Introductory Note

Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to "we," "us," "our," "our company," "the company" or "Digital Realty" refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Digital Realty Trust, L.P., our "operating partnership."

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2025, Digital Dutch Finco B.V., an indirect wholly owned finance subsidiary of the operating partnership, issued and sold €850,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2034 (the "Euro Notes"). The Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Dutch Finco B.V. and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the operating partnership. The Euro Notes were sold outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Euro Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to United States persons (within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The terms of the Euro Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of June 25, 2025, among Digital Dutch Finco B.V., Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the operating partnership, Deutsche Trustee Company Limited, as trustee, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as paying agent and a transfer agent, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as registrar (the "Indenture"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. The descriptions of the Indenture, the Euro Notes and the guarantees in this report are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture, including the form of the Euro Notes included therein.

Net proceeds from the offering of the Euro Notes were approximately €836.6 million after deducting managers' discounts and estimated offering expenses. The company intends to use the net proceeds from the Euro Notes to temporarily repay borrowings outstanding under the operating partnership's global revolving credit facilities, acquire additional properties or businesses, fund development opportunities, invest in interest-bearing accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities which are consistent with Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s intention to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt, or the redemption, repurchase, repayment or retirement of outstanding equity or debt securities, or a combination of the foregoing.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 25, 2025, Digital Dutch Finco B.V., an indirect wholly owned finance subsidiary of the operating partnership, issued and sold €850 million aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes. The purchase price paid by the initial purchasers for the Euro Notes was 98.712% of the principal amount thereof. The Euro Notes bear interest at the rate of 3.875% per annum and will mature on July 15, 2034. Interest on the Euro Notes is payable on July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2025. The Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Dutch Finco B.V. and rank equally in right of payment with all of Digital Dutch Finco B.V.'s other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Digital Dutch Finco B.V.'s obligations under the Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the operating partnership.

The Euro Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at Digital Dutch Finco B.V.'s option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

• an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Euro Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date and

• a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Euro Notes are redeemed on or after 90 days prior to the maturity date, the redemption price for the notes will not include a make-whole premium.

All payments of principal and interest on the Euro Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax, unless the withholding of such tax, assessment or governmental charge is required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof. In the event such withholding or deduction of taxes is required by law, then, subject to certain exceptions, Digital Dutch Finco B.V. will pay such "additional amounts" necessary so that the net payment of the principal of and interest on the Euro Notes to a holder who is not a United States person for United States federal income tax purposes, including additional amounts, after the withholding or deduction, will not be less than the amount provided in such Euro Notes to be then due and payable.

If, due to certain changes in tax law, Digital Dutch Finco B.V. has or will become obligated to pay additional amounts on the Euro Notes or if there is a substantial probability that Digital Dutch Finco B.V. will become obligated to pay additional amounts on the Euro Notes, then Digital Dutch Finco B.V. may, on giving not less than 15 days' nor more than 45 days' notice, at its option, redeem the Euro Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Euro Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption.

Certain events are considered events of default, which may result in the accelerated maturity of the Euro Notes, including:

• a default for 30 days in payment of any installment of interest under the Euro Notes;

• default in the payment of the principal amount or redemption price due with respect to the Euro Notes, when the same becomes due and payable;

• Digital Dutch Finco B.V.'s, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s, or the operating partnership's failure to comply with any of their respective other agreements in the Euro Notes or the Indenture upon receipt by Digital Dutch Finco B.V., Digital Realty Trust, Inc., or the operating partnership of notice of such default from the trustee or from holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes then outstanding and Digital Dutch Finco B.V.'s, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s, or the operating partnership's failure to cure (or obtain a waiver of) such default within 90 days after receipt of such notice;

• failure to pay any indebtedness (other than non-recourse indebtedness) that is (a) of Digital Dutch Finco B.V., Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the operating partnership, any subsidiary in which the operating partnership has invested at least $125,000,000 in capital, which we refer to as a Significant Subsidiary, or any entity in which the operating partnership is the general partner, and (b) in an outstanding principal amount in excess of $125,000,000 at final maturity or upon acceleration after the expiration of any applicable grace period, which indebtedness (other than non-recourse indebtedness) is not discharged, or such default in payment or acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within 60 days after written notice to Digital Dutch Finco B.V. from the trustee (or to Digital Dutch Finco B.V. and the trustee from holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Euro Notes); or

• certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of Digital Dutch Finco B.V., Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the operating partnership or any Significant Subsidiary or any substantial part of their respective property.

The Registrar shall deliver the authenticated Notes to the relevant nominee of the Common Safekeeper for Euroclear. The Common Safekeeper shall effectuate the Notes in accordance with the Issuer's effectuation authorization instructions.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited; *provided* that upon initial issuance, the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding shall not exceed €850,000,000, except as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08. The Issuer may, without notice to or consent of the Holders, issue Additional Notes from time to time in the future in an unlimited principal amount, subject to compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

*Section 2.02 Form of Notes.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Temporary Global Notes*. Notes offered and sold will be issued initially in the form of the Temporary Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with, and registered in the name of, Euroclear Nominees Limited as nominee for the Common Safekeeper for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee or the authenticating agent as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period will be terminated upon the receipt by the Trustee of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a written certificate from Euroclear and Clearstream, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, certifying that they have received certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership in the form of Exhibit F of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Temporary Global Note; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) an Officers' Certificate from the Issuer stating that the Restricted Period has been terminated.

Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in a Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures, including the procedures set forth in Section 2.02(b). Upon the completion of such full exchange, simultaneously with the authentication of the Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel the Temporary Global Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(b) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable.* The provisions of the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear" and the "General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking" and "Customer Handbook" of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note and the Permanent Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(c) Permanent Global Notes and Global Notes Generally.* Permanent Global Notes will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be printed in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the requirements of the Irish Stock Exchange (from time to time) and will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 hereto (including

------

the Definitive Note Legend thereon but without the Permanent Global Note Legend thereon except to the extent included in the Definitive Note Legend and without the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Common Safekeeper, at the direction of the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder as required by Section 2.06 hereof. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A1 hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the Officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Common Safekeeper or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

*Section 2.03 Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A1 hereto. The amount of interest payable in respect of each Note for any Interest Period shall be calculated by applying the interest rate to the principal amount of such Note and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). Where interest is to be calculated in respect of a period which is equal to or shorter than an Interest Period, the day-count fraction applied to calculate the amount of interest payable in respect of each Note shall follow actual/actual (ICMA) basis and shall be the number of days in the relevant period from (and including) the date from which interest begins to accrue to (but excluding) the date on which it falls due, divided by the number of days in the Interest Period in which the relevant period falls (including the first such day but excluding the last).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Register at 5.00 p.m., London time, on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Issuer maintained by the Issuer for such purposes, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Issuer shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Register; *provided, however*, that a Holder of any Notes in certificated form in the aggregate principal amount of more than €3.0 million may specify by written notice to the Issuer that it pay interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Holder in such notice, or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Common Safekeeper or its nominee. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall accrue thereon. The term "Record Date" with respect to any interest payment date shall mean the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.

------

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date (herein called "*Defaulted Interest*") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder registered as such on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5.00 p.m., London time, on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer 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 (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or 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 in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be sent by electronic transmission or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Register, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such special record date (unless, the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5.00 p.m., London time, on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

*Section 2.04 Execution of Notes.* 

Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer. The Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Notes attached as Exhibit A1 hereto, executed manually by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

------

In case any Officer who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.

*Section 2.05 Registrar, Paying Agents and Transfer Agents.* 

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("*Registrar*") and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("*Paying Agent*"). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the "*Register*"). The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents and transfer agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and transfer agent, the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent and transfer agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder, subject to the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof. The Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. of 2 Boulevard Konrad Adenauer, L-1115 Luxembourg to act as the Registrar and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch to act as the Paying Agent and Transfer Agent with respect to the Global Notes.

The Agents shall only be obliged to perform duties set out in this Indenture and the terms and conditions of the Notes and shall have no implied duties. The obligations of the Agents appointed herein are several and not joint. No funds held by any Agent other than the Issuer, a Guarantor or a Subsidiary pursuant to this Indenture will be held in trust or segregated except as required by law. While any default by the Issuer in making payment of principal, premium if any, or interest on the Notes continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer, a Guarantor or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer, a Guarantor or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will 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 Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. The Agents appointed by the Issuer hereunder shall act solely as Agents of the Issuer and need have no concern for the interest of the Holders.

*Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes*. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Common Safekeeper to a nominee of the Common Safekeeper, by a nominee of the Common Safekeeper to the Common Safekeeper or to another nominee of the Common Safekeeper, or by the Common Safekeeper or any such nominee to a successor Common Safekeeper or a nominee of such successor Common Safekeeper. Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary or Common Safekeeper that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or Common Safekeeper and a successor Depositary or Common Safekeeper, as the case may be, is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; *provided* that in no event shall the Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note requests such exchange in writing delivered through either Euroclear or Clearstream or if Euroclear or Clearstream request such exchange following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 (other than upon any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii)) or Section 2.07 or 2.08 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes*. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note*. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Permanent Global Note Legend or Temporary Global Note Legend, as applicable; *provided*, *however*, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(i).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) *All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.* In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (B)(i) above;

*provided* that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Beneficial Interests in Global Note to Definitive Notes.* A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note except in limited circumstances as provided in Section 2.06(a). If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then, upon receipt by the Registrar of the following documentation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof or at the Registrar's request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover 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 2.08, 3.04 and 9.04 hereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer will be required:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note for a period of fifteen (15) days prior to (1) any date fixed for the redemption of the Notes, (2) the date fixed for selection of Notes, to be redeemed in part or (3) the Record Date with respect to any interest payment date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer 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 of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) The Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04 hereof.

*Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.* 

In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Note, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity bond as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Following receipt by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity bond and evidence, as described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and make available for delivery such Note. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption, as the case may be, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or exchange or authorize the exchange of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or exchange shall furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity bond as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or in connection with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or redemption of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or redemption of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

*Section 2.08 Temporary Notes.* 

Pending the preparation of Notes in certificated form, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Notes in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the

------

Issuer will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Notes in certificated form and thereupon any or all temporary Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Issuer at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

*Section 2.09 Cancellation of Notes.* 

All Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Issuer or any Paying Agent or any Registrar, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

*Section 2.10 Common Code and ISIN Number.* 

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use a "Common Code" number or an "ISIN" number, and if so, such Common Code and/or ISIN number shall be included in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the Common Code and/or ISIN number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee and each Agent of any change in the Common Code and/or ISIN number.

*Section 2.11 Issuance of Additional Notes.* 

The Issuer will be entitled, upon delivery of an Officers' Certificate, Opinion of Counsel and Authentication Order, subject to its compliance with Section 4.10, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture that will have identical terms to the Initial Notes issued on the date of this Indenture other than with respect to the date of issuance and, if applicable, the issue price and the initial interest payment date. Such Additional Notes will rank equally and ratable in right of payment and will be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture; *provided*, *however*, that if such Additional Notes will not be fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate Common Code and ISIN number.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer will set forth in a resolution of its Board of Directors and an Officers' Certificate, a copy of each of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

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

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

------

*Section 2.12 New Safekeeping Structure.* 

The Paying Agent undertakes to the Issuer that it will, in connection with the issue of the Notes, perform the duties which are stated to be performed by it in Exhibit H (New Safekeeping Structure Duties). Each Agent (other than the Paying Agent) agrees that if any information that is required by the Paying Agent to perform the duties set out in such Exhibit becomes known to it, it will promptly provide such information to the Paying Agent.

*Section 2.13 Election of Common Safekeeper.* 

The Issuer hereby authorizes and instructs the Paying Agent to elect Euroclear as common safekeeper (the "*Common Safekeeper*"). The Issuer acknowledges that any such election is subject to the right of Euroclear and Clearstream to jointly determine that the other shall act as Common Safekeeper and agrees that no liability shall attach to the Paying Agent in respect of any such election made by it.

*Section 2.14 Authority to Authenticate and Effectuate.* 

The Registrar is authorized by the Issuer to (i) authenticate the Global Note and the Definitive Notes (if any) and (ii) transmit such Global Note electronically to the Common Safekeeper and to give effectuation instructions in respect of the Global Note following authentication thereof by the signature of any of its officers or any other person duly authorized for the purpose by the Registrar. The Issuer further authorizes and instructs the Registrar to cancel and return to the Issuer the Global Note retained by it following its receipt of confirmation from the Common Safekeeper that the Global Note has been effectuated.

**ARTICLE 3** 

REDEMPTION OF NOTES

*Section 3.01 Optional Redemption of Notes.* 

The Issuer may redeem on any one or more occasions some or all of the Notes before they mature. The redemption price (the "*Redemption Price*") will equal the sum of (1) an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Redemption Date and (2) the Make-Whole Premium; *provided* that, the Issuer will not redeem the Notes on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Redemption Price will not include the Make-Whole Premium; *provided further* that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption) and the Redemption Price shall not include accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

*Section 3.02 Redemption upon Changes in Withholding Tax.* 

The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, upon not less than fifteen (15) days' and not more than forty-five (45) days' published notice as contemplated in Section 3.03 below, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date prior to the Redemption Date, if any, then due and that shall become due on such Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise) if:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) it determines that as a result of (i) any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of the Netherlands (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax) (a "*Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction*"), or (ii) any change in, or amendment to, any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice), which change or amendment is announced as formally proposed on or after the date of the Listing Particulars, it or any Guarantor becomes or will become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.14. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, (A) changes or amendments announced as formally proposed on or after the date of the Listing Particulars shall be considered to include any changes of, or amendments to, the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (*Wet bronbelasting 2021*) in the form adopted by the Upper House of the Dutch Parliament on 17 December 2019 and any official interpretations, including any judgments or orders by a court of competent jurisdiction or published administrative practice or policy, deviating from, or putting administrative obligations on the Issuer that exceed, what follows from the literal interpretation of this act, in each case if any such change, amendment or interpretation is announced as formally proposed on or after the date of the Listing Particulars and (B) any taxes levied from or assessed on the Issuer or any Guarantor, or that the Issuer or any Guarantor are required to pay by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, under the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (*Wet bronbelasting 2021)* shall be considered as additional amounts except if and to the extent such tax is levied in respect of payments on Notes held by a Holder or beneficiary (*voordeelsgerechtigde*) after the Issuer and the Guarantors have become aware that such Holder or beneficiary is related (*gelieerd*) to the Issuer or any Guarantor for purposes of the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (*Wet bronbelasting 2021*); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any act is taken by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on or after the date of the Listing Particulars, whether or not such act is taken with respect to the Issuer or any affiliate, that results in a substantial probability that it or any Guarantor will or may be required to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.14,

provided that it or the relevant Guarantor or Guarantors (as the case may be) determine, in its or their business judgment, that the obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.14 cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to it or them (which does not include substitution of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Notes) and the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor or Guarantors (as the case may be) have received an Opinion of Counsel (to the effect that as a result of such change or amendment the Issuer will, or that an act taken by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction has resulted in a substantial probability that it or any Guarantor will, or may, be required to pay the additional amounts described in Section 4.14 or the taxes referred to in Section 3.02(a)(B)) and the Issuer or the Guarantors shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that, based on such opinion, the Issuer is entitled to redeem the Notes pursuant to their terms. The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as set forth in this Section, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

*Section 3.03 Notice of Optional Redemption, Selection of Notes.* 

In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, it shall fix the Redemption Date. The Issuer or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five (5) Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be sent, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail or cause to be mailed, or sent by electronic transmission a notice of such redemption not fewer than fifteen (15) calendar days nor more than forty five (45) calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be

------

redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Register; *provided* that if the Issuer makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, *provided further* that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Issuer. Such mailing shall be by first class mail or sent by electronic transmission. The notice, if sent in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Concurrently with the sending of any such notice of redemption, the Issuer shall issue a press release announcing such redemption, the form and content of which press release shall be determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion. The failure to issue any such press release or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the redemption notice or any of the proceedings for the redemption of any Note called for redemption.

While the Notes are represented by Global Notes, notice may be given to Euroclear or Clearstream for communications to Participants and, so long as the Notes are admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuer will forthwith notify the Irish Stock Exchange of any change in the principal amount of Notes outstanding. So long as the Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Issuer shall notify, or cause to be notified, such Stock Exchange of each redemption of Notes made pursuant to this Indenture.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the Common Code and ISIN number or codes and numbers of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day) and the record date, (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including Common Codes and ISIN numbers, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Issuer will deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price; *provided* that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 10.00 a.m., London time, on such date. The Issuer shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price.

If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Notes or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof) as required by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the depositary for the notes, or, if Euroclear and Clearstream prescribes no method of selection, on a *pro rata* basis, by use of a pool factor. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not be liable for any selections of notes made in accordance with this paragraph.

------

*Section 3.04 Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Issuer.* 

If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.03, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and, on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Notes shall, except as provided in Section 7.05 and Section 11.02, cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented.

*Section 3.05 Sinking Fund.* 

There shall be no sinking fund provided for the Notes.

**ARTICLE 4**

The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by the Trustee. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer may change the Registrar or a Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee, without prior notice to the Holders; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (a) acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (b) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall, to the extent that it determines that it is able, serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (a) above; provided, further, that in no event may the Issuer appoint a Paying Agent in any member state of the European Union where the Paying Agent would be obliged to withhold or deduct tax in connection with any payment made by it in relation to the Notes unless the Paying Agent would be so obliged if it were located in all other member states. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign by providing thirty (30) days' written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee. In addition, for so long as the Notes are admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market, the Issuer shall publish notice of the change in the Registrar or Paying Agent to the extent and in the manner permitted by the rules and regulations of the Irish Stock Exchange, posted on the official website of the Irish Stock Exchange.

*Section 4.04 Provisions as to the Agents.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the Issuer shall appoint a Paying Agent, or if the Trustee shall appoint such a Paying Agent, other than the initial Paying Agent, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, the Issuer will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04, and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as initial Paying Agent, hereby agrees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held.

The Issuer shall, on or before 10.00 am, London time, on the Business Day prior to each due date of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum (in funds which are immediately available on the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any failure to take such action. Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 4.04(a) by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall make payments on the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Issuer shall ensure that two (2) Business Days prior to the date that such payment is due to be made, it will confirm in writing to the Paying Agent in a form agreed upon by the Paying Agent and the Issuer the payment scheduled to be made. No Agent shall be obliged to make payment to Holders until such time as it has received funds and been able to identify or confirm receipt of funds.

The Paying Agent shall not be obliged to make payment to Holders until such time as it has received funds and been able to identify or confirm receipt of funds. For the avoidance of doubt, a Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to payments or disbursements to be made by such Paying Agent and the Trustee (i) for which payment instructions are not made or that are not otherwise deposited by the respective times set forth in this section 4.04; and (ii) until they have confirmed receipt of funds sufficient to make the relevant payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Issuer shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Issuer (or any other obligor under the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes when the same shall become due and payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held by the Issuer or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee and upon such payment by the Issuer or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Issuer or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 4.04 is subject to Section 11.02 and Section 11.03.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Issuer and the Agents acknowledge and agree that in the event of a Default or Event of Default, the Trustee may, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Agents, require that the Agents act as agents of, and take instructions exclusively from, the Trustee. Prior to receiving such written notice from the Trustee, the Agents shall be the agents of the Issuer and need have no concern for the interests of the Holders except as set forth in this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Agents will hold all funds as bankers subject to the terms of this Indenture and as a result, such money will not be held in accordance with the rules established by the Financial Conduct Authority in the Financial Conduct Authority's Handbook of rules and guidance from time to time in relation to client money.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Any obligation the Agents may have to publish a notice to Holders of a Global Note on behalf of the Issuer will have been met upon delivery of the notice to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as applicable.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for the actions of any other Paying Agents (including the Issuer if acting as its own Paying Agent) and shall have no control of any funds held by such other Paying Agents.

*Section 4.05 Existence.* 

Subject to Article 10 hereof, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and rights (charter and statutory); *provided* that neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors shall be required to preserve any such right if the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

*Section 4.06 Reports.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Guarantors will furnish to the Holders of Notes or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Holders of Notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) all quarterly and annual reports of the Company and the General Partner that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Guarantors were required to file such reports; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) all current reports of the Company and the General Partner that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Guarantors were required to file such reports.

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Company's and the General Partner's consolidated financial statements by the Guarantors' independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, the Guarantors will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods

------

specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and will make the reports available on the Company's website within those time periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantors may satisfy their obligation to furnish the reports described above by furnishing, or filing with the SEC for public availability, reports of each of the Guarantors within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations.

If, at any time, the Guarantors are no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Guarantors will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Issuer and the Guarantors will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept either Guarantor's filings for any reason, they will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs to be available on the General Partner's website within the time periods that would apply if the Guarantors were required to file those reports with the SEC.

Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this section will be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee's receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer's compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or documents related thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) So long as the Notes are admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market, all reports referred to in this section will be available at the offices of the Paying Agent.

*Section 4.07 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.* 

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

*Section 4.08 Compliance Certificate.* 

Within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by any of the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Issuer and the Guarantors, as the case may be, stating whether or not the signer has knowledge of any Default under this Indenture, and, if so, specifying each Default and the nature and the status thereof.

The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware of (i) any Default in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, or (ii) any Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate specifying with particularity such Default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Issuer has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Any notice required to be given under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.

------

*Section 4.09 Taxes.* 

The Company will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

*Section 4.10 Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness, other than Intercompany Indebtedness and guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in compliance with this Indenture, if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof, Total Outstanding Debt would be greater than 60% of Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the annual or quarterly report of the Company most recently furnished to Holders of the Notes or filed with the SEC, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Secured Debt, other than guarantees of Secured Debt Incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in compliance with this Indenture, if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of Secured Debt would be greater than 40% of Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the annual or quarterly report of the Company most recently furnished to Holders of the Notes or filed with the SEC, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and its Subsidiaries will at all times maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Unsecured Debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness other than Intercompany Indebtedness and guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in compliance with this Indenture, if the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Interest Expense for the most recent quarterly period covered in the annual or quarterly report of the Company most recently furnished to holders of the Notes or filed with the SEC, as the case may be and in accordance with Section 4.06 hereof, prior to such time, annualized (i.e., multiplied by four (4)) prior to the date on which such additional Indebtedness is to be Incurred shall have been less than 1.50:1.00 on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) such Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such quarterly period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Indebtedness, had occurred at the beginning of such period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the repayment or retirement of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness repaid or retired with the proceeds of any other Indebtedness, which repayment or retirement shall be calculated pursuant to the preceding clause (1)) by the Company and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such quarterly period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such period);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) in the case of Acquired Indebtedness or Indebtedness Incurred in connection with any acquisition since the first day of such quarterly period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) in the case of any acquisition or disposition of any asset or group of assets or the placement of any assets in service or removal of any assets from service by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the first day of such quarterly period to the date of determination, including, without limitation, by merger, or stock or asset purchase or sale, the acquisition, disposition, placement in service or removal from service had occurred as of the first day of such period, with appropriate adjustments to Interest Expense with respect to the acquisition, disposition, placement in service or removal from service being included in that pro forma calculation.

*Section 4.11 Maintenance of Properties.* 

The Issuer and the Company shall cause all of their material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order, casualty and condemnation excepted (and the Issuer and the Company may take out of service for a period of time, any of their properties that have been condemned or suffered any loss due to casualty in order to make such repairs, betterments and improvements), all as in the judgment of the Issuer and the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; *provided, however*, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Issuer and the Company may discontinue the maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Issuer and the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Consolidated Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders, and (ii) the Issuer and the Company and their Subsidiaries may sell or otherwise dispose of any of their properties for value in the ordinary course of business.

*Section 4.12 Insurance.* 

The Issuer and the Company shall cause each of their properties and each of the properties of their Subsidiaries to be insured against loss of damage with insurers of recognized responsibility, in commercially reasonable amounts and types as determined by the Issuer and the Company.

*Section 4.13 Maintenance of Listing.* 

The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the listing of the Notes on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and the admission to trading of the Notes on the Global Exchange Market and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing and admission to trading of the Notes for so long as any Note is outstanding; provided that, if at any time the Issuer determines that it is unable to obtain such listing and admission to trading or it can no longer reasonably comply with the requirements for such listing and admission to trading or if the Issuer, acting in good faith, considers that maintenance of such listing and admission to trading has become unduly onerous and is of the opinion that not maintaining such listing would not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders, the Issuer may use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (prior to the delisting of the Notes from the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and withdrawal from trading on the Global Exchange Market), and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain, a listing of such Notes on such other stock exchange or exchanges or securities markets as the Issuer may decide.

The Issuer will at all times use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure that there will be furnished to any stock exchange on which the Notes are from time to time listed or quoted such information in relation to the Issuer and/or the Guarantors as such stock exchange may require in accordance with its normal requirements or in accordance with any arrangements for the time being made with any such stock exchange.

------

*Section 4.14 Payment of Additional Amounts.* 

All payments of principal of and interest on the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge (collectively, "*Taxes*") imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, unless the withholding of such Taxes is required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof. The Issuer will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a Holder, after deduction for any present or future Taxes of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, imposed by withholding with respect to the payment, will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to any Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to any Taxes that are imposed or withheld by reason of the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of such note (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a Person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than merely holding or being a beneficial owner of such note or the receipt or enforcement of payments or deliveries thereunder), including such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been organized or incorporated in, a national, domiciliary or resident, or treated as a resident, of, or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business, or having had a permanent establishment, in, such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Note, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) to any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely by reason of the failure to (i) comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of, or other information relating to, the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note, if compliance is required by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for not falling under the scope of such Taxes (including for purposes of the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (*Wet Bronbelasting 2021*)), or as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes (including the submission of an applicable United States Internal Revenue Service ("*IRS*") Form W-8 (with any required attachments)) or (ii) comply with any information gathering and reporting requirements or to take any similar action (including entering into any agreement with the IRS), in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum available exemption from withholding by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that is available to payments received by or on behalf of the Holder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) to any Taxes that are imposed otherwise than by withholding from the payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) to any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than fifteen (15) days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax or a similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) to any Taxes required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to any Taxes that are imposed or levied by reason of the presentation (where presentation is required in order to receive payment) of such Notes for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable, except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner thereof would have been entitled to additional amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such thirty (30) day period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) to any backup withholding or any Taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) to any Dutch withholding tax under the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (*Wet bronbelasting 2021*) imposed on a Holder or, where applicable, a beneficiary (*voordeelsgerechtigde*) of the Notes for purposes of the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (*Wet bronbelasting 2021*) that is an entity that is related (*gelieerd*) to the Issuer within the meaning of the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (*Wet bronbelasting 2021*). An entity is considered related to the Issuer if (i) it directly or indirectly holds a Qualifying Interest in the Issuer, (ii) the Issuer directly or indirectly holds a Qualifying Interest in the entity, or (iii) a third party or a Qualifying Unity (kwalificerende eenheid) directly or indirectly holds a Qualifying Interest in both the Issuer and the entity; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) in the case of any combination of any items (a) through (k).

The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable thereto. Except as specifically provided by this Section 4.14, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

*Section 4.15 Officers' Certificate for Additional Amounts.* 

If the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay additional amounts arises less than forty-five (45) days prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer or the Guarantor shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an Officers' Certificate stating the fact that additional amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officers' Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably requested by the Paying Agent to enable the Paying Agent to pay such additional amounts to holders on the relevant payment date. The Issuer and the Guarantor will provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of additional amounts. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officers' Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.

At any time after the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, subject in all respects to Section 6.07 hereof, if: (a) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived; and (b) the Issuer or the Guarantors have deposited with the Trustee all required payments of the principal of and interest on the Notes, plus the compensation and reimbursement for the Trustee's reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances pursuant to Section 7.06. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of any Event of Default, as provided in Section 4.08.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Holders, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Holders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

*Section 6.02 Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor.* 

The Issuer covenants that in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b), upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, (i) the whole amount that then shall be due and payable on all such Notes for principal and premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest at the rate borne by the Notes, plus 1%, from the required payment date and, (ii) in addition thereto, any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the registered Holders, whether or not the Notes are overdue.

------

In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes under any Bankruptcy Law, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or such other obligor, the property of the Issuer or such other obligor, or in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, and to take any other action with respect to such claims, including participating as a member of any official committee of creditors, as it reasonably deems necessary or advisable, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings 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, monies, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders parties to any such proceedings.

*Section 6.03 Application of Monies Collected by Trustee.* 

Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6, shall be applied, in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

THIRD: In case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest, as provided in Section 6.02, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest; and

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

*Section 6.04 Proceedings by Holders.* 

No Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, unless (a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity and/or security (including by way of prefunding) reasonably satisfactory to it as it may require against the costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred therein or thereby, (c) the Trustee for sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and/or security (including by way of prefunding), shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and (d) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

*Section 6.05 Proceedings by Trustee.* 

In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

*Section 6.06 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing.* 

All powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default or Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

*Section 6.07 Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders.* 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; *provided* that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action which is not inconsistent with such direction, (c) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would benefit some Holders to the detriment of other Holders and (d) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

*Section 6.08 Notice of Defaults.* 

The Trustee shall, within ninety (90) calendar days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of a default, mail to all Holders (or send by electronic transmission), as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Register, notice of all defaults notified to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; *provided* that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 3), or interest on any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee is aware of such Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in the absence of negligence and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) whether or not therein provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) or any records maintained by any co-registrar (other than the Trustee) with respect to the Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred unless the Trustee has otherwise received written notice thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder unless the Trustee shall have been notified in writing of such Event of Default by the Issuer or a Holder.

None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it believes that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01 hereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, Note, coupon or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent (including the Agents), custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officers' Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers' Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) any permissive right or authority granted to the Trustee shall not be construed as a mandatory duty; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss caused by any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by events beyond its reasonable control including any malfunction, interruption or error caused by any machine or systems or interruption of communication facilities, abnormal operating conditions or events of force majeure; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

*Section 7.03 No Responsibility for Recitals, etc.* 

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee's certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and the Agents and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and the Agents for their reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Notes and the Issuer upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes.

The obligation of the Issuer under this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and shall continue for the benefit of the Trustee or any Agent notwithstanding its resignation or retirement.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or agent by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Agent and one copy to the successor trustee or agent. If no successor trustee or agent shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) calendar days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee or Agent may, upon ten (10) Business Days' notice to the Issuer and the Holders, appoint a successor identified in such notice or may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or, if any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee or agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Holder; or

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

then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one (1) copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one (1) copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; *provided* that if no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) calendar days after either the Issuer or the Holders has removed the Trustee, or the Trustee resigns, the Trustee so removed may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer's exercise under Section 12.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 12.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) and 6.01(d) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

**[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]** 

**DIGITAL DUTCH FINCO B.V.** 

**€850,000,000 3.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2034** 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its €850,000,000 3.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2034 (herein called the "*Notes*"), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 25, 2025 (herein called the "*Indenture*"), among (*inter alios*) the Issuer, the Guarantors and Deutsche Trustee Company Limited, as trustee (herein called the "*Trustee*"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), 6.01(f) and 6.01(g) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the principal of and premium, if any and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes may be declared to be due and payable by either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and, upon said declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) of the Indenture occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Notes shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes, subject to exceptions set forth in Section 9.02 of the Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair, as among the Issuer and the Holder of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

The amount of interest payable in respect of this Note for any Interest Period shall be calculated by applying the interest rate to the principal amount of such Note and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). Where interest is to be calculated in respect of a period which is equal to or shorter than an Interest Period, the day-count fraction applied to calculate the amount of interest payable in respect of this Note shall follow actual/actual (ICMA) basis and shall be the number of days in the relevant period from (and including) the date from which interest begins to accrue to (but excluding) the date on which it falls due, divided by the number of days in the Interest Period in which the relevant period falls (including the first such day but excluding the last).

The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of €100,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Issuer referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Notes, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations.

------

The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes under certain circumstances as set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 of the Indenture.

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.

Except as expressly provided in Article 15 of the Indenture, no recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium, if any, or interest, if any, on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Guarantors, the Issuer or any of the Issuer's Subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Guarantors, the Issuer or any of the Issuer's subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of this Note.

**[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]** 

**DIGITAL DUTCH FINCO B.V.** 

**€850,000,000 3.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2034** 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its €850,000,000 3.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2034 (herein called the "*Notes*"), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 25, 2025 (herein called the "*Indenture*"), among (*inter alios*) the Issuer, the Guarantors and Deutsche Trustee Company Limited, as trustee (herein called the "*Trustee*"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), 6.01(f) and 6.01(g) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes may be declared to be due and payable by either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and, upon said declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) of the Indenture occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Notes shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes, subject to exceptions set forth in Section 9.02 of the Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair, as among the Issuer and the Holder of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

The amount of interest payable in respect of this Note for any Interest Period shall be calculated by applying the interest rate to the principal amount of such Note and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). Where interest is to be calculated in respect of a period which is equal to or shorter than an Interest Period, the day-count fraction applied to calculate the amount of interest payable in respect of this Note shall follow actual/actual (ICMA) basis and shall be the number of days in the relevant period from (and including) the date from which interest begins to accrue to (but excluding) the date on which it falls due, divided by the number of days in the Interest Period in which the relevant period falls (including the first such day but excluding the last).

The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of €100,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Issuer referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Notes, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations.

------

This Temporary Global Note is exchangeable in whole or in part for a Permanent Global Note only (i) on or after the termination of the Restricted Period (as defined in the Indenture) and (ii) upon presentation of certificates (accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, if applicable) required by Article 2 of the Indenture. Upon exchange of this Temporary Global Note for a Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel this Temporary Global Note.

The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes under certain circumstances as set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 of the Indenture.

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.

Except as expressly provided in Article 15 of the Indenture, no recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium, if any, or interest, if any, on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Guarantors, the Issuer or any of the Issuer's Subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Guarantors, the Issuer or any of the Issuer's subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of this Note.

with its terms, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Issuer, will instruct the ICSDs to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect the increased outstanding aggregate principal amount of the relevant Notes or additional series of Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. If any event occurs that requires a mark up or mark down of the records which an ICSD holds for its customers
to reflect such customers' interest in the Notes, the Paying Agent will (to the extent known to it) promptly provide details of the amount of such mark up or mark down, together with a description of the event that requires it, to the ICSDs
(through the CSP) to ensure that the records of the ICSDs reflecting the IOA of the Notes remain at all times accurate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The Paying Agent will at least once every month perform a reconciliation process with the ICSDs (through the
CSP) with respect to the IOA for the Notes and will promptly inform the ICSDs (through the CSP) of any discrepancies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. The Paying Agent will promptly assist the ICSDs (through the CSP) in resolving any discrepancy identified in
the records reflecting the IOA of the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The Paying Agent will promptly provide to the ICSDs (through the CSP) details of all amounts paid by it under
the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. The Paying Agent will (to the extent known to it) promptly provide to the ICSDs (through the CSP) notice of any
changes to the Notes that will affect the amount of, or date for, any payment due under the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. The Paying Agent will (to the extent known to it) promptly provide to the ICSDs (through the CSP) copies of all
information that is given to the holders of the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. The Paying Agent will promptly pass on to the Issuer all communications it receives from the ICSDs directly or
through the CSP relating to the Notes.
