 ARTICLE II 
 7.20% Notes due 2014 
 SECTION 2.01 Creation of Series; Establishment of Form.

 (a) There is hereby established a new series of Securities under the Indenture entitled “7.20% Notes due 2014”.

 (b) The form of the Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 (c) The Company shall issue the Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000. The Company may from time to time,
without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes in accordance with Sections 301 and 901 of the Indenture. Any such additional Notes subsequently issued shall rank equally and ratably with the Notes in all respects
(except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further Notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further Notes), so that such further Notes shall be consolidated and form a
single series with the Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes. 
 (d) The Notes
shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global securities, without coupons, registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary (each, a “Global Security”) and deposited with the Trustee,
as custodian for the Depositary. Any proposed transfer of an interest in the Notes shall consist of a transfer in a Global Security and shall be effected through the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary. 

(e) The Notes shall not have a sinking fund. 
 (f) The stated maturity of the principal of the Notes shall be January 15, 2014 (the “Stated Maturity”). 
 (g) The outstanding principal amount of the Note shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 7.20%, as provided in Section 2.03. 
 (h) The Notes shall be issued in denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 (i) The Notes shall be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally
with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company. 
 SECTION 2.02
Guarantee. Subject to the terms and applicable limitations set forth in the Indenture and the form of Notes, the Notes shall be jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors as to all payments due
on the Notes whether at their Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Guarantees and the Indenture. In the case of the failure of the Company to pay punctually any principal, premium
or interest on the Notes, the Guarantors shall cause any such payment to be made as it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise. The Guarantees shall be unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Guarantors and rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors that is currently outstanding or that it may issue in the future. 

SECTION 2.03 Interest. Subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.05 of this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Notes
shall bear interest at a rate equal to 7.20% per annum computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months. Interest will accrue from January 15, 2011 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing July 15, 2011, and until full
repayment of the outstanding principal of the Notes, to the Person in whose name the Notes were registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment, subject to
Section 2.05(a) below (except that payment of interest due at the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date will be made to the Person to whom payment of the principal of the Notes will be made). 

SECTION 2.04 Payment of Principal, Interest and Other Amounts. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Notes represented by a Global Security shall be made through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Indenture to the Depositary or its nominee, as the Holder of the Global Security. Initially, the Paying Agent for the Notes will be The Bank
of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, and in such an event the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. Payments of principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Notes represented by a Global Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Global Security is first
surrendered to the Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 2.05 Interest Rate Adjustment. 

(a) The interest rate applicable on the Original Issue Date shall be 7.20%. The interest rate payable on the Notes will be subject to
adjustment from time to time if any of the three Rating Agencies downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) its rating assigned to the Notes, as set forth below. 

  
 - 7 -









 (b) If the debt rating of the Notes from any one or more of the three Ratings Agencies is
decreased to a rating set forth in the table below, the interest rate of the Notes will increase from the interest rate otherwise payable on the Original Issue Date by the sum of the rates set forth in the table below opposite that rating level
(calculated per agency), provided that, at no time shall the interest rate of the Notes increase by more than 2.00%, irrespective of ratings, from the original interest rate effective on the Original Issue Date; provided further that
only the two lowest ratings assigned to the Notes will be taken into account for purposes of any interest rate adjustment.

	 CCC
	  	Ca	  	2.00%

 (c) If at any time
the interest rate on the Notes has been increased as a result of a Ratings Downgrade by a Rating Agency and such Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating of the Notes to any of the ratings set forth in the table above, the interest rate of
the Notes will be decreased to the interest rate otherwise payable on the Notes on the Original Issue Date plus the sum of the applicable interest rates set forth opposite the ratings in the table above. If any of the Rating Agencies subsequently
increases its rating of the Notes to better than BB+/Ba1 or its equivalent, the adjustment from the original interest rate attributable to that Rating Agency shall no longer apply, and unless one or more other Rating Agencies rates the Notes BB+/Ba1
or lower, the interest rate shall revert to the interest rate payable on the Notes at the date of their issuance. 
 (d) If at
any time during the term of the Notes, the Notes are rated A-/A-3 or above by any two of the Rating Agencies, the provisions described in this Section 2.05 will cease to apply and the effective interest rate on the Notes on the Original Issue
Date will remain in effect until the Stated Maturity or redemption of the Notes. 
 (e) Any increase or decrease in the interest
rate pursuant to this Section 2.05 will take effect from the first Business Day of the interest period during which a rating change requiring an adjustment in the interest rate occurs. If any Rating Agency changes its rating of the Notes more
than once during any particular interest period, the last such change to occur will control in the event of a conflict. The term “interest period” shall mean the period from and including an Interest Payment Date to and excluding the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, or in connection with the first interest period, the period from and including the Original Issue Date to and excluding the first Interest Payment Date.

 SECTION 2.06 Optional Redemption. 

(a) The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes as a whole or in part at any time upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’
prior notice, as provided in Section 1104 the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 
 (i) 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and 
 (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 85 basis points; 
 plus, in each
case described above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to (but excluding) such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

(b) Unless the Company (and/or a Guarantor) defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, from and after the Redemption Date interest will
cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in the Indenture) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. 
 (c) If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the
outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. 
 SECTION 2.07 Optional Tax Redemption. 
 (a) The Company may, at the
Company’s or the Parent Guarantor’s option, redeem the Notes in whole but not in part, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes then Outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws,
treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the
interpretation, application or administration or any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date (any such
change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”), the Company or, if a payment were then due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor, would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the
Company or the relevant Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that the 
  

 - 9 - 








 
Notes may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of the Company assigning its obligations under the Notes to a Substitute Company, unless such assignment
to a Substitute Company is undertaken as part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. 
 (b) Prior to the mailing of any
notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Company or the relevant Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Company or the relevant Guarantor is or
would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result in such Change in Tax Law. 
 (c) No notice of redemption pursuant
to this Section 2.07 may be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due.

 SECTION 2.08 Holders’ Option to Require Repayment upon a Change in Control. 

(a) In the event that (a) a Change of Control occurs, and (b) within the Change of Control Period, a Ratings Downgrade in
respect of that Change of Control occurs (an “Early Redemption Event”): 
 (i) the Company will (A) within
30 days after becoming aware of the Early Redemption Event, provide written notice thereof to the Holders, and (B) determine and provide written notice of the effective date for the purposes of early repayment (the “Effective
Date”). The Effective Date must be a Business Day not less than 60 and not more than 90 days after the giving of the notice regarding the Early Redemption Event pursuant to subparagraph (i)(A); and 

(ii) any Holder may, by submitting a redemption notice (the “Early Redemption Notice”), demand from the Company repayment
as of the Effective Date of any (in integral multiples of $1,000 (provided that the unrepurchased portion must be in a principal amount of at least $2,000)) or all of its Notes which have not otherwise been declared due for early redemption, at a
repurchase price in cash of 101% of their principal amount plus interest accrued until (but excluding) the Effective Date (and all Additional Amounts, if any).

certificate issued by any custodian or in any other suitable manner. Early Redemption Notices shall be irrevocable. 
 (c) The
Company shall not be required to redeem the Notes under this Section following an Early Redemption Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company
and such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. The Company will also not be required to redeem the Notes under this Section if it has otherwise exercised its rights to redeem the Notes in full

Notices in respect of at least 85% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes Outstanding, the Company shall have the ability by notice to the Trustee to redeem the entire Outstanding principal amount of the Notes on the Effective Date at the
same price as for the Notes being redeemed under this Section. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be given to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the Effective Date. Irrevocable notice of such redemption shall be given to the Holders
of the Notes in accordance with Section 1104 of the Indenture by the Company, or at the Company’s request, by the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, in each case as soon as practicable after receipt by the Trustee of
the foregoing notice from the Company. 
 (e) The provisions set forth in this Section 2.08 will not be effective unless
and until they are approved substantially in the form provided herein by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor will procure that a resolution to approve the terms of this Section 2.08
is presented to the shareholders of the Parent Guarantor at the first annual general meeting after              [•], 2011 and at each successive annual general meeting of the Parent
Guarantor thereafter until such resolution is approved and immediately following approval of such resolution the Parent Guarantor will cause a copy thereof to be filed with the Clerk of the Commercial Court of Brussels (“greffe du tribunal de
commerce/griffie van de rechtbank van koophandel”). The Parent Guarantor will notify the Trustee promptly after each shareholder meeting of the results of the vote on the proposed resolution. If the general meeting of shareholders of the Parent
Guarantor does not approve the provisions set forth in this Section 2.08 by the date that is nine (9) months following the Original Issue Date, the interest rate applicable to the Notes will increase by 0.25% with effect from the next
following day until the date that the Parent Guarantor notifies the Trustee that the provisions of this Section 2.08 have been approved (or if such approval is no longer required in order for the Change in Control Clause to be effective),
following which the interest rate applicable to the Notes will decrease by the same amount. 
 SECTION 2.09 Additional
Covenant. Solely with respect to the Guarantees of the Notes by the Subsidiary Guarantors, clause (i) of Section 208 of the Indenture shall be deemed to read in its entirety as follows: 

“(i) at substantially the same time as its Guarantee of the Securities is terminated, the relevant Guarantor is, or
has been, released from its guarantee of the Senior Facility Agreement and the 2010 Senior Facility Agreement, or is no longer a guarantor under either the Senior Facility Agreement or the 2010 Senior Facility Agreement and” 

SECTION 2.10 Elimination of Certain Subsidiary Guarantor Termination Provisions. With respect to the Notes the following
provisions of Section 208 of the Indenture shall be eliminated and shall not apply thereto: 
 “Any
Subsidiary Guarantor with limitations on its Guarantee pursuant to Section 209 shall be entitled to terminate its Guarantee, and the Trustee shall execute a release and termination agreement effecting such termination, with respect to any or all
series of Securities issued under this Indenture, in the event that such Subsidiary Guarantor determines that under the rules, regulations or interpretations of the Commission such Subsidiary Guarantor would be required to include its financial
statements in any registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to Securities or Guarantees issued hereunder or in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission (by reason of such limitations or otherwise).”

 With respect to the Notes the following provisions of Section 209 of the Indenture shall be eliminated and shall not apply
thereto: 
 “Each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to amend or modify by execution of an
indenture supplemental hereto the terms of its Guarantee or the limitations applicable to its Guarantee, as set forth in this Section 209, in any respect reasonably deemed necessary by such Subsidiary Guarantor to meet the requirements of Rule 3-10
under Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar regulation or exemption) in order for financial statements of such Subsidiary Guarantor not to be required to be included in any registration statement or in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission.” 
 Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to affect any notes or
guarantees other than the Notes and the Guarantees thereof.

hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [    ] Dollars on January 15, 2014 and to pay interest thereon from January 15, 2011 or from the most recent Interest

 [REVERSE OF SECURITY] 

1. Securities and Indenture 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as
of October 16, 2009 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of              [•], 2011 (the “Sixteenth
Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), in each case among the Company, Anheuser-Busch InBev NV/SA, as Parent Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto from time to time and
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

 2. Series and Denomination 
 This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000, except as provided in the Indenture. References herein to “this
series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, references herein to the “Securities” means (unless the context otherwise requires) the Securities of this series and
includes any other securities issued, as provided in the Indenture and forming a single series with the Securities of this series. 
 The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

3. Interest Rate Adjustment 
 The interest rate payable on the Securities will be subject to adjustment from time to time if any of the three Rating Agencies downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) its rating assigned to the Securities,
as set forth below. 
 If the debt rating of the Securities from any one or more of the three Ratings Agencies is decreased to a
rating set forth in the table below, the interest rate of the Securities will increase from the interest rate otherwise payable on the day Securities are first issued (the “Original Issue Date”) by the sum of the rates set forth in
the table below opposite that rating level (calculated per agency), provided that, at no time shall the interest rate of the Securities increase by more than 2.00%, irrespective of ratings, from the original interest rate effective on the
Original Issue Date; provided further that only the two lowest ratings assigned to the Securities will be taken into account for purposes of any interest rate adjustment.

	  	 Adjustment from Original

Interest Rate (per Rating
 Agency)

	 BB+
	  	Ba1	  	.25%
	 BB

	  	B3	  	1.50%
	 CCC+
	  	Caa	  	1.75%
	 CCC
	  	Ca	  	2.00%

 If at any time the
interest rate on the Securities has been increased as a result of a Ratings Downgrade by a Rating Agency and such Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating of the Securities to any of the ratings set forth in the table above, the interest rate
of the Securities will be decreased to the interest rate otherwise payable on the Securities on the Original Issue Date plus the sum of the applicable interest rates set forth opposite the ratings in the table above. If any of the Rating Agencies
subsequently increases its rating of the Securities to better than BB+/Ba1 or its equivalent, the adjustment from the original interest rate attributable to that Rating Agency shall no longer apply, and unless one or more other Rating Agencies rates
the Securities BB+/Ba1 or lower, the interest rate shall revert to the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Original Issue Date. 
 If at any time during the term of the Securities, the Securities are rated A-/A-3 or above by any two of the Rating Agencies, the provisions described in this Section will cease to apply and the effective
interest rate on the Securities on the Original Issue Date will remain in effect until the Stated Maturity or redemption of the Securities. 
 Any increase or decrease in the interest rate pursuant to this Section will take effect from the first Business Day of the interest period during which a rating change requiring an adjustment in the
interest rate occurs. If any Rating Agency changes its rating of the Securities more than once during any particular interest period, the last such change to occur will control in the event of a conflict. The term “interest period” shall
mean the period from and including an Interest Payment Date to and excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or in connection with the first interest period, the period from and including the Original Issue Date to and excluding the first
Interest Payment Date. 
 4. Redemption at the Company’s Option 

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities of this series as a whole or in part at any time upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior notice at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 85 basis points; plus, in each case described above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to (but excluding) such Redemption Date.

  

 A-6 








 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of
this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 5. Repurchase at the Option of Holder Upon a Change in Control  
 In the
event that (a) a Change of Control occurs, and (b) within the Change of Control Period, a Ratings Downgrade in respect of that Change of Control occurs (an “Early Redemption Event”): 

(i) the Company will (A) within 30 days after becoming aware of the Early Redemption Event, provide written notice thereof to the
Holders, and (B) determine and provide written notice of the effective date for the purposes of early repayment (the “Effective Date”). The Effective Date must be a Business Day not less than 60 and not more than 90 days after
the giving of the notice regarding the Early Redemption Event pursuant to subparagraph (i)(A); and 
 (ii) any Holder may, by
submitting a redemption notice, in the form attached as Annex A (the “Early Redemption Notice”), demand from the Company repayment as of the Effective Date of any (in integral multiples of $1,000 (provided that the unrepurchased
portion must be in a principal amount of at least $2,000)) or all of its Securities which have not otherwise been declared due for early redemption, at a repurchase price in cash of 101% of their principal amount plus interest accrued until (but
excluding) the Effective Date (and all Additional Amounts, if any). 
 Any Early Redemption Notice shall be made in writing in
English and shall be delivered by hand, by registered mail, or by facsimile transmission to the Trustee not less than 30 days prior to the Effective Date at its specified office. The Early Redemption Notice must be accompanied by evidence showing
that the relevant Holder is the Holder of the relevant Note(s) at the time the Early Redemption Notice is delivered. Such evidence may be provided in the form of a certificate issued by any custodian or in any other suitable manner. Early Redemption
Notices shall be irrevocable. 
 The Company shall not be required to redeem the Securities under this Section following an
Early Redemption Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Securities properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer. The Company will also not be required to redeem the Securities under this Section if it has otherwise exercised it rights to redeem the Securities in full or has defeased the Securities as described in the Indenture.

 If, as a result of this Section, Holders of the Securities submit Early Redemption Notices in respect of at least 85% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding, the Company shall have the ability by notice to the Trustee to redeem the entire outstanding principal amount of the Securities on the Effective Date at the same price as for the Securities
being redeem under this Section. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be given to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the Effective Date. Notice of such redemption shall be given to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed in the
manner provided for in the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture. 

  
 A-7









 The provisions set forth in this Section will not be effective unless and until they are
approved substantially in the form provided herein by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor will procure that a resolution to approve the terms of this Section is presented to the
shareholders of the Parent Guarantor at the first annual general meeting after              [•], 2011 and at each successive annual general meeting of the Parent Guarantor thereafter
until such resolution is approved and immediately following approval of such resolution the Parent Guarantor will cause a copy thereof to be filed with the Clerk of the Commercial Court of Brussels (“greffe du tribunal de commerce/griffie
van de rechtbank van koophandel”). The Parent Guarantor will notify the Trustee promptly after each shareholder meeting of the results of the vote on the proposed resolution. If the general meeting of shareholders of the Parent Guarantor
does not approve the provisions set forth in this Section by the date that is nine (9) months following the Original Issue Date, the interest rate applicable to the Securities will increase by 0.25% with effect from the next following day until
the date that the Parent Guarantor notifies the Trustee that the provisions of this Section have been approved (or unless and until such approval is no longer required in order for the Change in Control Clause to be effective), following which the
interest rate applicable to the Securities will decrease by the same amount. 
 6. Optional Tax Redemption 

The Company may, at the Company’s or the Parent Guarantor’s option, redeem the Securities in whole, but not in part, upon not
less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed
(and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is
incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the interpretation, application or administration or any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings
(including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date (any such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”), the Company or, if a payment were then
due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor, would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company or the relevant Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that
the Securities may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of the Company assigning its obligations under the Securities to a Substitute Company, unless such assignment to a Substitute Company is undertaken as
part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. 
 Prior to the, mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section,
the Company or the relevant Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Company or the relevant Guarantor is or would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a
result in such Change in Tax Law. 

  
 A-8









 No notice of redemption pursuant to this Section may be given earlier that ninety
(90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due. 

7. Additional Amounts 
 In the event that any Guarantor becomes obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities, such Guarantor will make all payments in respect of the Securities without withholding or deduction for or
on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by way of withholding or deduction at source by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which such Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident
or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (the “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, such Guarantor will pay to the Holders
such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which
would otherwise have been receivable in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable on account of any taxes or duties which: 

(a) are payable by any person acting as custodian bank or collecting agent on behalf of a Holder, or otherwise in any
manner which does not constitute a deduction or withholding by such Guarantor from payment of principal or interest made by it, or 
 (b) are payable by reason of the Holder or beneficial owner having, or having had, some personal or business connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and not merely by reason of the fact that
payments in respect of the Securities or the Guarantees are, or for purposes of taxation are deemed to be, derived from sources in, or are secured in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or 

(c) are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner to provide certification,
information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence, or identity of the Holder and beneficial owner or to make any valid or timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any other reporting requirements relating to such
matters, whether required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice, as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of withholding or deduction of such taxes, or 

(d) consist of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property or similar taxes, or 

(e) are imposed on or with respect to any payment by the applicable Guarantor to the registered Holder if such Holder is a
fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such registered Holder been the sole beneficial owner of this Security, or

  

 A-9 








 (f) are deducted or withheld pursuant to (i) any European Union
directive or regulation concerning the taxation of interest income, or (ii) any international treaty or understanding relating to such taxation and to which the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or the European Union is a party, or (iii) any
provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such directive, regulation, treaty or understanding, or 
 (g) are payable by reason of a change in law or practice that becomes effective more than 30 days after the relevant payment of principal or interest becomes due, or is duly provided for and written
notice thereof is provided to the Holders, whichever occurs later, or 
 (h) are payable because any Security was
presented to a particular paying agent for payment if the Security could have been presented to another paying agent without any such withholding or deduction, or 

(i) are payable for any combination of (a) through (h) above. 

References to principal or interest in respect of the Securities shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts which may be payable
as set forth in the Indenture. 
 The covenant regarding Additional Amounts shall not apply to any Guarantor at any time when
such Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, and will apply to the Company any time it is incorporated in a jurisdiction outside of the United States. 

8. Transfer and Exchange 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration
of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due
presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
