PROLOGIS EURO FINANCE LLC
 1.000% NOTES DUE 2035

 

PROLOGIS EURO FINANCE LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term shall include any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to USB Nominees (UK) Limited, or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of SIX HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION EUROS (€650,000,000) on February 6, 2035 and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount thereon at the rate of 1.000% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

 

Interest shall accrue from February 6, 2020 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and be payable annually in arrears on February 6 of each year, commencing on February 6, 2021.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest which shall be January 22 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.  Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Markets Association) day count convention.  If any Interest Payment Date, maturity date or earlier date of

 

1

 

redemption falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, that maturity date or that date of redemption, as the case may be, until the next Business Day.  For purposes of the notes, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (1) which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or London are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and (2) on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the TARGET2 system), or any successor thereto, is open.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

 

Payment of the principal of, or premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, and interest on this Security shall be made at the office or agency maintained for such purpose in London, initially the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, located at 125 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1AR, United Kingdom, in euros.

 

Payments of principal of, premium or Redemption Price, if any, and interest in respect of this Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in euros.  If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Securities shall be made in U.S. Dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used.  In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into U.S. Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date, or if the Board of governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in our sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date that payment is due.  Any payment in respect of this Security so made in U.S. Dollars shall not constitute an event of default under the Indenture.  Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent (as defined below) shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.  “Market Exchange Rate” means the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of euros as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2018 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis, L.P. (herein called the “Parent Guarantor,” which term includes any successor under the Indenture) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Security is a part), as amended by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of August 1, 2018 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee, Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, as paying agent (hereinafter called the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any successor paying agent under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

 

Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of  (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 20 basis points; plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Securities are redeemed on or after November 6, 2034, the Redemption Price shall be 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.

 

The following definitions apply with respect to the foregoing redemption provisions:

 

“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an Independent Investment Banker, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Securities to be redeemed, or if the Independent Investment Banker in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such Independent Investment Banker may, with the advice of the Reference Bond Dealers, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

 

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price (i.e., yield), expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Securities to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an Independent Investment Banker.

 

3

 

“Independent Investment Banker” means an independent investment bank that the Company appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time.

 

“Reference Bond Dealer” means three firms that are brokers of, and/or market makers in German government bonds (each a “Primary Bond Dealer”) which the Company specifies from time to time; provided, however, that if any of them ceases to be a Primary Bond Dealer, the Company shall substitute another Primary Bond Dealer.

 

The Securities are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Securities.  Except as specifically provided for herein, the Company shall not be required to make any payment for any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

 

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after January 28, 2020, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to the Securities, then the Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities to, but not including, the Redemption Date.  Notice of any redemption shall be transmitted to Holders not more than 60 nor less than 15 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

 

All payments in respect of the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Company 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 the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.  If such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Company shall, subject to certain exceptions provided for in the Indenture, pay to a Holder who is not a United States person (as defined in the Indenture) such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) on the Securities as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company or a paying agent of the principal of, and premium or Redemption Price, if any, and interest on, the Securities to such Holder, after such withholding or deduction, shall not be less than the amount provided in the Securities to be then due and payable.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of, and premium or Redemption Price, if any, on, all of the Securities of

 

4

 

this series at the time Outstanding may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, unless the principal of all of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall already have become due and payable, 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 and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

 

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 each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected thereby.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 

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, premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, 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 of Payment where the principal of, premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, 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, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

5

 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 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.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Except as provided in Article Sixteen of the Indenture, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, member, partner, director, officer, employee, agent thereof or trustee, as such, of the Company or any Guarantor or of any successor thereof, either directly or through the Company or any Guarantor or any successor thereof, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities of this series.

 

THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such Securities.  No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities of this series, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned hereby, jointly and severally with any other Guarantors, unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the accompanying 1.000% Notes due 2035 (the “Euro Note”) issued by Prologis Euro Finance LLC (the “Company”) under an Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2018 (together with the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, the “Indenture”) among the Company, Prologis, L.P., as parent guarantor, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee thereunder (the “Trustee”), and Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, as paying agent, (a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and premium or Redemption Price, if any, on such Note when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and (b) the full and prompt payment of the interest on such Note when and as the same shall become due and payable, according to the terms of such Note and of the Indenture.  In case of the failure of the Company punctually to pay any such principal, premium or interest, the undersigned hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.  The undersigned hereby agrees, jointly and severally with any other Guarantors, that its obligations hereunder shall be as principal and not merely as surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected, modified or impaired by the following: (a) the failure to give notice to the Guarantors of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture; (b) the waiver, surrender, compromise, settlement, release or termination of the payment, performance or observance by the Company or the Guarantors of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of either of them contained in the Indenture or the Euro Notes; (c) the acceleration, extension or any other changes in the time for payment of any principal of or interest or any premium on any Euro Note or for any other payment under the Indenture or of the time for performance of any other obligations, covenants or agreements under or arising out of the Indenture or the Euro Notes; (d) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any obligation, covenant or agreement set forth in the Indenture or the Euro Notes; (e) the taking or the omission of any of the actions referred to in the Indenture and in any of the actions under the Euro Notes; (f) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Trustee to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on the Trustee in the Indenture, or any other action or acts on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders from time to time of the Euro Notes; (g) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Guarantors or the Company or any of the assets of any of them, or any allegation or contest of the validity of this Guarantee in any such proceeding; (h) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the Guarantors from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture; (i) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the Company from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture; (j) the default or failure of the Company or the Trustee fully to perform any of its obligations set forth in the Indenture or the Euro Notes; (k) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Indenture or the Euro Notes or any part of any thereof; (l) any judicial or governmental action affecting the Company or any Euro Notes or consent or indulgence granted to the Company by the Holders or by the Trustee; or (m) the recovery of any judgment against

 

10

 

the Company or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.  The undersigned hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger, sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Notice or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note and in this Guarantee.

 

No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the undersigned, which is absolute and unconditional, of the full and prompt payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Euro Note.

 

THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Euro Note shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to above by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers.  The validity and enforceability of this Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.

 

An Event of Default under the Indenture or the Euro Notes shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the undersigned hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the undersigned hereby waives any claims or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence or performance of its obligations under this Guarantee (all such claims and rights are referred to as “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.  Guarantor hereby agrees not to exercise any rights which may be acquired by way of contribution under this Guarantee or any other agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to such undersigned party at any time when the indebtedness shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless of when such amount is paid to such undersigned party, any payment made by the Company to a Holder that is at any time determined to be a Preferential

 

11

 

Payment (as defined below), then such amount paid to the undersigned shall be held in trust for the benefit of Holder and shall forthwith be paid to such Holder to be credited and applied upon the indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured.  Any such payment is herein referred to as a “Preferential Payment” to the extent the Company makes any payment to Holder in connection with the Euro Note, and any or all of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise.

 

To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be enforceable, the undersigned agrees that until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, Guarantor’s Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to Holders’ right to full payment and performance of the indebtedness and the undersigned shall not enforce any of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company or the undersigned to Holders may be determined to be a Preferential Payment.

 

The obligations of the undersigned to the Holders of the Euro Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to this Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article Sixteen of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of this Guarantee and all of the other provisions of the Indenture to which this Guarantee relates.

 

Capitalized terms used in this Guarantee which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

PROLOGIS EURO FINANCE LLC

 

OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE

 

February 6, 2020

 

The undersigned officers of Prologis Euro Finance LLC (the “Company”), acting pursuant to the written consent of the Trustee of Prologis, which is the sole member of the Company, on January 28, 2020, hereby establish a series of debt securities by means of this Officers’ Certificate in accordance with the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2018 (the “Base Indenture,” and as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, the “Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis, L.P., as parent guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Officers’ Certificate shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

 

Floating Rate Notes due 2022

 

1.             The series shall be entitled the “Floating Rate Notes due 2022” (the “Notes”) and shall be a series of Euro Notes as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture.

 

2.             The Notes initially shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of €150,000,000 (except in each case for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of or within the Series pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 or 1305 of the Base Indenture); provided, the Company may increase such aggregate principal amount upon the action of the Board of Directors to do so from time to time.

 

3.

 

a.              The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is payable at maturity on February 6, 2022.

 

b.              The per annum interest rate on the Notes in effect for each day of an Interest Period (as defined below) shall be equal to the Applicable Rate (as defined below) plus 28 basis points, provided, however, that in no event shall the interest rate be less than zero. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from and including February 6, 2020, or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest on the Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on February 6, May 6, August 6 and November 6 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on May 6, 2020. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name the Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth (15) calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each a “Regular Record Date”). The interest rate on the Notes shall be set on February 6, May 6, August 6 and November 6 of each year, and shall be set for the initial Interest Period on February 6, 2020 (such date, an “Interest Reset Date”) until the principal on the Notes is paid or made available for payment (the “Principal Payment Date”). If any Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date would otherwise

 

 

be on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day, unless the next succeeding Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

 

c.               “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, (1) which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or London are generally authorized or obligated by law to close, and is a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (“TARGET2”), or any successor thereto, operates.

 

d.              “Interest Period” shall mean the period from and including an Interest Reset Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Reset Date and, in the case of the last such period, from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the maturity date or Principal Payment Date, as the case may be, to, but excluding, such maturity date or Principal Payment Date, as the case may be. If the Principal Payment Date or maturity date is not a business day, then the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, shall be paid on the next succeeding business day and no interest shall accrue for the maturity date, Principal Payment Date or any day thereafter.

 

e.               The “Applicable Rate” shall mean the rate determined in accordance with the following provisions:

 

i.      Two prior TARGET2 days on which dealings in deposits in euros are transacted in the euro-zone interbank market preceding each Interest Reset Date (each such date, an ‘‘Interest Determination Date’’), Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, (the ‘‘Calculation Agent’’), as agent for the Company, shall determine the Applicable Rate which shall be the rate for deposits in euro having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date. ‘‘Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page’’ means the display designated on page ‘’EURIBOR01’’ on Reuters (or such other page as may replace the EURIBOR01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying euro-zone interbank offered rates for euro-denominated deposits of major banks). If the Applicable Rate on such Interest Determination Date does not appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page, the Applicable Rate shall be determined as described in the immediately succeeding subparagraph.

 

2

 

ii.   With respect to an Interest Determination Date for which the Applicable Rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as specified in the immediately preceding subparagraph, the Applicable Rate shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in euro are offered by four major banks in the euro-zone interbank market selected by the Company (the ‘‘Reference Banks’’) at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the euro-zone interbank market having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. The Company shall request the principal euro-zone office of each of such Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the Applicable Rate on such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Applicable Rate on such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of the rates quoted by three major banks in the euro-zone selected by the Company at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in euro to leading European banks, having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the relevant interest rate for the Interest Period commencing on the Interest Reset Date following such Interest Determination Date shall be the interest rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date (i.e., the same as the rate determined for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date).

 

f.                Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/360 day count convention.

 

g.               Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, or the reference to EURIBOR becomes illegal, or most other debt obligations similar to the Notes have converted away from EURIBOR to a new reference rate, the Calculation Agent will use, as directed in writing by the Company, as a substitute for EURIBOR for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate (the “Alternative Rate”) selected by a central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) that is consistent with accepted market practice regarding a substitute for EURIBOR. As part of such substitution, the Calculation Agent will, as directed in writing by the Company, make such adjustments (“Adjustments”) to the Alternative Rate and/or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Rates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the floating rate notes. If the Company determines there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced EURIBOR in customary market usage, the Company may appoint an independent financial advisor (the “IFA”) to determine an appropriate Alternative Rate, and any Adjustments, and the decision of the IFA will be binding on the Company, the

 

3

 

Calculation Agent, the Trustee and Holders. If, however, the Company determines that EURIBOR has been discontinued, but for any reason an Alternative Rate has not been determined, the rate of EURIBOR for the next interest period will be equal to such rate on the Interest Determination Date when EURIBOR was last available on Reuters Page EURIBOR01, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

 

4.             The Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and notices or demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, located at 125 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1AR, United Kingdom.  The principal of the Notes payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption shall be paid against presentation and surrender of the Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent.

 

5.             The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, prior to January 6, 2022, at the option of the Company, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 15 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

 

In addition, if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after January 28, 2020, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, shall become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes, then the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price (the “Tax Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but not including, the Redemption Date.  Notice of any redemption shall be transmitted to Holders not more than 60 nor less than 15 days prior to the Redemption Date.

 

If notice of redemption has been given as provided in the Base Indenture and the preceding two paragraphs, and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in such notice, such Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date and the only right of the Holders of the Notes from and after the Redemption Date shall be to receive payment of the Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, as applicable, upon surrender of such Notes in accordance with such notice.

 

6.             All payments in respect of the Notes shall be made by or on behalf of the Company 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 the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Company shall, subject to certain exceptions provided for herein, pay to a holder who is not a United States person such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) on the Notes as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company or the Paying Agent of the principal of, and premium or Redemption Price, if any, and interest on, the Notes to such holder, after such withholding or deduction, shall not be less than the

 

4

 

amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:

 

(i)            to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the holder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

 

(a)           being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States or having or having had a qualified business unit which has the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency;

 

(b)           having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights thereunder) or being considered as having such relationship, including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

(c)           being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or a foreign personal holding company that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

 

(d)           being or having been an owner of a 10% or greater interest in the capital or profits of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision; or

 

(e)           being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business;

 

(ii)           to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

 

(iii)          to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

5

 

(iv)          to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or a paying agent from the payment;

 

(v)           to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

(vi)          to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(vii)         to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and that is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings;

 

(viii)        to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

 

(ix)          to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

(x)           to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and related Treasury regulations, pronouncements relating thereto or official interpretations thereof or any successor provisions, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, any applicable intergovernmental agreement entered into between the United States and any other governmental authority in connection with the implementation of the foregoing and any regulations or official law, agreement or interpretations thereof implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or

 

(xi)          in the case of any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x).

 

The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this Paragraph 6, the Company shall not be required to make any payment for any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

 

7.             The Notes shall not provide for any sinking fund or analogous provision.  None of the Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Holder.

 

8.             The Notes shall be issuable in registered form in the form set out in Exhibit A of the First Supplemental Indenture without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

 

6

 

9.             The principal amount of, and the Tax Redemption Price, if any, on, the Notes shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Base Indenture.

 

10.          The Notes shall be denominated in and principal of or interest on the Notes (or Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) shall be payable in euros.  If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes shall be made in U.S. Dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euros shall be converted into U.S. Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. Dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate shall be determined in the Company’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for euros. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. Dollars shall not constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.

 

11.          Except as provided in Paragraphs 3 and 5 of this Officers’ Certificate, the amount of payments of principal of or interest on the Notes (or Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) shall not be determined with reference to an index or formula.

 

12.          Except as set forth herein, in the Indenture or in the Notes, none of the principal of or interest on the Notes (or Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) shall be payable at the election of the Company or a Holder thereof in a currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies other than that in which the Notes are denominated or stated to be payable.

 

13.          Except as set forth in the Indenture or the Trust Indenture Act, the Notes shall not contain any provisions granting special rights to the Holders of Notes upon the occurrence of specified events.

 

14.          The Notes shall not contain any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the Events of Default or covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture.

 

15.          Except as set forth herein, in the Indenture or in the Notes, the Notes shall not be issued in the form of bearer Securities or temporary global Securities.

 

16.          Sections 1402 and 1403 of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes.

 

17.          The Notes shall not be issued upon the exercise of debt warrants.

 

18.          Article Sixteen of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes.

 

7

 

19.          The other terms and conditions of the Notes shall be substantially as set forth in the Indenture, in the Prospectus dated August 24, 2018 and the Prospectus Supplement dated January 28, 2020 relating to the Notes.
