have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
  

	15.	 Discharge and Defeasance. 



Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture with
respect to the Notes if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations, or any combination thereof, for the payment of principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the Notes to redemption
or maturity, as the case may be. 

  
 6 













	16.	 Amendment, Waiver.

the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class and (ii) any existing Default or compliance with any provisions of the Indenture with respect to the Notes may
be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class.

and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate; (ii) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the
obligations of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor under the Indenture in compliance with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that
the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for U.S. Federal income tax purposes; (iv) to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Note Guarantee when such
release, termination or discharge is permitted under the Indenture; (v) to add to the covenants of the Company or the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or the Issuer
in the Indenture; (vi) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes in any material respect, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate; (vii) to make
any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer and legending of Notes; provided, however, that (A) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being
transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, and (B) such amendment does not materially affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; (viii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture; (ix) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge as security for the Notes any property or assets in accordance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture or (x) conform any provision of the
Indenture or the Notes to the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum. 
  

	17.	 Defaults and Remedies. 



An “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes occurs if: (i) the Issuer defaults in any payment of interest on any Note when
the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for 30 days; (ii) the Issuer defaults in the payment of principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption or required
repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; (iii) the Company, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor fails to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) the Issuer fails to comply with
Section 4.08 of the Indenture (other than a failure to purchase Notes) and such failure continues for 45 days after receipt of the notice from the Trustee or the Holders specified below; (v) the Company, the Issuer or any Manufacturing
Subsidiary fails to comply with its covenants or agreements with respect to such Notes contained in the Indenture (other 

  
 7 












 
than those referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after receipt of the notice from the Trustee or the Holders specified below;
(vi) the Company, the Issuer or any Manufacturing Subsidiary fails to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such
Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $150,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
the Company or the Issuer under Section 6.01(7) and Section 6.01(8) of the Indenture; (viii) any final and nonappealable judgment or decree (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess of $150,000,000 or its foreign
currency equivalent (treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not so covered) is rendered against the Company, the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary and such final judgment or decree remains outstanding and is not satisfied,
discharged or waived within a period of 60 days following such judgment; or (ix) any Note Guarantee by any Note Guarantor that is the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, or by a group of Subsidiary Guarantors which collectively (as of the then
most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the Company) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in each case ceases to be in full force and effect in all material respects (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any such
Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms such Note Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture or any Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after receipt of the notice specified below. 

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether such Event of Default is
voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under clause (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) or (ix) above shall not constitute an Event of Default
until the Trustee notifies the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the default and the Company, the Issuer or the Subsidiary, as applicable, does not cure such
default within any applicable time specified in clause (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) or (ix) above after receipt of such notice. 
 If an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or the Issuer under Section 6.01(7) or Section 6.01(8) of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee by notice to the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable.
If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or the Issuer under Section 6.01(7) or Section 6.01(8) of the Indenture occurs, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest
on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes
may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

	18.	 Trustee Dealings with the Issuer. 



The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with
and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

 

	19.	 No Recourse Against Others. 



A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture or of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

	22.	 Governing Law; Jury Trial Waiver. 



THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
