Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), which will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis as to principal, premium, if any, and interest (the “Guarantees” and together with the Notes, the

( the “Indenture”), dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2), among the Company, the Guarantors, Deutsche Trustee Company Limited, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch,
as Principal Paying Agent, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as Transfer Agent and Registrar. 
 The Notes will be issued only in the form
of global notes registered in the name of a common depositary for EuroClear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking société anonyme (“Clearstream”), or a nominee of such common depositary. This
Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Indenture are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents” and the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated herein and therein are hereinafter referred to as the “Transactions.” 
 The Notes (and the related
Guarantees) will be offered and sold through the Initial Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with the exemption
from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The Initial Purchasers have advised the Company that they will
offer and sell the Notes purchased by them hereunder in accordance with Section 3 hereof as soon as the Representative deems advisable. 

Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Company will conduct a tender offer for up to €300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount
of its outstanding 5.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in that certain Tender Offer Memorandum dated September 11, 2017 (such tender offer, the “Tender Offer”). 

 In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company has prepared a preliminary offering
memorandum, dated September 11, 2017 (including the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Preliminary Memorandum”), an Offering Memorandum (as defined below) and a Final Memorandum (as defined below). The Final
Memorandum, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum are each referred to herein as a “Memorandum.” Each Memorandum sets forth certain information concerning the Company, the Guarantors, the Securities, the Transaction
Documents and the Transactions. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, and any amendment or supplement thereto, in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes by the
Initial Purchasers. 
 Prior to the time when the sales of the Notes were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company has
prepared and delivered to the Initial Purchasers a pricing supplement (the “Pricing Supplement”), dated September 11, 2017. In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company has prepared an electronic road show (the
“Company Additional Written Information”). The Pricing Supplement together with the Preliminary Memorandum is referred to herein as the “Offering Memorandum.” 

Promptly after the Time of Sale, and in any event no later than the second business day following the Time of Sale, the Company will prepare
and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a Final Offering Memorandum , dated the date hereof (including the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Final Memorandum”), which will consist of the Preliminary Memorandum with

No. 2271/96 of 22 November 1996 or any applicable anti-boycott laws or regulations. 
 (vv) Application has been
made by the Company and the Guarantors for the Notes to be admitted to the Official List of the Exchange and admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market of the Exchange. 

Each certificate signed by any officer of the Company or the Guarantors and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or their counsel shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, to the Initial Purchasers as to the matters covered thereby. 

2. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Notes. On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants herein contained

 3. Offering of the Notes and the Initial Purchasers’ Representations and Warranties.
Each of the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company and the Guarantors that: 

(a) It is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”). 

(b) It will solicit offers for such Notes only from, and will offer such Notes only to, persons that it reasonably believes to
be (A) QIBs or (B) in the case of offers outside the United States, to persons other than U.S. persons (“foreign purchasers”, which term shall include dealers or other professional fiduciaries in the United States acting
on a discretionary basis for foreign beneficial owners (other than an estate or trust)) in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act that, in each case, in purchasing such Notes are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided in the
Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum under the caption “Notice to Investors.” 
 (c) It will not offer or
sell the Notes using any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. 

(d) With respect to offers and sales outside the United States: 

(i) at or prior to the confirmation of any sale of any Notes sold in reliance on Regulation S, it will have sent to each
distributor, dealer or other person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Notes from it during the distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) a confirmation or notice substantially to the following
effect: 
 “The Notes covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, (i) as part of their distribution at any time; or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the
later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes and September 19, 2017, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.”;

 (ii) such Initial Purchaser has offered the Notes and will offer and sell the Notes (A) as part of its distribution
at any time and (B) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S or as otherwise permitted in Section 3(b); accordingly, such Initial
Purchaser has not engaged nor will engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Notes, and such Initial Purchaser has complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirements of
Regulation S; 

  
 16 

 (iii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only
communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in which
Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company or the Guarantors; and 
 (iv) it has complied and will comply
with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom. 

Terms used in Sections 3(d)(i) and (ii) have the meanings given to them by Regulation S. 

(e) Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may offer and sell Notes to or through any of
their respective affiliates and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Notes purchased by it to or through its affiliated Initial Purchaser. 

4. Covenants of the Company. The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, covenant and agree with the Initial Purchasers that:

 (a) The Company will prepare the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum in the form approved by the Representative
and will not amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum or otherwise distribute or refer to any “written communication” (as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes (other than the Offering Memorandum, the Final Memorandum and the Company Additional Written Information) without first furnishing to the Representative a copy of such proposed amendment or supplement and
will not use or file any amendment or supplement to which the Representative may reasonably object. 
 (b) The Company will
furnish to the Initial Purchasers and to Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP (“Counsel for the Initial Purchasers”) concurrently with the Time of Sale and during the period referred to in paragraph (c) below, without charge,
as many copies of the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto as they reasonably may request. 

(c) At any time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, if any event occurs or
condition exists as a result of which the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it should be necessary to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, to comply with applicable law, the Company will promptly
(i) notify the Initial Purchasers of the same; (ii) subject to the requirements of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, prepare and provide to the Initial Purchasers, at its own 

  
 17 

 
expense, an amendment or supplement to the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, so that the statements in the Offering Memorandum or Final Memorandum as so amended or supplemented will
not, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Memorandum or Final Memorandum, is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Offering Memorandum or Final Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law;
and (iii) supply any supplemented or amended Offering Memorandum or Final Memorandum, to the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, without charge, in such quantities as may be reasonably requested. 

(d) The Company will (i) qualify the Notes and the Guarantees for sale by the Initial Purchasers under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate and (ii) maintain such qualifications for so long as reasonably required for the resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process or subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or so subject. The Company will
promptly advise the Initial Purchasers of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose. 
 (e) At any time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, (x) the
Company will deliver to the Initial Purchasers such additional information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company as the Initial Purchasers may from time to time reasonably request and (y) whenever it or any of its
Subsidiaries publishes or makes available to the public (by filing with any regulatory authority or securities exchange or by publishing a press release or otherwise) any information that would reasonably be expected to be material in the context of
the issuance of the Notes under this Agreement, shall promptly notify the Initial Purchasers as to the nature of such information or event. At any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will notify the Initial
Purchasers of (i) any decrease in the rating of the Notes or any other debt securities of the Company by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act) or (ii) any notice
or public announcement given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or that any such securities rating agency has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Notes, as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Company becomes aware of any such decrease, notice or public announcement. 
 (f) The Company will not
and will not permit any of its Affiliates to resell any of the Notes that have been acquired by any of them, other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

  
 18 

 (g) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to which no statement is made) will, directly or indirectly, make offers or sales of any security, or solicit offers to buy any security, under circumstances
that would require the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act. 
 (h) None of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to which no statement is made), will solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell the Notes by means of any form of
general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. 

(i) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial
Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to which no statement is made), will engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Notes, and each of them will comply with the offering
restrictions requirements of Regulation S. 
 (j) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes as set
forth under “Use of Proceeds” in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. 
 (k) So long as any of the
Notes are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, at any time that the Company is not then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will provide at its expense to
each holder of the Notes and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of the Notes, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
(This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers designated by such holders from time to time, of the Notes.) 

(l) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts, in cooperation with the Initial Purchasers to cause the Securities to be
eligible for clearance and settlement through Euroclear and Clearstream. For so long as the Securities are eligible for resale in reliance on Rule 144A or Regulation S, if requested by the Initial Purchasers, the Company will use its reasonable
efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for settlement through the book entry facilities of Euroclear and Clearstream. 

(m) The Company and the Guarantors will (i) use their reasonable best efforts to list and to maintain the listing of the
Notes on the Official List of the Exchange for trading on the Global Exchange Market for so long as such Notes are outstanding and (ii) deliver to the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority and the Exchange copies of the Offering
Memorandum, the Final Memorandum and such other documents, information and undertakings as may be required in connection with obtaining such listing. 

  
 19 

 (n) Until completion of the distribution, neither the Company nor any of its
Affiliates will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company
to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes, or issue any press release or other public announcement referring to the offering of the Notes that does not adequately disclose the fact that stabilizing action may take place with respect to the
Notes. In the event that any stabilization action is taken in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 (“MAR”), the Company and the Guarantors authorize
the Representatives to make adequate public disclosure of the information required by MAR and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 506/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council
with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions to applicable buy-back programmes and stabilization measures. 

(o) For so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company and its Subsidiaries will conduct their operations in a manner that
will not subject the Company or any Subsidiary to registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. 

(p) Each Note will bear the legend contained in “Notice to Investors” in the Offering Memorandum and the Final
Memorandum for the time period and upon the other terms stated in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. 
 (q)
The Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to purchase debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Notes (other than the Notes
offered pursuant to this Agreement) for a period of 60 days after the date hereof, without the prior written consent of the Representative. 

(r) Each of the Company and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that each of the Initial Purchasers is acting solely in the
capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company and each Guarantor with respect to the offering of the Notes and the Guarantees contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not
as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, any Guarantor or any other person. Additionally, no Initial Purchaser is advising the Company, any Guarantor or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or
regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Each of the Company and each Guarantor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the Transactions, and
the Initial Purchasers shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or any Guarantor with respect thereto. Any review by the Initial Purchasers of the Company, any Guarantor, the Transactions or other matters relating to the Transactions
will be performed solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and shall not be on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor. 

(s) So long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Exchange and the rules of the Exchange so require, the Company
shall maintain a Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent in Ireland. 

  
 20 

 5. Expenses. (a) Whether or not the Transactions are consummated or this Agreement is
terminated, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the
Company’s counsel and the Company’s accountants in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation of each Memorandum and all amendments and supplements thereto,

connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum, (iv) all expenses and listing fees incurred in connection with the application for admission of the Notes on the Global Exchange Market of
the Irish Stock Exchange, (v) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Notes, (vi) the costs and charges of the Trustee and any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (vii) the cost of the preparation, issuance and
delivery of the Notes, (viii) all costs and expenses relating to investor presentations, including any “road show” presentations undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Notes, including, without limitation,

obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however, that except as provided in Section 5(b) of this Agreement, the Initial Purchasers will pay all of their costs and
expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Notes by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make. 

(b) If the sale of the Notes provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set
forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or the Guarantors to perform all obligations and
satisfy all conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers upon demand
for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with
the proposed purchase and sale of the Notes; provided that in the case of a termination pursuant to any of clauses (i) (other than a termination as a result of a suspension in trading in any securities of the Company), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) of Section 10(a) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers upon demand for one-half of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the
Notes.  

  
 21 

 6. Conditions to the Initial Purchasers’ Obligations. The obligations of the several
Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Notes shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in Section 1 hereof, in each case as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as
if made on and as of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of their covenants and agreements hereunder and to
the following additional conditions: 
 (a) The Initial Purchasers shall have received (i) an opinion and negative
assurance statement, dated the Closing Date, of Counsel for the Company, the form of which is attached as Exhibit A, and (ii) an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Brian E. Anderson, Esq., internal counsel for the Company, the form of which is
attached as Exhibit B. 
 (b) The Initial Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Counsel for
the Initial Purchasers, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Notes and such other related matters as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as it may reasonably
request for the purpose of enabling it to pass upon such matters. 
 (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have received on each
of the date hereof and the Closing Date a letter, dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, from Ernst &
Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the historical consolidated financial
statements and certain financial information of the Company included in or incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off date” within three days of the date of such letter. References to the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum in this paragraph (c) with respect to either letter referred to above shall
include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of such letter. 
 (d) (i) None of the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries, shall have sustained, since the date of the latest audited historical consolidated financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement
thereto), any loss or interference with their respective businesses or properties from fire, explosion, flood, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or
decree (whether domestic or foreign) otherwise than as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto); and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or any
change in or effect on or any development having a prospective change in or effect on the 

  
 22 

 
business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, earnings, financial condition, results of operations or management of the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise,
whether or not in the ordinary course of business, otherwise than as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any such case described in clause
(i) or (ii), is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner described in the Offering
Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 
 (e) The Initial Purchasers shall
have received certificates dated the Closing Date and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, of (i) the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and (ii) each Guarantor: as to
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in this Agreement at and as of the Closing Date; that the Company and or the applicable Guarantor(s), as the case may be, have performed all covenants and
agreements and satisfied all conditions on its or their part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; and as to the matters set forth in Section 6(d) (in the case of the certificate from the Company’s officers only).

 (f) The Notes shall have received initial ratings by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, and, subsequent to
the date hereof, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of the Notes or any of the Company’s other debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating agency”, as that term is defined by the Commission for
purposes of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, and no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review its ratings of the Notes or any of the Company’s other debt securities or any notice or
public announcement given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or that any such securities rating agency has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Notes. 

(g) The Notes shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through the Common Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream. 

(h) On or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have received such
further certificates, documents or other information as they may have reasonably requested from the Company. 
 7. [Reserved]. 

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Initial Purchaser against any
losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Initial Purchaser or such other person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged 

  
 23 

 
untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or
supplement thereto; or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, each Initial Purchaser and each such other person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such other person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
in any Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Initial Purchaser through the Representative specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 12 hereof. 
 (b) Each Initial
Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls any of the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Guarantors, any such affiliates, directors or officers or such controlling person may become
subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum,
the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any
Company Additional Written Information or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial
Purchaser through the Representative specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 12 hereof and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or the Guarantors or any such affiliates, directors or officers or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with, any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action in respect thereof. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by any person to whom indemnity may be available under this
Section 8 (the “indemnified party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any person from whom indemnity may be sought under this
Section 8 (the “indemnifying party”), notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify such 

  
 24 

 
indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party from (i) any liability which it may have under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8 to the extent it is not
materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) as a proximate result of the failure or (ii) any other liability which it may have to such indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and such indemnified party notifies the relevant indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the named parties in any such action (including impleaded parties) include both
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have concluded, based on advice of outside counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.
After notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof, unless (i) such indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for the reasonable expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel in any jurisdiction) for any indemnified person in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in
the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances) or (ii) such indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) such indemnifying party has
authorized the employment of counsel for such indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party, such indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of
any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the written consent of such indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to
the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party or any other person that may be entitled to indemnification
hereunder is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party and such other persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding and does not contain any statement as to or finding of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party. 

(d) (i) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable
or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, 

  
 25 

 
without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any action or claim) (or actions in respect thereof) (“Losses”), the
Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, agree to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses to
which the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, may be subject, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is unavailable for any reason, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company
and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses. The relative benefits received by the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses, but, for the avoidance of doubt, net of the Initial
Purchasers’ discounts) received by the Company bear to the total discounts, commissions and fees received by the Initial Purchasers from the Company in connection with the purchase of the Notes hereunder as set forth in the Final Memorandum or
this Agreement. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers, the parties’ intent, relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation (even
if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated
to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and fees received by such Initial Purchaser from the Company in connection with the purchase of the Notes hereunder, and no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to
contribute hereunder are several in proportion to their respective obligations to purchase Notes as set forth on Schedule I hereto and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other person listed in Section 8(a) hereof shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each affiliate, director or
officer of the Company or any Guarantor and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company
and the Guarantors. 
 (e) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any
obligations or liabilities which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have and the obligations of the respective Initial Purchasers under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any obligations or liabilities which the Initial Purchasers
may otherwise have. 

  
 26 

 9. Survival. The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants,
indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers, and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers or directors or any controlling person referred to in Section 8 hereof or any Initial Purchaser, its
affiliates, directors, officers and controlling persons and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof shall remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 
 10. Termination. (a) The
Representative may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Notes by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in any material respect all
obligations and satisfy in any material respect all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or if, at or prior to the Closing Date and after the execution of this Agreement (i) trading in securities
generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market, the Irish Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or trading in
any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on
any such exchange or market; (ii) there has been a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States, the United Kingdom or Ireland; (iii) a banking moratorium shall have
been declared by New York or United States authorities or by the competent governmental or regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom or Ireland; or (iv) there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the
European Union, any member state thereof or the United States and any foreign power, (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the European Union, any member state thereof or the United States,
(C) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or (D) any change in general economic, political or financial conditions which has an effect on the U.S. financial markets or the international financial markets that, in the case of any
event described in this clause (iv), in the sole judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Notes as disclosed in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum
or the Final Memorandum, exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto. 
 (b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 10 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Sections 5 and 8 hereof. 
 11.
Defaulting Initial Purchasers. If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be
obligated to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date (the “Remaining Notes”) in the respective proportions that the principal amount of the
Notes set opposite the name of each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of the Notes set opposite the names of all the
non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided, 

  
 27 

 
however, that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Notes on the Closing Date if the total amount of
Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 10% of the total amount of Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date, and no non-defaulting
Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the amount of Notes that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the
non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company who so agree, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in such proportion
as may be agreed upon among them, all the Remaining Notes. If the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers do not elect to purchase the Remaining
Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the
extent set forth herein. 
 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to
the Company for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting or withdrawing Initial Purchaser, the Company or the Representative may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full
business days in order to effect any changes in the Transaction Documents or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, may be necessary. 

12. Information Supplied by Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth in the second sentence of the sixth paragraph and seventh
paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, to the extent such statements relate to the Initial Purchasers, constitute the only information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to
the Company for the purposes of Sections 1(a) and 8 hereof. 
 13. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if
sent to any of the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission and confirmed in writing to Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Winchester House, 1 Great Winchester Street, London EC2N 2DB, United Kingdom,

107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information
may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

 14. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the
several Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the several
Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, except that (i) the indemnities of the Company contained in Section 8 of this Agreement
shall also be for the benefit of any affiliate, director or officer of an Initial Purchaser and any person or persons who control any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act and (ii) the indemnities of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 8 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the affiliates, directors and officers of the Company and the Guarantors, and any person or persons who
control the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No purchaser of Notes from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed a successor to such Initial Purchaser because
of such purchase. 
 15. Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any conflicts of law provisions that would apply the laws of another jurisdiction. 

16. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) All judicial proceedings arising out of or relating
to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, which jurisdiction is exclusive, and the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. 

(b) Each party agrees that any service of process or other legal summons in connection with any proceeding (whether based upon contract, tort
or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be served on it by mailing a copy thereof by registered mail, or a form of mail substantially equivalent thereto, postage prepaid, addressed to the served party at its address
as provided in Section 13 hereof. Nothing in this Section 16 shall affect the right of the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

(c) Each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any proceeding (whether based
upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding brought in any such court shall be
conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any other courts in the jurisdiction of which it is or may be subject, by suit upon any such judgment. 

17. Authority of Representative. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch on
behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers. 

  
 29 

 18. Judgment Currency. 

(a) The Company and each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify each Initial Purchaser, its directors, officers,
affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any loss incurred by such Initial Purchaser as a result of any
judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than euros and as a result of any variation as between (i) the
rate of exchange at which the euro amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase euro with the amount of the judgment
currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and each Guarantor and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or
order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency. 

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, jointly and not severally, agrees to indemnify the Company and the Guarantors and their respective affiliates,
directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls any of the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any loss incurred by the Company or such
Guarantor, as applicable, as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a judgment currency and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate
of exchange at which the euro amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase euro with the amount of the judgment
currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of each Initial Purchaser and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as

 30 

 (iii) the cancellation of the BRRD Liability; and

 EXHIBIT A 

1. The Company is validly existing as a corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power
and authority necessary to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum in all material respects. Each of the Covered Guarantors [DE only] is validly existing
as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, necessary to own
or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum in all material respects. The Company and each Covered Guarantor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity
and is in good standing under the laws of each such jurisdiction set forth opposite the respective entity’s name on Annex A hereto. 

2. The Indenture has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Covered Guarantors and (assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee and the Guarantors other than the Covered Guarantors) constitutes the valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance
with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles and an
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”). 

3. The Notes have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, when paid for by the Initial Purchasers in
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee and the Guarantors other than the Covered Guarantors, and due authentication and delivery of the Notes by the
Trustee in accordance with the Indenture), will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms, except that the
enforcement thereof may be subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. 
 4. The Guarantees have been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Covered Guarantors and, when the Notes have been paid for by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (assuming (i) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Guarantees by the

Guarantees by the Guarantors other than the Covered Guarantors in accordance with the Indenture), will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantors, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and enforceable against each of
them in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. 

  
 A-1 

 5. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the
Covered Guarantors. 
 6. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers and the issuance of the Guarantees) will not constitute or result in a breach or a default under (or an event that with notice or
passage of time or both would constitute a default under) any of (i) the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company or the comparable organizational documents of the Covered Guarantors, or (ii) any statute or any judgment,
order or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority known to such counsel, except, with respect to clause (ii) only, for any such conflict, breach, violation or default that would not reasonably be expected to
result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to clause (ii) above, such counsel need not express any opinion as to the applicability of any federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws or federal or state
antifraud laws, rules or regulations. 
 7. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any governmental authority is required for the
issuance and sale by the Company of the Notes and the issuance of the Guarantees by the Guarantors or the consummation by the Company and the Guarantors of the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, except (i) such as may be
required under state securities or Blue Sky laws, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion, (ii) such as may be required under federal securities laws, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion other than the opinion
provided in paragraphs 8 and 9 below, and (iii) those which have previously been obtained. 
 8. None of the Company and the Guarantors
are, and immediately after the sale of the Securities to be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the application of the proceeds from such sale (as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum under the caption “Use of
Proceeds”) will be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act. 
 9. Assuming the accuracy
of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in the Purchase Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required in connection with the sale of the Notes to the
Initial Purchasers or in connection with the initial resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, in each case as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum. 

10. The statements under the captions “Description of Notes” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”
in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, insofar as such statements relate to statements of law or summaries of documents referred to therein or of legal conclusions, have been reviewed by such counsel and such statements of law and
summaries of documents are accurate in all material respects. 
 In addition, such counsel shall also state that it has participated in conferences with
representatives of the Company and the Guarantors and with representatives of the Company’s independent accountants at which conferences the contents of the Offering Memorandum and the 

  
 A-2 

 
Final Memorandum and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters were discussed. Although such counsel has not undertaken to determine independently, and does not assume any
responsibility for, or express any opinion regarding the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (except as expressly provided in paragraph 10 above), based upon the
participation described above, nothing has come to the attention of such counsel to cause such counsel to believe that the Offering Memorandum, as of the Time of Sale, or that the Final Memorandum, as of its date or at the Closing Date, contained or
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In making the foregoing statement,
such counsel need not express any comment or belief with respect to the financial statements and notes and related schedules and other financial and accounting data contained in or omitted from the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

I am Senior Vice President, Legal, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Belden Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). In
that capacity I have acted as counsel for the Company and the Guarantors (as defined below) with respect to the matters described herein. This letter is being delivered in response to the requirement in Section 6(a) of the Purchase Agreement
dated September 11, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as representative (the “Representative”) for the several purchasers listed on Schedule I to the Purchase Agreement (the
“Initial Purchasers”), the Company, the guarantors listed on Schedule II to the Purchase Agreement (the “Guarantors”) relating to the sale by the Company of €300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s
2.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to be issued under the Indenture, dated as of September 19, 2017 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors, Deutsche Trustee Company Limited, as Trustee (the
“Trustee”), Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as Principal Paying Agent, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Notes are guaranteed pursuant to the guarantees to be issued by the Guarantors on the date
hereof, as evidenced by the Notations of Guarantees (the “Guarantees,” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 
 In connection with the preparation of this letter, I have among other things read: 

(a) the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated September 11, 2017, relating to the offering and sale of the Notes (the “Preliminary
Offering Memorandum”); 

  
 B-1 

 (b) the Supplement to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated September 11, 2017 (the
“Pricing Supplement” and, collectively with the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the “Offering Memorandum”); 
 (c) the
Offering Memorandum, dated September 11, 2017, relating to the offering and sale of the Notes (the “Final Offering Memorandum”); 

(d) an executed copy of the Purchase Agreement; 

(e) an executed copy of the Indenture; 

(f) the executed Notes and the executed Guarantees; 

(g) a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting held on September [    ], 2017;

 (h) a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors, of the Company dated September
[    ], 2017, under authority delegated to him by the Board of Directors; 
 (i) a copy of the resolutions adopted by the
boards of directors of the Guarantors dated September [    ], 2017; 
 (j) copies of all certificates and other documents
delivered in connection with the sale of the Notes on the date hereof and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; and 

(k) such other records, certificates and documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to deliver the opinions set forth herein.

 Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations which are identified in this letter, I advise you that: 

1. To my knowledge and except as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, there are no legal or governmental
proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or of which any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the subject that would, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; and to my knowledge and except as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or others that would, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company and each of the
Guarantors (as applicable) of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees and the issuance and sale of the Securities as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum do not and will not result in a material
breach, default or violation under any existing obligation of or restriction on such entity under any agreements filed (including by incorporation by reference) pursuant to Items 601(b)(l)(2),(4) or (10) of Regulation

  
 B-2 

 
S-K as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and
any subsequent current reports on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Material Agreements”), it being expressly understood that I express no opinion as to any federal securities laws, securities laws of any
state or foreign jurisdiction (including “Blue Sky” laws), the indemnification and contribution provisions of the Purchase Agreement or the effect of such entity’s performance of its obligations on such entity’s compliance with
financial covenants or covenants requiring financial calculations. If a Material Agreement is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than Missouri, I have assumed such Material Agreement is governed by the laws of Missouri. 

I am admitted to practice law in the State of Missouri and the opinion expressed herein is limited to the present law of the State of Missouri
and the federal law of the United States. I express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. To the extent the opinions expressed herein are governed by laws other than the State of Missouri or federal law of the United States, I have
assumed with your permission that the laws of each such other jurisdiction are the same as the laws of the State of Missouri. 
 This
opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and I render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. The foregoing opinions are limited in all respects to existing applicable laws, each as in effect on
the date hereof I undertake no obligation or responsibility to update or supplement my opinions set forth herein in response to subsequent changes in the law or to reflect facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this opinion and come to
our attention. 
 This opinion letter is provided in my capacity as General Counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. You may rely upon this letter only for the purpose served by the provision in the Purchase Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without my written
consent: (i) no person (including any person that acquires securities from you) other than you may rely on this letter for any purpose; provided, however, my opinion may be relied upon by the Trustee under the Indenture;
(ii) this letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might
encourage reliance upon this letter by any person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance. 

Very truly yours,

WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter
called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, an amount equal to the
Redemption Amount (as defined below) on the Stated Maturity Date (as defined below), unless this Security is redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity Date as provided below under “Optional Redemption,” and to pay Contingent Coupon Payments
(as defined below) on the Face Amount of this Security to the extent provided herein on the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates specified herein at the Contingent Coupon Rate (as defined below) until the earlier of the Stated Maturity Date and the
Optional Redemption Date (as defined below), if any. The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be September 16, 2019. If the Final Calculation Day (as defined below) is not postponed, the Initial Stated Maturity Date will be the
“Stated Maturity Date.” If the Final Calculation Day is postponed, the “Stated Maturity Date” shall be the later of (i) the Initial Stated Maturity Date and (ii) the third Business Day (as defined below)
after the last Final Calculation Day as postponed. 
 “Face Amount” shall mean, when used with respect to
this Security, the amount set forth on the face of this Security as its “Face Amount.” 
 Optional Redemption 

The Company may, at its option, redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, on any Optional Redemption Date (as defined
below) by giving notice to the Holder hereof on or before the 

 
Calculation Day immediately preceding that Optional Redemption Date. If this Security is redeemed, the Holder hereof will receive the Optional Redemption Price (as defined below) plus a final
Contingent Coupon Payment (as defined below), if any, on the applicable Optional Redemption Date. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price plus the final Contingent Coupon Payment, if any, this Security will cease
to be outstanding on such Optional Redemption Date, no additional Contingent Coupon Payments will be payable on this Security and the Holder hereof will have no further rights under this Security after such Optional Redemption Date. The
“Optional Redemption Price” is equal to the Face Amount of this Security. The “Optional Redemption Dates” shall be the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates (as defined below) following each Calculation Day (as defined
below) scheduled to occur from March 2018 to June 2019, inclusive. 
 Payment of Contingent Coupon Payments, the Redemption Amount and the Optional
Redemption Price 
 On each quarterly Contingent Coupon Payment Date, the Company shall pay a Contingent Coupon
Payment if, and only if, the Closing Level (as defined below) of the Lowest Performing Index (as defined below) on the related Calculation Day (as defined below) is greater than or equal to its Threshold Level (as defined below). A
“Contingent Coupon Payment,” if payable as provided herein, shall be equal to the product of (i) the Face Amount of this Security, (ii) the Contingent Coupon Rate, and (iii) 90/360. The “Contingent Coupon
Payment Dates” shall be the third Business Day following each Calculation Day, as each such Calculation Day may be postponed as herein provided, provided that the Contingent Coupon Payment Date with respect to the Final Calculation Day will
be the Stated Maturity Date. If a Calculation Day is postponed with respect to one or both Indices, the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed. The “Contingent Coupon
Rate” is 6.75% per annum. Any Contingent Coupon Payments will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. 

Any Contingent Coupon Payment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Contingent Coupon Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Contingent Coupon Payment next preceding such
Contingent Coupon Payment Date. The Regular Record Date for a Contingent Coupon Payment Date shall be the date one Business Day prior to such Contingent Coupon Payment Date. 

Any Contingent Coupon Payment not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed
by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

  
 2 

 Payment of any Contingent Coupon Payment on this Security will be made in
immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of any Contingent Coupon Payment may be paid by
check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated by such Person. Payments of any Contingent Coupon Payment and the
Redemption Amount or the Optional Redemption Price, as applicable, on this Security at Maturity will be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis,
Minnesota and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Security is a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary, any payments on this Security will be
made to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 
 Payment of the Redemption Amount or the Optional
Redemption Price, as applicable, and any Contingent Coupon Payments on this Security will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

Definitions Relating to Redemption Amount, the Optional Redemption Price and Contingent Coupon Payments 

If this Security is not redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity Date as provided above under “Optional Redemption,”
the “Redemption Amount” of this Security will equal: 
  

	 	•	 	 if the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day (as defined below) is greater
than or equal to its Threshold Level: the Face Amount; or 

  

	 	•	 	 if the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is less than its Threshold
Level: 

  

																											
		 		 		 		 	 	 	Face Amount	 	  x        	 	Performance Factor of the Lowest Performing	 	 	 		 		 		 		 	
		 		 		 		 	 	 	 	 	Index on the Final Calculation Day	 	 	 		 		 		 		 	

 All calculations with respect to the Redemption Amount will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth,
with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., 0.000005 would be rounded to 0.00001); and the Redemption Amount will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. 

“Index” shall mean each of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index. 

The “Pricing Date” shall mean September 11, 2017. 

The “Lowest Performing Index” for any Calculation Day will be the Index with the lowest Performance Factor on
that Calculation Day (as such Calculation Day may be postponed for one or both Indices). 

  
 3 

 The “Performance Factor” with respect to an Index on any
Calculation Day is its Closing Level on such Calculation Day divided by its Starting Level (expressed as a percentage). 

The “Starting Level” with respect to the S&P 500 Index is 2466.15, which was the level of that Index at
the time of pricing on the Pricing Date, and with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1404.100, which was the level of that Index at the time of pricing on the Pricing Date. 

The “Ending Level” of an Index will be its Closing Level on the Final Calculation Day. 

The “Threshold Level” with respect to the S&P 500 Index is 1726.305, which is equal to 70% of its
Starting Level, and with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 982.870, which is equal to 70% of its Starting Level. 
 The
“Closing Level” with respect to each Index on any Trading Day means the official closing level of that Index reported by the relevant Index Sponsor on such Trading Day, as obtained by the Calculation Agent on such Trading Day from
the licensed third-party market data vendor contracted by the Calculation Agent at such time; in particular, taking into account the decimal precision and/or rounding convention employed by such licensed third-party market data vendor on such date,
subject to the provisions set forth below under “—Market Disruption Events” and “—Discontinuance of an Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation.” 

“Index Sponsor” shall mean the sponsor or publisher of an Index. 

“Business Day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day
on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in New York, New York. 
 The
“Calculation Days” shall be the 11th day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 2017 and ending June 2019, and the Final Calculation Day. If any such day
is not a Trading Day with respect to either Index, that Calculation Day for each Index will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Trading Day with respect to each Index. A Calculation Day for an Index is also subject to postponement due
to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) with respect to such Index on such Calculation Day. The “Final Calculation Day” is September 11, 2019. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with
respect to an Index on any Calculation Day, then such Calculation Day for such Index will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day for such Index on which a Market Disruption Event for such Index has not occurred and is not continuing;
however, if such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day for such Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Calculation Day for such Index. If a
Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days for an Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to such Index on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will
determine the Closing Level of such Index on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of such Index last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event, using the closing
price (or, with respect to any relevant security, if a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to such security, its good faith estimate of the value of such security at the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant

  
 4 

 
Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange) on such date of each security included in such Index. As
used herein, “closing price” means, with respect to any security on any date, the Relevant Stock Exchange traded or quoted price of such security as of the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or,
if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding the postponement of a Calculation Day for one Index due to a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Index on such Calculation
Day, the originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for the other Index if such other Index is not affected by a Market Disruption Event on such day. 

“Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of March 18, 2015
between the Company and the Calculation Agent, as amended from time to time. 
 “Calculation Agent” shall
mean the Person that has entered into the Calculation Agent Agreement with the Company providing for, among other things, whether a Contingent Coupon Payment will be made, the Optional Redemption Price, if any, and the Redemption Amount, if any,
which term shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include its successors under such Calculation Agent Agreement. The initial Calculation Agent shall be Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. Pursuant to the Calculation Agent Agreement, the Company may
appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the initial issuance of this Security without the consent of the Holder of this Security and without notifying the Holder of this Security. 

Certain Definitions 
 A
“Trading Day” with respect to an Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect to each security underlying such Index are scheduled to be open for trading for
their respective regular trading sessions and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session. 

The “Relevant Stock Exchange” for any security underlying an Index means the primary exchange or quotation
system on which such security is traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent. 
 The “Related Futures or Options
Exchange” for an Index means an exchange or quotation system where trading has a material effect (as determined by the Calculation Agent) on the overall market for futures or options contracts relating to such Index. 

Discontinuance Of An Index; Alteration Of Method Of Calculation 

If an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index, and such Index Sponsor or another entity publishes a successor or
substitute equity index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to such Index (a “Successor Equity Index”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the
Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor Equity Index as calculated by the relevant Index Sponsor or any other entity for purposes of calculating the Closing Level of such Index on any date of determination. Upon
any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Equity Index, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security. 

  
 5 

 In the event that an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index
prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing on, a Calculation Day and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Equity Index is available at such time, the Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level for such Index in
accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that discontinuance. If a Successor Equity Index is
selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for such Index, the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for such Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption
Event exists. 
 If on a Calculation Day an Index Sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of an Index, the
Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level of such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised such Index
immediately prior to that failure; provided that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day with respect to such Index, then the provisions set forth above under the definition of “Calculation Days” shall
apply in lieu of the foregoing. 
 If at any time the relevant Index Sponsor makes a material change in the formula for or
the method of calculating an Index, or in any other way materially modifies such Index (other than a modification prescribed in that formula or method to maintain such Index in the event of changes in constituent stock and capitalization and other
routine events), then, from and after that time, the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the Closing Level of such Index is to be calculated, calculate a substitute Closing Level of such Index in
accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the change, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that change. Accordingly, if the method of calculating an Index
is modified so that the level of such Index is a fraction or a multiple of what it would have been if it had not been modified, then the Calculation Agent will adjust such Index in order to arrive at a level of such Index as if it had not been
modified. 
 Market Disruption Events 

A “Market Disruption Event” with respect to an Index means any of the following events as determined by the
Calculation Agent in its sole discretion: 
  

	 	(A)	 The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the Relevant Stock
Exchanges or otherwise relating to securities which then comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or any Successor Equity Index at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day, whether by reason of
movements in price exceeding limits permitted by those Relevant Stock Exchanges or otherwise. 

  

	 	(B)	 The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by any Related
Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise in futures or options contracts relating to such Index or any Successor Equity Index on any Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that

  
 6 

	 	 
ends at the Close of Trading on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Related Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise. 

 

	 	(C)	 The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the
ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, securities that then comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or any Successor Equity Index on their Relevant Stock Exchanges at any time during
the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day. 

  

	 	(D)	 The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the
ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, futures or options contracts relating to such Index or any Successor Equity Index on any Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time during the
one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day. 

  

	 	(E)	 The closure on any Exchange Business Day of the Relevant Stock Exchanges on which securities that then
comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or any Successor Equity Index are traded or any Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Index or any Successor Equity Index prior to its Scheduled Closing Time unless the earlier
closing time is announced by the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such Relevant Stock
Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, system for execution at such actual
closing time on that day. 

  

	 	(F)	 The Relevant Stock Exchange for any security underlying such Index or Successor Equity Index or any Related
Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Index or Successor Equity Index fails to open for trading during its regular trading session. 

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to an Index: 

 

	 	(1)	 the relevant percentage contribution of a security to the level of such Index or any Successor Equity Index

Disruption Event; 

  

	 	(2)	 the “Close of Trading” on any Trading Day for such Index or any Successor Equity Index means

 7 

	 	 
Trading Day; provided that, if the actual closing time of the regular trading session of any such Relevant Stock Exchange is earlier than its Scheduled Closing Time on such Trading Day, then
(x) for purposes of clauses (A) and (C) of the definition of “Market Disruption Event” above, with respect to any security underlying such Index or Successor Equity Index for which such Relevant Stock Exchange is its
Relevant Stock Exchange, the “Close of Trading” means such actual closing time and (y) for purposes of clauses (B) and (D) of the definition of “Market Disruption Event” above, with respect to any futures or
options contract relating to such Index or Successor Equity Index, the “Close of Trading” means the latest actual closing time of the regular trading session of any of the Relevant Stock Exchanges, but in no event later than the Scheduled
Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchanges; 

  

	 	(3)	 the “Scheduled Closing Time” of any Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options
Exchange on any Trading Day for such Index or any Successor Equity Index means the scheduled weekday closing time of such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange on such Trading Day, without regard to after hours or any other
trading outside the regular trading session hours; and 

  

	 	(4)	 an “Exchange Business Day” means any Trading Day for such Index or any Successor Equity Index
on which each Relevant Stock Exchange for the securities underlying such Index or any Successor Equity Index and each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Index or any Successor Equity Index are open for trading during their
respective regular trading sessions, notwithstanding any such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange closing prior to its Scheduled Closing Time.

 The Company covenants that, so long as this Security is Outstanding, there shall at all times be a Calculation
Agent (which shall be a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) with respect to this Security.

WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K 

Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the S&P 500®
Index 
 and the Russell 2000® Index due September 16, 2019 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the
“Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of July 21, 1999, as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and
Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series of the Securities designated as Medium-Term Notes, Series K, of the Company, which series is limited to an aggregate principal amount or face amount, as applicable, of $25,000,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in one or more
foreign or composite currencies. The amount payable on the Securities of this series may be determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity-, commodity- or currency-based indices, exchange traded funds, securities, commodities,
currencies, statistical measures of economic or financial performance, or a basket comprised of two or more of the foregoing, or any other market measure or may bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate. The Securities of this series may
mature at different times, be redeemable at different times or not at all, be repayable at the option of the Holder at different times or not at all and be denominated in different currencies. 

Article Sixteen of the Indenture shall not apply to this Security. 

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons and will be either
(a) book-entry securities represented by one or more Global Securities recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary or (b) certificated
securities issued to and registered in the names of, the beneficial owners or their nominees. 
 The Company agrees, to the
extent permitted by law, not to voluntarily claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of interest against a Holder of this Security. 

Modification and Waivers 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights
and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the 

  
 11 

 
time Outstanding of all series to be affected, acting together as a class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all
series at the time Outstanding affected by certain provisions of the Indenture, acting together as a class, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with those provisions of the Indenture. Certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived under the Indenture by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such
series. Solely for the purpose of determining whether any consent, waiver, notice or other action or Act to be taken or given by the Holders of Securities pursuant to the Indenture has been given or taken by the Holders of Outstanding Securities in
the requisite aggregate principal amount, the principal amount of this Security will be deemed to be equal to the amount set forth on the face hereof as the “Face Amount” hereof. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Security. 
 Defeasance

Indenture, relating to defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein,
shall not apply to this Security. The remaining provisions of Section 401 of the Indenture shall apply to this Security. 
 Authorized
Denominations 
 This Security is issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 Registration of Transfer 

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of the Company in the City of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, a new Security or Securities of this series, with the same terms as this Security, in authorized denominations for an equal aggregate Face Amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor, as provided in the
Indenture and subject to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 

This Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form only if (x) the Depositary notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not
appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form
and notifies the Trustee thereof or (z) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented hereby has occurred and is continuing. If this Security is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities in registered 

  
 12 

 
form, bearing interest at the same rate, having the same date of issuance, Stated Maturity Date and other terms and of authorized denominations aggregating a like amount. 

This Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the
Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Global
Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders hereof for any purpose under the Indenture. 

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

of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Contingent Coupon Payments, if any, and the Redemption Amount or the Optional Redemption Price, as applicable, on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed, except as otherwise provided in this Security.

such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.
