	 	(6)	 the principal of and any premium or interest on any Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose at the
Corporate Trust Office of The Bank of New York Mellon (London Branch), as London paying agent (the “London Paying Agent”), pursuant to the Paying Agency Agreement entered 

	 	
into in respect of the Notes (the “Paying Agency Agreement”), dated March 13, 2015, between the Company and the London Paying Agent. The London Paying Agent is currently
located at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom; 

  

	 	(7)	Prior to December 13, 2021 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 2022 Notes), the 2022 Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time
and from time to time at a redemption price, as determined by the Company, equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments
(as defined below) of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below), plus 15 basis points, plus accrued interest
thereon to the date of redemption. 

 On or after December 13, 2021 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled
maturity date of the 2022 Notes), the Company may redeem some or all of the 2022 Notes, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022
Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. The Company shall calculate the redemption price. 
 Prior to
December 13, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 2027 Notes), the 2027 Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption
price, as determined by the Company, equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of principal and
interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below), plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. 

On or after December 13, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 2027 Notes), the Company may
redeem some or all of the 2027 Notes, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to
the date of redemption. The Company shall calculate the redemption price. 

 “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for each
series of Notes, 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 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 (as defined below) 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 bank selected by the Company. 

“Comparable Government Bond” means, with respect to each series of Notes, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate
calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes to be redeemed, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion
determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Company, determine to
be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each
series of Notes 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; 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 deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date. 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with procedures of Clearstream Banking, société
anonyme (“Clearstream”) and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear” and together with Clearstream, the “Depositary”) at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the series of
Notes to be redeemed. 

 Unless the Company defaults in payment of the applicable redemption price, on and after the
redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 If less than all of any series of
Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes of the series to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with applicable depositary procedures. 

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 in the United States), 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 March 6, 2015, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts (as described below in Section 1.01(18)) with respect
to the Notes, then the Company may at any time at the Company’s option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together
with accrued and unpaid interest (including any additional amounts) on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption; 
  

	 	(8)	not applicable; 

  

	 	(9)	the Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of €100,000, and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof; 

  

	 	(10)	All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption of the Notes, will be payable in euro. Any outstanding payments of principal or interest due pursuant to this Indenture will be payable
in euro and will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for euro, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 

If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control
or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted or that adopt the single currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on
European Union, (other than Greece) or for the settlement of 

 
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will 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 euro will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for euro, as determined by the Company in its sole
discretion. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Notes, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture. In no event, shall the Trustee be responsible for obtaining any foreign
currency rate or otherwise effecting any conversions; 
  

	 	(11)	not applicable; 

  

	 	(12)	not applicable; 

  

	 	(13)	not applicable; 

  

	 	(14)	the Notes shall be subject to Sections 13.02 (Defeasance) and 13.03 (Covenant Defeasance) of the Indenture; 

  

	 	(15)	(a) the Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities; (b) the Depositary for such Global Securities shall be Clearstream and Euroclear; and (c) the procedures with respect to transfer and
exchange of Global Securities shall be as set forth in the Indenture; 

  

	 	(16)	not applicable; 

  

	 	(17)	 If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes as described above, the Company shall
be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to €1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in the Notes. In
a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (a
“Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may
constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) to Holders of the Notes describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of

	 	
Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the applicable notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from
the date such notice is mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the
Depositary’s procedures) prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the applicable Change of Control
Payment Date. 

 On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

(A)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable
Change of Control Offer; 
 (B)    deposit with the London Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of
Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (C)    deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. 

The Company shall 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 an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the
Company shall not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

 The Company shall 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 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations
conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the 

 
Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions herein by virtue of any such
conflict. 
 “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the direct or indirect sale, lease,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s 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 Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock
is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (iii) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the
Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such
transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person or any direct or indirect
parent company of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (iv) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or (v) the adoption of
a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. The term “Person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event. 

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (i) was

Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy
statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).

“Rating Agencies” means (i) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (ii) if either Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate

Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be. 

“Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the Notes are rated below an Investment
Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any day during the period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) commencing
60 days prior to the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control. The Trustee shall have no

	 	(18)	Any Add-On Securities to the Notes shall be fungible with the previously outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes or be issued under a different CUSIP number. 

The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, payment as additional interest on the Notes of either series such
additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net amount of the principal of and interest on the Notes received by a beneficial owner who is not a “United States person” (as defined below), after withholding or deduction for any
present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount that would have been received by such beneficial owner if such tax had not been
withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply: 

(A)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed by reason of the Holder (or the beneficial
owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder or beneficial owner if the Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person

portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or 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; 
 (C)    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; 
 (D)    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;

principal of or interest on any Note, if the Holder or beneficial owner would have been able to avoid such withholding by presenting the Note (where presentation is required) to another available paying agent; 

 (I)    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; 
 (J)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or
withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank (i) purchasing the Notes in the ordinary course of its lending business or (ii) that is neither (A) buying the Notes for investment purposes only nor (B) buying the
Notes for resale to a third-party that either is not a bank or holding the Notes for investment purposes only; 

(K)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any
amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted

person under any applicable Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.
