 RECITALS

 WHEREAS, the Company and Starboard have engaged in various discussions and communications concerning the
Company’s business, financial performance and strategic plans; 
 WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, Starboard
has a combined economic and beneficial ownership (as determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (as defined below)) interest in the outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value NIS 0.0175 per share, of the Company (the
“Ordinary Shares”) totaling, in the aggregate, 5,466,621 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 10.5% of the Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement (“Starboard’s Ownership”); 

WHEREAS, Starboard submitted a letter to the Company on January 17, 2018 (the “Nomination Letter”), as
supplemented on June 1, 2018, nominating a slate of director candidates to be elected to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the Company’s 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2018
Annual Meeting”); and 
 WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company and Starboard have determined to
come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Board and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 

1. Board Appointments and Related Agreements. 

(a) Board Appointments and Replacement Rights. 

(i) The Company agrees that the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions, effective
immediately following the execution of this Agreement, to (A) accept the resignations tendered by Shai Cohen, Dov Baharav and Thomas J. Riordan as directors of the Company, who the Company hereby represents have submitted, or shall no later
than the date hereof submit, letters of resignation to the Board that will become effective immediately upon acceptance of such resignations by the Board, (B) appoint to the Board each of Jon A. Olson and Gregory Waters (each, a
“Starboard Independent Appointee” and, collectively, the “Starboard Independent Appointees”) and (C) appoint to the Board Jack Lazar (the “Mutual Independent Appointee,” and, together with the
Starboard Independent Appointees, the 

 
“Independent Appointees” or, each, an “Independent Appointee”), each of whom has conducted customary interviews with representatives of the Board and the Board
has determined meets the Director Criteria (as defined in Section 1(a)(ii) below). The Independent Appointees shall stand for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting, together with the Company’s other nominees. The Company will recommend,
support and solicit proxies for the election of the Independent Appointees at the 2018 Annual Meeting in the same manner as it recommends, supports and solicits proxies for the election of the Company’s other nominees at the 2018 Annual
Meeting. 
 (ii) If any Starboard Independent Appointee (or any Starboard Replacement Director (as defined below)) is unable
or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as a director prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period (as defined below), and at such time Starboard’s Ownership (which at any measurement time during the
Standstill Period shall include a combination of Starboard’s economic and beneficial ownership (as determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of Ordinary Shares as of such time) is at least the lesser of 3.0% of the
Company’s then outstanding Ordinary Shares and 1,565,937 Ordinary Shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments) (such lesser amount, the “Minimum Ownership Threshold”),
Starboard shall have the ability to recommend a substitute person for appointment to the Board in accordance with this Section 1(a)(ii) (any such replacement nominee shall be referred to as a “Starboard Replacement Director,”
and upon becoming a Starboard Replacement Director, such person shall be deemed a Starboard Independent Appointee for purposes of this Agreement). Any Starboard Replacement Director must (A) qualify as “independent” pursuant to Nasdaq
Stock Market listing standards, (B) have the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of the Company, and (C) meet the Company’s publicly disclosed guidelines and policies with respect to service on the Board as in
effect as of the date of this Agreement (clauses (A) through (C), the “Director Criteria”) and must be (A) reasonably acceptable to the Board (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) and (B) independent of
Starboard (for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination by Starboard of such person to serve on the board of another company shall not (in and of itself) cause such person not to be deemed independent of Starboard). The Nominating Committee shall make
its determination and recommendation (which it shall undertake reasonably and in good faith) regarding whether any other such Starboard Replacement Director meets the foregoing criteria within five (5) business days after (x) such nominee
as a Starboard Replacement Director has submitted to the Company the Onboarding Documentation (as defined below) and (y) representatives of the Board have, if requested by the Company, conducted customary interview(s) of such nominee. The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to conduct any interview(s) contemplated by this Section 1(a)(ii) as promptly as practicable, but in any case, assuming reasonable availability of the nominee, within ten (10) business days
after Starboard’s submission of such nominee. In the event the Nominating Committee does not accept a person recommended by Starboard as the Starboard Replacement Director, Starboard shall have the right to recommend additional substitute
person(s) whose appointment shall be subject to the Nominating Committee recommending such person in accordance with the procedures described in this Section 1(a)(ii). Upon the recommendation of a Starboard Replacement Director nominee by the
Nominating Committee, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Starboard Replacement Director to the Board no later than five (5) business days after the Nominating Committee recommendation of such Starboard Replacement Director;
provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such Starboard Replacement Director to the Board pursuant to this Section 1(a)(ii), the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this Section 1(a)(ii) until a
Starboard Replacement Director 

 
is elected to the Board. Subject to Nasdaq rules and applicable law, upon a Starboard Replacement Director’s appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board
shall take all necessary actions to appoint such Starboard Replacement Director to any applicable committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal. Subject to Nasdaq
rules and applicable law, until such time as any Starboard Replacement Director is appointed to any applicable committee, the other Starboard Independent Appointee or the Mutual Independent Appointee will serve as an interim member of such
applicable committee. 
 (iii) If the Mutual Independent Appointee (or any Mutual Replacement Director (as defined below))
is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as a director prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period (any such replacement nominee shall be referred to as a “Mutual Replacement Director,”
and upon becoming a Mutual Replacement Director, such person shall be deemed a Mutual Independent Appointee for purposes of this Agreement) and at such time Starboard’s Ownership meets the Minimum Ownership Threshold, the Company and Starboard
shall agree on a list of four (4) Mutual Replacement Director candidates within twenty (20) calendar days following the Mutual Independent Appointee’s resignation or removal. Subject to the following sentence, within ten
(10) business days of the date that the Company and Starboard agree upon such list of director candidates, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to select and appoint one (1) candidate to the
Board from such list as a Mutual Replacement Director. Prior to the appointment of a Mutual Replacement Director to the Board, such Mutual Replacement Director must meet the Director Criteria, must have conducted a customary interview with
representatives of the Board and must submit to the Company the Onboarding Documentation. Subject to Nasdaq rules and applicable law, upon the Mutual Replacement Director’s appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees of
the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint such replacement director to any applicable committee of the Board of which the Mutual Independent Appointee was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal. 

(iv) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Thomas Weatherford shall execute and deliver to the Company an advance
irrevocable resignation letter pursuant to which he shall resign from the Board and all applicable committees thereof effective upon March 2, 2019 (the “Resignation Date”). At the Resignation Date, the Board and all
applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to accept the resignation of Thomas Weatherford from the Board and all applicable committees thereof. In the event that prior to the Resignation Date, Starboard has the right to
appoint an Additional Starboard Appointee (as defined below) to the Board pursuant to Section 3 below, Starboard has designated for appointment an Additional Starboard Appointee, and such Additional Starboard Appointee has otherwise satisfied
any requirements with respect to such appointment pursuant to Section 3 (including satisfaction of the Director Criteria and delivery of the Onboarding Documentation), then between the time that Starboard has the right to appoint such
Additional Starboard Appointee and the appointment of such Additional Starboard Appointee to the Board (the “Observer Period”), such Additional Starboard Appointee shall be an observer to the Board (the “Observer”)
who shall receive copies of all documents distributed to the Board during the Observer Period, including notice of all meetings of the Board, all written consents executed by the Board, all materials prepared for consideration at any meeting of the
Board, and all minutes related to each meeting of the Board contemporaneous with their distribution to the Board. The Observer shall be permitted 

 
to attend and reasonably participate, but not vote, at all meetings of the Board during the Observer Period (whether such meetings are held in person, telephonically or otherwise). The Observer
shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in substantially the form entered into by the members of the Board as of the date of this Agreement, and shall also agree to hold any information received as an Observer subject to the fiduciary duties
that such Observer would have to the Company and its shareholders were such Observer a director of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to exclude the Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion
thereof if, and only to the extent that, the Board determines reasonably and in good faith that such exclusion is necessary and with respect to an Additional Starboard Appointee that is a Starboard partner, consistent with Section 3(g). If an
Additional Starboard Appointee has been appointed as an Observer pursuant to this Section 1(a)(iv), then within five (5) business days following the Resignation Date such Additional Starboard Appointee shall be appointed to the Board in
accordance with Section 3. 
 (v) During the Standstill Period, the Company agrees (A) that the size of the Board
shall be no more than eleven (11) directors and (B) the Board shall not act to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Weatherford’s resignation pursuant to Section 1(a)(iv) other than in accordance with Section 3 below;
provided that, in the event that any shareholder other than Starboard delivers notice of its intent to nominate a director for election to such vacant seat at any annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in accordance with the
Company’s amended and restated articles of association (the “Articles”) and applicable law, the Board may appoint an independent director to the Board to fill such vacancy and the Company and the Board may recommend, support
and solicit proxies for the election of such independent director at such annual or extraordinary general meeting, provided that a member of the Board (which shall be either such newly appointed member or any other director of the Company who
was appointed to the Board prior to February 2018) executes and delivers to the Company no later than the time of such appointment an advance irrevocable resignation letter pursuant to which such member of the Board shall resign from the Board and
all applicable committees thereof effective upon the appointment of any Additional Starboard Appointee pursuant to Section 3 below. 

(vi) The Company agrees that it will nominate and recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the Independent
Appointees (including any Additional Starboard Appointee appointed under Section 3 below, if applicable) and the Company’s nominees at any extraordinary general meeting of the Company held during the Standstill Period to the extent such
extraordinary general meeting includes the election of directors. 
 (vii) Starboard, on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates, hereby irrevocably withdraws the Nomination Letter, as supplemented on June 1, 2018, and any related materials or notices submitted to the Company in connection therewith. 

(b) Board Committees. 

(i) The Company agrees that the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint
each Independent Appointee as a member of at least one (1) committee of the Board as promptly as practicable upon the execution of this Agreement, but in any event no later than five (5) business days following the execution of this
Agreement. During the Standstill Period, each committee and subcommittee of the Board, 

 
including any new committee(s) and subcommittee(s) that may be established, shall include at least one (1) Independent Appointee, provided that at least one (1) Independent
Appointee satisfies any Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards and legal requirements for service on any such committee with respect to financial expertise and independence. 

(ii) Without limiting Section 1(b)(i), the Board shall give each Independent Appointee the same due consideration for
membership to any committee of the Board as any other independent director. 
 (iii) No later than immediately following the
execution of this Agreement, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint Umesh Padval, Steve Sanghi or one (1) of the Independent Appointees as Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the
Board. 
 (c) 2018 Annual Meeting. The Company agrees to hold the 2018 Annual Meeting no later than July 25,
2018. 
 (d) 2019 Annual Meeting. The Company agrees to hold the 2019 annual general meeting of shareholders (the
“2019 Annual Meeting”) during the month of July in calendar year 2019, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. 

(e) 2020 Annual Meeting. The Company agrees to hold the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2020
Annual Meeting”) no later than July 25, 2020, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. 
 (f)

 (i) Starboard agrees that it will cause its controlled Affiliates and Associates to comply
with the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any such controlled Affiliate or Associate. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective
meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange
Act”), and shall include all persons or entities that at any time during the term of this Agreement become Affiliates or Associates of any person or entity referred to in this Agreement.

beneficially owned by Starboard at the 2018 Annual Meeting (A) in favor of the Company’s nominees and the Independent Appointees and (B) in 

 
accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to each of the other proposals included in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC with respect to the 2018
Annual Meeting (the “Non-Election Proposals”); provided, however, that in the event Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) recommends otherwise with respect to any Non-Election Proposal,
Starboard shall be permitted to vote in accordance with the ISS recommendation for such Non-Election Proposal.
 (iv)
Starboard agrees that it will appear in person or by proxy at any extraordinary general meeting of the Company held during the Standstill Period and, to the extent such extraordinary general meeting includes the election of directors, vote all
Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Starboard at such extraordinary general meeting, in favor of the election of the Company’s nominees for election as director and the Independent Appointees (including any Additional Starboard Appointee
appointed under Section 3 below, if applicable), and not in favor of any other director nominees. 
 (v) Prior to the
date of this Agreement, the Independent Appointees have submitted to the Company (x) a fully completed copy of the Company’s standard director & officer questionnaire and other reasonable and customary director onboarding

applicable publicly disclosed confidentiality, corporate governance, conflict of interest, Regulation FD, code of conduct and ethics and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Company that have been provided to such person prior
to such date and (z) an executed customary confidentiality agreement in substantially the form entered into by the members of the Board as of the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Onboarding Documentation”). As a
condition for eligibility for appointment, any Starboard Replacement Director or Mutual Replacement Director, will promptly (but in any event prior to being placed on the Board in accordance with this Agreement) submit to the Company the Onboarding
Documentation. 
 (vi) The Independent Appointees (including any Additional Starboard Appointee who is not a partner of
Starboard appointed under Section 3 below), in addition to all current directors, will be required to (A) comply with all policies, procedures, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to members of the Board and (B) keep
confidential all Company Confidential Information (as defined below) and not disclose to any third parties (including Starboard) discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees. 

(vii) The Company agrees that the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall, to the extent such committees have
such authority or are entitled to so determine, take all necessary actions, effective no later than immediately following the appointment of each Independent Appointee and any Additional Starboard Appointee, to determine, in connection with their
initial appointments as directors pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable, that the election of each such Independent Appointee to the Board is approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the incumbent directors currently still in office for the
purposes of the definition of “Change in Control”, “Change of Control” (or any similar term) under any Company incentive plans, options plans, severance agreements, employment agreements or any other

 
material agreements, including the Company’s Executive Severance Benefits Agreements with US and Israel executives, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Global Share Incentive Plan
(2006) and the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Global Share Incentive Plan (2006), or any other related plans or agreements that refer to any such plan’s or agreement’s definition of “Change in Control”,
“Change of Control” (or any similar term). 
 2. Standstill Provisions. 

(a) Starboard agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (x) the date that is fifteen
(15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of shareholder nominations for the 2019 Annual Meeting pursuant to the Articles (the “2019 Nomination Deadline”) or (y) the date that is one-hundred
(100) days prior to the first anniversary of the 2018 Annual Meeting (the “Standstill Period”), neither it nor any of its controlled Affiliates or Associates will, and it will cause each of its controlled Affiliates and
Associates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner: 
 (i) engage in any solicitation of proxies or consents or become
a “participant” in a “solicitation” (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) of proxies or consents (including, without limitation, any solicitation of consents that seeks to call an extraordinary
general meeting of shareholders), in each case, with respect to securities of the Company; 
 (ii) form, join or in any way
participate in any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the Ordinary Shares (other than a “group” that includes all or some of the entities or persons identified on Exhibit
A, but does not include any other entities or persons not identified on Exhibit A as of the date hereof); provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the ability of an Affiliate of Starboard to join the
“group” following the execution of this Agreement, so long as any such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

respect to the voting of any Ordinary Shares, other than any such voting trust, arrangement or agreement solely among the members of Starboard and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement;

“contested solicitation” for the election or removal of directors with respect to the Company or seek, knowingly encourage or take any other action with respect to the appointment, election or removal of any directors; provided,
however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Starboard or its Affiliates or Associates from taking actions in furtherance of identifying director candidates in connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting (or the 2020 Annual Meeting) if
the Standstill Period is extended in accordance with the second sentence of Section 2(d) below so long as such actions do not create a public disclosure obligation for Starboard or the Company and are undertaken on a basis reasonably designed
to be confidential and in accordance in all material respects with Starboard’s normal practices in the circumstances; 

 (v) (A) make any proposal for consideration by shareholders at any annual or
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, (B) make any offer or proposal (with or without conditions) with respect to any merger, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition or other business combination
involving the Company, (C) affirmatively solicit a third party to make an offer or proposal (with or without conditions) with respect to any merger, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition or other business combination

(i) vote its shares as Starboard determines in its sole discretion and (ii) disclose, publicly or otherwise, how it intends to vote or act with respect to any securities of the Company, any shareholder proposal or other matter to be voted
on by the shareholders of the Company and the reasons therefor (in each case, subject to Section 1(f)(iii)). 
 (c)
Nothing in Section 2(a) shall be deemed to limit the exercise in good faith by an Independent Appointee or any Additional Starboard Appointee (as applicable) of such person’s fiduciary duties solely in such person’s capacity as a
director of the Company and in a manner consistent with such person’s and Starboard’s obligations under this Agreement. 

(d) Starboard agrees that, from the initial conclusion of the Standstill Period until the earlier of (i) the date that
Starboard submits a notice to the Company of its intention to submit director nominations for the 2019 Annual Meeting and (ii) the 2019 Nomination Deadline, that, subject to the following proviso, the Standstill Period shall continue until such
earlier date (notwithstanding Section 2(a)) and neither it nor any of its controlled Affiliates or Associates will, and it will cause each of its controlled Affiliates and Associates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner, take any
action of a type set forth in Section 2(a)(i)-(viii); provided, however, that Starboard may take any actions, and engage in any activities, in furtherance of identifying and nominating a slate of director candidates for the 2019
Annual Meeting. If Starboard does not provide written notice to the Company, on or prior to the 2019 Nomination Deadline, of Starboard’s intention to submit director nominations for the 2019 Annual Meeting, then Starboard agrees that the
Standstill Period shall be extended until the earlier of (A) the date that is fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of shareholder nominations for the 2020 

 
Annual Meeting pursuant to the Articles (the “2020 Nomination Deadline”) and (B) the date that is one-hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the 2019
Annual Meeting (any such period shall be referred to as the “Standstill Period” for purposes of this Agreement), and that from the 2019 Nomination Deadline until the end of the Standstill Period as so extended neither it nor any of
its controlled Affiliates or Associates will, and it will cause each of its controlled Affiliates and Associates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner, take any action of a type set forth in Section 2(a)(i)-(viii). 

(e) If the Standstill Period is extended in accordance with Section 2(d), the Company agrees to recommend, support and
solicit proxies for the election of the Independent Appointees (including any Additional Starboard Appointee) in the same manner as for all other of the Company’s nominees at the 2019 Annual Meeting. 

(f) If the Standstill Period is extended in accordance with Section 2(d), Starboard agrees that it will appear in person
or by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and vote all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Starboard at the 2019 Annual Meeting in favor of the Company’s nominees and the Independent Appointees (including any Additional Starboard Appointee
appointed under Section 3 below, if applicable), and not in favor of any other director nominees, and Starboard shall not publicly or privately encourage or support any other shareholder to vote in favor of any other nominee at the 2019 Annual
Meeting. 
 (g) In the event Starboard notifies the Company of its intent to nominate a slate of directors for the 2019
Annual Meeting pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) following the end of the initial Standstill Period as set forth in Section 2(a), then (i) any Additional Starboard Appointee appointed pursuant to Section 3 below who is a Starboard
partner shall immediately resign from the Board, (ii) the Company will have no obligation to re-nominate the Independent Appointees or any Additional Starboard Appointee, (iii) the Operational Targets set forth under Section 3(a)
below will cease to remain in effect along with Starboard’s right to appoint any Additional Starboard Appointee or any Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee and (iv) the Standstill Period shall have terminated and expired for purposes
of this Agreement as of the date of such notification (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Standstill Period shall not be extended in accordance with the second sentence of Section 2(d)). 

(h) The Company shall set the 2019 Nomination Deadline for a date that is no earlier than the date that is ten (10) days
following the reporting of First Quarter 2019 results. The Company shall set the 2020 Nomination Deadline for a date that is no earlier than the date that is ten (10) days following the reporting of its Fourth Quarter 2019 results. The Company
shall use reasonable efforts to report its results each year within five (5) weeks following the end of each fiscal quarter. 

3. Operational Targets; Additional Starboard Appointee. 

(a) If, during the Standstill Period, the Company fails to either (A) achieve any one (1) of the three
(3) operational targets set forth below in this Section 3(a) for certain specified LTM periods (each, an “Operational Target” and, collectively, the “Operational Targets”) or (B) timely disclose
certain financial reporting information as set forth below in this Section 3(a), then Starboard will be entitled to designate an additional director for appointment to the Board to fill an existing vacancy on the Board (the “Additional
Starboard Appointee”). The Operational Targets to be used for the purposes of this Section 3(a) are as follows:1 

 
  

	 1 
	 The following Operational Targets reflect arms-length negotiated contractual agreements between the Company
and Starboard and are not, in any way, intended to be interpreted as financial guidance of the Company. The Operational Targets should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or the Board considers them to be predictive of actual future
results of the Company and should not be relied upon as such. 

 Fourth Quarter 2018 LTM – 23.5% adjusted non-GAAP operating margin target

 Second Quarter 2019 LTM – 25.5% adjusted non-GAAP operating margin target 

Fourth Quarter 2019 LTM – 28% adjusted non-GAAP operating margin target 

The Company agrees that it shall conduct its financial operations and activities in good faith during the relevant measurement
periods and not (x) engage in any non-ordinary course activity, or (y) otherwise seek to manipulate the Company’s financials, in either case during any relevant measurement period in a manner that is primarily designed to achieve any
Operational Target. If (i) the Company does not report its financial results following the end of each of the three (3) specified LTM periods on Form 10-Q or 10-K, as applicable, in a timely manner in accordance with SEC filing
requirements for such reports, (ii) in the event that the Company is unable to file any applicable Form 10-Q or 10-K in such a timely manner, the Company does not publicly disclose all financial information relevant to determine whether the
Company has achieved the applicable Operational Target for a specified LTM period (which information shall include income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements and which shall further include revenue, GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP
operating profit and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP operating profit) within the same timeframe as the SEC filing requirements for any such Form 10-K or 10-Q following the end of the relevant LTM period or (iii) the Company is required to
restate any financial information disclosed by the Company with respect to a specified LTM period under the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) and such restatement results in the Company failing to achieve the applicable Operational Target then
Starboard will be entitled to immediately designate the Additional Starboard Appointee pursuant to Section 3(a)(B) above. For the avoidance of doubt, Starboard shall be entitled to designate at most one (1) Additional Starboard Appointee
under this Section 3. Any Board designation right that may be triggered under this Section 3 shall be exercisable by Starboard for the duration of the Standstill Period as of the first business day following the date that the Company
reports its failure to achieve an Operational Target, which shall be determined as of the date the Company publicly announces earnings results or releases the relevant financial information for the applicable LTM period. 

(b) The Additional Starboard Appointee may be either Peter A. Feld (or, if Mr. Feld is unable to serve as a director, then
another Starboard partner designated by Starboard) or another individual independent of Starboard (for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination by Starboard of any person to serve on the board of another company shall not (in and of itself) cause such
person not to be deemed independent of Starboard) who meets the criteria set forth in Section 3(c) below. The Company shall only be required to appoint an Additional Starboard Appointee if at such time Starboard’s Ownership meets the
Minimum Ownership Threshold; provided, however, in the event that Starboard’s right to appoint the Additional Starboard Appointee is 

 
triggered in connection with a restatement pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii) above then Starboard’s Ownership for purposes of the Minimum Ownership Threshold shall be measured as of the
time when Starboard exercises its right to appoint the Additional Starboard Appointee and Starboard shall only have such right to appoint the Additional Starboard Appointee if it meets the Minimum Ownership Threshold as of such date. If the
Additional Starboard Appointee is one of Starboard’s partners, then such Starboard partner will be approved and appointed to the Board within five (5) business days after (1) such Starboard partner has submitted to the Company the
Onboarding Documentation and the irrevocable resignation letter pursuant to Section 3(e) below, and (2) so long as such Starboard partner qualifies as “independent” pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards. With respect
to the appointment of any Additional Starboard Appointee who is not a Starboard partner, the Parties shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 3(c) below. 

(c) If the Additional Starboard Appointee is not a partner of Starboard, such Additional Starboard Appointee must satisfy the
Director Criteria and (A) be reasonably acceptable to the Board (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) and (B) be independent of Starboard (for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination by Starboard of such person to serve on the
board of another company shall not (in and of itself) cause such person not to be deemed independent of Starboard). The Nominating Committee shall make its determination and recommendation (which it shall undertake reasonably and in good faith)
regarding whether an Additional Starboard Appointee who is not a Starboard partner meets the Director Criteria within five (5) business days after (A) such Additional Starboard Appointee candidate has submitted to the Company the
Onboarding Documentation and (B) if requested by the Board, representatives of the Board have conducted customary interview(s) of such Additional Starboard Appointee candidate. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to conduct any
interview(s) contemplated by this Section 3(c) as promptly as practicable, but in any case, assuming reasonable availability of the applicable Additional Starboard Appointee candidate, within ten (10) business days, after Starboard’s
submission of such Additional Starboard Appointee candidate. In the event the Nominating Committee does not accept an Additional Starboard Appointee candidate recommended by Starboard, Starboard shall have the right to recommend further Additional
Starboard Appointee candidate(s) whose appointment shall be subject to the Nominating Committee recommending such person in accordance with the procedures described above. Upon the recommendation of an Additional Starboard Appointee by the
Nominating Committee, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Additional Starboard Appointee to the Board no later than five (5) calendar days after the Nominating Committee’s recommendation of such Additional Starboard Appointee
and shall take all necessary actions to appoint such Additional Starboard Appointee to the Board; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such Additional Starboard Appointee to the Board pursuant to this Section 3(c),
the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this Section 3(c) until an Additional Starboard Appointee is appointed to the Board. 

(d) If any Additional Starboard Appointee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as
a director prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period, and at such time Starboard’s Ownership meets the Minimum Ownership Threshold, Starboard shall have the ability to recommend a substitute person for appointment to the Board in
accordance with this Section 3(d) (any such replacement nominee shall be referred to as a Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee and upon becoming a Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee, such person shall be deemed an Additional
Starboard Appointee for purposes 

 
of this Agreement); provided, however, if Mr. Feld is appointed to the Board as the Additional Starboard Appointee, Starboard shall be permitted to replace Mr. Feld with
another Starboard partner only if Mr. Feld is unable to serve on the Board at the time of his resignation. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, any Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee replacing the
Additional Starboard Appointee (irrespective of whether such Additional Starboard Appointee is a Starboard partner) can be either (A) a Starboard partner or (B) another individual who meets the Director Criteria. Any Replacement Additional
Starboard Appointee must satisfy the Director Criteria and, in the case of any Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee who is not a Starboard partner, must be (A) reasonably acceptable to the Board (such acceptance not to be unreasonably
withheld) and (B) independent of Starboard (for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination by Starboard of such person to serve on the board of another company shall not (in and of itself) cause such person not to be deemed independent of
Starboard). Any Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee who is replacing the Additional Starboard Appointee and who is a partner of Starboard will be approved and appointed to the Board no later than five (5) business days following the
submission of all completed Onboarding Documentation and the irrevocable resignation letter under Section 3(e) below so long as such Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee qualifies as “independent” pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market
listing standards. The Nominating Committee shall make its determination and recommendation (which it shall undertake reasonably and in good faith) regarding whether such Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee (other than any Replacement
Additional Starboard Appointee who is a Starboard partner, who is covered by the prior sentence) meets the foregoing criteria within five (5) business days after (1) such nominee has submitted to the Company the Onboarding Documentation
and (2) representatives of the Board have conducted customary interview(s) of such nominee. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to conduct any interview(s) contemplated by this Section 3(d) as promptly as practicable, but in
any case, assuming reasonable availability of the nominee, within ten (10) business days after Starboard’s submission of such nominee. In the event the Nominating Committee does not accept a person recommended by Starboard as the
Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee, Starboard shall have the right to recommend additional substitute person(s) whose appointment shall be subject to the Nominating Committee recommending such person in accordance with the procedures
described above. Upon the recommendation of a Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee nominee by the Nominating Committee, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee to the Board no later than five
(5) business days after the Nominating Committee recommendation of such Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee to the Board
pursuant to this Section 3(d), the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this Section 3(d) until a Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee is elected to the Board. Subject to Nasdaq rules and applicable law, upon a
Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee’s appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint such Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee to any applicable committee
of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal. Subject to Nasdaq rules and applicable law, until such time as any Replacement Additional Starboard Appointee is appointed to
any applicable committee, one (1) of the other Independent Appointees will serve as an interim member of such applicable committee. 

 (e) Prior to the appointment of any Additional Starboard Appointee who is a
Starboard partner, Starboard agrees to obtain from such Additional Starboard Appointee, and deliver to the Company, an irrevocable resignation letter pursuant to which the Starboard partner shall resign from the Board and all applicable committees
thereof if at any time Starboard’s Ownership of Ordinary Shares decreases to less than the Minimum Ownership Threshold. If a Starboard partner is appointed to the Board as the Additional Starboard Appointee, or a Replacement Additional
Starboard Appointee thereof, Starboard shall, upon written request by the Company, promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days) confirm that Starboard’s Ownership of Ordinary Shares continues to meet the Minimum Ownership
Threshold. 
 (f) Any Additional Starboard Appointee shall be appointed as promptly as practicable to serve on at least one
(1) committee of the Board, which such committee appointment to be determined by consultation between the Board and the Additional Starboard Appointee and subject only to the Additional Starboard Appointee satisfying any legal requirements for
service on such committee with respect to financial expertise and independence. 
 (g) Starboard agrees that the Board or any
committee thereof, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, may recuse any Additional Starboard Appointee who is a Starboard partner from any Board or committee meeting or portion thereof at which the Board or any such committee is evaluating and/or
taking action with respect to (A) the exercise of any of the Company’s rights or enforcement of any of the obligations under this Agreement, (B) any action taken in response to actions taken or proposed by Starboard or its Affiliates
or Associates with respect to the Company or (C) any proposed transaction between the Company and Starboard or its Affiliates or Associates. 

4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Starboard that (a) the
Company has the corporate power and authority to execute this Agreement and to bind it thereto, (b) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation and

generally affecting the rights of creditors and subject to general equity principles and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not and will not (i) violate or conflict with any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company, including the laws of the State of Israel or (ii) result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would
constitute such a breach, violation or default) under or pursuant to, or result in the loss of a material benefit under, or give any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any organizational document or agreement to which
the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
 5. Representations and Warranties of Starboard. Starboard
represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the authorized signatory of Starboard set forth on the signature page hereto has the power and authority to execute this Agreement and any other documents or agreements to be entered into in
connection with this Agreement and to bind Starboard thereto, (b) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Starboard, and is a valid and binding obligation of Starboard, enforceable against Starboard in accordance with
its terms, except as 

 
enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws generally affecting the rights of creditors and subject
to general equity principles, (c) the execution of this Agreement, the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof, will not conflict
with, or result in a breach or violation of the organizational documents of Starboard as currently in effect, (d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Starboard does not and will not (i) violate or conflict with any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to Starboard, or (ii) result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a breach, violation or
default) under or pursuant to, or result in the loss of a material benefit under, or give any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any organizational document, agreement, contract, commitment, understanding or
arrangement to which such member is a party or by which it is bound, (e) as of the date of this Agreement, Starboard’s Ownership is 5,466,621 Ordinary Shares, (f) as of the date hereof, Starboard does not currently have, and does not
currently have any right to acquire, any interest in any other securities of the Company (or any rights, options or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (whether or not convertible, exercisable or exchangeable immediately
or only after the passage of time or the occurrence of a specified event) for such securities or any obligations measured by the price or value of any securities of the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates, including any swaps or other
derivative arrangements designed to produce economic benefits and risks that correspond to the ownership of Ordinary Shares, whether or not any of the foregoing would give rise to beneficial ownership, and whether or not to be settled by delivery of
Ordinary Shares, payment of cash or by other consideration, and without regard to any short position under any such contract or arrangement), and (g) except pursuant to such compensation letter agreements previously entered into with the
Starboard Independent Appointees as disclosed in the Schedule 13D filed by Starboard with the SEC, as amended, Starboard will not, directly or indirectly, compensate or agree to compensate any Independent Appointee (or replacement thereof) or any
Additional Starboard Appointee who is independent of Starboard for his or her respective service as a nominee or director of the Company with any cash, securities (including any rights or options convertible into or exercisable for or exchangeable
into securities or any profit sharing agreement or arrangement), or other form of compensation directly or indirectly related to the Company or its securities. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit Starboard for compensating or
agreeing to compensate any person for his or her respective service as a nominee or director of any other company or as a partner of Starboard. 

6. Press Release. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company and Starboard shall jointly issue a
mutually agreeable press release (the “Press Release”) announcing certain terms of this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Prior to the issuance of the Press Release and subject to the terms of this
Agreement, neither the Company (including the Board and any committee thereof) nor Starboard shall issue any press release or make public announcement regarding this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of
the other Party. During the Standstill Period, neither the Company nor Starboard shall make any public announcement or statement that is inconsistent with or contrary to the terms of this Agreement. 

 7. Specific Performance. Each of Starboard, on the one hand, and the
Company, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other Party hereto would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable by the remedies available at law (including the payment of money damages). It is accordingly agreed that Starboard, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (the
“Moving Party”), shall each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the other Party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the
Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. This Section 7 is not the exclusive remedy for any violation of this Agreement. 

8. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Starboard for its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses
(including legal expenses) incurred through the date of this Agreement in connection with Starboard’s involvement at the Company, including, but not limited to its Schedule 13D filings and the negotiation and execution of this Agreement,
provided that such reimbursement shall not exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate. 
 9. Severability. If any term,
provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that the Parties would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without
including any of such which may be hereafter declared invalid, void or unenforceable. In addition, the Parties agree to use their best efforts to agree upon and substitute a valid and enforceable term, provision, covenant or restriction for any of
such that is held invalid, void or enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 10. Notices. Any notices,
consents, determinations, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (a) upon receipt, when delivered personally;

11. Applicable Law. This Agreement and all claims and causes of action hereunder, whether in tort or contract, or at law
or in equity, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel without giving effect to any other choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Israel or otherwise) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Israel. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising
hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Party hereto or its successors or assigns, whether in tort or contract or at law or in
equity, shall be brought and determined exclusively in a competent court located in Tel Aviv Jaffa. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property,
generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute, and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or
proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10 of this Agreement or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each Party agrees that it will not bring any

 
action relating to this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from
any such court. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named
courts for any reason, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment
in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient
forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding in
any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The Parties acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement limits the exercise of any director’s fiduciary
duty as a director of the Company under applicable law (including the Independent Appointees). 
 12. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party (including
by means of electronic delivery or facsimile). 
 13. Mutual Non-Disparagement. Subject to applicable law, each of the
Parties covenants and agrees that, during the Standstill Period, or if earlier, until such time as the other Party or any of its current agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key employees or directors shall have breached
this Section 13, neither it nor any of its respective current agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key employees or directors, shall in any way publicly criticize, disparage, call into disrepute or otherwise defame
or slander the other Party or such other Party’s subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers (including any current officer of a Party or a Party’s subsidiaries who no longer serves in such capacity at any time following the
execution of this Agreement), directors (including any current director of a Party or a Party’s subsidiaries who no longer serves in such capacity at any time following the execution of this Agreement), employees, shareholders, agents,
attorneys or representatives, or any of their businesses, products or services, in any manner that would reasonably be expected to damage the business or reputation of such other Party, their businesses, products or services or their subsidiaries,
affiliates, successors, assigns, officers (or former officers), directors (or former directors), employees, shareholders, agents, attorneys or representatives; provided, however, if an Additional Starboard Appointee is appointed to the
Board, if and only if such Additional Starboard Appointee is a Starboard partner, any statements regarding the Company’s operational or stock price performance or any strategy, plans, or proposals of the Company not supported by the Starboard
partner that do not disparage, call into disrepute or otherwise defame or slander any of the Company’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, attorneys or representatives (“Opposition Statements”), shall not be
deemed to be a breach of this Section 13 (subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligations of confidentiality as a director that may otherwise apply) except that any Opposition Statement will only speak to a matter that has been made
public by the Company; provided, further, that if any Opposition Statement is made by Starboard, the Company shall be permitted to publicly respond with a statement similar in scope to any such Opposition Statement. For purposes of
this Section 13, no actions taken by any director, agent or other representative of a Party in any capacity other than on behalf of, and at the direction of, such Party will be covered by this Agreement. 

 14. Confidentiality. Any Additional Starboard Appointee who is a Starboard
partner may provide confidential information of the Company which he learns in his capacity as a director of the Company, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees (collectively, “Company
Confidential Information”), to Starboard, its Affiliates and Associates and legal counsel (collectively, “Starboard Representatives”), in each case solely to the extent such Starboard Representatives need to know such
information in connection with Starboard’s investment in the Company; provided, however, that Starboard (i) shall inform such Starboard Representatives of the confidential nature of any such Company Confidential Information
and (ii) shall cause such Starboard Representatives to refrain from disclosing such Company Confidential Information to anyone (whether to any company in which Starboard has an investment or otherwise), by any means, or otherwise from using the
information in any way other than in connection with Starboard’s investment in the Company. The Starboard partner and Starboard shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, otherwise disclose any Company Confidential Information
to any other person or entity. 
 15. Securities Laws. Starboard acknowledges that it is aware, and will advise each
of its representatives who are informed as to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, that securities laws prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material, non-public information from purchasing or selling securities of such
issuer or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities, and Starboard will comply with such securities laws with
respect to the Company and its securities. 
 16. Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waiver; Successors and Assigns; Third
Party Beneficiaries; Term. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or
undertakings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement other than those expressly set forth herein. No modifications of this Agreement can be made except in writing signed by an authorized representative of each the
Company and Starboard. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by
such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. The terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, executors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns. No Party shall assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without, with respect to Starboard, the prior written consent of the Company, and with respect to the Company, the prior written consent of Starboard. The term “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words
“without limitation.” This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and is not enforceable by any other persons or entities. This Agreement shall terminate at the end of the Standstill Period (as such Standstill Period may be
extended pursuant to Section 2(d)), except the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15 and 16, which shall survive such termination; provided, however, that either Party may bring an action following such termination alleging
a breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the end of the Standstill Period.

 SECTION 102. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. 

Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the

is specifically required by any other provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than the certificate provided under
Section 1005) hereof shall include: 
 (1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read
such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

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 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, as the case may be, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, as the case may be, 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.

Indenture to be given 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 or agents 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. 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 instrument. 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 and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

(b) 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. 

(c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 

(d) 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 in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

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 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 the Holder’s 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. 
 SECTION 107.
Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is
required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that 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, the reconciliation and tie between the Trust Indenture Act and
this Indenture 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 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 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, 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. 

(a) This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York, without regard to the conflict of laws rules of such state (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law which, for the purpose of clarity, shall apply), except that

 SECTION 113. Legal Holidays. 

Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, 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) 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 shall accrue on
the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, on account of such delay. 

SECTION 114. Submission to Jurisdiction.

 SECTION 203. Form of Reverse of Security. 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued outside France
in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of [                    ],
[                    ] (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company, as issuer, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as
Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitation
of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on
the face hereof [, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to [currency]]. 
 [If applicable, insert — The Securities of this series are
subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time [on or after             , 20    ], as a whole or in part, at the
election of the Company, [at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount): [If redeemed [on or before             ,     %, and if

 and thereafter at a Redemption Price equal to     % of the principal amount, together in the case of any
such redemption with accrued interest to (but not including) the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.][at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the
Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments discounted to the date of redemption at [specify rate and margin if any].] 

This Security is also redeemable prior to Stated Maturity as permitted under Section 1108 (“Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax
Treatment”). 
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof
will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 [Any other redemption provision specified pursuant to
Section 301 with respect to this Security] 
 [If the Security is not subject to redemption, — This Security is not
redeemable prior to Stated Maturity [except as permitted under Section 1108 (“Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment”)].] 

[If the Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, — 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, — 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 of (i) the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on any overdue principal and overdue 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 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 rights of the Holders of the Securities of this series and each series to be affected
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of either (at the option of the Company) (i) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of this series or (ii) the Holders and/or
holders of a majority in principal amount of the aggregate of the Outstanding Securities of this series and all other debt securities issued under this Indenture identified by the Company as affected by the waiver, all of such Holders and holders to
be treated as a single class for such purpose. 

  
 11 

 The Indenture also contains provisions permitting (i) 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, and (ii) in certain circumstances (and at the option of the Company) Holders and/or holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series to be affected as well as all other debt securities issued under this Indenture identified by the Company as affected by the waiver, such holders and Holders being then treated as a single class, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver 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 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 reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to it, 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 shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, in each case for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security. 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 or provided for 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 premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

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 premium, if any) 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, 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 [currency][            ] and multiples of [            ] in
excess 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 of a different authorized denomination,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. This transfer or exchange will only be made if the Security Registrar is satisfied with the Holder’s proof of ownership. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee or its nominee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to Section 308 of the Indenture), whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Indenture provides that the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) will be discharged from any
and all obligations in respect of the Securities (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Securities, maintain paying agencies and hold or deposit moneys for payment in
trust and certain other obligations in respect of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Securities Registrar) or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Company deposits, in
trust, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations which, through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal (including any
mandatory sinking fund payments, if any) of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such Securities, and certain other conditions are satisfied. 

  
 12 

 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture.

 SECTION 205. Form of Legend for Global Securities. 

Any Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form or such other form as may be determined
pursuant to Section 201: 
 “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in
the name of a Depositary or a nominee of a Depositary. This Global Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and
no transfer of this Security (other than a transfer of this Security as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary) may be registered except in
such limited circumstances. 
 Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation
(“DTC”), to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of
DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge, or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the
registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.” 
 SECTION 206. Securities in Global Form.  

If Securities of a series are issuable in global form, as specified by Section 301, then, notwithstanding Section 302, any such Security shall
represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect changes in amounts outstanding. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in such amount, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 303 or Section 304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the
Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or
delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 

The provisions of the last sentence of the penultimate paragraph of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if
such Security was never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions in the form of an Officer’s Certificate upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely,
and which need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the Officer’s Certificate contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.

(15) the coin or currency (including any composite currency) in which payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and

Section 101; 
 (16) if the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of the series are to be
payable, at the election of the Company or a Holder thereof, in a coin or currency (including any composite currency) other than that in which the Securities are stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and condition

(20) any addition to or change in (including the inapplicability of any of) the Events of Default, covenants and other

(22) if Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1007 will not be payable by the Company, any changes to Section 1007
with respect to such series of Securities and any related changes to Section 1108; and 
 (23) any other terms of the
series. 
 All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and number and except as may otherwise be authorized
by the Company and set forth (or determined in the manner provided) in such Officer’s Certificates or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a
series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series; provided, that such additional Securities will be issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or be part
of a qualified reopening for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Securities may differ between series in respect of any matters. 
 If any of the terms of the
series are authorized by the Company, a copy of an appropriate record of such authorization shall be certified on behalf of the Company by the general counsel (or its Vice President Corporate Legal Affairs or Head of Securities Law and Capital
Markets), a deputy general counsel, the general secretary or an assistant general secretary of the Company, and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. 

SECTION 302. Denominations. 
 The Securities of each
series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. 

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one or more of its legal representatives, or any Persons duly authorized to do so by the Company
and attested by its general counsel (or its Vice President Corporate Legal Affairs or Head of Securities Law and Capital Markets), a deputy general counsel, its general secretary or one of its assistant general secretaries. The signature of any of
such legal representative or Person on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 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 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 have been 

  
 15 

 
authorized by the Company 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 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 

(a) if the form of such Securities has been duly authorized by the Company as permitted by Section 201, that such form has
been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b) if the terms of such Securities have been duly
authorized by the Company as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject
to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company 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 and that all conditions precedent under the Indenture have been satisfied. 

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 or this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and the second paragraph of this Section 303, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such paragraph at or prior to the time
of 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. 

A Company Order delivered in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon the written order of persons designated in such Company Order, and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with the Officer’s Certificate
referred to in Section 301 or any applicable supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in such Company Order. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security 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 of an authorized signatory upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order, and such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that such Security is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with an Officer’s Certificate (which need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, and that for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and
shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 A duplicate of each Security must be kept by the Company or the Security Registrar. 

SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the
preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, 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 in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing
such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
 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 maintained pursuant to Section 1002 

  
 16 

 
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
Trustee, upon Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor of authorized denominations. 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. 

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes
referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities 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 any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee, upon Company Order, 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 a like aggregate principal
amount and tenor. 
 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 a like aggregate principal amount, 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 Trustee,
upon Company Order, 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 shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange. 
 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 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 Sections 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) 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. 

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. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this
Section 305 for Securities registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary for such series or its nominee if, but only if, (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
such series or at any time ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, as amended, and the Company notifies the Trustee that they are unable to locate a qualified successor Depositary, (ii) the Company executes and
delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series. Any Global Security that is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in the names of each owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security as such Depositary shall identify. In connection with the

  
 17 

 
exchange of an entire Global Security for Securities registered in the names of each owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security pursuant to this paragraph, such Global Security shall be
deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest
in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of certificated Securities of authorized denominations. 
 Upon receipt by the Security
Registrar of instructions pursuant to the preceding paragraph from the Holder of a Global Security directing the Security Registrar to (a) issue one or more certificated non-global Securities in the
amounts specified to the owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security and (b) debit or cause to be debited an equivalent amount of beneficial interest in such Global Security, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depositary:

 (a) the Security Registrar shall notify the Company and the Trustee of such instructions, identifying the owner and amount
of such beneficial interest in such Global Security; 
 (b) the Company shall promptly execute, and upon Company Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to such beneficial owner certificated Securities in an equivalent amount to such beneficial interest in such Global Security; and 

(c) the Security Registrar shall decrease such Global Security by such amount in accordance with the foregoing. 

In the event that certificated non-global Securities are not issued to each such beneficial owner promptly after the
Security Registrar has received a request from the Holder of a Global Security to issue such certificated non-global Securities, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to
pursue a remedy pursuant to Sections 507 and 508 hereof, the right of any beneficial holder of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security that represents such beneficial holder’s Securities as if such
certificated non-global Securities had been issued. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (except
the immediately preceding paragraphs relating to the exchange of the Global Security for certificated non-global Securities), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for
such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary. 

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

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. 
 If
there shall be delivered to the Company 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 agent
of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order 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 principal amount 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 in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a new Security, pay such Security upon compliance with the foregoing conditions. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company 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 lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, 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 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. 

  
 18 

 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.
Each payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date or at Maturity will include interest accrued from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, or from the issue date, if none has been paid or
made available for payment, to but not including the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every
Global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Depositary for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such Global Security to the accounts
of the beneficial owners thereof. 
 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, if any payment is due on the Securities on a day that is
not a Business Day, the Company will make the payment on the day that is the next Business Day. Payments postponed to the next Business Day in this situation will be treated under the Indenture as if they were made on the original Interest Payment
Date. Postponement of this kind will not result in a default under the Securities or the Indenture, and no interest will accrue on the postponed amount from the Interest Payment Date to the next day that is a Business Day. 

The Company may from time to time appoint any person (including the Trustee, if the Trustee so agrees) to act as a calculation agent with respect to the
payment or redemption of principal, premium and interest or other amounts or calculations in respect of any Security of any series; provided that the Company may, in its sole discretion, and at any time, remove any such appointed person and appoint
any other institution to serve as such agent from time to time. All calculations made by any calculation agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders, the Company and the Trustee, absent manifest error. 

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, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company 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 shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security or such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as 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 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company 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 mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at the
Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, 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 (in New York, unless otherwise specified) on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 
 (2) The Company 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 to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

  
 19 

 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 Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee or its nominee 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 premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf
by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary or its nominee shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the Holder of such
Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of
the Depositary as Holder of any Security. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or
liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security, for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, for any
acts or omissions of a Depositary or for any transactions between a Depositary and beneficial owners. 
 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 must deliver 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 by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures or as directed by a Company Order. No cancelled Securities may be reissued or resold. 

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. Payment to Be in Proper Currency; Conversion of Judgment Currency. 

(a) In the case of the Securities of any series denominated in any currency or in a composite currency (the “Required
Currency”), except as otherwise specified with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the Company to make any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium or interest thereon, shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely holding the full amount of the
Required Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the Required Currency. The costs
and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, the Company shall remain liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency
then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful misconduct. 

(b) The Company agrees further that, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, (x) if for
the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary for the Trustee to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on the Securities of any series from the Required Currency into a currency in which
a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which, in accordance with normal banking

procedures, the Trustee could purchase the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency and (y) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (x)) in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall
result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments. 

SECTION 312. 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 any such notice may state that no representation
is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that a reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will 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 the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments 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 and thereafter repaid to the Company
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, in the case of (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee in trust for the purpose an amount, whether in moneys or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date 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 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 Officer’s 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 to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the
Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 615 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. 

  
 21 

 SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and the proceeds of any U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Sections 401 or 403 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 acting as Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the Holders of the series of Securities for the payment in respect of which such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 403 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 from time to time upon Company Request any money or
U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 403 with respect to any Securities that the Company certifies in an Officer’s Certificate (and, if requested by the Trustee, that a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants certifies in writing in a letter or certificate) delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Discharge or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect
to such Securities. 
 SECTION 403. Defeasance Upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations. 

At the Company’s option, (a) the Company shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as defined below) from its obligations with
respect to any series of Securities on the day the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied and/or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 801
or 802 or any covenant set forth in this Indenture or any indenture supplemental to this Indenture or otherwise established pursuant to Section 301, and noncompliance with such Sections or covenants shall not give rise to any Event of Default
under Section 501 (other than Section 501(1), Section 501(2) and Section 501(5)) (“Covenant Defeasance”), with respect to any series of Securities at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been
satisfied: 
 (1) the Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee or its agent in
trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and
principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), and, if requested by the Trustee, which is sufficient in the
opinion (with respect to (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including
any mandatory sinking fund payments) of and interest on, the outstanding Securities of such series on the dates such installments of interest or principal are due or to but not including the Redemption Date irrevocably designated by the Company
pursuant to subparagraph (5) hereof; 
 (2) no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time would become
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

(3) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that holders of the Securities of such
series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of the exercise of the option under this Section 403 and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised, and, only in the case of Securities being Discharged, such opinion shall be accompanied by a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to this
effect, or a revenue ruling pertaining to a comparable form of transaction published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to the same effect, or other published legal authority that is considered “substantial authority” for the tax
treatment of an item in accordance with U.S. Treas. Reg. sec. 1.6662-4(d)(3)(iii) to the same effect, pertaining to a comparable form of transaction published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to the same
effect; 
 (4) if the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations to pay or
discharge the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding Securities of a series to but not including a Redemption Date pursuant to subparagraph (1) hereof, such Redemption Date shall be irrevocably designated by the
Company, a copy of an appropriate record of such designation shall be certified on behalf of the Company by the general counsel (or its Vice President Corporate Legal 

  
 22 

 
Affairs or Head of Securities Law and Capital Markets), a deputy general counsel, the general secretary or an assistant general secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee on or prior
to the date of deposit of such money or U.S. Government Obligations and such certificate shall be accompanied by an irrevocable Company Request that the Trustee give notice of such redemption in the name and at the expense of the Company not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to such Redemption Date in accordance with Section 1104; and 
 (5) the Company
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 Discharge or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

“Discharged” (or “Discharge”) means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by,
and obligations under, the Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Securities of such series (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except (A) the rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive, from the trust fund described in clause (1) above payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and the interest on such Securities when
such payments are due, subject to the last paragraph of Section 1003; (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003; and (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities
of the Trustee hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding any Covenant Defeasance with respect to Sections 801 and 802, any corporation or Person that would
otherwise have been required to assume the obligations of the Company pursuant to said Sections shall be required, as a condition to any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, transfer, conveyance or lease contemplated thereby, to assume the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under this Indenture, including but not limited to, Sections 402 and 607. 
 ARTICLE FIVE:

 REMEDIES 
 SECTION 501.
Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of a particular 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) any amount of principal of a Security of that series is not paid on the due date
thereof and such default is not remedied within a period of 15 days from such due date; 
 (2) any amount of interest on, or
any premium on, a Security of that series is not paid on the due date thereof and such default is not remedied within a period of 30 days from such due date; 

(3) any other obligation of the Company under this Indenture is not complied with or performed within a period of 30 days from
receipt by the Company of a written notice (delivered by registered or certified mail or by express courier delivery service with signature) to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 

(4) (A) any borrowed money of the Company or of any Principal Subsidiary becomes due and repayable prematurely by reason of a
default in relation thereto and is not repaid prior to expiry of any applicable grace period or (B) any such borrowed money is not paid at maturity as extended by any applicable grace period or (C) any guarantee or indemnity in respect of
any borrowed money of a third party given by the Company or any Principal Subsidiary is not honored when due, following a demand for payment made under such guarantee or indemnity where such demand is necessary, taking into account any applicable
grace period, unless in the case of (C) hereof (x) it has been disputed in good faith that such guaranteed or indemnified third party borrowed money is due or payable or that such guarantee or indemnity is callable or that such demand for
payment is valid and such dispute has been submitted to a competent court, in which case such event shall not constitute an event of default hereunder, so long as the dispute shall not have been finally adjudicated or (y) payment under such
guarantee or indemnity is prohibited by laws of mandatory application or under an order or decision by a court or authority and provided that in the case of (A), (B) or (C) hereof, such borrowed money of the Company or such
Principal Subsidiary, or the amount of the failure to pay by the Company or the relevant Principal 

  
 23 

 
Subsidiary under such guarantee or indemnity given in respect of such third party borrowed money, is in an aggregate nominal amount of at least €250,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other
currency), unless in any such event the amount due is not paid due to circumstances affecting the making or clearing of the payment which are outside the control of the Company or the Principal Subsidiary, as the case may be, in which case such
event shall not constitute an Event of Default so long as such circumstances continue in existence; 
 (5) the Company or any
Principal Subsidiary makes any proposal for a general moratorium in relation to its debt or ceases its payments (including, without limitation, a cessation des paiements under French law) or a judgment is issued for the judicial liquidation
(including, without limitation, a liquidation judiciaire under French law) or for a transfer of the whole of the business (including, without limitation, a cession totale de l’entreprise under French law) of the Company or of any
Principal Subsidiaries or anything equivalent to such a proposal, settlement or transfer occurs with respect to the Company or any Principal Subsidiary or if the Company or any Principal Subsidiary makes a conveyance, assignment or other arrangement
for the benefit of its creditors or enters into a composition with its creditors; 
 (6) an order is made by any competent
authority or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up, liquidation or dissolution of any of the Company’s Principal Subsidiaries (otherwise than for the purposes of or pursuant to an amalgamation, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, or restructuring or other similar arrangement whilst solvent (including, without limitation, any fusion-absorption or any scission or any apport partiel d’actifs under French law)) or an order is made by any
competent authority or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up, liquidation or dissolution of the Company (otherwise than for the purposes of or pursuant to an amalgamation, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or restructuring or
other similar arrangement whilst solvent (including, without limitation, any fusion-absorption or any scission or any apport partiel d’actifs under French law)) where the entity resulting from or surviving following such
amalgamation, reorganization, merger, consolidation or restructuring or other similar arrangement, assumes or owes the obligation resulting from Securities of the series); or 

(7) the occurrence of any other Event of Default provided for with respect to Securities of that series. 

SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default 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 (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may
be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (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. 
 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 and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (1) the
Company 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 interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 
 (C)
to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful and provided for in such Securities of the series, interest upon overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor, 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. 

  
 24 

 SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company covenants that if (i) it defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof or in the
payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable, and (ii) such default continues for a period of 15 days (in the case of principal or premium) or for a period of 30 days (in the case of interest), then the
Company 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 premium, if any) and interest, and, to the extent that payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, if provided for in the Securities of the series, on any overdue interest, 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 fails 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 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 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 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. 
 SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of any such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) 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, 

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect
of the Securities in accordance with the terms thereof and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

(ii) 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. 
 Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the 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. 
 SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without
Possession of Securities. 
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities 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

  
 25 

 
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 or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article or otherwise distributable in respect of the Company’s
obligations hereunder 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 premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities 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 (including any predecessor Trustee) under Section 607; 

SECOND : To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest
on the Securities 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 premium, if any) and
interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD : To the Company. 

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 or security satisfactory to it, 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 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 premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or 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 shall be restored to its former position hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted. 

  
 26 

 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. 

Subject to Section 603(e), 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) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and 

(3) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if
the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders
and/or holders of either (at the option of the Company) (i) a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series or (ii) a majority in principal amount of the aggregate of the Outstanding Securities of any series issued
under this Indenture identified by the Company as affected by the waiver, all of such Holders and holders to be treated as a single class for such purpose, 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 and (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series; 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. 
 SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that this Section shall not be deemed to authorize any court
to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or the Trustee. 
 SECTION 515. Waiver of Stay or
Extension Laws. 
 The Company 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 stay or extension law 

  
 27 

 
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (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). 

(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) or (d) 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; and 

(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 Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as provided in the definition of “Outstanding” set forth in Section 101, and in accordance with Sections 104
and 512, in relation to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series.

 (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
personal liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk of
liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

SECTION 602. Notice of Defaults. 
 Within
90 days after the occurrence known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of all such defaults hereunder, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of
directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and
provided, further, that, in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(3) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall 

  
 28 

 
be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 601: 

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,

conclusively rely upon such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel;

request or direction; 
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

be, from the Company or any Holder of such Securities and such notice references such Securities and this Indenture; 
 (j)
the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits herein 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 as
Trustee, Security Registrar, Paying Agent (if the Trustee is acting as Paying Agent) and Authenticating Agent; 
 (k) in no
event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder caused by forces beyond its control, including, without limitation acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances,
nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of public utilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility, it being understood that the
Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to avoid any such failure or delay and to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances; 

  
 29

special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage or loss of profit of any kind whatsoever irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and 

(m) without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under applicable bankruptcy law. 

SECTION 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company
and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of any offering materials, this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or the proceeds of the Securities.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, 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 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 upon in
writing with the Company. 
 SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. 

The Company agrees: 
 (1) to pay
to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as agreed separately
by the Company and the Trustee; 
 (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; and 
 (3) to
indemnify the Trustee (and each predecessor Trustee) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder and the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers and duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
 As security for the performance of the obligations of
the Company under this Section, the Trustee (and any predecessor Trustee) shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and

 The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the

 30 

 SECTION 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall, as soon as practicable and in any
event within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if the Event of Default (as defined in Section 501 hereof) to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or otherwise eliminated
before the end of such 90-day period, either eliminate such conflicting 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 a 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, and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
state authority. If such Person 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 and to the extent permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of 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. 

(a) 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. 

(b) 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. 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 or removal, the resigning or removed Trustee
or the Company may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

(c) Subject to the requirements of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, 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. 

(d) If at any time: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company 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 by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (i) the Company may remove the Trustee with
respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act 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. 

(e) 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 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 

  
 31 

 
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be 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 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, 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. 
 (f) 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 by mailing written notice of such event by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. 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. 

(a) 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 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 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, subject nevertheless to payment of all amounts then owed to the retiring Trustee and its lien provided for in Section 607. 

(b) 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 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 or any successor Trustee, such 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, subject nevertheless, to payment of all amounts then owed to the retiring Trustee and its lien provided for in Section 607. 

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments reasonably required for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
qualified and eligible under the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 

  
 32 

 SECTION 612. Merger, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger 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 (including this transaction), shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall
be otherwise qualified under the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act 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. 

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company 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 other such obligor. 
 SECTION 614. Co-trustees and Separate Trustees. 
 At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any
applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least 331/3 % in principal amount of the
Securities then Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity
aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Company does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. 
 Should any written instrument or
instruments from the Company reasonably be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such
property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on written request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company. 
 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, except as prohibited by applicable law, be appointed subject to the following conditions: 

(a) the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of
the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee; 

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered
by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument
appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee; 

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Company, may
accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept
the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution
and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal, the Company’s joining not to be unreasonably withheld. A successor to any co-trustee or
separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section; 
 (d) except as otherwise
expressly indicated in the instrument of appointment, no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such trustee
hereunder; and, except as otherwise expressly indicated in the instrument of appointment and in any event subject to Section 601 hereof, the Trustee shall not be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other such trustee
hereunder that has been approved with due care by the Trustee; and 

  
 33 

 (e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 
 SECTION 615. Appointment of Authenticating
Agent. 
 At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee 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 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. 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 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. 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. 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 shall mail written notice of
such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. 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 Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section. 
 If an appointment with respect to 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 alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 

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

In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without
limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (“Applicable Law”), the Trustee and any other agents under this Indenture are
required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Trustee and such other agents. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Trustee
and such other agents, upon their request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable Trustee and such other agents to comply with Applicable Law.

accordance with Section 602. 
 (b) The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses

pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of said Sections, then it shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, in
accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, within such 15 day period, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports (if any) which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of
the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act;

30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations
prescribed from time to time by the Commission. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational 

  
 36 

 
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 compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 

The Company will be deemed to have filed with the Trustee and made available to Holders such reports and the other documents
and information referred to above if the Company has filed such reports, documents and information with the Commission via its EDGAR filing system and such reports, documents and information are publicly available, provided that the Trustee shall
have no obligation or responsibility to determine or investigate whether any such filings have occurred.

 ARTICLE NINE: 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 

SECTION 901. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders. 

Without the consent of any Holders, the Company 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
corporation to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Securities; or 

(2) to add to the covenants of the Company 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 

(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) in the case of subordinated Securities, to make any change in the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental
indenture relating to subordination that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of senior Securities under such provisions; provided that such change is made in accordance with the provisions of such senior Securities; 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, however, that any such addition, change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such
provision; or 
 (6) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or 

(7) 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(b); or 
 (8) 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, however, that such action shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders
of Securities of any series. 
 SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. 

With the consent of either (at the option of the Company) (i) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of a series or
(ii) the Holders and/or holders of a majority in principal amount of the aggregate of the Outstanding Securities of any series issued under this Indenture identified by the Company as affected by the supplemental indenture, all of such Holders
and/or holders to be treated as a single class for such purpose, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company 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 installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount
of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security that 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 the 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); 
 (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; 

  
 38 

 (3) impair the right of any Holder of Securities to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or after the due date; or 
 (4) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513
or Section 1006, 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 1006, or the deletion of this proviso,
in accordance with the requirements of Sections 611(b) and 901(8). 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision
of this Indenture in respect of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more particular series of Securities 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. 
 With respect to one or more series of Securities, the
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, establish a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly
designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that unless such consent shall have become
effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no
effect. 
 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, in addition to the documents required by Section 102 (if any), an Opinion of Counsel and an
Officer’s Certificate 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.

matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company, to any such supplemental Indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Company and such Securities may be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 

  
 39 

 ARTICLE TEN: 

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF COMPANY 

SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest by Company. 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. Principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (other than the
Company) holds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date money deposited by the Company designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts then due. 

SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency by Company. 

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 the 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 or where such notices or demands may be served 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. 
 SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in
Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of (and premium, if any) 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 premium, if any) or 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 (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due,
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: 
 (i)
comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent; and 
 (ii) during the continuance
of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, 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 such series. 
 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, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the 

  
 40 

 
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published
on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 SECTION 1004. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article Eight, the Company will preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 

SECTION 1005. Statement by Executive Officer as to Compliance. 

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 180 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof and with respect to such
fiscal year, an Executive Officer’s Certificate (which need not comply with the requirements of Section 102), stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company has complied with all conditions and covenants on
its part contained in this Indenture, and if such signers have obtained knowledge of any default by the Company in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any such condition or covenant in respect of such fiscal year, specifying all such
defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. For the purpose of this Section 1005, such compliance with the terms, conditions and covenants of the Indenture shall be determined without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder. 
 SECTION 1006. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant set forth in any indenture
supplemental to this Indenture or otherwise established pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities (as described below) shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and
effect. 
 With respect to any series of Securities issued under this Indenture, a waiver of compliance with this Indenture can be obtained at the option of
the Company from either (i) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series or (ii) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the aggregate of the Outstanding Securities of any series issued
under this Indenture identified by the Company as affected by the waiver, all of such holders and Holders to be treated as a single class for such purpose. 

With respect to any series of Securities, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, establish a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons
entitled to waive any such term, provision or condition. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any such term, provision or condition hereunder,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that unless the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of one or more series shall have waived such term,
provision or condition prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no effect. 

SECTION 1007. Additional Amounts. 
 Unless otherwise
specified in any Officer’s Certificate of the Company or supplemental indenture setting forth the terms of Securities of a series in accordance with Section 301, the Company will make all payments of principal and interest on the
Securities 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 within the Republic of France (or, if the Company changes its
jurisdiction of organization or residency for tax purposes, the jurisdiction in which the Company is organized or resident for tax purposes or in the case of a successor entity of the Company, any jurisdiction in which such successor entity is
organized or resident for tax purposes) or any jurisdiction through which the Company makes payments on the Securities (or, in either case, any tax authority therein) (each, as applicable, a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), unless such
withholding or deduction is 

  
 41 

 
required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In the event that any such withholding or deduction is so required, the Company or any successor entity, as the
case may be, will make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as
will result in receipt by the Holders of such amounts as would have been received by the Holders had no such withholding or deduction been required by the Relevant Jurisdiction, except that no Additional Amounts will be payable for or on account of:

 (A) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the
existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and
the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction (other than the mere holding of the Security), including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor,
beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein; or (ii) the
presentation of a Security of such series (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever
occurs later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting it for payment on the thirtieth such day); 

(B) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, duty, assessment or other governmental
charge; 
 (C) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from
payments of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the Securities of such series; 
 (D) any tax, duty,
assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series to comply with the Company’s reasonable request (i) to provide information
concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which in each case of the foregoing
(i) or (ii) is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge; 

(E) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder or beneficial owner would have been able to avoid
by presenting such Security to another Paying Agent; or 
 (F) any combination of items (A), (B), (C), (D) and
(E) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series 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 the Republic of France 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 such Security. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions,
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 payment of any related coupon 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 (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made. 
 If the terms of the Securities of a series established as contemplated by Section 301 do not specify
that Additional Amounts pursuant to the Section will not be payable by the Company, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior
to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in
the relevant Officer’s Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officer’s Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent
or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any 

  
 42 

 
premium or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series without withholding for or on account of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental
charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer’s Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities
and shall certify that the Company has paid such withholding to the appropriate taxing authority and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent or Paying Agents the Additional Amounts required by this Section. 

The Company shall, prior to the due date for the payment thereof, pay any such tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge, together with any
penalties or interest applicable thereto. Within 15 days after paying such tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge, or applicable penalties or interest, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, the evidence of such payment and of the
remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority. 
 The Company covenants to indemnify each of the Trustee and any Paying Agent
for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section, except to
the extent that any such loss, liability or expense is due to its own negligence or bad faith. 
 SECTION 1008. Negative Pledge. 

In respect of any series of unsubordinated Outstanding Securities only, so long as any Security of such unsubordinated Outstanding Securities series is
outstanding, the Company undertakes not to create or permit to subsist any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien (other than a lien arising by operation of law) or other encumbrance or security interest over any or all of its present or future assets or
revenues (i) to secure any Relevant Indebtedness issued by it or (ii) to secure any guarantee or indemnity given by it of any Relevant Indebtedness issued by others without (a) at the same time or prior thereto securing such
unsubordinated Outstanding Securities equally and ratably therewith or (b) providing such other security for such unsubordinated Outstanding Securities as shall be approved by an Act of the Holders holding at least a majority of the principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of each affected series. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this section 1008 shall not limit or prevent
the Company from taking any action authorized under this Indenture, including in particular any action pursuant to Section 401 or Section 403. 

ARTICLE ELEVEN: 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article. 
 Securities
of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

 SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an appropriate record of authorization by the Company with respect to such election
or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 45 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 and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 

SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, on a
pro-rata basis or, as long as the Securities are in the form of global securities, in 

  
 43 

 
accordance with DTC’s procedures and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series)
of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. 
 The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be
redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for
such Security). 
 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. 

SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of
redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. 

All notices of redemption shall state: 

(1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the Redemption Price or, if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof; 

(3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security 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, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to
be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed; 
 (4) 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; 

(5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 

(6) the CUSIP or ISIN numbers, if any, assigned to such Securities; provided, however, that such notice may state that
no representation is made as to the correctness of CUSIP or ISIN numbers, in which case none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any liability in respect of the use of any CUSIP or ISIN number or numbers
on such notices, and the redemption of such Securities shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers; and 

(7) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or appropriate. 

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. 
 SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or 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 in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the 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) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in
accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to but not 

  
 44 

 
including the Redemption Date (unless, for the purpose of clarity, such Redemption Price already includes such accrued interest to but not including the Redemption Date); provided, however,
that installments 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
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 premium, if any) 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 duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or
Securities of the same series, 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 surrendered; provided, that if a
Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. 

SECTION 1108. Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment. 

With respect to each series of Securities, if, by reason of any change in, or any change in the official application or interpretation of, the laws or treaties
(including any rulings or regulations thereunder) of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company or any successor thereto or of which the Company or any successor thereto is a resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, affecting taxation or any change in an application or interpretation of such laws either generally or in relation to any particular series of Securities, which change to such laws or application or interpretation
thereof becomes effective after the date of issuance of such series of Securities (or in the case of a successor of the Company, the date on which such person assumed its obligations under Article Eight hereof) or which change to such laws or
application or interpretation is notified to the Company (or successor) on or after such date, the Company (or successor) would on the occasion of the next payment of principal or interest due in respect of the Securities, not be able to make such
payment without having to pay Additional Amounts as specified under Section 1007 above, and such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company (or successor) taking reasonable measures available to it, the Company (or successor) may, at its
option, on any Interest Payment Date or, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, at any time, subject to having given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Holders (which notice shall
be irrevocable), in accordance with Section 1104, redeem all, but not some only, of the Securities at their Redemption Price together with, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, any
interest accrued to the Redemption Date (including, where applicable, any Defaulted Interest) provided that the Redemption Date of which notice hereunder may be given shall be no earlier than 90 days before the latest practicable date on which the
Company (or successor) could make payment of principal and interest without withholding for such taxes in its jurisdiction of incorporation or residency for tax purposes. 

Before the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 1108, the Company (or successor) shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company (or successor) is entitled or required to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right, or the requirements, as the case may be,
of the Company (or successor) so to redeem have occurred, and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company (or successor) has or will become obliged to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment in the laws or
official application or interpretation thereof of the jurisdiction of incorporation or residency for tax purposes of the Company (or successor). 
 The
Redemption Price payable in respect of any Security upon its redemption pursuant to this Section 1108 shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (except in the case of any series of Outstanding Original Issue Discount Securities
which may be redeemed at the Redemption Price specified by the terms of such series). 
 SECTION 1109. Redemption at the Option of the Company.

 The provisions of this Section 1109 shall only be applicable to a series of Securities if such applicability is specified pursuant to
Section 301. 

  
 45 

 The Company will have the right to redeem the Securities of any series, in whole or in part from time to time, at
the Company’s option, on at least 30 days’ but no more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed to the registered Holders of such series of Securities to be redeemed. Upon redemption of the Securities, the Company will pay a
redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of principal and interest thereon
(excluding interest accrued to the Redemption Date) of the Securities to be redeemed, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus the Applicable Redemption Margin (as defined below) for the Securities to be redeemed, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but not
including) the Redemption Date and certified as to amount to the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate. 
 For the purposes of the foregoing: 

“Applicable Redemption Margin” means a number of basis points as specified pursuant to Section 301 for Securities of any series. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated
maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual
or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a
comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury
Dealers appointed by the Company to act as such. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date (1) the average of
the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and the lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, or (2) if fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations are obtained, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of the Reference Treasury Dealers specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of any series (or their respective affiliates that are primary U.S. Government securities dealers), and their respective successors, or if at any time any of the above is not a primary U.S. Government
securities dealer, one other nationally recognized primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City designated by the Company. 
 “Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotation” means with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and ask prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in
each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing or by email to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, with respect to each Security to be redeemed, the
remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect
to such Security, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date. 

The notice of redemption will state any conditions applicable to a redemption and the amount of Securities of any series to be redeemed. If less than all the
Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis or, as long as the Securities are in the form of global securities, in accordance with DTC’s
procedures. 
 Except as described under Section 1108 or as specified pursuant to Section 301, the Securities will not otherwise be redeemable by
the Company at the Company’s option prior to maturity. 

  
 46 

 SECTION 1110. Redemption in Connection with Tender Offer. 

The provisions of this Section 1110 shall only be applicable to a series of Securities if such applicability is specified pursuant to Section 301.

 In connection with any tender for the Securities, if Holders of not less than 80% in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly
tender and do not withdraw such Securities in such tender offer and the Company, or any other Person making such tender offer, purchases all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon
notice given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to such tender offer, to redeem all of the Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to Holders of the series in such tender
offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date. 
 SECTION 1111.
Purchases of Securities. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, the Company or its Affiliates may, from time to
time, purchase any Securities either in the open market at prevailing prices for such Securities at such time or in private transactions at a negotiated price with the Holder or Holders thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to
tender offers or exchange offers).
