         P(a) = (P+B)(L + M) - P

         Where:

                      P(a) =           Airframe Price Adjustment.

                      L  =  .65 x ( ECI
                                  -----
                                        ECI(b))  where ECI(b) is the base year
                                                 index (as set forth in Table 1
                                                 of this Purchase Agreement)

                      M  =  .35 x ( ICI
                                  -----
                                        ICI(b))  where ICI(b) is the base year
                                                 index (as set forth in Table 1
                                                 of this Purchase Agreement)

                      P  = Airframe Price plus Optional Features Price (as set
                           forth in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement).

                      B  = 0.005 x (N/12) x (P)    where N is the number of
                                                   calendar months which have
                                                   elapsed from the Airframe
                                                   Price Base Year and Month up
                                                   to and including the month of
                                                   delivery, both as shown in
                                                   Table 1 of the Purchase
                                                   Agreement. The entire
                                                   calculation of 0.005 X (N/12)
                                                   will be rounded to 4 places,
                                                   and the final value of B will
                                                   be rounded to the nearest
                                                   dollar.

                      ECI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of
                      Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Employment Cost Index
                      for workers in aircraft manufacturing - Wages and
                      Salaries" (ECI code 3721W), calculated by establishing a
                      three-month arithmetic average value (expressed as a
                      decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values
                      for the fifth, sixth and seventh months prior to the month
                      of scheduled delivery of the applicable Aircraft. As the
                      Employment Cost Index values are only released on a
                      quarterly basis, the value released for the month of March
                      will be used for the months of January and February; the
                      value for June used for April and May; the value for
                      September used for July and August; and the value for
                      December used for October and November.

                      ICI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of
                      Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Producer Prices and
                      Price Index - Industrial Commodities Index ", calculated
                      as a 3-month arithmetic average of the released monthly
                      values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest
                      tenth) using the values for the 5th, 6th and 7th months
                      prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable
                      Aircraft.

                      As an example, for an Aircraft scheduled to be delivered
                      in the month of January, the months June, July and August
                      of the preceding year will be utilized in determining the
                      value of ECI and ICI.

Note:        i. In determining the values of L and M, all calculations and
             resulting values will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the
             nearest ten-thousandth.

             ii. .65 is the numeric ratio attributed to labor in the Airframe
             Price Adjustment formula.

             iii. .35 is the numeric ratio attributed to materials in the
             Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

             iv. The denominators (base year indices) are the actual average
             values reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
             Statistics (base year June 1989 = 100). The applicable base year
             and corresponding denominator is provided by Boeing in Table 1 of
             this Purchase Agreement.

             v. The final value of P(a) will be rounded to the nearest dollar.

             vi. The Airframe Price Adjustment will not be made if it will
             result in a decrease in the Aircraft Basic Price.

2.       Values to be Utilized in the Event of Unavailability.

         2.1 If the Bureau of Labor Statistics substantially revises the
methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the
ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of
previously released values), or for any reason has not released values needed to
determine the applicable Airframe Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to
the delivery of any such Aircraft, select a substitute from other Bureau of
Labor Statistics data or similar data reported by non-governmental
organizations. Such substitute will result in the same adjustment, insofar as
possible, as would have been calculated utilizing the original values adjusted
for fluctuation during the applicable time period. However, if within 24 months
after delivery of the Aircraft, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume
releasing values for the months needed to determine the Airframe Price
Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in
the Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft from that determined at the time
of delivery of the Aircraft.

         2.2 Notwithstanding Article 2.1 above, if prior to the scheduled
delivery month of an Aircraft the Bureau of Labor Statistics changes the base
year for determination of the ECI and ICI values as defined above, such re-based
values will be incorporated in the Airframe Price Adjustment calculation.

         2.3 In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or
otherwise rendered void by any agency of the United States Government, the
parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the
Aircraft Price of any affected Aircraft to reflect an allowance for increases or
decreases in labor compensation and material costs occurring since February of
the price base year shown in the Purchase Agreement which is consistent with the
applicable provisions of paragraph 1 of this Supplemental Exhibit AE1.

         2.4 If within 12 months of Aircraft delivery, the published index
values are revised due to an acknowledged error by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the Airframe Price Adjustment will be re-calculated using the
revised index values (this does not include those values noted as preliminary by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics). A credit memorandum or supplemental invoice
will be issued for the Airframe Price Adjustment difference. Interest charges
will not apply for the period of original invoice to issuance of credit
memorandum or supplemental invoice.

Note:        i. The values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and
             available to Boeing 30 days prior to the first day of the scheduled
             delivery month of an Aircraft will be used to determine the ECI and
             ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted as
             preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the
             Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft invoice at the time of
             delivery. The values will be considered final and no Airframe Price
             Adjustments will

<PAGE>

             be made after Aircraft delivery for any subsequent changes in
             published Index values, subject always to paragraph 2.4 above.

             ii. The maximum number of digits to the right of the decimal after
             rounding utilized in any part of the Airframe Price Adjustment
             equation will be 4, where rounding of the fourth digit will be
             increased to the next highest digit when the 5th digit is equal to
             5 or greater.

           Supplemental Exhibit EE1 to Purchase Agreement Number 2399

                               ENGINE ESCALATION,
                      ENGINE WARRANTY AND PATENT INDEMNITY

                                   relating to

                         BOEING MODEL 777-206ER AIRCRAFT

1.       ENGINE ESCALATION.

(a) The Aircraft Basic Price of each Aircraft set forth in Table 1 of the
Purchase Agreement includes an aggregate price for engines and all accessories,
equipment and parts provided by General Electric Aircraft Engines (GE). The
adjustment in Engine Price applicable to each Aircraft (Engine Price Adjustment)
will be determined at the time of Aircraft delivery in accordance with the
following formula:

         P(e) = [(P(b) + F)  x ( CPI / CPI(b)_)] - P(b)

where CPI(b) is the Engine Escalation Base Year Index as set forth in Table 1 of
the Purchase Agreement.

(b)  The following definitions will apply herein:

         P(e) =     Engine Price Adjustment

             P(b) = Engine Price (per Aircraft), as set forth in Table 1 of the
                    Purchase Agreement.

             F    = 0.005 x (N/12) x P(b) where N is the number of calendar
                    months which have elapsed from the Engine Price Base Year
                    and Month up to and including the month of delivery, both
                    as shown in Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement.

<PAGE>

         CPI =    L + ICI  (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

             L    = A value determined using the U.S. Department of Labor,
                    Bureau of Labor Statistics "Employment Cost Index Wages and
                    Salaries for Aircraft Manufacturing (SIC 3721)", calculated
                    as a 3-month arithmetic average of the released values
                    (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth)
                    using the values for the 12th, 13th and 14th months prior to
                    the month of scheduled Aircraft delivery then multiplied by
                    65% and rounded to the nearest thousandth.

             ICI  = A value determined using the U.S. Department of Labor,
                    Bureau of Labor Statistics "Producer Prices and Price Index
                    - Industrial Commodities Index ", calculated as a 3-month
                    arithmetic average of the released monthly values (expressed
                    as a decimal and rounded to the nearest hundredth) using the
                    values for the 12th, 13th and 14th months prior to the month
                    of scheduled delivery of the Aircraft, then multiplied by
                    35% and rounded to the nearest thousandth.

The Engine Price Adjustment will not be made if it would result in a decrease in
the Engine Price.

(c) The values of the Employment Cost Index Wages & Salaries (SIC 3721) and
Producer Prices and Price Index - Industrial Commodities Index used will be
those published as of a date 30 days prior to the first day of the scheduled
Aircraft delivery month to Customer. As the Employment Cost Index Wages and
Salaries for Aircraft Manufacturing (SIC 3721) values are only released on a
quarterly basis, the value released for the month of March will be used for the
months of January and February; the value for June used for April and May; the
value for September used for July and August; and the value for December used
for October and November. Such values will be considered final and no Engine
Price Adjustment will be made after Aircraft delivery for any subsequent changes
in published index values. If no values have been released for an applicable
month, the provisions set forth in Paragraph e, below, will apply. If prior to
delivery of an Aircraft, the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics changes the base year for determination of the L or ICI values as
defined above, such rebase values will be incorporated in the Engine Price
Adjustment calculation.

(d) If at the time of delivery of an Aircraft, Boeing is unable to determine the
Engine Price Adjustment because the applicable values to be used to determine L
and ICI have not been released by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, then: In the event the Engine Price escalation provisions are made
non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of the United
States Government, GE agrees to meet jointly with Boeing and Customer (to the
extent such parties may lawfully do so) to adjust equitably the Aircraft Basic
Price of any affected Aircraft to reflect an allowance for increase or decrease
in labor compensation and material costs occurring since February of the base
price year which is consistent with the application provisions of this
Supplemental Exhibit EE1.

(e) If prior to delivery of an Aircraft, the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics substantially revises the methodology used for the
determination of the values to be used to determine the L and ICI values (in
contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously released
values), Customer, Boeing and GE will, prior to delivery of such Aircraft,
select a substitute for such values from data published by the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics or other similar data reported by
non-governmental United States organizations, such substitute to lead in
application to the same adjustment result insofar as possible, as would have
been achieved by continuing the use of the original values as they may have
fluctuated during the applicable time period. Appropriate revisions of the
formula will be made as required to reflect any substitute values. However, if
within 24 months from delivery of the Aircraft, the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the months needed
to determine the Engine Price Adjustment, such values will be used to determine
the increase or decrease in the Engine Price Adjustment determined at the time
of delivery of such Aircraft.

NOTE:    The factor (CPI divided by the base year index) by which the Engine
         Price is to be multiplied will be expressed as a decimal and rounded to
         the nearest thousandth. Any rounding of a number, as required under
         this Supplemental Exhibit EE1 with respect to escalation of the Engine
         Price, will be accomplished as follows: if the first digit of the
         portion to be dropped from the number to be rounded is five or greater,
         the preceding digit will be raised to the next higher number.

2.       ENGINE WARRANTY AND PRODUCT SUPPORT PLAN.

Boeing has obtained from GE the right to extend to Customer the provisions of
GE's warranty and product support plan (Warranty and Product Support Plan);

                                          TREATMENT]
------------------------------------------------------------------------

These Mechanical Schedule Reliability Targets are based on an average flight
length of [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT] per Scheduled Revenue Departure for Covered Aircraft in revenue
service operations. The Mechanical Schedule Reliability Targets are subject to
change based on changes in the Customer's actual Average Flight Length and other
factors under Customer's control.

3.       Remedial Action.

         3.1 Following the first four months of Scheduled Revenue Departures,
for any Analysis Period during which Customer has greater than six (6) Covered
Aircraft in revenue service, if Customer notifies Boeing that the Achieved
Mechanical Schedule Reliability for the Analysis Period is more than
[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] below the
Mechanical Schedule Reliability Target (Agreed Threshold Value) for such
Analysis Period, Boeing will for the Aircraft:

                  3.1.1 Investigate the circumstances and possible causes for an
Achieved Mechanical Schedule Reliability lower than the Agreed Threshold Value;

<PAGE>

                  3.1.2 Provide technical assistance to Customer in the form of
analysis and recommendations of a kind and nature which Boeing determines to be
best suited for improving the Achieved Mechanical Schedule Reliability;

                  3.1.3 Initiate a design review of the system, accessory,
equipment or part (other than engines and engine parts) which are determined by
Boeing to be the primary cause of an Achieved Mechanical Schedule Reliability
lower than the Agreed Threshold Value;

                  3.1.4 When in Boeing's judgment a redesign or modification is
indicated as a technically and economically practical means of improving the
Achieved Mechanical Schedule Reliability, redesign or cause the redesign of such
system, accessory, equipment or part; or offer such modification,

                  3.1.5 If such redesign or modification results in retrofit
kits being offered by Boeing or Boeing's suppliers, provide such kits or cause
such kits to be provided, at Customer's request, at no charge to Customer and
reimburse Customer's reasonable direct labor costs for incorporation of any such
kit manufactured to Boeing's detailed design. This offer will be valid for any
redesign or modification addressing improved reliability of the system,
accessory, equipment or part being identified as the main cause of Mechanical
Schedule Reliability below the Agreed Threshold Value that becomes available
within 5 years after Customer having made its notification in accordance with
above terms. The Covered Aircraft must still be experiencing Mechanical Schedule
Reliability below the Agreed Threshold Value at the time the retrofit kits
become available in order to qualify for the free retrofit kits.

Such reimbursement will be provided pursuant to Boeing Warranty (Article 11 of
Part 2 of Exhibit C, Product Assurance Document, of the AGTA); and

                  3.1.6 If Boeing determines that the design of engines or
engine parts is the primary cause of an Achieved Mechanical Schedule Reliability
lower than the Agreed Threshold Value, Boeing will, if requested by Customer,
take whatever reasonable action is permitted under Boeing's contracts with the
engine manufacturer in an effort to obtain correction of such design. This offer
will be valid for any redesign or modification addressing improved reliability
of the system, accessory, equipment or part being identified as the main cause
of the low Mechanical Schedule Reliability, and that comes available within five
years after Customer having made its notification in accordance with the above
terms.

4.       Interruption Exclusions.

An Interruption does not include any cancellation, turn-back, diverted landing
or delayed departure of any scheduled revenue flight of any Covered Aircraft
which is caused by any of the following events:

             (i)   Late arrival of an inbound flight;

             (ii)  Late return from out-of-service status;

             (iii) Operation, service, maintenance or overhaul of such Covered
Aircraft or any system, accessory, equipment or part (including engines)
installed thereon, in a manner other than in accordance with Customer's approved
instructions and requirements;

             (iv) Logistics problems such as lack of spare parts at stations
where spares could reasonably be expected to be available, as determined in
accordance with industry standard provisioning practices, or inordinate delays
in the availability of spares, unless such delays are caused by Boeing or other
appropriately trained personnel at any location where any maintenance of the
Covered Aircraft is performed;

             (v)  A malfunction caused by any extrinsic force such as foreign
object damage;

             (vi) Failure to utilize the FAA approved minimum equipment list
(MEL) to defer corrective maintenance, or failure to correct any deferred item
within the time period specified in such MEL;

             (vii) Buyer Furnished Equipment;

             (viii) Tires;

             (ix) Normal brake wear;

<PAGE>

             (x) Acts or omissions of Customer or any strikes or labor troubles
causing cessation, slowdown or interruption of work related to the operation or
maintenance of the Covered Aircraft; or

             (xi) Any other cancellation, turn-back, diverted landing or delayed
departure which cannot fairly be attributed to mechanical malfunction of the
Covered Aircraft, or any system, accessory, equipment or part (including
engines) installed on the Covered Aircraft.

             If a Covered Aircraft is used as a substitute for some other
aircraft or some other aircraft is used as a substitute for a Covered Aircraft
and the revenue flight affected by such substitution departs without a
cancellation, turn-back, diverted landing or delay greater than [CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT], then no Chargeable
Schedule Interruption will be deemed to have occurred. If an Interruption occurs
as a result of a malfunction of the substitute aircraft/Covered Aircraft, such
Interruption will be charged against the aircraft/Covered Aircraft initially
scheduled for the flight rather than its substitute. An Interruption, which
affects a subsequent segment or flight for a Covered Aircraft, will count as
only one Interruption unless such Interruption is separate from and unrelated to
the initial Interruption.

5.        Administrative Requirements.

         5.1 Customer will provide status reports every month (Reporting
Period).

         5.2 The Customer's status reports shall include the data required to
calculate the Achieved Mechanical Schedule Reliability for each month of the
Reporting Period using the formulas described in Section 1.0, above, and a list
of the Chargeable Schedule Interruptions for the Reporting Period. Customer
shall submit such data to Boeing electronically in accordance with the
provisions of Boeing Document D6-81692.

         All data submitted pursuant to Subsection 5.2 will be addressed to the
attention of:

         MANAGER - IN-SERVICE DATA GROUP
         Boeing Commercial Airplanes
         P.0. Box 3707
         Seattle, Washington 98124-2207

         5.3 Customer claim reports will include the data described in
Subsection 5.2 above and sufficient data to substantiate any claimed Chargeable
Schedule Interruption. Customer will submit to Boeing reasonable proof that any
claimed Chargeable Schedule Interruption does in fact constitute a Chargeable
Schedule Interruption. In addition, Customer will maintain and submit to Boeing
such data as may reasonably be required to:

             (i) determine Achieved Mechanical Schedule Reliability,

             (ii) analyze the problems causing any claimed Chargeable Schedule
             Interruption, and

             (iii) when required, develop appropriate remedial action.

         5.4 Failure to file the status reports or provide the information as
specified in Subsections 5.1 through 5.3, above, will constitute an
acknowledgment by Customer that the Achieved Mechanical Schedule Reliability is
equal to or greater than the Agreed Threshold Value for such Analysis Period,
and Boeing will not be obligated to provide any of the remedies arising under
this Program for such Analysis Period.

         5.5 All reports submitted to Boeing will be addressed to the attention
of:

                         Director - Warranty & Supplier Product Support
                         Boeing Commercial Airplanes
                         P.0. Box 3707
                         Seattle, Washington 98124-2207

6.       Conditions and Limitations.

         6.1 If, to improve schedule reliability, Boeing or any Boeing supplier
issues service bulletins, service letters or other written instructions
(Instructions) or offers no-charge retrofit kits, Customer will accomplish such
Instructions or install such kits within a period of [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] after availability of such
Instructions or kits at Customer's

<PAGE>

facility or such longer period as may be established by mutual agreement of the
parties. If Customer does not accomplish the Instructions or install the kits
within such time period, Chargeable Schedule Interruptions relating to the
systems, accessories, equipment or parts affected by such Instructions or kits
will be excluded from this Program from the date the Instructions or kits were
available at Customer's facility until such time as Customer notifies Boeing
that Customer has incorporated such Instructions or kits on all affected Covered
Aircraft.

         6.2 Boeing may inspect at all reasonable times Customer's maintenance
facilities and review its relevant maintenance programs and procedures. If
Boeing recommends in writing reasonable changes in Customer's maintenance
programs and procedures which would improve the Achieved Mechanical Schedule
Reliability and Customer does not effect such changes within [CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] after receiving
such written recommendations or such longer period as may be established by
mutual agreement of the parties, Boeing will have the right to redefine the
Chargeable Schedule Interruptions after the date Customer received such written
recommendations so as to eliminate interruptions which Boeing estimates result
from Customer's failure to effect the recommended changes within such time
period.

         6.3 If, for any Analysis Period, the actual Average Flight Length or
other factors affecting schedule reliability of the Covered Aircraft change
significantly, the Mechanical Schedule Reliability Target for such Analysis
Period will be appropriately adjusted by the parties.

         6.4 At Boeing's request, Customer will assign to Boeing any of
Customer's rights against any manufacturer of any system, equipment, accessory
or part installed in the Covered Aircraft as Boeing may reasonably require to
fulfill its obligations with respect to any remedy provided by Boeing hereunder.

         6.5 THE DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE and EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND OTHER
DAMAGES provisions stated in Article 11 of Exhibit C of the AGTA apply to this
Program.

7.       Confidential Treatment.

         Customer understands that certain commercial and financial information
contained in this Letter Agreement are considered by Boeing as confidential.
Customer agrees that it will treat this Letter Agreement and the information
contained herein as confidential and will not, without the prior written consent
of Boeing, disclose this Letter Agreement or any information contained herein to
any other person or entity.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth your understanding of our agreement with
respect to the matters treated above, please indicate your acceptance and
approval below.

Provisioning Meeting will be agreed upon between the parties. However, Boeing
and Customer will use their best efforts to convene such meeting within 30 days
after execution of the Purchase Agreement.

3.       Initial Provisioning Documentation.

         3.1 Provisioning Data. Boeing will furnish Provisioning Data to
Customer on or about ninety (90) days after Aircraft implementation which is
approximately 12 months before delivery (Aircraft implementation is the date
engineering begins the detailed engineering designs and major suppliers start
locking in body requirements.) The Provisioning Data will be as complete as
possible and will cover Provisioning Items selected by Boeing for review by
Customer for initial provisioning for the Aircraft. The Provisioning Data will
set forth the prices for Provisioning Items which are Boeing Spare Parts and
such prices will be firm and remain in effect until the date or dates set forth
below in Paragraph 4.1, Boeing Spare Parts, by which orders must be placed with
Boeing. Boeing will, from time to time, until a date approximately 90 days
following delivery of the last Aircraft or until the delivery configuration of
each of the Aircraft is reflected in the Provisioning Data, whichever is later,
furnish to Customer revisions to the Provisioning Data.

         3.2 Provisioning IPC. Boeing will, on or about ninety (90) days after
Aircraft implementation which is approximately 12 months before delivery,
furnish to Customer a Boeing Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC), hereinafter
referred to as the "Provisioning IPC". The Provisioning IPC will be as complete
as possible and will cover Provisioning Items selected by Boeing for review by
Customer for initial provisioning for the Aircraft. Boeing will, from time to
time, until a date approximately 90 days following delivery of the last
Aircraft, or until the delivery configuration of each of the Aircraft is
reflected in the Provisioning IPC, whichever is later, furnish to Customer
revisions to the Provisioning IPC.

         3.3             Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) Provisioning Data.

Attachment A

            Determination of Fleet Average Fuel Mileage Deterioration

For purposes of this Letter Agreement, the "Fleet Average Fuel Mileage
Deterioration" is the average cruise fuel mileage deterioration of the
Performance Retention Covered Aircraft. The determination of the Fleet Average
Fuel Burn Deterioration will be based on fuel mileage deterioration of
individual Performance Retention Covered Aircraft relative to their Baseline
Performance Level cruise fuel mileage performance as defined below.

1. Boeing will provide Customer with the Boeing Airplane Performance Monitoring
Program (APM) for data analysis. For purposes of this Letter Agreement, the
Model Reference Level cruise fuel mileage performance for the Performance
Retention Covered Aircraft shall be as set forth in the APM.

2. During the first thirty (30) days after each Performance Retention Covered
Aircraft begins revenue service (Initial Monitoring Period), Customer shall
acquire cruise fuel mileage data using the methodology described in Attachment
B. Customer will establish the average cruise fuel mileage level relative to the
Model Reference Level (Baseline Performance Level) for each Performance
Retention Covered Aircraft. The data sample for the Initial Monitoring Period
shall be comprised of [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT] to assure that a representative level of fuel mileage is established.

3. During each of the [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT] following completion of the Initial Monitoring Period (Subsequent
Monitoring Periods), Customer will continue to monitor the cruise fuel mileage
of the Aircraft using the methodology described in Attachment B. During the
Subsequent Monitoring Periods, one (1) Data Event should be recorded on each
flight when it is practicable to do so. The monthly sample for each Performance
Retention Covered Aircraft must include valid data for at least [CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] For the purposes of
this Letter Agreement, the "Current Performance Level" is defined as the average
of the cruise fuel mileage data relative to the Model Reference Level acquired
during the Subsequent Monitoring Period for each Performance Retention Covered
Aircraft. In the event insufficient data is available for a given month, the
Current Performance Level for such month shall be assumed the same as the
previous month.

4. The "Current Deterioration" (expressed as a percentage) for each Performance
Retention Covered Aircraft is the difference between the Current Performance
Level and the Baseline Performance Level.

5. The "Fleet Average Fuel Mileage Deterioration" (expressed as a percentage)
will be determined for each Subsequent Monitoring Period by summing the Current
Deterioration values as determined in Paragraph 4 above for each Performance
Retention Covered Aircraft in that calendar month and dividing by the number of
Performance Retention Covered Aircraft that comprised the sample.

<PAGE>

6. Customer will report the results of this analysis for the immediately
preceding calendar quarter to Boeing within 20 days of the end of each calendar
quarter following the date each Performance Retention Covered Aircraft is
delivered.

                  Cruise Fuel Mileage Performance Determination

Cruise performance data shall be obtained by using the Airplane Condition
Monitoring System (ACMS).

                  This data will be recorded during level flight cruise in
                  steady state conditions. The following data will be obtained
                  during each such data recording:

                  Initial C.G.
                  Initial Takeoff Gross Weight

Subject:           Configuration Matters

Reference:         Purchase Agreement No. 2399 (the Purchase Agreement) between
                   The Boeing Company (Boeing) and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
                   (Customer) relating to Model 777-206ER aircraft (the
                   Aircraft)

This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) amends and supplements the Purchase
Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same
meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

1.  Development Changes. Boeing recognizes Customer's wish to receive early
notification of Development Changes (PRRs) applicable to its Aircraft to
evaluate the effect on maintenance and operation in a timely manner. In addition
to the notices required by Sections 4.1 and 4.3 of the AGTA, Boeing will furnish
Customer written notice of PRRs within [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] after Boeing's commitment to incorporate them into
production. Notice will include: description of change, list of applicable
aircraft effectivities and, if appropriate, graphics. If Customer provides
Boeing written notification within [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of receipt of a PRR notice that Customer does not want
the PRR, Boeing will investigate reversal of the PRR either by proposing a
priced master change for Customer's consideration or by deleting Customer's
Aircraft effectivity from the PRR at no charge. There can be no reversal for
PRRs that: (1) are reasonably required for Boeing to maintain efficient
production of all aircraft of that model type, (ii) would result in the loss of
any common type rating, (iii) are required to replace obsolete parts or (iv) are
imposed by either the Manufacturer's or Customer's respective regulatory agency
to be incorporated prior to delivery of the Aircraft.

2.  [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

3.  180 Minutes ETOPS. The 777 will be delivered with type design approval for
180 minute ETOPS.

4.           JAA Changes.

             4.1  JAA Type Certification. The Boeing model 777 has already
                  obtained its JAA Type Certification.

<PAGE>

             4.2  JAA Manufacturing Changes. A JAA Manufacturing Change is
defined as any change to an aircraft, data relating to an aircraft, or testing
of an aircraft required by the JAA to obtain an Export Certificate of
Airworthiness. Boeing agrees to incorporate into Customer's Aircraft all JAA
Manufacturer Changes required to be incorporated into the Aircraft by the JAA at
the time of Aircraft delivery. Customer will pay Boeing's charge for
incorporating all JAA Manufacturer Changes When a manufacturing change is both a
JAA Manufacturer Change and a FAA Manufacturer Change the provisions of Article
3.2.2 and 3.2.3 of the AGTA will take precedence. At the present time there are
no known JAA Manufacturer Changes that will impact the price of the Aircraft;
nor based, on our experience to date, does Boeing forsee any future divergency.

             4.3 JAR OPS 1 (JAR OPS Operator Changes). Boeing will deliver each
Aircraft with JAR OPS Operator Changes incorporated or, at Boeing's option, with
suitable provisions for the incorporation of such JAR OPS Operator Changes, and
Customer will pay Boeing's applicable charges.

5.  Assignment. The concessions described above are provided as a financial
accommodation to Customer in consideration of Customer's becoming the operator
of the Boeing aircraft, and cannot be assigned, in whole or in part, without the
prior written consent of The Boeing Company.

6.  Confidential Treatment. Customer and Boeing understand that certain
commercial and financial information contained in this Letter Agreement is
considered by Boeing and Customer as confidential. Customer and Boeing agree
that they will treat this Letter Agreement and the information contained herein
as confidential and will not, without the prior written consent of Boeing and
Customer, disclose this Letter Agreement or any information contained herein to
any other person or entity.

2.  Delivery Discussions. Delivery discussions will address conditions with the

to address options not completed during production.

3.  CAA-NL Validation. To export the Aircraft into The Netherlands Boeing must

4.  In addition to the the delivery notice provided under the AGTA , Boeing will
provide KLM with a preliminary delivery date [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A

9.  Special Aircraft Test Requirements. Notwithstanding the language in Article

Certification or Certificate of Airworthiness for aircraft. In addition Boeing
will also obtain consent from Customer prior to such testing, if the testing is
not for a Customer's Aircraft.

Upon any application or request by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under any
provision of this Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as may be required hereunder or under the Trust Indenture Act. Each such certificate or opinion shall be given in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate, if to be given by an officer of the Company or the Guarantor, or an Opinion of Counsel, if to be given by counsel, and shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirements set forth in
this Indenture. 
 
Every

SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 
 
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an
opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company or the Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as
it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company or the Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company or
the Guarantor, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents,
certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 
SECTION 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 
 
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted
by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company and the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 
The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or
writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date
of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 
The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

Any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 
The Company or the Guarantor may set any day as a record date
for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the Company or the Guarantor may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to
take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company or the Guarantor from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously
been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action
taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company or the Guarantor, at its own expense,
shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

 
The Trustee may set any day as a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective
hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from
setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and
nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Guarantor’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company and the Guarantor in writing and to each
Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
 
With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the
Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of 

 

10 

the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in
the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to
have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. 
 
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to
take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with
regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 
 
SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company and Guarantor. 
 
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

 
(1) the Trustee by any Holder
or by the Company or the Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Global Trust Services, with a copy in every case to:
The Bank of New York, Singapore, Attention: Global Trust Services, Fax: (65) 6883 0338, Tel: (65) 6432 0332, or 
 
(2) the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Guarantor addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in
writing to the Trustee. 
 
SECTION
106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 
 
Where this
Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address
as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to
mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 
In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the
approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 

11 

 
SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 
If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under the Trust Indenture Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any
provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

 
SECTION 108. Effect of Headings
and Table of Contents. 
 
The Article and Section
headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 
SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns. 
 
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company or the Guarantor shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 
SECTION 110. Separability Clause. 
 
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities or any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. 
 
SECTION 111.
Benefits of Indenture. 
 
Nothing in this
Indenture or in the Securities or any Guarantee, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture. 
 
SECTION 112.
Governing Law. 
 
This Indenture, the Securities
and the Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York in the United States, but without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 
 
SECTION 113. Submission to Jurisdiction;
Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. 
 
Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby appoints Corporation Service Company, acting through its office at 1177 Avenue of the Americas, 17th Floor New York, New York in the United States as its authorized agent (the
“Authorized Agent”) upon which process may be served in any legal action or proceeding against it with respect to its obligations under this Indenture, the Securities of any series or any Guarantee, as the case may be, instituted in any
United States federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York by the Holder of any Security and agrees that service of process upon such Authorized Agent, together with written notice of said service to the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, by the person serving the same addressed as provided in Section 105, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, in any such legal action or
proceeding, and each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such legal action or proceeding, and 

 

12 

waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding. Such appointment shall be irrevocable
until all amounts in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest due and to become due on or in respect of all the Securities issued under this Indenture have been paid by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Trustee
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Securities and the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantor reserve the right to appoint another person located or with an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
selected in its discretion, as a successor Authorized Agent, and upon acceptance of such appointment by such a successor the appointment of the prior Authorized Agent shall terminate. If for any reason Corporation Service Company ceases to be able
to act as the Authorized Agent or to have an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the Company and the Guarantor will appoint a successor Authorized Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence. Each of the Company and the
Guarantor further agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect until this Indenture has been
satisfied and discharged in accordance with Article Four or Article Thirteen hereof. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent addressed to it at the address set forth above, as such address may be changed within the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York by notice given by the Authorized Agent to the Trustee, together with written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process on the Company
and the Guarantor, respectively. 
 
SECTION 114. Legal Holidays. 
 
In
any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a
provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest with respect to such payment shall accrue for the
period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, and provided further that, in the event such payment is on an instrument bearing interest at a floating rate, and such payment on the
next succeeding Business Day would occur in the next calendar month, then such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day in the same amount and with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or
at the Stated Maturity.

                     Dollars on
                     [if the Security is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert —, and to pay interest thereon from
             or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on
             and              in each year, commencing
            , at the rate of         % per annum, to, but excluding, the date that the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment [if applicable, insert — , provided that any principal and premium, and any such instalment of interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of     % per annum (to the extent
that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due to, but excluding, the date that they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand]. The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the              or              (whether or not a
Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the
Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to
Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series
may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture]. 
 
[If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—The principal of this Security shall not bear
interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium shall bear interest at the rate of
    % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due to, but excluding, the date that they are paid or made available for payment. Interest on
any overdue principal or premium shall be payable on demand. [Any such interest on overdue principal or premium which is not paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of     % per annum (to the extent that the
payment of such interest on interest shall be legally 

 

15 

enforceable), from the date of such demand to, but excluding, the date that the amount so demanded is paid or made available for payment.
Interest on any overdue interest shall be payable on demand.] 
 
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and [if applicable, insert—any such] interest on this Security will be made by check at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in             , in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts [if
applicable, insert—; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
Register], provided that if a Holder of more than $1.0 million in principal amount of Securities has given wire transfer instructions to the Guarantor at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, the
Company shall pay all principal and any premium and interest on that Holder’s Securities in accordance with those instructions [if applicable, insert — ; provided, however, that so long as this Security is
registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made by the Company in immediately available funds]. 
 
All payments of, or in respect of, principal of and any
premium and interest on this Security, shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Australia
or of the applicable jurisdiction of any successor Person pursuant to Article Eight of the Indenture, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges are required by
Australia or such other jurisdiction or any such subdivision or authority to be withheld or deducted. In that event, the Company will pay such Additional Amounts (as described in Section 1007 of the Indenture) as will result (after deduction of such
taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges payable in respect of such payment) in the payment to the Holder of this Security of the amounts which would have been payable
in respect of this Security had no such withholding or deduction been required, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in Article Ten of the Indenture. 
 
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

for any purpose.

than through [if applicable, insert—mandatory] sinking fund payments may be credited against subsequent [if applicable, insert—mandatory] sinking fund payments otherwise required to be made
[if applicable, insert—, in the inverse order in which they become due].] 
  
 [If the Security is subject to redemption of any kind, insert—In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security
or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.] 
  

 18 

 
[If
applicable, insert—The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the series of which this Security is a part or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security,
in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.] 
 
[If the Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert—If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of
the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.] 
 
[If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert—If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of
this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Such amount shall be equal to—insert formula for
determining the amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal, premium and interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.] 
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the
Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor, or both, with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the
right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture (including the Guarantee) or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice
of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this
series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to
any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed. 
 

19 

 
As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any
place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder
hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees. 
 
The Securities of this series are
issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $             and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 
No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor, or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 
This Security and the Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York in the United
States, but without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 
 
All terms used in this Security and [if applicable, insert—the notation of] the Guarantee set forth below which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.

deduction been required, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in Article Ten of the Indenture.

may determine at the time of their issue; and

	SECTION	 	303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

 
The Securities and any Guarantee to be endorsed on the Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Director or Authorized
Officer and on behalf of the Guarantor by any Authorized Officer, as the case may be. The signature of any of these directors and officers on the Securities and any Guarantee, as the case may be, may be manual or facsimile. If Article Fourteen is
specified, as 

 

25 

contemplated by Section 301, to be applicable to the Securities of any series, then the notation of the Guarantee endorsed on the Securities
of such series shall be executed as provided in Section 1402. 
 
Securities or any Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper directors and officers of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall bind the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or Guarantee or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities
or the Guarantee. 
 
At any time and from time to
time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company bearing the notation of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen or having Guarantees endorsed thereon, as
applicable, in each case executed by the Guarantor, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and
deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series or any Guarantee endorsed thereon have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating, 
 
(1) if the form of
such Securities or Guarantees has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 
(2) if the terms of such Securities or
Guarantees have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 
(3) that such Securities and the Guarantee(s)
thereof, when such Securities have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company and the Guarantor in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 
If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
 
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 

26 

 
No Security or
Guarantee shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by
manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security or Guarantee has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security and
any Guarantee shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture (including, if applicable, the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen). 
 
The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute delivery of the Guarantee endorsed or noted thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor by its execution of this Indenture hereby authorizes the Company, in the name and on behalf of the
Guarantor, to confirm the applicable Guarantee to the Holder of each Security authenticated and delivered hereunder by its execution and delivery of each such Security, with such Guarantee noted or endorsed thereon, authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee. When delivered pursuant to the provisions of Section 303 hereof, only Guarantees endorsed or noted on the Securities shall bind the Guarantor notwithstanding the fact that the Guarantee does not bear the signature of the Guarantor.

 
SECTION 304. Temporary
Securities. 
 
Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute (and the Guarantor may execute, as applicable, the notation of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee endorsed on) and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued
and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities or Guarantees or notations of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen, as applicable. 
 
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such
series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of
any series, the Company shall execute and the Guarantor shall execute, as applicable, the notation of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee endorsed on, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, one
or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. 
 
SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
 
The Company shall cause to be kept at a Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in
any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for
the registration of Securities 

 

27 

and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
 
Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute (and the Guarantor shall execute, as applicable, the notation of the Guarantee
pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee endorsed on), and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and
of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and with the notation of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee endorsed thereon. 
 
At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and with the notation of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee endorsed thereon, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever
any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and the Guarantor shall execute the notation of the Guarantee on, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. 
 
All Securities issued upon
any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities and the Guarantee shall be the valid obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange and the Guarantee thereof. 
 
Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107
not involving any transfer. 
 
If the Securities of
any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may
be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of
such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 
The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall
apply only to Global Securities: 
 
(1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian
therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 

28 

 
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of
any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company or the Guarantor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has
ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to the
foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. 
 
(3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part,
and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 
 
(4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such
Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
 
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to
form with the express requirements hereof. 
 
Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
 

	SECTION	 	306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

 
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Guarantor shall execute, as applicable, the
notation of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee endorsed on, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, having the notation
of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee endorsed thereon and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 
If there shall be delivered to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any of their agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Guarantor shall execute the notation of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee endorsed on, and, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and 
 

29 

principal amount, having the notation of the Guarantee endorsed pursuant to Article Fourteen or the Guarantee thereon and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 
In case any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company or the Guarantor in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith. 
 
Every new Security of any
series issued pursuant to this Section in exchange for any mutilated Security or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security and the Guarantee thereof shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and the
Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities and Guarantees of
that series duly issued hereunder. 
 
The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 
SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved. 
 
Except as otherwise provided
as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 
Any interest on any Security of any series 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 on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company or the Guarantor, at
its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
 
(1) The Company or the Guarantor may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company or the Guarantor shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Interest as 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 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment and not less than 10 

 

30 

 
days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Guarantor of such Special
Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set
forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record 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 Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 
  
 (2) The Company or the Guarantor may make payment of any
Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if,
after notice given by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
  
 SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Security
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Registrar may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

	SECTION	 	309. Cancellation. 

  
 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder
which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order, provided, that in no event shall the Trustee be required to destroy any cancelled Securities. 

 

 31 

 

	SECTION	 	310. Computation of Interest. 

 
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 

	SECTION	 	311. Cusip Numbers. 

 
The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use
“CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that the Trustee shall assume no responsibility for the accuracy of such numbers and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 
ARTICLE FOUR 
 
Satisfaction and Discharge 
 

	SECTION	 	401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

 
This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for, and any rights to receive Additional Amounts), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company and the
Guarantor acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 
 
(1) either 
 
(A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii)
Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company or the Guarantor and thereafter repaid to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or discharged from such trust, as
provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 
(B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 
 
(i) have become due and payable, or

 
(ii) will become due and
payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 
 
(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 

	    	 	 and the Company or the Guarantor, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
trust for the purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date 

 

32 

of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may
be; 
 
(2) the Company or the
Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
 
(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
 
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor to the Trustee under
Section 607, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section
402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive. 
 
SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money. 
 
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions
of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal
and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 
 
ARTICLE FIVE 
 
Remedies 
 
SECTION 501. Events of Default. 
 
“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be
effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 
 
(1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes
due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 
 
(2) default in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security of that series at its Maturity; or 
 
(3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a
Security of that series and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 
 
(4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company or the Guarantor in this Indenture
(other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than

 

33 

such series), the Securities of that series or, as the case may require, the Guarantee, and continuance of such default or breach for a
period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company and the Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 
 
(5) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money
borrowed by the Company or the Guarantor (including a default with respect to Securities of any series other than that series) having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least the Dollar Equivalent of $25 million, or under any mortgage,
indenture or instrument (including this Indenture) under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or the Guarantor having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of
at least the Dollar Equivalent of $25 million, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would
otherwise have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the
Company and the Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled, as the case may be, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;
provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Sections 601 and 602, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such default
or (B) the Trustee shall have received written notice of such default from the Company, from the Guarantor, from any Holder, from the holder of any such indebtedness or from the trustee under any such mortgage, indenture or other instrument; or

 
(6) (a)(i) a court of competent
jurisdiction makes an order at the request or upon the application of any person for the winding up of the Company or the Guarantor, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction at the request or upon the application of any person or any persons (each an
“Encumbrancer”) holding the benefit of any encumbrance appoints a receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, provisional liquidator, administrator, custodian, bankruptcy trustee or similar officer (each an “External
Administrator”) to the Company or the Guarantor, and the External Administrator is entitled to take control or possession of the whole or substantially the whole of the assets of the Company or the Guarantor, or (iii) any Encumbrancer enters
into possession of the whole or substantially the whole of the assets of the Company or the Guarantor, and (b) the order, appointment or entry is not removed, discharged, set aside, overturned, permanently stayed, terminated or withdrawn within 60
days of the order, appointment or entry, provided, however, that this Section 501(6) shall not apply to such an order or application for the purposes of a reconstruction, amalgamation or reorganization where the Company or the Guarantor, as
the case may be, is solvent. In this Section, “court of competent jurisdiction” means a court of competent jurisdiction of any Australian jurisdiction or of the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Guarantor or the Company (as
applicable) is incorporated or registered or taken to be incorporated or registered or in which a material part of the assets of the Guarantor or Company (as applicable) is located; or 
 

34 

 
(7) the Company or the Guarantor consents to the order, appointment or entry referred to in Section 501(6) above; or 
 
(8) the Company or the Guarantor (a) passes an effective resolution for its winding up; (b) commences any legal proceeding
or similar action or applies for its winding up; or (c) appoints or applies to any court for the appointment of any External Administrator in respect of it, other than, in the case of (a), (b) or (c), for the purposes of a reconstruction,
amalgamation or reorganization where it is solvent; or 
 
(9) the Company or the Guarantor (a) stops payment of its debts generally; or (b) enters into any compromise, arrangement or composition or assignment for the benefit of its creditors generally (including its entry into a
debt moratorium with its creditors generally), except, in the case of either (a) or (b), for the purposes or as a result of any solvent reconstruction, amalgamation or reorganization where it is not the surviving entity but the surviving entity has
assumed the payment of the Guarantor’s or Company’s (as applicable) debts; or 
 
(10) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 
 
SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity;
Rescission and Annulment. 
 
If an Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6), 501(7) or 501(8)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount
of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or
specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6), 501(7), or 501(8) with respect to the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities
of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other
action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 
 
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee
as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if 
 
(1) the Company
or the Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 
(A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series, 
 
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 
 

35 

 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest
at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
  
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; 
  
 and 
  
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that
series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 
  
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
  
 SECTION 503. Collection of
Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
  
 The
Company and the Guarantor covenant that if 
  
 (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
  
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity
thereof, 
  
 the Company and the Guarantor will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay
to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest (and any Additional Amounts) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest (and any overdue Additional Amounts), at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  
 If the Company and the Guarantors fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company and the Guarantors or any other
obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company and the Guarantors or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
  

 36 

 
SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 
In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder 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 the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 
 
No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of and pursuant to the written direction of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 
 
SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims
Without Possession of Securities. 
 
All rights of
action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities or the Guarantee may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
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 of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 
SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. 
 
Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest (or any Additional Amounts), upon presentation of the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which
such money has been collected and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 
First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; 
 
Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on
the Securities (and any Additional Amounts in respect thereof) in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such
Securities for principal and any premium and interest (and any Additional Amounts), respectively; and 
 
Third: The balance, if any, to the Company. 
 

37 

 
SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. 
 
No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless 
 
(1) such Holder has
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 
 
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
 
it being understood and intended that (subject to Section 508) no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and
ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 
 
SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security (and any Additional Amounts) pursuant to the terms thereof or the Guarantee thereof on the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 

	SECTION	 	509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

38 

 
SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or
to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 
SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

 
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 
SECTION 512. Control by Holders. 
 
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the
Securities of such series, provided that 
 
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 
 
(2) such direction shall not be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction, or 
 
(3) the Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 
SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 
The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default
hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 
 
(1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series (or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof), or 
 
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured,
for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 

39 

 
SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs. 
 
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file
an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be
deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any Holder or group of Holders holding in aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Outstanding Security of any series on or after the due date
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 
 
SECTION 515. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
 
Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not
at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and each of the Company and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not 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. 
 
ARTICLE SIX 
 
THE TRUSTEE 
 
SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
 
(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 
 
(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture, against the Trustee; and 
 
(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by
any provision 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 (but need not confirm or investigate
the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein); 
 

40 

 
(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 their exercise, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
 
(c) 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: 
 
(1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 
 
(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall
be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 
(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the

the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and 
 
(4) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any

liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, from the Guarantor or any other obligor on such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities; 
 

42 

 
(10) 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, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and 
 
(11) the Trustee may request that the Company 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. 
 
SECTION 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
 
The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company or the Guarantor, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or the Guarantees. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company or the Guarantor of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 
SECTION 605. May Hold Securities.

 
The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any
Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company
and the Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 
SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust. 
 
Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be. 
 
SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

 
The Company agrees 
 
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time
such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in such amounts as shall have been agreed upon in writing by the Company and the Trustee from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; 
 

43 

 
(3) to indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon or measured by or

itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantor, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the
provisions of this Section, except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to its own negligence or bad faith; 
 
(4) The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount
owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 607, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities; and 
 
(5) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default specified in Sections 501(6), (7), (8) and (9), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable
Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
 
In the event of the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred prior to such resignation or removal of the Trustee shall survive such resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 
In the event the Company fails to make any payments required by this Section 607, the Guarantor agrees to make such payments on its
behalf. 
 
The provisions of this Section shall
survive the termination of this Indenture. 
 
SECTION 608. Conflicting Interests. 
 
If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the
provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to
Securities of more than one series. 
 
SECTION 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
 
There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that
is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and has a Corporate Trust Office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York. If any such Person publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus
of 

 

44 

such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at
any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

 
SECTION 610. Resignation and
Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 
No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section
611. 
 
The Trustee may resign at any time with
respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and the Guarantor. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 
The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company and the Guarantor. 
 
If at any time: 
 
(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with
Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or the Guarantor or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 
(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or the Guarantor or by any such Holder, or 
 
(3) 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, (A) the Company or the Guarantor by a Board Resolution
may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 
If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be 

 

45 

appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and
the Guarantor and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted
appointment in the manner required by Section 611, the Trustee (at the expense of the Company) or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 
The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 
SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
 
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the Guarantor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company, the Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the Guarantor, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the
retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities
of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee
of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities
of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company, the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such 

 

46 

retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 
Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. 
 
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 
SECTION 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee
had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 
SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company or Guarantor. 
 
If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or the Guarantor (or any such other obligor), as the case may be. 
 
SECTION 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 
The Trustee, with the consent of the Company and the Guarantor, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents
with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof
or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or State authority in the United States. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section,
the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent 

 

47 

report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company and the Guarantor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company and the
Guarantor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and the Guarantor and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating
Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating
Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 
The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and
the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 
 
If an appointment with respect to the Securities of one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may
have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 
 

48 

 
This is one of
the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 As Trustee

	 	 	 As Authenticating Agent

	
	 By
	 	  

	 	 	 Authorized Signatory

 
If
all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have
Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing or by facsimile (which writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall
appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect of such series of Securities.

required to be filed with the Commission. 
 
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or the Guarantor’s compliance, as the case may be, with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’
Certificates).

under this Indenture and the Securities or the Guarantees, as the case may be. 
 
SECTION 803. Assumption By A Guarantor Or Subsidiary Of Company’s Obligations. 
 
The Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor may assume the obligations of the Company (or any Person which shall have previously
assumed the obligations of the Company) for the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on and any other payments with respect to the Securities and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture and the
Securities on the part of the Company to be performed or observed, provided that: 
 
(1) The Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall expressly assume such obligations by an indenture
supplemental hereto executed and delivered to the Trustee and if such Subsidiary assumes such obligations, the Guarantor shall, by such supplemental indenture, confirm that its Guarantee shall apply to such Subsidiary’s obligations under the
Securities and this Indenture, as modified by such supplemental indenture; 
 
(2) The Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, (if such Guarantor or such Subsidiary is organized and validly existing under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Australia or any political
subdivision thereof) shall agree in such supplemental indenture, that, with respect to the assumption of its obligations to pay Additional Amounts, if any, pursuant to Section 1007, the name of its jurisdiction of organization shall be deemed to be
substituted for Australia in each place that Australia appears in Section 1007 (except that the following clauses of Section 1007, which relate to specific provisions of Australian tax law, shall be deemed to be deleted from Section 1007 with
respect to such Person: the proviso in Section 1007(1)(a); Section 1007(5); and Section 1007(6)). 
 
(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of
time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 

52 

 
(4) the Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such assumption and such supplemental indenture comply with this
Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with. 
 
Upon any such assumption, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if the Guarantor or such Subsidiary had been named as the “Company” herein, and the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this instrument or any
successor Person which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article shall be released from its liability as obligor upon the Securities. 
 
ARTICLE NINE 
 
Supplemental Indentures 
 
SECTION 901. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent Of Holders. 
 
Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, the
Guarantor, when authorized by a Board Resolution of the Company and the Guarantor, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the
following purposes: 
 
(1) to
evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or the Guarantor and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company or the Guarantor herein and in the Securities and any Guarantee; or 
 
(2) to add to the covenants of the Company or
the Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit
of such series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or the Guarantor; or 
 
(3) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such
additional Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such additional Events of Default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series); or 
 
(4) to add to or change any of the provisions
of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest coupons, or to permit or facilitate the issuance
of Securities in uncertificated form; or 
 
(5) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided that any such addition, change or elimination (A) shall neither (i) apply to any Security of
any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become effective only
when there is no such Security Outstanding; or 
 

53 

 
(6) to secure the Securities or the Guarantee pursuant to the requirements of Section 1008 or otherwise; or 
 
(7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or 
 
(8) to evidence and provide for the
acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of
the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 611; or 
 
(9) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any
other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, provided that such action pursuant to this Clause (9) shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of
Securities of any series in any material respect. 
 
SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. 
 
With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to
the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, when authorized by a Board Resolution of the Company and the Guarantor, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no
such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, 
 
(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any instalment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or
reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (or change the method of calculating the rate of interest thereon) or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any obligation to pay any Additional Amounts or
reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment where,
or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date), or modify any provisions of this Indenture with respect to the conversion or exchange of the Securities into Securities of another series or into any other debt or equity securities in a manner adverse to the Holders, or

 
(2) reduce the percentage in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this
Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or 
 

54 

 
(3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1010, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of
the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant
changes in this Section and Section 1010, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 611 and 901(8), or 
 
(4) change in a manner adverse to the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series the terms and conditions of the
obligations of the Guarantor in respect of the due and punctual payment of the principal thereof and any premium and interest thereon (and any Additional Amounts in respect thereof) or any sinking fund payments provided in respect thereof.

 
A supplemental indenture which changes or
eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with
respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 
SECTION 903. Execution Of Supplemental Indentures. 
 
In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 
SECTION 904. Effect Of Supplemental
Indentures. 
 
Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter
authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 
 
SECTION 905. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. 
 
Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 
SECTION 906. Reference In Securities To
Supplemental Indentures. 
 
Securities of any
series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Company 

 

55 

and the Guarantor shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company
and the Guarantor, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company, the notation of the Guarantor on the Guarantees endorsed thereon may be prepared and executed by the Guarantor and such Securities authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 
 
ARTICLE TEN 
 
Covenants 
 
SECTION 1001. Payment Of Principal, Premium And Interest. 
 
The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of that series in
accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 
 
SECTION 1002. Maintenance Of Office Or Agency. 
 
The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that
series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company 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 a Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

 
The Company may also from time to time designate
one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 
The Guarantor will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment pursuant to any
Guarantee and where notices and demands to or upon the Guarantor in respect of any Guarantee and this Indenture may be served. The Guarantor will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. If at any time the Guarantor shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders and demands may be made or served at a Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Guarantor hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders and demands. 
 
The Guarantor may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for such purpose or where such notices or demands may be served and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, 

 

56 

however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Guarantor of its obligation to maintain an office or
agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Guarantor will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 
SECTION 1003. Money For
Securities Payments To Be Held In Trust. 
 
If the
Company or the Guarantor shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will
promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a
sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 
The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of
Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of Persons entitled thereto and (2) during
the continuance of any default by the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series or any Guarantee, upon the written request of the
Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series or such Guarantee(s). 
 
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay,
or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or the Guarantor, in
trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company or the
Guarantor on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company or the Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company or the Guarantor for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company or the Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 

57 

 
SECTION 1004. Statement By Officers As To Default. 
 
Each of the Company and the Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor ending after the date hereof, a certificate (which need not comply with Section 102
hereof) of a principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof it is in default in the performance and observance of any of
the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if it shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they
may have knowledge. 
 
The Company and the
Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within [five] days after the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the
lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, proposes to take with
respect thereto. 
 
SECTION 1005.
Existence. 
 
Subject to Article Eight, each of
the Company and the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the
Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business. 
 
SECTION 1006. Payment Of Taxes And Other
Claims. 
 
Each of the Company and the Guarantor
will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or upon the income, profits or property of it, and (2) all lawful claims
for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or the Guarantor; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantor shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be
paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith. 
 
SECTION 1007. Additional Amounts 
 
All payments of, or in respect of, principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities, and all
payments pursuant to any Guarantee, shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Australia or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges are required by Australia or any such subdivision or authority to be withheld or deducted. In that event, the Company or
the Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities (“Additional Amounts”) as will result (after deduction of such taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges payable in respect of such payment) in the payment to each Holder of a Security of the amounts which would have been payable in respect of such
Security or the Guarantee thereof, as the case may be, 

 

58 

had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be so payable for or on account of: 
 
(1) any withholding, deduction, tax, duty,
assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the fact that such Holder: (A) was a resident, domiciliary or national of, or engaged in business or maintained a permanent establishment or was physically present in,
Australia or otherwise had some connection with Australia other than the mere ownership of, or receipt of payment under, such Security or the Guarantee thereof, provided that such Holder shall not be regarded as being connected with Australia
for the reason that such Holder is a resident of Australia where, and to the extent that, such tax is payable by reason of Section 128B(2A) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 of Australia; (B) presented such Security or the Guarantee for payment
in Australia, unless presentation shall be required and such Security or the Guarantee could not have been presented for payment elsewhere; or (C) presented such Security or the Guarantee (where presentation is required) more than thirty (30) days
after the date on which the payment in respect of such Security or the Guarantee first became due and payable or provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had
presented such Security or the Guarantee for payment on the last day within such period of thirty (30) days; 
 
(2) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental
charge; 
 
(3) any tax, assessment
or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments of (or in respect of) principal of or any premium or interest on the Securities or the Guarantee thereof; 
 
(4) any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or, in the case of a Global Security, the beneficial owner of such Global Security with a request of the Company or the Guarantor addressed to the Holder or
beneficial owner, as the case may be, (A) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or such beneficial owner or (B) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting
requirement, which, in the case of (A) or (B), is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other
governmental charge; or 
 
(5) any
withholding, deduction, tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of such Holder being an “associate” of the Company or the Guarantor for the purposes of Section 128(F) of the Income Tax Assessment
Act 1936 of Australia; or 
 
(6)
any withholding or deduction that is imposed or withheld as a consequence of a determination having been made under Part IVA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 of Australia (or any modification thereof or provision substituted therefor) by the
Commissioner of Taxation of the Commonwealth of Australia that withholding tax is payable in respect of a payment; or 
 
(7) any withholding, deduction, tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is imposed or withheld on a
payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant 

 

59 

to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of the 26th-27th
November 2000, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or 
 
(8) any withholding, deduction, tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is imposed or withheld on a
payment with respect to a Security presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder who would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the Security or the Guarantee to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the European
Union; or 
 
(9) any combination
of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (8); 
 
nor shall
Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security or the Guarantee thereof to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such
payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of Australia (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such
fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of the Security. 
 
Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium
or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series (or any payments pursuant to the Guarantee thereof) or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of
the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of
Additional Amounts in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 
At least ten Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date, any Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of
the Securities, the Company shall furnish to the Paying Agents to whom the Company has provided funds directly pursuant to Section 307 hereof a certificate of an Authorized Officer specifying the amount required to be deducted or withheld on
payments of principal of or interest on the Securities due on such date of payment for or on account of any taxes, duties, assessments, or governmental charges of whatever nature and certifying that such amount will be withheld and paid by the
Company. The Company covenants to indemnify the Paying Agents for, and to hold each harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or not taken by any of them in reliance on any certificate furnished to them pursuant to this paragraph or the failure to furnish any such certificate. The obligations of the Company under the preceding sentence shall
survive payment of all the Securities, the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Registrar, or any Paying Agent. 
 
Any certificate required by this Section to be provided to the Paying Agents shall be deemed to be duly
provided if telecopied to the Paying Agents. Upon request, the Company shall provide the Paying Agents with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agents evidencing the payment of any taxes, duties, assessments, or governmental charges
of whatever nature in respect of which the Company has paid any Additional Amounts. Copies of such documentation shall be made available to the Holders of the Securities upon request therefor.

SECTION 1008. Limitation On Liens 
 
For so long as any Securities of a particular series of debt securities remain Outstanding under this Indenture, the Guarantors will not, and the Parent Guarantor will not permit the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue,
create, incur or assume any Liens (except for Permitted Liens) upon any of their respective Property (whether owned as of the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired) in order to secure any existing or future Debt without making effective
provision whereby all the Securities of such series shall be directly secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt for so long as such Debt is so secured. Nothing herein shall restrict the ability of Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor

“Debt” means any indebtedness of any Person for
money borrowed, including any indebtedness evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness, and any guarantee thereof. The following types of transactions shall not be deemed to create Debt: (a) the sale or other

metallic and non-metallic minerals, metals, industrial minerals or fertilizers, (b) the sale or other transfer of any other interest in Property of the character commonly referred to as a “production payment” and (c) the purchase of any
assets or services on deferred payment terms, where payment is deferred for no more than 90 days. 
 
“Exempted Debt” means the sum, without duplication, of the following items to the extent such items are outstanding as of the
date Exempted Debt is being determined: (i) Debt of the Guarantors, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries incurred after the date of initial issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Indenture and secured by Liens created, incurred or
assumed other than any Permitted Liens referred to in clauses (1) through (8) of the definition of Permitted Liens below and (ii) Attributable Debt of the Guarantors, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of sale and leaseback
transactions other than Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into in accordance with Section 1009. 
 
“Liens” means, with respect to any Property, any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind in
respect of such Property but does not include any provision for the set-off of debts or other amounts or any retention of title arrangement with respect to deferred payment terms that is repaid within 180 days following entry into such retention of
title arrangement in each case in circumstances where the arrangement or transaction is entered into primarily for purposes other than the raising of Debt or of financing the acquisition of an asset. 
 
“Parent Guarantor” means WMC Resources Limited.

 

61 

 
“Permitted Liens” means 
 
(1) Liens on Property of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Liens were not entered into in contemplation of the transaction whereby such Person became a Restricted
Subsidiary and do not extend to any assets of the Company, the Guarantors or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than such Property; 
 
(2) Liens to secure Debt of a Guarantor, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to any of the other Guarantors, the
Company or another Restricted Subsidiary (as applicable); 
 
(3) Liens to secure the performance of tenders, bids, leases, statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds, government contracts, performance and return-of-money bonds and other obligations of a like
nature arising in the ordinary course of business in Australia (exclusive of obligations for the payment of borrowed money); 
 
(4) Liens on any Property existing at the time such Property is acquired by any of the Guarantors, the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, provided that such Liens were not entered into in contemplation of such merger, consolidation or purchase and do not extend to any assets of the Company, the
Guarantors or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than such Property; 
 
(5) Liens existing as of the date of issuance of such series of Securities; 
 
(6) Liens on any Property (including any improvements thereon) acquired or constructed by a Guarantor or any Restricted
Subsidiary after the date of initial issuance of such Series of Securities to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of such Property (or to secure any indebtedness incurred by such
Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or cost of construction thereof or of improvements thereon) created prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after the later of the
acquisition, completion of construction or commencement of commercial operation of such Property, provided that the principal moneys secured thereby do not exceed the cost of such acquisition, construction or improvement and no such Lien shall
extend to any other Property of such Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary other than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, any theretofore unimproved real property on which such Property so constructed, or the improvement, is located;

 
(7) any attachment or judgment

permitted in the foregoing clauses (1) through (7)); and 
 

62 

 
(9) in addition to the foregoing clauses (1) through (8), the Guarantors, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may issue, create, incur or assume any Lien upon any of their respective Property in order to secure Debt; provided

SECTION
1009. Limitation On Sale And Leaseback. 
 
For so
long as any Securities remain Outstanding under this Indenture, the Guarantors will not, and the Parent Guarantor will not permit the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any Person (not including any of the

years of any Property which has been owned by any of the Guarantors, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for more than 270 days and which has been or is to be sold or transferred by such Guarantor, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to
such Person or, as a part of such arrangement, to any Person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such Person on the security of such Property (herein referred to as a “sale and leaseback transaction”) unless such Guarantor,

transactions in addition to those permitted above, provided that at the time of entering into such sale and leaseback transactions and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt will not exceed 10% of Net Tangible Assets. Nothing herein shall
restrict the ability of any Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor (other than any of the other Guarantors, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary) to enter into sale and leaseback transactions.

SECTION 1010. Waiver Of Certain Covenants. 
 
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, the Company and the Guarantor may, with respect to the Securities of such series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,

the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition,

respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 
ARTICLE ELEVEN

SECTION 1102. Election To Redeem; Notice To Trustee. 
 
The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption
Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 
SECTION 1103. Selection By Trustee Of
Securities To Be Redeemed. 
 
If less than all the

Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount
of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less
than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such
series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
 

64 

 
The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context
otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be
redeemed.

All notices of redemption shall state: 
 
(1) the Redemption Date, 
 
(2) the Redemption Price, or the formula
pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time notice is given, 
 
(3) the CUSIP or other identifying number of such Securities to be redeemed, 
 
(4) if less than all the Outstanding
Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, in the case of any such Security of such series
to be redeemed in part, that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the remaining unpaid principal amount thereof will be issued as provided in
Section 1107, 
 
(5) that on the
Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 
 
(6) the place or places where such Securities
are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, and 
 
(7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 
 
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the
election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. 
 
SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 
Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the 

 

65 

Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

 
SECTION 1106. Securities
Payable on Redemption Date. 
 
Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the
payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security or
portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, instalments of interest
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to
their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
 
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the
Security. 
 
SECTION 1107.
Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 
Any Security which
is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, the Guarantor shall execute the notation of the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen of the Guarantee endorsed thereon, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal
to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 
 
SECTION 1108. Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment 
 
If at any time as the result of any change in or any
amendment to the laws, regulations or published tax rulings of Australia, or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, affecting taxation, or any change in the official administration, application or interpretation of such
laws, regulations or published tax rulings either generally or in relation to any particular Securities (or the Guarantee thereof), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the original issue date of such Securities or which change in
official administration, application or interpretation shall not have been available to the public prior to such issue date, the Company or the Guarantor would be required to pay any Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1007 of this Indenture or
the terms of any Security or the Guarantee thereof (1) in respect of interest on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (assuming, in the case of the Guarantor, a payment in respect of such interest were required to be made by the Guarantor under
the Guarantee thereof on such Interest Payment Date), or (2) in respect of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities on the date of such determination, assuming such principal were required to be paid on such date under the terms of
the Securities (and assuming, in the case of the Guarantor, that a payment in respect of such principal were required to be made by it on such date 

 

66 

pursuant to the Guarantee thereof), and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures
available to the Company or any Guarantor, in either case the Company may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) the Securities of any series in respect of which such Additional Amounts would be so payable at any time, upon notice as
provided in Sections 1102 and 1104, at a Redemption Price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts), if any, to the date fixed for redemption (except that any such Securities
that are Outstanding Original Issue Discount Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price specified in the terms thereof); provided, however, that (a) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest
date on which the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities or the Guarantee thereof then due, and (b) at the time any such redemption notice is given,
such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect. If (1) the Company or Guarantor shall have on any date (the “Succession Date”) consolidated with or merged into, or conveyed or transferred or leased its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to, any successor Person referred to in Section 801(3) or any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of any Guarantor shall have on a Succession Date assumed and succeeded to the obligations of the Company (or any Person
which shall have previously assumed the obligations of the Company) pursuant to Section 803, and (2) as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws, regulations or published tax rulings of the jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization of such successor Person, as applicable, or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, affecting taxation, or any change in the official administration, application or interpretation of such laws, regulations
or published tax rulings either generally or in relation to any particular Securities (or the Guarantee thereof), which change or amendment, in the case of any jurisdiction other than Australia, becomes effective on or after the Succession Date or
which change in official administration, application or interpretation, in the case of any jurisdiction other than Australia, shall not have been available to the public prior to such Succession Date, such successor Person would be required to pay
any successor Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 801(3) or Section 803(2) hereof or the terms of any Security or the Guarantee thereof (i) in respect of interest on any Securities on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (assuming, in the
case of a successor Guarantor, that a payment in respect of such interest were required to be made by such successor Guarantor under the Guarantee on such Interest Payment Date), or (ii) in respect of the principal of any Original Issue Discount
Securities on the date of such determination (assuming such principal were required to be paid on such date under the terms of the Securities and, in the case of a successor Guarantor, that a payment in respect of such principal were required to be
made by such successor Guarantor on such date pursuant to the Guarantee), and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, any Guarantor or successor Person, the Company or
the successor Person may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) the Securities of any series in respect of which such successor Additional Amounts would be so payable at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written
notice as provided herein, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts) to the date fixed for redemption (except that any such Securities that are Outstanding
Original Issue Discount Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price specified in the terms thereof); provided, however, that (1) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which a
Person would be obligated to pay such successor Additional Amounts, and (2) at the time any such redemption notice is given, such obligation to pay such successor Additional Amounts must remain in effect. 
 
Prior to any redemption of any Securities pursuant to this
Section, the Company or a successor Person shall provide the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel that the conditions precedent or a successor Person to the right of the Company to redeem such Securities pursuant to this Section have occurred which
Opinion of Counsel shall be based on the laws and application and interpretation thereof in effect 

 

67 

on the date of such opinion or to become effective on or before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, and a certificate signed by an
authorized officer of the Company or successor Person, as the case may be, stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, any Guarantor or successor Person.

Sinking Funds 
 
SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

 
The provisions of this Article shall be
applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. 
 
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash
amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 
 
SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund
Payments with Securities. 
 
The Company (1) may
deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) in respect of which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of such a series which have been redeemed either
at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking
fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not
been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 
SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 
Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 60 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

 
SECTION 1301. Option to Effect
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 
The Company
or the Guarantor may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any series (a “Defeasible Series”), designated pursuant to Section 301 as being defeasible pursuant to
such Section 1302 or 1303, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 301 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in
another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. 
 
SECTION 1302. Defeasance and Discharge. 
 
Upon the Company’s or the Guarantor’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series, the Company and the Guarantor shall
be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter
called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to have
satisfied all their other respective obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar as the Securities of such series are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as
more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities of such series when payments are due, (2) the Company’s and the Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the
Securities of such series under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights (including without limitation, the rights set forth in Section 607), powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article. Subject
to compliance with this Article, the Company or the Guarantor may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303 applied to the Outstanding
Securities of such series. 
 
SECTION 1303. Covenant Defeasance. 
 
Upon the Company’s or the Guarantor’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to the Securities of any Defeasible Series, (1) the Company and the Guarantor shall be released from their respective
obligations under Section 801, 1005, 1006, 1008 and 1009, inclusive, and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(20), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section
501(4) (with respect to any of Section 801, Sections 1005 (except with respect to maintaining its corporate existence), 1006, 1008 and 1009, inclusive, Article Fourteen and any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(20), 901(2) or 901(7)),
501(5) and 501(10)) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are
satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such specified 

 

69 

Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be unaffected
thereby. 
 
SECTION 1304.
Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (A) money in an amount, or (B) Eligible Obligations which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and
discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of such series on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities of such series. 
 
(2) In the event of an election to have
Section 1302 apply, the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company or the Guarantor has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a
ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable United States Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the
Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series
and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
 
(3) In the event of an election to have
Section 1303 apply, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amount, in the
same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur. 
 
(4) The Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the
Securities of such series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such deposit. 
 

70 

 
(5) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with
regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(6) through (9), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

 
(6) Such Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act). 
 
(7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or the Guarantor (or any other obligor on the Defeasible Series) is a party or by which it is bound. 
 
(8) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 
 
(9) The Company or the Guarantor shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 
SECTION 1305. Deposited Money and Eligible
Obligations to be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Eligible Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and
Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Defeasible Series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Defeasible Series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Defeasible Series, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 
The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay
and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Eligible Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 
 
Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, from time to time upon Company Request any money or
Eligible Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee,
are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities. 
 

71 

 
SECTION 1306. Reinstatement. 
 
If
the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company and the Guarantor, have been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article;
provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantor makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the
rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust. 
 
ARTICLE FOURTEEN 
 
Guarantee of Securities 
 
SECTION 1401. Guarantee 
 
The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security of each series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal (including any amount due in respect of
original issue discount) of and any premium and interest on such Security (and any Additional Amounts payable by the Company in respect thereof), and the due and punctual payment of any sinking fund payments provided for pursuant to terms of such
Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of this Indenture. The Guarantor hereby
agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were a principal debtor and not merely a surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any
Security of any series or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any Security of any series or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of any Security of any
series or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence
shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of a Security or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, the benefit of discussion, protest or notice with respect to any Security or the indebtedness evidenced
thereby or with respect of any sinking fund payment required pursuant to the terms of a Security issued under this Indenture and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged with respect to any Security except by
payment in full of the principal thereof and any premium and interest thereon (and any Additional Amounts payable by the Company in respect thereof) or as provided in Article Four, Section 802 or Article Thirteen. The Guarantor further agrees that,
as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby. 
 

72 

 
The Guarantor
shall be subrogated to all rights of each Holder of Securities against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be
entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and any premium and interest on all the Securities of the same series and of like tenor (and any Additional Amounts
payable in respect thereof) shall have been paid in full. 
 
No past, present or future stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator of the Guarantor shall have any personal liability under the Guarantee set forth in this Section 1401 by reason of his or its status as such
stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator. 
 
The Guarantee set forth in this Section 1401 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Security until the certificate of authentication on such Security shall have been signed by or on behalf of the
Trustee. 
 
SECTION 1402.
Execution of Guarantee 
 
To evidence its
guarantee to the Holders specified in Section 1401, the Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the notation of the Guarantee in substantially the form set forth in Section 204 to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee. Each such notation of the Guarantee shall be signed
on behalf of the Guarantor, by any Authorized Officer, prior to the authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the due authentication thereof by the Trustee hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantee on behalf of the Guarantor. Such signatures upon the notation of the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile signatures of any present, past or future such Authorized Officers and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced below the notation of the Guarantee, and in case any such Authorized Officer who shall have signed the notation of the Guarantee shall cease to be such Authorized Officer before the Security on which such notation is endorsed shall have
been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed the notation of the Guarantee had not ceased to be such
Authorized Officer of the Guarantor. 
 

73 

 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed
to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed all as of the day and year first above written.
