(b) In case any Authorized Officer who shall have signed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be an Authorized Officer before the Debt

had not ceased to be an Authorized Officer; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt Security, shall be Authorized Officers, although at the date of the

 SECTION 2.5 Form of Debt Securities. (a) The Debt Securities of each Series will be issued in
fully registered form without coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (for Global Securities), Exhibit B hereto (for Certificated Securities) or such other form as shall be set forth in the Authorization for such Series. 

(b) Each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

(c) If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to an Authorization that the Debt Securities of a Series are to be issued in whole or in part in
the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Authorized Officers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Debt Securities of such Series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall
be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear the appropriate legend, as set forth in Section 2.7 and Exhibit A. 

  
 9 













 (d) Each Depositary designated pursuant to this Section must, at the time of its designation
and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. 

(e) If at any time the Depositary for any Series of Debt Securities represented by a Global Security notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for such Global Security ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act or if at any time the Depositary for such Global
Security shall no longer be eligible to act as such under this Section 2.5, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Issuer
within 90 days after the Issuer receives notice from the Depositary or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer’s election pursuant to this Section 2.5 that Debt Securities of that Series be represented by a Global Security shall no
longer be effective and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer directing the authentication and delivery of Certificated Securities and an adequate supply of Certificated Securities,
will authenticate and deliver, without charge, Certificated Securities of that Series in any authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security in exchange for such Global Security. 

(f) The Issuer, at its option, may at any time determine to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary for any Series and make
Certificated Securities of such Series available to the Holders of Debt Securities of such Series or their nominees. 
 (g) If the Trustee
has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of any Series thereunder and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding
it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Debt Securities of such Series, the Trustee may in accordance with such legal advice determine that the Debt Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security or
Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. 
 (h) In any event described in Section 2.5(f) or
Section 2.5(g), the Issuer hereby agrees to execute and the Trustee, upon receipt from the Issuer of an adequate supply of Certificated Securities of such Series, will authenticate and deliver, in exchange for Global Securities of such Series,
Certificated Securities of such Series (and, if the Trustee has in its possession Certificated Securities of such Series previously executed by the Issuer, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver such Certificated Securities), in authorized
denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Securities of such Series. 
 (i) If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to Debt Securities of any Series, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Securities evidencing the Debt Securities of that Series will be entitled to registration in its name of a
principal amount of such Debt Securities equal to its beneficial interest in such Global Securities and to physical delivery of Certificated Securities if such owner so elects. Upon receiving notice of such election, the Issuer hereby agrees to
execute and the Trustee, upon receipt from the Issuer of an adequate supply of Certificated Securities, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for the beneficial interest of such owner in such Global Securities, Certificated Securities, in
authorized denominations, in a principal amount equal to the beneficial interest of such owner in such Global Securities. 

  
 10 













 (j) Certificated Securities will only be issued in exchange for interests in a Global
Security as described in Section 2.5(e) through Section 2.5(i) hereof. 
 SECTION 2.6 Registration, Transfer and Exchange
of Debt Securities. (a) The Issuer will keep books for the exchange and registration of Debt Securities at the specified office of the Registrar. The Trustee will act as registrar (the “Registrar”) and will keep a record of
all Debt Securities (the “Register”) at the specified office of the Registrar. The Register will show the principal amount of each Series of Debt Securities, the date of issue, all subsequent transfers and changes of ownership in
respect thereof and the names, tax identifying numbers and addresses of the Holders of each Series. The Registrar will also maintain a record (the “Record”) which will include notations as to whether Debt Securities have been paid
or cancelled, and, in the case of mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Debt Securities, whether such Debt Securities have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Debt Securities, the Record will include notations of the Debt
Security so replaced, and the Debt Security issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any Series of Debt Securities, the Record will include notations of the Series of Debt Securities so cancelled and the date on which such
Series was cancelled. The Registrar will at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice during office hours make the Register and the Record available to the Issuer or any Person authorized by the Issuer in writing for inspection and for the taking
of copies thereof or extracts therefrom, and, at the expense by the Issuer, the Registrar will deliver to such Persons all lists of Holders of Debt Securities, their addresses and amounts of such holdings as such Person may request. 

The Register and the Record will be in the English language in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into such form
within a reasonable time. 
 (b) The Issuer will keep or maintain an office or agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for payment
(the “Paying Agent”). 
 (c) The Issuer will appoint a Transfer Agent to effectuate the exchange or transfer of any Debt
Security on behalf of the Issuer hereunder. Subject to the requirements of paragraph 10(c) of the Terms, the Holder of a Certificated Security may transfer the same in whole or in part (in an amount equal to the authorized denomination or any
integral multiple thereof) by surrendering such Certificated Security at the Corporate Trust Office or at the specified office of the Transfer Agent, together with an executed instrument of transfer substantially in the form of Exhibit G to this
Indenture. In exchange for a Certificated Security of any Series properly presented for transfer, the Trustee will, within three Business Days of such request if made at such Corporate Trust Office, authenticate and deliver at such Corporate Trust
Office or at the office of such Transfer Agent, as the case may be, to the transferee or send by first class mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, a Certificated Security or Securities, as the case may
require, of such Series for like aggregate principal amount and of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer of any Certificated Security will not be valid unless made at the specified office of
the Transfer Agent by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. The Issuer will ensure that the Trustee will be provided with an
adequate supply of Certificated Securities for authentication and delivery pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.6. 
 (d) Subject to
the requirements of paragraph 10(b) of the Terms, at the option of the Holder, a Certificated Security may at any time be presented for exchange into an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities in different authorized
denominations, but only at the specified office of a Paying Agent together with a written request for the exchange. Subject to this Section 2.6(d) and paragraph 10(b) of the Terms, in exchange for a Certificated Security of any Series properly
presented for exchange, the Trustee will, within three Business Days of such request if made at such Corporate Trust Office, authenticate and deliver a Certificated Security or Securities of such Series for a like aggregate principal amount and of
such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The Issuer will ensure that the Trustee will be provided with an adequate supply of Certificated Securities for authentication and delivery pursuant to the terms of this
Section 2.6(d). 

  
 11 













 (e) The Issuer may change the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Transfer Agent without
notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of the Paying Agent, the Registrar and/or the Transfer Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as the
Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Transfer Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Transfer Agent with respect to the Debt Securities. 

(f) The costs and expenses of effecting any transfer, registration or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.6 will be borne by the Issuer,
except for the expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or governmental charge or insurance charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Registration of the transfer
of a Debt Security by the Registrar will be deemed to be the acknowledgment of such transfer on behalf of the Issuer. 
 (g) Members of, or
participants in, the Depositary shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or by the Trustee as its Custodian under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by
the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Transfer Agent and any of their respective agents as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent
the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Transfer Agent or any of their respective agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the
Depositary and participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Global Security. 

SECTION 2.7 Legends. Each Global Security will bear the legend specified therefor in Exhibit A on the face thereof. 

SECTION 2.8 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Stolen and Lost Debt Securities; Cancellation and Destruction of Debt Securities.
(a) The Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities in such amounts and at such times as to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Debt Securities. 

(b) The Trustee is hereby authorized, in accordance with and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph 10(a) of the Terms, to
authenticate and deliver from time to time Debt Securities of any Series in exchange for or in lieu of Debt Securities of such Series which become mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost. Each Debt Security delivered in exchange for or in lieu
of any Debt Security shall carry all the rights to interest (including rights to accrued and unpaid interest) which were carried by such Debt Security. 

(c) All Debt Securities surrendered for payment or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel all such Debt
Securities surrendered for payment or exchange in accordance with its usual practices, and shall deliver a certificate of cancellation to the Issuer upon written request. 

(d) Upon the issuance of any substitute Debt Security, the Holder of such Debt Security, if so requested by the Issuer, shall pay a sum
sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expense (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected with the preparation and issuance of the substitute Debt
Security. 

  
 12 













 (e) All Debt Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Debt Securities shall be
valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Debt Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

ARTICLE THREE 

REDEMPTION 

SECTION 3.1 Redemption. The Issuer may redeem the Debt Securities of any Series as set forth in the Terms, subject to the
conditions and at the redemption prices specified therein. 
 SECTION 3.2 Notice to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem any
of the Debt Securities, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least two New York Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to Section 3.4 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to
by the Trustee in writing) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (1) the Debt Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number, if applicable), (2) the paragraph or
subparagraph of such Debt Securities or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (3) the redemption date, (4) the principal amount of the Debt Securities to be redeemed and (5) the redemption price, if
then ascertainable. 
 SECTION 3.3 Selection of Debt Securities to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

(a) If less than all of a Series of Debt Securities are to be redeemed at any time, the Debt Securities to be redeemed or purchased will be
selected as follows (1) if the Debt Securities are in global form, in compliance with the requirements of the clearing system through which the Debt Securities are being held or (2) if the Debt Securities are in certificated form, on a pro
rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate, unless otherwise required by the procedures of an applicable stock exchange or clearing system. The amount to be redeemed shall be
notified to the Trustee by the Issuer. 
 (b) The Trustee shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Issuer in writing of the Debt
Securities selected for redemption or purchase following such selection and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Debt Securities and portions of
Debt Securities selected shall be in amounts of US$1,000 or whole number multiples of US$1,000; no Debt Securities of US$200,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Debt Securities of a Holder are to be redeemed or
purchased, the entire Outstanding amount of Debt Securities held by such Holder, even if not US$200,000 or a multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. No Debt Securities of any Holder shall remain Outstanding after a
redemption in part in a minimum amount of less than US$200,000. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Debt Securities called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Debt Securities
called for redemption or purchase. 
 (c) In the case of Certificated Securities, after the redemption date, upon surrender of a Debt
Security to be redeemed in part only, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Debt Securities, representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed, shall be issued in the
name of the Holder of the Debt Securities upon cancellation of the original Debt Security (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption). 

SECTION 3.4 Notice of Redemption. 

  
 13 













 (a) Notice of redemption of the Debt Securities shall be given to the Holders not less than
10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article Ten. 

(b) The notice shall identify the Debt Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number, if applicable) and shall state:

  

	 	(1)	 the redemption date; 



 

	 	(2)	 in connection with a redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Terms, the redemption price (if known)
(including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts) or the formula pursuant to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is
given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as described in paragraph 5 of the Terms, shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the
Trustee no later than two New York Business Days prior to the redemption date; and in connection with a redemption pursuant to paragraph 4 of the Terms, the notice need not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of calculation;



  

	 	(3)	 if any Debt Security is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Debt Security
that is to be redeemed; 


  

	 	(4)	 the name and address of the Paying Agent; 



 

	 	(5)	 that Debt Securities called for redemption, if in certificated form, must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any; 


  

	 	(6)	 that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from
making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Debt Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 



 

	 	(7)	 the paragraph or subparagraph of the Debt Securities or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Debt
Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; 


  

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


  

	 	(9)	 if applicable, any condition to such redemption. 



(c) 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 that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least two New York Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.4 (unless a shorter notice
shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.4(b). 

  
 14 













 (d) Any notice of redemption of Debt Securities delivered in connection with a redemption
pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Terms may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion of a corporate transaction that is pending (such as an equity or
equity-linked offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or an acquisition or other strategic transaction involving a change of control in the Issuer or another entity). If such redemption is so subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions
precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived on or prior to the New York Business Day immediately preceding
the relevant redemption date. The Issuer shall notify holders and the Trustee of any such rescission as soon as reasonably practicable after it determines that such conditions precedent will not be able to be satisfied or the Issuer shall not be
able or willing to waive such conditions precedent. Once the notice of redemption is mailed or sent, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in the notice of redemption, the Debt Securities called for redemption will become
due and payable on the redemption date and at the applicable redemption price as set forth in paragraph 5 of the Terms. 
 SECTION 3.5
Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.4 and subject to any conditions precedent in such notice, Debt Securities called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the date
fixed for redemption and will be paid at the redemption price together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including, the date fixed for redemption, at the place or places of payment and in the manner specified in the Debt
Securities. The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any
Debt Security designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security. Subject to this Section 3.5, from and after the redemption date, if moneys for the
redemption of the Debt Securities shall have been made available as provided in this Indenture for redemption on the redemption date, the Debt Securities shall cease to bear interest, and the only right of the Holders of the Debt Securities shall be
to receive payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. 

SECTION 3.6 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

(a) No later than 2:00 p.m. New York Time on one Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer shall deposit with the
Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Debt Securities to be redeemed or purchased on that date. If a Debt Security is redeemed or purchased on or after a
Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date shall be paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name such Debt Security was
registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders whose Debt Securities shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer. The Paying Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable mail to each
Holder whose Debt Securities are to be redeemed or repurchased the applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable return to the Issuer
any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Debt Securities to be redeemed or purchased. 

(b) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of Section 3.6(a), on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to
accrue on the Debt Securities or the portions of Debt Securities called for redemption or purchase. If any Debt Security called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the
Issuer to comply with Section 3.6(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not
paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Debt Securities and in this Indenture.

 SECTION 3.7 Debt Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part. In the case of
Certificated Securities, upon surrender of a Debt Security that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall as soon as reasonably practicable authenticate and mail to the
Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Issuer a new Debt Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Debt Security surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent
not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Debt Security shall be in a principal amount of US$200,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the
contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Debt Security. 

ARTICLE FOUR 
 COVENANTS

 SECTION 4.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or
cause to be paid the principal of and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on each of the Debt Securities and any other payments to be made by the Issuer under the Debt Securities and this Indenture, at the place or places, at the
respective times and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.2 Offices for Payments. So
long as any of the Debt Securities remain Outstanding, the Issuer will maintain (a) an office or agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for payment, (b) an office or agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for
exchange, transfer and registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided and (c) an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Debt Securities or of this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby
initially designates the office of the Paying Agent as the office or agency for each such purpose and as the place where the Register will be maintained; provided, however, that the Paying Agent shall not be deemed an agent of the Issuer for service
of process. In case the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the
Corporate Trust Office. The Issuer will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. 

SECTION 4.3 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the
office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.7, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder for each Series of Debt Securities. 

SECTION 4.4 Payments. (a) In order to provide for the payment of principal of and interest (including Additional Amounts, if
any) on the Debt Securities as the same shall become due and payable, the Issuer hereby agrees to pay or to cause to be paid to the account of the Paying Agent in its designated account (or, in the case of payments denominated in a currency other
than Dollars, at such other place as set forth in an Authorization), on or prior to each interest payment date or the maturity date (each, a “Payment Date”) of such Debt Securities, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York Time on one
Business Day prior to each Payment Date, in such currency of the United States of America (or in such other currency as shall be specified in the Terms of the Debt Securities of the Series with respect to which payment is to be made) as at the time
of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in immediately available funds, an amount which (together with any funds then held by the Trustee and available for the purpose) shall be sufficient to pay the aggregate
amount of interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) or principal or both, as the case may be, becoming due in respect of such Debt Securities on such Payment Date. The Trustee shall apply such amount to the payment due on such date and,
pending such application, such amounts shall be held in trust by the Trustee as provided by the Trust Indenture Act for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and the Issuer shall have no proprietary interest in such amounts. The Paying Agent
shall provide payment instructions to the Issuer no less than 15 days prior to each Payment Date. The Issuer, no later than 2:00 p.m. New York Time on the second Business Day immediately preceding each Payment Date, shall confirm instructions for
such payment or shall procure confirmation of such payment from the bank through which the payment instruction is to be effected to the Paying Agent relating to such payment, and the Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee (if other than the
Paying Agent) upon such confirmation. 

  
 16 













 (b) At least five New York Business Days prior to the first date for payment of interest on
each Series of Debt Securities and, if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned certificate, at least five New York Business Days prior to each date thereafter for the payment of principal of or interest
on such Debt Securities, the Issuer shall furnish the Trustee with a certificate of any one of the Authorized Officers specifically instructing the Trustee as to any circumstances in which payments of principal of or interest on such Debt Securities
due on such date shall be subject to deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes described in paragraph 3(a) of the Terms or otherwise and the rate of any such deduction or withholding. If any such deduction or withholding shall be
required and if the Issuer therefore becomes liable to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to paragraph 3(a) of the Terms or otherwise, then at least five New York Business Days prior to the date of any such payment of principal or interest, the Issuer
will furnish the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) with a certificate that specifies the amount required to be withheld on such payment to Holders of such Debt Securities and the Additional Amounts, if any, due to Holders of
such Debt Securities, and simultaneously will pay to the Trustee or the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) such Additional Amounts as shall be required to be paid to such Holders. 

(c) Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee for the purpose of paying amounts
due in respect of the Debt Securities of any Series, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee and the Issuer subject to the provisions of this Section, 

(i) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the Debt Securities of that Series in trust as
provided by the Trust Indenture Act for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of that Series or of the Trustee, 

(ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer to make any payment of the principal of or interest or
any Additional Amounts on the Debt Securities of that Series and any other payments to be made by or on behalf of the Issuer under this Indenture, when the same shall be due and payable, and 

(iii) that it will pay any such sums so held by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee’s written request at any time during
the continuance of a failure referred to in clause (ii) above. 
 Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer
may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held by any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be
held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. 
 Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreements to hold
sums in trust as provided in this Section are subject to the provisions of Section 10.3 and Section 10.4.

 SECTION 4.5 Reports by Issuer and Guarantor. 

So long as any Debt Securities are Outstanding, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall file with the Trustee and the SEC, and transmit to Holders,
such information, documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that, any such information,
documents or reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within 30 days after the same is filed with the SEC; provided further that the reports of such
entity shall not be required to include condensed consolidating financial information for the Issuer or the Guarantor in a footnote to the financial statements of such entity. 

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such
shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s compliance with any of their covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). It is expressly understood that materials transmitted electronically by the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Trustee or filed pursuant to the
SEC’s EDGAR system (or any successor electronic filing system) shall be deemed filed with the Trustee and transmitted to Holders for purposes of this Section 4.5. 

SECTION 4.6 Holders’ Lists. The Issuer and the Guarantor covenant and agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Trustee: 
 (a) semi-annually, within 15 days after each Record Date, but in any event not less frequently than semi-annually, a list in
such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders to which such Record Date applies, as of such Record Date, and 

(b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of
similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; 
 provided, however,
that so long as the Trustee shall be the Registrar, such lists shall not be required to be furnished. 
 SECTION 4.7 Compliance
Certificate. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee (a) annually, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor and, (b) upon written request by the Trustee, within 14 days of such
request, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or treasurer of each of the Issuer and the Guarantor as to his or her knowledge of the Issuer or the Guarantor’s
compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (which compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture), specifying if any Default has occurred and, in the
event that any Default has occurred, specifying each such Default and the nature and status thereof of which such person may have knowledge. Upon becoming aware of any Default, the Issuer shall promptly provide notice thereof to the Trustee. 

SECTION 4.8 Reports by Trustee. (a) So long as any Debt Securities are Outstanding, the Trustee shall transmit to
Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided therein. 

(b) The Trustee shall, at the time of the transmission to the Holders of Securities of any report pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 4.8, file a copy of such report with each securities exchange upon which the Debt Securities are listed or each automated quotation system on which the Debt Securities are quoted, if any, and also with the SEC in respect of a Debt
Security listed and registered on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any. The Issuer and the Guarantor agree to notify the Trustee when, as and if the Debt Securities become listed or delisted on any securities exchange
or admitted to trading on any automated quotation system and of any delisting thereof.

 ARTICLE FIVE 

SUCCESSOR COMPANY 

SECTION 5.1 Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets. (a) Prior to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,
the Guarantor and the Issuer may not consolidate with or merge into any other Person in a transaction or, directly or indirectly, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, unless either: 

(i) in the case of a consolidation or merger, the Guarantor or the Issuer is the continuing and surviving Person and no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or 
 (ii) (A) the Person formed by such consolidation or into
which the Issuer or the Guarantor is merged or to whom the Issuer or the Guarantor has conveyed, transferred or leased all or substantially all of its properties and assets expressly assumes by an indenture supplemental to this Indenture all the
obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture and the applicable Debt Securities and Guarantee, including the obligation to pay Additional Amounts, with respect to any jurisdiction in which the Person is organized
or resident for tax purposes also being considered a “Relevant Jurisdiction” for purposes of the Additional Amounts provision; 

 (B) immediately before and after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default under the applicable
Series of Debt Securities shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
  (C) the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable,
has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture and that all conditions
precedent therein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with. 
 (b) An assumption of the Issuer’s Obligations
under a Series of Debt Securities by any Person might be deemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be an exchange of such Debt Securities for new Debt Securities by the beneficial owners thereof, resulting in the recognition of gain or loss for
such purposes and possibly certain other adverse tax consequences. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of such an assumption.

 ARTICLE SIX 

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT 

SECTION 6.1 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. (a) The Issuer covenants that if
(i) there shall be a Default in the payment of any interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on a Series of Debt Securities when such interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) shall have become due and payable, and such
Default shall have continued for the period specified in the terms and conditions of such Debt Securities, or (ii) there shall be a Default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of a Series of the Debt Securities when the
same Series shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, and such Default shall have continued for the period specified in the terms and conditions of such Series of Debt Securities, then upon demand of
the Trustee acting on the direction of the Holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of such Series of Debt Securities then Outstanding, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Series of Debt Securities, and
only such Series, the whole amount that shall have become due and payable on all Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series, and only such Series, for principal or interest (including Additional Amounts, if any), as the case may be (with interest to
the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the rate of overdue interest specified in such Series of Debt
Securities); and in addition thereto, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and
each predecessor trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any reasonable and documented expenses and liabilities, and all reasonable and documented advances, by the Trustee and each predecessor trustee except as a result of their
gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. 
 (b) Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of, and
interest on (including Additional Amounts, if any), the Debt Securities to the Holders, whether or not any payment under the Debt Securities shall be overdue. 

(c) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, file any and all
claims, proofs of claim, proofs of debt, petitions, consents, other papers and documents and amendments of any thereof, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of any of such Holders in respect of any of the
Debt Securities allowed in any such proceeding, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be
payable, subject in all cases to the limitations set forth in Section 12.8. 
 (d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under
this Indenture or the Debt Securities of any Series may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any Debt Securities or the production thereof on any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their
respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of that Series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

(e) In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Trustee shall be a party) with respect to one or several Series of Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of such Series of Debt Securities, and it shall not be necessary to make any such Holders parties to
any such proceedings. 
 SECTION 6.2 Application of Proceeds. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such monies on account of principal or interest (including Additional Amounts), upon presentation of the Debt Securities of the Series in
respect of which money has been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Debt Securities in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Debt Securities if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof
if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the Trustee and the agents to the extent necessary to reimburse the Trustee and the Agents for any expenses
incurred in connection with the collection or distribution of such amounts held or realized and any fees and expenses (including indemnity payments) incurred in connection with carrying out its functions under this Indenture (including reasonable
legal fees); 

  
 20 













 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on the Debt Securities of the relevant Series in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Debt
Securities of such Series for principal and premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: Any surplus remaining after such
payments will be paid to the Issuer or to whomever may be lawfully entitled thereto. 
 SECTION 6.3 Suits for Enforcement. If an
Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion (but is not required to) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in
this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 SECTION 6.4
Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been
determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders
shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. 
 SECTION 6.5 Limitations on Suits by Holders. Except as provided
in Section 6.6, no Holder of any Debt Securities of any Series shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of such Series to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or of the Debt Securities, or for any other remedy hereunder or under the Debt Securities, unless (a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice
of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to such Series of Debt Securities, (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of Debt Securities of such Series shall have made specific written
request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have provided to the Trustee indemnity and/or other security to its satisfaction as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and (c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of indemnity and/or other security, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding
and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by every Holder of Debt Securities of a Series with
every other Holder of Debt Securities of such Series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holder shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Debt Securities of such Series or to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture or under the Debt Securities of such Series, except
in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Debt Securities of such Series; for the protection and enforcement of this Section, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief
as can be given either at law or in equity. 

  
 21 













 SECTION 6.6 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding Section 6.5, each Holder of Debt Securities shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on (including Additional Amounts) its Debt Security on the Stated
Maturity date for such payment expressed in such Debt Security (as such Debt Security may be amended or modified pursuant to Article Fifteen) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.7 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Terms, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Debt Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right
and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 (b) No delay
or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of Debt Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any such
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 6.5, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Debt Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holders. 
 SECTION 6.8 Control by Holders; Waiver of Past Defaults.
(a) Subject to Section 6.8(c), the Holders of a Majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Debt Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such Series. 

(b) Any direction pursuant to Section 6.8(a) shall only be in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, and (subject to
the provisions of Section 7.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the
Trustee determines in good faith that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 (c) Nothing
in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee at its sole and absolute discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Holders of the Debt Securities with respect to which
such action is to be taken. 
 (d) The Holders of not less than a Majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any
Series may, by written notice to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such Series waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a continuing
Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of the principal of, or interest on (or Additional Amounts payable in respect of), the relevant Debt Securities then Outstanding, in which event the consent of all Holders of such Series is
required, and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under Section 15.2(e) cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of such Series of the Debt Securities then Outstanding affected thereby. Upon any such
waiver, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities of such Series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.8, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of
the Debt Securities of such Series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing. 

  
 22 













 SECTION 6.9 Payments After a Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and the subsequent declaration by the Trustee that the principal amount of all the Debt Securities of a Series is due and payable immediately (pursuant to paragraph 9 of the Terms), the Trustee may by notice in writing: (a) to the Issuer and
any Paying Agent, require each Paying Agent (if any) to deliver all Debt Securities of such Series and all monies, documents and records held by them with respect to the Debt Securities of such Series to the Trustee or as the Trustee otherwise
directs in such notice; and (b) require any Paying Agent to act as agent of the Trustee under this Indenture and the Debt Securities of such Series, and thereafter to hold all Debt Securities of such Series and all monies, documents and records
held by it in respect of Debt Securities of such Series to the order of the Trustee. 
 SECTION 6.10 Undertaking for Costs. All
parties to this Indenture and each Holder of any Debt Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed that any court may in its discretion require, in any action, suit or proceeding for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture, or in any action, suit or proceeding against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such action, suit or proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
action, suit or proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such action, suit or proceeding, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not apply to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee, to any action, suit or proceeding
instituted by any one or more Holders of Debt Securities holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any Series Outstanding, or to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any Holder of Debt Securities of
any Series for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest, on, any of the Debt Securities of such Series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Securities. 

SECTION 6.11 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relating to the Issuer, the Guarantor or its or their respective creditors, any custodian or other party making payment 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 compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6 hereof. No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debt Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
such proceeding. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.1 General. (a) The duties, rights, remedies and responsibilities of the Trustee are as set forth herein and the
Terms. Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to this Article. The rights, protections, indemnities and
immunities afforded to the Trustee under this Article Seven will also apply to the Agents. 
 (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise those 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. 

  
 23 













 (c) Unless and until an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of any Series
shall have happened which at the time is continuing, 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties with respect to the Debt Securities of such Series as are specifically set out in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee, whose duties and obligations shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (ii) the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, upon certificates and opinions furnished to it pursuant to the express provisions of this Indenture; provided that, in
the case of any such certificates or opinions which, by the provisions of this Indenture, are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein). 

(d) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as relieving the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action,
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that, anything in this Indenture contained to the contrary notwithstanding, 

(i) the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder of Debt Securities or to any other Person for any error of judgment made in
good faith by the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder of Debt Securities or to any other Person with respect to any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of Holder of Debt Securities given as provided in Section 6.8, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to it or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
 (iii) none of the provisions of this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any 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 for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate security, pre-funding and/or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and 

(iv) this subsection (d) shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (c) of this Section 7.1. 

(e) If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer or the Guarantor, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Issuer or the Guarantor. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Trustee will not be responsible for recitals, statements, warranties or representations of any party contained in this Indenture or any other agreement or other document, entered into in connection herewith or therewith and will
assume the accuracy and correctness thereof and will not be responsible for the execution, legality, effectiveness, adequacy, genuineness, validity or enforceability or admissibility in evidence of any such agreement or other document or any trust
or security thereby constituted or evidenced, and the Trustee will not be bound to investigate or make any enquiry into whether or not any default or failure is or was known to the Trustee or might be, or might have been, discovered upon
examination, inquiry or investigation and whether or not capable of remedy. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, each Holder will be solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigation into the financial
condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Issuer and the Guarantor, and the Trustee will not at any time have any responsibility for the same and each Holder may not rely on the Trustee in respect thereof. The Trustee
will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any of the provisions in this Indenture or the financial performance of the Issuer and the Guarantor, and shall be entitled to assume that the Issuer and the
Guarantor are in compliance with all the provisions of this Indenture unless notified to the contrary in writing.

 (g) For so long as any of the Debt Securities are listed on the Singapore Exchange and the
rules of the Singapore Exchange so require, the Issuer shall appoint and maintain a Paying Agent in Singapore, where the Debt Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment or redemption, in the event that a Global Securities is exchanged
for Certificated Securities. In addition, in the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Certificated Securities, an announcement of such exchange shall be made by or on behalf of the Issuer through the Singapore Exchange and such announcement
will include all material information with respect to the delivery of the Certificated Securities, including details of the Paying Agent in Singapore. 

SECTION 7.2 Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to Section 7.1: 

(a) In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, and will be protected
in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, judgement, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
(whether in original or facsimile form) 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, but, in the case of any document that is
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee will examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). The Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, in each
case conforming to Section 12.6, and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys, delegates and agents and will not be responsible for supervising any attorney, delegate or
agent or for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney, delegate or agent appointed with due care by it hereunder. To the extent an agent has been named by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture, the parties hereto will cooperate to ensure
that such agent can perform the duties for which it was appointed. Upon an Event of Default, the Trustee will be entitled to require all agents (including the Paying and Transfer Agent) to act solely in accordance with its directions. 

(d) The Trustee will 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, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against any costs, loss, liability or expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 25 













 (e) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture relating to the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. 

(f) The Trustee may engage and consult with counsel or other professional advisors of its selection, and the written advice of such counsel or
advisors or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. The Issuer and the Guarantor agree to jointly and
severally reimburse the Trustee upon its request in writing for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances (including cost of
collection) incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this paragraph in connection with engagement or consultation with counsel, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be caused by the Trustee’s own gross negligence,
fraud or willful misconduct. 
 (g) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(h) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of
officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate. 

(i) In connection with the exercise by it of its trusts, powers, authorities or discretions as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances (if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), the Trustee will have regard to the general interests of the Holders as a class but will not have regard to any interests arising from circumstances particular to
individual Holders (whatever their number) and in particular, but without limitation, will not have regard to the consequences of the exercise of its trusts, powers, authorities or discretions for individual Holders (whatever their number) resulting
from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any country, state or territory and a Holder shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Holder be entitled to claim, from
the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any other Person any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual Holders except to the extent already provided in paragraph 3 of the Terms and/or any
undertaking given in addition to, or in substitution for, paragraph 3 of the Terms pursuant to this Indenture. The permissive rights or the discretionary powers of the Trustee enumerated herein will not be construed as duties . Wherever in this
Indenture, the Global Security, or other documents relating thereto, or by law, the Trustee is provided with discretion or permissive power, it may decline to exercise the same unless it has been instructed by the Holders according to this Indenture
and subject to being indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction. 
 (j) In the event the Trustee or the Paying and Transfer Agent
receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity and/or security from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a Majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding, pursuant to the provisions
of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine what action, if any, will be taken. 

  
 26 













 (k) Under no circumstance will the Trustee be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (inter alia, being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit), whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 (l) The Trustee will not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture or any other
transaction document because of circumstances beyond the Trustee’s control, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, pandemic, epidemic, fire, riot, embargo, any laws, ordinances,
regulations or the like which restrict or prohibit the performance of the obligations contemplated by this Indenture or any other transaction document, inability to obtain or the failure of equipment, or interruption of communications or computer
facilities, and other causes beyond the Trustee’s control whether or not of the same class or kind as specifically named above. 
 (m)
Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Trustee and the Agents, any conflict of interest that may arise by virtue of the Trustee and/or the Agents acting in various capacities under the Debt Securities, the
Guarantees or this Indenture or for other customers of the Trustee and the Agents. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor acknowledges that the Trustee and the Agents and their respective affiliates (together, the “Agent Parties”) may
have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which the Issuer and the Guarantor may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or
not material to the Issuer and the Guarantor) other than as a result of the Trustee and/or the Agents acting as the Trustee and/or the Agents hereunder, that the Trustee and/or the Agents may not be entitled to share with the Issuer and/or the
Guarantor. The Trustee and the Agents will not disclose confidential information obtained from the Issuer and the Guarantor (without its consent) to any of the Trustee and/or the Agent’s other customers or affiliates nor will it use on the
Issuer and the Guarantor’s behalf any confidential information obtained from any other customer. Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Issuer and the Guarantor agree that the Agent Parties may deal (whether for its own or its
customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any party and that such dealing or giving of advice, will not constitute a conflict of interest for the purposes of the Debt Securities, the Guarantees or this Indenture. 

(n) The Trustee will not be bound to enforce the provisions of this Indenture unless it is (x) directed to do so by the Holders of a
Majority of the Series of Debt Securities in writing and (y) indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction. 
 (o) Notwithstanding
anything else herein contained, the Trustee may refrain without liability from doing anything that would or might in its opinion be contrary to any law of any state or jurisdiction (including but not limited to Hong Kong, the United States of
America or any jurisdiction forming a part of it and England & Wales) or any directive or regulation of any agency of any such state or jurisdiction and may without liability do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with
any such law, directive or regulation. Furthermore, the Trustee may also refrain from taking such action if it would otherwise render it liable to any Person in that jurisdiction or if, in its opinion based upon such legal advice, it would not have
the power to do the relevant thing in that jurisdiction by virtue of any applicable law in that jurisdiction or if it is determined by any court or other competent authority in that jurisdiction that it does not have such power. 

(p) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture unless the Trustee has received
written notice of such Default or Event of Default. 
 SECTION 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee or any agent of the
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and nothing herein shall obligate the Trustee to account for any profits earned from any business or transactional relationship. 

  
 27 













 SECTION 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (a) makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Debt Securities or the Guarantees, (b) is not accountable for the Issuer’s use or application of the proceeds from the Debt Securities, (c) is not responsible for
any statement in the Debt Securities other than its certificate of authentication and (d) shall not have any responsibility for the Issuer’s or any Holder’s compliance with any state or U.S. federal securities law in connection with
the Debt Securities. 
 SECTION 7.5 Notice of Default. Within 90 days after the occurrence thereof and if known to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall give to the Holders of the Debt Securities of a Series notice of each Default or Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such Series known to the Trustee, by transmitting such notice to Holders at their
addresses as the same shall then appear on the Register, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any Debt Security, the Trustee may and shall be protected in withholding the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the applicable Series of Debt
Securities. 
 SECTION 7.6 Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Issuer and the Guarantor agree to be jointly and
severally responsible for and will pay the Trustee compensation as agreed upon in writing for its services. The compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the
Trustee upon written request for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances (including costs of collection) incurred or made by the
Trustee, including the reasonable and documented compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee’s agents and counsel and other Persons not regularly within its employ, except any such expense, disbursement or advance caused by its own
gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. 
 (b) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor agree to jointly and severally indemnify the
Trustee and its agents, employees, officers and directors for, and hold it harmless against, any obligations, taxes, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements, loss or liability or expense of any kind incurred by it without
gross negligence, fraudulent activity or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with (i) the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Debt Securities, the Guarantees, as
the case may be, including the costs of and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.6) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other
Person), (ii) this Indenture and other transaction documents relating hereto or (iii) any instructions or directions upon which the Trustee may rely under this Indenture, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Debt Securities. The Trustee
will notify the Issuer and the Guarantor promptly of any third party claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and Guarantor will not relieve the Issuer or the Guarantor of their obligations hereunder. The
Issuer and the Guarantor will defend the claim, and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel, and the Issuer and Guarantor will pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. 

(c) To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Debt Securities on all
money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, and interest on particular Debt Securities. 

  
 28 













 (d) This Section 7.6 will survive the redemption or maturity of the Debt Securities,
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 10.6, and the resignation or termination of the appointment of the Trustee. 

(e) All compensation and indemnity payments made by the Issuer and/or the Guarantor to the Trustee for the sole account of the Trustee under
this Indenture will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature (including related penalties, interest and
other liabilities) (hereinafter, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of the Relevant Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or any other
jurisdiction in which the Issuer or the Guarantor is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made. If the Issuer or the Guarantor is so required by law or by regulation or
governmental policy having the force of law to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to such payments to the Trustee, the Issuer will pay such
additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Trustee (including such additional amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the Trustee would have received if such Taxes had not been
withheld or deducted; provided that, the Trustee will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any payments that would arise as a result of the foregoing, including transferring the role of the Trustee to an affiliate of the Trustee.

 (f) Whenever the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default or an Event of Default specified in paragraph 9(v) of the
Terms, the expenses and compensation for such services (including the fees of the Trustee’s agents and counsel) are intended to constitute administrative expenses for purposes of priority under any Bankruptcy Law. 

SECTION 7.7 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) The Trustee may resign at any time by written
notice to the Issuer. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.7. Any Trustee hereunder
may be removed with respect to any Series of Debt Securities at any time by the filing with such Trustee and the delivery to the Issuer of an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Holders of a Majority in principal amount of the Debt
Securities of such Series then Outstanding, specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective. 
 If at any time: 

 

	 	(1)	 the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the TIA after written request
therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security for at least six months, or 


  

	 	(2)	 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security for at least six months, or 


  

	 	(3)	 the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 



then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer by written notice to the Trustee may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Debt
Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of the TIA, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Debt Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 29 













 (b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a Majority in principal
amount of the Debt Securities may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Issuer. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee shall be entitled (but not obligated) (at the expense of the Issuer) to appoint
another trustee, or the retiring trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a Majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(c) Upon delivery by the successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer, (i) the
retiring Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.6, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the
successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. Upon request of any successor Trustee, the Issuer will execute any and all instruments for fully vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee
all such rights, powers and trusts. The Issuer will give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders, and include in the notice the name of the successor Trustee and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 (d) Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Issuer’s
obligations under Section 7.6 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.8 Successor Trustee by
Consolidation, Merger, Conversion or Transfer. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets (including the administration of the trust created
by this Indenture) to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act will be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the
successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in this Indenture. 
 SECTION 7.9 Money Held In Trust. The Trustee will
not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as it may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. (a) The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of
Section 310(a) of the TIA. The Trustee is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least US$50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with effect hereinafter specified in Section 7.7. 

  
 30 













 (b) The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided,
however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(i) of the TIA any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer or the
Guarantor are Outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the TIA, the Trustee
shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. If Section 310(b) of the TIA is amended any time after the date of this
Indenture to change the circumstances under which a Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Debt Securities of any Series or to change any of the definitions in connection therewith, this Section 7.10 shall be
automatically amended to incorporate such changes. 
 SECTION 7.11 Communications by Holders with Other
Holders. Holders of Debt Securities may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the TIA with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Debt Securities. The Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the
Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of Section 312(c) of the TIA with respect to such communications. 
 ARTICLE
EIGHT 
 CONCERNING THE HOLDERS 

SECTION 8.1 Evidence of Action Taken by Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of any Series of Debt Securities may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments is or are received by the Trustee for such Series. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent will be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article. 

SECTION 8.2 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Debt Securities. (a) Subject to Section 7.1 and
Section 7.2, the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his or her agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as may be satisfactory to the
Trustee. 
 (b) The holding of Debt Securities for purposes of this Indenture will be proved by the Register maintained pursuant to
Section 2.6. 
 (c) if the Issuer or the Guarantor shall solicit from the Holders of Debt Securities of any Series any action, the
Issuer and the Guarantor may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Debt Securities entitled to take such action, but the Issuer and the Guarantor shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date
shall be fixed at the Issuer and the Guarantor’s discretion; provided that such record date shall not be more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of any consent or waiver or more than 30 days prior to the date of the most recent
list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 312 of the TIA. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Debt Securities
of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of Debt Securities for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series have authorized or
agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series shall be computed as of such record date. 

SECTION 8.3 Holders to Be Treated as Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat
any Person in whose name any Debt Security may be registered upon the Register as the absolute owner of such Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security is overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest (including Additional Amounts) on such Debt Security and for all other purposes; and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any
agent of the Issuer or the Trustee will be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability for monies payable upon any such Debt Security. 

  
 31 













 SECTION 8.4 Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not
after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any Series or of the percentage of votes cast required in
this Indenture in connection with such action, the Holder of a Debt Security of any Series that have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke
such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid, any action taken by a Holder as provided in Section 8.1 or this Section 8.4 shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders
and owners of such Debt Security and of any Debt Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Debt Security. 

ARTICLE NINE

Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions (including, where applicable, provisions for redemption, defeasance and sinking funds) as the Issuer shall consider to be appropriate for the Holders of Debt Securities of any
Series, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies
provided in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities of that Series; provided that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after
default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of
Default or may limit the right of the Holders to waive such an Event of Default; 
 (b) to surrender any rights or powers of the Issuer

 (c) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property or assets to

make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, the Debt Securities of any Series or under any supplemental indenture that is not inconsistent with the Debt Securities of the affected Series and which shall
not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities of the affected Series; 

  
 32 













 (e) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor, and the

supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Any
supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities of the affected Series, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.2 or Article
Fifteen. 
 In the event of a conflict between any supplemental indenture or amendment executed pursuant to this Section 9.1 and the
Terms of the relevant Series of Debt Securities so supplemented or amended, the language in such supplemental indenture or amendment shall control. 

SECTION 9.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. (a) Upon approval of a Modification pursuant to

own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its sole and absolute discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 

(c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 
 (d) Promptly after the execution by the
Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall at the expense of the Issuer, provide notice thereof to the affected Holders as provided in paragraph 14 of the Terms,
setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Issuer to publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.


  
 33 













 (e) In the event of a conflict between any supplemental indenture or amendment executed
pursuant to this Section 9.2 and the Terms of the relevant Series of Debt Securities so supplemented or amended, the language in such supplemental indenture or amendment shall control. 

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, no approval is needed by Holders of any other Series of Debt Securities to take any action under this
Indenture with respect to a Series of Debt Securities that has received sufficient approval from Holders of such Series of Debt Securities. The rights of Holders of each Series of Debt Securities under this Indenture shall be independent and
separate of the rights of each other Series of Debt Securities. 
 SECTION 9.3 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture and the Debt Securities of the affected Series shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations
of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Holders of the affected Series shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 

SECTION 9.4 Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 and
Section 7.2, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 15.5, one or more Officers’ Certificates or Certificates and Opinion or Opinions of Counsel addressed to the Trustee as
conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 9.5
Notation on Debt Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures. Debt Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form and manner
approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Debt Securities so modified as to conform to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer at the expense of the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debt Securities of the affected Series. 

ARTICLE TEN 
 DEFEASANCE;
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 10.1 Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. (a) The Issuer may, at its option
and at any time, elect to have either Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) applied to all Outstanding Debt Securities of a Series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Ten. 

  
 34 













 (b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable
to this paragraph (b), the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.4, be deemed to have been discharged from its Obligations with respect to all Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series on the date
the conditions set forth in Section 10.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented
by the Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be Outstanding only for the purposes of Section 10.3 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in Section 10.1(b)(i) or (ii), and to
have satisfied all of its other Obligations under the Debt Securities of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series of Debt Securities (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(i) the rights of Holders of the Debt Securities of the relevant Series that are then Outstanding to receive payments in
respect of the principal of, or interest or premium on the Debt Securities of such Series when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 10.3; 

(ii) the Issuer’s Obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of the relevant Series, concerning issuing temporary
Debt Securities, registration of Debt Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 

(iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee for the relevant Series of Debt Securities,
and the Issuer’s Obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (iv) this Section 10.1 and Section 10.3 with
respect to the Debt Securities of such Series. 
 Following the Issuer’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Debt
Securities of such Series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article Ten, the Issuer may exercise its option under this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
paragraph (c) hereof. 
 (c) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph
(c), the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.2, be released from its Obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.5 hereof on and after the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Debt Securities of such Series shall thereafter be deemed not Outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be Outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that the Debt Securities of such Series shall not be deemed Outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in
any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the terms of the relevant Series of Debt Securities, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Debt Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In
addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.2, paragraphs 9(a)(iii), (iv) (only with respect to
covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), (v) and (vi) of the Terms, in each case, shall not constitute Events of Default. 

SECTION 10.2 Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option only
if: 
 (a) the Issuer has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of all Debt Securities of such
Series subject to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, cash in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligation, or a combination of cash in Dollars and U.S. Government Obligation, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an internationally
recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium on the Debt Securities of such Series that are then Outstanding on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable
redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Debt Securities of such Series are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

  
 35 













 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) 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 Independent Legal Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the then Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal 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 Legal
Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the then Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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 Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d) no Default or Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such Series has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit
referred to in clause (a) above (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); 

(e) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit referred to in clause (a) above was
not made by it with the intent of preferring the Holders of Debt Securities of such Series over the Issuer’s other creditors with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding its creditors or others; and 

(f) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 SECTION 10.3 Deposited Money and
U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) Subject to Section 10.4, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 10.2 in respect of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Debt Securities of such Series and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities of such Series, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (b) The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 10.2 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the account of
the Holders. 

  
 36 













 (c) Anything in this Article Ten to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver
or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 10.2 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 10.2(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION 10.4 Repayment to the Issuer. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law,
any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security and remaining unclaimed for five years after such principal, premium,
if any, or interest has become due and payable will, at the option of the Issuer or the Guarantor, be paid to the Issuer or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Debt Security shall thereafter look
only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

SECTION 10.5 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 10.1(b) or (c), as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s Obligations under
this Indenture and the Debt Securities of such Series will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or (c) until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money
in accordance with Section 10.1(b) or (c), as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security following the reinstatement of its Obligations, the Issuer will be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 10.6
Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Debt Securities of any Series when: 

(a) either: 
 (i)
all Debt Securities of such Series that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Debt Securities that have been replaced or paid and Debt Securities of such Series for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter
repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (ii) all Debt Securities of such Series that
have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or the Guarantor has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligation, or a combination of cash in Dollars and U.S. Government Obligation, in amounts as will
be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge all amounts Outstanding on the Debt Securities of such Series not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the
date of maturity or redemption; 
 (b) no Default or Event of Default under this Indenture has occurred and is continuing on the date of the
deposit referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above with respect to such Series of Debt Securities (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from or related to the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will
not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound; 

(c) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such Series;
and 

  
 37 













 (d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to
apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Debt Securities of such Series at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 

(e) In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to
customary assumptions and exclusions) to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.6(a)(2), the provisions of Section 10.7 and Section 10.4 shall survive. 

SECTION 10.7 Application of Trust Money. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4, all money deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.6 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Debt Securities of such Series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, to
the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(b) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 10.6 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 Obligations under this Indenture, the Debt Securities of such
Series will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.6; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security of such Series because of
the reinstatement of its Obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.

GUARANTEES 

SECTION 11.1 Guarantees. (a) The Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder and the
Trustee, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) the Debt Securities, when due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, and all other Obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder (such guaranteed obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) on a senior unsecured basis. The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein
constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and agrees to pay, in addition to the amounts stated in sub-paragraph (f) of this Section 11.1, all reasonable and documented expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee except as a result of its own gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, or incurred by the Holders in enforcing or exercising any rights under any Guarantee. Furthermore, each
Guarantee will constitute a separate obligation of the Guarantor and will relate solely to the payment of the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the relevant Series of Debt Securities (including any Additional Amounts payable in
respect thereof). 
 (b) The Guarantees will (i) constitute senior unsecured obligations of the Guarantor; (ii) at all times rank
at least equally with all other present and future senior unsecured obligations of the Guarantor, except as may be required by mandatory provisions of law; (iii) be senior in right of payment to all future subordinated obligations of the
Guarantor; and (iv) be effectively subordinated to secured obligations of the Guarantor, to the extent of the assets serving as security therefor. 

  
 38 













 (c) In no event will the Trustee or the Holders be obligated to pursue or exhaust its legal
or equitable remedies prior to exercising any rights under any Guarantee. 
 (d) The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes
an absolute and unconditional and continuing guarantee of payment. The Guarantor hereby waives the effects of any of the following on its payment obligations hereunder and agrees that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not
alter or impair the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, in each case, to the extent permitted by law: 
 (i) any claim as
to the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Debt Securities or any other agreement; 
 (ii)
diligence, presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of its Obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment; 

(iii) the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the
Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Debt Securities or any other agreement; 
 (iv) any extension or renewal
of the Obligations, this Indenture, the Debt Securities or any other agreement; 
 (v) any rescission, waiver, amendment or
modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Debt Securities or any other agreement; 
 (vi) the
existence of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings involving the Issuer; 
 (vii) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, termination or defense of any kind or nature which may be available to or asserted by the Guarantor or the Issuer against the Holders or the Trustee; 

(viii) any impairment, taking, furnishing, exchange or release of, or failure to perfect or obtain protection of any security
interest in, any collateral securing this Indenture and the Debt Securities and any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any Holder to any such collateral; and 

(ix) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent
vary the risk of the Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a defense or discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (e)
Except as provided in Section 11.2, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder will not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason other than: 

(i) repayment in full of the relevant Series of Debt Securities; or 

(ii) a Legal Defeasance of the relevant Series of Debt Securities as provided in Section 10.1. 

(f) The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 

  
 39 













 (g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the
Trustee or any Holder has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of: 

(i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing; and 

(ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law); 

provided that any delay by the Trustee in giving such written demand shall in no event affect the Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee.

 (h) The Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand: 

(i) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its
Guarantee herein; and 
 (ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. 

SECTION 11.2 Termination, Release and Discharge. The Guarantor will be released from and relieved of its obligations under its
Guarantee in the event: (i) of repayment in full of the relevant Series of Debt Securities, (ii) that there is a Legal Defeasance of the relevant Series of Debt Securities as pursuant to Section 10.1(b) hereof,
(iii) that there is a Satisfaction and Discharge of the relevant Series of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 10.6 or (iv) upon the sale of all or substantially all of its assets in compliance with
Section 5.1 of this Indenture; provided that the transaction is otherwise carried out pursuant to and in accordance with all other applicable provisions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 11.3 No Subrogation. The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full in cash in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in Dollars and U.S. Government Obligations of all Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in Dollars and U.S. Government Obligations, such amount shall be held by the
Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and will, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly endorsed by the
Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations. 
 SECTION 11.4 Limitation on Guarantor
Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Debt Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of
Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the
Guarantor hereby agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such
laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

SECTION 12.1 Officers and Directors of Issuer and Guarantor Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any

Guarantor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Debt
Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Debt Securities. 
 SECTION 12.2 Provisions

conflicts with the duties imposed by, or with a provision included in this Indenture which is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of, the TIA, such imposed duties or incorporated
provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA, which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case
may be.

communications. 
 (i) All notices delivered pursuant to this Section must be in writing, in English and will be deemed effective upon
actual receipt. 
 (ii) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any or all Series, such notice will be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if given in accordance with paragraph 14 of the Terms of the affected Series. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive

 SECTION 12.6 Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel;
Statements to Be Contained Therein. Upon any application or demand by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, at the request of the Trustee, the Issuer will furnish to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of
such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 
 Each Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture will include: 
 (a) a statement that the
person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; 
 (b) a brief
statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 

(c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her
to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
 (d) a statement as to whether
or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 
 Any certificate, statement or opinion of an
Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such Officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon
which his or her certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it
relates to factual matters, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an Officer or Officers of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters

forth in the Debt Securities of a Series will have the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity of that Series, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

PROVISIONS FOR MEETINGS OF HOLDERS 

SECTION 13.1 Meeting of Holders. (a) The Issuer or the Trustee at any time may, and upon a request in writing (specifying the
proposed action to be taken) to the Trustee made by Holders holding not less than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any Series the Trustee will, convene a meeting of Holders of the Debt Securities of that Series in The City
of New York. The Issuer or the Trustee, as applicable, will give notice of each meeting of Holders of the Debt Securities of a Series, setting forth the time and place of the meeting and in general terms the topics to be discussed, or the action to
be taken, at that meeting, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of any Series a Person must be, as of the date reasonably set by the
Trustee, (i) a Holder of one or more Debt Securities of that Series or (ii) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by the Holder of one or more Debt Securities of that Series. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be
present or to speak at any meeting of Holders will be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, the Trustee and its counsel, and any representatives of the Issuer and its counsel. Any procedures governing the conduct of
meetings of Holders not described in this Article Thirteen will be set by the Trustee. 

  
 44 













 (b) Holders entitled to vote a Majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities
at the time Outstanding shall constitute a quorum at any meeting. No business may be transacted in the absence of a quorum, unless a quorum is present when the meeting is called to order. In the absence of a quorum within thirty minutes of the time
appointed for any such meeting, the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than ten days as determined by the chairman of the meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting need be given only once but must be given not less
than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting must state expressly the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of such Series at the
time Outstanding which shall constitute a quorum. 
 (c) Any Holder of a Debt Security of the Series with respect to which such meeting is
being held who has executed an instrument in writing appointing a Person as proxy will be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided that such Holder will be considered as present or
voting only with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of any Series duly held in accordance with this Section will be binding on all the
Holders of Debt Securities of such Series whether or not present or represented at the meeting. 
 (d) The appointment of any proxy will be
proved by having the signature of the person executing the proxy guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or London or New York Stock Exchange member firm satisfactory to the Issuer. The holding of Debt Securities will be proved by the Register
maintained in accordance with Section 2.6 or by a certificate or certificates of the Trustee, provided that the holding of a beneficial interest in the a Global Security may be proved by a certificate or certificates of the Depositary.

 (e) The Trustee will appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting will be
elected by vote of the Holders of a Majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such Series represented at the meeting. At any meeting, each Holder of Debt Securities of such Series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for
each US$1,000 (or, in the case of Debt Securities denominated in any other currency, an equivalent amount in such other currency) principal amount of Debt Securities of such Series held or represented by that Holder; provided that no vote
shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Debt Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting will have no right to vote except as a Holder of Debt
Securities of such Series or proxy. Any meeting of Holders duly called at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. 

(f) The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of one or all Series shall be by written ballot on which will be
subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Debt Securities of such Series or proxies. Except as provided in Section 15.3, the permanent chairman of the meeting will appoint two inspectors of votes who will count all votes cast at the meeting
for or against any resolution and who will make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of such Holders will be
prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there will be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth
a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was published as provided above. The record will be signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates will be delivered to the Issuer
and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

(i) change the Stated Maturity of such Series of the Debt Securities; 

(ii) reduce the principal amount of, payments of interest on or stated time for payment of interest on any Debt Securities of

provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise. 
 (f) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture or the Debt
Securities by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Debt Securities will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 

SECTION 15.3 Revocation and Effect of Consents. (a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to
it by a Holder of a Debt Security is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Debt Security and every subsequent Holder of a Debt Security or portion of a Debt Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Debt Security, even
if notation of the consent is not made on any Debt Security. However, any such Holder of a Debt Security or subsequent Holder of a Debt Security may revoke the consent as to its Debt Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

(b) The Issuer may, but will not be obligated to, fix a record date pursuant to Section 8.2 for the purpose of determining the Holders
entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 15.4 Notation on or Exchange of Debt Securities.

Authentication Order, authenticate new Debt Securities that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 (b) Failure to make the
appropriate notation or issue a new Debt Security will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

SECTION 15.5 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee will sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to
this Article Fifteen if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee will receive and (subject to
Section 7.1) will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.6, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantor, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms,
subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof.

 EXHIBIT C 

[FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBT SECURITY] 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE DEBT SECURITIES 

1. General. (a) This Debt Security is one of a duly authorized Series of Debt Securities of TSMC Arizona Corporation (the
“Issuer”), designated as its [        %] [Title of Securities] Due                 (each Debt
Security of this Series a “Debt Security,” and collectively, the “Debt Securities”), and issued or to be issued in one or more Series pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of
                , by and among the Issuer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and
Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended from time to time (the “Indenture”). The holders of the Debt Securities (the “Holders”) will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and
be deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture. A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. All capitalized terms used in this Debt Security but not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Indenture and the provisions of the Terms contained in this Debt Security, the Terms contained in this Debt Security will control. 

(b) The Debt Securities will (i) constitute senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer; (ii) at all times rank pari passu and
without any preference or priority among themselves and at least equally with all other present and future senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer, except as may be required by mandatory provisions of law; (iii) be senior in right of payment
to all future subordinated obligations of the Issuer; and (iv) be effectively subordinated to secured obligations of the Issuer, to the extent of the assets serving as security therefor. All amounts payable under the Debt Securities are backed
by the full faith and credit of the Issuer. 
 (c) The Debt Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons. Debt Securities may be
issued in certificated form (the “Certificated Securities”), or may be represented by one or more registered global securities (each, a “Global Security”) held by or on behalf of the Depositary. Certificated
Securities will be available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. The Debt Securities, and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section 2.6 of the Indenture. Any Person in whose name a Debt Security
shall be registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, by all Persons and for all purposes as the absolute owner of such Debt Security regardless of any notice of ownership, theft, loss or any writing
thereon. 
 2. Payments. (a) Principal of the Debt Securities will be payable against surrender of the Debt Securities at the
specified office of the Paying Agent located at c/o [388 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10013, Attention: Agency & Trust—TSMC Arizona Corporation] [or such other address as provided] or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at
the office outside of the United States of a Paying Agent, by [U.S. dollar] [Other Currency] check drawn on, or by transfer to a [U.S. dollar] [Other Currency] account maintained by the Holder with, a bank located in [New York City] [Other
Location]. [If the Debt Security is to bear interest prior to maturity, insert: Payment of interest (including Additional Amounts (as defined below)) on Debt Securities will be made to the Persons in whose name the Debt Securities are registered at
the end of the fifteenth day preceding the date on which interest is to be paid (each, a “Record Date”), whether or not such day is a New York Business Day, notwithstanding the cancellation of the Debt Securities upon any transfer
or exchange thereof subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such interest Payment Date; provided that if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest
plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities are registered as of a subsequent record date established by the Issuer by notice, as provided in Paragraph 10 of
the Terms, by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than 10 days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. Payment of interest on
Certificated Securities will be made (i) by a [U.S. dollar] [Other Currency] check drawn on a bank in [New York City] [Other Location] mailed to the Holder at such Holder’s registered address or (ii) upon application by the Holder of
at least [US$/other currency]                         in principal amount of Certificated Securities to the Trustee not
later than the relevant Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a [U.S. dollar][Other Currency] account maintained by the Holder with a bank in [New York City][Other Location]. Payment of interest on Certificated Securities
will be made (i) by the Issuer if it acts as its own Paying Agent, by a [U.S. dollar] [Other Currency] check drawn on a bank in [New York City] [Other Location] mailed to the Holder at such Holder’s registered address or (ii) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the Holder with a bank in [New York City] [Other Location]. Payment of interest on a Global Security will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a
U.S. dollar account maintained by the Depositary with a bank in [New York City] [Other Location]. 

  
 C-1 













 (b) In any case where the date of payment of the principal of [, or interest (including
Additional Amounts), on ]the Debt Securities shall not be a New York Business Day, then payment of principal [or interest (including Additional Amounts)] need not be made on such date at the relevant place of payment but may be made on the next
succeeding New York Business Day. Any payment made on a date other than the date on which such payment is due as set forth herein shall have the same force and effect as if made on the date on which such payment is due, and no interest shall accrue
for the period after such date. 
 (c) Interest in respect of any period of less than one year shall be calculated on the basis of [a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months][the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.] 
 (d) Subject to applicable law, all monies
paid by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Trustee or to any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of [, or interest (including Additional Amounts) on,] any Debt Security and not applied but remaining unclaimed for five years after the date upon
which such amount shall have become due and payable shall, at the option of the Issuer or the Guarantor, be repaid to or for the account of the Issuer by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, the receipt of such repayment to be confirmed promptly in
writing by or on behalf of the Issuer. The Holder or Holders of such Debt Security or Securities shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for the payment that such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease. 
 (e) If the Issuer at any time defaults in the payment of any principal of [, or
interest (including Additional Amounts) on,] the Debt Securities, the Issuer will pay interest on the amount in default [(to the extent permitted by law in the case of interest on defaulted interest)], calculated for each day until paid, at the rate
of         % per annum, together with Additional Amounts, if applicable. 
 3. Payment of
Additional Amounts. (a) All payments of principal, premium and interest made by the Issuer in respect of the Debt Securities of any Series or the Guarantor in respect of the Guarantees will be made without withholding or deduction for, or
on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the R.O.C., the U.S., or any political subdivision thereof or any
authority therein having power to tax (a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law or by regulation. If the Issuer or the Guarantor (or their Paying Agent is) is required to make
such withholding or deduction, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will withhold such Taxes and pay them to the relevant government authority, and the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts in respect of
Taxes as will result (i) with respect to the Issuer, in the receipt by the Holders or beneficial owners of the Debt Securities of such Series of such amounts as would have been received by such Holders or beneficial owners had no such
withholding or deduction of such Taxes been required or (ii) with respect to the Guarantor, in the receipt by the Holders or beneficial owners of the Debt Securities of such Series of such amounts as would have been received by such Holders or
beneficial owners in respect of payments under the related Guarantee had no such withholding or deduction of such Taxes been required (such additional amounts payable by the Issuer or the Guarantor, the “Additional Amounts”), except
that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable: 

  
 C-2 













 (i) in respect of any such Taxes that would not have been imposed, deducted or withheld but
for the existence of any connection (whether present or former) between the Holder or beneficial owner of a Debt Security and any Relevant Jurisdiction other than merely holding such Debt Security or receiving principal or interest in respect
thereof (including such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a national, domiciliary or resident of such Relevant Jurisdiction or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business
therein or having currently or having had a permanent establishment therein); 
 (ii) to the extent that any Taxes with respect to a Debt
Security would not have been so imposed or levied but for the fact that, where presentation is required in order to receive payment, the applicable Debt Security or Guarantees were presented more than 30 days after the date on which such payment
became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof provided for and notice thereof given to the Holders of the Debt Securities, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder or beneficiary thereof would have been entitled to such
Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such 30-day period; 
 (iii) in respect of any failure of the
Holder or beneficial owner of a Debt Security or a Guarantee to comply with a timely request of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, addressed to the Holder or beneficial owner to provide information concerning such Holder’s or
beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with any Relevant Jurisdiction, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request is required under the tax laws, statutes, treaties, regulations or
administrative practices of any Relevant Jurisdiction in order to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder or beneficial owner; 

(iv) in respect of any Taxes imposed as a result of any Debt Security or a Guarantee being presented for payment (where presentation is
required) in the Relevant Jurisdiction, unless any such Debt Security or such Guarantee, as applicable, could not have been presented for payment elsewhere; 

(v) in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes; 

(vi) to any Holder of a Debt Security or beneficiary of a Guarantee that is a fiduciary, partnership or Person other than the sole beneficial
owner of any payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of a Relevant Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a member of that
partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner or beneficial owner been the Holder thereof; 

(vii) in respect of any Taxes imposed as a result of the holder or beneficial owner of a Note or Guarantee being or having been a personal
holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a foreign tax exempt organization, or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; 

(viii) in respect of any Taxes imposed as a result of the holder or beneficial owner of a Note or Guarantee being or having been a “10-percent shareholder”, as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), or any successor provision, of the Issuer; 

  
 C-3 













 (ix) in respect of any Taxes imposed as a result of the holder or beneficial owner of a Note
being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within the meaning of section 881(c)(3) of the Code or any successor provision; 

(x) in respect of any Taxes imposed by reason of the failure of the holder or beneficial owner of a Note, including any intermediary that
holds a Note, to fulfill the statement requirements of section 871(h) or section 881(c) of the Code or any successor provision; 
 (xi) in
respect of any Taxes imposed pursuant to section 871(h)(6) or section 881(c)(6) of the Code (or any successor provisions); 
 (xii) in
respect of any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on or in respect of any Debt Securities or Guarantees; or 

(xiii) in the case of any combination of the above listed items. 

(b) In addition, any amounts to be paid on the Debt Securities will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant
to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices
adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code, and no additional amounts will be required to be paid on account of any such deduction or withholding. 

(c) In the event that any withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes is required in respect of any payment of principal of or
interest on the Debt Securities of any Series or any payment under the related Guarantee, at least five New York Business Days prior to the date of such payment, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will furnish to the Trustee and the Paying
Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount required to be withheld or deducted on such payment, certifying that the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such amounts required to be withheld to
the appropriate governmental authority and certifying the fact that the Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each Holder (unless such Additional Amounts are not required to be paid pursuant to the exceptions described
above), and that the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required to be paid; provided that no such Officers’ Certificate will be required prior to any date of
payment of principal of or interest on any such Debt Securities or any such Guarantees, as applicable, if there has been no change with respect to the matters set forth in a prior Officers’ Certificate. The Trustee and each Paying Agent may
rely on the fact that any Officers’ Certificate contemplated by this paragraph has not been furnished as evidence of the fact that no withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes is required. The Issuer and the Guarantor covenant to
indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for and to hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without fraudulent activity, gross negligence or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection
with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any such Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this paragraph or on the fact that any Officers’ Certificate contemplated by this paragraph has not been furnished. 

(d) Whenever there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of any applicable Debt Securities or
of principal, premium or interest in respect of any Debt Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in the Indenture, to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would
be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the Indenture. 

  
 C-4 













 (e) The foregoing provisions of (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this paragraph 3 shall apply
in the same manner with respect to the jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor is organized or resident for tax purposes or any authority therein or thereof having the power to tax (a “Successor
Jurisdiction”), substituting such Successor Jurisdiction for the applicable Relevant Jurisdiction. 
 (f) The Issuer’s and the
Guarantor’s respective obligations to make payments of Additional Amounts under the terms and conditions described above in this paragraph 3 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture. 

4. Tax Redemption. (a) Each Series of Debt Securities may be redeemed at any time, at the option of the Issuer, in whole but not
in part, upon notice as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption (for the avoidance of doubt, along
with Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the date fixed for redemption), if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction (or, in the case of Additional
Amounts payable by a successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor, the applicable Successor Jurisdiction), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or
after the Issue Date (or, in the case of Additional Amounts payable by a successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor, the date on which such successor Person became such pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture) (a “Tax
Change”), the Issuer or the Guarantor or any such successor Person is, or would be, obligated to pay Additional Amounts upon the next payment of principal or interest in respect of such Debt Securities or the next payment under the relevant
Guarantee, as applicable, and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor or such successor Person, as applicable, taking reasonable measures available to it. 

(b) Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption of a Series of Debt Securities pursuant to of this paragraph 4, the Issuer or the
Guarantor or any such successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a notice of such redemption election, (ii) an opinion of an Independent Legal Counsel or an opinion of an Independent
Tax Consultant to the effect that the Issuer or the Guarantor or any such successor Person is, or would become, obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as the result of a Tax Change and (iii) an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer or the
Guarantor or such successor Person, stating that such amendment or change has occurred, describing the facts leading thereto and stating that such requirement cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor or the relevant successor Person, as
applicable, taking reasonable measures available to it. 
 (c) Notice of redemption of a Series of Debt Securities as provided above shall
be given to the Holders not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Notice having been given, the relevant Debt Securities shall become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption and will be paid at the
redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, at the place or places of payment and in the manner specified in the relevant Debt Securities. From and after the redemption
date, if moneys for the redemption of such Debt Securities shall have been made available as provided in the Indenture for redemption on the redemption date, such Debt Securities shall cease to bear interest, and the only right of the Holders of
such Debt Securities shall be to receive payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. All Debt Securities that are redeemed shall be cancelled. 

  
 C-5 













 5. Optional Redemption. The Issuer may, at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor
more than 60 days’ notice to Holders of a Series of Debt Securities, redeem such Series of Debt Securities, in whole or in part; provided that the principal amount of any Debt Security remaining Outstanding after redemption in part shall
be US$200,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof. The redemption price for any Debt Securities to be redeemed prior to the Applicable Par Call Date will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Debt Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the sum, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker based on the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted to the redemption date
on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus [ ] basis points plus, in the case of each of clause (i) or (ii), accrued and unpaid interest thereon to,
but not including, the redemption date for such Debt Securities. On or after the Applicable Par Call Date, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Series of Debt Securities to be redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date for such Debt Securities. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for verifying or calculating the redemption price payable to Holders of a Debt
Security. If only some of the Debt Securities of any Series are to be redeemed, while such Debt Securities are in global form, the Debt Securities of such Series to be redeemed will be selected by the applicable clearing system and/or stock exchange
requirements, or while such Debt Securities are in certificated form, by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, unless otherwise required law. 

6. Open Market Purchases. The Issuer or the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s Subsidiaries may, in accordance with all
applicable laws and regulations, at any time purchase the Debt Securities in the open market or otherwise at any price, so long as such purchase does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture. The Debt Securities so purchased, while held by
or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s Subsidiaries, shall not be deemed to be Outstanding for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of
such Series have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder. 
 7. [Intentionally
omitted] 
 8. [Intentionally omitted] 

9. Events of Default. (a) For each Series of Debt Securities, each of the following is an Event of Default (an “Event of
Default”) for such Series of Debt Securities: 
  

	 	(i)	 failure to pay principal or premium in respect of any Debt Security of such Series by the due date for such
payment, but in the case of technical or administrative difficulties, only if the default continues for a period of two days;

	 	(iv)	 the Issuer or the Guarantor defaults in the performance of or breaches any covenant or agreement in the
Indenture or under such Series of Debt Securities (other than a default specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above) and such default or breach continues for a period of 90 consecutive days after written notice to the Issuer and the Guarantor,
as applicable, by the Trustee or the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of such Series of Debt Securities then Outstanding; 



  
 C-6 














	 	(v)	 the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (a) a decree or order for relief in respect of
the Issuer or the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or (b) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer or the Guarantor bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as final and
nonappealable a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or the Guarantor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar official of the Issuer or the Guarantor or of any substantial part of their respective property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs (or any similar
relief granted under any foreign laws), and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive calendar days; 



 

	 	(vi)	 the commencement by the Issuer or the Guarantor of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable state or

involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking
reorganization or relief with respect to the Issuer or the Guarantor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian,
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar official of the Issuer or the Guarantor or of any substantial part of their respective property pursuant to any such law, or the making by the Issuer or the Guarantor of a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors in respect of any indebtedness as a result of an inability to pay such indebtedness as it becomes due, or the admission by the Issuer or the Guarantor in writing of its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Issuer or the Guarantor that resolves to commence any such action; and 


  

	 	(vii)	 the relevant Series of Debt Securities, the relevant Guarantee or the Indenture is or becomes or is claimed to
be unenforceable, invalid, ceases to be in full force and effect by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, or is deemed to contravene, breach or violate the laws of any relevant jurisdiction; 



provided, however, a default under subparagraph (a)(iv) above will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Debt Securities of the relevant Series notify the Issuer and the Guarantor of the default and the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, does not cure such default within the time specified in
subparagraph (a)(iv) above after receipt of such notice. 
 (b) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in

the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if notice is given by the Holders) as provided in the Indenture may or the Trustee acting on the directions of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the relevant Series of Debt Securities
(subject to receipt of indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee) shall then declare the unpaid principal amount of the Debt Securities of such Series and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (and any Additional Amounts payable in
respect thereof) to be due and payable immediately upon receipt of such notice. 

  
 C-7 













 (c) If an Event of Default in subparagraphs (a)(v) or (vi) above shall occur, the
unpaid principal amount of all the Debt Securities of such Series then Outstanding and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon will automatically, and without any declaration or other action by the Trustee or any Holder of such Debt Securities,
become immediately due and payable. 
 (d) After a declaration of acceleration but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due
has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of at least a Majority in aggregate principal amount of the affected Debt Securities then Outstanding may, subject to Section 15.2, waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul such acceleration if
(1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all Events of Default in respect of such Series of Debt Securities, other than the
non-payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Debt Securities that became due solely because of the acceleration of such Debt Securities, have been cured or waived. 

(e) Subject to Section 7.1 of the Indenture, in case an Event of Default of a Series of Debt Securities shall occur and be continuing,
the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the written request, order or direction of any of the Holders of such Debt Securities, unless such Holders shall have instructed in
writing and offered to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. Subject to certain provisions, including those requiring security and/or
indemnification of the Trustee, the Holders of a Majority in aggregate principal amount of such Series of Debt Securities then Outstanding will have the right to direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. 
 (f) Subject to Section 6.6 of the
Indenture, no Holder of any Debt Securities will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, the Debt Securities or the Guarantee, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any
other remedy thereunder, unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event
of Default; 
 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such Series of Debt Securities then
Outstanding have made written request to the Trustee to institute such proceeding; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have
instructed in writing and offered indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; and 

(4) the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding, and has not received from the Holders of a Majority in aggregate
principal amount of such Series of Securities then Outstanding a written direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer; 

provided, however, that these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Debt Security for the enforcement of the right to receive
payment of the principal of or interest on such Debt Security on or after the applicable due date specified in any such Debt Security. The Trustee shall not be required to expend its funds in following such direction if it does not reasonably
believe that reimbursement or indemnity and/or security is assured to it. 

  
 C-8 













 10. Replacement, Exchange and Transfer of Securities. (a) Subject to
Section 2.8 of the Indenture, in case any Debt Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer will execute, and upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new
Debt Security bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Debt Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security. In every case,
the applicant for a substitute Debt Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee such security and/or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify, defend and to save each of them and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee

 C-9 













 For so long as this Series of Debt Securities are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, the Issuer shall appoint and maintain a Paying Agent in Singapore, where this Series of Debt Securities may be presented or
surrendered for payment or redemption, in the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Certificated Securities. In addition, in the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Certificated Securities, an announcement of such exchange shall be
made by or on behalf of the Issuer through the SGX-ST and such announcement will include all material information with respect to the delivery of the Certificated Securities, including details of the Paying
Agent in Singapore. 
 13. Enforcement. Except as provided in Section 6.6 of the Indenture, no Holder of any Debt Securities
shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture or the Debt Securities to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture or the Debt Securities,
or for any other remedy hereunder or under the Securities, unless (a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Debt Securities, (b) the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Debt Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have provided to the
Trustee such indemnity and/or security as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and (c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of indemnity and/or
security shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Indenture, it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by every Holder of Debt Securities with every other Holder of Debt Securities and the Trustee, that no one or more Holder shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of
the Indenture or of the Debt Securities to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Debt Securities or to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Indenture or under the
Debt Securities, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders. The Trustee shall not be required to expend its funds in following such direction if it does not reasonably believe that
reimbursement or indemnity and/or security is assured to it. For the protection and enforcement of this paragraph, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

14. Notices. All notices or demands required or permitted by the terms of the Debt Securities or the Indenture to be given by the
Holders of the Debt Securities are required to be in writing and may be given or served by being sent by prepaid courier or first-class mail, if intended for the Issuer or the Guarantor, addressed to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, if
intended for the Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 Any notices required to be given to the Holders of the Debt
Securities will be given to DTC, as the registered holder of the Global Securities. In the event that the Global Securities are exchanged for individual Debt Securities in certificated form, notices to Holders of the Debt Securities will be sent by
prepaid courier or first-class mail addressed to such Holder at such Holder’s last address as it appears in the Register. 
 15.
Further Issues of Securities. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Debt Securities, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions as this Series of Debt Securities in all
respects (or in all respects except for the Issue Date, the issue price, the first payment of interest on them and, to the extent necessary, certain temporary securities law transfer restrictions). Additional Securities issued in this manner will be
consolidated with the previously Outstanding Debt Securities of the relevant Series to constitute a single Series of Debt Securities. The Issuer may only issue any Additional Securities with the same CUSIP number as the Debt Securities issued
hereunder if such further issuance would be treated as part of the same “issue” as the Securities issued hereunder within the meaning of United States Treasury regulation section 1.1275-1(f) or 1.1275-2(k) or would otherwise be fungible with the relevant Series of Debt Securities issued hereunder for United States federal income tax purposes.

shall have been duly signed by the Trustee or the Registrar. 
 18. Governing Law. (a) These Debt Securities will be governed by

 (b) The Issuer has agreed that any action arising out of or based
upon the Securities may be instituted in any U.S. federal or New York State court located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and has irrevocably submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
any such court in any such action. The Issuer has irrevocably appointed TSMC North America as its agent upon which process may be served in any such action. 

(c) To the extent that the Issuer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or
proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Issuer hereby
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its Obligations under the Indenture or these Debt Securities.

Securities under this Indenture or the Debt Securities or the Guarantees, as the case may be, shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, of any amount in the Judgment Currency, as, in accordance with normal banking procedures Agreement

case may be, agrees to pay to or for the account of the Issuer or the Guarantor such excess, provided that such Holder shall not have any obligation to pay any such excess as long as a Default by the Issuer or the Guarantor in its obligations
under the Indenture or the relevant Series of Debt Securities or the related Guarantee has occurred and is continuing, in which case such excess may be applied by such Holder to such obligations.

WHEREAS, the Guarantor has agreed to issue this guarantee (the “Guarantee”) for the purpose of guaranteeing to the Holder of

 NOW, THEREFORE, for value received, the Guarantor hereby agrees as
follows: 
 The Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Holder of the Debt Securities upon which this

 The Guarantor hereby waives the effects of all of the events described in
Section 11.1(d) of the Indenture and agrees that the occurrence of any one or more of the events shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, in each case, to the extent permitted by law.

payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 

The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full
in cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and U.S. Government Obligations of all Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when
all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and U.S. Government Obligations, such amount shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for the
Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and will, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly endorsed by the Guarantor to the Trustee, if
required), to be applied against the Obligations. 
 The Guarantor hereby certifies and declares that all acts, conditions and things
required to be done and performed and to have happened prior to the creation and issuance of this Guarantee, and to constitute the same the valid and legally binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, have been

 This Guarantee shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Debt
Security to which this Guarantee is endorsed shall have been executed manually electronically or by facsimile by the Trustee. 
 This
Guarantee will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of New York. The Guarantor has agreed that any action arising out of or based upon the Debt Securities may be instituted in any U.S. federal or New York State
court located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and has irrevocably submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such action. The Guarantor has irrevocably appointed
TSMC North America as its agent upon which process may be served in any such action. To the extent that the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of
any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not
to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Indenture, the Debt Securities or the Guarantee.
