Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date and as provided by the Company, (1) the yield, under
the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant
maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury
Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after August 1, 2022, yields for the two published maturities most closely
corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated
from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release)
is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)
equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day immediately
preceding the date that the applicable redemption notice is first mailed or sent, in each case, plus 50 basis points.


 


“Affiliate”

common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to

correlative to the foregoing.


 


“Agent”
means any Registrar or Paying Agent or Custodian.


 


“Applicable
Premium” means with respect to a Note at any redemption date, as provided by the Company, the excess of (1) the present
value at such redemption date of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on such Note (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to but excluding the


 




     


     

    

redemption

redemption date.


 


“Attributable
Debt” in respect of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction means, as at the time of determination, the present value (discounted
at the interest rate borne by the Notes, compounded annually) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments during
the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been
extended) (other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, water rates and
other items which do not constitute payments for property rights); provided, however, that if such Sale/Leaseback
Transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance
with the definition of “Capital Lease Obligation.”


 


“Bankruptcy
Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, as amended, or any similar federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors.

of rent or any other amount due under such lease prior to the first date upon which such lease may be terminated by the lessee
without payment of a penalty. For purposes of Section 4.08, a Capital Lease Obligation will be deemed to be secured by a Lien
on the property being leased.


 


“Capital
Stock” of any Person means any and all shares, interests, rights to purchase, warrants, options, participations or other
equivalents of or interests in (however designated) equity of such Person, including any Preferred Stock, but excluding any debt

doubt shall not include the Merger and the related transactions in connection therewith, including the formation of the Company):


 


(1) 
any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d)
and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision), is or becomes the beneficial owner (as such term is used in Rules 13d-3

transaction) own, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person
in such amalgamation, merger or consolidation transaction immediately after such transaction.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (a) the Company becomes a direct Subsidiary of a holding company,
and (b) (x) upon completion of such transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company own
such Voting Stock in substantially the same proportion as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to
that transaction or (y) holders of securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction (or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of any amalgamation, merger or consolidation

operation of the terms of its charter, by-laws or similar governing document of such Subsidiary; and


 


(2) 
the income or loss of any person accrued prior to the date it becomes a consolidated

or assets since the beginning of such four consecutive fiscal quarter period; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating

provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially

cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee

the manner set forth in Section 12.01.

regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more
duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.
Any notice given or action taken by a holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to
this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate holders of each such different part.


 


(h)

direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by holders; provided
that if such a record date is fixed, only the beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note on such record date or their
duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such beneficial owners remain beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note
after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective
hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date.


 


(j) 
With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto
that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change

new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to


 




    -15-


     

    

each holder
of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 12.01, on or prior to both the existing and the new Expiration Date; provided further,

of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal
amount of $742,848,000, and (b) Additional Notes, and (c) any other Unrestricted Global Notes issued in exchange for any of the
foregoing in accordance with this Indenture. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on
which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional Notes or other
Unrestricted Global Notes and other information the Company may determine to include or the Trustee may reasonably request.


 


Section
2.03  Registrar and
Paying Agent.


 


(a) 
The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and at least one office or agency where Notes may be presented for
payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”)
and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.
The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any holder. The Company
shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries
may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


(b) 
The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global
Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with
respect to the Global Notes. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with DTC in the form provided by DTC and
the Trustee and each Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures.


 


(c)The
Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes and this Indenture, including but not limited
to determination of interest, redemption price, Applicable Premium, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts
payable on the Notes. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be
final and binding on the holders. The Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations
without independent verification.

Section
2.04  Paying Agent
to Hold Money in Trust.


 


The Company
shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal and interest on any of the
Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the holders entitled
to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
so to act. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall
hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal and interest
on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues,
the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability
for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the
benefit of the holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.


 


Section
2.05  Holder Lists.


 


The Trustee
shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses
of all holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar shall, upon request by the Company, furnish to the Trustee
at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a
list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders.


 


Section
2.06  Transfer and
Exchange.


 


(a) 
The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the
surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A.


 


(b) 
To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section
2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.


 


(c) 
No service charge shall be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer
or exchange (other than pursuant to Section 2.07), but the holders shall be required to pay any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange
or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 9.04).


 


(d) 
All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange.


 


(e) 
Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register
the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection
of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer
of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption, or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with a Change
of Control Offer, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or


 




    -18-


     

    

repurchased
in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date.


 


(f) 
Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee,
any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes
and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


(g) 
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of
the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, or cause
to be transferred by book entry, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.


 


(h) 
At the option of the holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized
denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office
or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and mail, or cause to be transferred by book entry, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which
the holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Appendix A.


 


(i) 
All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted
to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by
facsimile or electronic transmission.


 


Section
2.07  Replacement
Notes.


 


If a mutilated
Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Company shall issue and
the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements
are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be provided by the holder that is sufficient
in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from
any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the holder for the expenses of the Company
and the Trustee in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to
all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.


 


Section
2.08  Outstanding
Notes.


 


(a) 
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except
for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by
the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set
forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note;
provided that Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company will not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes
of Section 3.07(b).


 




    -19-


     

    

(b) 
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide protected purchaser, as such term
is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York.


 


(c) 
On or after the maturity date or any redemption date or date for purchase of the Notes
pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, those Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or
Paying Agent, other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds money sufficient to pay all amounts then due will cease
to be outstanding for all purposes under this Indenture.


 


(d) 
If a Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof)
holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, money sufficient
to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be
no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.


 


Section
2.09  Treasury Notes.


 


In determining
whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes beneficially
owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes
of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall
not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such
direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or
any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.


 


Section
2.10  Temporary Notes.


 


Until definitive
Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate
temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the
Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any temporary Notes the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations.  Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may
be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes
under this Indenture.


 


Section
2.11  Cancellation.


 


The Company
at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee,
the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment,
replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record
retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the cancellation of all cancelled Notes shall, upon the written request
of the Company, be delivered to the


 




    -20-


     

    

Company. The
Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section
2.12  Defaulted Interest.


 


(a) 
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes under Section 4.01 of
this Indenture, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted
interest, to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and
in Section 4.01. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each
Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to
be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10
days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special
record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depositary to each holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount
of such interest to be paid.


 


(b) 
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under
this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note.


 


Section
2.13  CUSIP and ISIN
Numbers.


 


The Company
in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers
in notices as a convenience to holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only
on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission
of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Redemption


 


Section
3.01  Notices to

If the Company
elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least three Business Days before notice of
redemption is required to be mailed or sent to holders pursuant to Section 3.03 but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (1) the redemption

Section
3.02  Selection of
Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.


 


(a) 
If the Company is redeeming less than all the Notes at any time, the Trustee shall
select the Notes on a pro rata basis by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to be fair
and appropriate; provided, however, that Global Notes will be selected in accordance with the applicable procedures
of DTC. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected,
unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the
then outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.


 


(b) 
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for
redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption
or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.


 


(c) 
After the redemption date or purchase date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed
or purchased in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original
Note, representing the same Debt to the extent not redeemed or not purchased, shall be issued in the name of the holder of the
Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption).


 


Section
3.03  Notice of Redemption.


 


(a) 
The Company shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the
applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the
applicable procedures of the Depositary) notices of redemption of Notes not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days before
the redemption date to each holder whose Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Article at such holder’s registered address
or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed or sent
more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11.


 


(b) 
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP and ISIN number,
if applicable) and shall state:


 


(1) 
the redemption date;


 


(2) 
the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid
interest; provided that in connection with a redemption under Section 3.07(a), the notice need not set forth the redemption
price but only the manner of calculation thereof;


 


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


 


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


 


(5) 
that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect
the redemption price;


 




    -22-


     

    

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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(c) 
At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in
the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee,
at least three Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to holders pursuant to this
Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee
give such notice and setting forth the notice to be given as an exhibit thereto.


 


Section
3.04  Effect of Notice
of Redemption.


 


Once notice
of redemption is mailed or sent in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
on the redemption date at the redemption price. The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission 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 Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption
date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless subject to a condition precedent that
has not been satisfied. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the
Trustee prior to the close of business two Business days prior to the redemption date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice
of redemption shall be rescinded and the redemption of the notes shall not occur. Upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such
notice to each holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.


 


Section
3.05  Deposit of
Redemption or Purchase Price.


 


(a) 
No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date (or
such later time as such date to which the Trustee may reasonably agree), the Company 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 Notes to be redeemed
or purchased on that date. If a Note 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 shall be paid to the holder of record on such Record Date. The Paying Agent
shall promptly mail (or wire transfer if applicable) to each holder whose Notes 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 promptly return
to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay
the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.


 


(b) 
If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption
or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a
Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to


 




    -23-


     

    

the related
Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date in respect of such Note will be
paid on such redemption or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on such
Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because
of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 3.05(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 Notes and in Section 4.01.


 


Section
3.06  Notes Redeemed
or Purchased in Part.


 


Upon surrender
of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee
shall promptly authenticate and mail to the holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Company a
new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same Debt
to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $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 Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate
such new Note.


 


Section
3.07  Optional Redemption.


 


(a) 
At any time prior to August 1, 2022, the Company will be entitled, at its option,
to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable
Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the redemption date.


 


(b) 
In addition, on or after August 1, 2022, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole
or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding,
the redemption date.


 


(c) 
Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions
of Sections 3.01 through 3.06. Notice of any such redemption must be mailed by first-class mail (or delivered by electronic transmission
in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) to each holder’s registered address, not less than 30 nor more than
60 days prior to the redemption date. Calculation of the redemption price will be made by the Company or on its behalf by such
person as the Company shall designate; provided that such calculation or the correctness thereof shall not be a duty or
obligation of the Trustee.


 


(d) 
If the optional redemption date is on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the
related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest in respect of Notes subject to redemption will be paid on
the redemption date to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business, on such Record Date, and no additional
interest will be payable to holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.


 


Section
3.08  Redemption
for Tax Reasons.


 


(a) 
The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at 100% of the principal
amount of such Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (including
any Additional Amounts) at the Company’s option at any time prior to their maturity if, due to a Change in Tax Law:


 




    -24-


     

    

(1) 
the Company or a Guarantor, in accordance with the terms of the Notes or Guarantee,
has, or would, become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes or a Guarantee,
any Additional Amounts to the holders or beneficial owners of the Notes; and


 


(2) 
such obligation cannot be avoided by such Guarantor or the Company, taking reasonable
measures available to it.


 


(b) 
In the case of a redemption pursuant to this Section 3.08, the Company may redeem
the applicable Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice as provided in Section 3.03 of this Indenture,
at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption
date (including Additional Amounts); provided that (1) no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days
prior to the earliest date on which the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay any such Additional
Amounts in respect of the applicable Notes or applicable Guarantee, as applicable, then due and (2) at the time such notice is
given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. The Company’s right to redeem the applicable Notes
shall continue as long as the Company or a Guarantor is obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, notwithstanding that the Company
or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have made payments of Additional Amounts. Prior to the giving of any such notice
of redemption, the Company must deliver to the Trustee: (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled
to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company
so to redeem have occurred; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel or an independent accountant of recognized standing, selected by the
Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, with respect to tax matters of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the
Company or such Guarantor has, or would, become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law
and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction
of the conditions precedent in which event they shall be conclusive and binding on the noteholders.


 


(c) 
For purposes of this Section 3.08, “Change in Tax Law” means: (i)
any changes in, or amendment to, any law of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder and including, for this purpose, any treaty entered into
by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) or any amendment to or change in the application or official interpretation (including judicial
or administrative interpretation) of such law, which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case of an official interpretation,
is announced, on or after the Issue Date; or (ii) if the Company or a Guarantor consolidates, merges, amalgamates or combines
with, or transfers or leases all or substantially all its assets to, any person that is incorporated or tax resident under the
laws of any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (a “successor”) and as a consequence thereof
such person becomes the successor obligor to the Company or such Guarantor in respect of Additional Amounts that may become payable
(in which case, for purposes of this Section 3.08, all references to the Company or such Guarantor shall be deemed to be and include
references to such person), any change in, or amendment to, any law of the jurisdiction of organization or tax residence of such
successor, or the jurisdiction through which payments will be made by the successor, or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or thereon for purposes of taxation (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder and including, for this
purpose, any treaty entered into by such jurisdiction) or any amendment to or change in the application or official interpretation
(including judicial or administrative interpretation) of such law, which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case
of an official interpretation, is announced, on or after the date of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation, combination or
other transaction.

Section
3.10  Notice in Connection
with a Transaction or Event.


 


Notice of any
redemption of the Notes in connection with a transaction or an event (including a Change of Control Triggering Event) may, at
the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof and any such redemption or notice may,
at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or
occurrence of the related transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent,
such notice shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that in the Company’s discretion, the redemption
date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered,
including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion),
or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have

the Sale/Leaseback Transaction is solely with the Company or another Subsidiary of
the Company;


 


(2) 
the lease is for a period not in excess of 36 months (or which may be terminated by

The Company or, if applicable, each Guarantor (pursuant to the terms of the applicable
Guarantee) (each, a “Payor”) will make all payments of, or in respect of, principal, premium (if any) and interest
on the Notes, or any payment pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, free and


 




    -32-


     

    

clear of and
without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental
charge (including penalties, interest, and other liabilities related thereto) whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected
(“Taxes”) by or for the account of Bermuda, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction in which the Company
or any Guarantor is organized, or resident for tax purposes, engaged in business for tax purposes or through which payment is
made (or any political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof having the power to tax) (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),
unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.


 


(b) 
If a Payor is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold Taxes
from any payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes, or any payments pursuant to the Guarantees, as the
case may be, such Payor will pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”)
as may be necessary so that the net amount received in respect of such payments by the holder of such Note, after such deduction
or withholding (including any such deduction or withholding in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount
such holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that a Payor shall
not be required to pay any Additional Amount for or on account of:


 


(1) 
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for
the fact that the holder or beneficial owner of the applicable Note or Guarantee (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member
or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation)
is or has been a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging or having been engaged in a trade or business or maintaining
or having maintained a permanent establishment or being or having been physically present in, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or
otherwise having or having had some connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of, or
the collection of principal of, and premium (if any) or interest on, a Note or the enforcement of the applicable Guarantee, as
the case may be;


 


(2) 
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for
the fact that, where presentation is required in order to receive payment, the applicable Note or Guarantee was presented more
than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or was provided for, whichever is later except to the
extent that the holder or beneficial owner thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the applicable Note or Guarantee
been presented for payment on any day during such 30 day period;


 


(3) 
any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;


 


(4) 
any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments
on or in respect of the applicable Note or Guarantee;


 


(5) 
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for
the failure by the holder or the beneficial owner of the applicable Note or Guarantee to comply with a written request addressed
to the holders (A) to provide any certification, identification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality,
residence or identity of the holder or the beneficial owner or its connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (B) to
make any valid or timely declaration or claim or satisfy any other reporting, information or procedural requirements relating
to such matters if, in either case, compliance is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or exemption from such Taxes;


 


(6) 
any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to or secured for the benefit of
an individual that is required to be made pursuant to Council Directive 2003/48/EC or Council


 




    -33-


     

    

Directive
2014/48/EU on the taxation of savings income in the form of interest payment or any other Directive on the taxation of savings
implementing the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000, or any other law implementing
or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to these directives;


 


(7) 
any withholding or deduction that is imposed on the applicable Note or Guarantee that
is presented for payment, where presentation is required, by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding
or deduction by presenting the relevant Note or Guarantee to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union (including;
for the avoidance of doubt, any replacement directive or law);


 


(8) 
any deduction or withholding arising on or in connection with FATCA; and


 


(9) 
any combination of the Taxes described in (1) through (8) above.


 


(c) 
In addition, Additional Amounts will not be paid with respect to any payment of the
principal of, or any interest on, any of the applicable Notes or Guarantees to any holder of the applicable Notes or Guarantees
that is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment
to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income for tax
purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership, an interest holder in such
limited liability company or a beneficial owner that would not have been entitled to such amounts had such beneficiary, settlor,
member, interest holder or beneficial owner been the holder of the relevant Notes or Guarantees.


 


(d) 
The Payor will (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full
amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor will use reasonable
efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts or such other reasonable evidence of the payment of any Taxes so deducted or
withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes. The Payor will furnish to the Trustee (or to a holder upon
written request), within a reasonable time after the date of the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, such certified
copies or proof of payment. The Payor will attach a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by
the certified copy or other proof of payment was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Notes
then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Copies of such documentation
will be available for inspecting during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the holders of the Notes upon
written request and will be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent.


 


(e) 
As soon as reasonably practicable, prior to each Record Date preceding the related
Interest Payment Date and each date on which any other payment under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantee thereof is
due and payable, if the Payor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Payor will deliver
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable
and will furnish such other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to holders on the
payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officer’s Certificate
addressing such matters. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for the determination,
verification or calculation of any Additional Amounts. Such Officer’s Certificate may be forwarded by the Trustee to the
registered holder and also upon written request to any holder.


 


(f) 
Unless otherwise stated, references in any context to the payment of principal of,
and any premium or interest on, any Note, other payment on or with respect to the Notes or any payment


 




    -34-


     

    

pursuant to
the Guarantees, will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts
are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.


 


(g) 
The Payor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any
other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, registration
or enforcement following the occurrence of any event of default of any Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein
for the avoidance of doubt, no Payor shall be responsible for the payment or other discharge of such taxes, charges, or levies
that arise as a result of or, in connection with, any transfer, assignment or the disposition of the Notes (or any rights attaching
thereto) by any holder.


 


(h) 
The foregoing obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of
this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized or any
political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof or therein having the power to tax.

executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal
of, any premium on and any interest on all the outstanding Notes and the performance of every covenant and obligation in this
Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company;

by the Trustee or the holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose: (a) holders thereof have rescinded or
waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (b) the default that
is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.


 


Section
6.02  Acceleration.


 


(a) 
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if notice is given
by the holders) declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, on all the Notes to be
due and payable. Upon such declaration, such principal, interest and premium, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. If
an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(8) hereof occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest (and premium, if any)
on all the Notes will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any holders of the Notes. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes by written notice to the Trustee on behalf of all of the holders may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes
and its consequences.


 


(b) 
Subject to Article 7, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of
the holders of the Notes unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any
loss, liability or expense and then only to the extent required by the terms of this Indenture.


 


Section
6.03  Other
Remedies.


 


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


 


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


 




    -38-


     

    

remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.


 


Section
6.04  Waiver of Past
Defaults.


 


The holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all holders waive
any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except:


 


(1) 
a continuing Default in the payment of the principal or interest on any Note held
by a non-consenting holder; and


 


(2) 
a Default with respect to a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without
the consent of each holder affected,


 


provided that, subject
to Section 6.06, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture,
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Section
6.05  Control
by Majority.


 


The holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial
to the rights of any other holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain
whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.


 


Section
6.06  Limitation
on Suits.


 


Subject to
Section 6.07, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:


 


(1) 
such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;


 


(2) 
holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested
the Trustee to pursue the remedy;


 


(3) 
such holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense;


 


(4) 
the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of
the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and


 


(5) 
holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given
the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.


 




    -39-


     

    

A holder may not use this Indenture
to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another holder.


 


Section
6.07  Rights of Holders
to Receive Payment.


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment
of principal, premium, if any, and interest on or with respect to its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or
provided for in such Note, shall not be amended without the consent of such holder.


 


Section
6.08  Collection
Suit by Trustee.


 


If an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust against the Company and any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal and interest
remaining unpaid on the Notes, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Trustee and its agents and counsel.


 


Section
6.09  Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.


 


If the Trustee
or any holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such holder, then and in every such case, subject
to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the holders shall be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, Guarantors, Trustee
and the holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.


 


Section
6.10  Rights and
Remedies Cumulative.


 


Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, 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.


 


Section
6.11  Delay or Omission
Not Waiver.


 


No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient,
by the Trustee or by the holders, as the case may be.


 


Section
6.12  Trustee May
File Proofs of Claim.


 


The Trustee
may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of 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 to it for the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such fees and expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason,
payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities
and other properties that the holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained 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 Notes or the rights of any holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any holder in any such proceeding.


 


Section

The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07,
the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in

the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may remove the Trustee upon 30 days’ prior notice by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company

for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office,
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the successor Trustee to replace
it with another successor Trustee appointed by the Company.


 


(c) 
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense), the Company or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.


 


(d) 
If the Trustee, after written request by any holder who has been a holder for at least
six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


(e) 
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail (or
deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) a notice of its succession to holders.
The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that
all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and such transfer shall be subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.07. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section
7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.


 


(f) 
As used in this Section 7.08, the term “Trustee” shall also
include each Agent.


 


Section
7.09  Successor Trustee
by Merger, etc.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE


 


Section
8.01  Option to Effect
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 




    -46-


     

    

The Company
may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.


 


Section
8.02  Legal
Defeasance and Discharge.


 


(a) 
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this
Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be
deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to this Indenture, all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on
the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which
shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this
Indenture referred to in clauses (1) through (4) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and
this Indenture, including that of the Guarantors under their Guarantees (and the Trustee, at the request of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder:


 


(1) 
the rights of holders to receive payments in respect of the principal, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due, solely out of the trust referred to in Section 8.04;


 


(2) 
the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary
Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment
and money for Note payments held in trust;


 


(3) 
the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s
obligations in connection therewith; and


 


(4) 
this Section 8.02.


 


(b) 
If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not
be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.


 


(c) 
Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section 8.02 notwithstanding its prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03.


 


Section
8.03  Covenant
Defeasance.


 


Upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in
Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 4.11, and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from
their obligations with respect to all Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied
(“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes 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 deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that
such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect
to this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Company 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


 




    -47-


     

    

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 Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be
unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(4),
6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(7),
6.01(a)(8) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries), Section 6.01(a)(9) or 6.01(a)(10), in each case, shall not constitute
an Event of Default.


 


Section
8.04  Conditions
to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.


 


(a) 
The following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance
option under Section 8.02 or the Covenant Defeasance option under Section 8.03 with respect to the Notes:


 


(1) 
the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, a nationally recognized investment bank or a nationally recognized
appraisal or valuation firm delivered to the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal,
premium, if any, and interest due on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the
case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;


 


(2) 
in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,


 


(A) 
the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service a ruling, or


 


(B) 
since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income
tax law,


 


in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that the beneficial owners 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;


 


(3) 
in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners 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;


 


(4) 
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such
deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of
funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the
granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, the Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or material debt instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the
Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;


 




    -48-


     

    

(5) 
the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions
precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and


 


(6) 
the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited
money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.


 


Section
8.05  Deposited Money
and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.


 


(a) 
Subject to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied
by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through
any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the holders of
all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


(b) 
Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver
or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or Government Securities held by it as provided
in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, a nationally recognized
investment bank or a nationally recognized appraisal or valuation firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(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
8.06  Repayment
to the Company.


 


Any money deposited
with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal or interest on any
Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company
on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the holder of such Note shall thereafter
look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee
or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may cause to be published once, in The New York Times
or The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 10 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such
money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.


 


Section
8.07  Reinstatement.


 


If and for
so long as the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section
8.02 or Section 8.03, 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 Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02
or Section 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the


 




    -49-


     

    

Company makes
any payment of principal or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER


 


Section
9.01  Without Consent
of Holders.


 


(a) 
Notwithstanding Section 9.02, without the consent of any holder of the Notes, the
Company, the Guarantors and Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture:


 


(1) 
to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, as determined in good faith
by the Company;


 


(2) 
to provide for the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Company
or any Guarantor under this Indenture;


 


(3) 
to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes
(provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code);


 


(4) 
to add guarantees with respect to the Notes, including any Guarantees, or to secure
the Notes;


 


(5) 
to add to the covenants of the Company or any Subsidiary for the benefit of the holders

(6) 
to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any holder
of the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Company;


 


(7) 
to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with any required qualification
of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act (it being agreed that this Indenture need not be qualified under the Trust Indenture
Act);


 


(8) 
to conform the text of this Indenture, Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of
the “Description of the New IHS Markit Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, as determined in good faith by the
Company;


 


(9) 
to release a Guarantor from its Guarantee when permitted by the terms of this Indenture;


 


(10) 
to provide for successor trustees or to add to or change any provisions to the extent
necessary to appoint a separate trustee for the Notes; or


 


(11) 
to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer
and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration
of the Notes, or, if incurred in compliance with this Indenture, Additional Notes; provided, however, that (A) compliance
with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable


 




    -50-


     

    

securities
law and (B) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of holders to transfer Notes, as determined in
good faith by the Company.


 


Section
9.02  With Consent
of Holders.


 


Except as
provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, this Indenture may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for
the Notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected
thereby, an amendment or waiver may not, among other things:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(4) 
change the optional redemption dates or prices or calculations from those described
in Section 3.07 or 3.08;

any holder of the Notes to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Notes after
any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or any redemption date, as applicable;


 


(7) 
make any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder’s consent
or in the waiver provisions;


 


(8) 
make any change in the ranking or priority of any Note or Guarantee that would adversely
affect the noteholders; or


 


(9) 
release any Guarantor from its Guarantee, except as provided for in this Indenture.


 


(b) 
The consent of the holders of the Notes is not necessary under this Indenture to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.


 


(c) 
After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required
to mail (or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) to holders of the Notes a
notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all holders of the Notes, or any defect
therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.


 


Section
9.03  Revocation
and Effect of Consents.


 


(a) 
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a holder
of a Note is a continuing consent by the holder of a Note and every subsequent holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences
the same debt as the consenting holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such
holder of a Note or subsequent holder of a Note


 




    -51-


     

    

may revoke
the consent as to its Note 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.


 


(b) After
an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent
of each holder affected.  If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each holder affected,
the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each holder that has consented to it and every subsequent holder of a Note that
evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting holder.


 


(c) 
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date pursuant to Section
1.04 for the purpose of determining the holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Section
9.04  Notation
on or Exchange of Notes.


 


(a) 
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver
on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all outstanding Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon
receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


(b) 
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the
validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Section
9.05  Trustee to
Sign Amendments, etc.


 


Upon
request of the Company, and if applicable upon the filing with the Trustee of


 


evidence of the consent of holders,
the trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 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 shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, subject to customary
exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance
with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or
waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.

GUARANTEES


 


Section
10.01  Guarantee.


 


(a) 
Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, to each holder and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder
or thereunder, that: (1) the principal and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity,
by acceleration, redemption or


 




    -52-


     

    

otherwise,
and interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to
the holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations,
that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether
at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”. Failing payment
by the Company when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall
be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and
not a guarantee of collection.


 


(b) 
The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce
the same, any waiver or consent by any holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest,
notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of
the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.06.


 


(c)Each
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture have been paid in full.  If at any time any
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture
is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise,
each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due
but not made at such time.


 


(d) 
Each of the Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any holder in enforcing any
rights under this Section 10.01.


 


(e) 
If any holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the
Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such holder, such Guarantor’s Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.


 


(f) 
Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided
in Article 6 for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as
provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors
for the purpose of this Guarantee. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full
of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other
Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time
of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.


 




    -53-


     

    

(g) 
Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent
or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part
of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in
amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Guarantees, whether as a “voidable
preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.
In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned.


 


(h) 
In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


(i) 
Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without
set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.


 


Section
10.02  Limitation
on Guarantor Liability.


 


Each Guarantor,
and by its acceptance of Notes, each holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of
such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer 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 Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations
of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights
to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act or any similar federal or state law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment
in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such
other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the
time of such payment, determined in accordance with GAAP.


 


Section
10.03  Execution
and Delivery.


 


(a)

Each Guarantor
shall be subrogated to all rights of holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor until payment

all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.


 


Section
10.05  Benefits Acknowledged.

acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture

of Guarantees.


 


(a) 
The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically released:


 


(1) 
upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of
a Guarantor;


 


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


 


(3) 
at such time as such Guarantor is no longer a guarantor or obligor of any (i) Debt
Facility of the Company or any Guarantor with aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million or more (including, without limitation,
the Credit Agreement) or (ii) Material Capital Markets Debt of the Company or any Guarantor;


 


(4) 
upon the defeasance of the Notes, as provided under Article 8; or


 


(5) 
as described under Article 9,


 


in the case of clause (1) or

(b) 
If the Guarantee of any Guarantor is deemed to be released or is automatically released,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the identity of the released Guarantor, the basis
for release in reasonable detail, and that such release complies with this Indenture. At the written request of the Company, and
upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which may be subject to customary exceptions
and qualifications, each stating that all conditions provided for in this Indenture to the release of such Guarantor have been
complied with, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably required in order to evidence such release, discharge
and termination in respect of the applicable Guarantee (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall
not impair any automatic release pursuant to Section 10.06(a)).


 


Section
10.07  Swiss Guarantors.


 




    -55-


     

    

The liability
of each Guarantor who is organized under the laws of Switzerland (each, a “Swiss Guarantor”) shall be limited
as follows notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture to the contrary:


 


(a) 
The obligations, liabilities, indemnities and undertakings of as well as the application
of net proceeds resulting from the realization of any security granted by a Swiss Guarantor under its Guarantee in relation to
obligations, liabilities, indemnities or undertakings of the Issuer or another Guarantor (other than the relevant Swiss Guarantor
or any of its Subsidiaries) (“Up- and Cross-stream Obligations”) shall be limited to its Free Reserves Available
for Distribution (all in accordance with Art. 675 paragraph 2 and Art. 671 paragraph 1 and 2 no. 3 of the Swiss Code of Obligations)
at the time of (1) the enforcement of such obligations, liabilities, indemnities, guaranties or undertakings or (2) such application
of the net proceeds resulting from the foreclosure in or realization on the security granted by any Swiss Guarantor, always provided
that any such Up- and Cross-stream Obligations would otherwise lead to an actual violation of the prohibition to repay any capital
contributions (Verbot der Einlagenrückgewähr) or to a prohibited distribution of profits pursuant to the Swiss
Code of Obligations (verbotene Gewinnausschüttung).


 


(b) 
For the purpose of the preceding subsection (a), “Free Reserves Available
for Distribution” means the maximum amount of the Swiss Guarantor's profits and reserves available for distribution
at the time of the enforcement of (1) such obligations, liabilities, indemnities or undertakings or (2) the application of the
net proceeds resulting from the foreclosure in or realization on the security granted by any Swiss Guarantor presently being equal
to the positive difference between:


 


(i) the assets
of the Swiss Guarantor; and


 


(ii) the aggregate
of:


 


(A) all liabilities other
than Up- and Cross-stream Obligations;


 


(B) the amount of the
registered share capital; and


 


(C) the statutory reserves
(gesetzliche Reserven) to the extent such reserves must be maintained by mandatory law at any given time;


 


all these amounts to be established
in accordance with Swiss law and, upon the request of the Trustee to be confirmed by the auditors of the relevant Swiss Guarantor
based on an audited interim balance sheet. The relevant Swiss Guarantor shall, upon the request of the Trustee, arrange for the
audited interim balance sheet and the confirmation of the auditors immediately after having been requested to make a payment under
its Guarantee or the rights under the Indenture have been asserted in relation to Up and Cross-stream Obligations. The relevant
Swiss Guarantor shall take any other actions and/or pass any resolutions including resolutions of the board of directors and shareholders'
resolutions that, in the sole opinion of the Trustee, are necessary to make an amount available for distribution as part of the
Free Reserves Available for Distribution, including any resolutions on the dissolution of hidden reserves and/or on the distribution
of profits.


 


(c) 
The limitations contained herein shall not relieve the relevant Swiss Guarantor from
payment obligations under its Guarantee beyond these limitations. If as of any date a Swiss Guarantor cannot make any further
payment as a result of these limitations, then the Swiss Guarantor shall continue to be obligated to make payment hereunder and
shall make such payment when the operation of the limitations in this Section permit it to do so.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE


 


Section
11.01  Satisfaction
and Discharge.


 


(a) 
This Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect as to all
Notes issued hereunder, when either:


 


(1) 
all Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed
Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust) have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation; or


 


(2) 
(A) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one
year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice
of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company or any 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 U.S.
dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants, a nationally recognized investment bank or a nationally recognized appraisal
or valuation firm delivered to the Trustee if Government Securities are delivered, without consideration of any reinvestment of
interest, to pay and discharge the entire Debt on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal,
premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be;


 


(B) 
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such
deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of
funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the
granting of Liens in connection therewith);


 


(C) 
the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the
Company under this Indenture; and


 


(D) 
the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited
money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.


 


(b) 
In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that
all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture, the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and Guarantors’
obligations in connection therewith shall survive, and if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01(a)(2)(A),
the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive.


 


Section
11.02  Application
of Trust Money.


 


(a) 
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the


 




    -57-


     

    

Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent)
as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal 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 Government Securities
in accordance with Section 11.01 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 Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations
under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal or interest on any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such payment
from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.

to be credited with such increase,


 


the Trustee shall cancel such
Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing

the Global Note being transferred.


 


(ii) 
If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note
to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase
in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount
of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease
in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.


 


(iii) 
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions
set forth in Section 2.3 of this Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the

to the Registrar to the effect that no registration under the Securities Act is required in respect of such exchange or transfer

the delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other evidence as may reasonably be required in order to determine that

or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any
notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All
notices and communications to be given to the holders and all payments to be made to holders under the Notes shall be given or
made only to the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of
beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures
of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with
respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.


 


(iii) 
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to

any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required
by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture,


 




    9 


     

    

and
to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.


 


(i) 
Automatic Exchange. Upon the Company’s satisfaction that the Restricted
Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in a Transfer
Restricted Note may be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note without any action required
by or on behalf of the holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that is the 366th
calendar day after (A) with respect to the Notes issued on the Issue Date, the Issue Date or (B) with respect to Additional Notes,
if any, the issue date of such Additional Notes, or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business
Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon the Company’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend
shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may (i) provide written notice
to the Trustee at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange, instructing the Trustee to direct the Depositary to
exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Transfer Restricted Note to the Unrestricted Global Note,
which the Company shall have previously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the DTC, (ii) provide prior written notice (the
“Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each holder at such holder’s address appearing in the register of holders
at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange (the “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which notice
must include (w) the Automatic Exchange Date, (x) the section of the Indenture pursuant to which the Automatic Exchange shall
occur, (y) the CUSIP number of the Restricted Global Note from which such holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred
and (z) the CUSIP number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred,
and (iii) on or prior to the date of the Automatic Exchange, deliver to the Trustee for authentication one or more Unrestricted
Global Notes, duly executed by the Company, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Notes to be exchanged. At the Company’s request on no less than 5 calendar days’ notice, the Trustee shall
deliver, in the Company’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice to each holder at such holder’s address
appearing in the register of holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2(i), during the 10 day period
between the Automatic Exchange Notice Date and the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to this
Section 2.2(i) shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Company.  As a condition to any Automatic Exchange,
the Company shall provide, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Automatic Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities
Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order
to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, and that the aggregate principal amount of the particular Transfer Restricted
Note may be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global Note by adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Custodian
to reflect the Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.2(i), the aggregate principal
amount of the Global Notes shall be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as Custodian, to
reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note resulting from the applicable exchange.
The Transfer Restricted Note from which beneficial interests are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be canceled
following the Automatic Exchange.


 


Section 2.3Definitive
Notes.


 


(a) 
A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as Custodian pursuant
to Section 2.1 may be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with
Section 2.2 of this Appendix A and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered
under the Exchange Act and, in


 




    10 


     

    

each case,
a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of

Capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.


 


INTEREST. IHS
Markit Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at 5.000% per annum until but excluding maturity. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and
November 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any such day is not a Business Day, interest
shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect and no interest shall accrue for the intervening
period. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from and including July 28, 2016; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 1, 2016. The Company
shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium,
if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace
periods) from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.


 


Payment
of Additional Amounts. The Company or, if applicable, each Guarantor (pursuant to the terms
of the applicable Guarantee) (each, a “Payor”) shall make all payments of, or in respect of, principal, premium
(if any) and interest on the Notes, or any payment pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, free and clear of and without
withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental
charge (including penalties, interest, and other liabilities related thereto) whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected
(“Taxes”) by or for the account of Bermuda, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction in which the Company
or any Guarantor is organized, or resident for tax purposes, engaged in business for tax purposes or through which payment is
made (or any political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof having the power to tax) (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),
unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof. If a Payor
is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold Taxes from any payment of principal, premium (if any) and
interest on the Notes, or any payments pursuant to the Guarantees, as the case may be, such Payor shall pay (together with such
payments) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received
in respect of such payments by the holder of such Note, after such deduction or withholding (including any such deduction or withholding
in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such holder would have received if such Taxes had not
been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that a Payor shall not be required to pay Additional Amounts under
certain circumstances set forth in the Indenture.


 


METHOD OF PAYMENT.
The Company shall pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the
April 15 or October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the related Interest Payment
Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option of
the Company, payment of interest and premium, if any, may be made by check mailed to the holders at their respective addresses
set forth in the Note Register; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required
with respect to principal, premium, if any, and interest on all Global Notes and all other Notes the holders of which shall have


 




    A-5


     

    

provided wire
transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable payment date. Such
payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts.


 


PAYING AGENT
AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the holders of Notes. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.


 


INDENTURE.
The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of July 28, 2016 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the
“Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized
issue of notes of the Company designated as its 5.000% Senior Notes due 2022. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional
Notes pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Indenture. The Notes and any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture shall be treated
as a single class of securities under the Indenture. Any term used in this Note that is defined in the Indenture shall have the
meaning assigned to it in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.


 


REDEMPTION
AND REPURCHASE. The Notes are subject to optional redemption, including optional redemption for tax reasons, and may be the subject
of a Change of Control Offer, in each case, as further described in the Indenture. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.


 


DENOMINATIONS,
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar
and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and holders
shall be required to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register
the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or tendered for repurchase in connection with a Change of
Control Offer, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part.


 


PERSONS DEEMED
OWNERS. The registered holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.


 


AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.


 


DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the holders shall be as set forth
in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.


 


AUTHENTICATION.
This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated
by the manual signature of the Trustee.


 


GOVERNING LAW.
THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional

purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act.
We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of

We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.


 


2.We
understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except

investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such
Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the
Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination
Date of the Notes with respect to applicable transfers described in the Restricted Notes Legend to require the delivery of an
opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
