  5.Compensation and Related Matters.

   

  (a)Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Employee a base salary at the annual rate of not less than Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD $350,000.00), such base salary shall be earned monthly and payable “on a salary basis” under applicable federal law (“Base Salary”).

Payment of all compensation to the Employee hereunder shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable Company policies in effect from time to time, including normal payroll practices, and shall be subject to all applicable withholdings and taxes.

   

  (b)Annual review. Employee will review Compensation as identified in Paragraphs 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c), with the Chief Executive Officer and/or Compensation Committee no less than annually and as fully defined in Exhibit 3 (as updated annually). Upon review, if Salary is less than 10% of the comparable Benchmarked Companies, the Compensation Committee will make a good faith effort to increase compensation accordingly.

   

  (c)Cash Bonus. The Employee shall be entitled to receive a discretionary bonus based on the annual gross margin of the Company and other benchmarks that may be identified by the CEO and ratified by the Compensation Committee (the “Bonus”). Payment of the Bonus is conditioned on compliance with applicable law, and shall be payable to the Employee (i) only if the Employee has not breached the terms of this Agreement, (ii) is performing their job duties satisfactorily, which will be deemed the case so long as the Employee has not received documented negative performance feedback, and (iii) only if the Employee continues to be employed by the Company on the date of determination of the Bonus as well as on the date of payment thereof. Any Bonus shall be paid at such time as the Company customarily pays bonuses. The bonus percentage(s) shall be determined by the CEO and ratified by the Compensation committee and as referenced in Exhibit 3 (as updated annually) but shall be no less than 30% of Base Salary.

   

  (d)Restricted Stock Units. Company will grant Employee Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) as incentive compensation.

In no case will the Company be obligated to pay the employee such amount for any other circumstance. If Employee’s RSUs will vest during a blackout period, the Company shall withhold the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be vested with Employee having a fair market value equal to the tax withholding obligations and shall make such required tax payment on behalf of Employee.

   

  (e)Employee Benefits and Perquisites. During the Employment Term, the Employee will be entitled to: (i) participate in the Company’s long-term disability, and health

Guarantee
Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the due and punctual payment of all obligations of OFHP under the Euro Notes Indenture and the Euro notes, whether for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or any Additional Amounts (as defined below), on the Euro notes or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise. The guarantees will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital and will rank equally with all of their other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
Each of Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital may, by execution and delivery to the trustee of a supplemental indenture, be released from their respective guarantees upon the sale or other transfer of no less than a majority of its capital stock or of all or substantially all of its assets to an entity that is not Omnicom Group Inc. or a subsidiary of Omnicom Group Inc. and which sale or other transfer is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the Euro Notes Indenture (including, with respect to Omnicom Group Inc., the assumption by any successor person of Omnicom Group Inc.’s obligations with respect to the guarantee of the Euro notes and the Euro Notes Indenture), which release shall be effective without any action on the part of the trustee or any holder of the Euro notes. In addition, upon the redemption, defeasance, retirement or any other discharge in full of all of the Original Omnicom Capital Notes or if at any time Omnicom Capital no longer guarantees or co-issues any of the Original Omnicom Capital Notes, then Omnicom Capital may, by execution and delivery to the trustee of a supplemental indenture, be released from its guarantee of either series of the Euro notes, which release shall be effective without any action on the part of the trustee or any holder of the Euro notes.
As used herein, the term “Original Omnicom Capital Notes” means together the (i) 6.25% Senior Notes due 2019, (ii) 4.45% Senior Notes due 2020, (iii) 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022, (iv) 3.65% Senior Notes due 2024 and (v) 3.60% Senior Notes due 2026, in each case issued by Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital. 
Payments in Euro
Initial holders were required to pay for the Euro notes in euro, and all payments of interest, principal and premium, if any, including payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of the Euro notes of either series, will be payable in euro. If, on or after June 24, 2019, the euro is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Economic and 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 Euro notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated 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 (the “market exchange rate”). Any payment in respect of the Euro notes of either series so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Euro notes of such series or the Euro Notes Indenture. Neither the trustee nor the paying agent for the Euro notes has any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.
Holders of the Euro notes are subject to foreign exchange risks as to payments of principal and interest that may have important economic and tax consequences to them.
Business Day
For purposes of the Euro 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.
Optional Redemption
Prior to April 8, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the 2027 notes) and prior to April 8, 2031 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the 2027 notes) (each, a “par call date”), the 2027 notes and the 2031 notes, respectively, are redeemable, as a whole or in part, at OFHP’s option, at any time or from time to time, upon mailed notice (or electronic notice, as applicable) to the registered address of each holder of 

Euro notes of such series at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption. The redemption price will be equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Euro notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on such Euro notes discounted to the date of redemption, on an annual basis (assuming an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) day count fraction), at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points with respect to the 2027 notes and 30 basis points with respect to the 2031 notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker.
On or after the applicable par call date, each series of the Euro notes will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at OFHP’s option, at any time or from time to time, upon mailed notice (or electronic notice, as applicable) to the registered address of each holder of such Euro notes at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an Independent Investment Banker, a bond that is a direct obligation of the Federal Republic of Germany (“German government bond”), whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Euro notes to be redeemed, or if such 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 three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by such Independent Investment Banker, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Euro notes 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.
“Independent Investment Banker” means an investment bank of international standing appointed by us.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Euro note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption calculated as if the maturity date of such note was the applicable par call date; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, such redemption date.
On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Euro notes or any portion of the Euro notes called for redemption (unless we default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). On or before any redemption date, we will deposit with the paying agent (or the trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Euro notes to be redeemed on such date.
If less than all of the Euro notes of either series are to be redeemed, the notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate, subject to the procedures of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) as to global notes.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon Change of Control Triggering Event
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) with respect to a series of Euro notes, unless OFHP has exercised its option to redeem such series of the Euro notes as described under “ -Optional Redemption,” each holder of Euro notes of such series will have the right to require OFHP to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s Euro notes pursuant to a change of control offer described below (a “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the right of holders of Euro notes of such series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
Within 30 days following the date upon which OFHP becomes aware that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred with respect to a series of Euro notes, or at OFHP’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, OFHP will be required to send, by first class mail or electronic delivery, a notice to each holder of Euro notes of such series, with a copy to the trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed or delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

OFHP will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by OFHP and such third party purchases all Euro notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
To the extent that OFHP is required to offer to repurchase the Euro notes of a series upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to such series, it may not have sufficient funds to purchase the Euro notes of such series in cash at such time. In addition, OFHP’s ability to purchase the Euro notes of such series for cash may be limited by law or the terms of other agreements relating to its indebtedness outstanding at the time. The failure to make such purchase would result in a default under the Euro notes of such series.
OFHP will be required to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Euro notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Euro Notes Indenture and the Euro notes, OFHP will be required to comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Euro Notes Indenture and the Euro notes by virtue of any such compliance. 
On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Euro Notes Indenture provides that OFHP will, to the extent lawful:
•accept for payment all Euro notes or portions of Euro notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
•deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Euro notes or portions of Euro notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and
•deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the Euro notes properly accepted together with an officer’s certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Euro notes or portions of notes being repurchased.
“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” occurs if both the rating on the applicable series of Euro notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and such Euro notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the applicable series of notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of Omnicom Group Inc. and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to Omnicom Group Inc. or one of its subsidiaries;
(2) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than Omnicom Group Inc. or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Omnicom Group Inc.’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or
(3) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of Omnicom Group Inc.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i) Omnicom Group Inc. becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following such transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Omnicom Group Inc.’s Voting Stock immediately prior to such transaction.
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of Omnicom Group Inc. and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Euro notes of either series to require OFHP to repurchase such Euro notes as a result of a sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition 

of less than all of the assets of Omnicom Group Inc. and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.
“Change of Control Triggering Event” with respect to a series of Euro notes means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event with respect to such series.
“Investment Grade” means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories) by Moody’s and BBB- (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories) by S&P, or, in each case, if such Rating Agency ceases to rate the applicable series of Euro notes or fails to make a rating of such Euro notes publicly available for reasons outside of OFHP’s and Omnicom Group Inc.’s and Omnicom Capital’s control, the equivalent investment grade credit rating by the replacement agency selected by OFHP in accordance with the procedures described below.
“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.
“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the applicable series of Euro notes or fails to make a rating of the applicable series of Euro notes publicly available for reasons outside of OFHP’s and Omnicom Group Inc.’s and Omnicom Capital’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by OFHP as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.
“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, and its successors.
“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any person, capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such person, even if the right so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency.
Payment of Additional Amounts
Unless otherwise required by law, none of OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital will deduct or withhold from payments made by OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital under or with respect to the Euro notes or the related guarantees on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction (“Taxes”). In the event that OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Euro notes or the related guarantees, as the case may be, OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, as the case may be, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of the Euro notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted.
Additional Amounts will not be payable with respect to a payment made to a holder of Euro notes or a holder of beneficial interests in global securities where such holder is subject to taxation on such payment by a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for or on account of:
•any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Euro notes) or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner of, or possessor of a power over, such holder (or beneficial owner) if such holder (or beneficial owner) is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity:
•is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Taxing Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment in the Taxing Jurisdiction (in each case, other than the mere fact of ownership of such Euro notes, without another presence or business in such Taxing Jurisdiction);
• has or had any present or former connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of such Euro notes) with the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof or being or having been physically present therein;
• (in relation to payments by Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital only) is or was a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign private foundation or other foreign tax exempt organization or corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or
• (in relation to payments by Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital only) actually or constructively owns or owned 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of any of Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
• Taxes imposed on any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Euro notes, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the 

fiduciary, a beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner, or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;
• any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Euro notes, except as otherwise provided in the Euro Notes Indenture;
• any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Euro notes (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 is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had the Euro notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;
• any Taxes imposed or withheld solely as a result of the failure of such holder or any other person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, or identity of such holder or connection with any Taxing Jurisdiction by such holder, if such compliance is required by statute, regulation, ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by any applicable tax treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes;
• any Taxes that are payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital or any paying agent from payments in respect of such Euro notes;
• any Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of any Euro notes if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;
• any withholding or deduction required pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreement, or any law, rule, guidance or administrative practice implementing an intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with such sections of the Code; or
• any combination of the above conditions.
Each of OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital, as applicable, also:
• will make such withholding or deduction of Taxes;
• will remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable laws;
• will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld; and
• upon request, will make available to the holders of the Euro notes, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital or if, notwithstanding OFHP’s, Omnicom Group Inc.’s or Omnicom Capital’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Euro notes of either series or related guarantees is due and payable, if OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital will deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and such other information as is necessary to enable the trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to holders of such Euro notes on the payment date. 
In addition, OFHP will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in the United Kingdom or the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Euro notes.
The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination or the discharge of the Euro Notes Indenture and shall apply to any jurisdiction in which OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital or any successor to OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, as the case may be, is organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political subdivisions or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.
Whenever in the Euro Notes Indenture, any Euro notes or the related guarantees there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Euro notes, such mention includes the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent payable in the particular context.

Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes
OFHP may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Euro notes of either series at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date and Additional Amounts, if any, under the following conditions: 
•if there is an amendment to, or change in, the laws, regulations, rulings or treaties of the United Kingdom, the United States or other jurisdiction in which OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital or, in each case, any successor thereof (including a successor person formed by a consolidation with OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, into which OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital is merged, or that acquires or leases all or substantially all of the property and assets of OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital) may be incorporated, organized, or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or engaged in business for tax purposes, as applicable, or any political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties, including any action taken by, or a change in published administrative practice of, a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction, regardless of whether such action, change or holding is with respect to OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital;
• as a result of such amendment or change, OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital becomes, or there is a substantial probability that OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next payment date with respect to the Euro notes of such series (but, in the case of Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital who can make such payment without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts);
• the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided through OFHP’s, Omnicom Group Inc.’s or Omnicom Capital’s commercially reasonable measures, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent, but not including substitution of the obligor of the Euro notes;
• OFHP delivers to the trustee:
• a certificate of OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, as the case may be, stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, as the case may be, taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; and
• a written opinion of independent tax counsel to OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, as the case may be, of recognized standing to the effect that OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, as the case may be, has, or there is a substantial probability that it will become obligated, to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above; and
• following the delivery of the certificate and opinion described in the previous bullet point, OFHP provides notice of redemption not less than 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date of redemption. The notice of redemption cannot be given more than 60 days before the earliest date on which OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital would otherwise be, or there is a substantial probability that it would otherwise be, required to pay Additional Amounts.
Upon the occurrence of each of the bullet points above, OFHP may redeem the Euro notes of such series at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

Listing
The 2027 notes and the 2031 notes are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “OMC/27” and “OMC/31”, respectively.
Defeasance
The Euro Notes Indenture provides OFHP may specify with respect to any series of Euro notes that after OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital has deposited with the trustee, cash or government securities, in trust for the benefit of the holders sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on and any mandatory 

sinking fund payments in respect of the Euro notes of such series when due, then OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital:
•will be deemed to have paid and satisfied their obligations on all outstanding Euro notes of such series, which is known as “defeasance and discharge”; or
•will cease to be under any obligation, other than to pay when due the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of such Euro notes, relating to the Euro notes of such series, which is known as “covenant defeasance.”
In each case, OFHP or Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital must also deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the Euro notes of such series will have no United States federal income tax consequences as a result of such deposit.
When there is a defeasance and discharge, with limited exceptions, (1) the Euro Notes Indenture will no longer govern the Euro notes of such series, (2) none of OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital will be liable for payment, and (3) the holders of the Euro notes will be entitled only to the deposited funds. When there is a covenant defeasance, however, OFHP will continue to be obligated to make payments when due if the deposited funds are not sufficient.
For purposes of the Euro notes, “government securities” means securities denominated in euro that are (i) direct obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany, the payments of which are supported by the full faith and credit of the German government or (ii) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the Federal Republic of Germany the timely payments of which are unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation of the German government, which, in either case under clauses (i) or (ii) are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof.
Modification of the Indenture
Under the Euro Notes Indenture, OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc., Omnicom Capital and the trustee may enter into supplemental indentures without obtaining the consent of any holder of Euro notes:
• to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
• to comply with the Euro Notes Indenture’s provisions regarding successor corporations;
• to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Euro Notes Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended;
• to provide for global notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;
• to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Euro Notes Indenture with respect to any series of Euro notes; although no such addition, change or elimination may apply to any series of Euro notes created prior to the execution of such amendment and entitled to the benefit of such provision, nor may any such amendment modify the rights of a holder of any such Euro notes with respect to such provision, unless the amendment becomes effective only when there is no outstanding Euro note of any series created prior to such amendment and entitled to the benefit of such provision;
• to secure the Euro notes of any series or any guarantee thereof;
• to add an additional guarantor of any series of Euro notes;
• to add to OFHP’s, Omnicom Group Inc.’s or Omnicom Capital’s covenants or obligations under the Euro Notes Indenture for the protection of the holders of the Euro notes or surrender any right, power or option conferred by the Euro Notes Indenture on OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital;
• to make any change that does not materially adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights of any holder; or
• to establish additional series of Euro notes as permitted by the Euro Notes Indenture.
OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc., Omnicom Capital and the trustee may, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of the Euro notes, modify the Euro Notes Indenture or the rights of the holders of the Euro notes of the series to be affected. No modifications may, without the consent of the holder of the Euro notes, be made that, as to any non-consenting holders:
• reduce the percentage of Euro notes whose holders need to consent to the modification;
• reduce the rate or change the time of payment of interest on the Euro notes;
• reduce the principal amount of or the premium, if any, on the Euro notes;
• change the fixed maturity of any of the Euro notes;
• reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund;
• reduce the principal amount payable upon acceleration of the maturity of any Euro notes issued originally at a discount;

• waive a default in the payment of the principal amount of, the premium, if any, or any interest on the Euro notes;
• change the currency in which any of the Euro notes are payable;
• impair the right to sue for the enforcement of any payment on or after the maturity of the Euro notes; 
• release Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital from their obligations in respect of the guarantee of any series of Euro notes or modify Omnicom Group Inc.’s or Omnicom Capital’s obligations thereunder other than in accordance with the provisions of the Euro Notes Indenture; or
• waive a redemption payment with respect to the Euro notes.
Events of Default
The Euro Notes Indenture provides that events of default regarding any series of Euro notes are:
• failure to pay required interest on any note of such series for 30 days;
• failure to pay principal, other than a scheduled installment payment, or premium, if any, on any note of the series when due;
• failure to make any required deposit of any sinking fund payment when due;
• failure to perform for 60 days after notice any other covenant in the Euro Notes Indenture (other than a covenant included in the Euro Notes Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of notes other than such series);
• (A) OFHP’s, Omnicom Group Inc.’s or Omnicom Capital’s failure to make any payment by the end of any applicable grace period after maturity of their respective indebtedness, which term as used in this clause means obligations (other than nonrecourse obligations) of OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital, as applicable, for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments in an amount (taken together with amounts in (B)) in excess of $100 million and continuance of such failure, or (B) the acceleration of their respective indebtedness in an amount (taken together with the amounts in (A)) in excess of $100 million because of a default with respect to such indebtedness without such indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled in case of (A) or (B) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice to OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital by the trustee or to OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc., Omnicom Capital and the trustee by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Euro notes of that series; however, if any such failure or acceleration referred to in (A) or (B) above shall cease or be cured or be waived, rescinded or annulled in accordance with the terms of the applicable series of Euro notes, then the event of default by reason thereof shall be deemed not to have occurred;
• Omnicom Group Inc.’s guarantee applicable to that series of Euro notes ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void or Omnicom Group Inc. denies that it has any further liability under its guarantee of such Euro notes to the holders of that series of Euro notes, or has given notice to such effect (other than by reason of the release of such guarantee in accordance with the Euro Notes Indenture), and such condition shall have continued for a period of 30 days after written notice has been given to OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital by the trustee or to OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc., Omnicom Capital and the trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Euro notes of that series;
• certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, whether voluntary or not; or
•any other event of default described in the Euro Notes Indenture.
If an event of default (other than the bankruptcy provision) regarding any series of Euro notes issued under the Euro Notes Indenture should occur and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of 25% in the principal amount of outstanding Euro notes of such series may declare each Euro note of that series due and payable. If a bankruptcy event occurs, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Euro notes of such series shall immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the Euro notes of such series. The holders of a majority in principal amount of Euro notes of such series may rescind any other declaration or acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing events of default have been cured or waived (other than nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely as a result of acceleration). OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital are required to file annually with the trustee a statement of an officer as to the fulfillment by OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. and Omnicom Capital of their respective obligations under the Euro Notes Indenture during the preceding year.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Euro notes of any series will be entitled to control certain actions of the trustee under the Euro Notes Indenture. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Euro notes of any series also will be entitled to waive past defaults regarding the series, except for a default in payment of principal, premium or interest or a default in a covenant or provision which may not be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of a Euro note of the affected series. The trustee generally 

may not be ordered or directed by any of the holders of Euro notes to take any action, unless one or more of the holders shall have offered to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing regarding a series of Euro notes, the trustee may use any sums that it holds under the Euro Notes Indenture for its own reasonable compensation and expenses incurred prior to paying the holders of Euro notes of such series.
Before any holder of any series of Euro notes may institute action for any remedy, except payment on the holder’s Euro notes when due, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Euro notes of that series outstanding must request the trustee to take action. Holders must also offer and give the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against liabilities incurred by the trustee for taking such action.
Book-Entry; Delivery and Form
The information in this section concerning Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their book-entry systems and procedures has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but none of OFHP, Omnicom Group Inc. or Omnicom Capital takes any responsibility for the accuracy of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing systems in this section reflects OFHP’s understanding of the rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as they are currently in effect. Those clearing systems could change their rules and procedures at any time.
Each series of the Euro notes were initially represented by one or more fully registered global notes without interest coupons. Each such global note was deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary, and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Except as described herein, certificates will not be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the global notes.
Except as set forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or their respective nominees. Holders may hold their interests in the global notes through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Beneficial interests in the global notes are in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers’ securities accounts in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg’s names on the books of their respective depositaries. Book-entry interests in the Euro notes and all transfers relating to the Euro notes will be reflected in the book-entry records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. The address of Euroclear is 1 Boulevard Roi Albert II, 1210 Brussels, Belgium, and the address of Clearstream, Luxembourg is 42 Avenue JF Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
The distribution of the Euro notes was cleared through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Any secondary market trading of book-entry interests in the notes will take place through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants and will settle in same-day funds. Owners of book-entry interests in the Euro notes will receive payments relating to their notes in euro, except as otherwise set forth in the Euro Notes Indenture.
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have established electronic securities and payment transfer, processing, depositary and custodial links among themselves and others, either directly or through custodians and depositaries. These links allow the Euro notes to be issued, held and transferred among the clearing systems without the physical transfer of certificates. Special procedures to facilitate clearance and settlement have been established among these clearing systems to trade securities across borders in the secondary market.
The policies of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to the investor’s interest in the Euro notes held by them. We have no responsibility for any aspect of the records kept by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any of their direct or indirect participants. We also do not supervise these systems in any way.
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their participants perform these clearance and settlement functions under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers. Investors should be aware that they are not obligated to perform or continue to perform these procedures and may modify them or discontinue them at any time.
Certificated Notes
If the depositary for any of the Euro notes of a series represented by a registered global note is at any time unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for the registered global note of such series and a successor is not appointed by OFHP within 90 days, OFHP will issue Euro notes of such series in definitive form in exchange for the registered global note of such series that had been held by the depositary. Any Euro notes of a series issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global note of such series will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the trustee or other relevant agent of the trustee. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global note of such series that had been held by the depositary.

Guarantee
Omnicom Group Inc. has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the due and punctual payment of all obligations of OCHP under the Sterling Notes Indenture and the Sterling notes, whether for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or any Additional Amounts (as defined below), on the Sterling notes or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise. The guarantees will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Omnicom Group Inc. and will rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
Payments in Sterling
Initial holders were required to pay for the Sterling notes in Sterling, and all payments of interest, principal and premium, if any, including payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of the Sterling notes, will be payable in Sterling. If, on or after November 17, 2021, the Sterling is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control or if the Sterling is no longer being used by the United Kingdom as its currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Sterling notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the Sterling is again available to us or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Sterling will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/Sterling exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date (the “market exchange rate”). Any 

payment in respect of the Sterling notes of either series so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Sterling notes or the Sterling Notes Indenture. Neither the trustee nor the paying agent for the Sterling notes has any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.
Holders of the Sterling notes are subject to foreign exchange risks as to payments of principal and interest that may have important economic and tax consequences to them.
Business Day
For purposes of the Sterling notes, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday, 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.
Optional Redemption
Prior to August 22, 2033 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Sterling notes (the “par call date”)), the Sterling notes are redeemable, as a whole or in part, at OCHP’s option, at any time or from time to time, upon mailed notice (or electronic notice, as applicable) to the registered address of each holder of Sterling notes at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption. The redemption price will be equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Sterling notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on such Sterling notes discounted to the date of redemption, on an annual basis (assuming an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) day count fraction), at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker.
On or after the par call date, the Sterling notes will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at OCHP’s option, at any time or from time to time, upon mailed notice (or electronic notice, as applicable) to the registered address of each holder of such Sterling notes at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an Independent Investment Banker, a bond that is a direct obligation of the United Kingdom, whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Sterling notes to be redeemed, or if such Independent Investment Banker in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other UK government bond as such Independent Investment Banker may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, UK government bonds selected by such Independent Investment Banker, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the yield to maturity, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, of the applicable comparable government bond on the basis of the middle market price of such comparable government bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment banker selected by us.
“Independent Investment Banker” means an investment bank of international standing appointed by us.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Sterling note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption calculated as if the maturity date of such Sterling note was the par call date; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Sterling note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, such redemption date.
On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Sterling notes or any portion of the Sterling notes called for redemption (unless we default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). On or before any redemption date, we will deposit with the paying agent (or the trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Sterling notes to be redeemed on such date.
If less than all of the Sterling notes are to be redeemed, the Sterling notes to be redeemed shall be selected by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate, subject to the procedures of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) as to global notes.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon Change of Control Triggering Event
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below), unless OCHP has exercised its option to redeem the Sterling notes as described under “—Optional Redemption,” each holder of Sterling notes will have the right to require OCHP to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s Sterling notes pursuant to a change of control offer described below (a “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the 

principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the right of holders of Sterling notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Within 30 days following the date upon which OCHP becomes aware that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, or at OCHP’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, OCHP will be required to send, by first class mail or electronic delivery, a notice to each holder of Sterling notes, with a copy to the trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed or delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
OCHP will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by OCHP and such third party purchases all Sterling notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
To the extent that OCHP is required to offer to repurchase the Sterling notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, it may not have sufficient funds to purchase the Sterling notes in cash at such time. In addition, OCHP’s ability to purchase the Sterling notes for cash may be limited by law or the terms of other agreements relating to its indebtedness outstanding at the time. The failure to make such purchase would result in a default under the Sterling notes.
OCHP will be required to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Sterling notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Sterling Notes Indenture and the Sterling notes, OCHP will be required to comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Sterling Notes Indenture and the Sterling notes by virtue of any such compliance. 
On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Sterling Notes Indenture provides that OCHP will, to the extent lawful:
•accept for payment all Sterling notes or portions of Sterling notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
•deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Sterling notes or portions of Sterling notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and
•deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the Sterling notes properly accepted together with an officer’s certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Sterling notes or portions of Sterling notes being repurchased.
“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” occurs if both the rating on the Sterling notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and such Sterling notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Sterling notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of Omnicom Group Inc. and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to Omnicom Group Inc. or one of its subsidiaries;

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than Omnicom Group Inc. or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Omnicom Group Inc.’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or
(3) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of Omnicom Group Inc.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i) Omnicom Group Inc. becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following such transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Omnicom Group Inc.’s Voting Stock immediately prior to such transaction.
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of Omnicom Group Inc. and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Sterling notes to require OCHP to repurchase such Sterling notes as a result of a sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of Omnicom Group Inc. and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.
“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.
“Investment Grade” means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories) by Moody’s and BBB- (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories) by S&P, or, in each case, if such Rating Agency ceases to rate the Sterling notes or fails to make a rating of such Sterling notes publicly available for reasons outside of OCHP’s and Omnicom Group Inc.’s control, the equivalent investment grade credit rating by the replacement agency selected by OCHP in accordance with the procedures described below.
“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.
“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Sterling notes or fails to make a rating of the Sterling notes publicly available for reasons outside of OCHP’s and Omnicom Group Inc.’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by OCHP as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.
“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, and its successors.
“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any person, capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such person, even if the right so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency.
Payment of Additional Amounts
Unless otherwise required by law, none of OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. will deduct or withhold from payments made by OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. under or with respect to the Sterling notes and the guarantee on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction (“Taxes”). In the event that OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Sterling notes or the related guarantee, as the case may be, OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., as the case may be, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of Sterling notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted.
Additional Amounts will not be payable with respect to a payment made to a holder of Sterling notes or a holder of beneficial interests in global securities where such holder is subject to taxation on such payment by a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for or on account of:
• any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Sterling notes) or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner of, or possessor of a power over, such holder (or beneficial owner) if such holder (or beneficial owner) is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity:
• is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Taxing Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment in the Taxing Jurisdiction (in each case, other than the mere fact of ownership of such Sterling notes, without another presence or business in such Taxing Jurisdiction);

• has or had any present or former connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of such Sterling notes) with the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof or being or having been physically present therein;
• (in relation to payments by Omnicom Group Inc. only) is or was a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign private foundation or other foreign tax exempt organization or corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or
• (in relation to payments by Omnicom Group Inc. only) is or was a “10-percent shareholder” of Omnicom Group Inc. within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any successor provisions;
• Taxes imposed on any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Sterling notes, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner, or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;
• any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Sterling notes, except as otherwise provided in the Sterling Notes Indenture;
• any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Sterling notes (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 is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had the Sterling notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;
• any Taxes imposed or withheld solely as a result of the failure of such holder or any other person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, or identity of such holder or connection with any Taxing Jurisdiction by such holder, if such compliance is required by statute, regulation, ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by any applicable tax treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes;
• any Taxes that are payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. or any paying agent from payments in respect of such Sterling notes;
• any Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of the Sterling notes if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent in the United States or the United Kingdom;
• any withholding or deduction required pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreement, or any law, rule, guidance or administrative practice implementing an intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with such sections of the Code; or
• any combination of the above conditions.
Each of OCHP and Omnicom Group Inc., as applicable, also:
• will make such withholding or deduction of Taxes;
• will remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable laws;
• will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld; and
• upon request, will make available to the holders of the Sterling notes, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. or if, notwithstanding OCHP’s or Omnicom Group Inc.’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Sterling notes or related guarantee is due and payable, if OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. will deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and such other information as is 

necessary to enable the trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to holders of such Sterling notes on the payment date. 
In addition, OCHP will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in the United Kingdom or the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Sterling notes.
The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination or the discharge of the Sterling Notes Indenture and shall apply to any jurisdiction in which OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. or any successor to OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., as the case may be, is organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political subdivisions or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.
Whenever in the Sterling Notes Indenture, any Sterling notes or the related guarantee there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Sterling notes, such mention includes the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent payable in the particular context.
Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes
OCHP may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Sterling notes of either series at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date and Additional Amounts, if any, under the following conditions: 
• if there is an amendment to, or change in, the laws, regulations, rulings or treaties of the United Kingdom, the United States or other jurisdiction in which OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. or, in each case, any successor thereof (including a successor person formed by a consolidation with OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., into which OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. is merged, or that acquires or leases all or substantially all of the property and assets of OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc.) may be incorporated, organized, or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or engaged in business for tax purposes, as applicable, or any political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties, including any action taken by, or a change in published administrative practice of, a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction, regardless of whether such action, change or holding is with respect to OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc.;
• as a result of such amendment or change, OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. becomes, or there is a substantial probability that OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next payment date with respect to the Sterling notes (but, in the case of Omnicom Group Inc., only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. who can make such payment without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts);
• the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided through OCHP’s or Omnicom Group Inc.’s commercially reasonable measures, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent, but not including substitution of the obligor of the Sterling notes;
• OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., as the case may be:
• delivers to the trustee a certificate of OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., as the case may be, stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., as the case may be, taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; and
• based upon a written opinion of independent tax counsel to OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., as the case may be, of recognized standing to the effect that OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., as the case may be, has, or there is a substantial probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above; and
• following the delivery of the certificate and opinion described in the previous bullet point, OCHP provides notice of redemption not less than 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date of redemption. The notice of redemption cannot be given more than 60 days before the earliest date on which OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. would otherwise be, or there is a substantial probability that it would otherwise be, required to pay Additional Amounts.
Upon the occurrence of each of the bullet points above, OCHP may redeem the Sterling notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

Listing
The Sterling notes are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “OMC/33”.
Defeasance
The Sterling Notes Indenture will provide that OCHP may specify with respect to the Sterling notes that after OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc. has deposited with the trustee, cash or government securities, in trust for the benefit of the holders sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Sterling notes when due, then OCHP and Omnicom Group Inc.:

• will cease to be under any obligation, other than to pay when due the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of such debt securities, relating to the Sterling notes, which is known as “covenant defeasance.”

• to make any change that does not materially adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights of any holder; or
• to establish additional series of Sterling notes as permitted by the Sterling Notes Indenture.
OCHP, Omnicom Group Inc. and the trustee may, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Sterling notes, modify the Sterling Notes Indenture or the rights of the holders of the Sterling notes. No modifications may, without the consent of the holder of the Sterling notes, be made that, as to any non-consenting holders:
• reduce the percentage of Sterling notes whose holders need to consent to the modification;

• reduce the rate or change the time of payment of interest on the Sterling notes;

• (A) OCHP’s or Omnicom Group Inc.’s failure to make any payment by the end of any applicable grace period after maturity of their respective indebtedness, which term as used in this clause means obligations (other than nonrecourse obligations) of OCHP or Omnicom Group Inc., as applicable, for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments in an amount (taken together with amounts in (B)) in excess of $100 million and continuance of such failure, or (B) the acceleration of their respective indebtedness in an amount (taken together with the amounts in (A)) in excess of $100 million because of a default with respect to such indebtedness without such indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled in case of (A) or (B) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice to OCHP and Omnicom Group Inc. by the trustee or to OCHP, Omnicom Group Inc., and the trustee by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Sterling notes ; however, if any such failure or acceleration referred to in (A) or (B) above shall cease or be cured or be waived, rescinded or annulled in accordance with the terms of the Sterling notes, then the event of default by reason thereof shall be deemed not to have occurred;
• Omnicom Group Inc.’s guarantee applicable to the Sterling notes ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void or Omnicom Group Inc. denies that it has any further liability under its guarantee of the Sterling notes to the holders of such Sterling notes, or has given notice to such effect (other than by reason of the release of such guarantee in accordance with the Sterling Notes Indenture), and such condition shall have continued for a period of 30 days after written notice has been given to OCHP and Omnicom Group Inc. by the trustee or to OCHP, Omnicom Group Inc. and the trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Sterling notes;
• certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, whether voluntary or not; or
•any other event of default described in the Sterling Notes Indenture.
If an event of default (other than the bankruptcy provision) regarding any series of Sterling notes issued under the Sterling Notes Indenture should occur and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of 25% in the principal amount of outstanding Sterling notes may declare the Sterling notes due and payable. If a bankruptcy event occurs, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Sterling notes shall immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the Sterling notes. The holders of a majority in principal amount of Sterling notes may rescind any other declaration or acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing events of default have been cured or waived (other than nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely as a result of acceleration). OCHP and Omnicom Group Inc. are required to file annually with the trustee a statement of an officer as to the fulfillment by OCHP and Omnicom Group Inc. of their respective obligations under the Sterling Notes Indenture during the preceding year.

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Sterling notes will be entitled to control certain actions of the trustee under the Sterling Notes Indenture. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Sterling notes also will be entitled to waive past defaults regarding the Sterling notes, except for a default in payment of principal, premium or interest or a default in a covenant or provision which may not be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of the Sterling notes. The trustee generally may not be ordered or directed by any of the holders of Sterling notes to take any action, unless one or more of the holders shall have offered to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing regarding the Sterling notes, the trustee may use any sums that it holds under the Sterling Notes Indenture for its own reasonable compensation and expenses incurred prior to paying the holders of Sterling notes.
Before any holder of the Sterling notes may institute action for any remedy, except payment on the holder’s Sterling notes when due, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Sterling notes outstanding must request the trustee to take action. Holders must also offer and give the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against liabilities incurred by the trustee for taking such action.
